his project explored the opportunity of introducing a playful architecture that induce curiosity and disocvery while maintaining the natural environment of Herring Island. The design introduced a “secret” marker within the composition as per the Brief requirement.

The design uses the basic tectonic grammar of point-lineplane, mass and frame and infill for its composition. The point line plane is represented by the timber piles which also act as structural support for the training wall . The mass syntax is used in composition through te cutting into the slope while the use of gabion wall and concrete further establishes the syntax. An anechoic chamber within the core uses the frame and infill composition with timber louvers and translucent infills to create a japanese screen effect.

A sun and shade study were done to panctuate the openings to improve the natural lighting of the paths due to the tall wall. Similar to a maze garden, the low lighting created by the tall walls creates drama and reduce orientating capability which further enhances the effect of the journey of discovery. The composition also offer direct acces and exit out of the maze as well as a overhead view of the overall maze. The secret is inserted into the composition and can only be accessed indirectly through visual attention.

Regionalism - site response

his project looked at the issue of noise pollution generated by traffic over the bridge at Blyth and Atherton road. The problem impacted the user of the Merri Creek trail as well as the fauna specifically the indigenous birds in that area. The project used digital design to mitigate the environmental impact through an architecture that is site responsive and can be classified by the idea of critical regionalism.

Bolt connection to glulam member

Inspired by the source of the problem i.e. noise and its mathematical representation, a feasible geometrey was idealised into architectural form that responded to the site condition and can lessen the impact of the pollution to the area. Parametric design was used in form finding, modeling and digital fabrication.

The project also offers opportunity in redefining the role world. The form of the structure follows the undulating of traditional library through architecture. water waves and elements of bubbles exist inside the volume representing the inherent nature of its existance.

The motivation for this project was the disappearing act The sinous waves also represent the quiet nature of of reading traditional books. With the proliferation of this environment which imitate the world that we are smartphones and tablets, the once ubiquitous physical engulfed into when we are concerntrating when reading books are now becoming extinct. The concept revolves books. around the idea of the fish in a bowl. The space is an abstraction of the environment we live in. World of Despite the dynamic form of the waves, the overall design personal bubbles detached from the outside world with I am trying to convey is a quiet and reflective space our obsession of digital media consumption. We can see which can attract people out of curiosity while offering a the outside world however we live in a transparent bowl functional space that allow flow of local traffic of people Parametric design was used in form finding, parametric of isolated environment. to take a short moment of their time and grab a book modelling, structural analysis and optimisation as well as This abstraction also include the concept of water and on their way to work and return them on their way back. digital fabrication. The outcome of the project opened bubbles (air) which is essential to our survival in this ever up opportunity to have various designs using the same increasing private world. The water also represent the parametric definition(Grasshopper) as well as a basis for immense volume of knowledge which we can extract further exploration in “flat-pack” structure in the future. from “books” which again is a dying breed in the physical his is a final thesis project as part of a 400-hours Masterclass in Parametric Design at ControlMAD, Madrid, Spain, 2015. The basis of this project was to explore a public space (a structure) that offer free access to traditional books through a trust system and public donations. The design of the structure will be unique and can attract passerby. The structure is also intended to be demountable and can be easily assemble and disassembled by minimal number of people, at least 4 people. It is intended to be placed in high traffic area specifically metro/train stations.
