HELLO! My name is Jonathan Yasamarn and I have recently graduated from Architecture in the University of Technology, Sydney. Architecture has always been a fascination to me as it combines the strongest aspects of my personality; an intrigue of functional art form; an enthusiasm for solving practical problems; and a commitment with working with other people. This fascination stems from my intrigue in exploring endless possibilities of innovative design to revolutionise and contribute to the development of the built and human environment. Harnessed by skills in lateral thinking, computer-aided design and creative techniques, this portfolio is a collection of select works from my architectural studies to demonstrate my enthusiasm for the discipline and my proficiency in its representation.

D E PA R T M E N T O F D E AT H A N X I E T Y Headquarters of Death Anxiety at a Rehabilitated Queen Victoria Building Multi-function City Public Centre
Project Type Urban Planning of Sydney Location Southern Sydney Central Business District George Street, Sydney, nsw 2000 Studio Tutor Alberto Quizon from QUIZON Project Statement In order to be a resilient design, considerations must be made for the potential of stresses, threats, and eventual collapse. Similarly, in order to be a resilient person, we must possess an intrinsic awareness of our mortality, that is, our own potential for demise. Currently, we lack an awareness for our Death Anxiety, where we seek to distract ourselves from the reality of our own temporality of anxiety. The Department of Death Anxiety seeks to confront the occupant with the reality of death to motivate the user into an anxiety for the wellbeing of others. The focus of this studio is the exploration of Resilience, specifically through the lens of death.

The aim of the building is to shed light on the futility of retail that users will venture away from an anxiety of death to one for others. This is achieved by oscillating programs that are concerned with individual motives or collective motives. As a result, a rythmic tension between uses are woven through the floors of the department.

T H E E D U C AT I O N D I S T R I C T A School for Education and a City for Learning Diversifying the Organisation of Students Daily life
Project Type New School and Pedagogical System Location Chalmers Street, Surry Hills, NSW Sydney 2010 Studio Tutor Roberto Fattoretto from CHROFI Project Statement The capstone project for the final Design Studio was a competition to design a vertical school in an authentic Prince Alfred Park Site located in Surry Hills. Designing a wholistic approach to the project, students formulated their own pedagogical design solutions to their studies. ‘The District’ is a school that decentralised the schooling experience through architecture. It sought to distinguish the experiences of education and learning, so that students discover it through the surrounding urban fabric. The result is a proud architectural monument, one that invites the city itself to permeate through its halls, voids, and towers; obscuring the traditional thresholds that contain our experience of the School.

6000 STUDENTS Are expected to arrive in sydney before 2020 in a population that shows no signs of slowing down
The Site is rich in satellite programs that are severely underutilised during schooling hours - Galleries, Theatres, Studios, and Businesses offer students unique, real world environments to engage with and learn in to apply their knowledge. ACCESS ROUTES FROM CITY TO SCHOOL WALK ROUTES TOWARDS SATELLITES
How can a city fit such a high volume of students? And, How can Schools effectively cater to the idividualisation of their cohorts?
BUILD more schools, BETTER schools
The solution is not to But to build
As student populations are increasingly diverse, the content that they are interested in will systematically organise the schools pedagogial systems Students are offered the liberty to decide how they structure their education day, therefore increasing intake

EDUCATION = LEARNING
THE DISTRICT
EDUCATION IS RECIEVED, CENTRALLY AT THE INSTITUTE AND THEN APPLIED AUTONOMOUSLY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CITY
While each typology demands unique conditions, it is imperative that all education spaces remain adjacent to a continual, subversive mass that unifies the building, constantly drawing the occupats out into the wider fabric.
By reducing EDUCATION to 7 contact hours per week, not only is self driven LEARNING made paramount, but 3 streams of students can coexist in one facility
THE INSTITUTE Provides a sequence from education, to application, to evaluation as the students progress vertically from secure functional spaces and out into the public realm
By allowing an extension of the city to infiltrate the building, the school itself becomes not the institute, but the district. LECTURE

Thus the threshold of the school institute must provide safety and boundaries - TERMINALS are inserted into the peripheral corners of the busy adjacent road

KURSAAL Facade Redesign of Performance Centre Resourceful and Sustainable Consideration to Develop Innovative Facade Systems
Project Type Advanced Facade System Location ZurrĂola Hiribidea, 1, 20002 Donostia Gipuzkoa, Spain Studio Tutor Paula Vigeant Project Statement Advanced Architectural Construction involved the critical analysis of an existing facade system and the subsequent performative redesign of that facade through computational design. Through a process of environmental analysis and simulation, the existing facade system of the convention centre at Kursaal was redesigned to incorporate systems and technologies that would use the conditions of the site and the orientation of the existing mass. The following pages articulates the parametric processes involved in analysing, instancing, and deploying a new Facade System.

The final outcome of Kursaals Redesigned Facade integrates and hyberdises developing renewable energy technologies into a unitised system. A system intentionally rationalised at the unit scale of the panel, strategising the position and typology of each single bit for every surface of the existing Kursaal Structure.
