Interactive Second Skin Virtual Environments 2013 Semester 1, First Year.
Final model, shoulder, back and arm piece
Project Brief The brief calls for an innovative design of a second skin; a wearable volume or surface that accommodates the body. The second skin will explore, measure, and/or negotiate the boundary of personal space. This project was complete in a group of three, yet I was involved in every aspect of the design, including: idea generation, analytical drawings, modeling in Rhino, physical fabrication, photography and post production editing of the photographs.

Biomimetic Bridge in Brunswick Air Studio, 2015 Semester 1, Third Year.
Project Brief The individual project brief involved designing a structure along Merri Creek in Brunswick through computational design by using Rhino and Grasshopper. The architectural intervention had to express, support, amplify or question continuous relationships between technical, cultural and natural systems. Hence, we had to design, test and build innovative, surprising and beautiful three-dimensional forms. I chose to create a bridge like structure that encouraged the user to connect with the creek by being inspired by natural water flow patterns and by not enclosing the user from the creek .

Biomimicry This design was inspired by biomimicry; inspiration was not only taken from the form and materiality of nature, but also through the study of the systems and patterns it uses to solve design issues. I studied the flow patterns of the water and input the data into different algorithms in Grasshopper to achieve a fluid, river like outcome. I believe in order to solve some of the wicked problems that are threatening society that stem from unsustainable human growth, occupancy, and use of finite natural resources, designers need to remember that the rest of the natural would builds things just like us, but these organisms do it in a way that has allowed them to do it for billions of years.

19, 20 30 N1 - Notes about the Site in Clause 1.3.3 of AS 2870-2011. As a result of this, and after considering Clause 2.1.3 of AS 2870-2011 it is evident is currently CLASS P. The abnormal soil conditions come from the removal of the pre-existing building and some impact on the moisture levels of the highly reactive foundation clays. Otherwise, the present ground surface across rock to a depth of 3.5 meters from the existing ground surface. N2- Notes about the Soil

silt top soil grading into high bearing strength, highly reactive in situ basaltic clay. The allocated section we have been assigned is between the bore tests 1 and 5. N3- Notes about Drainage
22
Good site drainage is critical for this site because of its abnormal moister, especially around the proposed footing system and building works. The surrounding ground surface must be permanently graded away from the footing and building works with a slope of at least 50 mm over the via a silt pit to a legal point of discharge.
N4- Notes about Footings
5 10
Where possible excavations close to footings should be avoided. Any footings that are located in the vicinity of an easement or other excavation (including those on other properties) should be deepened accordingly. For sand the critical angle line is 30 degrees from the horizontal while the critical angle line for clay is 45 degrees. Any service clay soil and care should be taken to ensure that the pipe is not damaged. Where the footing system is located within 1500 mm of the edge of the trench it must be ensured that the footings are deepened below the invert of the trench

Project Brief A Motel and Business Headquarters for Dispersed Special Interest Groups, set thirty years from now into the future in the year 2045. The brief had a strong emphasis on program and function. For example: why does this facility exist, why should it be arranged so, why should it work with the streets in those ways, why do people want it and want it just like that? Hence the final outcome is derived from heavy analysis of users, the site, the surrounding site and speculations of Melbourne in 2045.

Project Brief My project for this brief separated the private and public functions required from this building into two separate buildings. The two building rotated around two central lift cores, this rotation creating maximum amount of green space on the outside of the building. This fitted in with my future for Melbourne which i thought would be environmentally friendly and sustainable. The cavity between the two buildings also creates a green urban space that is user friendly, creating a community feel.
