J ME LEE undergraduate architectural portfolio by jaime lee [Selected Work Samples] February 2016
PERSONAL STATEMENT Design to me is an intimate self expression, it is unique and full of personality, it is a form of communication and a form of art. Artchitecturally, design is a bridge that connects self expressions of the designer and the needs of the clients and corresponding communities while in parallel of respecting local cultures and the sustainability of environments. I’m a believer of ‘past informs the present’, learning about the history of architecture and urban cultures helped me in making relevant design choices and reminded me constantly the importance of respecting cultures and communities during a design process. The past 3 years studying at the University of Melbourne has educated me not only knowledge and practice on architecture but also trained me as a mature adult in dealing with life situations and decision. I have become an organised and determined adult with a clear vision of what I want to achieve in life and in my career. Endurance has grown within myself where I am able to walk through challeges and difficult times with a healthy state of mind. In the few years to come, I have a clear goal to learn the most from ‘the industry through work experiences while giving my best to the company I will be working for through putting my passion and knowledge into practice.

Future Architecture 2015 Architecture Design Studio:Air Thinking 30 years ahead, this project stimulates design considerations on the urban and human living cultures that impact the way architecture would transform into. Detailed architectural documentations, structural composition and considerations on services are required to support the design #futureurbanculture #architecturaltransformation

The Tri-slucence embraces the emergence of diversity and encourages interpersonal collaboration through architecture. The notion of transparency and translusency runs throughout the design of architectural features and human experiences (both occupants and pedestrians).
Concept - Tri-parency Our society now is leaning towards to collaborative world, rather than an intimate personal growth in a workďŹ eld, collaration is highly celebrated where the exchange of ideas between people are encouraged. Hence the concept of the design is to highlight the growing train of creativity and thoughts interpersonally in society by integrating high levels of transparency when making architectural design choices.

Living Architecture 2015 Architecture Design Studio:Air The project utilises parametric and computational design techniques to explore challanges and possibilities they impact on architecture while also integrating such into the designing process to envision future living of architecture and the urban environment. #parametrics #sustainability #urbanarchitecture

Green Barrier / A Futuristic Sustainable Intervention The design scheme allows users to be aware and experience the impact human behaviours directly have on the health and quality of nature through physically passing under an abstracted mesh-like form developed with the assistance of parametric design. The intervention ultimately represents barriers human themselves are producing that are keeping them away from a desirable natural environment. An experience of discovering vegetation is added to the design, allowing users to gradually see clearer glimpses of greenry towards the end of the journey, potentially raising questions such as why are there barriers keeping us from the greenery? Why does the nature look so close but yet we are unable to enjoy it?

Evolving Architecture 2014 Architecture Design Studio:Water Past informs present. Through studying the works of Mies van de Rohe, the essence of his style and core designing philosophies are required to be captured in a boathouse that is designed in present time while also displaying a sense of evolving architectural qualities. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What would Mies do if he were to design this boathouse?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; #studythepast #modernarchitecture #designphilosophy

Construction Design 2015 Construction Design Building up on previous study on residential construction methods, this unit provides an all-rounded and practical introduction to commercial construction regulations and methods. Knowledge are utilised completely through analysing the construction details and build-up of a designated section of a case study building, producing a detail axonometric drawing ; and conolidated by creating a physical model of the section. #AutoCAD #construction #structuralbuildup
