By 2050 it is projected that Melbourne’s

for the Parkville campus to address the urban challenges Melbourne faces and turn them into opportunities. The historical central precinct of the university’s campus was the focus area to be developed in phases up until 2050. The overarching concept is to create a campus with a new clear circulation network that links existing and new open spaces. Ultimately its about creating more inviting entries into the campus with a new interface to surrounding context. Density rules for new

The Urban Strategy developed through the location of existing and future transport nodes and the current gates for the campus. A key element of the strategy is introducing a diverse range of accomodation to have a greater utilisation of introduced program and encourage mixed use.

Tiwi Art & Cultural Centre University of Melbourne Master Studio D: Tiwi Islands Tutors: Gregory Burgess & Lindy Joulbert
My approach to the studio began with an interrogation into the importance of land for Tiwi culture, the transcendental connection they share with it, one which is spiritual, cultural and social. I wanted to establish a middle ground where modern and traditional cultures sit together. The conception was formed through a biomorphic approach to design, which was based on how Tiwi culture strongly relies on visuals to

transfer knowledge, in particular color and pattern. The hexagon shape was inspired by bee hives, the scales on a turtle shell and existing buildings at Pickataramoor like the administration building and the pavilion for the visitors accommodation. The cluster of hexagons facilitates a community and challenges the western notion of the one building or centre.

Bologna Wellness Centre University of Melbourne Master Studio C: How Virtual Becomes Real Tutors: Alberto Pugnale & Louis Gadd
In this studio we investigated gridshells, through precedent studies, physical model iterations and Grasshopper algorithms. The success/effectiveness of a gridshell can be looked at through the relationship between shape and performance, and the spatial qualities that are created. The aim of the studio was to form-find optimal structural shapes through both an “experimental” and “numerical” approach/ process. The experimental approach involved iteratively testing structural strength and form through scaled down models, with similar material properties. Classical gridshell form-finding methods such as catenaries, pneumatic and post-formed shells were studied and replicated at smaller scales to gain more insight into the advantages and
disadvantages between form-found and free-form shapes. The numerical process within the studio involved using Grasshopper (Rhino Plugin) and its accessory software, such as Kangaroo and Karamba to assist in giving “real-life” structural feedback and analysis on digital designs to increase optimisation. The Final and overall objective of the studio was to design and incorporate an optimised gridshell structure with a Wellness Centre design in Bologna, Italy for the Young Architects competition.
