Loft studio apartments are clustered around
communal courtyards - a response in part to address the lack of natural light in the warehouse as well as to provide a semi-private retreat for

beyond
transient working and living arrangements. What if there was a model in which start-ups and creatives can fabricate their products then occupy a retail space over a short period to increase exposure to their business? There is an opportunity for a new model of transient retailing that exists between the permanence of a pop-up retail space and a long-term retail lease. FABRICATION WORKSHOP

from the Palmerston St elevation, which connects
learning centre and the rest of the primary school as well as reflecting a coalescence of different age groups. Whilst there is a clear demarcation between the entrances of the ELC and the primary school, the internal program of the ELC bleeds into the rest of the school. This allows for the opportunity to share facilities and resources whilst facilitating a seamless transition from early years education to primary school.

This studio thinks past the dominant ‘white-wall’ art museum model to consider what art museums can be. The museum typology is challenged in three distinct phases of experimental architectural gestures.
S T E P H A N I E C H OY
Phase A: Four galleries are designed to house four specific artworks based on a quote by the artist.
Phase B: Each gallery is housed within four existing art museums.
Phase C: A single research theme is investigated through the design of a fictional site, in which the

four art museums come together.

PHASE C The City Within explores the disjunction between architectural forms and programming by proposing the regulated juxtaposition of programs within typologically neutral architecture. A ‘meaningless’ architecture is developed through the deconstruction of museum into smaller masses. Stripped of symbolism, architectural style and materiality, these masses are reconstructed according to a set of predetermined rules to form a homogeneous array of assemblages. The imposition of programs within these typologically neutral assemblages suggests an inherent opposition between program and architecture. Devoid of any meaning and allusions to programming, the architecture conceals a programmatic madness.
