FOOTSCRAY PARK SHELTER

A MEASURED DRAWING

2022, MELBOURNE SCHOOL OF DESIGN

Project type Park shelter

Location Footscray Park Software used Hand drawing, Photogrammetry

A transient space located on top of a hill in Footscray park, there decays the belongings of a neglected piece of architecture that maintains its symmetrical geometry since the 19th Century.

In its simple structure, I begin noticing that with careful measurements of the stone masonry columns, we can begin to see millimeter increments between the dimensions of the columns from one another - only to strengthen the material property of concrete mortar, which shrinks over time since the construction of this picnic shelter, and we can foresee its inevitable deterioration as it continues to be exposed to the weather.

THE ACT OF EMBRACING DAMAGE

2019, DEAKIN UNIVERSITY

Project type

Communal

Location

Kesennuma, Japan

Software used Hand-drawn Ink on Vellum Paper, Rhino3D, Revit

The project is grounded as a response to the Tsunami and Earthquake event that occurred to the land and people of Kesennuma, Japan in 2011. It challenges the spatial configuration of two traditional Japanese programmes, by striving to integrate the two functions into the essential structure which brings about comfort and assurance, the seawall. The building presents itself overtime by acting as a barrier when a future tsunami were to return to the shores of Kesennuma.

FISHING PORT

WOODWORKING SPACES

12M SEA WALLS INTEGRATED SPACES SITE LOCATION

KOI PONDS/FARMS

A home for koi fishes that sits between the ‘land’ and ‘sea’ representing its contribution to both natural contextual forces or elements.

FISHING PORTS

To encourage the ‘inevitable’ multi-purpose use of the timber platform.

KOI FARMS + SHELTERS

The ‘shelters’ closely follow the activity of the specific programmes and the required ‘spaces’ for these programmes to thrive.

The koi farm houses ‘ponds’ to store and maintain the koi fishes with a timber deck platform that runs diagonally to allow the farmers to walk through and maintain these cultural fishes.

FISHING PORT

WOODWORKING SPACES

The ‘artisans of the land’ sit parallel to their ‘artisans of the sea’ encouraging the preservation of these Japanese crafts for future industry within the land of Kesennuma.

A conceptual drawing that envisions spatial quality by documenting ‘intention’ and ‘accident’ through integrating shifting Kumiko wooden panels.

exploded axonometric

A more refined understanding of spatial quality and shelter which utilises Kumiko wooden panels as the important element towards architectural identity.

PLANAR ACADEMY OF ELECTRONICS

RHYTHMIC OBSTRUCTIONS AND PLAYFUL LIBERATION

2021, MELBOURNE SCHOOL OF

Project type

Educational, Community Location Hackney, East London Software used Rhino 3D, AutoCAD

DESIGN

The Academy of Electronics offers a learning and teaching place for the FOCUS E15: a community group of solo mothers and their children from squatting communities in Hackney, London.

It balances between the planes of training and teaching – as Rhythmic Obstructions; surrounded by a journey of play – as playful liberation. Central to this awakens the forum echoed to become one that belongs to all generations for voices to be heard, for protests and concerns to be said aloud: yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
