ST KILDA PLEASURE LAND COMMUNITY LEISURE CENTRE
St Kilda Triangle, VIC 2015 MAJOR PROJECT SUPERVISOR:
Adam Pustola + Sam Hunter
St Kilda Pleasure Land is tried to investigate how to create a new community leisure centre based upon an idea of urban life that exciting, diverse and offer something for everyone (whether you are good, bad or someone in between). It based on the idea that can capture some of the best aspect of St Kilda as a place of creativity, of risk taking, of a place where you can find new experience. The approach of this project is using the contrast idea of vice and virtue. It is a suitable trait to be applied in places like St Kilda that known as Melbourne seaside playground and also the naughty suburb. The mixture of these both character enable to create a stimulating urban place. The place where you can find a leisure through doing something that really exciting and thrilling or doing something more low-key and pleasant. The use of 7 deadly sin and 7 heavenly virtue to describe each program are highly influenced by the ambition of this project, “can architecture represent morality?”

ICE-EDGE RUSH YOUTH RECREATIONAL CENTRE
Maryborough, VIC 2015 STUDIO SUPERVISOR:
Mark Raggatt + Tim Pyke
‘ICE EDGE’ offering a place where teenager can go socialize and create their own community through activities as skateboard, sports and reading in library. This notion created from the idea of provide a distraction from the bad influence of drugs (‘ice’) inside youth culture nowadays. It is a place with the sense of belonging, the place where they tried to find who they are, while in the same time it also served to community as a whole. The recreational centre is trying to give the sense of freedom (youth), while in the same time it also has a sense of security. This gesture is taken from Siena de Campo where the town hall sits in the middle edge overlook the rest of the square. This similar gesture can be seen in Maryborough Railway station. It seems like it stands tall here as the ‘entrance’ (used-to-be) welcoming people to the town and in the same time it overlook the younger generation. The purpose of this community centre is not saying that architecture can solved the issue of ‘ice’. But what the architecture is trying to do is to offer the alternative way for people to look at things differently. The building supposed to open up million possibilities for people to do nothing. Taking the teenager ‘curiosity’ nature in a good way, the building supposed to be intrigued people in doing something out of the comfort zone, but also give out some benefits as well.

STUDIO SUPERVISOR:
Dean Boothroyd + Mark Jacques
The pool/aquatic centre besides as the civic identity of a suburb has become a compensation for the people who living so far from the coast in Craigieburn. The nature of the beach itself is replaced by the park. The idea of carving out program out of ‘forest’ of trees is trying to explore the possibility of intimacy of the building to its surrounding. It has given experience of swimming in and out of the forest. The civic language is achieved by shed typology with canopy as a public space, where people will gather underneath, either inside or outside the shed. The extension of ‘running track’ grandstand roof will become the proxy ‘beach’ itself, with a small garden hidden underneath.

MOUNT SANTO is a self-sustainable city that sustains itself beyond urban farming. It is a curated city landscape that catalogues the cost of autonomy. The city as we know it is typically establishes a buffer, a sheltered reality in which the consumer and production are kept carefully separated. But what is we were make way for the new? How sustainable would the new landscape be? It could be the autonomous extravagance of the consumer city be amplified by the visible realities of what is required to sustain “the new”. This question its logistical, social, cultural and physical implication is what forms the backbones of our three architectures. The city will be a folly in the Victorian landscape.

It also helps solving the issue the area needed for transport infrastracture, by providing few boulevard cut throught the site, while smaller scooter path will be weave in and out between the building to creates more
SCOOTER HUB
FACTORY PRECINCT
PADDY TERRACE
The idea of an object in the landscape is the main reason for the location in the meeting point of every boulevard.
Vertical factory is one example of typological distortion in architecture. Using the element of typical factory, such as industrial pipe and turns it into an architecture creates difference experience for people. With keeping its natural condition and exposed them to outside world will hopefully creates a new space for artist where they can explore the origin of a condition.
The strange feeling of having rural elements in the city is part of typology distiryion in behaviour. The atmosphere of back to nature is trying to achieve with bringing the origin of paddy terrace in the city. The idea of upper landscape and lower landscape has been trying to apply in this scheme, where having natural production on above and man-made production just underneath. Another layer of public space is added to the terrace with aims to provide a space for artist or musician to experience the natural behaviour of rural area.
It is a typological distortion from Arc de Triomphe with its four access arches, combine with the way of using everyday known object or person’s face and turn it into an architecture.
The program itself would be vertical Scooter Factory, while in the centre will be Historical Museum to pushing the idea of distortion furthermore.

Gasometer as a symbolic of industrial element in the city square. It shows how city will sustain them self with having a gas holder themselves. The second layer of public space below in the intention of creating familiarity of this indutrial object and creating a sustainable community.
The idea of putting animal farms and human in the same living space is the result to make way for a new type of living. It creates a new interesting relationship between upper landscape and lower landscape. In this exquisite join, there is three layer lanscape happened; pig grazing, public space stair terrace, fish farm.
CASINO CANOPY
BACON + EGG THEATRE

The idea of casino is always an enclosed space, the design of casino in our city will be in opposition from its nature behavior. The casino will be open to air and light and allow people to look down and bet for the AFL game in stadium happened underneath. Acts as canopy, this also will be a secondary audience stand during the games season.
The typical plan and exterior architecture of theatre might be resulted in Water tank as beautiful object in the centre of city. It is a small intervention another typical interior space. In here, the exploration of idea of community for urban area, where the glass pieces that forms the tank will creates a in sustainable city pushing to the limit where the bacon play a role in the wonderful light underneath. space. It reminds the society how bacon which come from pigs we breed in our city have such an important part in city, it becomes a symbolic thing. The egg ceiling is a complement to bacon window, where we never have a bacon without an egg for breakfast.
MELBOURNE FERRY TERMINAL MIXED-USE URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Shortlisted for RMIT ARCHITECTURE Upper Pool Design Studio Award for Excellence Semester 2, 2013
Driving vision of the project – a transit-oriented development. The future city would be a transit oriented one. With increasing population and densification of the CBD. Recognising transport as a vital system of a city, MFT offer transit options away from an increasingly dense transport network in the CBD. A plug-in transport system - Prototype for future cities. The proposal is to offer a different view to urbanism, reversing traditional perceptions of infrastructure’s role in the city. With this new Melbourne Ferry Terminal, this project provides the transportation transit terminal for cruises, bus, tram and ferry. Together with this, the commercial programs are plugged in, to enhance the liveliness of this complex for anytime of the day. The system is a constantly evolving structure that incorporates residences, transportation and essential services.

footscray has civic centre in the middle of its topology
the topology of footscray is separated by the main road and streets as the circulation
STUDIO SUPERVISOR:
Suzannah Waldron + Nick Searle
“A building can include things within things as well as spaces within spaces.” The urban site has centralized urban structure. The precinct was distributed around it and separated by main road. It was like having courtyard in city centre. While the site itself has linear movement, people move from other site to river edge. The interruption of walking movement is the idea behind circulation in mimicking topography of urban context. Three main programs are housed in four basic volumes. Foyer, two performance spaces and back house are linked each other and triggered continuous movement throughout the building. Additional exhibition space under connects both ends where people most likely will end the loop in courtyard. A courtyard within building acts as a ‘civic space in the urban context’. It connects two performance spaces in a gesture of gathering people in the center of the public space.

The series of relationship study between inside and outside space forms a whole yet asymmetrical building surrounds an open space in centre. It is to maximise the relationship for different program to the courtyard. series of small buildings

The idea by Robert Venturi about ’creating architecture where interior and exterior meets’ is influencing the separation position of entrance. While river entrance welcomed people to open space, the entrance from community art centre leads people to inside building. These two entrances eventually will meet in centre of courtyard.

THE ORDER OF COMPLEX SYSTEM
CLUSTER TOWER APARTMENT BUILDING
William St, Melbourne 2012 STUDIO SUPERVISOR:
Enza Angelucci
Cluster tower is about creating a system of complexity from simple object and apply it to the building. The order come from the idea of laneway represent Melbourne as a part of grid Hoddle system. Connection of the laneway forms an intricate system. Taking this idea, a basic system is created and applied throughout the building. Simple box is the base of the building. The method of complication is derived by the action of division, stacking, interlocking and multiplication. Moshe Safdie’s Habitat 67 organization of the boxes is the basic to create different type of apartment type with different experience. But these variations of spaces did not obstruct the unity of the building to read as one. Series of balcony and terrace spaces are part of way to create unity of experience. As observer moves in through spaces, the experience they have will get deeper and more personal. Interesting outcome is a series of void throughout building that emphasize quality of laneway.

This office building is focused on the faรงade system and its detailing. The faceted faรงade consists of same triangular pattern system with different angle given each panel. The angle from panels creates irregular outline plan affect space inside and some of horizontal voids. The different window opening leads to addition of inconsistent and unequal structure around window frame. Finishing of concrete panel is left untouched and supported structure also left exposed, to celebrate the purity of material. In addition, the new environmental faรงade system with sustainable technology is applied in the second version of this office tower. Roof garden, solar panel, energy-efficient lighting and bio filter are added to help this building to achieved the Green Star rating.

Paulo Sampaio + Claire Scorpo
The H-shaped houses of the new urban housing complex in Dandenong are based on CSH 19 by Don Knorr. It consists of two physical buildings with one experience connection. This considers a possibility to separate the house in future and easy multiplication. The three houses can be easily break into 6 volumes with separate individual courtyard in between. With this benefits, the house can be easily adapted to one single family house, two individual house or a house with separate office space. The different volume for each houses can be easily identified with the front house or “parent house” as a one-floor planning with brick façade. Whilst, the back house or “child house” can be identified from the double volumes with aluminium panel façade.

OFF THE SHELF PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
Melbourne Central - Myer 2011 STUDIO SUPERVISOR:
Jerome Frumar
This pedestrian bridge clearly shows how simplicity and complexity put in same condition while they are still contradicting each other. As a link between Melbourne Central and Emporium Myer, this three-floored steel structure building has a contrast with its tensegrity roof consists of hundred smaller components, which also acting as the second façade. The clarity of the structure has been overshadow by the complexity of the roof. Moreover, the series of stair-ramp run throughout the building to bring people easily from floor to floor. With these few qualities, this pedestrian link has become more that a bridge itself. It has transformed become a temporary activities place between these two major commercial centre in Melbourne CBD.
