UNSW Built Environment

Dr Ainslie Murray and Dr Cathy Smith Luminocity is a major annual exhibition that presents a selection of undergraduate student work from the UNSW School of the Built Environment. This year the exhibition is jointly curated by Dr Ainslie Murray and Dr Cathy Smith and is designed and developed by James Hargrave and Louise Jewiss. Luminocity 2021 is a conscious departure from conventional relationships between physical and virtual exhibitions, reflecting our commitment to innovative design through creative practice. The virtual exhibition is designed to accompany a physical installation which will be presented, post-lockdown, in the Red Centre Gallery. These mutually evocative environments are designed to create curiosity as the audience explore a series of atmospheric elemental spaces. Fields of fog, tunnels of light and pools of water subtly reference our unique harbour city whilst inviting viewers to discover the exhibition content. Playful fireflies prompt possible routes through the online show and an ambient soundtrack by Zane Trow evokes watery landscapes.

In both its physical and virtual forms, Luminocity 2021 presents a new mode of exhibition practice that not only profiles a remarkable collection of exhibited works, but also provokes creative responses to navigating space. The collection of works in Luminocity includes recent drawings, videos, models, interviews and essays made by students across seven disciplines within the School of the Built Environment. These works are assembled to convey a collective critical response to contemporary urban, social, and environmental issues and together they celebrate the immense creativity and diversity of our school. The unique voices of students, staff and alumni come to the fore as we trace individual trajectories through key experiences in our undergraduate degrees. From smallscale products to large-scale plans, the works in the exhibition collectively reveal our ambition in fostering graduates who make meaningful and impactful work that actively shapes our future environments.

Faculty of Arts, Design and Architecture

Welcome to Luminocity 2021 Luminocity is UNSW Built Environment’s annual exhibition that captures our undergraduate student work, experiences and successes. It is in this exhibition that we celebrate the outstanding achievements of students across our seven programs: Architectural Studies, City Planning, Computational Design, Construction Management and Property, Industrial Design, Interior Architecture and Landscape Architecture. We spend so much of our time in buildings and constructed landscapes – more so than ever now. This means the built environment shapes our lives, our emotions, our health and well-being, and our relationship with the natural environment. Across our undergraduate degrees we work with our students and award-winning industry professionals to explore how we can make this experience better – for both people and the planet. We explore how we can plan and design more inclusive cities and buildings, how we can keep people comfortable as our climate warms, and how we can create cities in a more efficient and sustainable way.

As you take a tour through the exhibition, and this accompanying catalogue, you will see the breadth and diversity of our students’ work, their creativity, empathy, and passion. You’ll hear from staff and students in short videos providing insight into their experiences in our degrees, and from alumni about how the industryfocussed education we offer has helped them establish their careers while also becoming agents of change in their chosen profession. I do hope you enjoy Luminocity 2021, and find ideas, experiences and designs that engage your talent and ignite your passion. I look forward to welcoming you to UNSW Built Environment in the near future.

The dwellings will be designed to fit different household types, the spaces will be flexible and can be adapted to meet personal preferences. Using architecture and structure, the users will find their everyday lives animated through different methods. Daily activities and journeys will a perceptual sequence, or planned moments designed to make architecture interact with the occupants spiritually and physically. Unconsciously, the way the occupants live is directed a little by architecture.

A cohesive design that knits the three different dwellings as one, each dwelling will be unique to their occupants, but not limited to. People behave differently and have different preference. Thus, spaces created must respect these differences, the occupants within the lot can choose to be alone or share their moments with someone else using adaptable architecture.

Nova Via Timothy Lau

Can architecture present form as a secondary vernacular to social cohesion?

Luminocity

The technocratic insurgence upon educational and social systems are gradually eroding the integrity of authentic interaction. Where anthropocentrism remains innate to social functioning, the intimacy of dialogue is gradually being forfeited to digital governance and efficiency. “Nova Via” or “A New Road” presents itself as a catalyst towards optimising social richness as a defining architectural vernacular; an attempt to break the austere delineation of space through walls, but rather the richness of anthropomorphic dialogue.

It is the induced urban porosity of the proposal which frames social cohesion as the edifice of architectural form, reversing the traditional stigma of efficiency and progress. The form of “Nova Via” is first defined by the poetic movement of society within a space, and subsequently by the axial tensions of Hay Street, Darling Drive, Macarthur Street, with the intention of the site to be the missing green link to Darling Harbour, collecting a series of increasingly pedestrianised vectors across Ultimo.

“The Canvas” seeks to facilitate the dialogue across multiple constructs and these figurative notions become manifest within the structure’s built form. The dialogue between light and shadow; the dialogue between the temporal and permanence; the dialogue be tween built form and street.

However, by establishing a solid and towering form, the blunt opaqueness of the structure would have proved to be far

too intimidating for both the occupants of the dwellings and passers by. Instead, by implementing towering battens across the face of the building, these elements create a sense of transparency without compromising the integrity of the ‘canvas’ whilst accentuating the fluidity and sculptural nature of the facade. When addressing the activity of the site, there are both permanent and temporary occupants (i.e. those living in the dwellings and those visiting the park) and hence, introduces the dialogue between temporal and permanence.

A Silver Lining Henrick Michael

Luminocity

Community Library

Focusing on the rugged regional landscape and ductile geology of Broken Hill, ‘A Silver Lining’ proposes a new community library with an architecture that is grounded in the local topography. The design investigates the structure of a library as an abstraction of geomorphology, examining the prominent shear zones and belt of attenuation or line of lode. A geological and mining focus for the library tells a story of the land, investigating the complex tectonic forces and ancient 1,800 million-year old mineral formation. Reflecting its enduring

existence, the orebody consisting of leadzinc-sulphide serves as the heart of one of Australia’s oldest mining towns and informs the steel structure and rammed earth composition of the library. With true North orientated 35° from the city cartesian grid, the library connects to the landscape by conflating both solar and cartesian orientations, mediating semiarid climactic conditions and reinforcing a sense of belonging within the civic site.

A ductile form is adapted to include the major and minor folds of the ore horizon.

The shear zone becomes a line of passage, serving as the focus point inside the library.

A double-skin approach is utilised with a warren truss and airfoil system working together.

The importance of light coming from the centre, ‘illuminates the mind of the reader.’

The centre of the library facilitates the purging of heat through a thermal chimmney.

The botanic terraces of the semi-arid garden are designed to provide he visitor with a glimpse into natural plant/animal complexes and often ephemeral plant displays.

Movement on the first floor is informed by the central location of a gallery space on either side of the main rammed earth partition. The exhibition/gallery space is intended to provide emerging Broken Hill artists with a platform to showcase their creations. Set in the middle of the library, the collection of artistic works dresses the painterly rammed earth and adds a degree of decorum.

SUBTERRANEAN LIGHTWELL

Translating the form and textures of the banding Hawkesbury sandstone cliff faces on the Waverton Peninsula and Coal Loader platform. Serving as an architectural gesture to the natural topography. Focusing on a maritime & mining language.

The textural quality of a sandstone interior with vertical striations is designed to heighten the ambience of light and shadow. The experience is also amplified through the apertures which permit a clear directional and dynamic lighting.

This plaster model explores Zumthor’s core principles through one major design element, the subterranean lightwell. Here, the temperature of the space is emphasised with the direction of natural light to form an expression of both the structure and materiality. Building on the theme of light and dark within the coal loader, the lightwell is intended to provide lighting towards subterranean spaces away from the perimeter.

Aperture Luminocity

Experimental Light Gallery

Offering an exploration into the quality of natural light through the expression of structure, hapticity and temperature of the space, ‘Aperture’ proposes an experimental light gallery situated on the coal loader platform, Waverton Peninsula. ‘Aperture’ uses a maritime and mining language with a monolithic concrete platform and meandering timber boardwalk to serve as the architectural gesture of the site’s topography and rich industrial history. Captivated by the layered ambient spaces of the Therme Vals by Peter Zumthor (1996), the gallery

design explores the relationship between the gnarled appearance of Sydney red gums and weathered Hawkesbury sandstone formations. Approaching the internal division of the design as composed of a pure mass of shadow, enabled subterranean lightwells to provide a pattern of clear directional lighting. The lightwells heighten the interplay of light and shadow through the accentuated texture of vertical sandstone striations merging light, architecture, and art in one experimental gallery space.

HERO SHOT VISITOR ACCESS VIA SYDNEY FERRY

Framing the Experimental Light Gallery in the Waverton peninsula. The experience of ferry access (precedent: MONA, Hobart, TAS) and subsequent boardwalk journey to the Coal Loader platform elicits a sense of grandeur. This sentiment is explored through the use of scale, balance, gradation and rhythm. I attempted to capture the rich industrial history of the site through the monolithic gesture the aggregated concrete platform and timber boardwalk made.

Approaching Luminocity

Coal Loader Situated at the Coal Loader, Waverton, Sydney, ‘Approaching the Sound’ is a marine research facility project comprising research laboratories and community space. The design draws as much from the beautiful landscape at Coal Loader which is the extensive view towards Sydney’s Harbor. But apart from it, the other major consideration of this project is located on how to be respectfully inserting the new design into the existing historical building in Coal Loader.

In response to these, the design proposed a building that unfolds through a progression of ramps and steps to provide the experience of approaching water. From the outside, the building looks like concrete that ‘spilled’ out of the Coal Loader into the water. From the inside, it caters to the experience of slowly being ‘submerged’ into the water. After all, the design will help us see that architecture can be a media for us to celebrate beauty of a place.

The new Metro Station represents the catalyst for transformation for the Homebush study area, serving as a natural extension of a lively and activated town centre. The proposal will support a mix-use corridor through providing a diverse range of local employment opportunities catered to smaller businesses. It will enable a catalyst for the renewal of the broader precinct through the provision of new shops, services, cafes and restaurants and a publicly accessible Plaza and public domain that is within walking distance of a mass transport mode.

The Powells Creek riparian and open space corridor has the potential to provide a high level of environmental amenity, serving as a major Green Grid link connecting to Bicentennial Park further north. The area is envisioned to provide communal meeting places, daily service and convenience retail needs, and a recreational focus for residents and visitors to share. Overall, the harmonisation of the strategic design elements will enable a compact grid with optimised walkability, efficiency, liveability, and connectivity throughout the site.

Reimagining Brookvale

Anaiis Sarkissian

Revitalising Brookvale’s industrial precinct

This project seeks to transform Brookvale from an area characterised predominantly by uninviting general industrial uses, to a vibrant metropolitan centre and mixeduse precinct. Through multiple layers of site analysis at both the regional and local context, several opportunities and constraints were identified for the precinct. Brookvale benefits from good walkability, but lacks excitement and access to open spaces. The focus for this precinct was therefore in repairing the gaps in the street network, creating special places and co-locating residents with amenity.

At the heart of this reimagined precinct is an activated east-west pedestrian plaza and urban vista, connecting the Warringah Mall retail precinct to Brookvale’s vast open spaces, waterways and coastline. The project provides for a diversity of residential types within proximity to active and public transport infrastructure, including the proposed new Metro station.

Building Brookvale Luminocity

A hypothetical metro station is proposed in the industrial backstreets of Brookvale, which will catalyze the transformation of this neighbourhood. The project brief was to create the vision for this transformation through an Urban Design Proposal detailing the intended street layout, built form and public domain structure for Brookvale. The presented proposal envisions Brookvale as a lively neighbourhood with interacting three special areas. Those being a sports and recreation precinct with Brookvale Oval as its centrepiece; a walkable north-south retail strip with a central civic plaza; and a destination restaurant and cafe laneway.

Repurposing Joshua Woo

Luminocity

The Long Bay site in Malabar currently functions as a correctional centre, dating back to 1914. The premise of the project involves the sale of the site along with the construction of a new metro station. This clean slate presented us with an exciting opportunity to design a completely new town centre from scratch. The challenge was to introduce a dense urban form that would deliver dwellings and jobs for a growing Sydney, while also preserving the rich heritage and identity of Long Bay.

The site possessed many strengths, including a rich assortment of heritage listed buildings, views towards the ocean and a close proximity to natural attractions such as Malabar beach. These strengths were taken into account and leveraged upon in the design of the precinct plan. The main design strategy employed was the repurposing of heritage buildings into public buildings which could be used by the community.

Project Risk Management and Contingency Determination Lauren Chandler

Luminocity

All construction projects possess risks stemming from a range of different sources. A project risk could be anything that has the ability to impact the key fundamentals of a project – time, cost and performance. Effective risk management requires the deliberate process of identifying, categorising, prioritizing and planning for uncertainties before they impact project delivery.

This report assesses risks, uncertainties and required contingencies for the given project scope. This is achieved by the explanation and development of risk management tools including a risk matrix, consequence table, likelihood table and escalation table.

Mycelia House Caitlin Duffus

Mushrooms within the home

Mycelia House is a functional, beautiful and simple vessel that showcases the beauty of mushrooms and supports its growth within the home. It aims to reconnect us with our innate nature – our human nature, through the display, caring for and nourishment of mushrooms as a living entity and as a food source.

Luminocity

As naturalist Erin Verinder puts it “we are waking up from a long slumber of disconnectedness. Remembering that we are made up of the same materials as nature. There is simply no separation”. As we have evolved to live in urban areas and are currently experiencing the Covid-19 pandemic, we are noticing this disconnection and are craving a deeper relationship with ourselves, the

natural world and our daily routine. We are seeking products that we can connect and emotionally relate with. With trends arising in the localization of food production and DIY alternatives, as well as a love for houseplants, the concept for mycelia houses was manifested. Whilst mushroom grow kits are currently sold to a DIY market of hipsters, an opportunity surfaced to design for a new market of higher income earners who are interested in wellness and are willing to invest in sustainable alternatives. These are creatives who have a love for nature and being outdoors, although they live and work in urban areas and struggle to find time in nature due to their busy lifestyle.

Expanse Robotic Furniture for the Office

Luminocity

‘Expanse’ forms parts of a new typology of furniture known as ‘Robotic furniture’. By adding actuation to furniture, objects are able to solve contradicting needs in a subtle and convenient way.

‘Expanse’ allows users to choose when they want to work collaboratively or privately. When open, ‘Expanse’ provides visual and sound privacy for users. In addition, ‘Expanse’ is controlled by a timer which allows employees to blockout set periods of time to complete their focused work. This gives comfort to other employees that their teammates will be available soon and creates a culture of respect for individual privacy needs.

LUMU Microalgae in our daily life As humans spend most of their time indoors, we breathe in more harmful pollutants than we do outside as enclosed space traps pollutants inside. Thus, air circulation and ventilation are needed to combat indoor air pollutants. However, current purifiers are highly unsustainable and their filters need to be replaced every 6-8 months. Although perceived negatively, microalgae possess a lot of values that could combat air

pollution and climate change. In fact, 1L of microalgae is as effective as 25 plants. Additionally, microalgae allow humans to reconnect again with nature in this advanced digital age. However, society’s negative perceptions of microalgae have hindered them from utilizing their values and rather would remove them from their lives. Thus, LUMU aims to change users’ perspectives about microalgae while negating indoor air pollution.

Libation is an heirloom artifact that inspires an emotional connection with its user through nostalgic aesthetic, design narrative and product purpose. Libation’s inbuilt hand-woven tea-cosy means the

teapot’s body can be held, creating an intimate tactile experience. Without a handle, the action of pouring tea has become gestural – the user now bows towards the person they are pouring for. Libation facilitates shared experiences that create memories by encouraging users to pick a favourite cup to share tea. Intimate and pleasurable social interactions are how Libation becomes intimately connected to a user’s life. These experiences install trust, connecting user and product through regular use and ritual.

Lever Weeder Sabrina Piro

A specialised bush regeneration design solution for the manual removal of crowning grasses

The Lever Weeder is a specialised weed management solution for the manual removal of crowning grasses. Designed to be used by Bush Regenerators, this solution meets specialised needs for targeted application and robust functionality, of which are lacking in currently-used broad-spectrum equipment and domestic weeders designed for other industries.

Luminocity

Bush Regeneration is an essential but widely overlooked industry. Generally under-funded, and widely facilitated by volunteers, Bush Regenerators are lacking in specialised tools and often rely on tools designed for other industries and makeshift solutions that are time-consuming and require exhaustive effort and skill to achieve desired results. An opportunity of many, the brief directly responds to the management of crowning grasses.

Traditional removal of these weeds requires prolonged crouching and bentover positions. The nature of removal not only causes strain on the back and knees but also an immense strain on the hands when dealing with larger weeds. The Lever Weeder is a simple leveragebased solution that delivers management of crowning grasses at a reduced strain on the body, minimised disturbance of surrounding land, and has eliminated herbicides required for its use. Thereby, the product facilitates use by a wide variety of individuals, including the vast number of landholders and volunteers who do not possess herbicide certifications.

The writings of Salah support, “...not only that deconstruction and adaptability ultimately lessen the world’s depleting energy and natural material resources, they also contribute to preserving the cultural and historical values inherent in different materials and buildings.”This methodology ensures a consistent application of form following its existing appearance,,meanwhile proposes a new model between order and chaos.

useum at Power Station Kaitlin Gordon

In partnership with European research company ‘Ma-tt-er’, White Bay Power Station (WBPS) was proposed to be adapted into their first flagship laboratory, interactive museum and education space within Australia.

Drawing on the innate healing system of the body, each of the existing power station’s coal processing phases have been adapted in order to transform White Bay Power Station into a cyclic, co‑dependent and resilient ‘machine’.

Operating as a community resource recovery facility, the museum’s functions target the 344kg of waste generated yearly per person within the Inner West community, working to heal the prevalent and pertinent environmental damage from its industrial past.

As opposed to its former environmental depletion, the reformed power station aims to return the community to a homeostatic-like state; restoring the environmental damage of the past, mitigating the post-industralised consumption and manufacture of today and empowering the community through awareness in order to achieve the 2025 Zero Waste targets of the Inner West Council.

Continuum 110

The landscape narrative ‘Continuum’ is the third chapter in the diverse cultural history of Saleyards Creek and its surrounds in Homebush, Sydney. Through a hierarchy of diverse programs straying out from the creek and referencing the interesting history of the site a new post-industrial landscape emerges as a social keystone of the area, reconnecting Homebush to its waterways and the

industrial past. These spaces have been designed within a successional framework where the ecology and culture grow in unison. This idea connects the landscape concepts of ecological succession (process driven) and landscape narratives (story driven) through three key stages: introduction, development and equilibrium.

Tides Play Poetry as an Ecological Process This project reimagines Powell’s Creek and Mason Park through an exploration of play and three tides of Powell’s Tide: the Sea Tide flowing through Powell’s Creek, the Ecological Tide, which refers to the ecological dwellers and how they adapt to the landscape, and the Social Tide, human circulation and interaction within the landscape.

Under three principles of preservation, rehabilitation, and reactivation, the poetry of play provides an intriguing journey through the saltmarsh wetland along biomimicry-designed boardwalks. Visitors are encouraged to explore different play types that mimic the appearance or behaviour of ecological communities, and thus regenerating empathy with local inhabitants.

Nature’s Ranine Hamed

The position of non-human organisms in the human dominated landscape

No matter how big or small, every organism plays a role in assuring the function of the biosphere. Nature’s Protest challenges the position of non-human organisms within the human-dominated landscape. It captures the notion of biocentrism – the perception that humans are a part of the biosphere, rather than superior to it – through the transformation of Mason’s Park and Wetland into a Mayfly habitat, that promotes protest through nature’s spatial takeover.

Luminocity

To reinstate the human position in the biosphere, humans are subtly forced to be participants via a choreographed path that encompasses the different stages and experiences of the Mayfly’s life cycle.
