It is difficult to pin-point what is it exactly that attracted me to architecture. In all its artistry the craft can be absolutely breathtaking, inspiring.. but on the other hand it may also be unapologetically pragmatic - architecture can be utilitarian, clinical, and cold in its most brutal form. It is a study of minute details as well as a celebration of grandeur, an embodiment of spirituality but also a test in construction limits. Architecture for me is a constant endeavour of balancing opposites.

Bachelor of Architecture | 2010-2012 | Tutor: Sarah Kahn This studio was a study of previous architectural masters and a reinterpretation of their work within the design of a boathouse. I was assigned to study Alvaro Siza and incorporate his style in my own design.

Many of Alvaro Siza’s design elements were incorporated in designing this boathouse; taking into account his design philosophy of architecture as “a response to a concrete problem, a situation in transformation in which I participate “ Hence the building is adapted into its site context and within the boundaries of the brief, just as Siza would have done. I started by playing with the

existing of contours of the site, to allow for a naturally-facilitated ramp that goes all the way throughout the building, (thus making my building a huge ramp in itself). The use of ramps is also a signature Siza element, as discovered from a previous analysis of the Anyang Pavilion and the Revigres Showroom. Therefore in my own architecture, I wanted to use this great experiential quality of ramps to create a strong feeling for my visitors. This can be seen in the entrance ramp that

eventually transforms into the roof of my building. When entering, visitors would have to go through a ramp which passes in-between two small waterfalls, thus giving a strong impact to visitors once they enter the inner courtyard space. Furthermore, Siza is all about giving an experience to people, and I loved this about his architecture. I have incorporated his use of courtyards into my design too, with the existence of a small courtyard in between the café and the restaurant.

There was also a strong asymmetry in most of Siza’s work, so I tried to achieve this with the proper positioning of components to create a balanced plan and form. As observed from my plan, the positioning of ramps, the café, and the restaurant all make up a balanced asymmetry. Additionally, I have also noticed that Siza tends to orientate his buildings a certain way to emphasise and focus on specific views. He tends to jut out certain parts of his buildings in order to achieve this effect. I liked this idea

towards cafe & bar

towards pier

and incorporated this element in the design of my café bar, which juts out slightly to allow for better views of the eastern side of the river. In addition, I noticed that most of Siza’s buildings are of solid, heavy geometry – so my building is also quite solid and monolithic. The use of smooth, white concrete is also an element which I’ve put into my design, following Siza’s style. Furthermore, his favourite use of diffused light also appears in my building, as seen with the lighting in my kitchen and office.

Bachelor of Architecture | 2010-2012 | Tutors: Loren Adams + Chris Gilbert Group Members: Jinn Jyh Leow, Elsa Marcella Christian, Mohd Izzat Mohamad Nazri Otherwise known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Wyndham Gatewayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, this studio was a competition to build a sculpture along Wyndham Highway, Victoria. It was a test of our Rhino - Grasshopper skills while exploring this new tool within architectural frameworks.

“Stains on a building are evidence of its capacity for resistance” – Kolarevic and Malkawi, 2005 “Reveal” is based on the concept of persistence over change. It is a reflection of Wyndham’s aspiration to break away from its stagnant past –constantly and gradually evolving towards a progressive new future. The sculpture is one which stands proud within the constant changes surrounding it, a form influenced by weather yet enhanced through time. From afar, the tower serves as a marker for the city, a sign, a gateway.

Up close, it is a sculpture of persistence. The sculpture’s veils will eventually corrode, revealing its true form. Layer after layer of materiality will reveal itself in its most natural manner, through interaction with weather and time. A prevailing theme of metamorphosis exists, symbolising the progression of a city which can only happen and be observed slowly through time. The sculpture will therefore mature together with the city, growing together with its ups and downs, thus making it an essential part of Wyndham – changing as much as the city changes. The stains and patina will then become the symbol of the city’s resistance, its gradual progress towards the future.

To explore the possible hue changes of the copper lining, experiments were undertaken using electroliysis. A copper tube was electrolysed to mimic accelerated weathering. A bright green patina deposite was then formed, an indication of what may come if the tower is standing 40+ years later. A chart of copper colour changes were also used as a reference for the illustration of the towerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colour changes through the years.

The tower also fulfils Wyndham’s aspiration of wanting something which inspires and enriches the municipality. It is exciting and eyecatching – a dynamic sculpture which constantly reinvents itself through time. This is an essential characteristic which the municipality wants - a sculpture with little maintenance and has “longevity in its appeal”. The tower and the city will go hand in hand towards progress– acting as a catalyst for further improvements in the city, inspiring the community at large, and encourages further reflection of the sculpture beyond first glance. There is an ongoing sense of meaning, a continuous interest in the sculpture as we observe its transformations through time.

Masters of Architecture | 2013 - 2014 | Tutors: Angelica Rojas + Eduardo Velasquez This project was an experiment in creating a small microhousing community. How can life be simpler by living smaller? What other opportunities can microhousing offer for our modern community?

The concept of microhousing provides a unique opportunity for us to live a simpler life. The fact that smalller living allows for limited space means we are left with only the essentials to bring along, leaving frivolous posessions behind. In a world increasingly engulfed in consumerism, this is a fresh start - a detoxing of mind, body and soul - reduced to its main essentials. It will give us time to focus on more important things in life such as family, health, and society. This project seeks to defy the growing trend of larger houses and higher mortgages, and focus more on the very basics of living. It aims for a realisation that we do not need much to be happy, and fulfillment comes from humbler things like community, socialisation, and personal well-being.

Masters of Architecture | 2013 - 2014 | Tutor: Peter Hogg This project is situated within a planned urban transit centre, where a mall, an underground metro, office buildings, and mixed use developments are proposed.

Wirraway central is a project which celebrates the dualities present in its site. On one hand it is humble structure which respects the local characteristic of the area. On the other, it is looking forward towards an exciting future interconnected with the central city. Wirraway central is a mall of which the focus is not consumerism, but rather community.

1. FINE + COURSE GRAIN

2. ‘CBD’ ZONE

Basic outline of the plan is derived from the fo ot p r i nt s o f M e l b o u r n e C B D a n d t h e g a r d e n c i t y . T h i s is meant to highlight the dualities of the site, where o n e p a r t i s zo n e d fo r a c a p i ta l c i t y , ‘ c o u r s e g ra i n ’ future while the other end is meant to be kept as heritage - similar to the ‘fine grain’ garden city.

The northern ‘CBD’ part of the site is meant to be more high density, rigid, and structured, inspired by the Hoddle Grid of Melbourne CBD. This site is also meant as a buffer from the sound and pollution of the city.

4. POROSITY

5. GREENERY

The volumes are further broken down to add value to t h e s t r e e t i nte r fa c e a n d e n h a n c e w a l k a b i l i t y throughout the site. Volumes near the garden city are further adjusted, inspired by the rooftop shapes of the garden city.

7 . B R E A K O U T S PAC E S T h e vol u m e s a r e a d j u s te d to a l l ow fo r sunlight access and break out spaces in-between them. Extra volumes are also added to smooth the boundary between ‘CBD zone’ and ‘garden city ’ zone.

Pockets of greenery are brought into the project, as an extension of the park (JL Murphy reserve) from the east. A green plaza is also created at the heart of the project so activities can flow through the central space.

3. ‘GARDEN CITY’ ZONE

The southern ‘garden city ’ part of the site is more f l u i d a n d fr e e - fo r m , s i m i l a r to t h e s p ra w l i n g s u b u r b s . They are centered around green areas just as most houses in the Port Phillip areas are.

6. HEIGHT DUALITY

Taking advantage of the height limits imposed on site, the northern volume of the project is further increased, creating a higher density. This further enhances the ‘CBD’ characteristic of the area.

Masters of Architecture | 2013 - 2014 | Tutor: Phillip Goad + Amanda Achmadi Preston Market is a much-loved multicultural institution that has thrived for over 40 years as the fresh food centre of Darebin. This colourful, vibrant palimpsest of cultures, food, and exchange is harmoniously contained under a surprisingly homogenous, repetitive form that is the marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historic space frame structure. Unfortunately, this lively energy is concentrated only within the strict confines of the market, where integration with the wider urban context is limited. This results in a fragmented place where urban elements are unable to feed off one another as successfully as they could have. In which case,Preston Market only works on the inside but not on the outside. This project seeks to re-consolidate the urban environment, through the use of the market typology as an urban connector. The vibrancy of the market should be shared, it should not only be working internally butalso externally. It should give life to the area and necessitate, not just contain the flow of pedestrian paths throughout the urban fabric.
