The natural patterns found on the cross section of a red cabbage was my precedent to extrapolate and translate into a canopy that would host public events such as talks and performances inside the entrance court of the NGV. The process switched between digital scripting in Grasshopper and physical testing of materials to create modular ‘leaf’ structures that could be easily produced and combined into the pavilion that evoke the layering of leightweight cabbage leaves forming a pattern materialized by bent timber frames and a weaved plastic infill.

TOO GOOD TO WASTE A waste management network set out across two existing decomissioned power-plants in Latrobe Valley; which sorts out the municipal waste from the city into recyclable products that are upcycled by exercising a scheme of clever adaptive re-use.

The rich coal mining past of the Latrobe Valley has ended! what could be the future? This project tries to answer this by ambitiously establishing a waste management system that reinterprets the Hazelwood power plant as a re-purposed sorting factory with an interactive learning space. The Yallourn power station is also repurposed as a Waste incineration plant, a bottle making factory and an open Bar that serves filtered CO2 for their carbonated drinks. Ultimately this project tries to merge the utilitarian role of a waste management facility along with a tourism and education that seeks to inform the public and raise awareness of our consumption habits.

Examining the expansive and eccelctic history of the site helped uncover two very key spatial features that existed during 1880.There was a clear existence of a corridor linking Crossley St and Liverpool St along with a communal courtyard on the back side. Their coexistence entail a more fragmented organization of spaces that provides a more engaging experience for both the public and the tenants. However, these inherent spatial qualities were blocked out as the site matured to form four shop front blocks. With the awareness of porosity in mind, I wanted to both reference and extend these spatial qualities that slowly developed in this site through these void spaces. The existing internal walls were retained and the external wall is demolished in the pursuit of creating an architecture that expresses it’s contrast to it’s predecessor while simultaneously translating the historical use of voids and transitional spaces to enhance pedestrian engagement, championing that experience a something more valuable and worthy of preserving rather than the typical approach of Facadism.

My role on these projects were to manage the projects, liase with the consultants and produce architectural drawings with an intention ranging from a town planning package to documentation drawings and more.
