Artworks in the Collection
retail gallery cafe interior design urban playful popart parametric
brief To design a retail store for the Outre Gallery, Australia’s contemporary gallery that deals with international pop art, lowbrow, pop surrealism and underground art (for more information, visit www.outregallery,com). Besides the gallery function, the design should also incorporate small cafe, bookshop and also an apartment for the manager. The site is also situated at a prominent location around the corner of Sydney Rd and Albert St.
ALBERT S T
SYDNEY R D
response ART by Outre Gallery expresses the vibrant and playful nature of contemporary pop art being presented in the collection. The exuberance is expressed through the concept of exaggerating the signage, such that have an iconic presence in the very monotone Sydney Rd. It maximizes the corner by having the big letter sculptures that spell ‘ART’ in order to attract pedestrians across the street and those travelling in trams. The bright colours also pop out compared to the streetscape. Inside, the topology resembles the experience of a child’s playground, where the illusion of being small is played out with the double height ceiling, big letter sculptures and staircase. Meanwhile, the café offers a more humanized scale with the lower vaulted ceiling and placement of functions inside the letter sculptures. Moreovere, the furniture design also reinforces the idea of play through the use of letter forms such as ‘POP’ to make up the tables and counters.

Mikel Roman large scale archive library gallery mixed use parametric
brief
To design an archive for the University of Melbourne that is rich in theory and connected to the local context. The brief incorporates dense and huge functional requirements, such as 50km of archival storage, gallery and reading room. The mixed use nature of the building becomes part of the challenge, which is to establish a poetic relationship between the functional space (i.e. archival storage) with the experiential spaces (i.e. gallery).
Form Making Diagram
Site Plan - 1:2000
response Historically, Brunswick was renowned as the centre for basalt quarrying and manufacturing in the 1850s. Metaphorically, the idea of quarrying also share similar notion of an archive. The action of extracting into the ground in search of some precious material is poetically similar with the action of obtaining information of important things that had existed in the past represent the function of an archive.
Exterior View
The exterior form conveys a strong monolithic impression, which represents a block of stone erupting from the ground. The planning also suggests the notion of quarrying by having all the functions against the wall, allowing the public areas in the centre. Moreover, the idea of digging is also communicated through the play of internal volume and mass. Variation of void sizes, such as the two atriums, lowered platform and the staircase enrich the experience inside. For instance, due to the sloped roof, the experience of quarrying deeper as one gets deeper into the plan is expressed through the intensified height of void between the front and the back atrium.

brief The brief is taken from Land Art Generator Initiative (LAGI) Competition in 2014, which is to design an art installation that functions as a clean energy generator (for more information, visit http://www.landartgenerator.org). It should engages with local context and contributes to the cultural richness of the community. Pragmatics regarding constructability should also be considered. Moreover, the advancement in parametric design tools should be used in delivering the project.

N Conceptual Diagram of Energy Generation Process
response Dragone With the Wind is the proposed art installation that utilizes the strong wind in Copenhagen as the source for renewable energy generation. The massing resembles the hill form as means of bringing nature back in contrast to the surrounding built forms as part of engaging with the past and present context of Refshaleøen. Moreover, it allows the users to engage with the energy generation process by enabling physical interaction through the flowing fabric inside that signals the rotating turbine. In terms of function, it aims to be an iconic landmark of Refshaleøen that accommodates large cultural and social events as part of promoting a sense of community. More information regarding the design process can be seen in the journal produced for the project at http://issuu.com/ filiachristy/docs/christy_filia_560890_finaljournal/1.

LEGENDS

brief Design a boathouse in replacement of the old one with the formal methods of assigned architecture master (Herzog and de Meuron). The site is located on Studley Park, Kew as part of the natural bushland of Yarra River.
NOON
The meandering Yarra River that cuts dynamically through the landscape, produces pleasing views that sweep elegantly through the natural bushland. With the slope facing north to the river, the site is always exposed to sunlight that enhances the boathouse as a recreational place. From this understanding of views and orientation, the design is created to maximized the users’ visual experience by having curvilinear glass walls that is pushed to the edge to get the maximum panoramic view of the meandering river. Inspired by Herzog & de Meuron’s Pavilion at a Lakeside, the idea of blending with nature is translated into the concept of TRANSPARENCY with glass façade that expands the visual experience of the landscape with the thin transparent lens of convex form. Furthermore, the design also follows some formal rules of Herzog & de Meuron, specifically with the proportional structural grid, linear organization of functions, repetitions with the pitched roofs, engagement with the surrounding textures through materiality and the idea of lightness.

gallery contrasting experience aboriginal and colonisation nature
brief N
To Design a Discovery Centre and Place for Cultural Exchange that commemorates the historical tension between the Aboriginals and the Colonisation. It should accomodate two galleries representing the two sides, a reconcilation garden and a stage for centre of cultural exchange for the Illbijerri Theatre.
SMALL HILL
STEEP SLOPE FROM THE JETTY
Site Plan
response Through the understanding of historical background between the two groups, the concept revolves around the theme of experiential contrast. The Indigenous Gallery is placed under ground to create the feeling of enclosed and restrained by limited sunlight, slanted walls, narrow paths and sharp corners. The main part of the gallery comes at the triangular pyramid that protrudes above the ground, with skylights at its apex as a symbolism of striving and hope for the Indigenous people. Meanwhile, the Colonisation atrium on the ground is meant to communicate the colonist way of dominating the land, through the enclosing large glass structure and elevated platform. In between, the reconciliation garden mediates in the form of stairs and terrace as representation of coming together, bring into equality the two cultures. The form itself is inspired from the contour of the site as promoting the idea of reconciliation of both the Indigenous and Colonisation with the land of Herring Island.

A House in The Tropics West Jakarta, Indonesia
non-academic project year
2014 residential urban density tropics
brief To design a residential housing to accomodate a family of four. Due to the urban density of Jakarta, the site is very constricted in terms of width, only 8 meters wide and 20 meters long.
response The solution to the constricted site area and width is to go vertically up to 3 floors. The provision for light is achieved by creating atriums or holes in the plan to allow light entering from the skylight. The atriums become the central feature that connects different parts of the house together.

brief To analyse a set of Construction Drawing (Architecture, Structure and Geotechnical Report) of the case study house and construct a physical model and axonometric drawings of a given portion of the building. The Case Study House was Dandenong Education Precinct by Hayball Architects.
response A Detailed Model with the scale of 1:200 was constructed. The principles of detailing, such as wash, overhang and overlapping were modelled. The structural components such as timber studs and truss roof framing were modelled according to standard. Moreover, the type of finishing and cladding were also modelled according to the drawings. The same level of detail was also drawn axonometrically to have a better understanding of the components in 3 dimensions.

parametric model making digital fabrication
brief Design a lantern inspired from natural process using a Computer Aided Modelling (Rhinoceros 4.0) and fabricate the digital design into a physical paper lantern.
Solar Flare
Eplorative Sketches
response The design looked at the formation of Solar Flare at the surface of the Sun. The radiated energy took the form of circular loops, which was then translated into the form of the lantern. After analog sketches and modelling using plasticine, the design was then digitized using the Modelling Program Rhinoceros. However, due to limitations of the program, certain changes had to be done, such as the loops had to be merged into continuous surface. Next, the surfaces were extracted into series of triangular panels, ready to be cut into strips of paper. The strips were then joined together, together with the LEDs installation, to produce the paper lantern.
