Faculty of the Built Environment

Professor Alec Tzannes Dean UNSW Built Environment

This year has seen UNSW Built Environment continue to develop as a leading source of knowledge focused on the design, management and construction of the 21st century city. The aspiration of the faculty is to contribute, at the highest level of academic achievement, to the making of valued and sustainable built environments. New research initiatives undertaken in the last twelve months build on the facultyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths concentrating on themes that include sustainable design and development, urban typologies and emergent digital technologies. Each degree program integrates research outcomes to ensure our students are equipped with knowledge of relevance and intellectual skills to enable successful future careers in a global context.

Design, including understanding evidence based design processes, is at the core of many degree programs at UNSW BE. Design is studied at every scale and in the context of achieving in the future, lower carbon industrial products, buildings and cities. Design of enduring cultural value also matters and underpins the intellectual rigor of the curriculum. Student experiences involve interdisciplinary projects to enhance contemporary relevance and utilize the breadth of discipline knowledge available at UNSW BE. This catalogue presents selected projects from our final year students. It reflects the hard work and talents of all involved. On behalf of the faculty I congratulate all the students who have completed their degree program and now become our alumni. We wish you every success in your chosen field of endeavor. In many respects, our relationship is just beginning as we look forward to your ongoing participation in the life of our university through the many events and activities that we undertake to support research and the future generations of built environment graduates.

The ALMOST HOME Exhibition and this accompanying catalogue is the inaugural celebration of the distinctive graduation projects of the 2010 final year students in the Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree. Guided by Course Convenor Associate Professor Harry Margalit students had the choice of two projects to consolidate and advance their architectural design capabilities. Harry Margalit assisted by a team of six design tutors led the Museum of Australian Architecture studio project located at Observatory Hill, Sydney. Esteemed Professor Glenn Murcutt, assisted by academic liaison Dr. Anuradha Chatterjee and a team of six tutors led the Artists in Residence Facility and Theatre studio project located at Trial Bay on the NSW mid north coast. Together, the project leaders, studio tutors and invited guests brought their professional expertise to the studio experience and guided our students architectural design education with their focus, insight, passion and patience.

A distinguishing feature of the Architectural Studies graduation projects presented in this catalogue is attention to medium scale public buildings that play a key role in the production of cultural artefacts, or are concerned with curating, collecting, archiving and displaying cultural aretfacts. Guiding this attention is thoughtful consideration to the interaction of the public building and its setting, whether in a regional or urban environment. The Architectural Studies degree program, with the Bachelor of Architectural Computing and Master of Architecture forms the Architecture Program community at UNSW. The graduation projects represented in this catalogue affirms our distinctive Built Environment studio approach that celebrates the mutuality of studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creative vitality and technical capability in concert with demonstrating the qualities of academic excellence, commitment and community identified with UNSW graduating students of Architecture. Congratulations to the 2010 Architectural Studies Graduand Students on their achievements and best wishes for their future study and contributions to the thoughtful making of our Built Environment.

The work exhibited is the product of ARCH 1302, the final architectural design studio for the Bachelor of Architectural Studies degree. The studio has 2 streams, one urban and one in a location where landscape is a major determinant of the logic and the form of the resulting schemes. We have for some years been more than fortunate to have Glenn Murcutt as director of the latter stream, while the former has been run by significant practitioners and experienced FBE staff. The ARCH1302 studio is framed as a graduating studio, which calls on a wide range of techniques and reasoning for its successful completion. Architecture is a complex business, and the demands of the studio mirror that complexity. In each case the site is demanding, calling for a considered reading of the characteristics of the site that need to be preserved, that can be altered, and that can be enhanced. Judgement, as cultured over the preceding semesters, is critical in making these decisions, thus extending the multi-strand thinking that sustains successful practice. Students’ technical ability, too, is called on to demonstrate their capacity to conceive and then to direct fabrication.

At this stage students are not architects, and a number will use their skills in areas other than architecture. For those who return for the professional degree, their grounding in the tenets of architecture will serve as the basis for further refinement and a deeper investigation of formal and urban issues. The exhibition is a culmination, but it also marks a beginning where individual interests begin to inform personal development, sustaining that great tradition of responsible invention that marks our profession.

Architecture is a complex business, and the demands of the studio mirror that complexity.

Since an early age, the experience of architecture has been intensely felt yet it was not until I started my Bachelor of Architectural studies at UNSW Built Environment that I began to appreciate the capacity of architectural design for making life more meaningful. During my first year at UNSW, a visiting architect metaphorically “parted the long grass” to reveal an intriguing path into the practice of architecture. He spoke about the relationship between natural landscape and buildings, about his experiences with materials of integrity and their bringing together at well-resolved connections, about the horizontality of the sea’s surface and its relationship to his experiences living on the east coast of Australia, about the influencing aspect of winds and the informative signals of clouds. His words still resonate in so many of the things that I experience and enjoy in life and in architectural practice. For me, another highlight at UNSW was the opportunity to work on the construction of the UNSW Solarch building project for a full year with a handful of other equally fortunate architecture students. Beginning to understand how buildings are constructed is an essential requirement for the student of architecture. I was privileged to get this hands-on experience while still a student at UNSW.

In my experience as a student, UNSW Built Environment was distinguished by its emphasis on the engineering aspects of design. Students were able to bring all of their inherent creativity and personal interests into their design experiences, and support this with a sound contribution from formal education, regarding the imperative that buildings must be structurally stable, constructible, operable, adaptable and flexible to changes in use and technology. This sound platform to architectural education is a great basis upon which to evolve further in professional practice. A professional goal of mine when I started out on this career was simply to contribute positively to Australian architecture that is relevant and meaningful. To that end, I have been very fortunate to have been a member of an architectural team that designed a great project that was subsequently awarded the Sir John Sulman Award this year. Beyond this, and like Louis Kahn breaking into stride at a mature age, I optimistically look towards a future with many built projects that positively interpret their briefs and contexts to produce buildings of long lasting meaning and identity to the people who will come into contact with them.

Museum of Australian Architecture The site is the plug of sandstone within the â&#x20AC;&#x153;corkscrewâ&#x20AC;? of the Cahill Expressway, currently occupied by several educational buildings including Fort Street Primary School. The scenario envisages the school relocating to Barangaroo, freeing up the site for redevelopment. The brief is based on an idea by the architectural writer Philip Drew for a Museum of Australian Architecture, an institution that displays and researches architectural achievement. The program tests a range of abilities and responses. The site is highly visible, yet contains few buildings of distinction. It is part of the Observatory precinct, yet functions as an island due to the cut of the expressway. It is in a recreation precinct, yet is subject to the traffic approaching the Harbour Bridge. The proposals need to comment on, or mediate between, these many conditions. The program adds additional complexity. The building hosts exhibitions, talks and archives. Some are used by day, some at night. Parts of the building are accessible to the general public, parts to specialised researchers or staff. There is an entry side but the building is always seen in the round. The proposals on exhibition show that this complexity can be dealt with in many ways, sustained and structured by ideas that reflect individual readings and experiences.

The MoAA must be iconic and relevant to its culture and civilization. The Australian civilization is constantly evolving, therefore the MoAA must express the idea of evolution through its form and materials. The MoAA must also offer a great architectural journey through a circulation that evolves through space.

Architectural Studies Glen Murcutt

Trial Bay Artists in Residence Facility and Theatre “I cannot imagine any desirable view of the future than an ecologically adapted form of life where architecture returns to early Functionalist ideas derived from biology. Architecture will again take root in its cultural and regional soil. This architecture could be called Ecological Functionalism...this view implies a paradoxical task for architecture. It must become more primitive in terms of meeting the most fundamental human needs with an economy of expression and mediating man’s relationship with the world...more sophisticated in the sense of adapting to the cyclic systems of nature in terms of recycling and responsibility exceeding the scope of life. It also seems that the architect’s role between the polarities of craft and art has to be redefined... After decades of affluence and abundance, architecture is likely to return to the aesthetics of necessity in which elements of metaphorical expression and practical craft can fuse into each other again; utility and beauty again united”. Source: Juhani Pallasmaa, “From Metaphorical to Ecological Functionalism”, - Architectural Review 6 (1993): 74. Framed by an ecological functionalist view of architecture as articulated the Finnish architect and theorist Juhani Pallasmaa, the Glenn Murcutt studio takes on the approach of an architecture of response as opposed to an architecture of imposition, proposing an architectural project for a public building involving an Artists in Residence Facility and Theatre located at Trial Bay on the NSW mid-north coast. The studio emphasizes place, technology, culture, and environment as multiple and co-existent criteria that inform the architectural thinking and investigation.

Dealing with this very predominant jail, my approach is aiming to create a new layer of fabric upon the old, a light touch to the existing obsolete solid stone. By putting the additional structure aligning with the old linear wall, but being slightly kept away, there is a strong correspondence between the buildings constructed in different age. At some points, inserting circulations across some cell rooms, to make artists who live in the residents move in between the old and new fabrics, therefore, boundaries are blurred, and the contrast of these two fabrics is maximized. The theatre sets apart the public and private; it is strategically located and conformed. The wall of north wing jail is used as the back drop of the stage, also, gives a strong sense of the connection with the new and old.

The intention of the design is to build new structures interweaving with old ones, which not only connects the programs together but also create new relationships between inside and outside.

Touch the Building Lightly With full respect to the richness and diversity of culture and history, the design strategy to the existing site Trial Bay Gaol is aim to adapt its identity and express its local nature, therefore pursuing an architectural scheme that is in keeping with its place of origin and integrating with sustainable development for artists’ use. Trying to touch the heritage Gaol lightly, only the necessary programs are attached to the building with minimal additional structure touching the existing. “Living material” like timber and copper are chosen. As the weather changing and time passing by, the new and existing will be integrated together to become part of each other.

The Trial Bay Gaol artist-in-residence and gallery, taps into memory in a clash of landscape, history and mythic space. The architecture activates an oscillating interplay between “real” lived space and “half-remembered” surreal space, generating new landscapes and experiences in the ruins of the gaol.

The design concept for this Artists in Residence project at Trial Bay Gaol is to use wall, which echo the existing gaol wall, to define the space instead of occupying it. The space created by wall functions as gallery space, and it connecting artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; private space within the cellblocks and public space that projecting out from wall to the landscape.

Presence of light is the fundamental concept of the transformation of Trial Bay Gaol. The prison Cell Gallery is organized in interlocking light sections where each gallery is individuated through its specific quality of light, between each section is an interval which is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;silenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; creating a sequence that can be contrasted by bodily movement.

As a heritage site, the completion of trial Bay Gaol must reflect its history as well as giving a new statement to the site. By adding new structures which just float above the ruins, the space is given a function, but also maintaining the imperfection quality of the ruins.
