Project brief for Business as Usual Model Collaboration & Role Throughout Melbourne there are various examples of multiuse structures that attempt to more efficiently provide the connection between residential, retail and commercial programs. Yet within these structures we see design strategies that are detrimental to its surrounding context. The Central Melbourne design guide provided a resource to assist urban designers in the preparation of clear and consistent design advice. Using this guide alongside thorough research, we were able to pinpoint specific areas of a structure that created problematic and ineffective spaces. For this report we chose three structures of varying scale: The Hive in Richmond, the Vogue Plaza in South Yarra and QV in the Melbourne CBD. Invovled in conveying the analysis & research documentatio by ensuring clarity in presentation by formulating innovative ways of illustration. Attended discussions from various urban design critics & planners,.Ensured the project’s demands on meeting deadlines, by coordinating and communicating the developments across the team members to maintain high efficiency across the team. Developed and refined weekly Presentations leading up to final outcomes of findings and analysis, which resulted in the vital success of the project

Analysis Through our analysis it was easy to see that a lack of permeability was often caused by a general lack of pedestrian access. More access points allow for better pedestrian connects and a more engaged public realm. The Central Melbourne Design Guide suggests the creation of arcades to promote pedestrian engagement and permeability. QV shows us a great example of high quality pedestrian connections that are open to the sky, wheelchair accessible and flanked by active frontages with suffincient space for both movement and seating.

m
In The Hive and Vogue Plaza, residential access is placed at the buildings edges, this causes a separation from the retail and residential areas Poor integration of residential lobby space causes inactive areas and a disengaged public realm around it. Whereas residential access in QV is placed within pedestrian connections rather than at the street interface. This keeps areas that would otherwise be separated from public, well integrated and maximises the public engagement.

FINDINGS Scale was often a consideration of the problems present in each design. QV has the largest footprint and arguably the most area to be able to place one of their major retail stores at ground level and have relatively small impact on the public realm. Though it seems that where QV provided a well thought out solution to the large major retail stores, Vogue Plaza and The Hive do not attempt to deal with the consequences of placing these areas at ground floor. Our findings suggest that with little chance for permeability, major retail and its requirement for large back of house space forces the public realm around these areas and creates inactive frontages that provide no engagement with pedestrians

Morwell open cut
04 Dirty Coal Date Type Topic Supervisor
2019 Level 09 Hazelwood power plant //Re-use Andre Bonnice & Jean marie spencer
This project revolves around the idea of when the hole/quarry is filled with water in the next 20 years and attempts to use the kilometer long infrastructure that lies abandoned on the site . It does not revolve around any of the notional ideas of , upliftment or revitalisation of this decimated landscape but simply tries to exemplify the scale of effect of coal mining and man’s effect on nature. Through my tasks in the studio I was able to explore the idea of tension between real and fake , with the thought of what becomes of these artificial decimated landscapes when we run out of the resources or in the case when it is decommissioned. Do we view these spaces as spectacle by themselves? With the idea of an (natural) island as an impossible dream floating in the midst of the hole aimlessly, perhaps looking at it as the only pristine piece of land that remains untouched in the middle of a fake/ man made landscape. A(fake) jetty stretched along the midst of the pit. Where one walks through a tunnel like jetty as if approaching the island, but to reach the center of the quarry and only to see that the floating landscape is unattainable from here. The experiential journey along the stretch to reach the destination emulates the intensity of the conveyor stretch, with different levels and high density coverage of framework leading to the less dense end where one can experience the vastness of the landscape around. and experience how insignificant it would be in attempting to bring it back as an asset for community use.

Morwell opencut - Task 2 - Filling the quarry with suspended coal display and viewing it as a spectacle - showing the tension between the real and fake
Morwell open cut
Morwell is a standing symbol of what industries like power generation, the mines could do to a significant chunk of population. While these structures provide energy and resources to the rest of the continent perhaps, they only bring in jobs, albeit temporarily and a large baggage of doom and gloom to the civic society in which they are set in. The experience center is an attempt to capture the strength of all these industries. It is intended to serve the visitor. .a taste of what it feels like to be a morwells resident. The floating mammoth chunks of coal so delicately suspended by the grid just hang around there as if waiting to fall on one's head. A feeling of dread oppression as people walk below it . A giant mass so productive to an entire country yet precariously close to causing destruction to a human being next to it. As the visitor slowly descends, so do the chunks of coal with him/her And finally to the back of the quarry they meet each other, where the enormity of the coal and the working conditions associated with the people from morwells dawn's upon the visitor. The shards are a throwback to the industrial setup where these cold pointed structures seemingly arise out of the grid.. and emit puffs of vapour of clouds where when you observe the entire structure from a distance It's nothing more than a reflection of the cloud coming out the chimney hanging above the entire center waiting to envelop you in.

2019 Architecture Major Project Social housing Anna Janchovic
This project interrogates Social Housing in Victoria and Australia; and centers on the Carlton Housing Estate as a case-study for the future development of Public Housing need. Under intensified economic pressures to turn-over this land for a profit, there is a real risk of displacing residents from their homes and communities. This is further challenged by the current policy for ‘housing renewal’, that is to demolish and rebuild. My project re-defines this public housing procurement strategy under new conditions; never demolishing, never removing and only adding, transforming and re-using the existing building stock. Instead of disposing of the architecture, its capital value and embodied energy, this project acknowledges and advocates for the inherent social, architectural and material value, for the long-term. This is facilitated by the adaptation and addition of private residential spaces and the addition of new spaces for community programs and social services, in turn densifying spatial relationships with a multitude of functions.
Major Project / / Academic
Condensed grounds
Major Project / / Academic The strategy employed, redefines circulation to be generous and programmable to foster smaller communities within the existing-by reconfiguring them vertically and horizontally from the tower typology.
Process 01: Re-defining circulation to be generous and programmable
Adapting the tower and adding to the living spaces within the dwellings by extending a double layered winter gardens on rows that have been compromised due to other interventions.
Process 02: Adapting the existing tower and the dwellings
Responding to the detachment of the existing in the urban fabric has been mediated by stitching the boundary to the urban fabric whilst adding density with the intention of leaving ground open spaces.
Process 03: Urban Inclusion
Condensed grounds
Atop the towers, levels of new dwellings are added, whilst a secondary façade to the levels below provides a row of winter-gardens annexed to the existing living spaces, offering much needed natural light and ventilation and outlook. With a view to the ‘Utopic’ social housing models that were once seen to have advanced the living conditions of those most in need; this architecture augments and reconfigures the common spaces and shared circulation to be a generous and programmable framework, fostering small community groups through a ‘breaking’ apart of the tower and mass housing typology. This project seeks to present people and community at the fore of Public Housing need.

2018 Level 07 Tower//Urban intent Ian Nazerath
The idea behind the project is simulated by my research which focused on the socio economic and cultural development in the city with the overarching idea of city functioning as arena for these changes and comparisons of city planning with their respective iconic structures amidst the city taking centre stage. The radial city planning of Paris and New Delhi are cited as examples, where the positioning of the Arc de Triomphe and India gate with streets and boulevards running away from it in all directions serve as arenas for congregations/demonstrations/agitation on matters of national significance. Architectural tools that mediated into reshaping both the cities of New Delhi and Rome – Connaught place and the colosseum respectively, were looked at physically and iconographically. Parallely, a comparative analysis was brought forward which depicts the emulation of theatrical planning as seen in the colosseum and the urban form of Lutyen’s retail precinct at Connaught place in New Delhi, (The park as the center stage, with the streets as stands running towards or in some cases away from all the drama in the middle). The key derivative from the analysis above involved breaking down the colosseum’s physical form and the corresponding spatial hierarchy and implementing them as a model for various retail precincts where authentic human and cultural activity takes place.how these precedents stated above, are emulated as architectural devices in the tower in the form of various multifunctional spaces-public squares or a temporary market place for instance. Large hollow voids are introduced to amplify the nature of these large scaled spaces.

“Cities function as arenas of spectacle, performativity in the realm for spectatorship, a key catalyst affecting social change’’.
City as an Arena
This project contain 4 arenas /elements that curate the internal volume of the building. The ground floor is the main theater, which in reality also doubles up as a dramatized entrance. The hollow spatial quality of this space and with the dramatic center stage, which uses the city as a backdrop amplify the urban experience along the base of the building and facilitate large gathering and relieve the ‘sidewalk congestion’ by allowing the passer-by to weave in and out of the structure at will. The idea of instant theater and various forms of it in this tower fom the void formed between every wall in the street turn the stage outside into illusionistic inside, into public piazzas of the city in various levels in which the theatres are located The theater where the spectators and the drama keeps changing thus becoming a city where the spectacle happens,“All the world is a stage and we are but players” The public piazza of the city which is a convergence/linkage of all paths connecting from diverse activity which also comprehends to concentration and contact, where people are seen here. Vertical circulation to create congestion at the linkage points by connecting all the programmatic blocks in one sage speculating this could create an alteration to classical public spaces. The use of arches is formulated as voids and the variations of them are used to frame the spectacle, drawing the pedestrian life into the physical form of the building in a related fashion in various precincts like the shopping arcade, the office buildings, library buildings drawing.In this precinct the City shopping operates as a dramatic stage like realm representing mediations of urban experience and the cultural authenticity of experiencing the city through consumerism.

The Process
City as an Arena
Floor plan -Theater 01 : The hollow spatial quality of this space and with the dramatic stage, which uses the city as a backdrop amplifies the urban experience along the base of the building, facilitating large gathering and relieve the ‘sidewalk congestion’ by allowing the passer-by to weave in and out of the structure at will.
Floor plan -Theater 02 : The public piazza of the building.Connecting all the programmatic blocks in one sage speculating this could create an alteration to classical public piazza.
Floor plan -Theater 03 : Co-existance of different functions of typologies coming together, the idea of civic library , city shopping and office spaces around it as a viable idea, where it allows static desk jobs to have a spectacle while the ordeal goes on.
Floor Plan Theater 04 : The look out theater, where the melbourne remains the backdrop of the stage , as a spectacle initself.

2018 Level 08 Education//Community intent Patrick Macasaet
The suspended grounds transform the relation of a typical learning space/environment and suggest unusual possibilities in learning, in which disciplines can merge and cross fertilize. In some levels, the learning streets are suspended and in a few, buried below the urban learning ground. Few of these streets act as ground floors and some as rooftops suggesting the piano nobile can be found on any level. The learning streets function as vertical passageways and bridges, multi story crossings as a socio spatial assemblage in the learning environment The 3 main derivative from all the process experiments focuses on community involvement and civic spaces-on the ground and lower ground by amplifying the ground condition/artificial landform through the experiment. Also allowing the building fragments to sit on more human scale .. and Curate an immediate connection with the surrounding site and the URBAN learning GROUND.

2020 Competetion(WARMING) Global climate crisis Roxannane esagunde, Emily Aqua
The Australian Defence Force (ADF) acknowledges the climate crisis as the biggest threat to our national security.Therefore, our tactical response needs to elicit the same abundance of funding, man-power and urgency of response as a World War. As climate risks are amplifying, the Asia-Pacific is one of the most vulnerable to natural disasters. In 2019 alone, the region accounted for nearly half of the world’s natural disasters. Australia itself is already exposed to a broad range of the hazards that climate change is intensifying. Twenty per cent of our national GDP and 3.9 million of our people are in areas with high to extreme risk of tropical cyclones, and about 11% of GDP and 2.2 million people are in places with high and extreme risk of bushfire. Thus, in 2020 the Climate Crisis Unit (CCU) was founded as a special operations task force that has been operating as a branch of the ADF, alongside the Army, Navy and Airforce.

Climate Crisis Unit
The CCU’s role is to Defend Australia and its national interests through the following: 1. Undertake/engage in Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief missions in the Asis-Pacific region While the requirement for Australia to assist its neighbours exists on a humanitarian and ethical basis, the strategic effects these operations achieve will also be important in shaping a regional environment that has a reduced risk of warfare. Due to an increasing scarcity of resources - estimations say that there could be up to 150200 million people displaced as climate refugees. 2. Regularly participate in preventative operations to reduce the frequency and severity of responsive action Overseeing cultural land management to mitigate and control bush fires, cultural burning is one of many indigenous management and ‘caring for country’s’ tools that will be integrated into the CCU’s preventative measures and deeper understanding of country/land. 2. Oversee, develop and deploy renewable/sustainable technologies to actively combat global warming As the Pacific Region is facing the greatest impacts of climate change from rising sea levels, warming oceans, drought, coral ecosystem destruction, ocean acidification, and extreme weather, the CCU must engage in deploying carbon capture technologies to carrying out geoengineering operations in optimal locations within the Asia-Pacific region. 3. Employ a nationwide recycling scheme that includes the upcycling of obsolete ADF mechanisms, infrastructures, vehicles, aircrafts and watercrafts. These materials, in turn, will be processed and utilised in the manufacturing of innovative technologies and prototypes produced under the CCU. When the recycling scheme is fully established, there is potential to extend its reach to a wider, nationally integrated waste management scheme. 4. Gather climate intelligence and data Being able to utilise the expansive national network of the ADF bases and stations to procure granular, real-time data to assist in climate research. By reframing the significance of the Climate Crisis as an issue of national security, we aim to interrogate the issue through terms that are

National operation - Overview of the bushfire crisis The Black Summer Bushfires of 2019-2020 was a major catalyst leading to the formation of the CCU. 18.6 million hectares burned and 3 billion animals perished. As the bushfire seasons are projected intensify, the CCU is tasked with overseeing preventative backburning operations, and providing small infrastructures to aid animals while their habitats are slowly rehabilitated.
Climate Crisis Unit
Global operations -Geoengineering As most of the natural disasters that occur within the Asia Pacific are due to the warming of the sea, the CCU will oversee the deployment of several experimental geoengineering operations in the region. Marked in yellow, the shortage of whale populations lie predominantly on the vulnerable pasific island region. The CCU is engaging in an effort to rehabilitate whale populations to rebound to their pre-commercial whaling size, predicting that carbon sink would increase by 160,000 tonnes annually. Cooling the ocean’s surface is achieved by means of Artificial Upwellers to stimulate algae and phytoplankton growth in the surface. Paired with Marine Cloud Brightening - seawater sprayed into the air to generate cloud formations to reflect the sun. Paired with geoengineering interventions in the Antarctic - such as solar reflectors, also encourages whale migration.
