Studio Water - Year 2 The brief was to design a Boat House / Restaurant that would be sited where the existing Studley park Boat House was. We were enabled to design with the influence of a specific modernist master according to each class. I was given Le Corbusier. This was the first real studio that opened my eyes to the possibilities of architecture and the slow development of a style, of concrete and form.
Studio Fire B - Year 3 The studio’s brief was to design a new gallery for the OutrÊ gallery franchise. The site was situated in the heart of Brunswick Sydney Road, my decision to envelop a harsh and brutal treatment to the design was to isolate the art and make the art the focus of the building. The facade was panelled in a perforated concrete modular shading system which would only let barley any light into the spaces to protect the art and remove the occupant from the outside world. This studio ran along side Fire studio A.
Studio Fire A - Year 3 The brief for the studio was to design an archive building for the University of Melbourne, the site was also in Brunswick just off Sydney Road. The Building was also developed with the same Perforated Concrete Building Modules to limit the light exposure with in the building to protect the archived stocks. Furthermore the building was designed to be a hulking mass to implore people to respect the building before them and respond in an overwhelmed fashion, making them unable to comprehend the mass before them. The the three buildings each housed different functions all connecting via a series of sky walkways allowing the occupants to revere the magnitude as they explore. To continue the grandeur of the building all the building functions were elevated to elevate the ground floor and bring in a forest conjuring some green space with in the heart of Brunswick.

Studio Concrete Dreams - Year 4 The studio’s brief was to re-develop over a dis-used Cement Works factory in Geelong. Site had massive 20m high relics of the old Cement Works, these silos towered over in comparison and there was no human scale. We were tasked to turn the site into a contemporary art space and a way to bring community engagement back to the area. My approach to the brief was to turn the site into almost a convent for artists on a scale near to the NGV, having living quarters for 32 artists to work and create a community around the gallery spaces and the central sculptural garden which doubled as the cloister. The idea of a modern convent was key to the design process as it motivated the design of the main gallery in a sort of cathedral like form as well the massiveness of the other buildings, re-developing and re-using the old and breathing a new life into the disused silos.

Construction Design - Year 4 Partner - Kai Yang We were tasked to design and build an office building with a floor plate efficiency of higher than 80%, was both structural and sustainably designed; and with in our own design considerations. The building that we came up with has a floor plate efficiency of 83%, using a post tensioned concrete structural system we were able to create a free working environment with in as well as include solar and passive shading devices to deal with the environment. The building was designed to show of the structure that it was constructed with hence the overall heavy concrete nature of the final.
Studio Gift to the City IV - Year 4 The studio I am currently enrolled in at the moment, we are tasked to design 4 galleries based on past and present artist interviews, dealing with a particular work of theirs. Then work outward and design 4 accompanying museums based off of an architect interview and intervene on existing museums, for the galleries to fit with in. Then like a Russian doll we are now designing the world that this all fits with in.
Assume Vision Astro Focus Abusada São Paulo Mitchell Ransome
Just like the city a similar loss of identity occurs. One walks through the scattered remains of the art. Sprawled like the City’s uncontrollable thrist for more. A vision of what was. Rising to escape. Unable to see the bottom. Unable to see the city. São Paulo is lost. Fall.
Ciccillo Matarazzo Biennial Oscar Niemeyer - 1957 Mitchell Ransome
At first growth is good. An unforseen gentrification of the streets. Hinging on the violence of the city. Rebelling against the capitalist agenda. Look upon the lost city.
