MASTERS THESIS STUDIO
//THE ATHERTON IDENTITY THESIS: NOTIONS OF HOME YEAR 5, Semester 2, 2014
The brief for this thesis studio explores the notions of home and the potential for us to question and to push the boundaries of the existing homes in Melbourne. As identified by Gustafson, the distinct place attachment individuals develop is a vital resource of both individual and cultural identities. Through this concept of home as identity, this design explores the relationship between the design of built form and its integral function in forming place identity and ownership. The demographics of the Atherton Gardens community consist of a large diversity of ethnicities which do not have a sense of ownership in the place they call home. Using various theories from the ideas of Proxemics to the concept of Delight and Ornamentation, the overall goal of this project is to transform the identity Atherton Gardens, reintegrating it with its existing context and to convert it into a home that residents would claim ownership of.

//THE YARRA FOOD HUB STUDIO: CROWD FUNDING ARCHITECTURE YEAR 5, Semester 1, 2014 Featured in End of Semester exhibition poster
The studio was to explore the potentials of crowd funding as a new means of obtaining funds for architectural projects. This project sought to redevelop an underutilized space along the Flinders Street viaduct. The concept began with the idea of advancing the celebrated culinary culture of Melbourne towards a sustainabile future with the design of a food hub. The food hub will have a range of communal activities from gardening to communal cooking which fosters strong cultural exchange between users, and also linking it to the greater sustainable movement in Melbourne. This design seeks to reestablish Melbourne city’s connection with the Yarra through the presence of the food hub. With the wider goal of developing an urban community which is united in advancing the sustainable food culture of the city.

//GATEWAY TO RESERVOIR STUDIO: PUBLIC USE ZONE 1 YEAR 4, Semester 2, 2013 Featured in The Age - 17 June 2014 page 4 “Drab train stations get London look� The suburb of Resrvoir, Melbourne is in need of a redevelopment for its train station to revitalize the use of public transport and to reactivate it as a central node for the suburb. The design ideology was to explore the potential of bridging opposite elements and the resultant relationships it brings. From the strategic response, it is the meeting of intermodal public transport with public space. From the design concept, it is to bridge between the spatial poles of verticality and horizontality. The concept was to transcend the traditional notion of the train station as a gateway to the city, to also become a gateway to the future growth of Reservoir. By sinking the rail underground, the design develops new opportunities for growth of the suburb and a re-engagement of the community with public space. This train station also seeks to re-establish the interaction of people with public transport and develop a seamless transition between different modes of transport.

//THE WINDS OF CHANGE STUDIO: PARAMETRIC DESIGN YEAR 3, Semester 2, 2012
The brief for this project was to design a gateway project using the tools of Parametric design to fabricate a physical model. Wyndham City is seeking a design response for its Western Gateway Interchange with an installation that is both eye catching and exciting. The main idea for this project was to convey the concept of Transition between nature and the built environment. The main goal for this process was to replicate the full-scale on-site installation process through the use of digital fabrication. Parametric design enabled the precise control of design information to assist in the fabrication process of the large volume of joints. With layers of interlocking members, each member consists of a self supporting structure to form the overall physical model.

WORKSHOP CONSTRUCTION
//TRISOMETRIC
TIMBER FURNITURE WORKSHOP YEAR 5, Semester 2, 2014 The Timber Furniture Workshop seeks to provide a hands on experience to students in making a 1 to 1 scale piece of furniture. The brief was to design hallway piece which will be part of the transition space in the house. My furniture piece was to be a Entry Table and Shoe Rack piece for the entrance to my room. The design sought to explore an angular aesthetic through the use of timber frames which enabled me to minimize the wood material needed. Through the holistic process of design, purchasing, machining and the final assembly of furniture, we were able to explore furniture design in architectural space, work with the qualities of timber as a material and the working practice in the workshop. A focus of this workshop was to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of timber with its unique properties of grain direction, expansive qualities and colouration; and to use its material properties to our advantage.

APPLIED CONSTRUCTION 2
//JEWEL OF MELBOURNE APPLIED CONSTRUCTION 2 YEAR 4, Semester 1, 2013
This construction subject explored the documentation techniques for designing and constructing a high rise building for Melbourne’s inner CBD. The brief was to design a 30 story high rise building which incorporates a series of structural, spatial and facade systems The main structural system explored for this project was using slanted mega columns supported by a belt truss system. The facade system incorporates a fully glazed exterior with spandrel panels to maintain a uniform aesthetic. The facade is supported by a secondary mullion structure which sits on the slab edge. The overall design objective of each system was to enhance the elegant chamfered form of the design.

//OFFICE ON HOLMWOOD APPLIED CONSTRUCTION 1 YEAR 3, Semester 2, 2012
This construction subject covered the design and documentation for an office / exhibition building along Holmwood Place, Melbourne. This subject was to develop the means of conveying an architectural idea through an orthographic medium and to also look into prefabricated technology and how these systems would come together. This subject focused the overall elements of structural systems while highlighting the detailing of structural joints and weather proofing. The documentation process was carried out in Revit
