Hel lo! My name is Elizabeth Barber, but call me Libby. I’ve recently graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor Degree majoring in Architecture. This is a collection of past projects that I have done in the past 5 years studying Architecture. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it.

E SP R I T MULTI-STOREY LIVING
In 1964, Commonwealth Crescent was established as the first ever satellite town in Singapore. The town is filled with a sense of nostalgia. It’s residents are mainly made up of pioneers; people who have lived there ever since the town was established with their families. This project’s aim was to create new multi-storey residential block in the heart of this historical hub for both the new and older residents so both genrations can communicate and mingle together as a community. To achieve an environment that both generations can enjoy together, the common dead corridor space found in a typical HDB flat was re-imagined and re-created to form a space with a dedicated function.

A quintessential architectural icon of Singapore is the typical Singapore shophouse. It’s origins can be traced back to China; where many chinese immigrants has initially come from and now settled on this small island, particularly Chinatown. It is found across the island, but Chinatown is made out of these shophouses. Walking along the streets of Chinatown, you will notice that all these characteristics of different shophouses come together to form an unbalance rhythm. A rhythm of walls, pitched roofs, alley ways come together to bring you Chinatown. The aim of this project was to create an open office space for the community of millenial freelancers and SMEs (small and medium enterprises). Using the physical characteristics found throughout the lanes in Chinatown, the building was formed to represent the rhythm of shophouses found throughout Chinatown with spaces that mimiced the famous alleyways found within the area.

THE FO R E ST OPEN OFFICE SPACE
This studio introduced us to the world of parametrics using Grasshopper. With knowledge, we were tasked to create a pavillion that helps overcome the negative characteristics that I have relating to a chakra with a system process found in mother nature.The structure had to be 3D printable on site using environmentally sustainable materials. The negative characteristics that I identified relating to the heart chakra was the lack of emphathy I had as a person. So to counter that, the pavillion was created with the intention of having a grotesque form by growing mushrooms and moss on the exterior so people will band together and make their way through this maze into the center. The center of this pavillion is a place of refuge surround with moss: a safe haven.

CLO I STE R HIGH SCHOOL VSE CENTRE & SPORTS COMPLEX
Cloisters are a historical architectural icon that are still being used in educational buildings and temples. The use of a cloisters is to seperate spaces and bring in a courtyard of green and serenity. In this case, the use of a cloister in this educational building helps seperate distinct spaces of play and study. This is so students in their last few years of high school can really sat that they’ve worked hard, played hard, and studyed hard. The main goal was to aid students relax and de-stress in their last year of high school. The addition of greenery around the building and it’s inner courtyard can help to students re connect with mother nature and ease eye-strain during this trying period. Light and shadows in the building also come into play by creating a suiting ambiance and environment for students to study in peace with no distractions.
