Prologue “If you can’t understand it without an explanation, you can’t understand it with an explanation.” — Haruki Murakami, 1Q84 I don’t know what’s the best way to describe this semester, all I would really tell you is that it has been a mixture of vexing and stressful emotions that has turned my head space into a black hole. It’s quite terrifying really, yet it somehow managed to push me to achieve some sort of an outcome. In all honesty, I didn’t expect my semester to be like this. The sudden jump of designing individual buildings to understanding the systems of the urban landscape was definitely a challenge, yet it was also a stressful experience for me, especially what we constantly worked in different groups. Oddly enough, was my interest in urban design that provoked me to study architecture. Now that I’ve been given a taste of urbanism it has made me rethink my methods of design, approaches to design and the appreciation of working with various scales - for now I think I’m still quite afraid of accepting these factors but hopefully time and experience will change that. I can’t tell you precisely what I have learned from this semester. Though I will be able to tell you that it this studio has made me become more aware of who I was as a person and how much I have changed within these years of architecture. To start from a student walking into this field with no knowledge of who Frank Ghery or Le Corbusier was to now understanding that any small matter is big matter or that there is no actual definition to what architecture really is - it has been a humbling three years, and I am forever thankful for that.
Chapter I In which she realised that it program and space will be the defying factor The first two weeks was understanding the “void” and “volume”. At the start of the lesson we were given a system (waste) and strategy (Landscape Urbanism). I was given Decamping Detroit to study and see the effects of overlaying their strategies on top of the block of QV and consider the possible programs that would ignite from the overlay. It was from this I realise that Volume and Scale would be a challenge for me to understand throughout this semester.

Chapter II In which she realised that it was the mass and the space inbetween would defy who she really is The next part was understanding the 1:20 FAR. This was the toughest part considering that I was yet to understand what Landscape Urbanism was. Furthermore, we had to be in our system groups (waste in my case) and overlay strategies to make a waste system work. This was the hardest part yet due to the lack of properly understanding the amount of waste, and also not fully comprehending waste management.
Chapter III In which she understood that compromising will be a hard task The most complex task was understanding how each strategy had their own distinctive style, and trying to understand how to accommodate what was appropriate and fitting was challenging. To make things harder, it was understanding the various types of waste systems available and also how to take advantage of those.

Phase 02 (20 years later)
- Reclamined land is slowly being vegetated and programmed Land slowly plotted for greenery
Phase 03 (5-10 years)
-Reclaimed land is now a green space that acts as a barrier between different programmed areas -New spaces for water tower and also a tram line Water tower and tram stop

Chapter IV In which combining systems was even more of a challenge Then came the drastic swap, where I was thrown into the Landscape Urbanism group... As we were doing individual types of systems we had to understand how it affects on different blocks. I decided to investigate landfill - bit off more than I could chew.

Chapter V When Mid Semester Came Once again our groups have been reshuffled. I found myself working with Mat Urbanism Waste, New Urbanism Mobility and Metabolist Mobility. We had to devise a way to combine our strategies to make it a successful one, I learnt that scale can be greatly underestimated. There was also individual work, in this case, I explored a catalyst strategy and also understand how to manage waste storage. It was fun - however, at that point I was still trying to understand what I wanted to achieve for this studio.

Waste Sorting and Mobility Hybrid Set Up
IN WHICH THEY REALISE THAT THEY HAVE TO TIP TOE THEIR WAY AROUND L.U., Waste & Water, 01, Kimberley Kiera Hui Abstract Working in conjunction with the stages of sewage systems, we focus on the placement of the outputs of the tertiary outputs of the sewage treatment - Biosolids. We willl take a single block that is scheduled to be demolished, from there, two buildings are selected to be replaced with tanks that would allow storage and aeration of Biosolids that could later be collected an redistributed for agriculture, building or landfill. The placement of the tanks will ultimately also dictate how people and buildings will fit within the space otherwise understand the possible connections that could arise from the introduction of these systems.
The Components - Single Block within four blocks - The selected block must be scheduled for demolishing - Must be placed on corner outer edge conditions to condition the possible odours that could arise from the tanks - A high rise building that is connected to the Biosolid tanks

Planning Placement Study (From Previous Landfill Studies)
IN WHICH THE COMPANIES REALISE THAT TO GET A PRIME LOCATION THEY NEED TO CREATE THE APPROPRIATE WASTE L.U., Waste, 02, Kimberley Kiera Hui Abstract In order to decide what type of program is to be distributed around the area, we propose that specific recycling stations needs to be placed in order to have a more efficient system in terms of waste recovery and redistribution of recycled items. In this case, selecting three empty blocks, a glass recovery and recycling facility will be built.
1. Introducting a glass recycling centre
The primary function of the center is to introduce programs that are the result of the inputs and outputs that comes from the cycle of glass being created, used and thrown away.
2. Later addition of programs that requires outputs from the centre

Chapter VI In which she played the volume game Step back and study precedent cities (tied in with history). I studied areas around Tokyo and played wtih City Engine Codes. It was amusing and entertaining at the same time, especially when I attempted to overlay it onto Fisherman’s Bend.

Chapter VIII In which she was thrown into another group This time we had to combine our strategies based on our patents that we proposed during Mid Semester Presentation. I was grouped with Water and Two Logistics. Somehow rather than using my Patent strategy I was tasked to understand soil and landfill.

Waste Statistics (between 2009-2010)
5.7 million tonnes of waste was produced from the Australian Economy (Imports included) 31% of the waste was generated from the Construction Industry 37% of the waste generated from industries and household are masonry materials 24% of the waste generated from industries and household are organic waste 12% of the waste generated from industries and household are cardboard and paper

Chapter VIII In which she realise the scale of landfill will be the death of her As the chapter title suggests... I was having a hard time understanding the processes of landfill. Primarily it was the scale and also knowing the limitations that was the big issue.
a. landfill could be dug down and be used for carpark
b. artificial ground could be used to â&#x20AC;&#x153;capâ&#x20AC;? the landfill using the gas produced from the landfill to provide electricity via the infrastructure built on top of artificial ground
c. landfill could potentially be reclaimed and be used as a public park otherwise a recreational space
d. be used as a solar panel station and allow electricity to be distributed around the area
Landfill at 30x30m
Buildings are taller as they radiate away from the landfill
Large area that could be reclaimed and used for property development Wider roads for Public park can be more truck access an option (depending on what surrounds it)

Chapter VIII In which she realise the scale of landfill will introduce all kinds of limitations The problem with landfill is that it can remove a huge chunk of profitable estate. So what are we suppose to do?
industrial waste to lay out the foundations of the landfill the process should take around 5-10 years - Followed by accepting of household/organic wastes - All wastes will be collected by the council of Port Phillip and the waste must be processed via the recovery facility (recovery facility may grow and expand)
a boundary for the landfill
- 1m heigh of fresh soil will be placed to separate waste from contaminating
the original soil of Fishermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bend (Possibly soil remediation treatment
on site beforehand)
- Three entrances, one entrance designated for private cars
two other entrances for wide trucks
- placement of two recovery facilities near where the
truck entrances are
- South end to receive industrial waste (for
business in)
would most likely bring residential and commercial
- North End to receive residential waste (canal
industrial/ commercial and also construction waste)

Bar-Coding Fisherman’s Bend Nitsan Bartov, Kimberley Hui, Guy Kerem, Sam Zhao
Chapter VIIII
For our selected area within Zone 2 of Fisherman’s Bend, we decide to introduce an artificial canal from the Yarra River and also a highway extending from the West Gate Freeway. The implementation of these two infrastructure will cause certain tensions in not only the edges where they meet, but also in spaces that would foster new programs that benefits from these new additions. These newly created pressures are taken advantage of and are turned into new possible hybrid infrastructures and programs, bringing fourth new possibilities and perhaps an improved kind of ecology that could be replicated within Fisherman’s Bend.
The “Bar Code” Application
In which she realise that End of Semester is Happening Development of the Areas that can be replicated in Stages
Our proposed design was mainly about regeneration. What was helpful during the end of semester review was how each proposal had the challenge of understanding the scale and process over time. As many of our design were more schematic and process based, it was hard to make confident decisions on the formalised

Proposal 1// The Canal The introduction of Canals is not only used allow direct access of material deliveries to construction sites, but also to catalyst certain building typologies which provides economic benefits along the Canals, and semi-shared spaces in-between to encourage the development of a community
Proposal 2// The Landfill Within Bringing the landfill into the dense area aims to bring awareness of waste management within the everyday experience. The landfill is an overtime process that would provide potential programs for those who live and work around it. As the landfill would be reclaimed many years later, it could open up potentials for various kinds of activity.

Bachelor Studio Review Response Name: Kimberley Kiera Hui Date of review: 29/08/2016 Studio: ARC3001 Your Studio instructor: Peter Charles Studio review attended: Martians â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tom Morgan I. Give a brief description of the studio/ projects you observed at the review (2-3 sentences): Martians explores various architectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; manifestos about utopia. Through the exploration of the manifestos coupled with theories of approach to utopia, each student presents a narrative that either reflects, abstracts or modifies the principles of utopia they have studied and create a possible harmonious master plan or system that could possibly be imposed on Planet Mars.
II. Provide a considered
reaction to the review you observed. (2-300 words) What did you learn from the review presentation(s)? Compare and contrast approaches to the theme with your current studio pursuits? What insights have you gained that might inform your studio pursuits? In comparison to my studio, the strategies and approaches that was displayed in Martians is to a certain extent shares certain principles otherwise theories that instigated our design process. What I thoroughly enjoyed during the presentations were how the students each provided a narrative that sets up an atmosphere for their approach while still maintaining a theoretical principle. In contrast to the design intentions between the studio, I find that Martians, despite being a strategic planning, they are more focused on the occupancy of people, whereas in our studio, we are more focused on the occupancy of systematic principles that would challenge how people occupy various spaces otherwise occupy around the systems that we have intercepted within the given area. However, both studios do require the consideration of planning at different scales in order to successfully articulate the potentials of their proposals. Furthermore, because Martians is about the settlement and the change over time in approaches to utopia, I liked how the project is a time based strategy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is something that I am currently focusing on, thus allowing me to consider the diagrammatic representations that I need to focus on.
