OTHER WORKS PHOTOGRAPHY Photography has always been a passion of mine in addition to Architecture. 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 Architectural buildings. One of my favourite trips was my recent trip to Japan in 2016, where I discovered my love of Japanese modern architecture. I 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.

- LONG SECTION K2C 2C LONG SECTION TASK 2C - LONG SECTION TASK 2C- LONG SECTION In this foundation studio, we initially started off with a dismantled object that was later reassembled together in order to create a object in which specific key elements or spatial qualities could be extracted from. This would then serve as the basis for the library design. Upon close analysis, I noticed that my dismantled object consisted mainly of a large vertical element with cantilevering platforms (which hover and overlap over one another) leading off from it. The Vertical element then becomes a structural element as it is what holds the object together. Therefore I have extracted these key qualities from the object into the library design by also utilizing a main vertical transition space (elevator shaft) which allows for easy access and smoother transition between floors. The cantilevered platforms in turn, also creates spaces that flowed from one space to another.

The allocation of spaces is very important to take into consideration when designing a library space. Hence for the Cantelever Library, There are four main floors, all of which serves different functions.
1ST FLOOR- I wanted the first floor to be just exclusively as the floor where the main libraries are included, i decided to put the Main Library and Children’s library on the first floor because I wanted to keep the reading spaces seperate from the public spaces. Also it is located higher up, therefore readers can also enjoy the view.

2ND FLOOR- I wanted to have a main space dedicated to the technologies aspect/ part of the library. The fourth floor includes the computer lab and Audio and Visual library. .
GROUND FLOOR- Since the main entrance , is located on the ground floor,I decided to make the ground floor the main public space.This floor will be the most livley and nosy compared to all floors. The ground floor includes the Information desk, Book returns, bathrooms, cafe and large maps. . BASEMENT FLOOR: Because it is the basement, naturally not much light will filter through as much compared to the other floors, furthermore I would probably be most quiet compared to other floors, therefore I decided it would be good to place the auditorium, gallery and staff room spaces in the basement floor.

Ornament in contemporary architecture is to be approached as something of more than a decorative facade or sculptural element to traditional architectural design principles. Upon the search for a new future ornamnet, as a group we discussed how digital systems and devices map human behavioural patterns, spaces and ornamentation 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 architecture. The following 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.

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. SITE AND STRUCTURE

THE MUSEUM OF FUTURE TRANSPORT ARCHITECTURE DESIGN STUDIO 5 I ARC3001 MONASH UNIVERSITY I SEMESTER 1 2018 I TUTOR - HANNES MCNAMARA
The Museum of Future Transport is a transportation museum which showcases futuristic transportation vehicles as well as displaying 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. 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.

As Melbourne is becoming an increasingly populous city (with population growth expecting to increase 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. 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 programs 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.

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 pavilions could encourage more locals and tourists alike to be interested in a newly proposed ferry network. This would then increase TRAVEL MAPS mobility, which in turn would also further increase the socio and economic status of Rosebud. an Rd

In observing Rosebud, it is apparent that despite Rosebud being a small town, nevertheless it has 1:5000 N This isSCALE drawn from certain elements from the Learnings of Las Vegas. particularly evident by the FROM employment of billboards and large signage adorned over many of its750M shop RADIUS fronts along it’sWHERE main ROSEBUD PIER MEETS SHORE shopping precinct on Nepean Highway. Nepean Highway which runs adjacent to the foreshore of 100m of employing 0 100m 200m 300m 400m Rosebud Bay acts as the main arterial highway into the town. This method signage mins across the shop fronts along Nepean Highway is7that the shops becomes predominant in the site, 1hr 11 mins Dromana as it contrasts sharply with the calm environment of the nearby foreshore. It is effective in the way of Frankston capturing the attention of drivers passing along the highway, and hence the signage in the streetscape 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 employ13 mins ing signage is a feeble way of retaining the public’s interest in the long run. This is evident due to Rye 30 mins close observation that people tended to walk past the majority of shops unless they have a specific Rye 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 1 h 33 mins a place of leisure. Furthermore, it CBD seems that the commercial shops along Nepean Highway are all Melbourne similar in form and rather unremarkable. It appears that the employment of large signage and billboards 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. n Rd

Drawing from the observations of Rosebud, it is apparent that Rosebud’s shopping precinct - Nepean 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, I 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, I chose to leave my pavilions unmarked. By leaving the pavilions unmarked, this creates a sense 20 mins of mystery which will inevitably evoke a sense of McCrae interest and curiosity amongst the public. The Lighthouse pavilions also come with slightly varying forms, each with their 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 23 mins 25 minsgrouped together, but instead strategically placed sparingly across key positions along the pier, all Rye Rosebud therefore people would not encounter the pavilions all at once but rather one at a time as all the Foreshore Camping 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 MAPS 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 dismantled.

One of the key landmarks in Rosebud is the pier which stretches out 300 metres into the water. Because the foreshore area is already quite established with new developments, therefore I wanted to utilize the pier as much as possible. 101 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. 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.
