Absract : Using periphery methods of practice the project engaged an urban farm, cooking school and an environmental agency to establish ground for the re-use of and vacant industrial interior. Applying architectural thinking to non-architectural problems, Food Forum proposes a reorganisation of existing food related actors and relocates them under the one roof. Here, instead of focusing on food production within the city the programme looks at how to generate knowledge production within the consumer.

Developed first was the partition language to be used to program interior spaces. The partitions employed a looseness in rules such as thickness, insulation and relationship to existing grid but held consistent proportions, material & construction details. This avoided a monotony of identical pieces and allowed spaces to be best tailored to each activity they supported. Sections of the roof slab were removed to create clerestory openings in key areas of knowledge production such as the library, green house and stairs to rooftop. Here the partition became structural to fill and the enclose the new void. Coherent with the strategy of knowledge production, the tectonics of proposed elements where expressed allowing them to be didactically read. Page 13

Given the task of defining our own site and brief within Copenhagen’s kommune of Nørrebro, this project worked with a church run charity shop called Kirk Genbrug on Blågardsgade. In choosing this site the opportunity was taken for colleague Benjamin Bill and I to develop our own situated practice working method. Through extensive time on site conducting interviews and participant observation we identified the shops’ financial contributions to a larger network that supports homeless members of the Nørrebro community. In uncovering this financial link, our brief became finding a way for our combined skills as a designer (Ben) and an Architect (Nick) to contribute to the stores efficiency and net profit. With zero budget and a very sensitive staff and organisational structure, the level of our intervention was to be as small as possible. While volunteering at the shop for a series of months we developed a precise three stage architectural and management strategy that targeted the cleanliness, profitability and working conditions within the shop.

This short design project looked at consolidating food related user groups operating within the De Gamles By precinct in Nørrebro. The strategy of the project was that establishing closer proximity would passively nurture co-operation and dissemination of knowledge between stakeholders and the community. This hypothesis was tested through interviews conducted on site and seen as a pre-thesis study. The design of the project borrowed architectonic details found in the area and formed a singular roof plain that held a broken plan. Due to the sites relationship with a 19th century building, the elevation was minimised through ground tectonics and sedum roof. The building proposed was shared between Guldbergs school, By Oasen and De Gamles By residents and is to facilitate already existing activities and community events. Page 23

Bun k h ou s e. Nicholas Thomas Lee workshop - 2017
Bunk House was developed during a workshop responding to Sweden’s Housing Ministry amending it’s planning and building act thus allowing a twenty five meters squared dwelling to be constructed without planning approval. Considering the limited square meterage the programme allowed for flexibility by using non specific programs elements and avoided the typical nomenclature of spaces. The design began with the relationship between two stacked floor plates and how conventional height can be tweaked to foster for spatial qualities of intimacy, practical tasks, rest or bathing. The compressed levels were also an action to adhere to the height restriction of four meters as defined by the new act. Page 31

Stenga d e Pav i l li on. KADK - Semester Two. Groupwork with Thit, Kristian, Mathjiis & Keita.
Our work at the Stengade pavilion was in partnership with Områdefornyelsen Nørrebro and under the municipalities’ Blågårdsvision strategy. We were tasked with developing and constructing a new kitchen within a FSB community pavilion. The financial allowance was 2500kr (500 AUD) and we received donated Kerto™ timber from a local merchant. Operating under these tight circumstance we developed a strategy of care through detail to enrich and soften what is a very rough construction material. This involved sanding sealing and polishing the raw material. Spatially we opened up the wall between the kitchen and common area and constructed a generous servery bench. The work bettered the physical interface between the kitchen/dinning areas and subsequently the usability of the pavilion for social functions. In post occupancy evaluations we found that the very small intervention has largely contributed to the residents use and appropriation of the pavilion. Page 33

Norfol k Pin e s Win e B ar. Private project with James Oberin. 2016
Norfolk Pines wine bar is located on the Mornington Peninsular, one of Australias heralded wine regions. What was vital to James and I here was creating a space where the viticultural, food and beverage product of the region could be shared and celebrated. It was also crucial that the programme both held intimacy but was able to facilitate the high season patronage associated with its beach frontage. The proposal therefore included three key spaces, a wine cellar, vine garden, and bar area. Within the vine garden large concrete basins held native flora and vines that screen patrons from the street and mitigate the heavy masonry of the existing building. The cellar joinery was detailed to champion each product while also providing space for ample stock. Tucked within the cellar area were nooks to provide more sheltered moments to dwell. Being the centrepiece, the bar was generously detailed so that multiple staff could run tastings and share knowledge while also allowing for good service flow during high season.

Given the opotunity while a student assistant at Six Degrees architects, this project entailed a small renovation of a herritage listed wharfside bar in Melbourne. The responsibilities involved were that of design, planning and herritage permits as well as contract administration of the buildling works. The designed element included bar shelving, seating areas and kitchen amenities.

Material Includes was a six week collaboration between Petersen Tegl, The Swiss Embassy of Denmark and the Spatial Design Perception & Detail MA Program at KADK. The project commenced with the hand production of bricks at the Petersen Tegl factory in southern Denmark. Here we learnt of how different manufacturing steps form the tactile details that are celebrated in the product. The weeks prior to the construction were spent designing and resolving logistics to ensure the piece was ready to be opened at the embassy’s annual ‘3 Days of Design’ event. The outcome of our labour was a subtle gathering point nestled within the waterfront garden of the Embassy. More precisely, it is a floor and fireplace that were the result of deeper study of the material and immaterial constructions that form spatial experience. The notion of inclusion was a pillar to research and development of the proposal. Interviews were conducted to uncover what it truly meant to have restricted mobility while living in the city. As a studio we learnt how level changes, visual contrasts, and floor materiality might close ones spatiality depending on an impairment. Then consequently how this might be re-opended via the way that we, as architects and designers, detail material.

Working cement and motar required time, effort and equiptment just to produce a material that’s taken for given in drawings.
For all the material we needed there was a whole process of getting it, ordered, delivered and in the position within the garden that we needed. It’s just possible to resolve these decisions by drawing, ,he the need to be on-site every day.
