functions in 4 parts; a meteorological research and analysis centre, an ionosphere heater, an ion generator and a laser pulse canon. System Z1 uses electric forces exerted on and between particles of the atmospheric air such as water molecules and molecular clusters consisting of their own electric dipole. The combination of these systems will create an ideal city free from the 2 main Victorian problems; floods and droughts. This will create economic growth and enhance the quality of life in Melbourne.

Weather modification refers to altering atmospheric conditions by the means of enhancing electric forces exerted on and between particles of air such as water molecules, aerosols, molecular clusters consisting of their own electric dipole moment. Particular applications of Weather control require specific methods and devices for their implementations for example, relate to controlling, increasing or decreasing the amount of precipitation. The term precipitation� means any product of the phase change of atmospheric water vapor that, due to gravitational forces, is deposited onto the surface of the earth, and such a product may be presented in any form, such as, rain, drizzle and snow.

To dwell, also means to become friends with a place. Man identifies himself to space and place with a sense of connection attached to it. A house may not always be ones selected place of living but when he makes a place home, that’s his own small world. Built forms are temporary, but the act of dwelling is permanent. While a timber shed could be debatable of its permanence, its durability on thought and memory, narrates longevity. The envelope is the architecture. Inside is a sensitive container for the rhythm of footsteps, concentration of work and the silence of sleep. The human experience invoke memories; strengthen over time, by material, light, texture, sound and people. Intimate memories are often derived from an experience, that become ingrained in memory and thought. The feeling of protection a house provides through the sequence of depth through spatial rooms is an ingrained memory.

Memory is a living space. The dreamed, imagined, remembered space that allows us to come closer to the core of our mental experience within a house.

What defines home for someone who only seldom spends time at home? The final design focuses on absorbing different views associated with different functions of spaces. The SIGHT of framed views penetrate through the mind, the thermal comfort feels good through the SKIN, the SMELL of the green landscape and salted ocean triggers memories from the past. The moving spatial situation triggers emotions such as warmth, lightness, spaciousness and a layer of protection that a house provides. These emotions stay in your memory.

GLENN MURCUTT STUDIO Regional Architecture 2013
The waterway on the Cudgegong River when Kandos weir was built for Kandos cement works in the late 1920s, Dunns swamp, or Ganguddy to the Wiradjuri Aboriginal people is the site.

A reed bed system; a network, lined with an impervious membrane which is packed with gravel and planted with macrophytes used to treat wastewater is used for this site. The waste water passes the root area of the reeds where it undertakes treatment. Below the gravel surface, inlet and outlet pipes are placed so that the water remains below the gravel surface constantly, hence eliminating exposure to the wastewater, mosquito breeding and spiteful odours.
The spaces have been planned through the idea of strategically locating the building where it will not intrude the public realm of the site, and allowing uncompromising views to both the trekkers,visitors and the dwellers. The 8 modular units are located along the water line with view corridors in between each other. A more subtle view can also be experienced through each unit.
21
Every dweller gets an uninterrupted view of the water and landscape from his bed with the change of level within each unit. The main living and dining spaces have been anchored in between the pagoda rock formations and the water bed allows a maximum experience for dwellers of the site.

Wandering is the contrast in behavior
The Accelerated Wanderer Conceptual Architecture 2014
to the state of resting or staying. The process of wandering happens through the journey, searching and exploring which results in finding a place. If wandering can be defined as being in a state of unsettled movement, then, wandering gives the potential answer to the value of settlement and the resolution of dwelling. Wandering acts as a learning process that allows people to expand their sense of place by entering into the unknown. Wandering is not an aimless
Brief: Is it possible that we have been taking dwelling and building as two separate activities?

It was 8am in the morning, Melbourne’s rush hour. Alice got off at Flinders station and was headed to Uni. she got onto the high-speed travelator to get to Victoria Markets tram stop as fast as she could. It’s less than a 10 minute journey. The Accelerated Travelator moves at 3.3 metres per second. This allows us to remove tram services in Elizabeth street up till Vic markets when you could walk from Flinders station to Victoria markets in just 6 minutes. Alice only takes 2 minutes to cross to blocks in the city- from Flinders station to the Bourke Street. As Alice walked past the glass tunnel on her left, she briefly glimpsed into it on her way to picking up a cup of latte from the hidden cafe under the Bourke and Elizabeth Street intersection. She quickly carried on my journey to the University for her morning lecture after. She was heading back to the city after class to meet a friend for lunch at Degraves Street. On the way there, her friend texted that she was running 30 minutes late. At this time, Alice was reaching Bourke Street, so she decided to get off the travelator and head up to H&M to kill some time while waiting. As she slowly walked up the grand steps, she observed the old GPO architecture in a new perspective. From a distance, she noticed a dark doorway which sparked her interest. She wondered where that doorway leads to, and since she had some spare time, she decided to explore. Alice went in and found herself inside the glass tunnel that she glimpsed this morning. Heading right would bring her to spencer street station, but instead turned left towards little Collins which led her to another tunnel. Walking through it, Alice noticed multiple intersecting pathways at different levels leading to different exits. She continued on her journey to meet her friend, deciding to explore the other spaces another day. Alice finally came out through the pigeon hole seats overlooking the creek. That came as a pleasant surprise as she never realised the pigeon holes concealed secret passageways behind them. Walking past more pigeon hole seats, Alice walked along the creek towards little Collins and crossed the sunken bridge. There she came across an intersection and decided to take the ramp down. The Ramp took Alice through a mysterious underground space. She didn’t know where it was leading to but she was running out of time, so she took the stairs up instead. And arrived at the Elizabeth street colonnade. She noticed that the steel arches were leading towards the block arcade. She followed the arches, up the stairs, into the block arcade, noticing the old ruins of the building. It had similar arches as the underground space she chanced upon earlier. Finally, Alice came out at Collins Street, crossed over to Degraves Street and met her friend for lunch.

Tower Design Construction Studio 2014
The building envelope plays an important role in influencing the overall structure of the tower design. Inspired by Norman Foster’s 30 St Mary Axe’s facade design, the building envelope comprises of a double facade design incorporating a similar diagrid structural system on the exterior and double glazed facade on the interior to the Gherkin precedent. This project challenges Melbourne’s existing construction typology, with

to the twisting form of the tower. The pattern of the structural grid by the tapering form of the tower. The double skin structure of the facade allows the building envelop to be wrapped entirely with glass maximizing sun exposure. The diagrid exoskeleton also benefits the wind resistance as wind forces are not entirely dependent on the core of the building. Furthermore, it allows for a free floor plan providing for adaptable internal space.
31
DESIGN INTENT The floor plate rotates 90 Degrees from Ground Floor Level to Roof Level. The resulting tapered edged at each side of the tower provides a slender shape in relation to its urban context. Tapered edge building entrance overlooks junction of Bourke Street and William Street so as to minimize the intimidation of visitors as they entered the premise. The primary and secondary entrances are directly adjacent to Low-rise active Lift Groups and High-rise active lift groups.
The external facade glazing is integrated within a diagrid structure. The scheme is designed forming a diamond shaped glazing, integrated within the structural diagrid. The internal facade is a rectangular floor-to-ceiling glazing, aligned to the perimeter of the floor plate. It is a double glazed system while the external glazing is of a single glazed system. While the overall external facade is sealed, the internal facade has openings at specific locations to provide access to glazing maintenance and opens for air circulation.

AUSTRALIAN TIMBER DESIGN WORKSHOP University of Tasmania 2013
The University of Tasmania, School of Architecture and design continues a long tradition in excellence in timber design in learning-by-making with the 2013 Australian timber design workshop (ATDW 2013). Workshop participants had to design, fabricate, construct and install a small timber building from a controlled timber-rich palette in eleven days.
Brief: The ST Finn Barrs school community is in need of a building that can provide storage for its food garden and to provide an outdoor teaching space fort the food garden and subjects that may use an open outdoor teaching environment. Site: ST Finn Barrs school Launceston, Tasmania Tools Used: Hand Drawings AutoCAD Photoshop Hand Made Models Laser Cut Models CNC Models
The building was for a local school. In the beginning stages, 5 teams of 8 people were working on various design proposals, and presentation to the clients. However, the teams were later split into specific groups. I was in the group that designed the roof, using parametric tools such as grasshopper. We did roof proposals every day to fit the design of the shed done by the other teams. Initially I used the laser cutting machine to do quick mock up models of the roof, and then used the CNC router for the final.

Task: Model the Villa Mairea House by
Villa Mairea Project Artist SOHO 2012
Alvar Aalto built in 1939 & analyse it. Villa Mairea: A ‘Ridge Structure’ is founded upon the diverse relations along and across the main ridge of the site. Levelling the land along and across the inclined ridge establishes the primary platform for the inhabitation of the site. The spatial enclosure supports intimate and focused gathering and provides varied opportunities for retreat from the other spaces in a sequence.
Brief: Design a Artist SOHO inspired by Villa Mairea Site: Sydney Tools Used: AutoCAD Revit InDesign Photoshop Hand Made Models
The column and beam system articulates spatial layers of varying degrees of withdrawal from the courtyard. Based on Aalto’s precedent, the idea of ‘Meeting at the Ridge’ has been blurred between the interior and exterior spaces. Aalto designed the porch, an exterior space with an interior quality and the garden room, An interior space with exterior quality; this would be evident in the Artist Soho Building.

Study of the various windows from the Villa Mairea facade which provide different angles of views from each opening. < An exterior space with Interior qualities; Each window has a view of the forest and a varying relationship to the exterior.

Based on Villa Mairea as an Inspiration, I used the windows that potray an extrerior quality to start the development of my residential and gallery space. Using the miniature forms, I expanded to create larger interior spaces, assembling a series of windows in a circular manner, forcing all the spaces to meet at a common point. Similar to Aalto’s idea of ‘Meeting at the Ridge’ in the Villa Mairea House, he blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. He designed the porch, an exterior space with an interior quality and the garden room, An interior space with exterior quality.
