DISSECTION Autumn 2014 Architectural Communications Much like how a plan and section of a building shows the interior workings of a design, we were given the task to draft a chosen object of choice, in this case a solar powered f lower toy. In order to grasp a more intimate understanding of how it worked, we pulled the toy apart and disected it to explore its interior configuration. We were to use drafting softwares such as Rhinoceros and AutoCAD to replicate each component accurately, somewhat like what can be found in an IKEA instruction manual, where the visual communication of the toy had to be drawn in all its honesty.

C H I L D R E N S PAV I L I O N Autumn 2014 Architecture Studio The design process began by using the concept of the push + pull of people within Victoria Park as a way to inform the siting and organisational planning of the spaces within the pavilion. We began by taking the concept of push+pull and thinking about it in it’s most simplified form. Thus we saw push and pull as forces and reactions, doors that pivot to either be pushed or pulled, and finally being inspired by the game “Jenga� which asks its players to laterally push and pull each block out of the tower without the structure collapsing. The childrens pavilion, thus, becomes a f lexible space which allows the children to modify, alter and change each space according to whatever activity they are interacting with. This architecture allows for the creation of spaces that are confined yet open.

H O U S E O F C E L E B R AT I O N Autumn 2014 A r c h i t e c t u r a l Te c h n o l o g i e s The fundamental concept behind this design was to sink the hall of celebration partially underground, and to blanket the building with a grassy hill so as to reinforce the relationship between the building and the earth. Because of the building’s deep connection to the earth, it was imperative to incorporate this relationship into the construction. This inf luenced our decision to use cladding materials such as stone to inspire a sense of mass as guests begin to experience the atmosphere of the design. We were to take into account each environmental factor afftecting the site, and thus designed a humble hall, void of excessive decorations in order to house the great f lexibility of events that may occur within, in which we chose to exploit the views surrounding instead.

PUBLICK HOUSE Spring 2014 Architecture Studio + History/Theory Inspired by the architecture of Adolf Loos, the Publick House is a project which includes a pub, brothel and casino. Through the researching of Loos’ fundamental design principles, I have extracted their most basic design workings, watering them down then taking their essense and implementing them back into the design of this Publick House. Given the programs, Adolf Loos’ priciples of surveillance, power and control were a key driving factor to how each program was situated in conjunction with the circulation paths used to navigate around the architecture, allowing the Publick House to function safely and securely.
exploded axonometric
P R O G R A M Pushed to the wall of the building behind it, allowing an interior courtyard space to ocupy most of the site, forcing visitors to tresspass this ‘viewing area’ by placing the main entrance at the corner that is seen by all .
I N N E R S K I N Utilising the common brick and its ‘heavy’ qualities, the inner wall is able to convey just how “contained” the Publick House is. However, in contrast, brick can also be quite open depending on its configuration. In some areas, a brick screen is used to ensure light penetration through to the pub, casino and brothel.
concept model
S T R U C T U R E Due to the ‘slits’ within the inner, brick skin, structural steel members - universal beams - are place at regular intervals within the brick wall to support the steel lintels that hold up the brick in order for gaps within the wall to be possible.
C I R C U L A T I O N The main circulation through the Publick House is through a series of ramps that circulate between the two skins. It is divided into two, where the circulation path to the brothel will never meet the path to the more public areas such as the pub and casino.
O U T E R S K I N The second skin is glass, surrounding the circulation ramps. This allows those on the street, passing by and those in the surrounding buildings to have a constant view of the movement of people within, however without actually seeing the activities of the interior, behind the walls.

Autumn 2015 A r c h i t e c t u r e S t u d i o + Te c h n o l o g i e s place of congregation by a group of people
In third year studio, we were randomly given two unrelated programs to place within a habitable bridge. My two programs are a multi-faith chapel and cinema. The relationship between these two programs that I have drawn out are their dependency on either light or darkness, both that function as time based programs with certain set running schedules, and how both require a degree of focus. With these in mind, I have gathered these guidlines into the concept of time as the underlying factor which ties both programs together (or apart).

A D D I T I O N S A N D A LT E R AT I O N S Spring 2015 Professional Practice
900mm side and rear setback
In Professional Practice, we were given a “real” brief and site within a suburban location, by which we were to design a residential solution by means of altering an existing dwelling for the needs of our client.
retain existing tree N
50% allowable site coverage for lots between 450-900sqm
The existing dwelling on 78 Bland Street is quite out-dated and in need of a reorganisation in order to be utilised to its full potential. The clients’ request offers an opportunity to provide a more specialised solution to their needs on this site. The site is not located in an area of Ashfield that is zoned as a heritage conservation area, providing an opportunity of expressing the changing, yet sympathetic trends of the immediate neighbourhood. The proposed design ultimately seeks to provide a solution that will improve the amenity of the site, whilst not significantly reducing the amenity of the neighbouring properties. The proposed design also expresses a form, bulk and materiality that respects the height and scale of the surrounding context, but is innovative and modest in its architectural address to the street.

THE A(RCH/IVE) GALLERY Spring 2015 Architecture Studio + Communications In our last semester studio, we were a brief to design an architecture gallery, located amongst and between the collection of civic buildings on Macquarie Street and the Domain in the city. Throughout the duration of this design studio, a constant underlying factor that has been feeding my concept has been the landscape, whether it be the built cityscape of the civic buildings on Macquarie Street to the west or the communal landscape of the Domain to the east. At this point in the design process, it was clear that the architecture gallery to be designed on the site given must be a means of creating a median transition space between the two types of -scapes. Therefore, through a reiterative design process, a parametric form (with early inspiration taken from Utzons’ design principles of the podium beam) has been utilised to create interior and exterior spaces that undulate above and below ground level to create a duality of spaces. This undulating wave form, as seen when cross-sectionally sliced, composes a series of types of landscapes, such as plateaus, maintains, valleys, plains and hills that seemingly rise up from the east, to a form that abruptly stops before it hits its built neighbours to the west.
