Hi, my name is Amy. This portfolio features works that showcase my skillset as an architecture graduate. I have just completed my Masters of

CONTENTS

Architecture & Urban Design, where I received a 100% Dean’s Inaugural Scholarship for the duration of my studies. This was awarded to me based on merit. I have enhanced schematic & concept design skills, & hold a large 3D visualisation skillset.

I have wanted to be an architect since the age of twelve. This desire over the past 15 years has driven me to build on my understanding of what architecture is, from designing forms to meet functions to an overarching understanding of the

MASTERS Swinburne University of Technology

interpersonal systemic nature of our built environment, our society’s cultural make-up & our cities’ material fabrics at a personal, collective & societal level.

I have 2+ years of professional experience within the construction industry at a multi-disciplinary firm. I have a proven eye for detail in documentation from design brief through to construction I was promoted to senior structural draftsperson & precast documentation supervisor within 6 months of starting work.

Through employment, I have experience in running & overseeing drafting projects from start to finish. I work effectively in a team, both as a leader & as a team member. And, I have experience working on a wide range of projects, with a variety

BACHELORS University of Canberra

of professionals, in practice & learning, which has offered me versatility in thinking.

As a designer, I aim to create works that understand the user’s needs, challenge assumptions, redefine problems & create innovative design outcomes. I am passionate about adaptive, inclusive spaces & multisensory, multi-disciplinary design. I have avid organisational & time management skills. I can communicate confidently & effectively with people from diverse backgrounds & at all levels. As I am towards the start of my career, I’d love to find myself working on a myriad of projects, from interior design to urbanism & everything in between.

This unit saw me endeavour to consider how we can create more inclusive design through interactive memory in order to alleviate the exclusionary design that exists in urban contexts such as Market Square Geelong. My thesis topic

STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS Exploded Axonometric Softwares used | Revit public syntax facade

was centred around how multi-sensory design agents can be used in order to provoke memory & therefore identity for all selves. My thesis aimed to re-establish Market Square as a democratic space for all & looked into the realm of spatial syntax & how this can be used to create degrees of

publicness & permanency across the site. Finally, it aimed to investigate how user’s interactions with these spaces can stimulate sensory memories, diverse encounters & participation within market square. existing solomon building landmarks

My thesis acknowledges that time changes how space is encountered & how different moments in time can capture different memories, due to symbiotic relationship between people, space, time & sensory agents. DESIGN APPROACH Abstracted Individual Design Thinking

LiveAble Housing is something that should be a choice to not only those who meet the requirements but to anyone who wants to lead a liveable lifestyle within a 20-minute neighbourhood & 40-minute city. A lifestyle that is for the long-term, & is accessible, inclusive, & sustainable with a wide diversity of people, places, & amenities - all within walking distance. Thus, our goal is to have every 1 in 3 dwellings be some sort of LiveAble Housing.

This project was completed in conjunction with our group’s IBA Melbourne ‘Future Homes’ Student Competition entry in which we received a commendation. There was also a focus on the statutory & strategic planning side of how our project could come to fruition as our Design Research Studio unit was completed in collaboration with Paris, Arsen & my Planning Law, Strategic & Statutory Planning unit.

Building Typologies

Hybrid Typologies

Social Housing / Small Scale Amenities

Little Bookstore + Little Kitchen

As a direct response to the brief, we have sought to challenge the notion of reducing the stigma surrounding affordable [social] housing through a design that seeks to foster community & serendipitous social interactions between residents at every level. To achieve this, our apartment sizes are configured more spaciously than the minimum standards for apartment design ask for.

Market Place

My team took a very collaborative approach to this unit & our LiveAble Places proposal as we believe this created the best outcomes. It also meant that all of us had some kind of input into every element of our project from LiveAble Urbanity & LiveAble Environments, to LiveAble Movements & LiveAble Housing.

DIFFERENTIATING BLANK PAGES a manifesto of city’s adaptability BA-ARCH | Sem 2 2016 | Architecture History + Theory 3 Scope: Intangible + Conceptual

This is an excerpt from the piece of assessment of which I am probably most proud. It was my final assignment in my undergraduate third-year core History class. We were tasked with creating a manifesto in whatever form we wished as long as it had a maximum of 1000 words & fitted into the dimensions of an A5 page.

I chose to create a book with 15 ‘white pages’. These pages were made from different materials, had different thicknesses & textures.

My only regret when it came to this assignment was not making a duplicate as this assessment was to be submitted in hardcopy & the lecturer retained the assessment for future classes, meaning that I was unable to get it back.

Differentiating Blank Pages | BA-ARCH_Architecture History + Theory 3

The city as a human entity is constituted of its The purpose of a city is to act as a machine, reflecting the needs of its citizens, in order to create a liveable society. A city can only survive if it has constant change; a change that remains parallel & in sync with its inhabitants (Freiden, J., 1969). It is intangible to define in word’s what makes a city, city. Theories, like definitions, are centred on metaphysical speculation & ideological situations. These theories are dependent upon the characteristics under investigation of the urban phenomena; in this case a specific city in a specific moment, from a singular position. When, in actuality, there are too many ideological points of view & contexts to encounter, along with too many speculations to perpetrate, for a general theory to materialise itself & become law (Harvey, D., 1973). To add to this the definition of city is closely linked to its qualities, what makes a city unique, & thus these qualities help to analyse & define the city (Rossi, 1982).

architecture & all those works that compose the true meaning of transforming nature (Rossi, 1982). Adaptability is constant, & although to one individual, there may be no changes to each other page in this booklet, to another, a person who takes the time to flip through each page & see as the texture, the materiality, the rigidity of the paper’s coherence & the essence of the city changes, the experience is entirely different. The varying pages in this booklet reflect the intangible variety of cultural, social & historical contexts that are part of a city’s identity (Freiden, J., 1969). And as each individual flips through this book, they put their own mark on the city, seen here as the indent in the pages. So please go ahead, flip through the pages & take time to see as they change & your experience adapts, & leave your mark, your indentation on the city for the next person to visualise; as city is constantly changing & adapting to the change in its inhabitants.

Therefore, this booklet has no words, & therefore no rules, as this would be unrealistic & ideological. This book however, reflects the city’s identity in it continual white pages, as this defines what gives this city its quality & thus, identity, differentiating it from another.

BA-ARCH | Sem 2 2016 | Design Studio 3.2 Scope: Masterplanning, Architecture, Conservation

Brief | The design brief was to reinstate the importance of Canberra’s Civic Pool as a public cultural asset. The 1955 AIA Sulman Award-winning Civic Olympic Pool had to be the inspiration & focal point of this design. The proposed site is situated in the civic centre of Canberra. This location within the city can be seen as a natural link from the built-up metropolis to the breathable Commonwealth Park.

Progressing from linear to planar, I was able to abstract the concept of the non-orthogonal Diving Tower’s geometry into long linear orthogonal planes.

My resolved design for Civic Pool & Hub Continuum was able to encapsulate my original design concept, encompass the whole site & establish public space. The design comprises intimate meeting courtyards, intermediate gallery space, & open recreational areas. It bridges Canberra’s urban jungle & its most significant breathable park. The composition brings rigour & introduces an orthogonal clarity into a non-orthogonal city, whilst still encompassing the hero statement of the site: the Diving Tower’s nonorthogonal form.

The Heavy-weight dwelling structure is made of a precast concrete insulated slab with walls mainly consisting of double-glazed glass curtain walls.

The main wall & structural element is the feature retaining wall running the whole length of the structure. The wall is made up of two stone wall faces held together with mortar, & a concrete backing with an air space at the centre to allow for ventilation. This wall helps support most of the weight of the roof.

The roof consists of concrete, structural membrane with rigid insulation, asphalt & roofing felt.

The Light-weight observatory is based upon the combination of the motif for thin pole membranes in the Regent’s Place Pavilion in London, & my first exploration’s thin forest-like vertical timber pillars.

These pillars make up the vertical component of the structure & are fixed to a concrete footing.

The structure’s external pillars are slightly offset from the flooring in order to give the illusion of floating flooring. This is achieved through the use of an L-connection plate that is fixed to the pillars & then bolted into the timber flooring structure.

WATER GALLERY interstitial space

BA-ARCH | Sem 2 2014 | Design Studio 1.2 Scope: Architecture, Abstract [space within a space] !

Brief | The purpose of the Water Gallery project was to explore light as the essence of architectural space. Shifts of light within a space can enable an understanding of the ‘section’ of space through the play of voids & negative space, spatial volume & adjunct, added & subtracted space.

This project explores the spatial quality through an understanding of interstitial light & the articulation of ‘a space within a space’. Location | National Gallery of Australia, Canberra Note: Throughout this project, I had a broken hand, so I consider that my sketching, drafting & modelling was pretty impressive under the circumstances!

The focus of this design was to develop & refine a ‘spatial language’ D

across three explorations. Drawing from these explorations the aim was to articulate my language into a Water Gallery design. This gallery would be inserted alongside the small amenities hub at the rear of

Exploration One explored light as the essence of architectural space. This could be seen as the site analysis stage of the design. From walking around the National Gallery of Australia I sketched ways in which to use the design language of the Gallery in order to inform my own design. Through these sketches, I was able to Analytical Sketches Scale : Not to Scale

find the way in which light can define the spatial quality of an architectural space & sequence of spaces.

! Exploration Two continues to explore light as the

essence of architectural space. Shifts of light enable an understanding of the ‘section’ of a space through the play of voids & negative space, spatial volume, adjunct, added & subtracted space. In order to do this, I used lines & planes to create forms that carved, encapsulated Plan Scale 1:250

through an understanding of interstitial light & the articulation of ‘a space within a space’.

Diagrammatic Key Scale 1:200 Water Gallery | BA-ARCH_Design Studio 1.2

As part of Explorations 2 & 3, we were asked to create a composition that established voids & interstitial spaces, through cutting planes. This composition had no one set axis to rest but was more of an ever-changing composition of light, space & movement. Every space connected to another space yet every space was different. And, the feeling that each space evoked was dependent on the overall composition’s resting axis.

Pages 58 - 59 | Amy Rodda MA-ARCUD

The final composition was a manifesto of all three explorations. This composition began around the concept of slice & cutting planar spatial elements, to create voids & interstitial spaces.

This means that the spaces within the composition can be moved through & around, behind & above, & even

The interconnecting planes carve out light & shadow through the use of sectional composition within the space, creating elements of rhythm & balance in

These interstitial spaces mean that one can move through the composition fluidly, making the composition

TWO MATERIAL CONNECTION SYSTEM Bar Stool Softwares used | Rhino

This unit allowed me to gain proficiency with explorative & iterative design processes through advanced physical & digital prototyping techniques. It allowed me to work through aspects of coding, computational modelling & fabrication - namely computer software programs Rhino, & RoboDK; software scripting programs such as Grasshopper & Python; & plugins such as Karamba, Ladybug & Wasp.

The first half of this unit saw me deconstruct how objects in my house connection systems worked & reconstruct them in rhino. It also saw me create a solar radiation responsive façade & a bridge that structural solution that has minimum displacement & maximum utilisation of 90%. The second half of this unit saw me create a robotic dance & program a robot to follow a line drawing. After understanding how to program a robot, I teamed up with Alyssa Berona to develop a single element brick design that could be stacked in different compositions in order to
