AND Y DUAN My name is Hongchang Duan, but goes by Andy. I am in my final semester of my undergraduate degree studying to be an architect. I am currently looking for a full -time position for one or two years before commencing my Post-Graduate degree.
Full Name:
Hongchang (Andy) Duan
Birth:
2 July 1995 Chinese
Three years of being an architecture student has allowed me to progress and form my own approach to architetcure. Although I heavily enjoy speculative projects, where real life questions could be fantasised and entertained, my main interest lie with exploration of materiality to enrich experience. I wish to expose myself to more real life projects, and working towards the goal of being an architect.

School After Classroom Year 3 Capstone Studio (ONGOING)
Tutor: Sarah Song
Based on Waldorf education theory “Environment is a pupil’s third teacher”, this project explores the spaces outside of the traditional classroom context, and how those spaces could possibly aid student’s studying differently based on their preferences and the spatial quality of the space. The theory “Environment is a pupil’s third teacher” applies largely to the early learning or primary school education, where the “Learning” is largely based on perceiving the environment around the pupil or doing hands-on activities. For high school student where the studying is largely based on a prescribed syllabus, the “Environment as a teacher” quote should be interpreted differently. In this case the environment is seen as a tool for student to utilise to enrich themselves after formal learning has finished.

Chamber of Ruins Year 2 Studio Earth Final Project
Tutor: Scott Woods
Chamber of Ruins is an speculative approach to the idea of architectural wasteland. Situated on the artificial island on the Yarra River, this project explores the concept of ruins, and the narratives that suggested by the architecture and materiality. The project suggest an alternate reality of the Herring Island, where mass concrete structure has been left behind by previous occupance, and now only consists of ruins. The Chambers are half sunken into the ground, as if after years, the once standing structure has been buried, what the chambers have seen, and what has been buried remained unkown. The concrete-rendered air, the solemnity and monumentality would resonates with the occupants, of their past, their secrete.

Boathouse By the Yarra Year 2 Studio Water Final Project
Tutor: Heather Mitcheltree
Boathouse by the Yarra is the final project for the second year Studio Water, inspired by the work of the modernist architect Louis Kahn. The project is a boathouse with restaurant and cafe, found on Alexandra Gardens, next to the Yarra River. The project is a contemporary take of Kahn’s work, heavily influenced by his use of materiality, ways of planning, and my personal interpretation of the urban landscape surrounding the site. The site, the Alexandra Gardens, is seen as an escape to the surrounding high rise buildings in Melbourne CBD. It then provided me with the idea of ritual and parade, with the High Rises as the “Audience”. Louis Kahn’s distinctive use of monolith aided the realisation of the concept, renders the project with a sense of monumentality.

Studio Air: Mimesis Year 3 Grasshopper based Studio
Tutor: Christorpher Ferris Part B in collaboration with AMOS NG TZE WAY
Studio Air: Mimesis was an exploration to the possibility of using Grasshopper as a tool, to assist/intervene wild life in Merri Creek architecturally. The studio was split in 2 parts, Part A was a speculative project, imagining the rise of a corporation named Merri Life Corp, where they claim they “scientifically� discovered the Eggs of the egg-laying mammal Echidna possess vast nutritious values. They would then commision to design an instrument that will facilitate with the egg-laying process, harvest the eggs, and eventually be on the market for sale. The project was presented in the format of an advertisement for the egg, with an promotional video done with the aid of Unity game engine. Part B was a experimentation with the possibility of accelerating the incubation of Blue Banded Bees with architectural installations. The project is a series of incubation chambers, forming a canopy-like structure over the courtyard of Abbotsford Convent. We imagine that the Convent will host regular group activities under the canoy, the resulted heat from the activities will rise to the canopy, heating the incubation chambers and eventually accelerate the hatching process. As part of the project, a prototype of the incubation chamber is realised through a series of digital fabrication process.
