INTRODUCTION

M.ARCH Thesis: Sensibility
The most beautiful skyline will always be the most familiar. It is the one we have seen the sun set behind too many times. From a balcony, from the table at a fancy restaurant, through the window of a descending airplane, the back of an impatient postcard, the background of that dramatic end scene, the screensaver of a laptop at lunch break or from behind a phone’s camera. It is a city’s buildings forming a silhouette - a reassuring sentence we could read from a distance, “You are here.” A landmark that speaks to everyone: locals, immigrants, tourists and refugees. But how can a landmark welcome us in so many languages? How can it become familiar in a fast-paced world? Relatable without being specific? Monumental without being imposing?

Why Landmarks The Importance of the Image
Architecture as an endeavour behind a form or an image is not bad in itself. It’s about what ideas that image depicts and how well it communicates them. Unlike words, an image transcends barriers: it is the first thing a human senses and understands without the need for a mediating translation. When asked about a city, the first image that comes to a person’s mind is its landmark. It is the name of a city in image form. Landmark (n.) land + mark “an object that marks the boundary of land” or “a structure of unusual historical and usually aesthetic interest” (Meriam-Webster). But what does a landmark mean for us today? In a world more connected and cities more diverse than ever before? Landmarks are no longer markers of direction and boundary; they have become the destination. They are grounded by old stories which make them unforgettable. But in the absence of a fascinating ancient story, what do they have to say? They make stories – stories of being human, stories of belonging and stories on Instagram. A building becomes the platform; the people its landmark. Malak Noureddine El Moussaoui

Why Landmarks What makes a landmark?
A landmark is a spectacle. In The Society of the Spectacle (1967), Guy Debord describes it as “one part of the world represents itself before the world and is superior to it”. A spectacle stands at a loss of unity with the world; it unites spectators but maintains their isolation. Susan Stewart (1993) describes this as in parades, where one can only view a part of it from a distance. Beginning and end are unknown. A landmark is a monument. It commemorates a certain event, a person(s) or a change in a place, as if something timeless – living yet frozen in time. A landmark is a marker. It marks the boundary of an area or a reference for direction. This happens organically from the city’s growth and the movement of its dwellers. A landmark is huge. However, scale is relative. Up close, the gigantic can only be seen through movement and time (Stewart, 1993). A landmark is familiar. Familiarity, if not in person, can be achieved through repetition and reproduction of an image. As Warhol’s work depicted, repetition and reproduction initiate the aura of the real. It is this indirect repetitive encounter with Van Gogh’s work, for example, that makes it all the more monumental; When we have not seen the originals but experienced their images or photographs – a more attractive, uncontaminated version.

1979 Melbourne Landmark Competition 2300 Entries, No Winner Following the failure of the Princes Gate Towers, and interestingly after Sydney’s Opera House becoming a famous landmark, Melbourne was decided to have a new landmark. This landmark would sit in the place of the two towers which would be demolished. The 1979 Melbourne Landmark Competition received an overwhelming 2300 entries from 24 different countries, none of which won. Instead, 48 were short-listed, the award divided between them. The competition entries are all archived at the Public Record Office Victoria. Going through the archives many themes were recurring: futurism, classical monuments, bridges, towers, kangaroos and boomerangs. But one entry stood out: Entry no. 1991.

1979 Melbourne Landmark Competition Entry No.1991 Having not received a reply about his competition entry, Milanist architect Mario Galvagni posted more sketches and photographs of his model alongside a persisting note to hear back. He was not contacted, unfortunately, and his work possibly unseen. Perhaps not until now. Influenced by his study in painting and physics before architecture, Galvagni’s approach to architecture followed the path of visual arts and the physical laws of nature (Imperiale, 2014). As with his other projects, the proposal conveys an exploration of artisanal craft at the scale of a building – “a force under tension”, as he described it. The architecture he proposed does not differentiate between skin and skeleton, but where structure and skin are one: a shell structure (a stuttura a guscio). His interest in the plastic possibilities of concrete is influenced by the work of Oscar Niemeyer, Le Corbusier, Kenzo Tange, Félix Candela and Riccardo Morandi (Imperiale, 2014). However, his approach was also related to the geologic formations of a site, linking the building and the site in an organic process.

1979 Melbourne Landmark Competition Entry No.1991
Galvagni’s approach resulted in his proposal being sculptural and growing from the landscape. There is a kind of intricate softness to it that imitates nature’s beauty. The components seem light and moving, such that at every angle, light filters through in new patterns. “…a poetry of the image that continually provokes images”, as he puts it, “…an immense part of nature, without reason and necessity”. His proposed landmark is indeed monumental and gigantic, standing 140 meters tall. Yet, it does not feel heavy or imposing. It is poetic and storytelling yet does so without historical reference. It is like a friendly giant.
In his own words about this project, Galvagni raised the following sentiments: Poetry
“A poetry of the image that continually provokes images. Poetry of the Landmark.”
Nature
“An immense part of nature, without reason and necessity.”
Sign
“Its image as a spiritual sign all over the city.”
Complexity
“A complex form, as only a complex historical moment of evolution can be.”
Movement
“Expression of dynamic, ancestral forms.”
Hope
“Expression of hope.”

The Site Main Characters Studying the natural topography, climate and urban fabric of the site, 4 interesting characters arise: The buildings. The site is situated opposite the busy Flinders Street Station and next to St Paul’s Cathedral and Federation Square. The people. Melbourne has a great cultural diversity, with more than a quarter of its residents born overseas and over 200 languages spoken. A landmark would not only be for tourists but also locals, immigrants and refugees. The river. The site sits North to a bend in the Yarra river. The large water body creates movement and flow, an interesting play with the changing seasons and activities like rowing. The railway. Building a railway right next to the river has separated the city from the river. And due to the natural bend in the river, a large empty green space is left isolated.
From here, important themes to explore will include: Territoriality and appropriation Control and circulation Blurring boundaries with the river Topographical opportunities Activities and triangulation

The The Site Site Objectives Way forward Studying the site closely (something Galvagni might have not had the opportunity to do), a lot of possibilities arise in response to the site, which go hand-in-hand with Galvagni’s architectural ethos. The people, the site’s proximity to the river and the nature of the surrounding structures are important to understand if a structure is to organically grow out of them. His ideas of focusing on the people and the poetics of a space growing from the site can be emphasized and pushed further.
Possible themes to explore: Patterns in Nature Photography: “Needing to have reality confirmed and experience enhanced by photographs is an aesthetic consumerism to which everyone is now addicted.” (Susan Sontag, 1977)

The Ground Concept and Influence
First inspired by the intricate work of Italian architect Mario Galvagni and the 70’s architectural movement towards representing nature’s patterns in the built form, this landmark stands as a metaphor of Melbourne’s disappearing flora reclaiming its presence. How does a landmark achieve presence without being imposing? Does a flower do so? The answer is in our senses. They must be retaught and heightened. They must be disassembled and reassembled again. This is what this landmark represents. The ability to sense. The largest element, the facade, ironically represents the smallest of details in a flower: its veins. Presence is not only achieved by borrowing the physical aspect of Victorian flora, but also their behaviours: adapting and growing. Inspired by Deleuze’s Baroque House of Allegory, the 5 senses are represented in 5 separate buildings. The facade grows from each of them, like the growth of a plant through the cracks, to unite finally into a tower. Only there are the senses united and heightened, while observing Melbourne from above. Malak Noureddine El Moussaoui

Facade structure The facade is 3D-printed from water-based biocomposites: chitosan, cellulose, pectin, and water. It is inspired by the work of Aguahoja by MIT Media Lab; the structure is then a huge celebration of sustainable technologies and the possibilities in construction.

Facade structure The organic pattern of the facade allows for optimization such that the veins are condensed where sunlight is not desirable and sparse in areas with plantation for sun access. Its natural composites invite moss and other flora to grow onto the structure itself, giving nature a chance to literally reclaim the land while also serving the building’s function.

THE ORCHID Observation Tower Re-uniting of the 5 Senses
Modeled from the smallest detailing of a petal’s veins, the tower emerges from each of the 5 separate buildings to form one accessible chamber at the top. There one can observe Melbourne through a more enlightened perception, one that combines all 5 senses into one reality - seeing Melbourne fully, with more sensibility.
