“Kampung or village is the main urban settlement type in Indonesia that forms the basis of a social structure and urban typology of the city. As people are moving towards the modern world, kampung begins to lose its cultural identity and question the existence of itself.

Along with the current pandemic situation and restrictions, the kampung that was originally known as a close-knit community is becoming foreign and distant.”

fragmented collective DESIGN STUDIO E: 36. UNTITLED (SEMESTER 2, 2021) Studio Leader: Anna Nervegna fragmented collective is an extension of the neighbourhood of Fitzroy.

The proposed art gallery space consitutes of stacked fragments that breaks down the idea of internalised gallery space into a series of formal and informal, individual and communal, focused and diffused, indoor and outdoor space. *exhibited at MSDx Summer 2021 *Finalist in the 36th Dulux Colour Awards 2022. *Top 10 Projects by Australian Design Review.

STRATEGY

DESIGN STATEMENT With the current pandemic situation, most art and culture industries are in free fall, forcing many theatres, museums, and art centres to shut their doors. Without certainties of when they would reopen, the arts and culture sector is slowly diminishing.

The question is, how do we connect people again through art and culture like we used to?

How can we accommodate people to experience art and culture despite the current situation and restrictions?

CONCEPTUAL MODEL

Contemporary art has been slowly shifting from the physical towards the digital realm, allowing people across the globe to experience art and culture simultaneously. The proposed art gallery space would shift the focus from a contemporary internalized gallery space into a mixture of indoor and outdoor gallery space that enables interaction between human and art, where it will be home to hundreds and thousands of physical, visual, and digital art.

As mentioned by Steven Holl in his book Questions of Perception, he mentioned that phenomenology is a curation of fragments or a series of incomplete phenomena that results in an architectural experience. These fragments are texture, materiality, opacity, transparency, and translucency. Therefore, in this project, the proposed gallery space would explore the potential of light and materiality to create a sensory and atmospheric experience throughout the gallery space.

Studio Leader: Yui Uchimura Sanctuary trails aim to discover the art of printmaking through the act of carving and preserving that amalgamates a series of programs and journey within the landscape. The main strategy is to create a representation of a bodily movement across the site and to provide a sense of being away from everything without being compromised by a profound level of openness from the site itself.

PROCESS & IMPERFECTION

We always think of architecture as an additive element to the landscape, however, the sanctuary is rather an embodiment within the landscape itself.

The sanctuary proposes shifting the focus on dynamic forms of new building towards the internal spaces where we, human, inhabit and experience the space.

Transforming “form follows function” into “subtraction follows function”, the sanctuary allows programs such as workshop, residence, and accommodations to be concealed within subtracted voids where each program has its own volumetric experience, lighting quality, and orientation towards the site scenery.

The experience is curated with the notion of compression and release, where the journey started from carving the landscape into opening to the natural light and Daylesford scenery.

Throughout the project, the curation of material palette and detailing are utilized to strengthens the experiential quality of the project.

The young couple used to teach printmaking in RMIT, however, since the teaching has been suspended due to COVID-19, the couple wishes to move into Daylesford and pursue their dream of running a printmaking workshop near their residence.

The Apprentice (25) used to be their student during their teaching period in RMIT. She currently lives in Daylesford, and she is willing to work in the workshop for the young couple.

The couple treats her as if she is their daughter.

psy-ark DESIGN STUDIO C: 04. THE ARK (SEMESTER 2, 2020) In collaboration with: Grady Wang Studio Leader: Laura Martirez Due to the confinement of humans during the isolation period, PSYARK acts as a vessel and artefact of human emotions.

The ark amalgamates complex emotions through architecture that reflects the human condition, our sentiment, and feelings before the pandemic. This establishes order to gradually increase exposure to urbanity.

Because everyone is different and expresses/experiences and reacts differently to certain situations, the Ark proposes users free will to gradually explore and experience emotional exposure.

APPLIED ARCHITECTURE TECHNOLOGY (SEMESTER 1, 2020) In collaboration with: Sandra Lin & Hafiz Azman Studio Leader: Luca Calvanese for more: https://issuu.com/charensiaaa/docs/t21_groupc_charensia_hafiz_ sandra Six Fifty Tower is located at 650 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne, positioned in between The Ritz Carlton Hotel and Melbourne One Apartments. The whole concept of the design is about transitioning from public to private space with the idea of inviting people to inhabit the space.

It aims to engage with the street context and contribute to the Melbourne City Skyline through vertical stepping from the podium, the tower, and to the top of the crown.

20

The idea of creating eight sides around the tower allows 360 degrees view of the Melbourne city skyline, which therefore, creates fluidity rather than rigidity.

Taxi drop off will have its own access from Lonsdale Street to the undercover podium area adjacent to Merriman Lane.

morphological city AAVS MELBOURNE (WINTER, 2021) Studio Leader: Kate Finning & Andrew Power for more: https://issuu.com/charensiaaa/docs/charensiapricillarompis_860209_journal The proposed city is called a Morphological City, not a TikTok city.

Inspired from the duet feature of the network, the city itself is a critique. It is a fictional city, yet present, in how social media predominantly occupy our daily lives. The city’s history is embedded in architecture and inherited through what is called an urban mutation. The lack of connection between architecture and urbanism that form a city becomes a strong basis of the proposed city.

Gridded, yet, emergent, the theoretical framework of the city is imposed on a 30 by 30-metre grid that acts as a boundary between each unit. The gridded nature of the city is able to remove the idea of hierarchy to reinforce the sense of community. Additionally, unbuilt areas within the grid will be used as open communal space. Analogous to the way viral phenomena propagates, the city aims to replicate and mutate. The development will introduce a new architectural typology that creates a “spontaneous” city within this Morphological City.

22

The typology contains different forms and arrangements that reflect the political nature of this “duet phenomena” referred to as the host or origin. From the host itself, the unit can replicate and mutate into recognisable forms.

The city contains an open boundary in the form of a mountain landscape that acts as unseen city walls. It is analogous to the way an Algorithm is controlling social media. Though there are no concrete data behind it, we all know that the Algorithm plays a big factor in restricting how much exposure we can get. As the city continues to grow, new housing typology either gets replaced or grow into the landscape, blurring the unseen boundary of the city. The flexibility and growth from the typology mutation produce an “informal urbanism” within the city itself.

dragon dance

DESIGNING FOR HEAT (DECEMBER, 2021) In collaboration with: Grady Wang, Hafiz Azman, Roujin Wu, Lainie Sutton Studio Leader: Wendy Walls for more: https://issuu.com/charensiaaa/docs/ass3.group05_melbourne_ grady_charensia_roujin_laingroup05_melbourne_grady_charensia_roujin_lain Dragon dance is a traditional dance and performance. It is a simulation of the imagined movements of this river spirit in a sinuous and undulating manner. It is a symbol of Chinese culture and is believed to bring good luck to people. These spirits affiliate themselves with the rain, wind, and sun. And the longer the dragon is in the dance, the more luck it will bring to the community.

24

Our focus site is Corrs Lane, and the strategy and concept is to utilise the existing microclimatic conditions imbued in the physicality of compression and release in the site. The lane is broken up into three segments that scale from compression to release, and the design is to mitigate the unwanted and unpleasant atmospheric qualities of the site, and to enhance and enable specific microclimatic conditions that vitalises the hospitality programs present on site.
