performative practice a manifesto excerpt The role of architecture and architectural practice as an agent of social change has been diluted by commercialisation, the rise of digital technology, globalisation and mass production which absolves the profession from its social obligation.

Architecture now is more about commercial image and economic benefits than about spaces and functions. Architects have reached a stratospheric pedestal which subjugates the need of the masses and only serves the select few and the privileged, with beauty and aesthetics, but condemns the remainder to banal design, undeserving of the architect’s attention...

Architecture can redeem itself from the accusation of negligent of its role and obligation to society, as an agent of change, by committing architectural practice to the idea of performative practice.

Performative practices collectively can make a difference, through socially sustainable architecture, locally and globally, by harnessing the power of the internet and digital technology. It is time for architects to be inclusive and be enablers to social change.

I am inspired by the work of NOX Studio (Lars Spuybroek), Heatherwick and Morphosis that explore futuristic digital form finding techniques and material innovations into possibilities for construction and new spatial experience.

My design strength lies with my ability to couple contextual elements with dynamic form-finding approach using digital tools. I hope to bring fresh design ideas and strong technical know-how to an architectural outfit that values loyalty, innovation and human capital.

?

What if we reject holding an event in the same place year after year, what if instead it is brought to the shifting sand dunes from which the very soul of the event originated? What would a festival look like without a fixed location, without a fixed form, and without fixed pathways to travel upon

Taking the Pushkar Camel Fair as a case study, we aim to create a new annual livestock fair for the camel herders of Rajasthan.

In this new fair the traditional camel herders of Rajasthan will not only participate in the usual trade of camel stock, but will also participate in specific rituals that generate an iterative, layered, moving architecture that would provide an everevolving site for future fairs.

By holding the fair in the same, established location every year the relationships that has been interior cavern view to arena built over centuries between camel, herder and environment is slowly worn away. Releasing the fair’s architecture from a fixed location refocuses the true ideals of the fair as one of the bond between man and beast and the arduous journeys groupwork; rendering, material study and fabrication, grasshopper that both must take to continue thriving together.

research themes 1

// aeolian transport countless sand particles travelling through the currents of fluid motion are shifted into complex natural formations that are constantly shifting and evolving. These particles move across a still landscape , accumulating into migrating dunefields that make permanent fixtures near impossible.

2

// ritual sunna no onna - woman in the dunes (1964) - kobo abe a japanese classic it potrays what is life but endless cycle of rituals. a women in the dunes deals with the choice between working against or with the environment.

3

// sedimentation natural structures formed through the gradual layering of material and solidification and compression.

4

// camel-raika relationship the raika people of rajastan believe they were chosen by Shiva, a hindu god, to practice camel husbandry.

This proud ethnic group live their lives with their camels and develop close relationships with the animal. Some said to be able to identify camels by the footprints they leave on the sand.

S E D I M E N T A R Y A R C H I T E C T U R E B I O C E M E NTAT I O N To emulate the natural process of sedimentation the layering technique couple with the biocementation of sand as solidification approach was chosen. The biological activity is initiated within the target zone through augmentation of microbes onto the surface by means of spraying the bacteria solution to catalyse the precipitation of calcite and binds the sand together.

Micorbial-induced calcite precipitation through urea hydrolysis. The use of biocementation is a viable technique to bind together loose sand to create sustainable structure in the desert environment using the available resources of the biotope; camel urea, sand with introducing bacteria B. Pasteurii was chosen because it has highly active urease enzyme which catalizes the reactions that produces precipitation of calcite.

L A Y E R I N G To create an even layer of solidified sand, a simple spraying machine would include a nozzle array that sprays the solution onto the sand surface with even distribution. The spraying machine is designed to be attached to the camel like a back pack typical of its traditional role as the beast of burden. With the typical number of camels (50,000 to 200,000) attending the festival it’s viable and practical approach.

Latticework of mega columns and diagonals to resist lateral forces (wind). Interconnection of mega columns and diagonal members will equalize axialloading when the overall structure subject to lateral forces

Lateral load primarily wind loading transferred to the core shear wall through systems of trusses. At the top third of the tower, the truss system is further enhanced with interconnected truss belt because the wind load is at its maximum at that elevation.

To further improve the performance of the lateral system where the tower is at its maximum wind loading, a belt truss interconnect to perimeter frame columns to maxmize the axial stiffness of columns participating in the lateral system.

co-housing multi residential prototype

ollective

common was conceived as a hybrid prototype multi-residential development, it combines the traditional terrace/row house typology common in Melbourne with typical urban dwelling of apartment living. The development builds upon the idea of co-housing where the development retains individual private home ownership while fostering community relationship and sense of neighbourhood through shared spaces and multiuse common facilities.

Port Melbourne is demographically inclined towards young professionals, growing young families and independent elderly citizens.

These groups typically have different housing and social requirements which creates fractured housing options in the market.In consequence, this creates social isolation and decrease affordability as developers generalised these requirements to fit a larger spectrum of buyers.

SOCIAL PLAY : REPULSION

Elastica

is a architectural design project that looks at materializing the space that is inherently part of us, the personal space.

Our personal space constrains and facilitates our interaction with the environment. It is influenced both by social structure and architectural product of our time.

To represent this space we are using the tensegrity system as the material system of choice. It possesses material qualities that are reflective of this personal space.

The elasticity and the volumetric space it created provides an idealized approach to representing how this space reacts to social norms and conditioning. Tensegrity as a system of compression and tension parallels the idea of the loading of social structure and architecture onto the personal space.

As architecture defines space, we would use the tensegrity system to visualize this personal space. We hypothesized the structure to be personalized and is an architectural extension to the body. As the body itself is a unified tensegrity system (biotensegrity) it’s natural for us to extend this system to include our architectural system as means of diagrammatically visualize the space.

To illustrate the social loading we created a play which include different actors in distinctive designs and choreographed social scenarios to display how the structure (hence the personal space) would react to social loadings.

WORKFLOW

Our

design methodology follows the basic process of understanding the site through site analysis. We looked for opportunities to mediate the surroundings or in this instance to understanding the dynamic of the site and behavior that we could elicit .

We have to converge the material system and our findings from the site anaysis to develop with a structural form which mediates the site.

In our case the observation on the behavior from the pedestrian flow and collision study directed us to create a material representation of the personal space using the tensegrity system.

We used parametric modeling and grasshopper tool to inform us of possible configuration of the tensegrity system which may suit our scenario to further develop its potential to scale and grow to fulfill the project objective.

The use of computational tools such as Kangaroo helped us to scale the project and test its viability.

From the mapping process, we created a multitude of configurations which are personalised. These processes are iterative to ensure that we reached an optimised configuration which is suitable to each person.

We finally designed scenarios which simulate social situations. These scenarios will show how the structure performs in a social environment.

While the process of making allows us to test the limit of the material system as well as taking advantage of its flexibility and scalability to achieve the project objective. From the making process we tried to map the tensegrity structure to the body tensegrity model as a mean of integrating the two systems seamlessly.

Mapping

of various tensegrity geometries onto body anatomy require understanding the role of the body parts and the forces involved. Such mapping has been attempted and researched. This is particulary useful for the application of robotics and prosthetics.

Our tensegrity system can only be an approximation and personal indication of how a person describe his/her personal space.

In our configurations, the scale of the index and the aggregation design is purely of the individual group member’s personal taste and her attempt to visualize her defintion of her personal space.

I : the Longing Mom said “you go to another land find another city better than mine�

I am still searching, for it takes time In my existence these words chime I have yet to find the city of mine.

I soar sky high, free as the wind takes me As I said good bye, flying away with glee This shore welcomes me with open arms,

The Tale of a

II : the Escape In the restricted frame of view, In the restricted frame of view, with strings of headlights approaching and red taillights departing, vex with constant honking, screeching and clacking, with no means to tame.

Beleaguered soul and senses inflamed.

They walk in black and robes attired, work ward and homeward.

Expressionless‌. with life muted and soul looted.

Ants with no mother but they all walk together

In between the thunderous whine.

One brief moment rare like wine, the heaven is aligned to this patch of green shrine.

The Eucalyptus smells divine, with the rustle of its leaves entwined.

cont.

With all these crazy rhythms, look for freedom for I’m beaten take these memories as I don’t need them.

Itchy eyes drawn to the green patch, down the broad valley, crosses different alleys fronted by red bricks, colours mismatch.

An adventure’s about to hatch From the strident trains, outbound.

The hound growling his bitter wound.

Echoes from above the ground, cast un welcome shield around, the small green oasis is almost drowned.

This green turf is what is left of the wharf, it was. The wood pylons aligned like a wall, among the trees they stand tall, as sign this land is not for all.

The river was heaven in time past.

Sepia coloured sluggish flow, small ripples, left by ploughs.

There were mists with shadows cast.

Birrarrung was the dreaming path.

As clouds and clouds embrace.

Flows of breeze waft this space, gently soothes this worried face.

The gust distorts the hollow noises as focus echoes of own voices.

Rest in grace of this heaven for brief of time worries are lessen.
