I have graduated from my bachelor degree (major in architecture) and am currently studying my final semester of my master of architecture degree in the University of Melbourne. Throughout my studies I have always look for opportunity to improve my skillset and prepare myself for this field. After 4 years of university studies, I have trained myself to be a quick learner, and have the ability to adapt to new environments with high work ethics. Although I have very limited working experience in the field, I am dedicated in continuing to get better at what I am doing. I believe having experience in the working field will have a valuable impact on myself, and therefore I am applying for student architects during my final stages of my university study.

frankston market-sports complex studio 23, year 5, semester 1 tutor: Tim Clarke and Gunes Erok Frankston is a satellite city in Melbourne. With the ongoing frankston train station design competition, Frankston is soon to become a major city that becomes a lot of residents' home. This site of the studio is located at the triangular block of land next to the frankston train station. The aim is to design a market that simutaneously have other programmes to collaborate with, and ultimately provide a design proposal that increase the activity level of frankston, and have positive social impact to the city of frankston. After receiving this design brief, the idea is to combine sports as a secondary programme that can seamlessly work with markets, and design a building for the public that operates at all times. Sports and Food are two international languages that brings people together. Through implementing these two elements, the newly designed market-sports complex can increase the activity level of frankston, and provide an icon for the city. The building is single-story. Multiple entrances are palced around the building to provide multi-access for users coming from all angles. Vertical-bifolding walls are also implemented to allow spaces to have flexibility to merge and held major community events. Mega stairs are designed to function as the stands for different recreational events, temporary seats for office workers to have lunch, as well as forming the structure of individual market stores.
vegetation carparks commercial
The site is divided into 3 buildings. Each building is designed with primary programmes and flexibility to merge together.
Mega stairs are placed for each building. These stairs are slightly shifted from one another, allowing people to meander through the building and while having sight of direction.
The mega stairs together forms market lanes, which sells food for users when they finish exercising.
Vegetation and outdoor seats are also implemented on site, to provide shading and seating options for users to experience.
The current site is surrounded by carparks due to a high level of car use in Frankston. The lack of vegetation on site is also another major issue that causes disinterests for people to stay or walk through. Large shopping centres are located at the North-West of the site, which are also rare recreational buildings that Frankston has. 3 recreation

TIME OF ACTIVITY
The idea of combining food and sports as the main programme for the building activates the building to attract people to visit. Sports and Food does not have major time clashes and therefore they can complement each other, and allows the building to be active at all times.

Locus studio 12, year 4, semester 1 tutor: Robyn Pollock Carlton is a suburb with a wide mixture of cultures. With the University of Melbourne and Lygon Street being relative close to Carlton, the suburb is increasing its popularity. However since the housing redevelopment project has commenced in 2005, refugees are being inserted into the suburb and social differences are causing separation and disconnection within the suburb. At the corner of Palmerston Street and Rathdowne Street, the Carlton Primary School is built for the younger generation in Carlton to have education. However due to the social disconnection within the suburb, this school in particular is experiencing a major drop in enrolment. The studio aim to target this issue, through architecture, to propose an early learning centre placed alongside the existing primary school, and attempt to rebuild the image of the current school. The locus is a two-stories building. With the preparatory school located on the upper floor and kinder year level on the ground floor. A wide range of spaces with different height levels provide flexibilities for different learning activities to be held. Solar panels, natural ventilation, and limecrete were also considered and implemented to the building for environmental sustainable design purposes.

the upheaval hotel studio 19, year 4, semester 2 tutor: Tina Atic Studio fire is a futuristic project which requires students to design a multi-use building that are for both offices and motel functions in 2045. The offices are available for short-term rentals, but they are mainly designed for 3 major users: 1. Personal Architectural Office 2. National Association of Visual Art 3. Yoga Association of Australia
The upheaval hotel challenges the idea of futuristic architecture, and bring back the idea of design for people. In the year of 2045, the theme of West Melbourne development is towards modernity and commercial based, with a high number of residential buildings planned to be built. With the surroundings being busy, energetic and chaotic, the hotel design emphasise the concept of contrast, providing an environment that is quiet, calm and relaxing for people to have an opportunity to run away from the chaotic world and reflect upon themselves. A relatively dim interior is proposed as an repsentation of the contrast between the energetic surroundings and the calmness of the design.A hint of brightness is used to highlight the circulation of the building, which provides an interconnected system that promotes walking rather than the use of elevators.

the fishway project studio air, year 3, semester 1 tutor: Sonya Parton Studio air is a parametric design studio that requires students to design an installation along the upstream of yarra river and merri creek through grasshopper. The installation is aimed to create positive environmental impact that can improve the current state of the site. The site is self-decided based on the correlation with the type of installation and the issue aimed to target on site. After series of iterations and prototyping, students are required to propose a design based on a parametric design method of interest. Since the installment of DIghts Fall, it has become a major obstruction for waterlives in merri creek to maintain their lifecycle. Fishes were unable to swim upstream for reproduction before swimming back to port phillip bay. The fishway projects targets this particular environmental issue and proposed an alternative to allow Dights Fall to exist while protecting waterlife and provide a pathway for them to swim to the upstream of the river. The fishway project utilise sectioning as the main parametric design method to form the structure while also providing seasonal adjustments to suit different users.

studley park boathouse studio water, year 2, semester 2 tutor: Ming Wu Studio water is a design studio that requires student to study an assigned architect in the modern movement, and re-design the studley park boathouse using similar methods and design principles of that architect.
The assigned architect for this project is Richard Meier, a member of New Yorks Five during the modern movement in the US. Through the use of different geometries, Meier has produce unique building forms through interlocking geometries. Various voids are implemented to form double height spaces. Being heavily influenced by Le Corbusier, Meier also uses white concrete and glass as the main materials in his design works.
The re-designed studley park boathouse focus the design pattern of Richard Meier and the programme of the building. Through series of site references, the form of the building is created as a representation of the surroundings of the site. White concrete and transparent glass were used as the building materials, and multiple double height spaces were also designed for different programmes.
In the studies of Richard Meier, three buildings listed below were focused in specific to three major design aspects for this project to develop from: 1.Giovannitti House (1979-1983) 2.High Museum of Art (1980-1983) 3.The Atheneum (1975-1979) In these three building designs, Meier has used different references from the site, and the use of grid to shape the building form.
The building is divided to a 3x3x3 grid
The building blocks are subtracted based on programme
The blocks are then rotated according to the orientation of the original boathouse and the CBD
Two set of building blocks are merged together through referring to the shape of the river
The ground tiles are placed as a representation of the grid use in the design process
The elongated ramp is attached to the building providing a circulation option for people to go directly to the cafe on 2/F

With Le Corbusier's Maison Domino and Junya Ishigami's KAIT Workshop being our core case studies, the idea of the use of the grid in architecture has become our common interest. Various projects were studied for us to investigate the concept of the grid being a fundemental element in architecture. The Architectural Assembly is a proposed display of the evolution of the grid throughout the years, and the inter-relationship between each of the stages within the evolution.

thinnest point of the island. Spanning 208 meters, the pier visually splits the island in two, creating a physical impact across the island much like physical intervention created on a grid in order to create contextual richness. By applying analogue reproduction as well as a specific and rigorous set of logic to this process, a consistent and pragmatic form developed in order to convey the parameters of the pier and the content it holds. The archive space within the pier also considers the concept of the architectural assembly relative to the grid as well as what it means to be a template. With the grid as a basis and these processes of analogue reproduction applied, the space is the combination multiple envelopes within a three dimensional grid. The envelopes themselves form differing programs for depending on their positioning relative to the archive spaces in the pier.

Spanning 208 meters, the pier visually splits the island in two, creating a physical impact across the island much like physical intervention created on a grid in order to create contextual richness. By applying analogue reproduction as well as a specific and rigorous set of logic to this process, a consistent and pragmatic form developed in order to convey the parameters of the peir and the content it holds. The archive space within the pier also considers the concept of the architectural assembly relative to the grid as well as what it means to be a template. With the grid as a basis and these processes of analogue reproduction applied, the space is the combination multiple envelopes within a three dimensional grid. The envelopes themselves form differing programs for depending on their positioning relative to the archive space in the pier.

As an archive relative to the concept of arrival and departure, archive activity is focused mainly on the arrival side of the pier as a means of summarising the history of the grid as well as being a representation of archives of the island. Ribbons of circulation split and merge across the pier to offer a multitude of experiences depending on the path taken, with some paths being more straightforward than others in some respects. One can choose to stay solely within the pier or deviate towards the rest of the island. Where the arrival and departure points are within the pier, the ribbon slabs merge together to create a unified starting and finishing point. The ribbon slabs split and merge all across the pier not only to create a multitude of experiences but also to integrate with the east-west axis that has been implied by the isthmus of the island. Wide open spaces formed by merges offer momentary breaks of circulation in the pier.

300 exhibition street applied construction, year 4, semester 1 tutor: Yohan Abhayaratne, collaboration with Sejal Bhikha and Shirley Kwan
This project is a construction focused study. Students are required to design a construction system for a high-rise commercial tower located on 300 Exhibition Street, Melbourne. This collaborative subject allows students to produce a complete set of technical drawings and models in relation to the project and learn about different construction system options for a highrise tower. The designed tower is a square-based building, with a square lift core that goes through the entire building. As the building rises, the building is sliced in accordance to the direction of wind rose, to minimise the unwanted wind load that the building have to encounter. Mega structure with cross-bracing is designed to also strengthen the building's ability to endure lateral load.
