The Station Learning Hub

Year : Sem 1 2022

Location : Pomona, Noosa

We were tasked with designing a ‘Community Enterprise’ dwelling that would connect with the existing Noosa Hinterland community and site to encourage intergenerational engagement.

The Station Learning Hub focuses on enriching intergenerational connections by integrating a learning center and art workshops within the existing site.

The main design aspects of this project are the use of brick facades to promote passive design and spatial organization to encourage human-centered design and flow

Adobe x QUT Challenge

Year : Sem 2 2021

Team members: Tulika Albuquerque, Fiona-Maria Meier and Amirah Mohamad Yusof

The challenge invited us to work with a team to design and share a digital solution in which would highlight our chosen SDG (Sustainable Development Goal), utilising Adobe tools. Within our team we decided to focus on SDG #5, Gender equality and created an impactful poster using Adobe Photoshop.

Our poster is also featured on Dr Tim Kitchen’s (Adobe Senior Education Specialist) website https://lnkd.in/ejKSsa4x

QUTAS: QUT ARCHITECTURE SOCIETY

The QUT Architecture Society is a student-run community that fosters collaboration, development, and passion for architecture within design students and the wider QUT student body. Open to anyone interested,

QUTAS routinely hosts a wide variety of educational, social, and industry-based events. Aiming to make university as enjoyable as possible while also providing our members with a safe space to have fun and enjoy themselves while creating new friends and connections.

My role as President at QUTAS for 2022 comprises of managing the QUTAS executive committee of 12 executives, delegating amongst the graphics, social media, events, sponsorship, merchandise and finance team, and overseeing each teams’ activities as well as managing 18 QUTAS volunteers.

I have the responsibility and honour of recruiting QUT students and providing them with the opportunity to be a QUTAS executive or volunteer. With this responsibility, I strive to provide these opportunities to students who are POC (People Of Colour), being a POC myself, and international students.

Semester 1 of 2022 has been an amazing year for the team. We’ve received the highest memberships out of all the years QUTAS has been running and have set an academic program called Student Help Sessions which hopefully will continue in the future.

MY ROLE IN QUTAS

Held in collaboration with Bickerton Masters, DWP, LAT27 and Vokes and Peters, QUTAS hosted our popular office tours. Aimed at providing our student members with a clear behind-the-scenes insight into Brisbane’s architectural industry while also supplying them with the ability to ask questions and understand how an architectural practice works.

Tours were hosted and guided by staff members, allowing for an engaging and educational event for students. Moreover, it provided QUTAS members with a collaborative and connective experience.

QUTAS and the QUT Interior Architecture society, GR-ID were proud to organise and hold the first student run Built Environment exhibition to faculty, the design industry and the wider Brisbane community. We were grateful to be able to share an evening of networking and celebration with our fellow graduates, QUT staff and industry guests.
