1. KLIENE BOTTLE HOUSE MCBRIDE CHARLES RYAN 2008
“This weekend house is located on heavily ti-treed sand hills adjacent the ocean beach in Rye. Its spiral configuration is a spatial device which responds to the difficult topography, it is also a figure rich in coastal allusions. By passing the spiral back through itself the house has become the mathematical concept of the Klein Bottle. This strategy has unlocked a new series of relationships and sequential spatial experience. The ‘contents’ of the ‘bottle’ are a rectilinear platform and walls which make the abstract geometry inhabitable. A dramatic stair winds around an internal courtyard picking up the bedrooms of the house as it ascends, the journey ending in the great living room. Externally the building is predominantly clad in cement sheeting, simultaneously recalling both folded origami, tents and the ubiquitous ‘fibro-shack’. The building is supported on a traditional timber stud frame - pushed to its physi”

2. WEST COAST HOUSE KIRSTIN THOMPSON 1998
“This house occupies the top of a rural site with extensive views across Bass Strait and the Otways in Victoria. It comprises two primary gestures: a concrete block wall that rises up from the ground looping to form interior and exterior living spaces, and, nestled alongside this, a cedar box containing bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen. The form was determined in part by the vicissitudes of the site – the location of a number of significant gum trees, very high rainfall and prevailing winds from the north-west and southeast against which the building’s length forms a protective shield. The building finds the path of least resistance through and over the site. The building explores two primary concepts. The first seeks to develop an alternative relationship between architecture and the landscape. Rather than adopt the model of the pavilion in the bush, typical of much new Australian housing in the bush, the building is an act of enclosure. The building is not a closed object in a field but rathe a ‘wall’ which weaves its way through and across the site, embracing and drawing the landscape into the building and vice versa to form a highly charged territory. This develops a more dynamic and integral relationship between architecture and landscape. For example a garden wall which is a landscape element grows, turns and loops to form an inte interior space, turns again and transforms once more into a garden wall. how architecture interacts with, and relates to, what is around it, that is how it establishes a relationship between the building and people and various elements in the built environment – architecture and landscape architecture, the building and the street, figure and ground”

1. NORTHCOTE COMMUNUTY HEALTH CENTRE GREG BURGESS, 1997
“This Community Health Centre accommodates medical, dental and psychiatric services in a humane and supportive environment, with real links to the local community network by, for example, the integration of a bus stop in the front façade and connecting to an adjacent library. Materials, textures, colours and light all carefully and sensitively controlled to radiate a sense of wellbeing in staff and visitors alike. This building was intended to provide an exciting and uplifting experience upon entering. The centre was of domestic scale and construction in order to further support and encourage people to use the facilities offered by the centre.” taken from architects wesbite

MOBIU S STR I P “ Deconstruction theory embraces the precept that meaning is always uncertain and that it is not the task of the critic to illuminate meaning of a given work”
The Möbius strip or Möbius band is a surface with only one side and only one boundary component. The Möbius strip has the mathematical property of being nonorientable. It can be realized as a ruled surface. The Möbius strip is not a surface of only one geometry (i.e., of only one exact size and shape), such as the half-twisted paper strip depicted in the illustration to the right. Rather, mathematicians refer to the (closed) Möbius band as any surface that is topologically equivalent to this strip. Its boundary is a simple closed curve, i.e., topologically a circle. The Möbius strip has several curious properties. A line drawn starting from the seam down the middle will meet back at the seam but at the “other side”. If continued the line will meet the starting point and will be double the length of the original strip. This single continuous curve demonstrates that the Möbius strip has only one boundary. A strip with an odd-number of halftwists, such as the Möbius strip, will have only one surface and one boundary. A strip twisted an even number of times will have two surfaces and two boundaries.
