Anti Facadism A public oriented project that reinvents the typical relation between the facade and the heritage listed ‘Job Warehouse’ building on Bourke Street.
Nestled on the main strip of Bourke Street, Job Warehouse became significant for facilitating a variety of public amenities, most significant of which was the famous fabric store. After it’s closing however, a large part of this four shop blocks remained derelict and defunct. The project essentially references and reinterprets inherent spatial qualities of the site to enhance it’s public presence on the human scale. This idea gets explored through an attitude of Anti-facadism which shifts focus on to a deeper understanding of the site rather than preserving the container which fences out a more successful public interaction.

I began by tracking back the evolution of the site and it’s role in public engagement. What was interesting in particular was two very key spatial features that existed during 1980 as seen by the diagrams on the top.There was a clear existence of a corridor linking Crossley and Liverpool along with a courtyard on the back side. Their coexistence entail a more fragmented organization of spaces that provides a more engaging event-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 as i thought it was more important to extract and preserve these aspects rathen than glorifying the facade.

New Abbotsford House A residential building proposal for a sculptor, challenging the typical form of a terraced house.
Occupying a corner plot marking the end block of a series of terraced houses, this project challenges the typical shared party wall feature and tilts away from it. The interior spaces were designed to flow together as a sequence and as a visionary proposal for the sculptor residing here, the house takes an aerodynamic form as if to express the future. The overall effect is to present a radical model of how a house could be imagined in a community that is dynamically shifting into modern living.

Red Cabbage Pavilion A Pavilion proposed for the NGV that evoke the natural patterns found on a red cabbage through both digital and physical processes.
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 multiple 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 structure that evoke the light-weightiness of the cabbage leaf materialized by bent timber frames and weaved plastic infill.

Public-ness & Performance Three performative spaces laid out across three key public spaces across the Swanston Street axis on the CBD.
Public spaces in the city can be characterised by the extent of engagement of the public themselves, Through this lens, I wanted to test the publicness of three spaces (Bourke St, Swanston Street and Queen Alexander gardens) by designing three performative interventions in these sites respectively. These spaces would host live dramas or interactive plays that would reveal information about the spaces by occupation and narratives. Such a close exchange of information starts to test the level of engagement with these spaces as an indicator of the performative nature of public spaces. The holistic experience of being in these three spaces create a greater understanding of the city and the people as performers in space, “Every social act is a performance’ .

Other Works A research based analysis of JBA’s Monts Et Merveilles, followed by other graphic drawings based on architecture.
This first part shows a compilation of diagrams and drawings that analyses Jean Bocabeille Architect’s ‘Monts Et Merveilles’ in Paris. The series of diagrams were an integral part of a research unit that looked into dense housing precedents across Europe and Asia. This project is particular was signified by it’s mixed use in program, merging commercial and shared spaces with a residential super-block. The overall effect was this creation of a form that resembled a mountain with it’s cutouts and slants, and the Architects were cautious about providing a distinctive identity to each of the residents by using a warm color palette to inform the facade of the entire project as simultaneously unique and consistent.

This second part shows my other graphic communication work that is based off architectural thinking. (1) shows a poster for a project titled ‘Advertisements for Architecture’ inspired by works under the same title by Bernard Tschumi. In this poster, a sky-bridge linking Melbourne Central and the Emporium was chosen as a spatial element floating in a street that has endless signs and forms, which were abstracted to a point of an experience which perhaps can’t be photographed, but can be imagined. (2) shows a Plan-elevation oblique drawing of my bedroom as an interesting way of understanding the space, utilizing the early drawings of John Hedjuk to create an image that’s playful and informative.
The pictures above show my passion for photography, and especially photography as an observational tool for architecture. I like to document spaces and narratives through this method to both capture the beauty of architecture and events alike. This is something I also use to enhance my graphic sense of composing, curating and crafting shots to tell a story.
