URBANSCAPE: RETHINKING THE ROLE OF THRESHOLDS OF THE FUTURE STUDENT HOUSING RESIDENTIAL | GRADUATE HOUSE, MELBOURNE VIC
Design Thesis [Post-Covid Campus] by Elliet Spring, Tahj Rosmarin and Toby Wooley | Individual University of Melbourne | M.Arch 2020 | Yr 2 Sem 2 MSDx feature: http://bit.ly/3sj8Nyx The thesis studio brief wishes to rethink the role of university-related activities in the post covid era, where I took on the student housing path as student residences in Melbourne are usually confined to poorly ventilated tiny boxes with no social space which has took a toll on student’s wellbeing. Thousands of international university students reside in student housings over the semester. However, with COVID-19 restrictions now in place, the pandemic situation complicates the transition of living at home to being independent overseas in different ways. As a student, the imperative to stay home has amplified effects on the sense of loneliness and loss of study routine as well as campus experience. The thesis wishes to intensify the student living experience at the scale of student housing. Looking at a balance environment for living and learn-
ing, it aims to reflect on the impacts of COVID-19 on the current student housing typology in Melbourne psychologically, socially and functionally during both, on and off pandemic modes. To facilitate a sense of belonging and community between students, a concept that will be explored in the thesis will be the intertwining of nature and public functions at the intensify of a street along with explorations of 3 threshold spaces in student housings: public, semi-public and private, acting as a ‘in-between mediator’ for the solidarity and solitude. Imagine the pandemic will subside but other pandemics will follow, how does student housing of the post-covid era cultivate or maximise student experience within a vertical housing compound with considerations of health and wellbeing in mind?
In the post covid era, students would be spending more time at home, yet in order to enhance the intensity of life within a vertical housing both during off and on pandemic modes, the building will aim to engage thresholds through firstly the stacking of Iiving blocks of rooms and mini common areas to achieve a community for solidarity while connected by larger common areas . During on pandemic modes, the segregation of blocks could then happen but with allowance of usual social engagement with neighbours and indoor outdooor permeability within the isolated living block. The proposed student housing will consider the following 3 main scales: 1. LIVING BLOCKS: Informs massing 2. LANEWAYS|WALKWAYS: Informs circulation 3. THRESHOLDS: Informs potential use of informal space

The architectural response took on the exploration of the opportunity to introduce a lively living environment of the street intensity for students living in student accommodations. Through the analysis of streetlife experience in Australia, Malaysia and Japan, the proposal aims to re-evaluate the role of thresholds; uplifting living conditions by introducing intensity at a city to the scale of a vertical building with containment of life as a mediator visually and physically between the interior and exterior. The design notion of a vertical ‘laneway’ as the main transitional space acts as the mediator between the public and private, providing moments to pause and stare, to stay, to walk, to run, to engage and to extend the tiny living spaces out onto the public domains.

This trajectory plan and section aim to capture the essence of transitional modes along the main ‘street’ up towards the building at the scale of a laneway; gradually traversing through communal spaces with moments of pause for engagement, either with students who pass by or in their rooms, in the sequence of (1) Ground floor plaza (2) Member lounge (3) Library & Study zone (4) Gym rooms (5) Mini theatre (6) Outdoor Leisure Arcade

Edge treatment of the vertical student housing should be treated similarly internally for threshold spaces to happen with aims for students to have a change of environment from inside the enclosed box.
The architectural style evolves from the concept of the ever-changing streetscapes in an urban context. The journey through the building is constantly changing to evoke a sense of adventure and excitement to the life of a student resident. The experiential journey through a catalogue of thresholds, as appreciated through the implementation

of functional and symbolic intentions is the key to a vibrant living environment, offering students the choice to work in their room or gather right outside the door in the offerings of varying spatial qualities as a change of environment is proved effective as a motivator in increasing productivity or enhancing the lost study routine.

Master Studio E [Japan Studio] by Mitchell Eaton and Nancy Ji | Individual University of Melbourne | M.Arch 2020 | Yr 2 Sem 1 MSDx feature: http://bit.ly/3dzBPWF The studio brief is to translate ideas from the Japan village life through a contemporary lens and propose solutions to urban problems such as social isolation through the design of a major mixed-use project as a vertical community. The proposed mix of programs co-exist to create a community with strong connections that can efficiently share resources, spaces, and social capital in a sustainable way. Located in the bustling city of Melbourne, the building is a joint venture between a Japanese Matcha Company and a local Seven Seeds cafe to foster the exchange of rituals between each other. Not only it is a cross cultural diffusion of significant Japanese tea culture into the
Melbourne coffee context, but it also grows a cross-culture community where people come together and exchange stories of their usual rituals. The building aims to create an eye-catching, vibrant and fresh meeting spot for people to get together at the heart of the city through a cup of tea or coffee, which has long been known as a social lubricant. Located at such a prime location, the architectural proposal is defined through the use of collage sequence. Each forms represent distinctive intensifying spaces and programs, architecturally and visually aims to be pleasing to attract users to wandertowards the higher floors of the building.
ARCHITECTURAL PROPOSAL During daytime, it revolves around the morning routine of getting a cup of tea in the cafe with a colleague and creating unexpected encounters in the co-working space in conjunction with vertical green planting. At night, the building centers around ritual and immerses into self-relaxation where visitors could get off their modern gadgets and embraces reconnection to humans physically while soaking in a rooftop thermal spa. Never mind it be for impromptu meetings or casual conversation, the spaces encourage visual connectivity to spark interest and aim to bring different user groups together through a series of programs with the making of tea and coffee in the background.
FORM GENERATION 1. Space Frame is to contrast the forms of different programs
2. Determining the planting location according to the sun analysis
3. Activate front facade with the sculpted hanging tea house to attract attention towards the upper part of the building 4. Prioritise views of tea house and bath house
5. Main stairs circulation ventures through different programs from interior to exterior to maximize user’s experience

6. Final form
Since the spatial qualities of each programs can be quite specific to their own unique identity, the: Round arch greenhouse is used for greater light transmission as it does not reflect sunlight, where the colour of the glass is determined by the desired plant light spectrum. Hanging and rooftop tea house both maximise the atmospheric effects it could provide to the users inside through the use of light and shadow, often associated with views and greeneries, where the colour is determined by ithe plant’s desired light spectrum.

GYM & TONIC CIVIC [FITNESS] + LIVING FOCUS | ST KILDA, MELBOURNE VIC
Master Studio D [All Star 2.0*] by David Brand, Fooi-Ling Khoo and Jack Wilkinson | Individual University of Melbourne | M.Arch 2019 | Yr 1 Sem 2
ALL-STAR: There’s a place for all sorts here, from the penniless to the fattest cats in town. ALL-STAR 2.0* Studio is set at the centre of a ‘dead zone’ that is eating the heart out of St Kilda, Melbourne. The project brief is catered to revitalise the empty street through a multi-purpose civic development by embracing a high degree of social inclusion and sub-cultural diversity. With the site located in Fitzroy street, St Kilda, the suburb has always been famous for its beach activities like beach volleyball and paragliding along the St Kilda beach during summer, where also in proximity to Catani Gardens
and Albert Park, events such as triathlon and marathon happened all year round. Therefore, Gym & Tonic is a dynamic meeting point for the active of all ages to come take part in a wide range of fitness activities, either to meet people of similar interest or prepare for their next sports competition. Health, culture and leisure are blend into Gym & Tonic to create a spectacular architectural experience and popular fitness destination to enhance the well-being and reinvigorate the neighborhood. The building revolves around the idea of PLAY, includes various fitness and wellness programs as well as 3 types of rooms for backpackers or visitors exploring the once happening neighborhood.
ARCHITECTURAL PROPOSAL The idea is to push all the dynamism to the facade to populate the building with constant movement to radiate the busy-ness, activeness and funness of the facade to attract one who passes by where each space, colour coded and design elements reflect the spaces inside: / Beige brown - Rock climbing wall / Red - Rope course in the atrium / Yellow - Gym / Light blue - Swimming pool / Diagonal dark blue - Hotel reception

When you first arrive at the building, you will be welcomed by shadows of water with people swimming along the first floor balcony. As you come to the Entrance, on the left, a two storeys restaurant and on the right, a cafe act as the facelift of the building. Looking straight through your vision, there is a huge rock climbing wall and rope course activities where on the ground, users will be invited by strips of running tracks of different colour where each colour leads you to each colour-coded destination.

HIGH-RISE CONSTRUCTION CONSTRUCTION | 308 EXHIBITION STREET, MELBOURNE CBD
Applied Architectural Technology by Marcin Polgar | Group Partner [Santiago Leguizamon & Pris Kwok] University of Melbourne | M.Arch 2019 | Yr 1 Sem 1
The unit focuses on design development of high rise office tower and resolves a design proposal at design development stage by applying current good practice in terms of sustainability and detailing. The project envisions a tower of 320 to 360 meters high with floor plate efficiency of 80%. It develops new detailing skill based on a particular set of technical and programmatic requirements and understand the multidisciplinary nature of design development.
Located opposite the Carlton gardens, the concept aims to embrace the garden’s nature through inputs of pocket garden overlooking Carlton gardens within the building levels for office workers. The building volume is first placed along the Melbourne Hoddle grid with a stepping public podium to approach the adjacent streets for easy access. The tower is made up of 4 equal grids and sets back gradually per each grid to improve wind lateral loads on the building and increaseing view opportunities of the surrounding garden.

ARCHITECTURAL PROPOSAL The driving force in the site was the clash between the different urban elements on the site: the huddle grid, the rectilinear city grid and the Carlton Gardens. Taking this elements, we made rotate the main mass of the building towards the gardens to optimize views of the green spaces as well as aligning with the huddle grid of Melbourne, the podium was envisioned as an extension of the street surrounding the site escalating towards the roof top of themselves proving terraces filled with public spaces for everyone to use, the podium rotates around the tower creating terraces with views to Carlton Gardens as well.

WE L C O ME TO FOOTSCRAY ! URBAN + CIVIC | FOOTSCRAY, MELBOURNE VIC
Design Studio 6 [Sideways] by Yvonne Meng | Group Partner [Touchamas Wongsanganan & Angus Farrar] Monash University | B.Arch 2018 | Yr 3 Sem 2
The studio aims to challenge the usage and definition of footpaths and how it could essentially contribute to the public of Footscray. With the prominent users being a person on foot, how can footpaths be the catalyst driver of being able to transform a place from wasted potential to a flourishing cityscape? In the context of Footscray, the suburb is home to a mix of cultural ethnicity and a multicultural central shopping area, demographically flooded with ages and occupations of all: local residents, business owners and their workers, elderly consumers, and students. A lack in sense of identity is experienced due to the constantly altering waves of immigration, however the success of this developing neighborhood, though, is ultimately determined by tourists: a person travelling
to a place for pleasure and experience. Footscray is home to a multitude of events. However, when visitors visit, they visit solely for an event, and never return. To liberate Footscray, permanence is required. Attraction and facilitation are the key concepts to liberating public spaces, however, rather than permanently altering the makeup of Footscrays Streets, modularity in function and form is necessary. By recognising and identifying the many needs of individuals, groups, and cultures, the implementation of modularity can help to provide an artistic framework scene for successful events, differing in size, program, intensity and use. If the city can cater for all needs, its audience can broaden greatly, and its sidewalks will thrive.

TIMELINE DIAGRAM As such, the timeline of events is a driving factor of our project. Looking at many events that occurred across the year, each possessing differing aspects in response to use, atmosphere and culture. Each event was then categorised as either Respect, Celebration, Cultural, Sport and Performance. This allowed us to understand what our project was to revolve around. Similarly, the set up of each event was sub-categorised into four groups, Collating, Reflecting, Viewing and Gathering. When combining the event and set up categories, it is evident that everything was not consistently the same, and modularity was needed.
STRUCTURE AS A NEW ART IDENTITY TO THE PRECINCT The architectural proposal to the issues of vacancy and lost identity is a permanent structure in the centre of Footscray that facilitates a moveable roof system, a modular tower and modular furniture, all influenced by a multitude of events, to provide an ever changing environment to Footscray. Not only does our structure need to be able to cater for variation for events of all types, but it needed to be instantly identifiable, giving Footscray a new identity. The placement is decided on its centrality, to radiate a grandeur effect and accessibility to various urban conditions in response to the current conditions. Places upon the main block in central Footscray, the core steel structure sits above the existing built threshold. The support structure either intersects with existing buildings, creates new thresholds within their existing spaces, or protrudes and intersects with the sidewalks and facades of these buildings. Being based off a 4800 grid, it aims to not dominate the existing built form below and to be light-weighted, acting as new art canopy to the rising ‘art’ precinct.

Through consistent modular form, it allows for the central business district of Footscray to be instantly identifiable, regardless of use and need. The frameworks provided aims to cater for all involved. By allowing activity and event to expand and take control, we will see the empty and placid Footscray precinct transform into a catalyst for festivity and event. It will shift from its current state of inactivity, community interest will rise, and ultimately, it will transform into the destination for everyday activity that it has been striving for within its recent history.

FLOW LANDSCAPE | THE ROYAL CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL, MELBOURNE
Design Studio 5 [Reserve] by James Jamison and Sarah Haq | Group Partner [Touchamas Wongsanganan] Monash University | B.Arch 2018 | Yr 3 Sem 1
The brief is to enhance the theme of reserve in Royal Park, Melbourne, where The Royal Children’s Hospital, located on the was chosen as our testing ground due to the existing condition of has no visual relationship with the context of the park. The enclosed atmosphere is in contrast with the openness of the reserve and makes the users feel rather disconnected to the park. Our idea is to introduce landscape using topography into the hospital to mediate the hierarchy
between the artificial and natural as well as to improve healing and well being of the patients. Due to the existing surrounding topography level, the enhancement of the hospital involves the rethinking of circulation and improvement of atmosphere in according to the surrounding topography by blending it into the building. We want to unify the interior and exterior by breaking the barrier of the existing building in order to shape human experience within the compound of the hospital and the park.

ARCHITECTURAL PROPOSAL By analysing the existing topography conditions, the atrium space of the h diates with the external park, by taking away the roof and subtracting the to the contour lines in plan view, it resulted in transforming the atrium into ridor and a flowy roof; that can be used both as a roof and a pathway co floors.

In the existing hospital, the placement of the entrances limited and blocked the users to engage more to the site, which is Royal Park. So, we tried to alter the topography accordingly to the program of the existing hospital in order to introduce a more engaging circulation.

HILL ENTRANCE On the east facade of the hospital, the ground place is elevated up as a hill to meet the existing garden on the second floor and created a new entrance for easier access from the east side of the hospital and created a space for people to hangout.

FRONT ENTRANCE This part of the building used to be an one-level building, however with the topography elevated down; it has created an extra level underneath the existing level with slopes sloping up connecting between underground, ground and level 1. Looking from outside, a more enclosed space is created to give more privacies to the patients in the hospital.
PLAYGROUND On the first floor of this building, a rooftop playground is there to replace the existing play space on the ground level in order to give more space back to the reserve and allow users to enjoy more of the view of Royal park. Front Entrance / Playground
