My passion for Landscape Architecture stems from one simple moment as a child: watching a butterfly land on a shrub I had just planted in the garden. I had ‘created’ something that both the environment and people could enjoy and benefit from.

Through this culmination of people and nature, my passion for the environment, culture, art and design inspired me to undertake a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture.

For me, Landscape Architecture is not only a profession, but a lifestyle of fosters a harmonious relationship and intereaction between society and the environment. It provides people with enriching experiences and unique opportunities to participate in shaping our present and future, and promotes environmental and social cohesion.

My vision for design is powered by the idea of transformation.

Design has the ability to bring about social, environmental and mental transformation; not only should design foster better social and environmental situations, but it should transform the way people think of or percieve the relationship between society and the environment, or even Landscape Architecture itself.

This portfolio demonstrates my development and journey as a designer to fulfill this vision.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Propositions for Badgerys Creek Airpor t | 2014 Badgerys Creek, NSW AMPLIFY

GROUP:

Graeme Strolin, Hugo Takase-Simpson Cassandra Teo, Morgan Watt.

The development of Sydney’s second airport at Badgerys Creek acts as a catalyst for rapid growth and urbanisation in the Western Sydney region.

With a predicted population increase of 300000 and a job deficit of 320000 by 2036 in Western Sydney, a powerful core industry is needed to address these issues which can also support a young airport. In response to this, sensitive planning and design is paramount to minimise any adverse effects of the airport and subsequent development of the surrounding areas, and ensure the environmental, economic and social stability and success of the development at Badgerys Creek.

BIOMED aims to acheive this by creating a successful airport city that focuses on the development of an international biomedical research centre, and protects the existing ecological systems and landscape processes. This design draws upon landscape urbanist principles to create and support urban development that is sensitive to environmental processes and contexts, allowing for growth and change through a network of ecological systems, open spaces, transit systems and urban centres on a local, regional and global scale. The protection and regeneration of remnants of endangered ecological communities that exist in the project area is a key focus, particularly the Cumberland Plains Woodland and River-Flat Eucalypt Forest that are present around the creek lines.

Through a confluence of urban and environmental processes and planning strategies, BIOMED proposes an urban development that respects the existing landscape conditions and processes and is adaptable to the ever-changing nature of urbanisation and growth.

LANDSCAPE URBANISM Stemming from a landscape urbanist approach, urban development is fostered and supported by an understanding of the local and regional landscape context and respect for the natural environment.

This was iterated through the idea of amplifying and staging the landscape through built form, as well as using the landscape to structure development. The existing topography and water systems dictated the structure and design of the airport city.

BIOMEDICAL CONTEXT There is currently a strong global movement into biomedical research, particularly in Europe and America, with 9 new biomedical centres being developed in the next 15 years and 8 existing Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research (NIBR) facilites located around the globe.

The new airport at Badgerys Creek is prime location for developing an international biomedical centre, and opens up the possibility of advancing Australia in this global movement, particularly in the SouthEast Asian region, and Sydney as a global city.

THE GLOBAL STAGE An international biomedical core at Badgerys Creek will landmark Sydney, Aus. in the strong global movement into biomedical research.

STRUCTURE PLAN

REGIONAL PRECINCT

Supporting the incoming airfreight tonnage and the development of the specialised centres, and facilitating wider regional connections are surrounding freight, logistics and disbtribution land uses. Future passenger influx thrugh Badgerys Creek airport is supported by commercial, entertainment and residential development throughout the site.

Transit systems connect the airport and the main urban centres to the wider Sydney region.

Arranged around the twin centres of the biomedical research centre to the south and major hospital centre to the north, the biomedical precinct houses an integrated university, high density residential, mixed use business and quality public open spaces. The twin centres are connected - and bisected by two cross axial pedestrian malls that define the university area. Bounding Regenerated Cumberland Plains Woodland and River-Flat Eucalypt Forest form the boundary between the precinct and the airport.

FEEDING THE CITY Living Architecture | 2014 Sydney, NSW

With the rapid increase in population and land clearing in the past few decades, the demand on food is overwhelming. Not only do we consume more food, but with this rapid urbanisation, the habitats and food source for the native fauna are depleting, with only small remnants remaining around city centres.

The concept for Feeding the City draws from this notion and aims at creating a corridor of sustenance for both people and native fauna in the Sydney region. This is achieved through a corridor of edible green roofs and walls for people and animals. A series of rooftops are identified to create a stepping stone effect that encourages users of the existing green spaces to move throughout the corridor, and establish a new food source network within the city of Sydney. To help encourage the movement of biodiversity through the corridor, the flying/travelling distance between areas will be reduced via green walls located in between rooftops.

Feeding the City aims at utilising under-used spaces to ease the local demands on food, encourage green living, and encourage native biodiversity back into the city.

The focus area is Goulburn St Carpark, located in the middle of the corridor, between Hyde Park and Belmore Park.

Integrating green living and biodiversity in a highly urbanised setting through a new food source habitat corridor.

TIDE TOGETHER DESIGN WITH A COMPLEX PROGRAM | 2013 NEWCASTLE, NSW

This project, located in Newcastle, NSW, is a response to the removal of the heavy rail from Wickham to Newcastle, to strengthen the relationship between the city and the harbour. It is a design intervention that focuses on creating a seamless connection between the urban centre of Newcastle, the harbour and the surrounding region to facilitate a greater city-harbour engagement. Derived from the tidal motion of the water, this connection is acheived through a push and pull dialogue of the urban form and the ecology of the Hunter River through the previous rail corridor.

The urban form is pushed out into the river by extending the urban layout, creating physical and visual lines into the water, while the river ecology is pulled into the urban landscape creating new ecological public spaces within the city.

This idea of pushing and pulling is extended across the harbour to Stockton and further south of the corridor to Hunter St Mall, respresenting a greater pull of the river ecology and the surrounding area into the corridor. The overarching push-pull concept is transformed to focus on the stages of a tide as design generators: the drawback, the tide and the splash.

Through this interplay of city and water, this design celebrates the city’s landscape context and encourages residents and visitors to engage with the diverse Hunter River harbour.

12

CONCEPT - PUSH AND PULL The concept of push and pull is drawn from the surrounding context, namely the Hunter River.

Inspired by the motion of the water and its ability to drawn the land out, push and pull dissolves the boundary between city and harbour, transforming the corridor into a ecological connector that draws pedestrians through the corridor and out to the foreshore.

Push and pull is also used to implement ecological systems and processes back into the urban fabric and encourage wildlife back into the city. This is also used to mitigate the effects of flood and run off from the steep landform of the city adjacent to the harbour.

SYDNEY PARK CITY FARM

MASTERPLAN

SITE PLANNING | 2013 ST PETERS, NSW

SYDNEY PARK

The Sydney Park City Farm design is influenced by two concepts: the urban-rural transition, and the idea of green living. The aim of this project is to create a bridge between the urban and the rural through providing green, sustainable ideas that can be implemented at home, within the community, and at a broader regional level.

ST PETERS

The urban-rural transition traslates into 3 components of the city farm. The first is an urban section, located in the northern area of the city farm site next to the brick kiln precinct. The design reflects the typical characteristics of urban city spaces: intense, geometric, harsh. This area focuses on city farming, or ‘green living’, providing modern ideas that can be implemented at home.

The second component is a rural section, located in the southern area of the city farm site next to the maintenance depot/nursery.

The design reflects the typical characteristics of rural spaces: open, organic, gentle. This area focuses on more traditional farming techniques to produce on a broader regional scale. living green living a link The last component is the transition section, whichgreen forms between the urban and rural areas. The design is an integration of the characteristics of urban and rural. This area focuses on city farming implementations on a community level.

TAKING FLIGHT DESIGN RESOLUTION AND DOCUMENT | 2012 POWELLS CREEK, NSW

This design interprets the international significance of the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wetlands and migratory birds, and the major cycleyway that bisects the site. It aims to create an active open park space that serves as both a communal park, and as part of the larger Bay to Bay Cycleway from Ryde to Botany Bay. This is achieved through the exploration of two concepts: Connection: The site plays a major role within the surrounding urban space as part of a major north-south connection route. As such, approriate access and thoroughfare paths are fundamental aspects to the park.

Other improvements include more defined pathways, particularly on the eastern side of Powells Creek, better connections linking all three parks/reserves, as well as better east-west connections.

Safety: In its current state, sections of the site are unsafe due to various areas that are either enclosed/screened or in locations that receive low to no surveillance, resulting in a low level of usage by residents and visitors on a regular basis. This design utilizes the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) to create an open and safe environment that facilitiates multi-purpose use of the park. Sweeping views encourage people to focal points to view the surroundings, doubling as passive surveillance. Key congestion and gathering points are transformed into open spaces, creating lines of site to possible destinations The design interprets the existing context through the winding, curving paths that reflect the natural trajectory of the flight of the migratory birds, and the curve of a ball as it sails through the air over the sporting fields.

TRANQUIL FISSURE DESIGN PROCESS | 2011 COCKATOO ISLAND, NSW

This project redesigned a derilict corridor on Cockatoo Island, transforming it into a place of retreat and gathering. Creating different ‘rooms’, the design offers a series of different spatial experiences that break up the narrow and enclosed characteristic of the space. The design encourages people to stay and explore, and creates a new point of interest on the island.

Tucked away in its own little pocket this long fissure is a sanctuary.

An escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is a retreat into your own little world.

A soft glowing wooded entry beckons you in. A once dark and cold place now illuminates light and filters the wind.

Light bounces off the still water, reflecting the sky above.

Lush green cushions the ground; a place in the centre of everything where there is nothing but you, the sky and your thoughts.

A vertical garden wall animates the space, a display of colour and life to balance the stillness and silence of this sanctuary.

Though isolated and removed from the rest of the world, the historical roots of this place are still present, ‘feature walls’ in their own right.

OTHER COURSE WORK CASE STUDY: PONTE VECCHIO | 2013 UNSW

This case study focused on the development of the Ponte Vecchio in relation to the surrounding landscape conditions. I was particularly interested in and inspired by the Ponte Vecchio by its ability to transform and define its space and the surrounding places, and adapt to its intense and ever-changing context.

The Ponte Vecchio is the oldest bridge in Florence dating back to the Roman city then known as Florentia, during 59BC, and is one of a series of bridges that crosses the river Arno in Florence. Rich in culture and history, it is the only Florentine bridge to maintain its mid-14th century structures and is noted for being one of the remaining ‘living’ bridges with houses and shops built upon it.

An infrastructure onto which buildings are glued and from which public activities are generated, the Ponte Vecchio isn’t just a bridge that straddles a river, but an extension of the urban fabric of the city.

It acts as a path and portal between two parts of a city, and a place where two parts of the city encounter and transform each other.

Through architectural and landscape elements, the bridge becomes a coherent public space into which separated buildings and activities are integrated. This amalgamation of bridge, street and shops makes the Ponte Vecchio significant as both a pedestrian thoroughfare and a commercial gathering area.

FREELANCE WORK PRELIMINRY DESIGN | 2013 SANS SOUCI, NSW

PRELIMINARY DESIGN MODELLING - SKETCH UP This project is a preliminary design proposal for a residence located in Sans Souci, NSW, along a busy road and coincides with the redevelopment of the house.The project brief provided numerous constraints and the design is based heavily on collaboration with the client.

Influence by chinese feng shui, the front garden features curvilinear geometries and a water feature pond. The entrance to the property is purposely misaligned from the entrance to the house and is connected by a curving stone pathway. The water feature pond is positioned in the north section of the garden and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t directly faced towards the house entrance to encourage good feng shui.

As per the clients requests, the softscape is edged by concrete for easy maintenance and the front garden containds a fruit tree/vegetable planting area.

The client requested Japanese elements be subtly integrated into the design. This was achieved through feature maple trees and the use of pebbles throughout the design. The side courtyard is also based on the japanese zen gardens, featuring a miniature raked pebble garden.

The side courtyard is designed as a private seating area for reflection and reading. It features a water feature with integrated wooden seating and is overlooked by the backyard verandah and the rumpus room window.

The repetition of the use of hardscape and planting materials and water features visually ties the two areas together, while a narrow stepping stone path down the side of the house physically connects the two areas.
