About me

I am a graduate of the Landscape Architecture honours course at the University of Technology Sydney. I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia, and consider it my home.

I visited much of Greater Sydney by public transport as a child, developing a fascination for trains, buses, and ferries. As this matured with age, the intricacies of the transport network led to an interest in planning through the places the network linked, and the social factors which compose them.

I still carry this interest in transport and planning today, but I found a passion in applying similar logics to spaces. That is, why are our urban spaces the way they are? From the defining social factors like how important a space is to the community, to design factors such as how it’s used, what the climate’s like, the surrounding buildings, and who designed it.

Since the beginning of my formal design education (and probably before), I’ve experienced every place I visit through this lens, whether on a bus, riding my bike, on foot, or through the computer screen. What truly inspires me is experiences which couldn’t be achieved at any other site, and that’s what I strive to accomplish with my design practice.

Urban Reflection

Tiny Forests @ UTS

Jones St, Ultimo, NSW 2021, 3rd Year Studio

As our cities becomes more dense, the available open spaces increase in value. This has led to the conception of the tiny urban forests movement, which involves maximising the ecosystem services of small vacant spaces by planting dense forests using the ‘Miyawaki method’.

‘Urban Reflection’ explores how integration of these tiny forests into our daily lives can help us to connect to others, the land, and ourselves. Distinctive, continuously morphing vegetation serve as landmarks in visitors’ memories, and new forms provoke reflection on one’s own experiences with that plant from another time.

‘Urban Reflection’ maximises these opportunities for reflection, even during short intra-campus trips. Feature trees with striking forms or colours provide memorable landmarks, and grated and decked paths allow physical interaction with fallen flowers, fruit, seeds or leaves.

As visitors tread on droppings or protruding growths, they contribute to breaking down material and returning it to the soil.

UTS Blackfriars Campus UTS Blackfriars Childcare, CB22, CB25, CB26 The concept began as fitting high density forest wherever possible while maintaining the site’s existing form. An Illawarra Flame tree stands at the centre, dropping its bright red flowers once a year. The path is less open allowing deeper immersion and private seating frames the flame tree for reflection, but sight corridors are maintained at The vehicle-traversable portion is located on the west side, where the old curb is flattened to allow emergency vehicle access. A drainage channel marks the street’s previous profile. This evolved into the idea of playing, learning, working and growing in forest to maximise the mental health, as well as thoroughly studied developmental benefits that natural play provides for children. At this point, the idea of forests connecting people with themselves, the world and each other arose as driving concept of the project. The focus turned to the main underutilised courtyard area, the view out from the outdoor play area of the childcare. From there, minor formal changes were made to accomodate infrastructural and shade requirements. UTS Jones St UTS Main Campus Continuing from the concept developed on the Blackfriars Campus, the design began with situating different forest experiences that allowed reflection depending on the restrictions along Jones St. The spaces’ experiential qualities were worked out. Path grating became the main form of interaction with nature utilised for provoking reflection, and was combined with the irregular forms from Court Square Press Courtyard to create private spaces in a public environment for connecting with others or one’s self. The curved seating of The Knoll implemented in locations conudcive of reflection, looking up at varied canopies or building facades.

Thus, a large open space such as Moore Park presents a crucial opportunity to create an ecologically significant habitat. It would also become a place for local and regional visitors to encounter with wild - a unique experience offered nowhere else near Sydney CBD, with a host of accompanying mental health benefits.

From part 1 - 2, the base theme of journey focused down into utilising contrasting ecosystems across the site to provide a variety of wild experiences based on the localised conditions. Introducing multiple ecosystems also raised the idea of improved ecological resilience during climatic events.

Design Concept

To improve ecological function, existing vegetation patches are connected and added uppon to create dense habitat. This not only provides more resources and shelter for wildlife, but also improves on the land’s ecosystem services.

This concept is reinforced by the implementation of 3 distinct, but ecologically and geologically compatible ecosystems. These include current Fig Tree forests, Sclerophyll forest, and Botany Aquifer wetlands. This make the total system more resilient as ecosystems can fill in for each other in changing climatic conditions.

However, all these things do not only serve ecological purposes. They create a wilder park, a place in the city where people can safely immerse in the wild. By exploring the landscape, people are exposed to and learn about the vital role of wild and dense landscapes to maintaining our brilliant biodiversity, as well their place in tackling rapid climate change.

People are exposed to the wild through a series of open areas, which form in clearings in the forest, and are connected by a network of paths. They direct and open journeys through a variety of environments as they traverse the rolling sand dune landscape

A Wild Journey through Moore Park Open & Closed Spaces Thomas Ng 13588052

Despite being a large, urban open space, Moore Park provides minimal public open space, circulation, or ecosystem support. This ia a problem as in the city, minimal area is available already to be dedicated to public open space. As a result, the open spaces that are available are usually people-centric, with minimal support for ecosystems or benefit to the city’s ecosystems services. If people are allowed into these small areas, they Thus, a large open space such as Moore Park presents a crucial opportunity to create an ecologically significant habitat that supports biodiversity, the urban hydrology, and cools and cleans the air. However, the benefits are not limited to the environmental. It would become the closest place to Sydney CBD for local and regional visitors to experience wild, as they 3. Cook+Phillip Park.

Re-Rewilding Moore Park, Part 3

Task Context: 4 person group

Primary design responsibility: ecosystem function & implementation

To reinforce ecological function, 3 contrasting ecosystems are implemented. These include present Fig Tree forests, Sclerophyll forest, and Botany Aquifer wetlands. This makes the total system more resilient as ecosystems can fill in for each other during changing climatic conditions. This also creates a wilder park free of deliberate maintenance - a place in the city where people can become immersed in the wild. By exploring the landscape, people are exposed to the vital role of wild landscapes to maintaining our brilliant biodiversity, as well as their place in tackling rapid climate change.

Vegetation communities are established roughly based on the starting condtions that are most favourable, including sunlight/shade, elevation, gradient, soil, drainage, proximity to water. They are then given the best opportunity to thrive through community involvement in implementing the ‘Miyawaki method’, before semi-mature ecosystems are left to become wild and reach a state of punctuated equilibrium.

Task Context: 3 person group

The north gallery site is 1 of 4 sites facilitating interdisciplinary collaborations between residents, scientists, creatives... by extending the cultural spaces of Lismore towards the river, to make landscape systems visible and to ground culture in the landscape.

Situated on a peninsula adjacent to the disused railway river bridge, the north gallery site consists of a multi-use grassy oval, foreshore area, and gallery building. The oval is reminiscent of Bora Rings in the region, serving as a meeting and ceremonial grounds in a mini forest clearing. Meanwhile, the adjacent building serves as a venue for more formal community and regional events, with a design that opens up to its neighbouring spaces and the flood performance site across Leycester Creek.

The drawings illustrate the site’s performance and program during dry and flooded states, utilising distinct print media.

Personal Weather Stations

Flood Resilience Technologies

Houston, TX, USA

2022, 4th Year Studio

PWS for Flood Prediction

Personal Weather Stations (PWS) can be greatly helpful in predicting floods as they fill in the gaps left by government-owned weather stations. Localised rainfall that isn’t measured can’t be input into flood prediction models, and is said to be a reason why predictions for the 2022 February Northern Rivers floods were so inaccurate.1

Therefore, including PWS data can empower the community by providing more accurate results at the local scale. This case study looks at a paper on flood resilience through crowdsourced rainfall data2, which addresses the barriers to adoption of PWS in several flood-affected U.S. cities. These included flood risk, homeownership rate, and household income.

This map is derived from GIS data from both open source, as well as interpreted published data.

Planting Design

Callan Point, Lilyfield, NSW 2019, 1st Year Botany

The aim of the planting design is to facilitate and enhance current program such as walking and picnicing, based on a sustainable philosophy to minimise maintenance and increase interest as the ecosystem’s form transforms over time. The design utilises the existing spatial conditions to generate 3 zones facilitating different program. This is achieved through moderating line of sight and wind exposure to increase the sense of space and variety.

The site’s north remains as a lawn, leaving an open and flat area. The meadow at the site’s south utilises tall grasses to partially block sight to both the road and other paths, forming meandering pathways through a naturalistic landscape with large seasonal variation generated by the life cycles of flowers and grasses. The site’s centre, landmarked by tall Casuarinas, is enclosed by rushes, creating an enclosed and semiprivate resting area. Also enclosed is a moderate lawn, carpeted by soft grasses which link to the south meadow.

EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS

Site is highly exposed to wind and sun, with the only protection presently along the eastern boundary and a shaded seating area in the centre.

FORESTED CLEARING

Section 1:200 @ A1

Existing Casuarinas provide shelter for existing seating and a seat is placed in a small clearing. Stout Bamboo Grass and Sea Rush create a sense of enclosure and privacy within the sheltered area. Grey Mangroves along the western edge provide shelter from westerly coastal winds, minimising exposure to the north.

EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS

Site is highly exposed to wind and sun, with the only protection presently along the eastern boundary and a shaded seating area in the centre.

Wind mostly blows in from the site’s western and northern boundaries (coastline).

DESIGN INTENT

Callan Park’s barbeque site currently used predominantly as a passthrough for joggers, also attracting the occasional picnicer and dog walker. The aim of the planting design is to facilitate and enhance these activities, using a sustainable philosophy to minimise maintenance and increase interest as the ecosystem’s form transforms over time.

DESIGN

The design utilises the existing conditions to build upon 3 distinct zones tailored to the site’s existing program, as well as to generate new program. This is achieved through controlling line of sight and wind exposure to increase the sense of space.

Urban Forest Shelter

Detailed Design - Project Add-On Jones St, Ultimo, NSW

2021, 3rd Year Construction

Jones St is a pedestriansed street in Ultimo that cuts through the heart of the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) campus, adjacent to the polarising architectures of UTS Central and Building 11.

The reflective mechanisms relevant to the Urban Forest Shelter in the base project include visual and physical contact, where plants soothe visitors, and provide a datum for comparison to its previous states. This includes increased immersion and interaction through porous walkway materials.

The Urban Forest Shelter creates a gathering and reflection space outside the UTS Central Jones St entrance, mediating the threshold between modernist architecture and the open forest at Jones St’s south. A canopy provides weather protection and a sense of enclosure, grating opens the space to the forest floor, and large, sculpted benches provide the opportunity for both casual seating and lying back to reflect.

grating allows

to become involved in the process of breaking down and returning biomatter to the soil.

larger aperture grating towards the forest edge amplifies the opportunity for interaction with protruding grasses. The location at the base of the sandstone benches allows for these tactile sensory experiences while sitting down or lying back.

The sandstone benches are a solid mass, cool to the touch and isolating occupants from the ground vibrations of the urban environment. Their large, curved form provides casual seating, while also inviting someone sitting at the edge to lie back and reflect. Over time, the sandstone will erode from use, forming another historical datum on the site provoking reflection. Lighting integrated at the benches’ base further reinforce the sense of a casual gathering space, even adjacent to a thoroughfare, after the sun begins to set.

Mechanics of Tides & Quays

Ground as Material, Part 2

Canada Bay Foreshore, Cabarita, NSW 2022, 2nd Year Communications

“things are not active because they are imbued with agency but because of ways in which they are caught up in these currents of the lifeworld...”

This transect depicts an intertidal mudflat experiencing erosion from tidal backflow after a 50 year period.

The agents of the site are activated by regular, mechanical forces, as well as longer term transformative ones which both cause and oppose erosion. After the tide recedes, gravity gradually pulls down water logged in soil behind a quay, generating flow and returning it to the bay.

At the same time, the receding tide also deposits additional sand carried by currents from a neighbouring beach, mitigating longer term material deposition in areas experiencing less backflow. As erosion continues in areas experiencing more flow, channels form and reinforce themselves over time. The complex interplay between these forces and others depicted in the drawings creates a dynamic, contrasting condition of heavily eroded channels and seemingly untouched ground.

Re: Fee Proposal for Cahill Park landscape works

Dear Mr. V. Wichowski

1 2.1 Project Stages

1 5 Additional Services

16-18

Meagher

St Chippendale, NSW 2000 0439 529 089 www.tnla.com.au contact@tnla.com.au

My team and are pleased to have the opportunity to work on Cahill Park’s landscape works, and I am confident we can deliver a one-of-a-kind open space for all members of the community.

We understand that the project requires maintaining the large playing field, including highquality open space and water features for other recreational activities, bushland regeneration, and connecting the space to the neighbouring national park. In addition to these, we have identified several opportunities to further this vision, utilising our team’s expertise.

1.1 Preliminary Opportunities

Due to the specific layout of the site, we propose combining the community garden with native bush foods bleeding out of regenerated bushland, combining formal and informal gardening practices. Combined with signage, this could be integrated with education programs run by Aboriginal elders not only about the bush and the land, but about culture, including the rock art on site. Once again however, we would advise against assumptions that the rock art should be exhibited until after consultation with local Aboriginal elders.

We also see the opportunity to combine water play with the playground and vegetation irrigation systems, involving reusing grey water collected from play areas to benefit the surrounding ecology. Both the above proposals are not only relatively inexpensive to construct, but significantly reduce ongoing costs in gardening, soil management and irrigation. They also form a more integrated project that educates the public by making systems visible.

The following are the project stages and services which we have identified:

1. Research and Concept Design

2. Stakeholder Engagement and Concept Development

3. Development Application Documentation

4. Construction Certificate and Detailed Construction Documentation

1 2.2 Project Fees

The following are lump sum fees for each stage, and are to be paid as each stage is completed. Rates for services provided at each stage are detailed in 2.1 Cost Estimate.

1. $27,780 ($13,780 + $14,000)

2. $27,960

3. $26,100

4. $15,340

*Please note that sums do not include sub consultant fees as quotes have not yet been obtained, or other items detailed in 2.4 Services Excluded under Fee.

1 3 Communication with PCG

1 week (at least 7 days) after project confirmation, a project initiation meeting will be conducted in person with the PCG, our team, and nominated lighting designer and architect to familiarise the project and confirm the brief.

Afterwards, we have allowed for up to 8 shorter online meetings at weekly intervals or as required with the PCG and my team throughout Stage 2 (Stakeholder Engagement and Concept Development).

There will then be an in-person meeting between the PCG and our team, as well as any relevant sub consultants, at the end of each Stage 3 and 4 (Development Application Documentation and Detailed Construction Documentation). During periods in between, we will reply to any emails at contact@tnla.com.au within the business day when possible, and urgent contact can be made to the phone number 0439 529 089.

1 4 Nominated Sub-Consultants

Sydney Outdoor Lighting Design will be working closely with us during all design and documentation phases to ensure design continuity between the landscape and lighting, as well as electrical infrastructure. Although not part of the landscape works brief, we would also highly recommend bringing on James’ Architects with whom we have experience, to work with us on redesigning the aging toilet blocks and other structures to improve their visual continuity with the final landscape if desired.

Other nominated sub-consultants are listed in Section 2.2, including historians from Northside Library, and the Northside Reconciliation Advisory Committee to help advise on cultural contexts. Others listed are consultants we have worked with before to help deliver the necessary documentation for the Development Application and Construction Certificate. We understand TNLA will be the head consultant for this project and coordinating sub-consultants.

After negotiation and fees are finalised, if any additional services are required, they will be charged according to the following fixed rate fees (not including GST):

 Additional drawings (draft) - $1,500 /drawing, or $220/h (whichever is higher)

 Additional drawings (presentation) - $3,000 /drawing, or $280/h (whichever is higher)

 Out of hours calls $220 + $100 /30min

 Additional sub-consultant meetings - $400/h

 Printed drawings – varies upon request

 Physical models (draft) - $200/h

 Physical models (presentation) - $300/h
