Achoi thesis proposal and folio s by Alice

2015 SEMESTER 2, Independent Design Thesis Proposal

I have this curiosity of existence, being and questions of where all things are come from, the truth or explanations called ontology. I am sure it is not only me who had and have this curiosity. I am dying to find out what it is. It even makes me cry and at the same time amazingly delightful. But most of all, It made me land on the world of architecture, after music, literature, psychology, fine arts, and philosophy. Architecture to me seems like a gate to the existence, and to the truth. And it is a thread of understanding how a thing is becoming its own quality. Through out this design thesis. I would like to research this matter further by pulling the thread of truth in architectural design which includes time, space, place, being, repetition, tectonic, narrative and the truth. Predicted major process would be 1.analysing philosophical theories, then 2.develop them into own design language for architecture. However, the outcome will be decided depends on the final theme I will find after midsemester under the supervisor, Greg Missingham. #keywords Philosophy, Deleuze and Guattari, ‘What is philosophy?’, ‘Difference and Repetitions’, ‘A thousand of plateau’, ‘negotiation’, Architecture, Louis Kahn, Peter Zumthor, John Hejduk, repetition, tectonic, narrative. Samuel Beckett, Richard Serra, Anish Kapoor, John Cage, Miles Davis, Ludwig van Beethoven, sound art, fine art, music, minimalism, truth, being, becoming.

Dialectic Monuments

Alice Choi

The Dialectic Monument is for the future, not for the past. It brings forgotten histories and lost connections back to life. Its purpose is for the future of us all. A future which is based on the true past and not on selective histories manipulated by a privileged few. Understanding our past is vital to our identity and ideas. By recovering the lost contours, it adapts forgotten people’s spirit, culture and history into design methodology, the site is ready to move forward. It is ready to move forward to build our true future for us all. The project developed by following questions and keywords. What is Monument? Why Monumentality? What is History? What has been forgotten or disconnected in History? How can we design Dialectic Monument to recover forgotten history, To reconnect lost history for true Future?

Alice Youjeong Choi / 563634 MSD Studio e: Architecture as Memory

The first part of the design involves the new contour shaped structure. It cuts through the existing heritage listed 1888 Building which results in an elevated section of the building. This is a record of the past, when the building was built and when it ‘cut’ through the land and ignored the original owners and their culture. It has been reinterpreted in a dialectic way and recorded to make history. The second part of the design involves the adding of a new main entrance to the Campus from Swanston street by removing the John Smyth Building and replacing it with a circular outdoor ramp. It is both an entrance as well as a change to rejuvenate and enjoy the contours of the site. This Quiet Gate between 757 Swanston and Sidney Myer Asia Centre is a humble gesture of acknowledging the Aboriginal people who lived before there was a University of Melbourne. Understanding how they represented their culture and life through symbolism and art instead of architecture, this project will make our future become more dialectic and intensive. This intensity becomes the monument. The final part of the design is a response to the Student Unions’ demands. The 757 Swanston building is renovated to facilitate many of the students services and to create a new ground plane (rooftop) in the precinct. It connects the elevated 1888 Building and 757 Swanston to provide better access. This place makes people understand the site and question the history of the University of Melbourne and Australia. The Dialectic Monument is designed to accommodate the University’s future demands and understanding our past and present. Finally these intense dialectic histories will become a future monument for all.
