Positioned within the context of Ballarat, my design thesis investigated how ground planes can be utilised to create spatial relationships. Design principles were developed to aid in exploring this topic. These included traversing elevation, threshold, massing, affordances and vertical spatial quality. Furthermore, I explored this topic with consideration for the urban context. Understanding how the wider social, natural and built systems are impacted by architecture is critical to consider. These points underpin my investigation and through the development of three scenarios at varying scales, these impacts are explored.
Scenario 1
A small-scale residential-studio building located in the centre of Ballarat, accommodating a couple who live and work from home.
Key challenges within this project included: separation of home and work life; connection to the street front; natural light access; and connection between vertical spaces. Through multiple iterations and development, these challenges were overcome.

Scenario 2
This project repurposed an underutilised space within the city centre. The cafe adjoins a series of apartments oriented around a public courtyard. Changes in level and ground plane create boundaries and thresholds which establish connections between the spaces.
In this scenario, it was critical to carefully consider the existing structures and maintain character in the historical elements while reactivating the site.

This studio focused heavily on discrete aggregation in architecture. In pairs, we explored the possibilities of prototyping a single discrete part that can be aggregated to construct architecture. Through computation, I was able to efficiently test and iterate in Grasshopper.
Initial prototypes were used to generate small inhabitable structures while the final outcome explored the feasibility of the aggregation at a larger scale. I utilised a number of optimisation strategies such as solar analysis and topological structural optimisation to generate the final form.

This 6 week intensive focused on designing and fabricating working prototypes of an articulating facade system in teams of three. Through extensive fabrication, testing and iteration, we developed the design of the final prototype. I was able to generate models efficiently through Grasshopper allowing us to iterate effectively within the short timespan.
Additionally, there was a heavy focus on fabrication considerations and preparing models for digital fabrication ourselves. This included understanding and preparing G-code for 3D printing and CNC milling.

This studio focused on selected handcraft processes in the project brief — a workshop and dwelling for a craftsperson with multiple residences for visiting artists. For my chosen craft, papermaking, I focused on understanding its processes and designed spaces to facilitate these.
