Bondi Brewery

Promoting dignity and inclusion in the community through meaningful work for dislodged individuals.

Aydan Franks z5152540 Masters of Architecture, UNSW. Social Agency Studio, 2018.

Abstract. In countries such as Australia, many individuals with intellectual disabilities are dislodged from mainstream society and lack opportunities to build resilience through traditional methods. This is the result of the institutionalisation of care for people with disabilities and segregation caused by societal perceptions within systems such as education. The brief was developed to provide opportunities for meaningful work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a fulfilling aspect of life that many Australians are unable to engage in. Bondi Brewery is a project working alongside the Wayside Chapel to challenge societal preconceptions relating to intellectual disability. The Brewery provides meaningful work opportunities and patronage to those with disabilities in order to challenge prejudiced notions regarding their individual self-determination and imposed community stewardship. The Brewery and co-working spaces implement opportunities to build social, professional and financial networks while also providing accessible public spaces to facilitate interaction between diverse groups within the local community.

Creating community with no us and them. Wayside Chapel has for over 50 years operated in Kings Cross, working with people often marginalised by society. Wayside’s mission statement is simply put - ‘creating community with no us and them … breaking down the barriers of judgement and providing a safe place where people from all walks of life are welcome’. Wayside has a rich history and a strong ethos of community engagement, based on dignity and respect for those who may be marginalised in society. Wayside currently operates a number of programs, which include counselling, running a restaurant, managing a community garden, an aboriginal programme, community services, a youth programme and social events. Recently Wayside was given three buildings in Bondi, and has an ambition to use these buildings to establish its work there. To achieve this, Wayside has invited this studio to consider how one or more of the buildings and sites it now owns can be used to fulfil its mission, for now and over the next 50 years.

Community Resilience and Waysideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role. Building resilience within a community can take multiple forms depending on the conceptual definition of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Resilienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Resilience as a word is a broad term to describe the ability of individuals to respond to challenges and navigate disasters or shocks without long-lasting detriment to themselves. Multiple models have been developed to provide frameworks to address and describe what makes a community or individual resilient. Much of the work undertaken by the Wayside Chapel in Kings Cross is largely around building resilience on an individual and small community level. Using the resilience model shown in the diagram opposite, the continued work of the Wayside Chapel in Bondi can contribute to the overall resilience of both individuals and community. The project will provide an opportunity through the provision of meaningful work and support to build assets such as social connections, financial connections as well as important human connections between margininalised communities and the broader suburb.

Zack Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2011 Film Suckerpunch explored the dark and morally ambiguous world of institutions which were in operation until very recently. Many were committed to these institutions mistakenly due to poor diagnostic procedures and social stigma surrounding intellectual disability and mental health.

Intellectual disability. Current issues are a culmination of dominant social values as well as the history of the development of the field of medicine and human services during the 19th and early 20th century.1 The changing societal values can be simplified to the four â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;principles of modernityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as defined by Sztompka - Rationality, economism, individualism and hedonism. These driving forces impact the way members of society interact with each other and therefore influence the decisions made as a collective that affect vulnerable minorities. The rise of professionalism under the universal acceptance of scientific method led to the pervasive organisational response to vulnerable groups such as people with a disability, the mentally ill, and the poor. Established institutions such as leprosaria that were no longer needed were often repurposed and then served as models for institutions elsewhere.2 For people without the social assets and necessary resilience they can find themselves living in large institutions, which are often poorly funded. These institutions not only existed in Europe, but also were constructed in Australia during the 19th and 20th centuries.

Social perceptions of disability. There are two main paradigms of intellectual disability: the clinical paradigm and the social systems paradigm. These paradigms impact the way people with intellectual disabilities are assisted. The clinical paradigm views the intellectual disability as a condition, essentially something within the individual and is reflective of the medical origins of the paradigm. The clinical approach often includes doctors and nurses providing care in places such as hospitals or clinics. The paradigm is also reflected in language such as diagnosis, medication, and patient. Treatment and care administered under this paradigm is often reflective of this attitude and strives to fix or cure the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.4

The social systems paradigm considers the influence of the broad physical and social environment in which the person functions. This paradigm is strongly connected to the field of sociology and considers concepts such as labelling theory and expectancy effects. The social systems paradigm is the future direction and is enabling processes to end the historic segregation and further disadvantages generated by societal values.5 There is a shift in perception as society moves from the clinical treatment of disability and embrace the social and individual aspects of our environment to break down the barriers constructed by the ingrained practices of society.

Mark Oliver distinguishes between the social construction and the social creation of disability: The social constructionist view sees the problem as being located within the minds of able-bodied people, whether individually (prejudice) or collectively, through the manifestation of hostile social attitudes and the enactment of social policies based upon a tragic view of disability. The social creationist view, however, sees the problem as located within the institutionalised practices of society.3

Meaningful Activity.

30%

90%

vs.

Currently individuals with an intellectual disability engage in meaningful activity only 30% of their time. By comparison the average Australian is engaged in meaningful activity 90% of their time. Part of the root cause is the shift to a knowledge economy and the segregational nature of educational systems for people with intellectual impairments. Stigmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and attitudes towards what constitutes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fit for workâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the possibility of extra considerations to be made can drive employers to disregard hiring vulnerable people in the market economy. The current paradigm is seeing a shift towards getting people with disabilities back out into the market economy and improving their lives and their communities through meaningful engagement. This builds resilience by establishing independence as well as social and economic connections within the community to assist individuals in mitigating the risks of shocks or disasters. Meaningful employment is not limited to manual or menial tasks, many businesses have succesfully worked alongside community groups such as the Wayside Chapel to employ people with disabilities in roles that provide economic benefit to all involved.

Meaningful Work.

Meaningful work should satisfy the following characteristics: • Meet basic needs • Leverage individual strengths • Provide satisfaction from work • Being ‘in’ on things such as confidential information • Treated with respect by peers and management • Work is identifiable in the bigger picture • Personal independence and interdependence. • Individual feels valued by the organisation • Opportunities for self awareness • Promotion of others satisfaction • Recognition

How can architecture and social programs contribute to overcoming these issues? Various employers and services internationally are working to break down the barriers and challenge the negative effects of established social practices affecting individuals with disabilities. These precedents form the basis for the selection of appropriate programs for this project, balanced against the values of The Wayside Chapel. The provision of meaningful work has been chosen as the vehicle for enacting social change within this scheme, having opportunities to enrich the lives of vulnerable individuals and build resilience within the community by establishing vital social, economical and personal relationships. The programs that help establish these relationships can be targeted at vulnerable groups such as individuals living with an intellectual disability, but also are applicable in developing resilience amongst many of the vulnerable people that the Wayside Chapel interacts with.

Brewing and Fermentation

Statue of Osiris kept in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Osiris was believed responsible for providing mankind with the gifts of both culture and agriculture. One of these gifts specifically was the knowledge of brewing beer.

Brewing and Fermenting. Brewing is a process that can be traced back as far as the 6th millennium BC. Ancient civilisations such as the Mesoptamians and ancient Egyptians brewed forms of beer. Trappist and Cistercian Monks developed a culture of brewing beer and fermenting wine during the middle ages. The production processes for these beverages rendered dangerous water safe to drink, as well as adding nutrients to the water that made brewed beverages a staple part of a balanced diet.

Beer also served as an important social and economic asset for the monasteries. Monks in medieval monastaries believed in hospitality and charity, similar to Wayside today, monastaries were a place of refuge where all were welcome to rest and enjoy a clean place with trustworthy food and drink. Fermented drinks such as beer were an economic tool for monks, as high quality beer from prime ingredients would be sold or traded for other goods that the monks required. Brewing has been an important part of western economies since the 19th century. Australia has a history of beer brewing that began with the arrival of the First Fleet and continues through to today. Recent years have seen the rise of the craft beer and smaller locally produced beers are growing in popularity. The Wayside Brewery will be positioned to take advantage of the demand for locally sourced brewed products, developing the business into a vehicle to enable their social and economic programs for community engagement.

The brewing process, infographic courtesy of Stellenbrau Brewery. The process of brewing beer is largely the same world over, changes to the ingredients used, fermentation times, storage times and more impact the quality of the final product or the type of beer produced.

The fermentation process. Beer brewing is an ordered ritual, each step must be conducted in the correct manner to maintain product quality and hygiene. The fermentation process may take time, but with multiple fermentation tanks a well organised brewery can produce a substantial amount of beer relative to the operations size.

To make beer, the process followed by most involves milling barley and then combining with water in a vessel known as a tun. Following the straining of the barley from the water the water is added alongside a hop blend (for flavour) to a brew kettle that is often copper or stainless steel. After being heated in the brew kettle, the beer can be left to ferment in a fermentation tank before being filtered and stored.

Brewery operations can be tied into the wider Wayside precinct at Bondi. The brewery can enhance and support operations within the exhibition spaces as well as cafes and night-time economy elements such as bars.

Issues and opportunities. Issues facing members of the community with intellectual disabilities include: • Poor resilience due to limited support networks • Reliance on immediate family due to segregation and lack of education • Prejudice faced in the wider community when seeking services such as healthcare • Difficulty finding meaningful employment or involvement • Limited self-determination and independence This brief is an opportunity to implement systems and frameworks to engage the community of Bondi and begin to address these issues to build resilience while preserving dignity and self-determination. Programs that sit between the beliefs and goals of the Wayside Chapel and the needs of the community may include: • • • •

Vocational training Career coaching Art workshops, studios and display spaces Hospitality and Retail ventures for vocational and revenue purposes • Professional suites for sole practitioner consultants, lawyers and professionals • Sports and recreational facilities • Clinics to help provide community access to specialised services such as tax, legal aid, and healthcare

107 Projects, Redfern.

107 Projects operates as a social enterprise, aiming to improve communities through creative thinking. Their aim as an organisation is to transform engagement between sectors of the communities they operate within and connect emerging communities to services that foster the advancement of culture. This philosophy is set to be expanded in the near future when 107 Projects takes stewardship of the Joynton Avenue Creative Centre in Green Square. Ongoing development and the apartment boom in Green Square is an ideal location for 107 Projects to engage their philosophy and work with new and emerging communities 107 Projects also provides opportunities for cultural language to be expressed. Language is the main tool for communicating and embodying the cultural values of the community. It can include but is not limited to spoken word, literary language, architectural language, artistic language and so forth. Many of these languages are present in the 107 program, hosting events contributed to by the broader community including poetry, performance art, plays, architectural exhibitions, artist exhibitions, legal clinics, indigenous festivals and exhibitions, refugee culture festivals, as well as private functions and live music. 107 Projects provides a platform for the community to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; their thoughts, ideas and perspectives in a language that is comfortable to them.

Thresholds

Jetavan Spiritual Centre, India. Jetavan Spiritual Centre is a Buddhist learning centre. The focus of Thresholds the centre is both spiritual and skill development for the local Buddhist community. The building was constructed carefully on the site, using local materials such as waste flyash, basalt dust and mud. Recycled timbers removed from ships were reborn in the framing of the roof structure. The centre is a place where people come together as individuals and equals to build on their spiritual health as well as technical and educational skills. The centre helps promote both individual and community resilience by providing a meeting place.

Carriageworks, Everleigh. Carriageworks is a multi-arts precinct housed in the heritage Everleigh Rail Yards in close proximity to the growing Redfern-Waterloo artistic community. The project has received support from government agencies such as the NSW State Government. The precinct provides exhibition and performance spaces, residency programs and organisational spaces to multiple groups and individuals involved in the contemporary art sector with the explicit aim of promoting social and cultural diversity.

Context and Community Engagement

“We made the image and it’s been around, I suppose, as a sort of icon of the Australian way of life.’’ - Max Dupain on the Sunbaker

Idyllic Bondi. Bondi Beach was originally established as a picnic spot and pleasure resort by Francis Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien. In 1882 the beach was established as a public beach by the government. Buses ran out to Bondi as early at 1850, and the electric tram was introduced in 1906 and ran until the Sydney tram network was dismantled in the early 1960s. Bondi has long been the model of Australian coastal lifestyle, from the infamous photographic works of Max Dupain to the QANTAS travel posters. Bondi today is still an icon for Australian life and is broadcast around the world on TV and social media. The coastal suburb is a mecca for all who wish to experience the allure of Australia and encompasses a wide variety cultural and social groups, Bondi is visited every year by increasing numbers of tourists and is home to many locals who have grown up in the area. The locals are a tight-knit community, eager to maintain input into the future of their suburb and the preservation of its character.

Exclusive Bondi. Bondiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long running history of community engagement and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;people powerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; can be construed as nimbyism. There is a challenging balance to be found between continued development of Bondi in line with the expansion and growth of Sydney as a whole, and the desire to preserve the history and character of the seaside suburb that has found its way into Australian legend. One of the most divisive clashes in recent memory was the 1996 - 2000 battle over the extension of the Eastern Suburbs rail line to include a station underneath the hill at South Bondi. Locals including vocal celebrities such as Michael Caton campaigned against the train line, concerned about the damage it would do to the area - namely pollution, crime and cultural change. One of the driving arguments against the station was the involvement of Lend Lease and fears that Bondi could become the next Gold Coast strip once the station was established.

“I actually want to have Bondi quarantined from the rest of Sydney, as the visitors don’t pay rates, but the locals, like myself, do,” one resident, Doug Richards, said.

Developing an architectural language that is reminiscent of its context. The design language being developed for the building is heavily influenced by the established program as well as site context. The sites will be linked through a consistent design language, however with distinguishing features reflective of their program in the context of Bondi and the wider Sydney region. Community engagement revealed a fear of modern development in Bondi, leading to a destruction of character similar to the Gold Coast. Iconic buildings such as the Bondi Pavilion, Hotel Revesis and former churches establish a long tradition of ornamentation and character in Bondi. An appropriate scale and architectural language will help establish a balance between development and preservation of character. Interest in preservation of physical character was also expressed, with the Art-Deco apartment blocks being identified specifically. The desired adaptive reuse of the suburbs physical character also lends itself to opportunities for recycled building products sourced locally or from within the region. Sydney is experiencing a period of redevelopment and loss of industrial areas to gentrification. This offers the project opportunities for use of salvaged components such as structural trusses, doorways, windows, masonry and more.

Challenging the cult of the international style. The communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude towards the modernisation of Bondi is clear. The modern highrise of the Gold Coast and similar tourist destinations are not what the community wishes to see as part of progress and development of the suburb. While some may brush this sentiment off as NIMBY-ism, it can be argued that communities are growing weary of an international style. In a shrinking world people no longer look towards the homogeny of the international style as comforting, but as a destruction of local identity. Bondites are not resistant to progress, but rather to the destruction of the character of their suburb. The project aims to combat the lack of identity often associated with modernism through the application of a considered design language informed by the heritage of Bondi and the greater Sydney region as well as drawing inspiration from movements such as the LA Deconstructivists such as Thom Mayne, Frank Ghery and Eric Owen Moss.

Transitioning from the public foreshore to a residential neighbourhood. The public nature of Bondiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urban space transitions rapidly as you move away from the promenade. Idyllic Bondi gives way to itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counterpart Exclusive Bondi where visitors feel less welcome. This transition helps inform the program of the sites, similarly to how the established programs came into being.

Idyllic Bondi: Building contains the Brewery, Bar / Cafe, Exhibition Spaces and other lifestyle programs such as retail and possibly commercial suites.

Collective Bondi: Adaptation of the Op Shop church on Warners Avenue (not pictured) to encompass further community engagement and an expanded childcare service.

Inclusive Bondi: Building(s) containing programs with more social agency. Career Coaching, additional vocational training, support groups, offices, workshops and artist residencies.

Programmatic responses to the context. Building programs across the precinct will be responsive to their context, considerate of their neighbours and designed to enhance the residents and visitors to Bondi alike.

Building heights are established by the existing context. Bondites have a desire to avoid high-rise high density developments.

The Roscoe Street plaza is to be extended to Gould Street, enabling the expansion of activities into the urban ground plane by both Wayside Chapel and Hurricanes Bar & Grill.

A reinterpretation of industrial sawtooth roof forms which were implemented to enable ambient light to penetrate workshops and manufacturing spaces. The light wells (above) will attempt to bring daylight down through the project as well as act as a steeple for the chapel site. Inspiration is being taken from TRIAS Studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s periscope installation (right) at Sydney Design Week, as well as the implementation of heliostats at Central Park in Sydney.

Open and inviting ground floor. Brewery and cafe programs are located on the ground floor. Open plan design involves the community and visitors in the daily operations of the brewery. Exposed equipment allows for a sense of involvement in the brewery processes, as well as an understanding of programs run within the building to help build resilience in the wider community. Open plan spaces allow for the floor to be reconfigured depending on changing patterns of use as well as setting up for events and functions.

Roscoe Street General Arrangement.

Vertical connection and bringing light deep into the building. Iconic skylights bring daylight deep into the buildings section to supplement natural light from the various perimeter openings along the facade. The limited aperture allows the light to reflect off ceiling surfaces and diffuse to fill the space. Voids between floors allow for a sense of connection between the various programs within the building as part of an interlinked network of services and activities.

Roscoe Street North-South Section.

Common language between Wayside buildings. The Norman Andrews chapel and community centre is located a block away along Roscoe Street. Nestled amongst residential dwellings the buildings design language is less imposing than the brewery but shares a common architectural language. The language of form is carried between the traditional steeple form of the chapel and the breweryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skylights.

Flexible church and community services spaces. Inspired by the flexible community spaces at the Wayside Chapel location in Potts Point, the community centre hosts flexible spaces. These include makerspaces, meeting rooms, and a community hall that opens up onto a semi-private courtyard. The courtyard and hall space would operate as a chapel, cafe, event space for the church community as well as the daily operations of the Wayside Chapel.

Concept Model. Concept models were produced to examine the scale of the threshold spaces. The project is centred around individuals and concept models were produced to ensure that the scale of spaces would be perceived as generous relative to the individual. Scaled concept models also allowed for the facade thickness to be explored in relation to end user, ensuring that the brick archways possessed an appropriate consideration. These models provided direction for the development of the threshold spaces and highlighted the need for a careful consideration of the ceiling treatment along the threshold.

Final Proposal

A building for Bondi. The final proposal is a new building that contributes a design language inspired by the local context. The local communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to develop Bondi while maintaining the character and history of the community is echoed through the use of brick and traditional motifs such as archways. The material palette and design language was driven by the community engagement exercises where many Bondites expressed their repeated concerns over the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;soulless modernismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in locations such as the Gold Coast. The facade is a considered approach; borrowed design elements from local heritage buildings are coupled with the internal programs to create an inviting threshold along the boundary. Arches and windows are reflective of the programs that are contained behind them, an indication to everyone that the building has purpose and life.

Natural light and generous spaces. Skylights and void spaces bring natural light deep into the building. Coupled with generous floor to ceiling heights and timber structure, the building is given a light and enjoyable space that makes the most of its location. The ground floor contains a double height space, lined with timber clad arches and strip lighting, providing connection between the ground floor and the mezzanine overhead. Natural light washes down the brick wall and provides illumination to the vertical circulation zone and brewery area.

Inviting threshold spaces. Threshold spaces create dwelling spaces on the verge of inside and out, making the most of the temperate Sydney weather and the benefits of coastal breezes. They provide a sheltered exterior space to enjoy the brewery and cafe in a social setting. These spaces extend to the mezzanine, overlooking the street and plaza through the same arches that open up the ground floor.

Bar, Brewery and Kitchen. The bar and brewery equipment are open and accessible to the public. The brewery creates a sense of identity with Bondi through the idea of locally made products that give back to the community. This is strengthened by opportunities to observe the daily operations of the brewery as well as opportunities for tours, educational events and more. The hospitality components of the brief are an important part of the program, promoting interaction within the community and creating a visible front to the Wayside Chapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission to help provide pathways to meaningful work for dislodged individuals.

Career coaching and co-working. The career coaching and co-working space on the first floor is another important component of the program. The floor is dedicated as an operational centre for the building as well as an inviting co-working space. The career coaching program brings individuals looking for meaningful employment together with employers and experienced â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;career coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that help establish professional relationships. The role of a career coach also extends to assist employees with disabilities by helping both parties establish appropriate job roles and expectations as well as pathways for progression, performance assessment and routines.

Rooftop access and events. The rooftop bar and event space is a lightweight, copper clad crown that sits atop the heavy masonry base. The crown forms the light filled interior space and diffuses the sunlight that illuminates the multi-floor void. The rooftop embraces the Australian affinity with the outdoors with a less sheltered approach than the mezzanine below; providing less shade and greater access to coastal breezes to enjoy alongside a cold beer on a summer afternoon.
