PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW AC A DEMIC WORKS This is a concise version of my masters studio works at University of Melbourne (2018-19). These studios range from researchfocused urban design, manifesto, experimentations, to design-focused architecture making. Please contact me for full PDF version of the portfolio. 01 Outpost: The Museum of Rebellious Genes Studio lead by Ariani Anwar and Nick Roberts (John Wardle Architects) Typology: Museum, seed bank, botanists lab Location: Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne. A public facility functions both as a seed reserve and museum, proposing an architectural typology that serves a significant scientific purpose can also be engaging the public interests. 02 Perdue: Credential Court Studio lead by Rennie Liffen and Marijke Davey Typology: Courthouse, food production, public Location: Beirut, Lebanon. A hypothetical and experimental design studio that’s deeply interested in the sensory qualities and the iterative process of architecture. *Drawings were produced using ACAD and Photoshop, InDesign. 3D modelling by Rhino, rendered by Enscape. ** Project 01 Outpost: Images on this page and the bottom image on opposite page. Project 02 Perdue: Top two images on opposite page.

AC A DEMIC WORKS 03 Desire: Student Housing Studio lead by Gumji Kang Typology: Student housing Location: Former Carlton Inn, Carlton This project explores the desire for solitude in the often controversial typology of student accommodation. The design challenges the current low quality student housing design and the hype for more collaboration and less privacy. 04 Thesis (in progress): The Invisible Brunswick, towards a city of social consciousness Studio lead by Katherine Sundermann + Clare Easterbrook-Lamb (MGS Architects) Typology: Urban design, social housing, civic spaces, mixed-use. Location: Brunswick My thesis takes a holistic approach of architecture, urban planning and design. Recognising the fast gentrification of our cities, how can our cities be empowered to effectively take care of the vulnerable? This project puts forward a model of notfor-profit developments on underused institutional lands. *Drawings were produced using ACAD and Photoshop. 3D modelling by Rhino, rendered by Enscape. Model components made by CNC machine, laser cutting and 3D printing.
