Nebuland A Children’s Hospice
educational institutions are not providing us with the context for curious exploration. “To Learn, Stay Curious, To Stay Alive.” - Jason Silva
Hospice/ palliative care unit has long been regarded as the last chapter of the book of life, how can our built environment help the users to focus on the joy of their journey instead of the grief of their destination?
The project, Nebuland, is therefore a fictional children’s hospice that celebrates curiosity, hedonism and the pursuit of happiness. The building will also serve as an interactive classroom where adults can be reminded of these precious qualities of children that they have perhaps forgotten.
Children are often being associated to the image of pure joy and happiness. Performance philosopher Jason Silva explains that children always experience ecstasy and happiness and that they are continually learning and being conscious about the surrounding, creating new synaptic connections. Referencing Sir Ken Robinson, Silva mentions the sad part of adulthood is the lost of curiosity as our

Futuristic Catch Machining Aesthetic
Futuristic Catch is a future storage and distribution center plus recycling services. It is a project to define future consumerism. Through the investigation of Catch of the Day as the business models. The study of their organization models and operational procedures lead to formulating algorithm, to observe particularly on Catch of the Day’s aggregation behavior and speculating its
business growth potentials. The merging of storage, distribution and recycling will help to perceive the balance between consumerism, environmental friendly and sustainable in profit of the business by studying the consumer’s behavior.

Using elastic strings for showing the concept of bundling effect of wall fragment that we developed before. Also, 3D print robots are added to the model to show the concept of automation and robots. As well as, it is clear to see drones flying in the tunnel space.

Model making process: Spray paint laser cut MDF in horizontal layers, then used twist and lock method to join the vertical stick. The two thick columns showed in the photo, did not only serve as the main structure to hold up the model but they are also the lift cores of the building.

ACADEMIC WORK Street View Perspective Shirley Kwan, MSD M.Arch Sem 2 2016
LX Onion LX Assembled
The location of site is at Lisbon’s ‘Campo das Cebolas’, meaning the ‘Field of Onion’. It is an archaeological site with layers of history and discovery which inspires a rich design concept for a new makers’ community hub on this site. Through the study of balconies collected in Lisbon, balcony emerges as an extension of space but also an architectural element that reveals the threshold between inside and
outside, where this duo-direction of layers creates the form of the building. An infinity loop becomes the operative diagram of the building, both in form and circulation, creating a linear journey for the makers and visitors to explore the building.

ACADEMIC WORK Urban Fabric Axonometric Drawing Shirley Kwan, MSD M.Arch Sem 1 2017
The Veins Melburbs
The Veins to reconnect the fragments of the Melburbs through infrastructures. From a smaller scale of introducing a new type of architecture or landscape to a larger scale of designed block and fabric. This project focuses on creating a livable compact suburbia, and introducing more hybrid urban blocks that contain a mix of programs, habitants,
and public events to achieve the dynamic, exchangeable vibes. Moving towards efficiently integrated transport through reduction in car dependency, while promoting walking, cycling, and the use of public transport as viable and preferable alternatives. Program used: Rhino, Illustrator 22

Apartment Unit Each unit consists at least a 9m square open balcony as to provide a suburban living quality to the residents. Most of them are designed into two levels. The lift lobby of each level is switched from one side of the core to another in consecutive level as to reduce the floor areas that used for lobby. The large lift lobby of 18m square will have sofa and table as a communal space. Some lobbies will be linked to an open shared balcony for the residents to use as a communal space.

PROFESSIONAL WORK Government Project (Educational) Ronald Lu & Partners Ltd. North Point, Hong Kong On going project
Two 30-Classroom Primary Schools
After my Bachelor degree, I went back to Hong Kong for a gap year. I worked in a local medium-size firm and lucky enough to have chance closely work in a project team. Within the 11 months, I worked through different stages of the project, including design development, preparation of statutory submission plans and tender drawings work. As well as, participated in various co-
ordination works and project meetings with the Project Manager and various consultants. While I was working through General Building Plans, I learned a lot of regulations. Although I may not know many Australian codes, I am sure I can learn most of them during work. Programs required: AutoCAD, Photoshop, Powerpoint 30

PROFESSIONAL WORK
Residential Development Ronald Lu & Partners Ltd, Chai Wan Road, Hong Kong
In this project, I was responsible for material seeking. I called supplier for samples and help to do light box mock up. I also helped to prepare material board for presentation with client. In this stage of work, I learned a lot of different specification of glasses, different types of stones that can be used for podium external cladding and various external tiles for towers. Programs required: AutoCAD, Powerpoint

Mixed-Use Development Ronald Lu & Partners Ltd, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong
A schematic design of a mixed-use residential and retail development. I went site inspection with the team, taking a lot of street photos. I also helped to prepare proposal documents including site plans, podium and typical floor plans, section and elevation drawings. I could briefly understand how this stage works and learned how my team leader presented the project to the client. Programs required: AutoCAD, Photoshop, Powerpoint

Grulke House Wolf Architects, Gisborne, Victoria, 2017
In this project, I consult my college on doing a private residential house by using Revit. It is at documentation stage. I helped on modifying the 3D model and documenting drawings for tender used. I was able to learn some of the regulation standards during my work and understand on the construction details while preparing for the drawings. Programs required: Revit

“Physical model�
Melbourne Skyscraper M.Arch Sem 1 2016 This subject allows us to understand more on commercial building, from designing to construction detail. We were able to learn how to start off a proposal for skyscraper with place of core, calculating Gross Floor Area/ Net Lettable Area and structure layout etc. Followed by, the choice of glazing and structure of the envelop. In later semester, we were required to draw out details drawing in particular part of the podium, body and crown. A physical model allowed us to visualize the stability and practicability of the building structure easily.

“Sectional physical model scale 1:200”
MCR Penleigh & Essendon Grammar School B.Env Year 3 Sem 1, 2014 Drawing an axonometric drawing for part of the building by studying the architectural drawings, construction drawings and photos from building site provided by the professionals. The axonometric drawing gave an adequate detail of built elements in real construction process. It is mainly about structural performance and sustainability of the building. As well as building a detail physical model helps understand every part of the building from the foundation to the finishes. It is very important for an architect to identify, intervene on the logics of construction, able to select materials and systems coherently to achieve explicit objectives and also communicate with peers and the community at large concerning construction strategies.
