Introduction

Architecture schools should be concerned with experimentation that challenges the apparent self-evident certainties and accepted orthodoxies of the discipline (in its expanded definition), the underlying assumptions about what architecture is and can contain, and what it should do next. Architecture schools need to ensure that their graduates have all the professional competencies that are required for professional practice and registration. But Architecture schools should also lead the struggle to challenge the default conventions of the discipline. The architecture school should strive to point towards possible futures not yet evident within existing understandings of the discipline and wider cultural/political terrains. Architecture is about ideas. It is part of a wider cultural sphere and a way of thinking about the world in a broader sense. Knowledge and learning in architecture do not finish in the academy but require continued learning and a level of receptive agility from the architect, throughout the architect’s life. The rapidly changing economic and cultural conditions in the extended fields that architects engage with necessitate this, requiring, but also opening up possibilities for, new types of knowledge, fields of engagement and practices.

The Major Project Medals The Anne Butler Memorial Medal, endowed in honour of an outstanding emerging practitioner, is awarded to a Major Project that exemplifies the goals of Major Project. The Peter Corrigan Medal celebrates the project that is most critical, political and culturally engaged. It is awarded to a student with a strong independent vision in honour of Professor Peter Corrigan who taught successive generations of architects at RMIT for over 40 years.

The architecture student’s graduating Major Project – a capstone for the formal design degree – should not merely demonstrate the competence and skill they acquired in the course. These are base expectations on entry into the graduating semester. The graduating project is an opportunity to speculate through the work and to develop ideas that will serve as catalysts for future, lifelong investigations.

The Antonia Bruns Medal, endowed to recall Antonia’s interest in the relation between film and architecture, is awarded to a Major Project that investigates the relationship between architectural representation, association and perception.

The project should lay bare considered attitudes, brave speculations and leaps of faith, pursuing these with rigour and depth. We would hope that the projects are ambitious, brave and contain propositions relevant to their time. We would hope that students experiment – in whatever form this might take – and engage with difficult questions, contributing not merely to areas that are well explored, but to what is yet to come. Experimentation though, in the graduating project, as well as in the design studio, comes with the risk of failure. But failure can be cathartic – it is an essential possibility tied to innovation.

The Leon van Schaik 25th Anniversary Peer Assessed Major Project Award celebrates Prof. Leon van Schaik’s arrival as Head of Architecture at RMIT 28 years ago. It is decided by all Major Project voting for what they view as the most adventurous and future-embracing project of the semester.

At RMIT Architecture we understand well the ethos and importance of experimentation and we have longstanding processes to reward it, importantly through our grading and moderation processes. In the RMIT architecture programs, we call this ‘venturous ideas-led design practice’.2 ‘To be ‘venturous’ is to be brave and take risks. What we hope is happening here is that students are learning to establish their own explorations which they can constantly reconsider and navigate through future conditions that may not resemble present understandings of practice. Competencies and experimentation can happily co-exist. We aim to educate students to engage with architecture’s specific characteristics unapologetically, and to not be afraid of its complex, uncertain and liquid nature. We aim to prepare our graduates to engage in and contribute to a broader world of ideas and to eventually challenge our ability to judge with new, challenging and meaningful propositions.

Studio Futures: Changing trajectories in architectural education, Uro Publications, Melbourne, Australia, pp. 25-31 ‘Venturous’ is a term also used by RMIT Professor Leon van Schaik and Professor Richard Blythe in relation to the RMIT Design Practice PhD

model, originated over 25 years ago by van Schaik, who states ‘Design Practice Research at RMIT is a longstanding program of research into what venturous designers actually do when they design’ .

What is Major Project? In Major Project, students are expected to formulate an architectural research question and develop an articulate and well-argued architectural position through the execution of a major architectural design project.

RMIT Architecture values ambitious, adventurous projects; those that demonstrate new and pertinent architectural ideas or show how established ideas can be developed or transformed to offer deeper understandings. The best major projects take risks and attempt to see architecture anew. Major Project should form the beginning of an exploration of architectural ideas that can set the agenda for the first ten years of original and insightful architectural practice. The nature of the project is not set, and the scope of the brief and site is established by the student in consultation with their supervisor as the most appropriate and potentially fruitful vehicle for testing and developing their particular area of architectural investigation. Typically, major projects proceed in a similar way to design studios – with the difference being that students themselves set their brief and topic of investigation. The research question and architectural project will often develop in parallel and it is expected that the precise question and focus of the project will be discovered and clarified through the act of designing. This process is iterative and develops through weekly sessions. Projects are also formally reviewed at two public mid semester reviews before the final presentation. Major Projects have ranged from strategic urban and landscape interventions with metropolitan implications, through to detailed explorations of building form, materiality, structure and inhabitation; to detailed experimentation in the processes and procedures of architectural production. It is expected that Major Projects will develop a particular and specific area of interest that has grown during a student’s studies, rather than merely complete a generic and competent design. Often these specific interests will develop in relation to those of supervisors – we encourage students to work closely with their supervisors to build on mutual areas of expertise and interest. It is understood that major projects will differ in scope, scale, kinds of representation produced and degree of resolution; with these factors depending on the nature of the architectural question and accompanying brief. Emphasis should be placed on producing a coherent and complete project, where proposition, brief, scale, degree of resolution and representation work together to provide a balanced, convincing and focused expression of architectural thought. There is no expectation that Major Project be ‘comprehensive’ in scope. Rather, the aim of the subject is to establish, through the completion of a major design work in a rigorous manner, a well-argued architectural experiment that has the potential and richness to engender future explorations and that will sustain the student for the next ten years of their architectural practice. A high level of skill and a demonstrated knowledge of existing architectural ideas is an important component of a successful major project, however the goal should not be to demonstrate a professional level of accepted best practice. Rather it is an opportunity to demonstrate new kinds of knowledge and ideas through architectural form. _Excerpt from Major Project Briefing Notes 2018

Central Melbourne Public Works Mia Tulen Supervisor: Prof. Mark Jacques

Welcome to Melbourne, formerly the most liveable city in the world. Rapidly appearing developments across the CBD has seen many of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blocks grow exponentially, facilities that once supported a couple of hundred residents now need to cater for several thousand. The once rich ground plane has been filled in and we are left with service cupboards and loading bays taking pride of place on the street. Central Melbourne Public Works strips back potentially shareable elements of each building on a CBD block and combines them into one civic, public works hub that unpacks the idea of communal services and heroises residential and civic amenity. The idea being that building elements once seen as ugly and wasted are given the ideals of the phenomenological. This project explores the effects of the collaboration between the utilitarian and the civic, the seemingly ugly and the ethereal. An attempt to reclaim the ground plane, rectify the diminishing public realm of the glass tower jungle and put value back into the prospects of density.

‘From Self-Organizing to Self-Intuitive Intelligence’ is an innovative and intelligent design process which aims to train a complex generative system to gradually form some particular intuitions of architectural design with the application of machine learning. Emergence, as the key theoretical feature of complex systems revealing the most primordial natural phenomenon, has dramatically subverted contemporary awareness of the design process. Since the 1990s, an increasing amount of design research tends to adopt a

‘bottom-up’ methodology, which abstracts and encodes the architectural intentions and design decisions into a generative procedure with various types of computational systems. However, those ‘systems’ currently either work as a passive tool or behave primordially and are still not able to deal with the main concerns of architecture. For instance, typology. The project is a highly speculative and research-based project, which regards machine learning as the main methodology to shift the traditional generative system from ‘self-organizing’ to ‘self-intuitive’. In the research, deep reinforcement learning is adopted as the main algorithmic framework of machine learning. The process is developed through a series of experimental tests with two typical generative systems: Random Walker (simple computational system) and Mesh Differential Growth (Self-Organizing system). Finally, all the developed design process and techniques are tested in a high-rise tower design project (Tower_Artificial_Evolution), located in Central Manhattan, New York. The genie is out of bottle (Prof. Stephen Hawking). Embrace the power of this artificial intelligence era!

Final_Outcome

Peter Corrigan Medal Semester 2, 2018 Supervisor Statement: 'It's Not Yours, It's Ours' is a highly critical and researched design proposition on the historical and future urban conditions that arise when Morwell’s primary industry, the Hazelwood Power Station, is closed. Through a series of architectural, infrastructural and landscape interventions, the 14km project gives expression to a community in need of jobs, provides a platform for “less dirty’’ energy alternatives, and provides commentary on a township obliged to connect anew with its country and take pride in its civic and industrial architecture. The town, the pit and the power station are brought into a new dialogue through Jarrod’s project that posits a future of “better problems”. _ Adam Pustola and Sam Hunter

It’s Not Yours, It’s Ours Jarrod Malbon Supervisors: Adam Pustola & Sam Hunter

The public went private, so when will the private go public? This thesis aims to explore the possibility of private assets going back into public hands. Specifically, it is looking into the public take-over of the Hazelwood Power Station in Morwell, and how it can be used a catalyst for industry diversification. It looks explicitly at the ideas of giving the community of Morwell a voice, remediation of once public infrastructure, how heritage can be more than a preservation tool and allow a political forum in which different beliefs can be exchanged. It explores the recognition of difference between two ideologies and tries to make it architecture. These two ideologies are never touching but always in conversation. The architecture is not explicitly optimistic or sarcastic, nor is it completely pessimistic, what it does is assume is the voice of many parties. For better or for worse, these voices create difference. Morwell isn’t a clean energy utopia, it’s an urbanism of better problems. Public architecture is dependent on nuisance, innovation, remediation and more industry. You can’t have something for nothing.

ArdmoNa GV Thomas Belcher Supervisor: Dr. Peter Brew

ArdmoNa GV explores how an understanding of architecture is acquired. This project considers the knowability of things. There is a gap between a thing encountered and the images the encounter emanates in our mind. A grave encountered emanates the body within. The charge of the architect is to provide a description or idea pertaining to a thing which emanates an image of that thing in its entirety. This project is a close reading of the National Gallery of Victoria and a re-establishment of the NGVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founding principles from its time in the State Library of Victoria as a system to access the 69,638-piece collection. Recognising that non-architectural systems of reference are integral to the spatial understanding of the NGV/SLV established in 1856. This spatial circumstance is lost on the current iterations of the NGV due to the acquisition of works beyond the capacity of the armature. Ardmona re-presents the armature that is the NGV as a distribution centre and reference machine, providing unfettered access to the exponentially growing collection. The systems facilitating access to the collection are confused for works of the collection, and the works are mistaken for architecture. The acquisition policy, formerly crippling the NGV is accommodated. Through this new version of the National Gallery of Victoria an understanding of Ardmona is emanated. Ardmona is known through the dent it makes on the NGV.

Antonia Bruns Medal Semester 2, 2018 Supervisor Statement: Louis' project titled 'Beyond the Selfie', both questions and embraces the implications that social media has on architecture. It creates a taxonomy of Melbourne's most instagrammable architecture that are reformed and reconstituted across the city square site as a series of episodic moments that are both instagrammable and experiential. Placing the familiar in an unfamiliar setting, 'Beyond the Selfie' creates a new civic architecture, layered with memories of Melbourne where we become the actors, the city is our stage and Instagram is our global theatre. _ Dr. Christine Phillips

Beyond the Selfie

Louis Nuccitelli Supervisor: Dr. Christine Phillips

Social media has inherently allowed us to create cities that are no longer for us. Cities, once places imagined through stories and first-hand experiences, are now constructed through a patchwork of imagery fed to us via social media. We carry multiple cities in our pockets populated by the views of people we may never know. What are the architectural consequences of this condition? My major project explores this through a re-assemblage of Melbourne as a unified whole; a cultural quilt of what is deemed “instagrammable”. This taxonomy of fragments of Melbourne’s architecture are re-formed and dispersed across the former Melbourne City Square. Placing the familiar in an unfamiliar setting to create a new civic architecture, layered with a collective memory of Melbourne. “Beyond The Selfie” is presented as what happens when we put our phone back in our pockets. Within the scenes, plays carry on within the play. Where we are the actors and the city is our stage, Instagram is our global theatre.

Without

Michael Strack Supervisor: Dr. Peter Brew

What ideas define us? These ideas - do they carry us to greater glory? Or do they dash us on the rocks of our own misunderstanding? What do we do when we need to change? How do we stop our past from becoming our future? We project a new idea. We call upon architecture to form our cities of a different substance. We use architecture to fashion a new understanding of a city. These particular understandings are the durable, repeatable and verifiable stuff of our architecture. What is fashioned then is a mechanism, an instrument. This project hopes to turn the future on its axis and locate a new understanding of a particular city. This project is the construction of a functional myth enacted by ritual. This plan deals with the city within and the unstable land without (its foundation) in order to build a durable understanding of the instability of both as a basis for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new future

AERIAL PERSPECTIVE OF AMAZON HQ3 SITUATED NORTH OF DOCKLANDS

This project proposes a vision for the future of Amazon as it grows beyond anything we have seen before in a global corporation. It presents a model for corporate headquarters to integrate with the cities they decide to inhabit by responding to the needs and desires of the local community, acting as a good corporate citizen, while simultaneously realising the immense scale of the company’s ambition through built form. The project speculates on the future of how we live and work amid rapid technological change and an environmental crisis. The distinctions between work, home, nature and leisure become blurred into a new condition of living. Through increasing digitisation and automation, humans will be relinquished from many of their roles and allow a greater portion of the population to focus on creative endeavours, speaking to humans need to create and shape. Most importantly, ‘Amazon Melbourne HQ3’ places emphasis on the agency of the individual. Through a critique of Amazon’s current business practices, the project generates a hyper connected mixed typology development, providing opportunity for collaboration and cross-pollination of Amazon’s many and diverse project teams, fostering a healthier environment for ideas to flourish.

VIEW OF INTERNAL CONDITION

The project intends to speak back to the discipline and profession around the framing of Aboriginal relationships through and with housing, with a reframing of the terms under which engagement is undertaken. I am mindful that this is a contentious issue. That there is a history of external professions and organisations speaking for and about Aboriginal communities and people in ways that deny voice and agency to those communities. My intention is then, as above, to conduct a conversation within architecture and between architects. The project is an alternative model of social housing in a remote New South Wales town called Wilcannia. It is a critique of the current real estate distribution in the town; a colonial grid with a series of subdivided plots. The subdivision is tailored to three and a half bedroom houses/nuclear families. By offering this as the only housing model in Wilcannia what we are suggesting is that you can have houses but they will be like ours and by extension, you will be like us. The building has been designed in response to three key attributes inherent in Wilcannia’s Aboriginal community, they are: 1. The ability to cope with significant population flux 2. The house as a piece of infrastructure to live around more so than to live within 3. The highly communal social structure of the Indigenous community This proposal aims to be the white noise in the background of something far more beautiful. The real architecture is the Indigenous inhabitation. What I can provide instead is a site that has assets that can be used in a direct way and that are available.

Margot Watson Supervisor: Kerstin Thompson

This research project is a cultural investigation into the changing way we live. It aims to demonstrate that the way in which we live our private lives has direct consequences for our public lives and urban realm. Proposed is a residential tower located in Box Hill. Using Box Hill as a case study, observations were made of the disparity in urban density between the typology of the postwar suburban villa and that of the tower and podium typology currently inundating the suburb. An alternate solution is proposed that maintains the tower typology but significantly shifts its internal organisation to extend and expand our understanding of the urban realm, to develop a middle-grain urbanism. These shifts within the tower typology are catalysed by the smallest element on site - the bed. A series of bed esquisses demonstrates a new understanding around how we live today. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2012 that 80 percent of New York City professionals work regularly from bed as a consequence of our hyperconnectivity. This has reinstated the overlap between our private lives and public lives. The city has consequently moved into the bed. These beds act as a catalyst for a new architectural paradigm, re-defining the role of the domestic in housing design. The boundary of the dwelling, and what constitutes a dwelling is consequently changed, and re-configured. This aims to provide more modes of living, including the communal, where inhabitants are invited to negotiate or set their preferred boundaries between the public and private realm.

SINGULARITIES

New Singularities

Bowen Jessup Supervisor: John Doyle C R O Y D O N M A S T E R P L A N // A X O N O M E T R I C

Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning strategy is focused on inner city development, implementing mini CBDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Box Hill & Ringwood) and our burgeoning urban growth boundary. But what about the in-between? Rather than expanding at unsustainable levels arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we better served by consolidating and building on our existing infrastructure? New Singularities is focused on the suburb of Croydon, a former Melbourne 2030 site, where the then lauded planning strategy never came to fruition. The aftereffect has seen volume focused residential developments without any supporting amenity. This is making Croydon a bedroom town that empties during the working week. The term singularity refers to a black hole, which contains a gravitational singularity. Matter is compressed into a one-dimensional singular point. This is construed as the points in the masterplan that require multiple functions to be compressed and from which exceptional architecture manifests. Instead of a densified suburban mini city in which all function is homogeneous, this strategy embraces the generic nature of suburban housing development, only laying a framework for density. This establishes a cocktail of conditions that separates out amenity and civic moments compressing them into points of intensification. An unhomogenised strategy where the fat separates and compresses into exceptional moments of singularity.

The price performance of computer hardware compounded consistently each year, since the early 1900’s. However, in architecture there is a tendency to use computers to mimic human architectural process, as opposed to working with mathematical processes that harness this latent potential. This is downright inefficient.

DARK FACTORY Core contains fully automated robotic factory with limited to no human intervention or access to light

BREAK OUT ZONES The creation of niche breakout zones is encoded into the algorithmic logic

GENERAL PURPOSE OFFICE SPACE Surrounds the dark factory core

This project attempts to expose the process of conceiving architecture as an inherently mathematical one, in order to harness the latent potential of parallel computing. A set of architectural rules is encoded into a process of self-formation. The primary form of architectural intention operates at the level of local interactions between elements. My interest in designing through these processes stems from their ability to negotiate a plethora of architectural constraints in parallel with inhuman, ruthless efficiency. This process of formation hybridises two mathematical concepts: an agentbased system; and mesh typology. The selection and hybridisation of these objects are in response to a set of specific architectural and typological concerns, that are beyond the bounds of traditional design processes. These concerns include heterogeneous tectonics; high formal resolution; and programmatic organisation. Tencent, a Chinese tech conglomerate has purchased the site 751 Swanston Street, with the intention of developing a computer science research facility that also contains a new form of inhuman programme: the dark factory – a fully autonomous robotic core. The design process behind any tower is largely a conflict of programmatic, structural and commercial requirements and architectural intent. Through this systemic approach the designer is given greater leverage in the conflict between typological requirements and the designer’s architectural agenda.

Open Standard

Nicholas Sweetland Supervisor: Prof. Mark Jacques

‘Open Standard’ is a flexible housing network presenting an alternative model of living that must be completed by the user, where customized forms of living and cohabitation are explored. The idea for ‘Open Standard’ emerged from Polish architect Oskar Hansen’s (1922-2005) work on “open forms,”. Hansen questioned the modernist practice of providing social housing through standardized models. Instead he called for incomplete systems and for architecture as living structures. If we try create a rationale for people gathering together to live, one begins to consider relationships generated between units and their relationships with surrounding houses. We begin to conceive of architecture as a thing to be woven into the urban fabric. If new forms of human housing offer new opportunities like this, we must be able to say why they are preferable to old ones. To do that, a clear insight is needed into what the dwelling really means. Once we agree that it is necessary to introduce the inhabitant or active force into the housing process we can face the future with confidence. Building has always been a matter of confidence and to make this a reality we must be clear and unequivocal about the nature of the user’s needs.

The Pioneers Bryan Chung Supervisor: Peter Bickle

‘The Pioneers’, by Bryan Chung, traces the first journey through an imaginary homeland in Woomera, a deserted refugee detention centre and nuclear testing ground. It is a place removed from the vestige of country. Here, a polemic homeland is created where none existed before. It asks: What makes a homeland? How do we recognise its objects? And what are its preconditions for access? The discovery of the homeland follows Dorothy’s journey in the Wizard of Oz. Oz also being Australia mirrors key moments in Australian place making. Dorothy’s journey begins with the falling homestead, a self-imploding colonial object. The yellow brick road is a sheep run, a golden landscape filled with promise. It is the Homeland Reception and Processing Centre, where objects are assessed for inclusion in the new homeland. The shearing shed is the witch’s castle, a dual Bunnings store and Heritage Detention Prison, where the categorical boundaries of value and cultural status are always in dispute. Blue commemorative plaques are handed out. The objects that were denied access to the homeland are remembered at the shrine, a deadly poppy field with a Halicarnassan trellis. The wizard’s throne room is now a Potemkin parliament. Dorothy pulls back the curtain, revealing a fraud. Here is Gough Whitlam’s rostra, where our government was dismissed in 1975. As Dorothy escapes from the angry crowd, a rainbow serpent bridge emerges, a golden path to illumination, representing a reversal or going back. The path leads back to the house, and so the journey becomes a bildungsroman, where we get to the end and find ourselves at the beginning.

Pet City Docklands

Chea Yuen Yeow Chong Supervisor: A/Prof. Graham Christ

Docklands has long been impaired by its massive building volume, highly regulated urban spaces and a lack of diversity. These issues have caused Docklands to be overly designed and overly developed causing a depletion in communities. This project explores the idea of urban density, the small and the temporary through a series of place-making devices. ‘Pet City’ is everything that contradicts Docklands’ current state. This project is not a solution to fix Docklands. Which, in this case, strict urban planning has proved to be

scale 1:1000

unfavourable. Rather, this project aims to demonstrate how a complementary city made up of ‘pet’ buildings that are arrayed along the water’s edge could bring some subtle changes to Docklands. ‘Pet City’ is essentially a collection of city programmes which can be read as a set or family. The pet buildings are colour-coded and are given forms and geometry that subtly suggests their functionality, providing their users a second layer of improvisation. ‘Pet City’ suggests, perhaps an architectural solution might not always need to be building but simply an assemblage of loosely designed objects. Allowing some generosity in control by embracing the accidental, ad-hoc nature that surfaces out of it.

The project proposes a community hub which functions as a water cleaning system and serves as an institutional and recreational centre, mainly serving the community. The site was previously an industrial abandoned factory located in Yarraville. The project addresses the problem of the land’s conflicting features which made people forget this site. One side is an industrial area, and the other side is a sports field and highway. It also has a serious water pollution problem.

Which focuses on the mixture of grassland and wetland landscapes. The projects program has the part for the restoration of the water, and the combination of the grassland. The restoration part includes water harvesting, cleaning of water and water collection. The partial relationships are juxtaposed, so that they can be presented in sequence, which might make community people realize the order and contact of the architecture in the long term.

The Heterotic Market

Xiang Bo Wang Supervisor: John Doyle

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Heterotic Marketâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is about the formal expression of food and agriculture and how that could create expressive and ornamental civic spaces. As well as this, it rethinks the current marketplace for agricultural exchange and the market typology in order to bring out the importance of food and agricultural processes through architecture. If food is so important to humanity, the architecture that houses our food deserves our greatest respect. Our food deserves better than sheds. The marketplace requires its own civic identity. It need to be a space of awe to celebrate our sustenance. Social productivity needs to be brought back into the marketplace and reconfigure the relationship between our producers and consumers. The project explores various generative devices, searching for new expressive language that originates from food and agricultural processes. The exuberant quality of the project expresses the importance of food and agriculture, using its grandeur to attract consumers and to harness public life. Its bell tower enables a participatory democracy that encourages public participation whilst questioning existing practices within our food system.

Cureocity

Madeleine Di Salvo Supervisor: John Doyle

The city’s innovative development is only as successful as its capacity to foster it, therefore to establish innovation we have to build upon Melbourne’s strengths. Medical technologies, education and research are the critical magnets that make our city attractive and citizens driven, so how can an architectural solution present facilitative program to best enable this combined agenda? The proposed Medical Innovation District sits at a midpoint between Melbourne's medical precinct and tertiary institutions - both of which claim to be ‘open to the public’ but are not publicly focused or instructive. This proposal provides a visitor-front door, being an open environment to learn and heal without having to be a student or dramatically ill. However, if you are, the framework distributes a mixed-use building typology to consider these varied scales of density. This ultimately counters the current dispersion of the institute and rather than fragmenting it into the suburbs, it spreads the city within it. Social and human capital are prioritised in ensuring an architecture is formed specific enough to enrich personal experience and narrative yet varied enough to become suited to multiple disciplines. I explored ancient Roman baths as a precedent as it historically served as public meeting, respite and educational spaces. Process-based experiments generated a series of porous forms that were overlaid to demystify the negative connotations associated with disease. These erosive qualities represent transparency within an educational framework, the diagnosis of disease and treatment and breakthrough of urban conditions.

One could argue that successful architecture is not only beautiful and functional, but also capable of generating a specific ambiance, narrative, and an overall memorable experience. My investigation explores the possibility of establishing The Broadmeadows School of Spatial Intelligence (BSSI) in the now vacant Ford Broadmeadows assembly plant (Campbellfield Victoria) where architecture will act as didactic instruments. A number of Spatial Events dedicated to understanding and manipulating space are arranged around the existing field of columns; guided by The Archive (red wall) and contained by The Envelope (yellow wall). I am interested in Events for contemplating, prototyping, and making; in narratives and atmospheres; in 1:1 spatial exploration, and in an education model where students are allowed -and encouraged- to modify and take agency of the spaces in which they learn. School are not only comprised of Events, teaching and learning spaces are also required. Attached to The Envelope, a series of traditional teaching an learning spaces are provided in order for the BSSI to be operational. A multipurpose lecture theatre, a group of workshops and an exhibition and research building, to name a few. Are we ready for an educational model where the creation of stunning renders is secondary? Can we envision a future where we master traditional and contemporary tools by testing our ideas outside of the digital realm?

A multipurpose lecture theatre, a group of workshops and an exhibition and research building to name a few. Are we ready for an educational model where the creation of stunning renders is secondary? Can we envision a future where we master traditional and contemporary tools by testing our ideas outside of the digital realm? Are we ready to learn from experience?

One could argue that successful architecture is not only beautiful and functional, but also capable of generating a specific ambiance, narrative and an overall memorable experience. My investigation explores the possibility of establishing The Broadmeadows School of Spatial Intelligence (BSSI) in the now vacant Ford Broadmeadows assembly plant (Campbellfield Victoria) where architecture will act as a didactic instrument.

This project attempts to situate itself within the wider topical issues of migration, settlement and border security, investigating the social organisation that arises from environments of insecurity and exploring architecture at the intimate scale of the human body. ‘Walden 80’ is a charter city, eighty zones within Malaysia that redress the legacy of the now obsolete national service programme. It is a city for, and governed by, the stateless people and dispossessed communities of Malaysia. Largely made up of descendants of migrant

workers, unregistered marriages and the nomadic indigenous people of Borneo, they are viewed as ‘illegals’, their lives characterised by confinement and perpetual foreignness. ‘Walden 80’ explores the ties that are formed in such tyrannical conditions. An architecture that celebrates the resilience of people and community. The architecture of these training sites was conceived as defining, dichotomous concepts: male/female, in/ out, military/civilian. How can we begin to dismantle the categorical state apparatus? ‘Walden 80’ is about place but transcends its location. It grapples with our changing relationship to land, how where we are in the world tells us something about our identity. Citizen or alien, part or other, refugee, resident, member, or illegal. Or we can simply be here.

TAKING REFUGE

Taking Refuge

Alexis Awino Omwela Supervisors: Simone Koch

There is no country which is actively recruiting migrants, but many which are declaring that migrants are a threat or burden to the state. The debate Australia is currently having is around where immigrants should move to. Only a few sources correctly locate refugees and migrants, but most are placed in main urban areas with conditions that burden them and cause more harm than good. This project aims to design a housing system that will accommodate by integrating and helping the resettlement of sub-Saharan African Migrants into Australia. The concept of this housing project is that it can anticipate and respond to external changing circumstances by making homes adaptable to changing needs. Instead of building a small static house and considering it as completed, a core house unit is designed as part of a future larger house that would provide the user with the basic essentials of a normal house. This project includes three types of housing models that expand in 2-3 ways to allow the user to increase the footprint of their house and have additional space. The houses are arranged in such a way that they test out and maximise the density of a typical suburb and push it further. A soft blend in plot sizes and shared backyard spaces allow for a reduction in space requirements, all while allowing them to socialize and identify with each other and their neighbours. Thus, creating the most ideal housing complex in Australia.

‘Beyond the Convergence’ speculates on the future of an enhanced education campus prioritizing the idea of interactivity and the emergence of new networks and models between tertiary learning environments and industry workplaces. It examines the shift in the centre of gravity in campus design, focusing on the potential of academia and industry, socializing and collaborating together. The project threads two distinct types of program groups together to allow parallel access to study and work. The project also explores movement as the main driver for learning as a programmatic, spatial and formal strategy that sees learning as a series of 'learning flows' investigated through multiple procedural experiments: system-based, typological and analogue. It takes its form from the readings and behaviour of wind systems to create types of learning narratives that overlap to lead inhabitants through constant movement and experiential learning journeys. The spatial and network complexity creates multiple dead ends that could facilitate individual discovery and a series of knowledge exchange spaces; becoming key social functions of the campus that spill over from different programs at multiple layers and conditions. The design forms an intriguing silhouette, a recognizable collection of buildings that emerge from Footscray Park forming a formal fracture in the landscape that introduces vibrant learning and civic environments to suburban life.

BLACKWELL ISLAND (19TH CENTURY)

ROOSEVELT ISLAND (21ST CENTURY)

GRAFTING: BLACKWELL ISLAND AND ROOSEVELT ISLAND

Roosevelt Island (formerly known as Blackwell Island) is located between Manhattan and Queens. In 2080, it is chosen to be the location for the headquarters of New York City’s new governing arm made up of the ‘clinically insane’. This is an attempt to assimilate the ‘clinically insane’ into society by eradicating the stigma that comes with it. It is achieved by normalising their kind by introducing them into the political system of New York City, with the hope that their influence will make the rest of society realise they are no different from us. This project is intended as a resuscitation of the history that was buried, using architectural language that is stretched to its extremes. This language attempts to aestheticize episodic mental states and take on emotions. It is to become the revealer of truth, the performer of taboos and an advocate of non-conformity. It fuses the unpopular with the metaphysical, the destitute with the sublime and the refined with the primitive. It is not pretty. It is here to stay, it is here to be seen, it is to trigger, to provoke, to invoke – it is here to offend the masses. It reflects on the reality and stigma of mental illness, poverty and the madness of politics and the people in it that make decisions on issues from the welfare of people to warfare. It also acknowledges and recognises the dark history of incarceration and intense abuse that took place on this island in the nineteenth century.

deemed the focal point for developments and has taken on the role for catalysing suburban growth. With the ability to change the essence of the suburb and manipulate the living conditions of the demographic, mid-rise types need to be designed with purpose and meaning. The ability to cater for a larger demographic is the key, by providing variations of living, working and civic spaces. Through process-based experiments, several tests were implemented to generate variations of spatial scale, form and orientation. Each of these variations produce new coherent relationships with adjoining and intersecting programs. The re-imagining of the podium produces an element that reveals the traits of the suburb that once were. It is revealed in spatial and formal moments between the newly formed program relationships and the experience of formal complexity. The M.E.A.T is an example of how we can shape living environments for multi-generational interaction and culture. The presence of this form is not subtle, nor does it try to hide the fact that its contrasts its context. It is the meat in the middle of the plate, it wants to be seen.

Renewal with Diversity

Danni Lou Supervisor: Brent Allpress

This proposal is concerned with gentrification and cultural displacement in Melbourne suburbs. It is against the typical developer-driven projects, negotiating between suburban intensification and a local multicultural nature. The result is a mixed-typology block that hybridises the local market, the communal, the civic and residentials. The site is located in the former Little Saigon Market, Footscray, which burnt down two years ago. Having welcomed wave after wave of immigrants, Footscray is made up of a collection of vibrant multicultural communities, which enable the city to become a hybrid complex of diverse practices. This narrative is being eroded by the urban renewal projects that discount this fine-grain nature and produce exclusionary, homogenous urban places. Taking the market laneway as the catalyst for integrating different programs, a ray of passages running across the site are suggested, which break up the scale of buildings to respond to the local fine-grain urban fabric, as well as create an extroverted and accessible block where intensity is built upon difference. The block is experienced and understood as a multi-layered combination of elements, not as a singular entity. A canopy condition is proposed to blur the distinction between different programs, where diverse activities are encouraged along the interface, capturing the informal character of Footscray. The collective, the civic, the communal and the residential are hybridised together in the block, interacting with each other in terms of scales, types, void connections and material conditions, thus writing new narratives that talk to the context.

The grain Melbourne once thrived in is being erased as they make way for a not-so ‘marvellous’ Melbourne. This project explores urban grain through form to develop an architecture for a contemporary Melbourne. By appropriating elements from the city’s history, a built memory and a resonation with place is instilled in the architecture. A set of profiles harnesses the composition of the past forms to curate the edge interface of the interior and interface to the street in plan. The forms then envelope the rigidity of a gridded dimension to define a more diverse grain that moves with topography of the museum excavation while creating laneways through the site. The moulding forms exert their presence on the ground plane giving vibrancy, variation and porosity within the proportions of the framework. The facade is as sculptural and necessary as the grain it is derived from. It moves vertically through each swept motion creating spatial relationships for the user while speaking with its collective neighbours through the site as a whole. Composed for solidity and porosity in proportion, the tower speaks of the occupant interface directly and the pedestrian interface peripherally. It is governed in plan by the grain, not it’s program, allowing light to pass between them to fall within the precinct. Out of this project’s design research emerges a methodology describing how to affect the city more broadly. It is not set to destroy the existing but to propose a future for the site and a point of departure for the rest.

Since the traditional farm occupying a large area is so far out of the city, it can lead to a series of questions about all sorts of inefficiency, a single function and problems with food safety. Thus, I propose to introduce the farm into a city context and define a kind of future farm hub which is a multifunctional, intensive and valuable farm, catching the eyes of outsiders and blending the farm into people’s daily life. The future farm hub has two main functions: the farm and the community. It can be seen as a mixed-use project that provides diversified programs. These programs display the entire food production line. For instance, the growing, selling and distribution of food for local farmers and their community. At the same time, each program can also work well individually, such as the library, vegetable farm, animal farm and station. Of course this farm hub, as a combination of modern and traditional, can attract people other than farmers. The community space located within the farm hub provides these people with access to ways of learning and experiencing things related to farming.

By Nurture

Justin Chun Yin Wong Supervisors: John Doyle

The project â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;By Nurtureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; focuses on identifying the process of generic typology, gaining its specificity through studying the architectural evolution process of adaptation. Through investigating how exceptional architecture adapts and mutates in different compromised situations and takes an opportunistic approach to turn a compromised situation into a design advantage. Through extraction from a canonical prototype, the Centraal Beheer office building by Herman Hertzberger is translated into the Australian suburban context as it demonstrates its extensibility through its openness and its module organisation system that promotes the possibility of infinite variation as the design adapts to a different context. The prototype model is tested on 3 sites with different compromised qualities. These constraints contribute to redefining the meaning of prototype in different ways leading to a different design strategy approach. Letting the context define and nurture the new exceptional, the project studies the evolution of the generic architecture model. Clarifying the links and relationship between the idea of the environment and generic prototype leads to a different result from the mutation whenever a generic model is applied. Demonstrating the value of specificity in architecture and becoming the way of understanding a generic prototype and its limits. Exploring the debate between nature vs nurture. Putting value on vague utopian ideas through evaluating the base site approach and injecting precision in architectural outcomes.

Joshua Lye Supervisor: Emma Jackson

The focus of this major project revolves largely around the conflict, tension and synthesis between my interest in abstract computational design processes and their negotiation with the functional pragmatics of architecture. In part this stems from my fascination and interest in geometry, fields of matter, architectural objects and how they are manipulated and formed to discover and conceive architecture through a generative design approach. This is all tested and interrogated through the brief of Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first flagship Medicinal Marijuana cultivation centre, located in the Melbourne Airport Precinct adjacent to the existing long-term airport car parking. The program of medicinal marijuana is of less importance to me. Instead value is placed on the consideration and interrogation of the shed typology and its architectural elements. For all its modest associations and generalisations about its character the typology of the shed and its demands becomes a useful tool for computational processes, scripting urban behaviour and abstracting forms from these processes to operate and negotiate with. It is through this negotiation that this major project begins to interrogate key design elements and principles that pertain to the shed typology and its situation within its context.

Urban Therapy

Dilan Fernando Supervisors: Dr. Leanne Zilka

The drug epidemic is on the rise within Melbourne, particularly in the inner suburb of Richmond’s north. This year alone there were more than 34 cases of overdose related deaths. As a response, the state government has trialled a safe injecting room located adjacent to the school and housing commission. This room is designed to get drug users off the streets, where residents constantly report of used needles at their doorstep, to dispose of any harmful materials and reduce the number of overdoses. The urban condition is contributing to the cycle of addiction and while architecture is limited in its ability to do social work, psychotherapy and detoxification, it can remove the physical barriers in the built environment that contribute to the social problem. Because of this I have named my project ‘Urban Therapy’. What I’m proposing is a series of buildings that sit between the existing towers that will shrink the over exposure of public space and not only facilitate those who use but to restore the vitality of the area in general. This area of Richmond highlights that there is a need to restore some of the grain that has been lost and reinstate the ability to police and deter bad behaviour. This is achieved through sight lines, passive surveillance, a sense of ownership, enabling public activity, strengthening the sense of community and introducing a human scale back into the towers. It's a celebratory form that welcomes a range of facilities for all Victorians, not just low-cost housing residents.

Shepparton News Rurban Homes Service Bruce Oakley Supervisor: Emma Jackson

This project is not a direct critique on the Metricon house, but rather a catalogue of optimistic architectural experimentation within existing frameworks. It understands and accepts the object of the Metricon house as an overwhelming success and as an impending condition to be swept across the Australian landscape. The origins of these objects include services like Robin Boyd and The Age’s“Small Homes Service”, which strived to show the Australian public that good design could overcome constraints during the post-war boom. The Rurban Homes Service suggests a similar delivery of architecture to the public through the Shepparton News. It displays various examples of architectural interventions that introduce new volumes and civic functions between different models offered by Metricon. Rurbanism as described by economist Jean Gottman is a “scatteration of habitat”; a dispersal of urban functions and people across a landscape. Typical but expressive timber and steel framing clad in reclaimed corrugated irons and metal sheeting. Recycled bus tyres used for ‘rurban’ farming and jetties. These new models employ the structures, textures and scraps of the rural as a way to provide for the oncoming urban and to become more resilient to the floodplains on which the Greater City of Shepparton lies.

The Idle and the Busy

Yuanjun Lou Supervisors: Ian Nazareth This project is an office building which aims to bring the culture of Chengdu back into the high economic development urban environment, and to realize the combination between thousands of years of culture in Chengdu, and higher and higher density modern urban context. Chengdu is a city with a cultural background of thousands of years. A teahouse is a place which allows people to have their leisure time as well as business and working activities. People spend the majority of their daily life in all kinds of teahouses. The teahouse has already become the signature of the local culture and the most significant cultural atmosphere in Chengdu. Along with the fast development of the economy, more and more traditional teahouses which reflect the traditional local culture of Chengdu have been replaced with an increasing number of skyscrapers. Examples of which can be seen everywhere in the world and make the city lose its local cultural characteristics and urban quality. We cannot prevent the sustained growth of skyscrapers. But what we could do is bring the long history and culture of Chengdu, and the teahouse which is the origin of Chengdu Culture back into skyscrapers. This project applies different types of spatial arrangement and typologies of teahouse to arrange the spaces of the building. After that, the style of the different styles of tea house has been redesigned to fill the arranged spaces of the building. This project references the different elements of teahouses in Chengdu, to show the quality and the characteristics of the local culture in Chengdu, and to describe the essence of the local culture of Chengdu. This is the project, which brings back the thousand-year old culture of Chengdu, which helps people reminiscence about these cultural deposits.

Negotiated

Chen Ann Tan Supervisor: A/Prof. Roland Snooks

The presence of dialectic conflicts has always been troubling for cross-agency thinking in architectural design processes. All too often behind the shimmering veil of algorithmic and generative design techniques lies a sense of anxiety that the processes risk being isolated from other agencies of design methodology, prompting most digital designs to compromise part of the generative outcome to what is deemed required to establish validity in the face of most other “norms” of architectural existence.

Spatial Topological Negotiation Process

This project aims to reveal a kind of possibility for negotiating and mitigating the anxiety of cross domain thinking expectations. In this instance, the project aspires to synthesise the intended spatial and textural nuances drawn from an understanding of the previous and existing building’s architecture to negotiate with the directly modelled and algorithmically generated forms. Utilising a type of machine learning algorithm which redraws a given geometry into other preferred stylistic input logics, the project responds to the existing Storey Hall and its Annexe Building. It does not directly react against ARM Architecture’s proposal but rather resorts to the site’s extensive historical background and architectural richness to test the process’s capacity to negotiate between the past, the desired, and the expected.

Performative Pragmatism

Brian Chia Supervisor: Ton Vu

The proposal began with a consideration of the idea of â&#x20AC;&#x153;performanceâ&#x20AC;? within architecture. Focusing on two key aspects: Performance as a Theatre (The Experiential) and Performance as a Machine (The Functional). The project site involves the existing multi-storey car park along Bourke Street and Hardware Lane. The proposal addresses accessibility in the city with a focus on low-vision individuals. It weaves a mobility and daily-living skills training centre into the existing city fabric, which is integrated with a secondary program of an orchestral music school. In doing so, a public plaza is also created re-establishing a connection to existing laneways around the site that were blocked off prior to the proposal. It encourages interaction between lowvision individuals and the general public which highlights their ability for independence, not their shortcomings. The proposal ultimately utilises the idea of performance as a theatre to address issues of universal access. Using low-vision training programs to split a previously inaccessible urban mass, which in turn restores access to the surrounding site context for the general public.

Nandana Dermawan Supervisor: Ton Vu

This major project seeks to delve into and unpack the issue of waste management in modern Australia. What actually happens to our rubbish and recycling as we close the lid on our wheelie bins, never to see it again? Located in an abandoned ex-landfill site in Box Hill, the project proposes a new typology of waste management through a modification of the waste-to-energy model. One that seeks to form a symbiotic relationship of inputs and outputs found through the additive combination of a vertical farming program and public amenities. It attempts to deal with the ‘Not In My Backyard’ attitude towards waste management,while at once questioning the quandary of the pockets of empty land left over by closed landfills and the reluctance to change and adapt to newer models of waste management. Through encouraging people to take ownership of, and realise, the value of waste as a resource rather than an inconvenience - a loop is introduced into the conventional thinking around waste. Where it is usually thought of as the end of a product’s life cycle, ‘Get Wasted’ showcases how waste can be transformed, catalysing the creation of something new and good. The ambition of the project is not only to provide an alternative solution to the growing waste problem in Australia; but also, ultimately aiming to alter the public’s perspective on waste.

Space or Place

Justin Chan Supervisor: Patrick Macasaet

Rapid population growth has brought unprecedented planning challenges to Melbourne. In the face of continuing pressure to allow urban dispersal, the issue is how we can build vibrant livable neighborhoods in the outer suburbs. The Rockbank Precinct was studied. Livability hinges not only on what programs are provided but how they are organized spatially and temporally. A “space” can acquire meaningful specificity to become a “place” only if the public can freely contribute their collective creativity. Then, as an urban context is acted upon by a set of “ever-changing forces that are naturally ambiguous and unpredictable”, for any urban design to maintain long-term relevance, it must have the capacity to reply to programmatic changes. The government’s top-down planning policies run counter to these flexibility principles; it is overly prescriptive and tends to define the specific design outcome. The orthodox planning model with a town centre in the middle and discrete specific activity zones packed around it is a derivative of hierarchical and segregated spatial distribution that will bring about a progressive fragmentation of the urban infrastructure leading to “individuation” of urbanity in the long-run. When dealing with programmatic indeterminacy, the focus should be on developing a generative design process rather than the product itself. The project adopts a bottom-up strategic design approach, a performative framework is structured upon the concept of “type”, modelling on the airport terminal building typology. A process-based design approach is then used to transform and hybridize the primary model to produce endless permutations.

Possible Futures

Matt Beanland Supervisor: Prof. Alisa Andrasek

Modern architectural design’s reliance on commonly used digital formats inherently removes itself from the built reality. In the void of 3D modelling software, separated from context and tied to a two-dimensional form of representation, designs lack the ability to properly convey the spatial qualities and the materiality they will possess after construction. ‘Possible Futures’ takes a holistic approach to the design process, by integrating design with construction in the context driven three-dimensional medium of Mixed Reality. ‘Possible Futures’ proposes a new architectural methodology based on the live iterative testing of potential built outcomes, conversion of digital design directly to holographic construction guides, and the additive production of complex spatial timber structures over time. Featuring an accessible interface in Mixed Reality, design becomes a physical interaction with the site. Defining spatial boundaries, formations, and textures of discreet timber elements deployed through pre-specified generative algorithms. Design becomes about the spatial quality of the resulting structure as it is perceived at 1:1 scale on site through Mixed Reality, or through its as-built form which in turn is integrated back into the digital process to be added upon.

Nesting the Culture

Wenhao Ding Supervisor: Brent Allpress

The project explores the over commercialized CBD against the loss of the traditional embroidery industry in Suzhou, China. Embroidery communities once existed along Guanqian Street. The street captured moments when artisans were stitching works and hanging out with friends. The ordinary situation was then taken over by commercialized developments, opening a new chapter. Urban developments caused huge expansions of retails and tourists while at the same time marginalizing traditional embroidery cultures and local communities. The site sits along Guanqian Street and is opposite to a temple square. The project aims to recall the embroidery community and bring marginal culture back to this civic and touristic space. It emphasizes the gradation of scales by redefining different street conditions on the chosen site. In the design, existing laneways and squares are converted into physical volumes to re-activate passages and circulation, while at the same time driving new programs and connections. The choice to use frame structures and glazed materials allows transparency of activities and highlights artisansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; practices inside the building.

SITE ADDITION

SITE DISPOSITION BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL, RAILWAY ARTERIES AND SMALL SCALE RESIDENTIAL AREA OF NORTH MELBOURNE

The site’s disposition is within a broader street gesture of the Weston Milling Silos Complex. Larger gestures within the site address the residential adjacency through a horizontal gesture, grounding itself by assuming a weight through the largely inarticulate facade against the large neighbouring silos. The operative industrial interface that drew trucks within the building and beneath the existing silos is retained for the interchange, storage and preparation of artwork beneath the silos. The retained silos remain unoccupied but are punctuated at ground level and above to retain their monolithic appearance from afar yet contrast this reading through the punctuations that reveal the relative thinness of their walls. Precedent analysis is utilised as a means for cataloging different attitudes towards hierarchy and how they manifest across scales. Interventions are in the form of volumetric junctions, thus demanding analysis through plan, section, views and physical modelling.

The project explores a method or attitude to architectural design processes whereby internalised logic is premised by a rigid and pragmatic planning of program. The project investigates the relationships and sequence of spaces and programs to inform a hierarchy in architectural articulation. Exhibition, workshop and the receiving, storage and exhibition preparation spaces are in a state of flux during the design process where impacts and reverberations are distilled to imply the relationship between adjacent realms.

Prosperity brought by Dragon Zhuxi Yao Supervisor: Peter Bickle

My proposal begins with the slum I found when I accompanied my aunt to Beijing Cancer Hospital for treatment. Away from home, people living in this slum have to suffer from the treatment, isolation from the outside world, horrible living conditions and homesickness. Instead of an isolated place they are more willing to live in a place where they can have a strong connection with their neighbours, just like how they did in their villages. Why should we stay quiet and stagnant when we get sick? Is a life in a serene sanatorium a really good choice for cancer patients? Engaging with social activities will actually give patients a sense of belonging, not just staying there forgotten by society. From this concern, this project experiments with the feasibility of a hybrid typology combing housing, market and temple. It is challenging the existing healthcare building typology, trying to bring back the traditional poetic pastoral rural life which has long been lost in the modern Chinese urban context. It does this through investigations into interesting forms and objects that recall the memories of Chinese rural areas.

Located on the existing Southern Cross north rail corridor between the CBD and Docklands, the project is a highdensity urban estate model with no transit infrastructure. To give the residents interest in walking and exploring their public spaces, my idea is to operate against the homogeneity of the service levels in the traditional modernist apartments. The public service units such as libraries, retail, parks and gym spaces will present a hybrid layout that combines vertical and horizontal. The purpose of this idea is to reduce the average distance

The facade is clad with a rectangular array of plates, coloured in a palette of four muted colours that complement the adjacent Docklands stadium and graded in a heat-map pattern to accentuate their non-homogeneity. The faĂ§ade in the cave shaped shopping centre is inspired by military camouflage patterns. I hope that this building will blur its boundaries and structure and give people an unknown and accessible feeling. This building will be able to attract people on both sides.

Caviar Sky

Ekaterina Bondareva Supervisor: Ian Nazareth

The Caviar Sky is a floating community in Scarborough Shoal based on aquaculture in a form of sturgeon and caviar farming. To attract new residents, the community uses blockchain technology for fish farming to make the process more transparent. Anyone can come to community on a houseboat, buy a fishing pen and start a fish farming business. The community develops tourism and encourages visitors to come and observe their unique way of living. The community consists of flux forms such as houseboats, pens and five static elements, buildings/ sheds where their form is based on exploded Platonic solids. They are: terminal, “fish and chippery”, parliament, church and hotel. This project is a speculation about utopian liberal communities, and about the points where architecture and urbanism can form relationships between food supply and geopolitics. The latest Scarborough Shoal standoff in the South China Sea showed one of the examples of literal geopolitical conflict. So, in my project I aimed to investigate how the creation of a donut hole in the middle of disputed waters can influence geopolitics. Whether the self-consistent community can provide enough food supply by producing and selling fish and caviar to rest of the world. How architecture can play a key role in shaping world’s relationships in order to stop military resistance and potential war actions between China and the Philippines.

As a means to bridge the digital presence of the city with its physical one, spatial data captured from the City of Melbourne’s planning website was utilized as the input for an algorithmic process. The objective of the algorithm was to create a self-organizing network that enables innovation nodes to grow, thus establishing an emergent order that challenges the Hoddle Grid. Through the algorithm, each node is guaranteed optimal access to public amenity and industry support as well as other pre-existing programs. An elevated plane is raised to produce a series of interconnected pedestrian walk ways, thus reinstating public amenity while fostering symbiotic relationships between established industry and infantile industry. With the introduction of this foreign parasitic form, the city is seen as an interconnected

Response to city fabric

New industry

As innovation in the fields of computer science and artificial intelligence continue at an exponential rate, technology is simultaneously irrevocably changing the way we live and work. This project seeks to interrogate these factors as catalysts for change in the way we design architecture for the workplace. ‘Hidden in Plane Sight’ breaks away from the restrictive nature of the Innovation District and instead attempts to create architecture that garners innovation in a much more opportunistic and decentralized way.

The 1864 image of the MCG shows not only the game and the football field but also a detailed depiction of the audience which is worth studying further. Any sports activity is accompanied by human social communication. Sports venues are crucial places to provide and stimulate social interaction. The essentials of a sports precinct are to stimulate new interpersonal relationships and communication behaviours so that citizens are given new roles; from observers to participants, from passing through to exploration. The oval at Arden Street is a place rich with memories for the city. It was important to see that the new urban project, which aims for a complete overhaul of functions and landscape in this part of North Melbourne, should not efface the landmark status and sporting connotations attached to it. It can be interpreted as a cross-road connecting the infrastructure of several neighbourhoods and can also be understood as a diverse community leisure centre. The current entrances and exits are expanded. The entire building is fully lifted. So, the roof of this sports bridge is an undulating shape, the closest to the oval is the cycling track, the farthest is the runway and the height difference between the two lines just builds the stands. The aim is to provide the possibilities of rich social behaviour, stay, walk, observe, run, talk and more. The original gas building casted a huge shadow. The shape of the roof mimics the effect of this light and shadow. Materials such as steel and iron panels reflecting the surrounding nature sceneries and concrete flooring will be an indicator of the industrial history of the region. The goal is to give both sports participants and spectators a dynamic feeling by creating a building where as many people as possible could be seen exercising at the same time. The new buildings and the oval could be read as various open-air sports tracks and supporting service spaces surrounding the building.

Kathy Then Supervisor: Peter Knight

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Engine Roomâ&#x20AC;? speculates on how adaptive reuse of an iconic building, using architectural forms, could form a new origin point of the city, likened to the room that houses a shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main source of power. The General Post Office used as a point of reference for the measure of distances from the centre of Melbourne, coordinates [0, 0, 0], becomes the testing ground. It is a speculation on an architectural future through a design methodology. The building becomes a living machine, an engine, a clockwork, a factory, or a ship; which glows from the smithing of tension, time-shifts and lingering memories. The atrium is composed as the main character, the social foyer and the familiar space; one without stratification. In the city that we grew, that shifted so fundamentally, where we have atomized, flown apart, we have lost the capacity to organically create networks. We have often gone for simple answers involving walls, instead of building bridges. This project reimagines itself as the origin point, a revival of the social obtrusion, and the trigger of a nexus. As a prisoner of a life behind walls, my plea is to create a space of coincidental meetings and unplanned conversations.

Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Opera

Mary Spyropoulos Supervisor: Emma Jackson

It is the intent of this project that the use of urban behaviour is a tool or device to generate form which is activated and manipulated through the use of computational process such as scripting and computational sculpting. This design process stems from my interest in complex geometries, urban phenomena and algorithmic processes. My aspiration is that the exploration into the negotiation between the relationship with urban behaviour and computational process will ground computational processes through urban conditions rather than the pre-existing methodologies that computational design stems from. The use of urban behaviour and embedding that data within the use of scripting is imperative in the design process as it gives both the script and the generation of formal outcomes a spatial intelligence which is inherently embedded within the design process from the outset of the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. The program of the opera house and its situation on the site of 1 City Road is a means to test this design process that I am interested in and simply offers the opportunity from which the urban behaviour stems and also allows the design methodology and functional program to further be in tension and negotiate within the design process.

Sports and Recreation Centre in Beijing Zhewen Hou Supervisor: Sean McMahon

In the 40 years of China's reforming and opening up, the city has developed rapidly. More and more people are pouring into big cities to look for opportunities. Many skyscrapers, international sports fields, and exhibition halls are springing up, however, the public sports fields are disappearing. Citizens have to occupy the streets and squares of the city to organize activities. The worst situation is in the capital city, Beijing. Natural land is constantly covered by urban land. However, there are some neglected corners in Beijing, the intersections under the elevated highways. There is some forgotten "nature" quietly lying under the cold concrete roads. My project aims to activate this piece of original land through architecture. Therefore, natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s re-wrapping of the city starts from these intersections. Building is just a catalyst here which is a part of nature. Extending and continuing from the ground to be the landscape of city. Eventually, this sports centre can provide citizens a better and fresher space for sports.

Adaptable Adaptations_ (Kensington Fun Palace) Ben Eddie Supervisor: Damien Thackray

The fixed exterior, or wall to boundary, grows at increasing odds with the indeterminate, ever-evolving interior. Planning initiatives aimed at ‘resilience’ in buildings place architecture in a dilemma of either resilience through longevity versus the resilience of adaptability. This project investigates these two characteristics at play. Perceived ‘ugly ducklings’ possess their own historical, cultural value. A language is observed in the ad hoc. The site within Kensington, currently undergoing adaptivereuse development, fast evolves into a new version of an industrial village. The west end of Arden Street is fast becoming a major axis connecting the village with the creek to the east & residential zone to the west. A footbridge, ramp and gateway will favour pedestrians and cyclists over motorists. A pedestrianisation yet still a fortification. Using the existing sheds, creator/disrupter/repairer spaces, a civic marketplace is curated. Boundaries are blurred, workshops opened and back-of-house forgotten. The streetscape here is treasured as promenade, roller door as portico, door as portal, crossover as forecourt; slab as great hall, the site a piazza, the shed – a people’s palace. The creation of nostalgia occurring once the real meaning is lost in something, whether in buildings typology or our own purpose in the post-work present day, forms part of the projects intention.

‘Delirious New Sunshine’ is an insomniac village contained within a civic sized snow globe to combat the madness exerted by the insomnia found in contemporary cities. The insomniac village is disguised as a hybrid transport hub designed as a contemporary airport, rail, port and space port. Airports are now being designed as super plazas driven by consumer psychology causing the citizens to go mad. To insulate themselves, the civic insomniacs deploy methods of conceptual cloning as a tactical method

to spy on the mass psychosis generated by consumer retail psychology. Using the confetti condition from the parasitic nature of Melbourne Central Station transplanted into Sunshine, a fake truth is created to relieve them of the anxiety created by these radiant cities. The driving force behind this proposition is motivated by the urge to expose and eclipse the nature of the mass psychosis of insomnia in contemporary cities. The focus is placed on the civic recall of memories contributing to the civic souvenir, hoping to provide resilience for the future civic insomniacs. The civic insomniacs who enter this snow globe are cleared and have realised the effects of contemporary cities. Rethinking their consumer environments and their psychology paving a way for a more resilient society.

Hutong Vibrancy

The project focuses on the Hutong area (BAITASI) in the centre of Beijing. The idea has developed in response to what I observed in the Hutong district. The hutong has lots of historical and social value for Beijing and for China. However, currently, parts of Hutong are undertreated. It used to be individual things, but now it is the low-social community groups that share these Hutongs. Starting from 2017, due to a beautification project by the city authorities in Beijing, these low-end groups of people will be removed from the central area Site Location

of Beijing and taken back to their hometown. I think this kind of urban development is a shame. In addition to this, there is a really interesting site in here, which is called the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Socialist Buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. My proposition is to create opportunities to re-use this building and place a vertical Hutong in it. The challenge is how to merge these two models which are so different, one is a modernist model and the other one is the vernacular model, and how to put them together to create a vibrant community for these people to survive in Beijing.

Stupafication

Megha Nagaraj Supervisor: Emma Jackson

I often find myself wondering what the future of towns and cities in developing countries is. Some of them are undergoing a relentless erosion of their own unique cultural identities by the intrusion of alien, possibly sophisticated, but perhaps only exploitative, architectural ventures. Places that were once exotic and unique suffer at the brink of vanishing in their entirety. This Major Project is my investigation into preventing the cities and towns of the world from behaving and feeling the same. It is simply the prevention of the Same. The project uses Land and Culture as medium for delivering Architecture in countries that are struggling to find their expression. The approach is considerate of the place, the people and the past. This architectural investigation is an exploration of designing a primary school in the region that helps to reconnect the younger generation to their traditional belief systems. If animals, humans and Gods can live within the walls of the same house, why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they do so in a school?

Communal Abstract

Rouhullah Karimi Supervisor: Peter Bickle

This project is a suburban multi-use football stadium for Team 11. With ten clubs currently in the A-League, Team 11 is the name of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid to bring the eleventh club to South-East Melbourne. Team 11 is a joint venture of the City of Greater Dandenong, the City of Casey, and Cardinia Shire Council. It is located on Cheltenham Road outside Dandenong Station. This project explores the idea of generating architectural buildings from abstract paintings. It is about demonstrating how paintings can be created as architecture. The underpinning of this project is a process that has been referenced from Kazimir Malevichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Suprematist paintings, which are then transformed into architecture. Abstract elements from the paintings are literally translated into rooms, circulation, structure, services and floor patterns. These paintings focus on the investigation of pure geometric forms such as squares, triangles and circles, as well as their relationships to each other within the pictorial frame. This project integrates these different programs into a new dynamism. It uses these techniques to go beyond the current generic or literal form of the stadium, embodying the irrational qualities of painting where architectural elements vary in size, form and volume.

The project is a proposed mixed-use typology for a potential community center within the government proposed Arden-Macaulay urban renewal precinct. The purpose of the project is to revalue a section of the Moonee Ponds Creek that had been despoiled under the imposition of rapid urbanization. Since the creek meanders through the center of Arden-Macaulay, the project is intended to serve as a catalyst for a new type of edge condition for developments adjacent to the creek but, at the same time, are unable to connect with it due to the conditions of the site. The process is inspired and informed by the historic geological and ecological conditions of the Moonee Ponds Creek. It is based upon speculations of what the creek and its environs looked like pre-settlement and forms a bias towards what the urban environment should be like in the future, particularly potential developments within this proposed precinct.

FORM GENERATION

In the past seven years over 6.3 million people have migrated to Australia, with Melbourne holding the vast majority of these immigrants. Upon arrival, census data shows that immigrants tend to locate themselves in suburbs that act as a gateway to where they came from. Suburbs where immigrants have made an impact on the urban fabric, making it feel like home. An example of this can be seen in Dandenong Market, where they pride themselves on being a melting pot of cultures. “Dandy Market” is a hybrid typology of market place and community centre that aims to absorb the current services of a market as well as the program of a community centre. The organic undulating roof that envelopes the building activates the street edge, forms queues for flexible program and allows the user to have a varied experience through the market. New programs located on the first floor include a library, community centre, a childcare, a community garden, and a multipurpose hall. People travel from far and wide to experience different cultures, “Dandy Market” is a one stop shop for new immigrants as well as a destination for people to celebrate and embrace the different cultures that Dandenong has to offer.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Go to the Periphery

Mengchen Jiang Supervisor: Vicky Lam

The thesis for this project is bringing the culture from the city to the periphery. The chosen site is the John Darling and Son Flour Factory, adjacent to Albion Station, and the main parts have been abandoned. The multicultural environment around the site is quite interesting. There is: a Turkish Community Centre, a Chinese Buddhist Meditation Centre, a War Homes Estate, a training institute, a Music and Dance Community, a Vietnamese Church, a City Club and a Maltese Culture Association. To activate this abandoned site, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to amplify the cultural conditions by relocating some of the programs in the site. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left will be provided a specific connection in order to attract the community leaking into the site. Firstly, patterns of modern irrigation are spread on the ground at different scales to differentiate various areas. Then the factory condition is expanded, and some subtraction and addition between the silo condition and the patterns is made to claim the spaces for different programs. Considering the special history of the factory, the brick building will be reserved and renovated for the administration of the NGV archive. However, the ground floor has been cut through to activate more possibilities for the circulation. Because of the special traits of the silo such as its iconic height and inaccessibility, it becomes the archive of the NGV. At the same time, a new gallery is extruded from the patterns which will exhibit some exotic art works. The gallery is supposed to provide more opportunities for foreign artists and visitors who want to be familiar with foreign culture.

Merged Cities for Migrants Zheng Wang Supervisor: Vicky Lam

This project proposes a different new lifestyle for migrants living in Shen Zhen and It reflects the image of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyle in Shenzhen. The project recreates and merges unique elements of Melbourne and applies them to the site in Shenzhen. By recreating moments of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifestyle, this project aims to disrupt and intervene in the lifestyle in Shenzhen. The different floors of Melbourne Central and the giant lobby of the State Library were picked as elements to be recreated and combined to form the draft plan of this project. Based on this plan, the architecture was created according to the narrative drawing. Visitors should follow a certain rule to step into this architecture. The first is about the Shenzhen part that consists of several separated buildings. It seems as if people experience a mini scale city when they walk into this architecture. From the supermarket to the huge gate that consists of the office tower and apartment tower. Going through the supergate way, humans will experience the image of Melbourne culture reflected via the similar architecture form and cultural programs. People will experience the merged cities through the superpipe shaped circulation.

Home Away From Home

Karyn Wong Supervisor: Vicky Lam

This project investigates how landform architecture can invoke human sensory reactions and perceptions towards spatial habitations within the orthogonal city. It explores the peculiar volcanic landforms of Victoria, the Organ Pipes and the Hanging Rock, which became a place of congregation and a place of mental respite for Indigenous communities. Hence, the project aims to bring in the traditional ritualistic notion of mental well-being and community engagement by Indigenous Australians into the CBD. A series of experiments were tested to create unique spatial qualities through abstraction and amalgamation on the solids and voids of these rock structures within a confined boundary which in turn acted as a catalyst to develop, regulate and impose onto the design. The qualities of ambiguity and transparency enter the tectonic expression of landform architecture which helps to generate particular human experiences of physical construction, topography and landscape. This is a place of respite where people could come together and feel as though they are divorced from the city within the city through new forms of spatial experiences that activate various ways of learning, interacting, communicating, encouraging wellness and dwelling amongst international students.

My project is focusing on the new mixed-use tower of the nature city, and considering how architecture will be as a whole society. I propose a tower that is a framework for a new vertical city. Containing roadways, open plazas andsmallparks; the nature and function of the ‘tower’ is to provide unlimited potential for new urban and vertical environments. The ‘housing tower’ must address both the larger issues of identity and the smaller, more personal-scale issues of dwelling and living. This structural framework design allows the architecture within the tower to develop over time, creating a dynamic composition of vertical neighbourhoods that grow around and into one another. The street is continued up from the ground plane, weaving throughout the entire tower literally connecting all the residents and the different areas. No longer a foreign living container, the tower is a dynamic place consisting of plazas, parks and communities that work together to create a living and intriguing community habitat.

Reminiscence

Anna Lee Supervisor: Patrick Macasaet

‘Reminiscence’ is a speculative project which asks: “What if commercial living towers incorporated technological, manufacturing and other industrial typologies?” With the growth of high rise towers increasing exponentially, the designs of these towers have remained similar throughout the years. The project puts forth an alternative model of living and draws inspiration from historically significant buildings in its surroundings. Using the Beulah competition site, the project aspires to challenge large commercial towers built for luxurious living and instead poses an alternative living model where living, work and learning have a more symbiotic relationship. The project investigates the historicity of the industrial revolution, focusing on their innovative and economical contribution to our cities. We may have misunderstood it for being a source of pollution and waste while it plays an important role in the growth of the city. Significant buildings near the site were used as strategic gestures which remind users of the importance of innovation. Using a procedural methodology, the project establishes new relationships through formal outcomes and “accidental” spaces. The qualities of the industrial are re-imagined into everyday living. Reminiscence tells a story of innovation through the Melbourne lens; it exposes users to industry and technology in the comfort of home while constantly questioning what the future could be.

Cremorne Island

Yufei Huang Supervisor: Peter Knight 07

The notion of this project is to redevelop the heritage malting factory into a social living district. Taking the original entertainment and leisure character of Cremorne Garden (1858) back to this industrial site turns it into a communal living machine. While keeping the condition of the existing architectural hierarchy, binding all the private and public function together and maintaining the circulation that connects the density of the public realm for visitors. Changing the daily situation with various little moments that visitors might experience through the tour,

a continuous drifting happens in all the public spaces with the contrasts of new and old, vast and dense. The main feature of the malting factory is the complex and efficient circulation for people and goods both inside and outside the buildings. To keep this idea, instead of a direct pathway, circulation that can lead people to all the public spaces has been designed. There are more options to travel through the site with this meandering circulation system. Visitors can choose multiple types of circulation to experience a series of scenes. It will provide people continuous and various ways to get into every deep space of this castle of the factory.

Along with the growing population of Chinese people in Australia, aged-care as a problem for old people born in China is become more and more serious. This project aims to create a sense of belonging for these old people born in China, through creating a new type of living structure inspired by Hutong houses in Beijing. In these structures, three generations and families of up to ten people could satisfy their desire to live with the next generation. In this village each house is built with a small business the family members can work in from their own house. These businesses satisfy the living requirements for a multi-generational community. All the house blocks are designed around 600 sqm. This small flexible block will be easy to arrange on the site. Because all the houses are of a similar size and rectangular shape, they are easily arranged side by side and look unified. Hutong village will be a nice living choice for people who want to enjoy living with a big multi-generational family.

Magnificence Meets Mundane Jessica Chi Kwan Wong Supervisor: Peter Knight

‘Magnificence Meets Mundane’ explores the gestures and qualities in architecture that creates the theatrical atmosphere of magnificence and reinterprets the iconography of power. The project analyzes buildings which held a significant place in communities and cities and criticises which elements and qualities are still relevant to us. As a testing ground, a speculative community, E-Gate, has been created on the outskirts of Melbourne’s CBD. Proposing that if the community has one single faith and belief, there is a focus and icon of power in the significant buildings in the community. From there, starting to hypothesize the implications that these buildings have on the suburb’s future development. Taking this central building as holding the most importance, how would the surroundings unfold? Hence, first looking at how that building can be framed. If the building creates the main axis, how does one proceed towards the building? The way it is framed and presented, the moments created by the qualities of light, the symmetry and all the complimentary elements on either side that create that theatrical atmosphere. But then how does dictating this significance fit into our current society? What makes people want to use this area and feel comfortable spending time in this area? What makes this area more mundane? I use the word mundane in the context of faith, in which mundane does not imply a sense or boredom or dullness but is referring to something more secular and of the world, something that is not untouchable, sacred or heavenly.

China's economy has grown rapidly but the number of architects is small and in order to satisfy the rapid urbanization model Chinese architects mostly adopt the copying mode to build large numbers of high-rise buildings. This insane building model, while saving on use of land, improved efficiency, But it is causing the city to lose its space for communication and activity. A lot of traditional cultures disappear which makes the city lose its identity. The traditional village is made up of small houses, so I

re-used the modules to rebuild the village in this area, the modular architecture allows for rapid production and construction. It can also satisfy the needs of China's urbanization and let them be parasitic to the original high-rise residential areas. I simplified the traditional architecture and made it modular. I made the traditional plan of the village form in 3D, using this model to rethink the development of China's urbanization. This crazy idea is actually a way to think about China's rapid urbanization, and it's a starting point to strengthen peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s communication in Chinese cities and preserve the heritage of the city's tradition in order to better take the original identity of the city to the modern city.

According to ABS, 33.2% of Melbourneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents in 2006 were born abroad. However, as a multicultural city, Melbourne has no such diversity of homes and living styles. Most people of multi-cultural background still live in homogeneous social housing or apartments where their lifestyles and socialising opportunities are quite limited. Social housing provides a place where people can live together sharing their different cultural values and ideologies. They also remind us of the communal courtyards where we shared meals and stories and played games together with neighbours. The site is located in Carlton near the Melbourne General Cemetery and VicRoads, Carlton. It started from slum reclamation and experienced gentrification and social mixing, resulting in an isolated island. To solve the problems of underused facilities, homogeneous tenure, absence of threshold between public & private and lack of places for socialising & interaction I proposed several solutions including: Populate the community: Double residents and Threshold Create a bond between neighbours: Identity and Mixing Redefine the community realm: Diversity and Communality Among the proposal, approaches of typologies, thresholds and transformations are used to form spaces.
