DESCRIPTION: Located at the site of the former Cable Tram Engine House in Fitzroy, the proposal involves an institute led and facilitated by its three distinct visual arts academies on site—painting, digital, and textiles. It is a mixed-use building for the site, including art academies, exhibition spaces, shops and other functions that support the institute. The project aims to create a space of collaboration but also welcoming friendly conflict, thus creating a democratic learning environment on the site. Secondly, the project reveals the heritage industrial function of the building in lieu of style, thus redefining the public knowledge of this heritage. Lastly, as the art scrap recycled and flows on the site, individual memories are weaved and new public knowledges are collected and reproduced.

The Italianate style heritage structure on site prompted us to think of heritage in two distinct ways—function and style. The overall architectural style and techtonics was shaped by the dialogue between the robust, ornamental, and constrained heritage style, and a lightweight, industrial, function-driven structure. room, toilet, kitchen & laundryShort-term stay greenhouse Meeting room Activity room Weaving workshop ACADEMY StageStorage& Shared dye Rooftoplab dry room with vent from digital motion capture studio Rooftop greenhouse ACADEMY studio Rooftop garden

DIAGRAMCONCEPTUAL PAINTING
and experienced physical markers define in reality what is notational and legislative. Tangible markers involving fences and roads enable the experience of threshold. Subject to continuous entropic forces which defy legislative demarcation of ownership, they constantly re-negotiate in a push and pull between territories. A contestation. Domestication is a continuous act of taming and nurturing, perpetuated by human cultivation. Domestication is indicated by demarcation, where the land is specified and quantified. Domestication signifies a claim of ownership, when the unadulterated is transformed to evoke familiarity. Within the site, domestication is the observed and supervised growth of the possessed. The domesticated exists in a constant disjunction with the rural landscape, the rural reclaims the domesticated and the domesticated, the rural. Challenging perceptions of domestication as boundless.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project rethinks the idea of rural and contemporary domesticity. The rural emerges within a perceivably infinite expanse. The process of domestication, quantification and ownership of rural land dispels the illusions of distance and scale. The seemingly boundless becomes allotted: finite; bounded; defined; and labeled as a Approximate“lot”.

Programs are engaged to adapt the site topography and create fluid access that draws circulation towards the river. While people are moving closer to the water, their visual connection is prioritised to the design intervention as a way of engaging with the site and participating in the community.

It is made of intersecting horizontal timber platforms and vertical glass supporters. Horizontal pieces are emphasized while vertical pieces are hidden to provide a sense of floating. The glass allows natural light to pour in and also serves as a building shell. perspective1: quartet time 16 17

The vertical supporters and horizontal platforms are thinner at the bottom and thicker at the top. The distance between each two sandwiched supporters gradually becomes shorter towards the top of the structure. These variations give the structure a gradient, making the pavilion appear gradually transparent to solid and providing a sense of protection. octreedispatchdivideremap
The pavilion is of a dome shape which suggests the volume of space underneath and its unique design allows users to climb up the structure to the rooftop.

The parallel horizontal timber pieces act as louvres to allow visual connection and provide privacy between interior and exterior space.
