project statement Reality of the Virtual
project
project 1 - where is the place?
Virtual reality, in the contemporary understanding of the term, is a rather miserable idea – to simply reproduce, in an artificial digital medium, our experience of reality.
subject
dab810 - virtual theme group
format
group work
In discussing the replacement of the original by the copy, virtual reality is severed from its relationship to the natural world. Enchantment, ritual, and other elements associated with the contextual integration of the natural world are displaced by technologies of reproduction. That is to say, “I guess you just had to be there!?”

This was a group project to inform individual projects that follow. The unit was split into theme groups. I was in a Virtual theme group. Meaning we were to deal with an architecture that only exists within virtual space. It was a real mind-fuck. But worth it.
Far more interesting, then, is the notion of the reality of the virtual; producing real effects generated using something that does not yet fully exist, integrated as an extension, not a replacement to the natural world. “Virtual worlds should not be seen as an alternative to the real world, or a substitute, but as an extra dimension which allows us a new freedom of movement in the natural world.” Prof. John Frazer. Applying semiotic theory to Australia’s system of government provides a framework to introduce opportunities that could arise as a result of digital technologies. Government is a system, within the larger meta-system of signs that represent Australia. Government operates through agencies. These agencies use different media of communication to engage the public. Each of these media can be simplified into basic channels of human sensory experience – visual, auditory, linguistic and tactile. Each medium, and therefore agency, is constrained by the channels they use. The effectiveness of government is ultimately limited by the efficiency of these channels and how they are used to relay information. Therefore, it may be possible to improve bilateral communication between government and the Australian public, by addressing issues such as accountability, empowerment, engagement and efficiency. The use of digital technologies will enhance the effectiveness of these channels, enabling public access to a dimension beyond the natural world, providing new freedoms of movement and opportunity.

Project Question: Design a Virtual Australian Parliament that is grounded in the characteristics of indeterminacy and generated with digital technologies. Produce an architecture that does not contain or legitimise an already given or embodied sign system, where form and space could be proposed from an idea that lies within a fluid process of becoming and duration, and of space and time. I proposed an agency that deals with the Digital Afterlife. What happens to us when we die? What happens to our digital legacy? You can find all of my thoughts on my blog.

Micro-homes
A05 Revision:
A05 Revision:
Our research aims to explore the possibility of as a viable option for increased urban density that fosters cohesive communities.
ABSTRACT Brisbane is ripe for change. Significant social and demographic trends are expected to have a major influence over the development of the city during the next few decades. This includes the continued population growth and subsequent housing shortage; the rising prominence of single person households and the implementation of current urban consolidation policies. So what are the options? What role can micro-homes play in the urban consolidation of Brisbane. Based on individual interviews conducted with nine participants, three each from within the building professional, home owner and microhome occupant subset, this research analyses the central benefits and barriers of the micro-home housing type. While previous research and literature has focused extensively on the issues of urban consolidation, high density living and the housing shortage, investigation into the housing types; in particular the micro-home, remains limited. Two primary benefits and barriers emerged from the study. Benefits noted were the ability of micro-homes to foster cohesive communities while also retaining usable green space, while barriers were perceived were the current planning policies and widespread suitability of the micro-home.

As part of the final year, all design students had to conduct a research assignment and prepare a journal article on a chosen topic. Micro Homes - a qualitative study of micro-homes in the urban consolidation of Brisbane. Groups had to conduct qualitative research, using interviews and surveys to construct the basis of their research proposal.
(WHAT IS KNOWN) Population Growth
Housing Shortage As the demographic and social trends that have seen the one person household represent a quarter of all households continue to further expand (Wulff, 2001), the need to provide options within the urban consolidation of Brisbane will continue to prevail. Despite this steady growth in one person households, little research has been conducted into the role of micro-homes as a viable housing typology that can provide urban consolidation. The research shall attempt to differentiate qualitative data from three subsets in order to present a cross-sectional primary analysis of the current benefits and barriers to microhomes within the Brisbane context.

Personal manufacturing technologies will profoundly impact how we design, make, transport, and consume physical products. As manufacturing technologies follow the path from factory to home use, like personal computers, “personalised” manufacturing tools will enable consumers, schools and businesses to work and play in new ways. Emerging manufacturing technologies will usher in an industrial “evolution” that combines the best of mass and artisan production models. Set in Brisbane 2050, Perfact is a place for inspiration, creation and fabrication. Boasting a self-replicating structure manufactured on site, Perfact has become the cultural heart of the city, providing an ephemeral space that celebrates the path from inspiration to fabrication. Following the democratisation of design in the early 21st century, and the advent of universal molecular fabrication technologies, Perfact provides fabrication space, innovative space and public space in a single, ever changing entity. Welcome to Perfact 2050. The future is not what it used to be.

This was achieved through careful design and planning before cutting. The 3D Mรถbius strip was modelled using Grasshopper - a plugin for Rhino and then 3D printed in the workshop. The model is at a scale of 1:200.

BOUNCING BACK is an exhibition showcasing interpretations of urban resiliency by QUT’s
2nd and 4th year undergraduate architecture students. Students have been invited to explore the notion of ‘Bouncing Back’ from the 2011 Queensland floods, in the context of the contemporary Brisbane built environment. Design solutions have been expressed in a variety of forms including emergency shelters, flood-proof housing and a range of urban designs, addressing changing social, cultural, political, technological, and environmental conditions.

The Site Connection
DAB525 ARCHITECTURE IN THE CITY :: Semester 1 2009 :: Jordan Lane :: n5681235
Sitting Landscapes
Sitting Landscapes White sails in the sunset glow a gentle orange as you come to rest upon sandstone steps. You are not alone. The sea birds flying ahead hint at the harbour just to your right, while the constant hum of conversations remind you of the groups of people dotted around you. You are on the steps of the Sydney Opera House.
Yet why have you decided to sit there?
So if elegant design and highly regarded architecture does not necessarily guarantee an activated landscape, what is it that attracts people to the gracefully simple steps of Piccadilly Circus and the Sydney Opera House?
Why out of all the niches in the city, have you been drawn to sit on the very modest steps of a – conventionally speaking – far more elegant and iconic structure? What is the connection between that environment and the city? What is its role? Fig. 1 Concourse 1:500
Fig. 3 Opera House Steps
Fig. 2 Piccadilly Circus 1:500
Fig. 4 Eros Statue
Before further analysis of the specific case studies however, it is important to define and consider the importance in creating a well used sitting landscape in relation to the city.

This project, both a written piece and a visual communication piece investigates the role of the sitting landscape as both architecture and artefact in the city context. Investigating the steps of the Sydney Opera House and Piccadilly circus in London, this project identifies the role of the sitting landscapes. This project is originally in A1 size. To give the project depth, the red outlines represent laser cut timber pieces which were assembled on the poster.
It comes down to a basic human instinct that wherever there is action in a place, the spots which are most inviting, are those high enough to give people a vantage point, and low enough to put them in action. (Fig. 11) It is therefore clear that most people will naturally try to take up a position a few feet above the action. The trouble is that this position will usually have the effect of removing a person from the action. This means that any places which are slightly elevated must also be within easy reach of passers-by, hence on circulation paths, and also directly accessible from below. (Alexander, 1997, p.604)
What is the connection between you and that exact place? Why are you there?

However the opportunity to sit on a public “stage” does not guarantee its site success as a popular public space. Although seating should be available and made physically comfortable, the freedom to choose where to sit in a public space is more important to an individual than the comfort or aesthetics of a seat, this benefit, described by Whyte (1980, p.28) of social space is social comfort. So if social comfort means favourable conditions for moving about in and lingering in spaces, as well as those for participating in a wide range of social and recreational activities, what is it on a human level that connects us to the sitting landscapes?
At first glance it is easy to attribute the popularity of Piccadilly Circus and the Sydney Opera House as well used public spaces to their success as tourist destinations. (Fig. 2,4) Although being a strong contributing factor to their success, this is somewhat of a shallow assumption as the most attractive fountains, the most striking designs, cannot induce people to come and sit if there is no place to sit (Whyte, 1980, p. 28).
You are on the steps of Piccadilly Circus.
The act of sitting, as austere as it may seem, creates many important yet often overlooked demands on the fabric of a city. Gehl (1997, p.157), identifies the correlation between these demands and the ability for people to stay in the city, as only when opportunities for sitting exist can there be stays of any duration.
Likening the city to a stage is not a new concept, and not surprisingly when there are areas in public spaces which are slightly raised and very accessible, people naturally gravitate towards them (Alexander, 1977, p.604).
The Human Connection
A statue towers behind you, yet with it you are not concerned. Sitting on the top of ten octagonal steps, you watch the city float by on foot, wheel, rail, and the unmistakable red of double-decker buses. From here you can see most of the city, its circus, its people, its architecture.
What is the connection between that exact place and its surrounds? Why is it there?
Kostof (1992, p.123) claims streets and quays are primarily places of transit, capturing the public life in momentary pauses from a river of people in motion. He goes on to mention the public place, on the other hand, is a destination, a purpose built stage for ritual and interaction.

Piccadilly Circus and the Sydney Opera House are two fine examples of secondary seating patterns which provide people with a level of choice in sociability by offering an opportunity to arrange themselves into an infinite variety of social groupings.

It is not without mention that the successes of these landscapes rest heavily upon the iconic nature of their surrounds, conversely the success of these structures rest greatly on the ability of their external elements to accommodate a diversity of activity on an elegantly simple landscape.
If these opportunities are few or bad, people just walk on by. This means not only that stays in public are brief, but also that many attractive and worthwhile outdoor activities are precluded. The existence of good opportunities for sitting paves the way for the numerous activities that are the prime attractions in public spaces.
While large expanses of hard open space or row upon row of benches can seem intimidating and unwelcome when only a few people are present, the capacity of sitting landscapes to allow people a vantage point high enough to observe the goings-on and low enough to put them in action.
The City Connection The iconic built forms of the Sydney Opera House and Piccadilly Circus provide instantly recognisable spatial qualities on very contrasting scales. (Fig. 5, 6.) However it is not the importance of these building forms on which this essay shall focus, rather their external spatial elements – the sitting landscapes of their steps – which arguably serve their cities on a much more frequent and personal level than the structures to which they are attached. (Fig. 7,8)
It is this flexible application of space that justifies their role in the architectural intent of the city.

Although they are both visual centres of attention in their respective city settings, at first glance the stark contrasts of scale and architectural intent seem to overshadow any further similarities that may be drawn between the two. However there is a very strong connection between the two – they both provide a sitting landscape – multipurpose elements in city spaces such as a grand stairway arrangement that doubles as a lookout point, a monument, a fountain with a wide, terraced base, or any spatial element designed to serve more than one purpose at the same time. (Gehl, 1997, p.164)

Piccadilly Circus, a very complex and busy traffic interchange provides ten very modest elevated octagonal steps leading up to the statue or Eros in its centre, accommodating up to 100 people at a time. (Fig. 2)

In comparison the Sydney Opera House provides more than 100 metres of continuous seating over more than 50 stepped intervals on its monolithic podium, which also doubles as an auditorium for open air events. (Fig. 1)

Although there is obvious contrast in scale, on any given day there is a congenial interplay of activity upon both landscapes as people connect with each other, the site and the city. (Fig. 11) So why is it that this happens?

I included this in my portfolio as it is my very first attempt at digital modeling and communication. We were taught to use Viz. A digital modelling package I have never used again. The project was to model a stage from a concert act, and communicate the different elements within the design. This was also my first attempt at visual communication by digital means...as you can see I had discovered the gradient tool and was very impressed with it.

Each Christmas I have spent in Sweden I try to create a gingerbread house that reflects an event of the year. In 2010 I worked at the Shanghai World Expo as a guide in the Australian Pavilion. Therefore I decided to create the China Pavilion. I am also hoping to enter the Gingerbread House competition at the Architecture Museum of Stockholm this year.

I designed this wallet in 2011. It is 100% vegetable tanned kangaroo leather. I laser cut the leather which also engraves the trademark of my company llamadilloâ&#x201E;˘ into the inside pocket. The wallet is assembled without glue or stitching and holds Australian currency and credit cards. I hold the design registration for this wallet in Australia and am in the process of registering it within the EU. I have other leather designs which I am working on, specifically a wallet designed for the larger format Swedish notes. Incidentally these will be available for sale soon.
