My name is Tammy Tan, and I am an architecture student at the University of Sydney. I am currently looking for a student architect position on a part-time basis in an architecture studio.

I completed a double degree (Bachelor of Design in Architecture and Bachelor of Engineer ing) at the University of Sydney in 2016. The unique combination of education enables me a broader vison and deeper understanding in both fields. Carrying a fusion of values from the two, I resumed my study in Master of Architecture in 2017, for my ongoing cur iosity and passion in both engineer ing and architectural challenges.

The portfolio selects works from 2015 to 2017. It follows the themes from visionar y architecture to tectonic architecture. It shows my thoughts and speculative steps in explor ing the inextr icable relation between architecture and engineering, nature and culture.

Struggled in between, with open mind and many unknow, I am ready to be a keen leaner. Thanks for taking time considering my application.

I look forward to hearing from you.

ARCHITECTURE STUDIO 3A

Project Brief: The project is based on an imaginary site. The aim of the project is to design a habitable bridge across the river. Giving a specific geog raphical context, the br idge is considered not only as a physical linkage cross the environmental obstacle but also a metaphor of moment transition between two randomly assigned programs to each student. In this case, the allocated programs are wine bar and tobacconist.

Concept Diagram: The search for essence relation between wine and tobacco queries the answers to what wine and tobacco actually are, where they are coming from, and to where they are going to. Influenced by Pythagoras’s theory of metempsychosis and Zhuangzi’s views of uniformity, the concept for the design - Cycle, gradually emerged.

Ideal visions came to mind: Between earth and sky, where lays the existence and development of all creatures, consistent flow of water, is the spir it and the source of life. A waterwheel dr iven by r iver cur rent raises the water and irrigates the land along the banks, where wine grapes are r ipening on the south bank of the r iver while tobacco yield on the north. Tobacco leaves are made to cigarettes, burnt to ashes, fallen back to earth to nourish the new growth. Grapes are made to wine, volatized and drawn up by the clouds, and again rained back to fertilise earth.

I t i s t h e c y c l e o f n a t u re, t h e i n t e rd e p e n d e n c y a n d mu t u a l nour ishment that br ing us the continuous supply of wine and tobacco.

Concept Model: The concept model addresses human activities involved in the Cycle. Putting the chaotic mix into a sieving device and shaking it, depict human planting, picking, and producing. As the result, they are being separated orderly into fine products of wine and tobacco. Inverting the device, the ordered separations would remix to the chaotic state again. This implicates human consumption of wine and tobacco and the post consumed state of the two in soil.

Volume|Form Exploration

Form: Inspired by MÜbius Str ip and Infinite Stairs, with the notion of the Cycle, a loop shape is integrated into the landscape following the height difference between the banks of river. Meanwhile, the form is also a trace to the movement of wine and tobacco growth in the Cycle – both beginning on the level of ground, reaching out across the r iver into the underground of the opposite bank and then raising back to ground level again. This also ensures a continuous dual layering of architectural experiences both inside the volume and outside on the roof plane.

Architectural Experience: Walking onto and into the bridge in a clockwise manner, the path leads to a sequence of events, from planting and harvest, through to production sequence in steps, and finally into stores of fine products, dur ing which people are encouraged to engage far m work to be rewarded by the gift of nature. The bridge becomes a vessel of the Cycle, a self-sufficient, self-contained mechanism, but under which everything is interdependent, waxing and waning.

The built up architectural exper iences of walking project back the notion to people a full realisation of the underlying Cycle of nature and human practices within the Cycle that taking from and giving back to the nature.

Irrigation: Water from the river carried by the giant waterwheel are redirected into handrail conduit on the roofscape, along which water then flows down to reser voir s on shore. With overflow outlets, when rain falls are maximum, water is automatically poured back to the river. The irrigation cycle serves as an ongoing supply to agriculture and domestic use.

Plantation: As wine grapes and tobacco plants both are shallow root, soil trenches with depths waving from 0.25m to 1.5m allow plantations of var ious types, and more impor tantly, divide the g reen roof into modules of planting boxes for crop rotation. Wine g rapes and tobacco are planted in ever y other trench. Like the idea of Hilbert’s paradox of the Grand Hotel, if all crops (including those on either side of the r iver) could constantly move to the next spot and onto the br idge in a clockwise manner in the next planting season, an infinite crop cycle engaging both side of the river would be achieved to maintain soil fertility.

Facade: Facade design is based on view. Br utalist concrete featured with thin ver tical line textures envelopes the outer periphery of space with window slits, sober outlooks to the world outside its’ frame. The inner per ipher y of space is covered by glass walls, enable juxtaposition of views across workshops, and centres attention to super posed senses of the two ser ies of sequential production.

Opera House Study|Utzon’s Original Drawing

Project Brief: The site is located behind the Mint on Hospital Road. On the occasion of the Powerhouse being relocated to Par ramatta, the project, being conceived as a built ‘window,’ or gateway from the city to that museum’s new wester n home, is a small gallery for temporary architectural exhibitions. Sur rounded by the Art Gallery of NSW, the Mint, and Hyde Park Barrack Museums, the project aims to situate a changing part of that remote collection in an urban context associated with its past.

A parallel studio investigation is required to study the Opera House, focusing on an under standing of its methodolog ical approach and connections to computational thoughts, from which a parametr ic schema can be for med, and based on which the design may begin with.

Opera House Study|Utzon’s Original Drawing 21/

Opera House Study Utzon’s original approach to the minor hall ceiling interiors seemingly involved three sets of elements: rays, tangents, and circles.

Through the study of Utzon’s drawings and related supplementary materials, the puzzled relation between these three sets of elements may decompose into four steps:

Sound Origins

Sound Rays

Tangency (in plane)

Tangency (out of plane)

Opera House Study|Analysis of Utzon’s Approach

F i r s t l y, U t z o n s e t u p points of acoustic interest at d i f ferent level s u nder the shell on stage and out of stage, originating from where sound effects were tested.

Then based on ray acoustics, the analytical tracks of sound rays were traced. Those rays were then used as tangents, together with the boundary defined by the outer shell, to guide the laying of circles.

Within the range, the circles were laid in a sequence of movement. The movement is happening simultaneously in two directions, in plane with the page and out of plane into the page.

The dissertation written by Philip Nobis, the Design Development of the Major and Minor Hall, gives away some clues on the primary geometrical principle laid behind the movement of circles.

From measurements and speculations, the geometrical principle can be concluded are follows:

A circumscr ibed circle, an inscr ibed circle, and a circle of centre trace are drawn concentrically in a ratio of 1:1.7:1.4 in radius.

Radius 1 : 1.7 : 4.4

Rays are then set up from the common centre. The angle between the rays formed a natural number sequence, in which the d i f f e re n c e i n c re a s e s by one each irritation.

Angles in Series

The points of intersection b e t we e n t h e r ay s a n d the W give the centre of circles in the movement.

The pr imary geometr ical pr inciple is evidenced being directly applied in Utzon’s approach, and meanwhile a certain degree of variation was also observed. How Ultzon might have implemented these ideas into the design of the Sydney Opera House gives a starting point of early schema of the Gallery project.

A Heterotopia Space In history, the Powerhouse museum was once part of the Mint and Hyde Park Bar rack Museums, but was kept relocating over the past century. Through several times of relocating, what has been transferred? And what has been remained?

The architectural design is a response to the conflict between c o m p a c t l iv i n g a n d m a x i m i z e d a m e n i t y, we l l p ro t e c t e d p r i va c y a n d e n c o u r a g e d c o m m u n i t y i n t e r a c t i o n . T h e architectural design of the new apartment aimed to challenge the way apartments were used to be built and in turn affects the way people used to living in an apartment.

With site analysis as the guide, the architectural scheme is a play of volumes of typical studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom and retail spaces. The overlapping ar rangement and orientation are tested to give optimized solar access.

Volumes of atr ium and L shaped balconies are taken out to enhance ventilation. The layout of L shaped balconies is carefully considered. They sit at the boundar y of each module, achieving no shared walls between modules to regulate pr ivacy. With one side preserved pr ivate, the other side of the L shaped balconies link to the communal atrium space, providing extra oppor tunities for communication within the community.

Although the architectural design g ives substantial challenges in terms of varying spatial arrangements, the structure design is found in rigours column grid system that run through the whole building.

Thus, vertical load is distr ibuted on slab and directly taken down by columns at same position on each level to the ground. Except for car park area on the basement level, where less columns and longer span is expected.

Columns must be offset on this level. All the loads stacked up from the floor s above would have to be transferred laterally to the new column location. Transfer beams are used for such purposes. Transfer beams appear as an inter nal wall, occupying the whole depth of the ground level, making it efficient against great bending moment caused by the point load transferred from the column above.

Sizing of str uctural member s including typical slab, column, transfer beam and reinforcement layout within them are determined per related clauses in AS3600 and AS1170.0 under worse scenario assumption.

Construction Consideration: Using cast in situ concrete reinforced str uctural member s and precast concrete cladding panels, the project also attempts to increase construction feasibility and prefabrication possibilities.

The subject site is located at the corner of West Street and Burlington Street within a low density residential land zoning area (R2), attached with 160 West Street under a common roof. Situated in the Holter mann Estate Conservation Area, it is identified as a contr ibutory item. Owning to this, the main challenge of this proposed development is to maximize amenities as the clients required under the existing roof scape to minimize potential impacts on the streetscape and character of the heritage conservation area.

Proposed works include: Clearly defined entrances by new front and rear fences with gates to enhance its street appearance, reinstating characteristic features; Pavements and landscaping leading from gates to doors to improve visiting experience; Enriched Level changes of the rear yard landscape using recycled brick debris to provide efficient pretection to unwanted glare during sunset while adding visual interests.

Re-organization and extension of ground floor to achieve an open planed kitchen, dining, living area; An additional first floor with step down to allow a new bad room, a bath, and storage under the existing roof scape; A series of skylights and top hinged windows to compensate the lack of solar access and cross ventilation; Retained existing facade. All new works are invisible from main street.

Being a metropolitan, I love returning to old villages, where traditions origin, where daily life simply triggers clever daily design, and where the beauty of nature and earthy lifestyle is truly awe inspiring.
