ROMANCE
A LOVE AFFAIR WITH MACHINES PEDESTESTRIAN & VE- HICULAR ACCESS
THIS PROJECT COMMENCED WITH THE NOTION OF SPEED BEING THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE BARLOWS INTERESTS, BUSINESS AND LIFESTYLE. HOWEVER, SPEED WAS JUST A REPETITIVE CLIMAX AND A RESULT OF A CONSTANT ROMANCE WITH MACHINES. FROM AVIATION TO AUTOMOBILES THE BARLOWS INTERESTS BECAME AN OBSESSIVE TESTAMENT AND EPITOMISED AN UNDYING LOVE FOR THEIR MACHINES.
ST
THE BUILDING EXPLORES THE IDEA OF ROMANCE WITH REGARDS TO SPACE AND INTIMACY. PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SPACES ARE DEFINED BY THE SITE CREATING TWO DISTINCT VOLUMES IN WHICH THE ROMANCE OF MACHINES CAN BE EXPERIENCED AND ENHANCED. THE PUBLIC DOMAIN EXPLORES OPEN SPACES CREATING PIAZZAS IN THE AIR AND PLATFORMS FOR SOCIAL INTERACTION. THE PRIVATE DOMAIN IS THE SHOWROOM WHICH IS NESTLED BETWEEN THE HIGH RISES OF LATROBE ST CREATING A SECLUDED ENCLOSURE ELEVATED FROM THE GROUND REINFORCING THE IDEA OF INTIMACY THROUGH PRIVACY. ITS FORM HAS ORGANIC ORIGINS RESEMBLING CHAMBERS AND ORGANS OF THE BODY. THE CHAMBER LIKE SPACE EVOKES A SENSE OF ENDANGERMENT AND MYSTERY MOSTLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE ATTRIBUTES OF ROMANCE AND PRIVATE NICHES IN WHICH CARS IN THE SHOWROOM WOULD BE EXPERIENCED. ITS MONUMENTAL ELEVATION MAKES IT ALMOST SACRED. REFLECTING ITS IMAGE DOWN BELOW TO THE WATER FEATURE AND BEYOND INTO THE CAR PARK. THE CIVIC ARENA BELOW IT IS AN OPEN URBAN SPACE SURROUNDING A POND WHICH ENHANCES THE SACRIDITY OF SPACE . THE BUILDING BECOMES AN IMAGE AND A SIGN, A LIVING EXAMPLE OF THE ROMANCE AND INTIMATE RELATIONS THAT ONE HAS WITH THEIR MACHINES.

ROMANCE OF MACHINES CBD, MELBOURNE ARCHITECTURE STUDIO 4
The final architectural studio for my degree would be my response and architectural narrative of, client A.G and A.A Barlow. Both of whom have eccentric adventurous persona. The brief states the clients intentions for a car showroom, service centre, a 300 lot car park and other amenities to be located on a site within the grid of the Melbourne CBD. From our initial diseciton of the brief we had narrowed 5 words which would effectively reflect their lifestyle, personality and complexity from which one word would be chosen to direct our exploration to the final outcome. The noun ‘speed’ Initially spoke volumes of the Barlow’s association with automobiles and their hunger for adventure and lifestyle. But after careful investigation it was extrapolated that speed is a climax or result of an affair with machines. The romance of machines, holistically engages with the idea of Barlow’s deep affection and relationship that they have with machines. It is a focal point of their business, lifestyle and culture. The notion of ones romance with their machine in particular automobiles is not alien to human culture but something that is apparent and very real. The design is centred upon the initial massing diagrams and conceptual models and the idea of ‘space’ being a vital aspect of romance in an architectural sense. The idea of space was developed from the initial conceptual model of Barlow’s heart and a car motor being intrinsically infused, becoming his driving passion. This was extrapolated further from my of study of cities and their spaces with regards to urban design and also the context of the site, the CBD and the Grid and how that is applicable to romance. Public and Private space juxtapose in many respects but similarly explore the notion of romance which become the two opposing masses in the design. The final outcome reflects the idea of a sanctuary for the love of machines. The external skin which is almost a tease from exterior views as it reveals partial imagery of the building, luring the visitors in through curiosity but also acts as a envelope and veil that provides privacy for the showroom levels which is the most sacred private space modelled upon the idea of the chamber which came from the idea of the heart and intimate space. The primary entrance at La Trobe St. Is an open public space below the elevated showroom with a reflection pool that becomes a space for visitors to fall in love with the building itself and not just what Is contained within it. The service centre and other amenities such as the cafe and administration quarters are on separate open aired platforms/levels that form the public realm of the site. The Skin surrounding the public realm has lesser perforations and is spaced out further for more light and views segmenting the romantic views out from the CBD from the rear of the site.

FROZEN SYMPHONY CITY OF WYNDHAM ARCHITECTURE STUDIO 3 CONSTRUCTION LOGIC
Our third year architecture studio required us to engage with the interface grasshopper and as a result to generate an EOI as why we would should be chosen to design an installation on the princess freeway in Weribee. By proving that using parametric tools such as grasshopper can achieve multiple iterations and design considerations with regard to optimal design outcomes was our main criteria. My approach was to address this brief with a hypothetical situation and to question how advanced digital technology and tools coupled with innovative materials can create an ever changing identity for a city.
RULE BASED FORM
Wyndham can be perceived as an organism; which is formed by an intricate agglomeration of interdependent systems. These systems are evolving and restructuring, encoding Wyndham’s true identity, that is one of continual development. The proposition of an ice installation will be an annual event in the Wyndham City’s yearly calendar. The installation will materialize and capture the evolving identity of Wyndham will be an annual event in the City. Its purpose is to reveal a relatable identity for the people and the municipality giving its own distinct code and pattern in a 3 dimensional form. Ice becomes a media for exploring and Wyndham City’s yearly calendar decoding the intricacy of Wyndham’s systems. It will generate a unique experience that can be seen from passing vehicles through a multimedia interface, extending Wyndham and capturing the evolving identity beyond its rural scales.
.
The form which is generated by a rule based algorithm, organizes the Archimedian solids which are interdependent components that will become the prominent form in representing the systems comprised within Wyndham’s network. The idea is not to create a new identity, but rather reveal an existing image of Wyndham City hidden within its intricate complex network of systems that make up its collective identity. Something unique only to the region. Its divergent MODELING and emergent traits will promote the dynamism and growth of Wyndham as an emerging municipality, one which strongly reflects theDIGITAL attributes of the city. Its CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION PROCESS PROCESS documented gradual deformation and dissipation will become an event to be reflected upon.

PROJECT MAYA Landscape Studio 3 Project Maya was the Final intervention for a 2nd year Landscape studio that primarily focused on grading, slopes and how the landscape can be manipulated, through various techniques to achieve an aesthetic appearance and compositional form. The Farnsworth House the architectural master piece that was used as the pavilion for which the intervention would be associated with on site. The brief required a landscape intervention that used the techniques of cut, fill, cut & fill and water retention as a means of creating a response to the site and the pavilion. The landscape was remoulded from its linear constriction to a organic formation in the landscape. The intention was to create a notion of transparency, illusion and integration. These ideas directly relate to the Farnsworth House and how it asserts a sense of transparency and integration of the landscape and its surroundings through its fenestrations. This idea was extrapolated to one word being illusion. The notion of the landscape being able to elude its visitors and create a surreal experience was my focus for this project. The pathways and ramps deflect from each other in a distortion of the landscape. Ramps descend beneath pools of water and ponds of retained rain water create a mirage of reflection and constant movement.
UNEARTHING Architecture Studio 1 ‘Unearthing’ was the first Architecture studio project. The site is located at Herring island, or what was used to be known as Como island. The brief required a discovery center that would contain several exhibition spaces that would be open to the public. These exhibition spaces would exhibit the islands history, geology and current usages as an art park. The notion of layering and strata was my key focus in the design and program of the building. By studying the strata at Herring Island and the types arrangement of soil profiles aided my massing conceptualization of the spaces which gave rise to the form of the building. The circulation highlights the layering of the programs and functions of the building. The east and western facades would be cladded in ceramic tiles and would have thermal mass properties creating a cool and controlled temperate climate within the building. The spaces were large voids that would correlate with the monumentality of its exterior within.
MONSTER OF HOOKE SummerMake Studio, AA, London Our task for the AA SummerMake Course at Hooke Park was to create/design a musical instrument. Three teams of 5 had to design a musical instrument with the intentions of playing it in symphony of each other. The site was a sloped open valley over looking the Dorset country side and bordered by 40ft pine trees creating an intriguing acoustic space. The intent of this course is to prompt and nurture design without drawing but through resolution of construction as you progress through constructions. By making numerous iterations and prototypes we came to a final outcome of a tower like structure. Ats its peak it would have a turbine that will harness the power of the wind to move the internal gears that will create an inconsistent and ever changing roaring sound. The design is centred upon sound which would be driven and derived from string and percussion. Studying the futurists inventions and their revolutionary sound-box, the intoner, gave us insight as to how to generate sound in an acoustically sound enclosure which can be amplified through a diaphragm and external cone. We then took this technology and expanded upon experience and how the entire design could be an instrument it self. The image on the right shows the 5m high structure which is siting on poles has a semi enclosed space beneath the gear box where sound would be amplified out. Coupled with the echoing and reverberation the sound is screechy and quirky, it sounds like a creature. Upon first glance the cladding feature which became a decorative element give a false impression of a creature with numerous legs walking along the forest floor at Hooke Park.
‘A 20 MINUTE CITY’ Festival of Ideas Competiiton Winner, The 20 Minute City was a competition led by the University of Melbourne during its festival of ideas week. The brief focused on Melbourne and urged entrants to envision the city in 2050, tackling issues such as population growth, housing, employment, transportation, infrastructure, energy etc. Our proposal was based on extensive research and statistics about Melbourne’s current infrastructure and future growth patterns. We wanted to put forth a manifesto for the city in the way we should approach the next 40 years of growth. We proposed the removal of cars and focused on public transport network, with cars of the road, the average Australian would be saving $7000 and more every year, annual savings of around $31 billion. Money that would be put toward the health, education and public needs. We envisaged a decentralisation of the CBD by creating satellite nodes, activity hubs in already well established suburbs that would be connected by high-speed rail and a new transport network, creating a 20 minute city. A City where all the essential needs will be accessible within a 20 minute time frame by either walking or public transport.

Romance of Machines Model Architecture Studio 4 A laser cut model, which has a contoured/layered form modeled exhibiting the complex volume that is contained within the structure. The skin of the building acts as a shading device as well as a veil, as seen in the model photos of the different lighting and shadow conditions created by the ellaborate skin pattern.
Frozen Symphony Material Studies Architecture Studio 3 Material and weathering effects was amoung many tests that were conducted as part of material studies. It was interesting to see the effects of weather and time, this became a driving force behind the conceptual exploration for that particular studio. Ice was used as a medium for mmodel making. Plastic resin was used as mould for the ice tests. Model making became a tool of exploration and testing.
Model Making At HASSELL HASSELL During my year out at HASSELL I have had the opportunity to make and engage with various kinds of model making. The pink foam models, were a few of many model made for the conceptual stage for a perfomance arts centre. Model making informed the final form and massing. I have learnt that model making can be used as an efective tool in the design process, whether it be form exploration or massing studies, detail studies, material studeis or even scale studies. One such model was the urban RainForrest, which was an interesting explorative model of a forrest within a forecourt of a building.
FLINDERS S T STATION INTERNATIONAL DESIGN COMPETITION PHASE 2 SUBMISSION HASSELL
HERZOG & DE MEURON The State Government of Victoria had staged an international design competition, seeking innovative design proposals that would reinvigorate the historic Flinders Street Station, improve its transport function and unlock the urban design and development potential of the precinct. The station is one of Australia’s most important heritage sites and one of the nation’s busiest train stations. These factors create a complex mix of demands and priorities on the site and its wider precinct. The competition therefore requires a design response that balances boldness of vision with a careful attention to the many opportunities and challenges of the station. A rejuvenated Flinders Street Station and precinct will act as an urban catalyst, playing a critical strategic role in enhancing essential transport services and integrating an appropriate mix of uses for a growing city. It will also play a vital role in strengthening connections between the city and the station, and beyond to the Yarra River and its expanding arts and sports precincts to the south and south-east. The design competition aims to set an international benchmark in heritage conservation, adaptive re-use, sustainable urbanism and highquality architecture and urban design, adding to a legacy of award winning public buildings and spaces in Melbourne. To summarise our proposal, the proposed new concourse is a reaction of the horizontality with respect to the fabric of the old station and historic administration building. Creating new civic spaces and increased amenity to the transport function, whislt creating opportunity to extend the arts precinct with the establishment of the Oceanic and aboriginal Art Gallery.
VISUALISATIONS DONE BY HASSELL
MSLE Melbourne School of Land and Environment Within the compounds of The University of Melbourne Parkville Campus is the faculty of MSLE, which is located on Tin Alley and Royal Parade. This project was a strategic brief to ascertain the feasibility of relocating the faculties regional campuses at Parkville. The project was constrained by 2 existing buildings, a 70’s refurbished, 30’s newly refurbished non heritage building and also the Systems Garden, a 180 year old botanical garden. With extensive analysis and research conducted, various massing and physical model studies were done to explore the possibilities of the projects principle objectives. The outcome resulted in partial demolishment, reuse of existing space and new build. With a focus on the effective utilisation of labs, workspace and office the proposed building is configured to respond to these spatial necessities
GPAC Geelong Performing Ars Centre Located in the City of Geelong, the performing arts centre will be a focal point for the arts in Geelong.This project was at a conceptual design stage. Having joined this project halfway through the stage of design process, there was fixed program being the two existing theatres and given the topography of the site reconfiguration of these spaces was not viable. Hence we conducted extensive model making and mass studies to ascertain a suitable envelope that will encapsulate the form whislt being respectful to its surrounding context. The final design was based and informed on model studies.
720 Bourke St Mediank The project was centred upon the idea of revitalising the Docklands area of Melbourne by introducing a environmental building a leader in its own right that would resemble and represent the image of the client Medibank. The building would have an actively green facade with a big emphasis on sustainable work practices. 720 Bourke St, was in construction and design phase when I had joined the project. I was actively involved in the documentation process and had been given the opportunity to engage with several aspects of the design and construction process. This was a very insightful and fruitful experience.
