Can the act of reconciliation be performed through open-ended architecture? WOMIN(D)JEKA
IMMIGRATION MUSEUM OF VICTORIA, MELBOURNE CBD During the colonisation period after 1835, architecture in Australia has been using to value foreign values, ideology, culture, and species. The same goes for the immigration museum or previously Custom House. Peter Kerr (1850s) designed this building with a neo-classic style of Ionic columns and symmetry elevation. This building had been using as a Melbourne city welcome mat for immigrants for over a century. If the first building immigrants show the knowledge and the relationship the First Nations Peoples have with their Country, would the discrimination and cultural assimilation by the settlers happen? Womin(d)jeka project investigates the possibility for reconciliation with the traditional owners by having the First Nations Peoples’ culture, history, and stories influence the design outcomes. This project further pushes the limits of typical projects by having local communities and Traditional owner designers use this project as a placeholder to represent their culture in their ways.

COUNTRY OF OPPORTUNITIES Birrarung was the main access point of Melbourne city for immigrants, exporters, and importers. The settlements around Custom house led to a boom of business around the Queen wharf (the area around Enterprize park in the present). The first settlers and immigrants used Birrarung mainly for capital gain. But on the other spectrum, for the First Nations Peoples, Birrarung is a place where they would come annually for camping, food gathering, and other significant cultural related matters. This phenomenon led to questions: How can the new promenade reconnect people to the land, water, and sky? How to make this project not just rooted in its context, but also to provide much-needed employment to communities during its construction?

BLANKETED THE COUNTRY Melbourne city has covered itself with concrete and asphalt, made the land topography flat disconnecting people from the Country. How can the architects make the new intervention to acknowledge the land and diverse landform of this Country? The slopes and hills provide opportunities to design a playground for social activity with the sand area for outdoor play, connecting people to land and sky. Moreover, the lifting of topology creates shelters for local native foods markets stores and food trucks for users to learn more about the abundance of bush foods.

CONNECTING TO SURROUNDING Architecture has many times been define by its perimeter. It cuts itself from the surrounding for the sake of pureness of form. This ideology has removed the building from its context, making people less acknowledge the land. This project aims to create a seamless experience between the inside and outside. The sequences of gradually changing of space height and large openings establish physical and visual connections of the exterior and interior.
OPEN-ENDED ARCHITECTURE The fence of the immigration museum was constructed with bent steel in a pointy fashion to prevent people from freely access this building. But could the fence of the building become a part that weaving the people from different backgrounds and cultures together? The open-ended mesh fence provided opportunities for local weavers and artists to enrich the urban space and enclosure of the new immigration museum with cultures. Womin(d)jeka I 11

BUILDING ON COUNTRY To reconcile means to acknowledge the strong points of different parties. How the architectural project combines the strength of Western and Traditional Owners together to create a future where the two can exist together harmoniously? By combining the western knowledge of spatial design and the Aboriginal knowledge of the Country, the project can become richer and acknowledge the value of the Country and Science simultaneously.

THE MESSIER THE MERRIER After the cultural assimilation and lost generation, many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders have western ancestors from many places. How can architecture represent the interconnectedness that people have in society? Materiality and the connection in this project are joined with the interlocking system or have a messy connection. To demonstrate the actual situation of the ATIS people and how Western and Traditional Owners can work together for Australia or a place many people call home today. Womin(d)jeka I 13

Can the Prison be reinterpreted for Social cohesion? 500
DOPE DIVISION
PENTRIDGE PRISON, COBURG Pentridge prison had been using as a tool to manipulate and rehabilitation of the inmates. With the penal philosophy of “Separation and Silence”. The pentridge prison became a tool of psychological punishment for the prisoners. This proposal aims to take on the historical site and reinterpretation it in a manner that accessible by the public and emded as part of the urban fabric. History is a tool that has long used to narrate and cotrol citizen by the authorities. However, selective preserving one period of time, leading to an emphasize of one culture over another. The citizen should own Historical sites or places collectively that accessible and elevate their culture and tradition, forming a collective identity from a diversity. This proposal aims to create a difficulty whole that embraces the past rather than rejecting it. Creating an inclusive environment allows people of different to co-exist with the right to tell their own story.

Spark & Socialise
DOPE DIVISION I 15
This proposal is an intervention that insert on to the existing historical D Division of Pentridge Prison. We stand for the inclusion between the past, the present and the future that embrace and support each other. The periphery wall of Pentridge excludes itself from the nearby community. This proposal reconnects the Pentridge site to the local communities by organising the spaces that allow community connection from the middle town to downtown and from the east to west. The boundary created by massing strategy creates multiple urban interiors between the heritage D Division building and the new interventions. We aim to reinterpret history to create social reconciliation that does not deny the past but embracing it.

Historical buildings should not be excluded from the community, limiting the accessibility from the public.This proposal aims to create a smooth transition between the present and the past. Taking advantage of the existing D Division, the new intervention allows people to transition between interior and exterior. Creating a rich experience of occupying the heritage building and reinterpreting the value of its. By removing some parts and adding new elements, the heritage building would turn into permeable walls that accessible for all the users. Market laneway is the smallest and the most concentrated area of this project. A marketplace is a place where people from the different area can learn about local history from the local people. The rich and vibrant of the local culture would exhibit and transfer between the users of this space. The government should use architecture for supporting people to tell their own story not for controlling the narrative of history. The spatial organisation of this place creates a visual connection between the disconnected site. Our proposition aims to position itself as a vehicle of connectivity for the people. 18 I KITRAWEEE RUDEEJARUSWAN

Can the new intervention liberate city block from hoddle grid? CIVIC LAB
CITY BLOCK, CBD City planning of Melbourne are influence by the military barrack planning. The plots allocation and division are designed for the efficiency of control, forbiding citizen to roam in effectively. The emerging built environment can neutralize the existing built environment by understanding how current system effecting on citizen perception of institution. By using elements in the proposition such as 3D civic printings, Civic platform, Recycling plants and Promenade ramps. These elements help to neutralize each POWER elements from the governments that disperse in our society. Each element will help the citizen to learn about the art of citizenship. The art of citizenship is a study program that advocate for stopping the illiteracy in civic activities. Since people who wield disproportionate influence on power used the old-guard of current political system. DISCIPLINE CREATES OUT OF FOUR TYPE OF INDIVIDUALLITY

This proposition endeavors to establish an ecosystem that support learning from bottom up. At the lower level, citizen will learn about the existing power elements in the built environment to understand what things are controlling them. Then at the civic platform in the middle, this place would be a place where citizen practice their power in an open area where citizen is free and inviolable built environment.

Can edge typologies (factory, petrol, cemetry) become a suburb instigator? PERIPHERY ARCHITECTURE MELBOURNE AIRPORT VIEWPOINT
Periphery architecture is a research on the architecture that transformable and adaptable with the town development from industrialise to residential area. The combination between a wall and canopy typology influence the design of The industries that had been choosing to demonstrate the periphery condition in architecture is “Precast Factory”. It is an industriy that heavily relies on the existing infrastructure to operate thoroughly. Three features need to support the precast factory. The first one is power supplies, connecting to the electrical power supply. Secondly is the quarry. This site would be a place where minerals are excavated and crushed to a fine aggregate. The last requirement for the precast factory is the mineral processing plant where all mineral sorted into different type before delivering to the precast factory.
