The tower incorporates sustainability and greenery, with the use of timber facades, to green plantations to help promote productivity and general well being. To unify the tower to its site, the tower also acts as an expansion of the existing community hub, with a public library on the top floor and more meeting rooms for offices and community events.
gh
The tower provided a mixture of residential accommodation as well as creative artist studios. The residential apartments were necessary to fit within the developer model, which helped reduce the rent for studios which could continue practicing and producing creative work.
Hi
On the human level, this project looked at both the redevelopment of the Boyd Community centre, with the ambition to create a safe and engaging community space amongst the cold concrete jungle.
ss ce in Pr
Studio Studio aimed to focus on resolving the issue of accommodation for displaced artists, through providing a long-term affordable studio within the current viable developer models.

02 Architecture Studio 3 Runway Hotel + T4 Passenger Link Melbourne Airport T4 Tiger Terminal The Design reuses the key element of the airport, the runway, to create new experiences and public spaces. The first runway links the terminal to the hotel. The arrow marking guides across the road and intersects the second main runway. Both runways are an imitation Tullamarine’s own dual cross over runways. The runway curves upwards, allowing patrons to climb on for a surreal experience. The main runway lights up with LEDs at night, displaying information and pattern. The extrusion creates a cavernous, naturally lit atrium, spanning throughout the design. The top floor is reserved as an observation floor with maximized views of aircraft movement. The facade is created using parametric design to subtly quote the runways arrows. Externally, the fins create a dynamic parallax effect, with different views based on location, angle and sunlight. Internally, they provide partial covering and framed views. The hotel rooms recycle the shape and visual language of the design, while providing high ceilings and plenty of views.

03 Representations Denver Central Library Michael Graves Denver, Colorado, America In 1990, the post-modernist architect Michael Graves won the design competition to expand and refurbish the existing Denver Central Library. Inspired from the classics, Graves design incorperates massings of euclidean volumnes, constructed with reinforced concrete and colourful masonry. The playful colour palette and rich interior furnishes liven up the library as being a relaxing, yet enjoyful place to read an explore.

04 Parametric Design Grasshopper + Rhinoceros 5.0 Addition of parametric fins
The project focuses on the skill to create 3d modelled objects through the Grasshopper Plugin. Paramatrization is a very powerful tool that allows rapid design iterations. However, the set up can take an extenstive amount of time and requires coherent, structured and logical thought process to develope proper definitions. The project designs an addition to Michael Graves' Denver Central Library, taking inspiration from louvers or fins. A precedence for this project is The Design Factory, located at Swinburne University designed by Local firm Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) with London’s Wilkinson Eyre Architects.

Flowchart
Grasshopper Definition The direction of this project is to create fins that extend perpendicularly out of the body/surface. The distance of each extrusion would depend on a relationship between surface point and the distance of an attractor curve or point.
ACTION
To achieve this, the follow components and proceedures were created:
VARIABLE
INPUTS
1. BASE SURFACE
1. Input surface 2. Creating a grid system with varying grids
DIMENSIONS
2. GRID CREATION
3. Selecting horizontal or vertical lines for extrusion. 4. Find distance between attractor and surface, and manipulate scalar value to find appropiate extrusion lengths. 5. Extrude the lines based on extrusion lengths. 6. Produce a 3d object through controleld extruding the fins in the perpendicular direction to add thickness. 7. For easy use in Rhinoceros, convert object to Mesh.

05 3D Printing Rhinoceros 5.0 + Mesh + STL This project further advances from previous to transform digital to physical models. Importantly, the project focuses on how to create files ready for 3d manufacturing. The skills learnt include the disicpline of proper booleaning of volumnes, in addition to creating high quality meshes and knowing how to fix volumnes/meshs.
