TY QUACH

Hi, I have recently completed my Masters of Architecture at Monash University and looking to join a team to begin my Journey in the architectural profession. I completed my Bachelors of Architecture at UNISA and took a challenge to complete my degree at Monash University.

With a degree in Architecture and experience in retail and hospitality, I am confident that I have specific qualities that you are looking for in a candidate. I am always well presented in my verbal and non-verbal communication that has developed through my 7-year

commitment for Woolworths Limited. I enjoy working within a team environment and also have the ability to work independently. I have great time management skills, balancing full-time study and working part time throughout my time at University. I currently work at Dan Murphy’s at the QV Centre and The Terminus Hotel. Working in retail and hospitality has given me the opportunities to broaden and develop skills that I believe can be applied in the working environments of an architectural practice. Skills such as commitment, interpersonal skills, problem-solving, teamwork, organization and flexibility. While maintaining two jobs and completing my Masters I am confident I have the ability to apply myself to any situation given to me in a working environment. I’m looking to focus on my career and apply my time to furthering my skills and knowledge in the architectural practice. I want to work for a practice where there are many personal growth and career development opportunities.

Australasian Student Architecture Congress 2015 Super Studio 2015

PUNK Eduardo Kairuz

This studio offers the opportunity to explore how architectural design can be exercised as a form of political resistance. We were engage with the design process through civilized forms of dissent and disobedience. The studio seeks to find if architecture can become a tangible manifestation of counterculture, as well as an effective instrument for political activism.

In a historic time marked by increasing marginalization and inequality, the studio suggests that architecture, first and foremost, must attend the basic needs of the most vulnerable social groups. These include migrants, the poor, the young, and other segregated minorities, who are more likely to be affected by austerity, deregulation, bigotry, racism, and trickle-down economics.

This studio is expected to provide students with skills to respond to a number of important questions, including: • What is the role of disobedience in architectural practice?

• Should architecture contribute to the production of counter cultural manifestations in society?

• Can architecture be an instrument to simultaneously raise awareness and provide potential solutions?

• If so, what does the discipline of architecture becomes then?

SWAMP II Nigel Bertram & Rutger Pasmann

The studio investigates how underlying landscapes can inform building typologies and how at a time of new climate threats these typologies can evolve towards a liveable future. ArdenMacaulay is designated as one of Melbourne’s inner city growth areas. The reclaimed industrial history and its immediate proximity to the CBD and Parkville Employment cluster make the area ripe for future development. The investments in metropolitan infrastructure in and around Arden-Macaulay support a high-density living unlike other development areas in Melbourne. The floodplain is an artificial, highly engineered landscape filled with objects and structures of other urban influences. Its central spine is a creek that is not a creek. Like many Australian watercourses it never really reached the sea but terminated in a swamp. The dredging of this swamp and the cutting of the creek towards it secured new land for sale and development in the late 19th century, while Melbourne was at the height of its global prowess. Now, a century later, while the land prices have skyrocketed and the attitude towards swamps and wetlands have changed, the floods return. The invisibility of older conditions may have been forgotten but in a future of changing the climate and increased density these conditions resurface and disrupt the envisioned urban life.

FIT FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION Daniel Yusko & Hannes McNamara The studio seeks to explore the good, the bad, the ugly and the future of public architecture. We are surrounded by successes and failures of infrastructure which have doomed our communities, neighborhoods and memories. We investigated public architecture and spaces, researching, reviewing, redrawing and remodeling in order to understand the spatial and physical elements of architecture and the public domain. We were challenged with monumental gestures alongside pedestrian scale interventions.

Given the opportunity to develop a brief and propose a building on the proposed site master-plan.

Core Design Interests.

- public buildings past, present and future - critique of public buildings and spaces in our urban environment - activation of public domain - architecture as a catalyst - nothing is too small or too large

PLAY + LEARN Angelique Edmonds & Alison McFadyen In this studio, we were to design a publicly accessible facility offering space for early childhood learning in combination with three collaboratively owned and managed community space. The final scheme must purpose a design solution which demonstrates integration between the programmatic requirements of the internal activities and leverages relationships with the existing adjacent public realm and aspects of the urban fabric within the precinct. The design proposal should also explore and exploit the tensions and synergies of the program combination selected. The design proposal should also respond to the conditions of being on a corner site with all four facades being explored and moderate passing pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
