The Conan Doyle Mystery Theatre is deeply rooted in it’s context. Borne in response to the existing structure; a building which is closed off and inward looking. The nature of this building creates a dead zone it what would otherwise be one of the most prominent sites in central Melbourne. This design seeks to reactivate the space by creating a sense of permeability through the ground floor and thus creating usable public space. The building appears as a singular, complete entity. The building covers the entire site; respecting the urban fabric that it is within: Gridular Melbourne. It is not until one approaches that the skin peels away to reveal the public space which is contained within. The formation of the openings as well as the interior form are driven by divining lines which connect the interior of the building to it’s major access points. Another divining line which forms the wall to the Cafe connects Bourke Street, Melbourne with Baker Street in London.

Just as the facade challenge perceptions of a complete whole the form also plays with this idea. The increased sense of perspective created by the sloping parapet serves to augment the scale of the building; making it appear larger than it is. Furthermore, the striking tower which lifts up in the corner marks this building as a landmark. Internally, this idea of changing perspectives is repeated through the use of cranked walls and sloping planes. Additionally, key to the programme is making use of otherwise neglected space. This is most notable in the lounge areas which are located either side of the main auditorium. The fins that form the side walls of the auditorium allow the occupants of this space glimpses of what is happening within.

Finally, this connection to context is reiterated through the abstraction of the Hoddle Grid. This plan which indicates the permeability of sites throughout central Melbourne has been used in the design of the theatre curtain as well as a driver for the perforated pattern in the steel skin.

This design for the a Gateway to the City of Wyndham we explored the design area of Aggregation. Aggregation was chosen because it is a relatively unexplored area of design and it was a great fit with the context of Wyndham. Inspiration was from taken from the nearby dump, a key issue in local media and aimed to bring excessive use and waste into the public eye. To achieve this we extensively explored aggregation as a way of rationalising the inspiration of dump into a controllable design system. Page four
After a series of physical material tests and parametric explorations using Grasshopper we developed an element which could be joined by its end plane and rotated to create a form of ‘explicit’ aggregation. Two methods to enable this were then developed: tracking and clustering. Tracking allows the system to approximate an input curve providing unexpected but interesting results, whereas the clustering method allows the user to control the rotation of individual elements and the density of the cluster. This system allows for the design to grow and change over time, reflecting the growing nature of the dump and thus further emphasising the impact the waste has on the area.

This double-helix inspired lantern was the first design based project I undertook at university and also my first real experience with digital design. The process of design for this lantern was one of essentially four stages: idea generation and physical sketch modelling, digitization, digital development and refinement, and finally fabrication using a combination of digital and analogue techniques. This project was enabled by Rhinoceros 3D, a complex, NURBSbased modelling program which enabled such a complex form to be developed from what was initially a simple design inspiration; the double helix. Unexpectedly, this is where my strong interest in the relationship between design and construction began to develop, and how the use of digital fabrication techniques can aid this process immensely.

The ‘Dig Tree Depot’ was designed to be a highly flexible and mixed use space in response to the varied user-base of its location: Princes Park. The predominant formal driver for the design was for it to sit within its context both adding to the recreational atmosphere whilst not obscuring the existing landscape.

Designing environments

This was achieved by locating the depot within the canopy of Morton Bay Figs and creating a light-weight structure. This structure was designed to almost float within the canopy, and not detract from its natural beauty. This idea of lightness is articulated through a series of planes, many of which appear to float atop one-another.

This project, ‘Unearthing: A Centre for Cultural Engagement’, challenged students to consider the history of this country and the potential architecture possesses to reconcile two cultures: indigenous and settler. The programme introduced by the brief called for three distinct cultural spaces: Colonial Culture, Indigenous Culture and a space for reconciliation. Rather than attempt to integrate these three spaces into a single building, the opportunity to juxtapose these spaces was embraced in order to heighten the visitors sense of transition.

The visitor begins their journey through the centre, by first travelling down the path and into the colonial centre, this space is proportionally a double square. This is proportion is allegorical to the CBD grid which settlers placed over Melbourne. The second space, is one of two stages. The first of compression, and the second expansion. This space forms the reconciliation space, and connects the colonial to the indigenous.
plan
The Indigenous space was inspired by the mythical creature known to those of the Kulin Nation as Bunjil, the creator and overseer. This space is strongly rooted by a central core (which also contains a hearth, important in many indigenous traditions), but spreads out above to shelter and protect.

This design was for Studley Park Boathouse and Restaurant, Kew. After first studying the work of the ‘Modern Masters’ I took much of the inspiration for this design from the designs of Richard Meier. Important to all of his work is the complex inter-related space, most importantly in a vertical sense. This is predominately achieved through the use of void space. Whilst my design includes three distinct levels, there was a strong sense of relationship between all of these individual space, which has been achieved by the use of both void spaces as well as courtyards and roof-top terraces.

Additionally, Meier will often employ two reference systems, or two grids. These are almost always derived contextually from either the urban fabric or the natural environment. In this case the driver for the two reference systems was the Yarra River, and in particular the bend it this area. This bend was abstracted into a simple angle of 1100 to provide the two lines of reference used throughout the design. middle level
