CONCEPT

This project aims to incorporate variety of programs in a mixed use building, located on the southerly corner of Spencer and Batman Streets, West Melbourne. Consisting of a business headquarters for Dispersed Special Interest Groups (yoga, NAVA), a therapeutic wellbeing program and boutique retails, the project requires a well organized and workable arrangement of these programs. Before the design process, site analysis is conducted which helps understand the background and future development of the site. The district is shifting from industrial to residential aspects which potentially requires more recreational space. More, the regular brick form of buildings drives my concept of creating a contrasting form and atmosphere in the site. Wide range of colour creates contradtion to the red brick facade of the existing buildings. It demonstrates playfulness using children-related objects.

Realizing the lack of recreational facilities and the potential residential development in West Melbourne, teenagers and young families will possibly move into this new developed district. Thus children become the major target of the project. After considering the child-related objects and issue, toy blocks are chosen as the base for development. They are the most representative object of childhood which it helps develop the creativity of young children. Dynamic motion is captured in the way children play the blocks, contrasting the regular form of surrounding buildings as well as creating a playful atmosphere for the users.

Concrete and steel are the major structural elements in the project due to the irregular form of building. Reinforced concrete slab and precast concrete columns and beams are used with the support of the lift core. They are the most efficient and effective way to build such irregular shape.

Colour and patterns are the most important features in the interior design as to create a playful atmosphere for children. Walls, ceilings as well as furniture are painted in eye-catching color. Natural light and plant are adopted in the sense of providing a comfortable and relaxed environment.

SITE

ACTUAL ISLAND history of the island which is separated from mainland and full of vegetation

brainstorming the sheltering place in the pavilion

The aim of this studio is exploring the relationship between the ground surface, below ground and above ground through spatiality, materials and amenity of a pavilion on the island. By choosing our own site on Herring Island, we interpret our own secret which allows the users to experience with, either a physical object of secret or a process of discovering the secret. What I try to do is to draw a relationship between my pavilion and the site which creates a journey of the secret discovery. Emphasizing the users and spatial experience, I focus on the use of material and interaction between the users and the pavilion.

CONCEPTACLE MODELS square simply cut and spaces are left among each piece the piece at the center is taken out to experiment the experience

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

SEMI-TRANSPARENT GLASS FROM UNKNOWN TO CLARITY Interior walls of the corridors represent the process of finding a secret which emphasizes the experience of exploring and discovering the secret by the users. Concrete is used for the first three layers of walls while semi-transparent glass is placed for the later three; clear transparent glass is used for the final layers which means users finally have a clear picture of the secret.

STORAGE

Looking from the exterior, the top part of the tree is exposed; soon, when people enter into the pavilion, they will find out the “tree” is not a real tree but a sculpture. Part of the truth is actually not the whole story of the secret and this requires users to explore the secret themselves.

The two entrances give a sense of mystery where the users do not know what would happen until they pass through the corridor and find the secret.

INTERIOR RENDER

The design is an outdoor pavilion which allows natural light entering into the interior space. Wide range of materials, especially timber and grass, are used to create a relaxed atmosphere. In terms of physical modelling, the model is in scale of 1:100 and human figure is placed to show the actual human-to-pavilion proportion.

CONCEPT 1 USE OF REGULAR SHAPES The design is generated from a simple rectangle, then cut it into half, like Mario Botta’s work beginning with simple geometry.

2 CONCEPT OF GRAVITY The cut part is combined and played with different heights and arrangements. This idea is come from one of the master’s work House in Maggia [1975]

Learning the architectural style of the Master, Mario Botta, I attempt to apply his formal ideas into my boathouse design in Studley Park, along Yarra River. By formal ideas, it means formal, spatial, material, structural, and experiential principles he adopted or developed in his design across many projects. 3 SUBTRACTION METHOD Subtraction is conducted by three dimensional objects several times, similar to the process of the master’s work.

My boathouse, in certain extent, is related to the master, the brief and the site. My design aims to achieve the strong relationship between the users, boathouse and the river which gives a warm atmosphere and encourages interaction between users and Yarra River.

site plan

This experimental studio is to create a game playing in Quarries Park, Clifton Hill. The class is divided into four groups: Generation, Interaction, Landscape and Artefact. I am in Landscape team with other two classmates. Our group focuses on the site analysis and break down each analysis into components. The conversion of the detailed algorithmic analysis to csv files by Grasshopper allows the rest of the gamespace studio to develop a highly comprehensive environment in Unity. What I have done in the group are the topographic, elevation and sound analysis and visualization in presentation. In group with : Danielle Laqui, Gabriel Nash

Remapping the data

We attempt to quantify the value of land based on different aspects. Taking the acoustic aspect, we levels space from 0 to 1, where 0 is the quietest while 1 is the noisiest. By dividing the land by 10m by 10m, data is collected for each point and then converted into csv file (list of data). The list is passed to interaction team, who is responsible to combine the csv file and their Unity script to produce the final version of the game.
