Hi there! I’m Alex, an energetic recent Master of Architecture Graduate seeking to innovate. and change. With full 18-months professional demonstrated experience at a celebrated Australian practice thus far, the skills and knowledge gained from both work and study have allowed me to enhance my contributions to architecture and strengthen skillsets as such.

At the end of the day, people are our focus. From all walks of life, I believe the role of the architect is to utilise their skills to foster an inclusive architectural response to lifestyle and social problems, with strong considerations to local cultural customs and site; through this, only a difference is made and the work is actually worth it.

02_ FINDING HOME WITH THE TOHOKU MANOR Master of Architecture Graduation Project 2021. A creative envisaging of a moving manor as a response to the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake/Tsunami Disaster to assist in rebuilding memories and cultural moments.

03_ THE ALICE IN WITHERLAND PARK A radical proposition to architecturally reinterpreting the park as a facilitator between human and non-human species within an urban, postCOVID-19 setting.

04_BANGKOK YAI 2030 An Australian Architectural / Thai Cultural approach to help combat climate-change and monsoonal flood seasons through the design of a public civic centre/emergency flood shelter within the outskirts of metropolitan Bangkok, Thailand.

THE THINKING HAND

PERSONAL PASSION | INTEREST IN HAND-DRAWING.

As well as having skillsets of usual architectural practice (documentation in AutoCAD/Revit, graphics communication in Photoshop etc), I also love to hand-draw to remind myself that real architecture comes from the mind/heart and that a holistic scheme considers everyone, but ultimately people. Drawing is a perfect answer to this. As Le Corbusier once said, “I prefer drawing to talking. Drawing is faster, and leaves less room for lies”. Indeed, said quote is true, however drawing also serves as a universal language that connects all.Sketching and conceptualisation is a fundamental skill in the practice of architecture and I enjoy draw-ing in spare time. Shown to the right is a selection of recent works, both personal and academic.

In addition to sketching, I also love to explore different

Project Overview

Responsibilities

This project investigated the rebuilding of identities and moments from the events of the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami that occurred in the Tohoku region.

+ Equal Project Lead + Task Delegation and Deadline Management + Drawing Work (by hand) + Design Development + Responsible for planning, development and production of all architectural drawings and diagrams

The culminating architectural response imagines an animated and dynamic dwelling that traverses the coasts and inlands of the Japanese landscape to assist the collectively-displaced in order for them to physically, spatially, culturally and emotionally rebuild and rekindle their lost “webs” of spatial memories and qualities that uniquely define them. The re-forging of the moments within this unique dwelling is something truly special. This culminates in the physical form of a highly unique residence, that is both temporal and permanent, strongly inspired by Japanese cultural living, social customs, and the stories from Hayao Miyazaki’s acclaimed picture Howl’s Moving Castle (2004).

The ambition of the project chronicles the moments of the moving manor as it moves across disaster-ravaged areas of Japan, picking up and dropping off residents. This emphasised the cultural moments that shaped the architecture both spatially, physically and emotionally. Architecture becomes the facilitator in helping those forcibly displaced by the disaster by rekindling these familiar moments, and ultimately, finding home.

BANGKOK YAI 2030 Im Amphon Village 1, Bangkok Yai Khet, Thailand. 2020

Grade: 90.5 (High Distinction / HD)

Project Overview

Responsibilities

Delivered in groups of 2-3 members, this semester’s studio explored the design of a public shelter that was climaticallyresponsive to a choice of three project sites in South-East Asia; Bangkok (the chosen one for this project), Jakarta, or Singapore.

+ Group Leader + Group Management, Task Delegation and Deadline Management + Initial Site RND Work, Site Analysis and 3D Site Modelling + Design Development + Responsible for planning, development and production of all architectural drawings and diagrams + Assist in preparation for 3D Rendering Visualisation

Our project investigates the flooding issues centralised around a semi worst-case-scenario approach, where periodic flood seasons has plagued Thai climates within a semi-rural / suburban setting. As such, our project, located in the innercity suburb of Im Amphon Village, focuses on the cultural implications associated with a flexible shelter that serves as a civic centre during non-flood periods, but ultimately converts to an emergency shelter during flood emergencies.

THE ALICE IN WITHERLAND PARK 23 Anniversary Street + Sir Joseph Banks Park Botany, NSW 2019

Grade: 90 (High Distinction / HD)

Project Overview

Responsibilities

Delivered in a group of 2, this project investigated the artistic and playful reinterpretation of the Sir Joseph Banks Hotel in the form of a local landscaped and architectural sanctuary, which allowed for both the interaction between human and other-than-human multispecies through various moments within its design, woven within the former Sir Joseph Banks Hotel Building and surrounding parklands. The main ethos critically analysed what Sydney would feel like post-human existence, especially within the context of a post COVID-19 world. Hopeful stories and cooperation between humans and treasured animal and non-human species are explored through a series of design interventions to the building and parkland, such as decompositional fragments to faciliate accelerated growth; these themes accentuated a human/nonhuman species cooperation, for which this project strives for.

INCREASE PUBLIC SPACE The public space is larger with better connection with the public domain interface along Solent Circuit. This built form geometry provides a sense of enclosure to the Plaza and improves visibility of the ground floor retail frontage from the street. The two buildings, with their respective curved triangular geometry, sit suitably together on the site as a ‘pair’.

ACTIVATION AND AMENITY The concept’s curved triangular geometry & massing creates a number of gathering spaces across the site. We have created a hard-paved public space at the lower level fronting Solent Circuit that engages with the street. The upper level will have a landscaped lawn with good access to daylight and large canopy trees for shade. Between the buildings will be a laneway that links the Plaza with Inglewood Place. This laneway provides an active, pedestrian friendly forecourt to each building.

CONCEPT MASSING (AVERAGED SETBACK) The northern façade of Building A has been angled to open-up and increase size of the public space to Solent Circuit. This also creates a stronger visual presence to both Bldg B & the through-site link improving way-finding through the site. The building volume displaced by this move is relocated toward Solent Circuit between the 20m-10m setback. This is effectively an averaging of the Solent Circuit setback.
