GAIA

Gaia was featured in The Queensland Museum’s Seasonal Magazine, Antena. Later, the furniture piece was adopted by the museum to be permanently displayed in the Cafe area.
Project: Furniture Studies Group Project Year: 2014 Objects are often only used for their intended purpose. Perhaps as designers we need to look at an object not for what it is, but for what it could be. The spoon is seen as a modest eating utensil, designed to be an extension of our fingers. By using the organic form of the humble spoon, Gaia gives it new life, taking the spoon beyond its original intention and into the realm of fantasy. As a group of designers, we felt drawn to the texture and imagery of the spoons when layered together. Looking beyond the spoon and it’s traditional use, we began to envision scales. Leading us to the mystery of the Lochness monster. Providing structure and stability, beneath the spoon skin of Gaia is his skeleton. Manipulating, cutting and welding a combination of flat bar and steel tubing, a rib cage like structure was formed. Mesh was then laid over this skeleton to provide a foundation for the spoons to be placed. Riveted aluminum portrays the monsters “belly” and in combination with the spoon skin, Gaia is brought to life.

“Commune” from old french “comuner” - to make common, share The concept for BNE Commune emerged after investigating the challenges faced by new Mothers in 2015. Research suggested that social connection, learning,relaxation, and opportunity to work can all alleviate the stresses associated juggling parenthood and life. The project brieft responds to this by focusing on creating an envionment within which one can learn, share experiences, connect with nature, and work. The project aim is to encourage growth and wellbeing of self and of community. The journey begins in the ‘front yard’, an area enclosed by a tripple height faceted green wall. The circulation space becomes the hero of the interior environment thanks to the expansive void within which the stair sits. The stair connects each floor and functions as a wayfinding device, taking visitors from the ground floor greenspace to the Terrace on the third level. Other spaces include a coffee bar, lounge/ library, coworking space, resting quarters and creche.

First impressions are an integral part of any hotel experience.With this in mind Quartz has approached the design of the lobby and reception space with much care and attention to fine detail. The space expresses the angular and geometric design language established in our brief, while maintaining a luxurious, classy and sultry feeling. The cold, harsh quality of concrete is softened by the sensual and textural qualities of leather and velvet; and through the use of warm brushed brass accents. This bold selection of contrasting finishes helps to define key design elements within the space.

NYC STUDY TOUR QUT Project: Assessable Blog.
50
After a lacklustre year, I’m jumping out of my skin to be here in New York City. With only two days under my belt here in the Big Apple, I’m feeling rather accomplished and inspired already. My apartment is beautiful and I’ve actually squeezed in quite a lot, despite battling some severe jet lag Observing the TCS New York Marathon and successfully finishing one half of a famous Reuben sandwich from Katz Delicatessen are definitely two experiences worthy of a quick mention here (note: I will give these two quintessential NYC experiences some more glory in posts to come). I’ll be here for just shy of two months – first and foremost for uni, but also for a much needed holiday! I was fortunate enough to nab a spot on QUT’s Creative Industries International Study Tour at the beginning of this year – an opportunity which I’m incredibly thankful for. Initially, I thought that two months wandering the streets of New York City in exchange for 12 credit points was a pretty good deal. It wasn’t long before I realised how much more I could get out of this experience beyond a few credit points. As its name suggests, the purpose of the tour is to investigate New York City’s creative culture. Experiencing the city’s cultural life through a creative lens will be invaluable to my career and creative practice as a designer. Basically, I’m on a quest to do and see as much as I possibly can to find out what makes New York City such an inspiring place. And so, I bring to you the very first post in this blow-by-blow account of my New York City escapades. I foresee that the posts to come will feature copious amounts of food pics (apologies in advance), a few shameless selfies, and some amazing architecture among many other exciting and interesting things that I come across in my travels. Word of warning, there will come times (like this post) where I need to write more lengthy posts (waffle) as part of my assessment. Bon Nuit L.

Investigating the creative culture of New York City in none other than the city itself was an incredible opportunity. Although I had been to New York once before, this tour presented me with a chance to consciously experience the city through a design lens and with a heightened cultural and creative awareness. My studies in design have encouraged me to be more receptive to both people and my surroundings. With these new skills I was able to rediscover the city and try to demystify the distinct creative identity that New York City has cultivated. During my 2 month stay in New York I visited countless museums, went to two Broadway shows, experienced the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, walked the High Line, wandered through Central Park – to list all of things I did and saw would be an insanely long list. I learnt a lot as a result of this immersive learning experience, about the city and about myself as a person and as a designer. Throughout the tour I reaffirmed that in order for people to feel connected to their city, they need to be able to form ‘place’ connections. Therefore the design of meaningful public spaces is important. New York does this through activating dead spaces within the city. I also developed a keen interest in urban design and the way in which a city is influenced by the built environment. Last but not least, I broadened my perspective

about other creative disciplines and realised that the future an interdisciplinary approach to creative endeavours will be standard. Participating in this study tour appealed to me for several reasons, many of which I’m sure are obvious. Initially, I thought, “Two months wandering the streets of New York City in exchange for 12 credit points? Yes!”. But, it wasn’t long before I realised just how much more I could get out of this experience beyond simply feeling like a globetrotter. Experiencing the city’s cultural life through a creative lens will be invaluable to my career and creative practice as a designer. As expected I’ve come away from the experience feeling like I have a genuine and balanced understanding of how New York City’s creative culture works. It thrives and feeds off of itself in a cyclical fashion. There is a balance between creative scenes that operate in a fairly loose and organic way without too much intervention and those that are more rigid and organised. Being surrounded by creative people and creative projects encourages one to push the boundaries in their own way of thinking to be more innovative as opposed to complacent.
