01 MUSEUM

2006 UNIVERSITY

The project brief was designed to remove any preconceptions a new student might have about architecture; the creation of atmosphere and emotion through built elements was of high importance. The process was demarcated into three distinct and isolated stages. Firstly was the development of a linear experience of rooms known as the hall of harmony, which was followed by the creation of a chamber of echoes; an atrium-like space of grand scale. The final stage of the process was to synthesise these two spaces into a singular building, on a site that was not revealed until late in the design process; a vacant building in the city was to be appropriated to house the museum. Through the combination of the hall of harmony and the chamber of echoes, the final product is considered a whole; the museum became a total assemblage of reciprocated spaces. The hall of harmony is dispersed into multiple smaller rooms and coils around the chamber of echoes, occasionally piercing into the atrium at appropriate moments, experiencing at once the large atrium that is the chamber of echoes and the small scale rooms that make up the hall of harmony. The museum of music is an investigation into the possibilities of manipulating circulation throughout a building; in this case, exploiting circulation to heighten the drama of transition between rooms of different aural and visual qualities. As a formative project in my education, this project continues to provoke new thoughts about movement and the creation of atmosphere.

02 PARK PAVILION

2007 UNIVERSITY

The brief stipulated an assemblage of multiple detached structures; a cafe, a stage, multiple small shelters, and two ferneries on a site in a public botanic garden. The response is intensely site specific. Trees on the site are not regarded as peripheral landscape elements, but as existing, successful architecture. The intention of any architectural intervention through this project is to position the programs outlined in the brief in a manner that regards building and natural site elements as having equally valid claims to being considered architecture. When one is required to build in a condition where it might considered better to build elsewhere, it is necessary to learn from the site; the design process becomes an attempt to maintain an equilibrium between natural elements and the new program. The project is an attempt to establish the altered site as a fluid whole without hierarchy.

03 INTERVENTION

2008 UNIVERSITY

The approach here is intended to explore the potential jig-like qualities of architecture. A jig is a supplementary tool used for producing an artefact or material with specific qualities; if only the jig is extracted, then these qualities are hard to understand, but without it, the final product isn't possible, however the jig is often a simple and efficient object that isn't spectacular in itself. In architectural terms, this project is an attempt to intervene into the built and natural environment in the most minimal way possible, whilst at the same time adding to the to the context in a positive way. Minimal interventions provoke a functional arrangement of programs that are affected by extant adjacent programs. The site, presently an infrequently used remnant of Expo '88, becomes the hyper-rational convergence of two higher education campuses, an intermittently used civic space, and a junction connecting two nearby public transport stops of different modes. Food stalls, a student-run gallery and a new information building for the various public-transport infrastructures around the site are proposed.

08 COMPETITION ENTRY

2010 PERSONAL

This small project, completed during a short and intense studio session, is a submission to the JACS residential ideas competition, held in 2010. The thematic framework of the competition suggested that the future family home will become â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;primitiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and that the future house will invariably be in a condensed urban environment; a deliberately obscure brief. Within these prescribed topical constraints, the project proposes that a new type of family home can emerge in a modern urban environment, where the program of the house can be likened to interactions that are seen in urban public spaces.

10 AIRPORT TRAIN STATION

2011 UNIVERSITY

Airports are organisms in a permanent state of expansion. Their persistent growth - to varying extents - is manifest at most major airports throughout the world. Airports rarely reduce in size. At any one stage in their life, airports are forced to speculate on their optimal size through extrapolation and analysis of current data and trends. A building of massed programs is proposed. Like the airport itself, a product of access roads, connections to the city centre, large networks of transitory lanes, transport infrastructures that serve terminals and offices that serve cargo distribution centres, the proposed building is the result of compounding multiple flows of people into a building. Five band of programmatic bands are placed parallel to one another, each isolated in terms of their function. In order to generate the desired comingling of functions, the bands are then manipulated to through strategically placed walkways to create overlapping conditions, where two or more different programs occupy the same area. The thesis of the project is that a single effort can respond to multiple contextual pressures; conflicting - or complimentary - flows of people, as well as the influence of future requirements and current needs.
