SUBJECT DESCRIPTION: This subject is focused on the strategic organisation of spaces to satisfy experiential ambitions, proposed use and urban context. Issues of horizontal and vertical circulation, movement sequence, hierarchy and proximity are developed through section and plan drawings and models. Aspects of privacy, enclosure, permeability, sequence and transparency in regard to individual spaces within the organisation of spaces are considered. Techniques for conveying and designing the experience of occupying and moving through space, as well as the temporal uses of different spaces, are developed.

Objective: To develop a strategy which states the desired architectural goals and helps one to apply certain design techniques. The outcomes of the strategy were evaluated by a process of iterations, which were tested against the stated aims. Programs: Bakery 2 x 1 room apartments SUSSEX ST
Strategy: To create negative and positive spaces, where the negative space is subtracted from the positive space. Negative space is thought of as space for movements and openings for daylight. Challenge: The site is enclosed on the north and south side, which minimizes the availability of natural light and makes the east and west side the only one accessible for views. Response: 1. To have a circulation path that is embedded in the tectonic of the building, preferably on its north and south sides, where it does not interrupt the view of the building’s program. 2. To have skylights that connects the indoor to the outdoor and which will create an spatial atmosphere. SITE PLAN 1:500

SOLID / VOID STRATEGY “We move through negative spaces and dwell in positive spaces” Strategy: Creating negative space applying a subtracting strategy: Volumes of negative space were designed for movement and natural light. The criteria of the `negative` spaces were dictated by the program’s requirements and the challenges presented by the site, for example the building volume being enclosed on two sides. The `negative` spaces were then extracted from the `positive` space circulation and skylights for the different programs.

Circulation: The aim was to create a fluid movement that “wraps” around the positive spaces and that were located around the outer edge, facing the adjacent buildings, allowing for maximal use of the facades that were facing the streets.

Skylights: The volumes and objectives of the different programs and the possibilities to either push or pull the adjacent volumes were dictated by the allocations of the skylights. The skylights allowed natural light to reach into spaces creating an ambient light source, while still preserving the room’s privacy as seen, for example, on the fourth level for the shower.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTION: This subject introduces students to the concepts of building and architectural performance. Recognising that architectural projects are mediators of environmental variables, as well as contributors to environmental change, it asks students to examine the consequences of this in design. Students consider both qualitative and quantitative methods for assessing the environmental and social performance of architecture. Along with the techniques for using energy and material resources efficiently, the subject also considers other aspects of performance that might be addressed through concepts of interactivity, responsiveness and experiential design

SUBJECT DESCRIPTION: The aim of the subject considers architecture as an intervention within the broader field of an urban or other landscape. Beyond the design of an object, the subject is concerned with relationships between buildings, and between the infrastructure and landscapes in which they are situated. The brief asks students to account for the many competing interests in the design of any public or commercial building or space and to understand the field of negotiation in which the architect makes architectural proposals. Questions of architectural form making are raised in relationship to the interplay of representation and identity, the programmatic and structural organisation of buildings and their location within the urban field. The site for the masterplan is North Ryde station located in North Sydney, and is a development project that the Sydney government has instigated.

Objective: Develop a masterplan that accommodates residential, commercial and industry in North Ryde station, north in Sydney. The main objectives are to connect the precincts to the existing North Ryde station and to explore how the commercial, residential and industry can interrelate. Furthermore, the working process and its method were highly weighted, learning to work with constantly changing groups and to take/loose ownership over ones work. The working method was based on an iteration process where different groups presented their work and its strategies. Then all students voted over which plan that had the best ideas and the most potential, leading to the winning projects progressing through to the next round and the groups were then merged together.

Strategies: - A main circulation “spine” that connects the different lots to each other and to the existing train station. - A modular volume system that can be added on, to accommodate for future growth. - Placements of volume to accommodate for recreational space and a more open atmosphere. This site came with a long list of problems; • The area is completely dead at all times of the day and night. • North Ryde Station is completely empty except for the few moments when people living in the surrounding suburbia make the trek across the motorways. • The site itself has nothing to offer- it is located central to a cemetry, an industrial site which is active during the daytime and there is no attraction drawing the residents to cross Epping Rd onto the site.

Diagram 04. Public spaces have also been strategically placed on the site. There is a dominant spine that connects Macquarie Park with North Ryde station via the placement of public spaces along Waterloo Rd and continuing onto the site.

Diagrams 02. Introduction of a ‘spine’ from Waterloo Rd onto the site to create a direct network, it allows for a secondary east-west connection to manifest off it which is further defined by the building footprint and the public spaces around the buildings. The spine becomes a highly influential mediator of connectivity and the main strategy driving this master plan.

Diagrams 01. Another issue with the site we had discovered is the fact that there is no east-west transport connection. This further isolates in particular the residential sector from using the train station as there is no direct transport to North Ryde station- it is much easier to voyage north to Macquarie Park Train station rather than crossing the M2 to get to North Ryde Station.

Infrastructure has been put into place to trigger future population growth for 100 years and dramatic intensification of the density acts as a catalyst for future change in Sydney. A strategy for mediation is proposed between the average Australian’s desire to own a plot of land and Australian’s population growth trends by providing high-density living with large public, green spaces.
Overall the project is an interplay of the present nature of the buildings and how in time the future growth in population and densities will allow for growth of character into the site as more layers will be introduced, so the proposed design is a intermediary for ongoing active addition.
SUBJECT DESCRIPTION: This subject develops skills in the integration of diverse aspects of building towards more resolved and coherent design proposals. The integration of, for example, construction and material choices, building performance, building services, planning, formal expression and urban context area developed. Techniques for development clear design strategies in response to complex briefs and ambitions are explored, including the use of diagrams, overlays and the presentation of alternatives. Through successive design iterations students learn the ability to control, test and manipulate heterogeneous and competing design parameters. The relevancy and clarity of the process of design development is considered as an integral part of the final outcome.

Objective: Preserve some of the main strategies of the North Ryde station Master prescient and integrated it into the proposal. Integrating the building to aspects/concepts arising when examining the design challenges through different scales, for example looking at how the building relates to both the road and pedestrian network and examine how they can effect each other. Strategies: -Integrate the spine to the building and use the spine as a design strategy to develop the building circulation system. - Connecting the building to its surrounding by bringing the swimming pool outside, hence creating an outdoor recreation area. - Connecting the different program by having a circulation that intersect and guides one through the different programs. - visually connecting the programs and bringing natural light in with a transparent cube (swimming pool) in the middle of the massing.

SUBJECT DESCRIPTION: This subject takes the form of a series of case studies demonstrating how the integration of construction systems as part of the design development has been achieved in a series of outstanding buildings of various scales. Methodologies and analytical tools to enable the performance criteria of the various elements and components making up the buildings' fabric are developed and assessed. Central issues involved in this assessment of fabric and environmental performance are life cycle and cost benefit analysis, which include issues of embedded energy, the fabric's overall impact on the building's operating energy budget and any marginal costs that may be associated with achieving an energy efficient built environment.
