This portfolio is a collection of selected works, showcasing a variety of creative vision in the spectrum of Design in Architecture. These selected projects are un-built projects that explores different conditions of spaces that differs from the conventional.

Through a variety of digital mediums, a lot of the visual elements are rendered, stitched together and montaged to bring life to an idea. Drawings are layered out, to sit against one another to create readability / synergy with each other. Graphically creating something stimulating to the eye and inspiring.

There were many experiences and knowledge developed over the course of my work years. From construction and building engineering to visualisation and spatial development. There is an adapt selection of works showcasing this pathway.

Although the Architecture Design Field is highly demanding. A lot of my free time is used for photography.

Hoping one day, that there will be an opportunity to chase after the idea of designing through photography and cinematography. There is a valuable lesson that can be learnt from photography to shape architecture, where many creative artist are able to pursue and have a significant impact in their vision and how they see things.

Overall, this portfolio is a gallery of works that exhibits my curiosity and pursuit in my career trajectory.

Hoping this exhibition reaches out to other visionaries to pursue what their vision hungers for.

A motif of hexagons, inspired by Bee’s Honey Comb, is used as a driver to create façades, furniture and spaces. As a challenge, there was a need to house the bicycle community and expanding that community and it’s ideals.

PROJECT BRIEF

DESIGN CONCEPT

The Design Brief entails a series of spaces to accommodate a normal function of a contemporary museum and in addition, based on this project situated on a secluded island, it is to be design with a range of accommodations.

Requirements are:

The design is about identity and how it is our personal experiences that weaves in the structure of our persona.

MUSEUM - Museum Entrance / Lobby Cafe / Social Spaces - Performance Art Spaces - Generic Art Spaces - Sculptural Art Spaces - Rare Artefact Space - Workshop - Theatre Space - Generic Internal Requirements ACCOMMODATION - Lobby / Entrance - 12 Bedrooms / Singular / Double - Lounge Area

Our persona changes over time, as we begin to learn and explore the spaces that surrounds us.

It is moments like these, where the layers of character, stitches together to make us who we are, whether it was then, or here, or there.

THE ARCHITECTURE The architecture explores spaces through a series of elements that contrast with one another, juxtaposing to allow users to refresh themselves after being engrossed with an exhibition. Essentially, the massing consist 3 main elements. 1 being a semi closed volume, 2 an external open ventilated courtyard hallway, and 3 a partially open volume.

Upon entering the museum, users will find themselves travelling from an internal exhibition, learning and digesting what is housed in that space.

Then the user will move towards the central hallway, which is an external courtyard hall like space where stairs stitch together the two volumes together. Here is where they can reset themselves and refresh their mindset, experiencing exterior elements before embracing their next exhibition.

In my personal experience, I find museums spaces interestingly boring. During my precedent studies, I realised architect Tadao Ando, loves bringing in natural elements into an exhibition space, bring interest and freshness.

I wanted to create spaces that contrast with one another, to make it experientially different from another so the body can physically remember the moments. I played with how light comes in, where they can, and how. I then played with how direct sunlight enters the space, and if it can bounce itself off to create soft, moodier, ambient light.

However, there will be some spaces housing artworks that need to be within a controlled, artificial lighting. For several reasons, like artwork fragility, damage, photon burns, etc.

I wanted to challenge that norm and design something different and fun.

CHARACTER I wanted to create a facade that would shape the building’s character and identity. I was inspired by the polynesians use of weaving techniques in their daily life usage. After further investigation, this weaving offers a structural integrity and I thought that would be a beautiful opportunity to create something breathtaking.

Weaving has such of an interesting pattern when seen on a elevation. In some cases, the weaving will leave a little opening or window. Literally, translated into a window opening, there was an interesting play of shapes and geometry to shape the pattern. As a result, you get intersecting ribbons of shadows that weave along the slab internally.

M A S S I N G DESIGN APPROACH The design approach stems a lot from what Polynesian use art for, identity. The use patterns and shapes, colours and scale to identity objects and create ownership.

I wanted elements within the building to reflect this strategy and turn them into experiential components and structural elements of the design.

The other issue I find with museums is that the spaces internally are generally dull, boring, mundane and stale as how users interact with the space. Mainly, spaces in museum are generally thought with the intention of building to house a permanent object.

This makes the space flat and desaturated, although the main focus is to bring focus to the artwork, it offers an unmemorable experience.

Unique spaces are the most influential spaces into a user.

How that happens is when you explore between two contrasting elements, space or feature.

S I T E A N A L Y S I S SITE PLAN The site is a secluded island along the main river of Sydney, stretching from Parramatta Bay to Circular Quay. It is a main ferry route and the only way to get here is by boat. The site contains a lot of Sydney’s heritage, tapped and known for ages, many events are held here throughout the years. This land was originally known and used to hold convicts that serve their sentence by doing heavy industrial works fixing and creating ships and boats to service Sydney.

Given what still remains here, I was inspired by the remaining conditions of the spaces and the materials found on site. A lot of old steel and brickworks remain, with rustic corrugated cladding, to barred windows and suspended timber flooring. But what is amazing is how these buildings became slightly eroded and damaged throughout its time. It created unique spaces where light pierces through the little cracks and nooks, filling up what was a dark industrial space into a delightful and vibrant space, a experience to remember.

PROJECT BRIEF The project brief is to accommodate current social activities and reshape shapes that can accommodate for the growing cycle community of Surry Hills. The project is to challenge current normal spatial forms, however, staying true to surrounding materials and history, shaping an architecture of baldness and uniquely fun and favourable.

DESIGN CONCEPT The design is inspired by the community of Bees and the honey comb structure. Honey comb structure is derived from a hexagonal shape.Bee’s are known for their enginuity in creating comblike structures out of polygons. These shapes offer a uniquly striking visual element and built form that can encapsulate shapes and enlightne their values.

A lot of my free time is dedicated to photography. I like the idea of photography because it brings a value of appreciation to what is found in reality and shape the way i see or visualise things.

My utter most inspiration is Architecture Photography or Urban Photography. This sort of style shapes how i feel and value about certain spaces and there is a sense of beauty and inspiration from still images of these fragments of life.

However, my photography journey did started from elsewhere, and that Landscape Photography and Street Photography.

Landscape photography because i love how natural colours of the environment have its own harmony and beauty. Street Photography because i was interested in social activities and human interaction, whether that they knew i was taking or not taking a photo of them.

They became fragments of life that i want to capture and share and use them an in inspirational design tool to shape and help me build.

This section of the portfolio is a collection of selected works that demonstrates the capacity to create stunning imagery throughout my career trajectory. A lot of my inspiration comes from photography, utilising what makes a good image. Using those rules to formulate a composition that would make any visualisation project, a one to remember.

These projects mention in this catagory are also used to create construction methodology imagery showcasing a series of images. These images are put together to fomulate a story that tells about the construction of the project, from designing to project built on site and handed over to respective clients.

Utilities : 3ds Max, Vray, Revit, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator.
