Competition

The design purpose is correspond to a typology combining living and working together within a skinny building in the heart of a city centre; and how to strike a balance between two major criterion through the distribution and relationship of internal spatial arrangement. So as to let the users/ owners of this building can truly engage in a work-live balance when especially the building locates in a business district with many programmatically-mixed buildings, which the combinations of office and living space are commonly found.

PRIVATE LIVING In terms of private living space, two bedrooms and owners’ shared spaces are set on the upper floors. A skylight above is intended to offer natural day light down into the whole brewery. The owners’ shared spaces include a bathroom, kitchen and dining desk. By placing the living spaces there is to appear towards the public street and collective outdoor area, one for owner and one for visitors, where they can still engage in the heart of the city.

F.A Brewery intended to create varies types of gathering/ meeting spaces for visitors in order to bring people closer and provide them more platforms to engage in the community. We believe this kind of open beer brewery can enhance the interactions between customers and is relax chilling place for people after-work.

Beer brewing produces several by-products that can be reused by many other ways, and in our design, we decided to recycle them and to maintain a sustainable living. Namely, the crushed malt can be collected and used for animal feed, the hops that is filtered out can also be collected and used again as fertilizers for the plants. The residual yeasts can be kept for some bakery to produce breads and so on.

EXTERIOR + FACADE The exterior wall along street side is composed of interlocking black bricks, glass and wire mesh for plants to grow; which allows light penetrates in and passers-by can look through into the building, particularly, the brewing house.

Also internally, fitting in with several bronze pipes running across and some wooden flexible furnitures installed on above levels. A featured wire mesh wall with plants is installed along one internal side of the building.

LAYERS This brewery has its own identity with modern details, that highlights and imitates the complexities and dynamism of the urban context, such as the split-level floor slabs are which connected by multiple sets of perforated metal staircases to imitate the interlocking layers and intervals observed throughout the city. The different functions of spaces throughout the brewery are strung together by the staircases so occupants and visitors weave in and out, enjoying the excitement of exploring all the various spaces. And, expanded the space visually by using balustrades and glass which allows light to penetrate freely, so each space can interact with their neighbors, thus improving interactivity.

Project Description

Thesis Statement

Addressing to the global water crisis, the project “The Rain.Forest” is an amalgam of a prototype water filtration system, water research institution and a local community center.

Water plays an important role in maintaining lives and healthiness in the ecosystem, however, water supply is finite and human/ industrial activities increase demand on water supply. Water scarcity has been an inevitable global issue that requires human attention and immediate action to mitigate the situation. The aims of this thesis project does not only reiterated the significance of water as a finite resource but also prompts public reflection on how they use water everyday.

By mimicing forest as a natural rainwater catchment and filter. Tree-like rainwater filtration funnels are designed to harvest, filter and store rainwater, important fresh water source. As a research and community institution, “The Rain.Forest” houses a mix of programs and encourage researchers and visitors to share ideas through walking in the complex. The opportunity platforms are placed along the circulation at various height and in different scale for for people from different disciplines for knowledge exchange.

The project proposes to explore architecture to visualize and mainly demonstrate the complex system of water filtration in order to provide and maintain a water secured community and the provide the existing ecosystem with reliable water resources.

Renders & Se In nature rainwater naturally collects, filters and stores in forest. Therefore, through mimicing forest, this thesis project will create a filtration complex which will be able to close the loop between water supply and water consumption as water will be filtered and reused.

Besides, owing to the fact that a vast content of groundwater under Anglesea could potentially be an alternative source of water supply. Instead of being parochial and devour groundwater like how people did to fossil fuel, we could potentially implement a groundwater loop system to sustain the underground water storage. Since the water in the aquifer is very delicate; only purified water should be injected back to the aquifer for future use, as we do not want to contaminate one of the major sources of clean fresh water on earth.

As Anglesea locates in a area where will suffer from flood or drought occasionally, this project intends to combat these harsh conditions through architectural and technological approaches. To alleviate and minimize the detrimental impacts on the environment, a prototype of filtration funnels will be used to harvest, filter and store rainwater locally for the community.

Anatomy of Funnel The funnels are designed to collect and filter rainwater. Collected rainwater is filtred through a slow gravitational sand filtration process and then stored at the water temple for future use.

Catchment Funnel Rainwater is collected and temporary stored at the catchment funnel and then undergo gravitational filtration process to filter rainwater.

09 Accommodation The water sustainable living prototype tries to close the loop of water supply and consumption. Residents will consump water from water temple and grey water will be filtered through the bio filtration funnel.

Functional Space Functional spaces sit at the filteration funnel at various height.

12 Bio Filtration Funnel Grey water and sewage are collected and discharge to the bio filtration funnel. Grey water will run through small planting sphere and filter as part of the bio remediation process.

The planting spheres also create multiple green spots throughout the complex.

Bio Filteration Funnel Grey water produced from the functional spaces is discharged and filter through a series of planting container by bio filtratio.

Filtered water Filtered water discharged and stored at the water temple will supply water for the research and community institution.

Internally, by promoting the co-living style, many amenities that in our apartment could be shared.

That leads to a reduction of redundant space and increase the efficiency of the use of space.

Through the promotion of Co living, INTERCHANGE various of amenities in the building. These ameniities are spaces where neighbours interact and communitate. The shared balconies and kitchen allow residents to bond with their neighbour.

Externally, glass curtain wall facade is being used to wrap up majority of the building facade. The reason doing that is to allow light to pass through so as to increase the transparency of the building and allow adjacent buildings to borrow light.

However, INTERCHANGE does not only limit interaction between people in the same building. We welcome people from the same neighbour to come and form a bigger community.

Galapagos-2046 Creating endemic Galapagos This study abroad program ran by the University San Francisco de Quito in Galapagos to explore the relationship between architecture and nature, and the implications of building inside natural ecosystems.

In a group of ten architecture and urban planning students, we tried to analysis the existing urban systems with complex adaptive system. Observatory parameters were identified by studying the current urban typoloies which allow us to create ten design principles as the design framework of creating endemic Galapagos for 2046.

The 10-principle design framework took San Cristobel, one of the habitable island in Galapagos as a showcase of how the systems can work seamlessly with one and others.

Our case study one was located at the sea front promenade with a public pier which is

the most developed tourist spot of the area.

By apply different principles, we soften the boundaries between human and nature by creating habitable boundaries to allow a certain degree of interaction betwen human and nature. Besides, we also proposed to research local materials as raw materials for loacals, such as timber from guava trees and lava rocks for building materials to make Galapagos less rely on import goods.

Since Galapagos has one of the most diverse and well preserved ecosystem in the world, we think Galapagos can be a knowledge ore where people can come and research and then export valuable knowledge around the world. We believed that by applying the design principles, the boundaries between systems can be reduced, the places can be more flexible and adaptive.

Locates between Brunswick Street and Smith Street, the new Fitzroy Community Hub is designed to create a social hub in line with the future proofing of the fitzroy community. With more young professionals and families move to Fitzroy, the community center would not only provide them with the basic community facilities but a new community experience. The hub consists of activies programs such as indoor and outdoor swimming pools, indoor ballcourt and outdoor landscape area, together with passive programs such as library, meeting

Melbourne is a bike friendly city, and Napier Street is also a main cycling pathway to connect the north and south fitzroy.

Therefore, the community hub is designed into two building blocks. The west building is the aquatic center while the east building houes the rest of the programs with outdoor landscaping. The street between two blocks is a shared path between visitors and cyclists, and also creates the focal point of the community hub.

This project is to design a commercial tower at the edge of Melbourne CBD in a group. In this project, we tried to achieve the highest possible area under the restriction of GFA calculation. To achieve that, structurally, we understood the allocation of structural elements and lift cores in the tower.

Externally, we tried to instally photovoltaic cell on the curtain wall in order to generate electricity for the building.

Concept of façade design & Design Intent Our façade design consists of two parts which are the vertical curtain wall and the shingle glazing façade. There are four vertical curtain wall placed on the NE, NW, SW & SE facing facade while the a shingle glazing façade is placed on the West facing facade along the tapered corner. The design intent of having two different façades is because we want the tapered corner to stand out from our building as it is facing the main entry. People entering our building could have a visual guideline going up along the shingle glazing.

Glazing system: - Vertical curtain wall We adopted unitized system with double glass on the curtain wall facade. Since we wanted to achieve a seamless façade, all the mullions and transoms are placed behind the glazing units.

- Shingle Glazed on the tapered corner.

On the other hand, the shingle glazing units are installed on the tapered corner which facing West. The shingle façade is a key feature of the building envelope which not only stood out from the other 4 sides but also created an visual impact for the pedestrian.

Application of Active/ Passive system: In order to achieve a certain degree of sustainability, we are required to apply both active and passive systems on our building envelope.

- Vertical Curtain wall: In terms of Active design, we tried to incorporate Photovoltaic cells in the glazing unit to generate renewable energy that contributes to the power requirements of the building. The Photovoltaic panels are placed according to a digital generated pattern on the N and W façade as this two facades could obtain the most sunlight which is the most efficient to gain solar energy. In terms of passive system, the cells create a solar shield to block excessive incomming sunlight and reduce heat gain. The patterned façade will also create a different visual experience for public.

- Shingle glazing on the tapered corner: The glazing units on the shingle facade are laminated with Photovoltaic cells to obtain maximum sunlight from 53/F and above.

We initially wanted to install the Photovolatic cells on the spandrel area of each glazing unit, however, the outcome is not effective.

Therefore, we suggested that to replace the Photovoltaic cell by installing internal roller blind which could block excessive sunlight, allow flexible internal lighting and reduce the cost of construction.

Lighting Feature In order to create an eye catching facade, we decided to install LED strip light along the bottom edge of the each glazing unit on the shingle façade. That not only creates a glowing façade at night but also lettable for advertisement to gain extra revenue.
