INDIGENOUS HOUSING Ye a r :
2020 Ty p e : Masters Thesis Client: Conceptual L o c a t i o n : Wundowie, WA
Philosophy This thesis investigates and develop a hybrid housing typology tailor-made to the Whadjuk Noongar people of Western Australia, accommodating their socio-cultural lifestyles within contemporary architecture.
Abstrac t The notion of a house has evolved. From the primitive era to the present times, a house is more than just a place of shelter or a practical concept. A house is a sanctuary which encapsulates the culture, heritage, and historical time-line of its inhabitant. However, Indigenous housing designs and spatial arrangements are based on European housing ideology without considering the Aboriginal domiciliary cultures and activities. This thesis present an opportunity to propose an alternative architectural design to solve the current Indigenous housing issues. This research is based on the analysis of past Aboriginal Architecture to design a vernacular Indigenous housing which is culturally appropriate to the Aboriginal of Western Australia. “Forbidden from speaking our unwritten language shifted into tin huts and given mission blankets we made a living shearing but the town doors were closed white flour, sugar, tea is not what we chose.” neerven 2020, 52 State of heart - Deni Mobs.

Analysis of past Aboriginal archite cture of We s t e r n A u s t r a l i a : The fully enclosed Mia - Mia
The fully enclosed Mia – Mia is used during the winter seasons, when there is heavy rainfall. The aim of the analysis is to create a dome structure that can adapt to the weather condition and perform the function of both the fully enclosed and the semi enclosed shelter. The outcome of the analysis lead to two type of roof structure that can be used depending on the weather conditions
Analysis of past Aboriginal archite cture of We s t e r n A u s t r a l i a : Semi enclosed Mia - Mia
The semi enclosed Mia – Mia - The Semi-enclosed shelter was used during the hot seasons. The analysis of the Mia - Mia leading to a design proposal. The aim of the analysis was to understand how the past Aboriginal shelter were constructed. The main structural element is made with wooden sticks and the cladding is made with paper-bark or Spinifex grass. The analysis leads to a wall design that can be perform the same function as the semi enclose Mia-Mia, that is to provide shade and act as a wind breaker when required.
Indigenous construction methods: The indigenous methods of construction inspire the construction method for the proposed design. With a variety of handcrafted construction techniques, the aboriginal shelters were built. The shelters were constructed without any permanent joinery; every shelter was connected using branches as structures and leaves and paper-bark as cladding.
Proposed construction methods: The Japanese joinery methods were like the Aboriginal means of connection where there no use of permanent joints such as screws, bolts, or glue. The proposed design uses crafted Japanese wooden joinery methods for construction. The construction method allows the design outcome to represent the past Indigenous method of construction.

Bayswater hub
Philosophy The design philosophy for the Bayswater community facility is based on the notion of openness and inclusivity for communal engagement.
Conceptual framing The aim for the design was to create spaces which can be adapted and be timeless to fulfil the design intent and beyond. The existing Spacial layout created various constraints in terms of potential room layouts and functions. Our proposal is an open floor plan based on a series of grids and separators with wheels, a pivot mechanism to create a free moving wall structure.
Relationship to context Part of the community engagement starts with the refurbishment; the proposed modification can be done by the local experts living in the Bayswater precinct i.e. carpenters, builders. This will result in cost reduction for the construction. A mural artist space is allocated at the back of the building to invite local artist to paint and change the mural on a monthly basis, this will help the artists to showcase their work. The backyard where the car-park is located can be re-arrange for week-end community meet-up; with a local backyard BBQ which will promote conversation on local progress amongst inhabitants more casually. The façade of the building’s Northern Elevation can host display banners which can be updated on a regular basis. It will inform locals, visitors and train travellers about events happening in the city of Bayswater which will be an advertisement strategy.
Conclusion Overall the design focuses on community engagement as well as adaptability and flexibility. It allows the creation of spaces that is able to accommodate many of the communities needs as well as the needs of the collaborative space and its functions.

03. R E S ONA NC E OF L IG H T BRIEF PARAMETRIC RESONANCE & UNFOLDING This assignment will investigate architecture at a scale of 1:20. At this scale, the relationship between the elements in the parametric Form and the environment or forces upon it determines the final shape of the form. This relationship is informed by “Resonance”. Reflections or refractions triggered by physical phenomena or works of art as an amplified accompaniment to a Force, vibration, or perception – both physically and emotionally. Students will explore the effects of resonance as they explore ceiling design concepts and its unfolding using parametric methods of design.

Parametric Roof
Philosophy My philosophy for this brief was to apply the notion of Bio-mimicry to the architecture of the roof.
Conceptual framing
The aim is to apply the notion of resonance to create a kinetic roof structure to react with light particles intensity, which will change the structure of the roof to control light intensity entering the room. I based my approach of resonance to the bio-mimicry of the human eye and the ability to adjust light entering the cornea. This same light control is applied to the roof structure to control light mood and spatial experiences.

04. THE STEEL HOUSE BRIEF Addressing the shortage of affordable housing in Australia, opportunity exists for the use of excess land holdings to establish temporary residential accommodation. Offsite construction and prefabrication solutions are ideally placed to develop affordable housing solutions that meet a cost-effective relocation requirement. Design solutions for a multi-level unit typology shall comprise a block plan providing 8 x two-bedroom and single bathroom units and 4 x one-bedroom and single bathroom units as a unit building design that can be readily modified, delivered in multiple configurations and with maximum flexibility to accommodate more than one façade type. This provides for a solution that will be responsive to various site locations over a 50-year period.

Philosophy To create spaces which can accomodate different people’s way of living.
Conceptual framing
Every individual/Family has different needs and requirements when it comes to footprint of a home. The aim of this design proposal is to create spaces which can adapt to one’s need. This is acheive in this design through the removal of walls to extend the spacial arrangement and create a different typology to suit a family requirement.
Conclusion Overall the design focuses on community engagement and flexibility of arrangement. Also on the future of the modular arrangement of the same module to create a more sustainable design outcome.

05. EO C AFRICA BRIEF Emergencies strike suddenly and without warning. They level cities to the ground and tear down buildings as though they were made of sand. In almost no time at all everything is destroyed and all that remains is the realisation that you have to get up and start all over again from scratch. In recent years the occurrence of deluges and flooding have increased dramatically. Competition aimed to design an architecture that will house an EOC (Emergency Operations Center) and that can help to facilitate the humanitarian operations of international organisations, allowing them to act with the utmost efficiency.
EOC AFRICA Ye a r :
2020 Ty p e : Competition Client: L o c a t i o n : Africa
Philosophy The idea is for the wall panels to fit together like a puzzle.
Conceptual framing
In order to allow for a quick construction, process our design idea was to use vulgaris bamboo to make prefabricated panels that could be easily transported and erected on site. We started off with a 1x1 meter grid system into which each of these panels could slot into. The site was divided into two sections with the medical space located on the one side and the logistics and operational spaces located on the other.
Conclusion The panels can be used again after the emergency is over, either through incorporation into another EOC or in helping to reconstruct an area after a disaster has occurred. They can be easily unbolted and lifted out of place. The roof system is constructed out of bamboo and makes use of a tent covering for quick deployment. The foundation of the temporary structure can be constructed by local tradesmen through the rammed earth process or, if desired, other means such as clay.

06. T H E H E R I TA G E S H E D BRIEF The “Men Shed” at 8 Vasto Place, Balcatta (the City of Stirling) was chosen for its grass-roots community grown place. This historically significance men’s orientated workshop based activity has been in-valued as an outreach program. More recently the Men’s Shed seeks to be more contemporary with aspiration to involve the wider community through the aspiration for an Artisan Centre. The idea of the Balcatta Artisan Design Competition was born through the collaboration of Curtin University and the City of Stirling.

Our Philosophy AAAM Architects have strived to create a design that is adaptable and functional.
Conceptual framing The design which AAAM Architects has proposed for the existing Men’s Shed is underpinned by four key values. These are Community, Sculpture, Sustainability and Kinetics. Our goal as a firm was to create a building which was not only beautiful and sustainable, but also one that is able to welcome the broader community and create space for them within the existing precinct. A space that was designed not only for the activities of today, but also for those of the future, thus adaptability was key. Our first site visit allowed us to see the importance that the Men’s Shed played in the lives of the people it served. It was not only the activities taking place that were important to the men and women that used the Shed but the very structure itself. The Shed itself is symbolic with emotion and heritage attached to it’s past. As a firm we could not destroy it and thus we decided to incorporate the existing shed within the new design. Through a sculptural roof, open plan with movable features and doors, our values were realised. Adaptable and functional, our design allows the existing Men’s Shed to function as it has before. The new adaptable structure behind allows for multitudes of activities, classes and events to take place, thus further adding vibrancy and functionality to the site.
