PHOTOGRAPHY
Photography has always been a passion of mine in addition to Architec ture. Over the past few years I have had the privilege to travel to different countries which in turn, has allowed me to visit a number of iconic Archi tectural buildings. One of my favourite trips was my recent trip to Japan in 2016, where discovered my love of Japanese modern architecture. like to use photography as a means to document and capture the beauty of architecture and scenery around me. Photography to me, is a tool that I use to capture captivating moments in time which then becomes a curated form of storytelling.

Upon the search for a new future ornamnet, as a group we discussed how digital systems and devices map human behavioural patterns, spaces and ornamenta tion to identify new approaches between structures and ornament. The search revolved around the parameters of digital interaction with media networks and mapping systems formed by individual patterns amongst a city’s

proposal is a continuous display that extrudes from the Great Hall of the National Gallery of Victoria. The display takes the organic, the wisteria vine and uses a digital system to manipulate the way it grows and takes control of its host, being the structural support that it uses. The timeframe of the proposal is continuous. Hypothetically, the digital system ultimately enhances the vine so that it can grow to manipulate and dominate the existing built form.

ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 5 I ARC3001 MONASH UNIVERSITY SEMESTER 1 2018 TUTOR - HANNES MCNAMARA
The musuem is split up mainly by two categories with the top two main floors displaying air transportation and the ground floor displaying ground transportation objects. From the lobby, visitors ascend a staircase to the spacious exhibition area of the first floor where they can gain an initial overview of the impression collection. The musuem aims to create a sensuous, space age effect on the visitors. This is achieved by the way in which the musuem consists mainly of overhanging large platforms with large open spaces and overlap between floors, which also along with the changes in height (due to the Musuem’s angualr triangular form), allows for objects being displayed to be viewed from different heights and angles. This gives off a lightweight and airy feeling which coincedes with the space age effect that the Musuem achieves.

The Museum of Future Transport is a transportation museum which showcases futuristic transportation vehicles as well as dis playing up-and-coming proposals for future transport. The key idea behind my concept was to create a dynamic innovative form which reflects the innovative and futuristic objects that are displayed inside. The form is angular and eye-catching, it contrasts sharply from the exisiting heritage building (Hawthorn Tram Musuem) which will draw visitors in to view the Musuem. The Musuem strives to be a place to provide inspiration to visitors and its form reflects the innovation of the objects displayed and its future foreward philosophy.

For this project, we were expected to redesign Building H at Monash University’s Caulfield Campus in order to make Building H become a more energy efficient building. Together as a group, we have redesigned Building H by utilizing a wavy vertical shading system for the building’s facade. We decided to use this approach as vertical shading works well, performance wise and aesthetically as the shimmering form and dynanism would catch the attention of nearby cars and passerbys. At the south side of the building, we decided to do with less vertical shading in comparision with the north facing side (as the North Facade receives the most sunlight) while the south side receives little sunlight. We have also added a skywell into the south side. This is because by doing so, this allows more sunlight to permeate the interior of Building H as well as allowing for more ventilation and air circulation to occur in the building. PLAN
ON THE SOUTH SIDE, A LARGE VOID IS FORMED RUNNING ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND FLOOR. THIS ACTION HELPS VENTILATE AND LIGHT SPACES. FURTHERMORE, ON THE WESTER SIDE WE INTRODUCE A ECO-GARDEN WITH SITTING AREAS SHADED BY A LARGE SOLAR PANEL AND WATER COLLECTION TANKS.

ANALYSIS
From the analysis, we were able to determine that our redesigned building performed generally well, and is a much greater improvement from the current existing Building H (Initial analysis gathered on how the existing building performed orginally showed a lot of sunlight and radiation coming into the building). Our redesign of Building H has greatly reduced this. The Ground floor and Level 7 performed similarly to Level 4.

This space here (as shown below), acts as an outdoor garden place which is specifically used as an interaction area and a place to take a rest from work. We have utilized solar panels to use as shading, but also to collect light energy from the sun. We have also utilized water tanks in this space. The water tanks will be used to filter out water, which will provide a source of drinkable water for the buidling. The water will also be used to water the outside vegetation growing over the facade.

The plants we decided to use were a combination of Star Jasmine, Bouganvilles and Wisteria as they were plants which shed during the winter which allows for more sunlight to enter the building during the winter months. However, the plants provide a source of shade and a natural way of cooling the building down during the summer.

In the Pier to Pier studio, we have utilized small scale architectural interventions in the form of 5 temporary pavilions which aim to promote the town’s ferry network. Each pavilion has different pro grams in the form of Gathering space, Ticketing Area, Info Centre, Kiosk and Sauna (last pavilion is the program of any choice). The pavilions are also used to further establish and reflect the identity of the town which it is located in.

As Melbourne is becoming an increasingly populous city (with population growth expecting to in crease to 7.7 million by 2051), traffic congestion is starting to become a very real issue. Because of this, alternative forms of transport were considered in order to reduce congestion in freeways and also in train networks. One of these proposed solutions was to utilize a Ferry service which aims to provide a network between various bayside locations around Port Phillip Bay.
TASK 07 EXTRACTING STRATEGIES
Drawing from the observations of Rosebud, is apparent that Rosebud’s shopping precinct Ne pean Highway is oversaturated with large signage and billboards that are employed over rather bland buildings in an attempt to grab the public’s attention. Hence, in the design of my pavilions, decided to employ the opposite strategy from what is observed along Rosebud’s Nepean Highway. Instead of adorning the pavilions with large signage which clearly define their different programs, chose to leave my pavilions unmarked. By leaving the pavilion unmarked, this creates a sense of mystery which will inevitably evoke a sense of interest and curiosity amongst the public. The pavilions also come with slightly varying forms, each with thei defining features which make one pavilion stand out from another, further adding to the interest. This encourages the public to explore the pavilions as well as to be interactive with it as the lack of signage would draw people in due to their curiosity to see what the pavilions display inside. Furthermore, because the pavilions are not all grouped together, but instead strategically placed sparingly across key positions along the pier, therefore people would not encounter the pavilions all at once but rather one at a time as all the pavilions slowly come into view. Hence the pavilions not only garner the initial interest of the public, but their interest will continue to grow as people would grow excited as they continue to explore all the different pavilions once they encounter one pavilion after another. Hence the strategic placing of the pavilions essentially becomes “architecture of communication over space” (Venturi 1997, 8) and therefore plays an integral part in the people’s overall experience and sequence along the pier. This becomes an effective way to promote the ferry network and furthermore, the pavilions would add to the identity of the town and leave a far lasting impression on Rosebud; long after the temporary pavilions are

One of the key landmarks in Rosebud is the pier which stretches out 300 me tres into the water. Because the foreshore area is already quite established with new developments, therefore wanted to utilize the pier as much as possible. The pavilions are located on key positions along the pier in order to create key moments of interaction, as people have to pass through all the pavilions in order to go FULL CIRCLE in their Journey.
In observing Rosebud, it is apparent that despite Rosebud being a small town, nevertheless it has drawn from certain elements from the Learnings of Las Vegas. This is particularly evident by the employment of billboards and large signage adorned over many of its shop fronts along it’s main shopping precinct on Nepean Highway. Nepean Highway which runs adjacent to the foreshore of Rosebud Bay acts as the main arterial highway into the town. This method of employing signage across the shop fronts along Nepean Highway is that the shops becomes predominant in the site, as it contrasts sharply with the calm environment of the nearby foreshore. It is effective in the way of capturing the attention of drivers passing along the highway, and hence the signage in the streets cape becomes a “landscape of big spaces, high speeds, and complex programs” (Venturi 1997, 8). However, despite the saturation of signage along the precinct it appears that this method of employ ing signage is a feeble way of retaining the public’s interest in the long run. This is evident due to close observation that people tended to walk past the majority of shops unless they have a specific purpose to enter inside. People also tend not to linger too long in the shopping precinct unlike in the foreshore area where people tend to stay for longer periods of time as the foreshore serves as a place of leisure. Furthermore, it seems that the commercial shops along Nepean Highway are all similar in form and rather unremarkable. It appears that the employment of large signage and bill boards over shop fronts are used not only to grab attention but also to disguise the lack of defining features in all of the shop buildings.

My chosen site for my pavilions is in Rosebud. Rosebud is a seaside town located on the Mornington Peninsula and situated between Rye and Dromana along Nepean Highway. During the summer months, Rosebud is a popular tourist destination among families due to its clear waters and having the largest camping site on the peninsula. Rosebud is also notable for its lack of commerical development with most of this foreshore consisting of community facilities, parkland and camping areas with sections of bushland. However, there has been also been recent devleopments over the years, especially with the development of the playground along Rosebud’s foreshore. The siting of the pavilions in the town was crucial as the increased exposure to the pavil ions could encourage more locals and tourists alike to be interested in a newly proposed ferry network. This would then increase mobility, which in turn would also further increase the socio and economic status of Rosebud.
In order to enter the main central sea bath area where the Info Centre, Gather ing Area and the Sauna are located, as well as where most of the community engagements occurs; one must pass through either the ticketing or kiosk area.
TRAVEL
The first point of contact would be the ticketing area as it is the first pavilion that people spot from the foreshore, and the first pavilion people encounter along the pier. After passing through the first pavilion, the other pavilions also come into view which further garners the interest of the public.

At night, some of the pavilions would be closed such as the Ticketing, Info Centre and Sauna. However the Kiosk and Gathering Areas will still be open at night in order to facilitate the Moonlight cinema event. LED spotlights will be dotted along the existing pier and circular ramp which will allow for easy navigation at night. Similar to KASTRUP SEA BATH (Shown right), The Gathering Area will utilize uplights which will illuminate the gathering area, producing an effect similar to that of movie theatre lighting.
PERMANENT + NON-PERMANENT STRUCTURES
Although my pavilions are temporary, decided that there should be some permanent structures that are left behind which add to the existing structure. This would be the circular ramps as feel it creates a unique experience and a 360 degree view as well as allowing for a permanent sea bath. As for the pavilions, because Rosebud is extremely popular during the summer months, the pavilions would be located along the pier and circular ramp during those months. At night, some of the pavilions would be closed such as the Ticketing, Info Centre and Sauna. Althougth the Kiosk and Gathering Areas will still be open at night in order to facilitate the Moonlight cinema event. However during the cooler months, the pavilions would be relocated to the undeveloped bushland foreshore area of Rosebud which will act as the pavilion’s second home.

Through the utilization of digital fabrication and experimentation, as a group we are able to design and create a fascinating facade system for a 3 storey carpark. The facade consists of panels which are able to attach and detach from neighboring panels, thus creating the opportunity for unique overall facade configurations. There is emphasis on utilizing Arduino and 3D printed parts in order to support that interlocking facade system. The overall facade configuration is informed by areas that are fixed, and areas that are kinetic.
Through Sunlight and Radiation studies, we were able to determine which areas should have panels that move or remain stationary. Red zones was the hottest area, while blue was the coldest. Because orange is inbetween, we decided that those areas would have panels that remain fixed, while the other panels will move accordingly. The building facade panels unfurls and orients itself accodingly at a certain angles in order to maximize the amount of sunlight.

Due to the high stress nature that comes with the job of being a paramedic, it is no wonder that Mental Health problems amongst paramedic workers are considerably higher than those of other professions. There is no doubt that the mental and physical wellbeing of paramedics is an important core issue that needs to be addressed by Ambulance Victoria, in order for paramedics to perform at their best capacity. “The Retreat ‘’ is an Ambulance Victoria based in Clyde North which sets to be a leading example of a branch of the future that promotes Mental Health and Wellbeing. Therefore through the use of passivhaus and biophilic design. “The Retreat ‘’ aims to be a safe haven for paramedics to retreat, rest, and revitalize from the stresses of their job.

The Cheetham Wetlands is a very unique ecological site in which both the man-made nature of the original salt works and the natural tidal wetlands coexist. Our research centre seeks to bridge these differences by creating an Architectural Intervention that reflects this

Intervention is clearly defined into TWO different zones, one which is PERMANENT and the other TEMPORARY. The two zones differ vastly in terms of their formal qualities, materiality and the permanence of their zones. The Permanent area is more round ed and organically shaped in comparison to the Temporary which is orthogonal and modulated. The materiality of the two zones also differ in the sense that the Permanent zone is created from darker and heavier materials such as Steel and Concrete, while the Temporary side is created from light materials such as Timber. Furthermore, the two zones differ the most in terms of their permanence to the site. While the Permanent Area will remain fixed to the ground, the ground modules of the Temporary part will merely sit on top of the site.

For our Architectural Intervention, we decided to propose an Education Research center located at the north of the site, to the edge of the Wetlands. The intention behind our Architectural Intervention is to create a design proposal that is reflective of the environment that it is situated in. As such, the formal architecture attempts to embrace the contours of the Wetlands, taking in a close approach to the site whilst being delicate to the fragile nature of the wetlands.

Therefore when sea level rise occurs due to Climate Change in the future, the permanent part will be left to be reclaimed by the sea while the temporary part will act as a raft and float. The Permanent Area will act as a memento to what the Wetlands once was, and also act as an environment that can house those new eco-systems and sea life in the future.

(WETLANDS CENTRE OVER A PERIOD OF 100 YEARS)
As the sea level rises due to climate change, the Cheetham Wetlands will be completely submerged by seawater in approx 100 years. Our Architectural Intervention reflects these change overtime, as demonstrated through the juxtaposition of its Permanent and Temporary Zones in these plans here. In 100 years, the Permanent Area will be completley submerged and reclaimed by nature, while the Temporary Area will act as a raft and float.
As you are not allowed to physically step into most of the Cheetham Wetlands due to ecological conservation, The Cheetham Wetlands centre provides VR headsets to view the Wetlands digitally. These two rendered images illustrate one of the views that you will be able to see when you put on the headsets; these two scenarios are simulations of different seasons and different time periods.

CONSTRUCTION OF ARCHITECTURAL INTERVENTION -
TIMBER (PHASE ONE) + STEEL (PHASE TWO)
PRE-FABRICATED MODULES + MATERIALITY
Most of the Architectural Intervention is constructed out of pre-fabricated parts which are built offsite, that are later assem bled on site. For the Temporary zones, Timber modules are utilized while for the Permanent zones, modules are built from prefabricated steel units which utilises biorock technology which promotes the growth of corals whilst reinforcing the build ing. The timber modulated pontoons act as a main ground deck, which allows for the Temporary Zone of the Architectural Intervention to float as sea levels start rising.
n order to keep with the idea of treading the earth lightly, the building is created in a very systematic manner. The Temporary zone will have to be constructed first before the Permanent part is built in order to reduce the footprint on the actual Cheetham Wetlands. The Temporary zone is built in modules in which the ground modules are placed systematically on the ground one by one to create the ground platform. In addition to the ground modules, other parts of the building are pre-fabricated and brought to site using trucks which drive onto the temporary area

This thesis aims to discover the new typology of the “Concept Store” in which the store is no longer simply a place of storage and selling, but a space of performance and play. Through the lens of discovery, the retail space consists of showrooms which appeal to the sense of delight, with a focus on people becoming actors within that space. The digital interface has a symbiotic relation- ship with the physical, as technology becomes another medium to further understand Space, Architecture, and ultimately the brand. Using Colour, Materiality, and Lighting to set the mood - the new retail space of the for- mer Big Store will need to bring about sensuous effects on the shopper in order to build hype and create excitement for the Chapel Street Precinct.
PLAY FACTORY
THE UNIVERSITY 2021
Due to the rise of the Digital Age, Ecommerce has largely overtaken the traditional model of physical shopping, thus leading to the closure and decline of many brick and mortar stores across Chapel Street. Therefore in order to reinvigorate the current retail landscape, a new retail typology will need to be developed in order to draw people back to the physical realm of shopping.

Through the use of the geotagging feature on Instagram. This is how other people will come to discover and bring awareness to the PLAY FACTORY. Because the bulding is designed with the intent to look good in images, When people post about their visit to the PLAY FACTORY, their followers will know about the store. Therefore this provides social proof, and will thus encourage more people to visit the store as people want to feel connected through their shared experiences and to recreate their own images. Hence, the building essentially becomes a very effec tive marketing tool to promote the brand and generate hype.
you first enter the PLAY FACTORY from the main entrance off Cato Street, you are greeted into a large open exhibition space at the bottom of the building’s core central void. This Atrium Void space acts as a Tempo rary Installation space where large exhibitions and events can be held during various times throughout the year. PLAY FACTORY utilizes a bidding system in which people can vote to choose which event would ultimately be held here. During times when the Temporary Exhi bition space is not in use, a ball pit is installed to welcome all shoppers to wade in and have fun in the space.

Stairwells located inside the Atrium Void criss-cross over one another as the stairways lead to different floors and exits, encouraging users to get lost in them and discover different levels of the building. Climbing the stairs also allows for a surreal experience as users are able to view different facets of the building from a great height and to view the ball pit down below. The Stairwells also allow for all sorts of different perspectives and angles, which will appeal to many Architectural photography enthusiasts.backdrop for photos.

Despite being permanent showrooms, the objects inside the room will change as brands will bid each season in order to display their products there. All objects displayed in the room are available to be sold. Simply scan in the QR code in order to pay online and pick up on the same day in the Click + Collect Area in Level 1.

The Rooftop is a space which allows for community engagement and acts as a respite for the lack of open air spaces in Chapel Street. The rooftop is readily acces sible to the public and also includes a basketball court. During the summer months, the OpenAir cinema is open for screening.
PLAY FACTORY explores a new typology of shopping in the retail store in which products are displayed in showrooms categorized by colour and room display op tions. Each “room” is assigned a colour according to its appropriate mood for the retail season. Level 1 and Level 2 of the PLAY FACTORY exhibits showrooms that emulate rooms that are found inside a house setting. Similar to a Two-Story home structure, Level 1 consists of rooms that are more public such as the Living Room, Games/ Billiards Room, Kitchen and Dining Room; while Level 2, the upper floors - is reserved for more private settings such as the bedrooms and office spaces.
