PORTFOLIO SUMMARY

NUR IMAN SOFIAH BINTI NUR AZIZ Architecture Undergraduate with First Class Honours Specialised in Environmental Design

Architecture has always been a form of story telling for me, being inspired by the intersection of architectural poetics and human emotion. I often use landscape as a medium while exploring narrative potential through scale in architecture. However, my final year project shifted my view from an individualistic to a community-centric architecture and has aligned me to my newfound vision of designing for societal impact. My ultimate ambition is to be an architect dedicated to building sustainable communities with a deep commitment to inclusivity and societal impact.

01 FLEXi House CAPSTONE DESIGN STUDIO EPSILON 2022, SEMESTER 2, YEAR 3 INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC WORK STUDIO LEADER: MITCHELL EATON LOCATION: BRUNSWICK WEST, MELBOURNE SITE NET AREA: 15,625m2 This design studio focuses on seeking new housing solutions in the present context of middle ring suburbs in Melbourne that revolves around the idea of collective housing. The design for the multi-residential buildings is a hypothetical project for the Brunswick City Councils that aims to provide affordable housing for 200 units.

DESIGN STATEMENT Suburban luxury houses are usually associated as private and freestanding. However, Flexi-House re-imagines the idea of suburban luxury as collective assets and allows flexibility by freeing up multi-functional spaces. This housing aims to provide the structure that sustains adaptable and flexible living and be designed to meet the changing needs of the occupants throughout their lifetime. CONCEPT DIAGRAM

These spaces encourage inclusivity within a community and enable residents to embrace collective ownership over the space throught new uses of spaces like shared amenities and communal facilities. Amenities spaces are marked in pink to shows that these spaces are chosen strategically, connecting clusters of residents and utiilising rooftop spaces.

HOUSEHOLD THE INDIVIDUAL & THE COLLECTIVE THE CELEBRATED YARD

WEST & EAST ORIENTATION

The Flexi-House ensures that every resident has access to their own outdoor yard space which becomes a celebrated space for neighbours and friends.

The glass door pivots to a full 180 degrees through wide throw butt hinge. The closed timber screens allows security when the residents wants to enjoy the natural breeze.

THE PASSING STREET The Flexi-House faces a secured communal gallery which recreates the street impression in a suburban house context.

NORTH AND SOUTH ORIENTATION The combination of timber screens, that operates like french doors, and sliding glass doors allows the residents to explore the relationship between indoor and outdoor dwellings space.

With passing neighbours and north facing orientation, residents can adopt their usual routines of gardening and outdoor lounging with children free to interact between neighbouring units.

FACADE SYSTEM The timber screens allow continuity between the indoor and outdoor. The screens create a seamless transition between inside and outside of buildings when fully opened to allow full air circulation and views from the outside. EXPOSURE The glazed glass doors creates allows privacy and security when fully closed. The glazed glass doors reduces the exposure to sunlight during summer and timber screens to create shading. SECURITY At the gallery adjacent to the private residential units facing a public threshold, a screen mesh is installed to prevent access and entry from non-residents with an authorised gate entry to enhance security for the ground floor units.

02 the softer crossing DESIGN STUDIO DELTA 2022, SEMESTER 1, YEAR 3 INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC WORK STUDIO LEADER: LAURA MARTIRES LOCATION: ENTERPRIZE PARK, MELBOURNE SITE NET AREA: 8,000m2 TOTAL AREA: 3000m2 This design studio focuses on designing a new public library for the City of Melbourne and investigates how architecture can shape, promote, and engage with the nature of public space in the contemporary city. The site has a significant cultural and political history as part of the city and forms part of the City of Melbourne’s ambitious ‘Greenline’ Project.

DESIGN STATEMENT Nestled between two train lines, the library serves as a place of refuge, a place to rest and feel calm from urban stress. The project’s programme is a library and a mindfulness meditation retreat. The underneath spaces of the railway trains are transformed into public spaces to stimulate engagement with the community; and through the subtle invitations of columns and light open space, visitors are drawn into the library.

SITE MAP

Potent and peaceful against the vigourous and violent. Delicate and soft against the harsh and rough. Light and openness against the heavy and remote.

SPECULATIVE MAPPING

The Possibility of the Library & The Possibility of the City map my experiences, but also my imagination of what a library/city could be. The Visible City forms a visual catalogue of the things I saw, a collection of truths and the pursuit of the real as the site as it is. The Invisible City articulates the things that cannot be seen while combining the images of the past, present, and future. SITE ISSUES When mapping the site on my map ‘The Visible City’, the feelings of estrangement, secludedness, and hecticness were discovered upon first visiting Enterprize Park which became impactful and contrary to how one will imagine a library. Focusing on my experiences mapped in my speculative mapping, the softer crossing is driven on creating a sense of belonging and slowing down the user within the space. SITE ANALYSIS

CIRCULATION STUDY

Although the main aim is to slow down the circulation within the library, a direct vertical circulation is provided for staff and easy accessibility to those with impaired mobility.

The speculative maps position ourselves in concrete and abstract lenses to investigate the project brief (the library)and site (the city) to uncover facts and narrative potential.

THE SITE

In order to create an experience that changes the user’s perceptions about the site into a positive atmosphere, The Softer Crossing uses landscape, transparency & light to create softness while compelling the users to slow down as design strategies. USER ANALYSIS

INTERNAL SPATIAL RESOLUTION

To accommodate all groups of user, a user analysis was done to create a sense of belonging through the type of occupancy and to compel the users to slow down the rate of circulation.

To compel the users to slow down, small steps and ramps are used and also as a way to connect people in the library.

OBJECT STUDY: THE EVOLUTION OF THE OBJECT THE READING SPACE

The site shows the library nestled between two train tracks along the busy roads and the lively Yarra River which inspired me to instill delicateness, peacefulness and openness within the site.

pg. 12

The Reading Space provides the type of reading space that creates a sense of belonging within the library by balancing the amount of publicness and privacy.

THE BOOKSHELF

The bookshelf becomes the medium to compel the users to slow down in order to create a softer crossing by evaluating the intensity of circulation and to counter it.

03 KAIN DIGITAL DESIGN 2021, SEMESTER 2, YEAR 2 INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC WORK STUDIO LEADER: SAMUEL LALO LOCATION: QUEEN VICTORIA GARDENS, MELBOURNE SITE NET AREA: 705m2 MAXIMUM INTERNAL VOLUME: 125m3 This design studio focuses on the role of pavilions in contemporary design through generative design in enhancing design strategies. The objective is to design a pavilion as if we were a creator in the annual M-Pavilion. The pavilion must be able to facilitate an evening quartet for an audience of 30 people and a lunchtime seminar with 15 guests. The pavilion must also have a roof to provide shade and shelter.

DESIGN STATEMENT My pavilion, Kain, challenges the idea of how spatial depth can be created through spatial illusions influenced by material, light and shadows. Thus, relying on transparency to tie all these factors together. The quality of the space creates inconveniency to an abledhealthy average adult while the disabled and children face lesser to almost no issues in accessing the space. It’s the idea of creating reversion of one’s situation in the real word to bring forth empathy on the lonely challenges we all face in our daily life.

Kain in my native language means fabric, the main design focus of the pavilion. pg. 17

04 office work FACADE DESIGN MAY 2023 - CURRENT TEAM MEMBERS: ALLISON LEE & MYSELF ROLE : FACADE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT OF CLUBHOUSE PROJECT NAME: MORIB RESIDENTIAL LANDED DEVELOPMENT LOCATION: MORIB BEACH, SELANGOR In this project, I was tasked in designing the facade of a clubhouse based on the floorplan drawn by the senior architect. The clubhouse at the development entrance offers a range of facilities for residents, including a swimming pool, gym, multipurpose hall, and other recreational facilities. The clubhouse aims to provide convenience, promote community interaction, and enhance residents’ overall living experience. In this task, I have to consider spatial functions, access and how the facade responds to its beach site frontage. However, the facade of the clubhouse is still under future development. Additionally, I was also able to work on smaller facade development of the guard house. Renders were done by the senior architect, Allison Lee.

It was designed by senior architect Yusop. However, the client wanted more light penetration into the internal space. My task was to further produce iterations of possible pattern ratios covering the metal fin panels. I was also tasked to create a few pattern options to reflect the Moroccan design theme of the sales gallery.

GENERAL ARRANGEMENT DRAWINGS MAY 2023 - CURRENT TEAM MEMBERS: ALLISON LEE (SENIOR ARCHITECT) & MYSELF ROLE : DEVELOPING DRAWINGS FOR BUILDING PLANS PROJECT NAME: MORRIB RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT LOCATION: MORIB, SELANGOR This development will feature affordable terraced villas, terrace villas and twin villa units, with a total of 421 units. The serviced villas are designed based on a low-rise serviced apartment concept, providing a beach front living experience at Morib Gold Coast. My task is to assist the senior architect with developing the building plans for the 4 housing types and clubhouse facility. This experience has imparted me with practical knowledge and skills in drafting a professional drawing for authority submissions. I assisted by amending the designs of the facade based on client’s comments and drew up sections to ensure no clashing between the roof system and the water tanks. I also tabulated lighting and ventilations schedules and evaluated the window designs to ensure all rooms reached the required requirements.

DECEMBER 2023 - CURRENT TEAM MEMBERS: ALIA ADHA, BRANDON CHEN, NURUL & MYSELF ROLE : ASSISTING IN DRAWING UP DETAIL DRAWINGS FOR TENDER PROJECT NAME: SEMENYIH CONDOMINUM DEVELOPMENT LOCATION: SEMENYIH, SELANGOR The serviced apartment will feature 36 floors of 636 total units with 6 carparks level and communal facilities. The development will offer 2 parcels of free market homes and 1 parcel of affordable housing as part of the Rumah Selangorku scheme. In this project, I assisted the main draftsperson, Nurul, in drawing up detail drawings. Working in a high-rise project of a bigger scale introduces much higher structural complexity while considering other aspects of higher residential occupation with different programmes functionality. This experience has imparted me with different design considerations when detailing larger communal areas, allowing me to have discussions and inputs with the senior architects on the design implications within these spaces.

CONSTRUCTION DESIGN 2021, SEMESTER 1, YEAR 3 INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC WORK TUTOR: FRANCESCO ADAMI Post-Tension Slab : With Tension & With Load

LOCATION: PARKVILLE, MELBOURNE STUDY NET AREA: 24m2 This subject focuses on the visualisation of Elizabeth Blackburn School of Science designed by Clarke Hopkins Clarke Architects. The sectional perspective modelling is meant to deliver the applied comprehension and the technological understanding of its architecture and construction. The objective of this subject is to identify, interpret and communicate the factors that led to the design realisation of the case study.

CRITICAL DETAILING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE BUILDING ENVELOPE The final task in the explanatory construction modelling is developing a design proposal for an alternative building envelope. A

minimum area of 3 m2 must be redeveloped with a chosen design intent. For this task, I decided to redesign the roof over the Experimental Learning space into an accessible garden space, taking into consideration of its structural strength, orientation and

accesibility.

DESIGN STUDIO BETA 2020, SEMESTER 1, YEAR 2 INDIVIDUAL ACADEMIC WORK TUTOR: MATKO MATKOVIC EXHIBITED IN SUMMER MSDX 2020 SITE NET AREA: 1200m2 (30mx40m) “Alam Buah” ( World of Fruits) aims to cultivate a cultural labarotory to support local artists and allow visitors to have an engaging experience with music, arts and performance while having an immersive relationship with the surrounding landscape through all of the senses of touch, sight, smell, sound and taste. The primary programme for the visitors would be fruit picking in the local and organic fruits gardens throughout the year by a deliberate planting schedule. The garden also offers a range of social spaces for local residents.
