Acknowledgement of Country

The staff and students would like to show our respect and acknowledge the Bedegal People as the traditional custodians of the lands and waters of this place we now call Kensington.

We acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, past and present, and emerging, and we thank them, and their communities who have shared and practised their teachings.

ARCHEX 2022: IN REAL LIFE

After two years of digital exhibitions I was thrilled we could hold this year’s UNSW Architecture Graduation Exhibition ‘in real life’! The exhibition was aptly named ‘ARCHEX 2022 IRL’; to mark that once again we were able to come together in person to celebrate the fantastic work and achievements of our graduating students.

ARCHEX 2022 IRL was open to the public from the 2nd to the 11th of November 2022 in the awardwinning heritage conversion of the decommissioned Esme Cahill nurses’ quarters, previously part of the South Sydney Hospital. ‘107 Green Square’, as it is affectionately known, is the work of Peter Stutchbury Architecture and Design 5 – Architects and was completed and launched in 2018.

ARCHEX 2022 IRL showcases student design work from the graduation years of our Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees.

The Bachelor’s studio consists of Urban and Regional-based design projects, and this year students in both streams worked on a mixed-use library complex. Even with very different locations – Westmead in suburban Sydney and the town centre of Broken Hill – the shared program made for very stimulating and productive exchanges.

The Master’s studio continued the distinctive nature of UNSW Architecture in offering four design studio streams which provide students the opportunity to build design knowledge and skills in relation to one of the following areas: Housing,

I would like to thank 107 Projects for all the amazing help in staging the 2022 ARCHEX exhibition. We were very fortunate to be able to use this inspiring venue. Thanks also to the exhibition sponsors for your generous support. It is very much appreciated. A big thanks to Dr Cristina Garduño Freeman and the student volunteers who pulled the exhibition together and created such a wonderful environment in which to view the work.

Congratulations to all the graduating students of 2022. You have reason to take great pride in your work and in all you have achieved – the exhibition is clearly testimony to that. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

CELEBRATING!

OPENING NIGHT

In the middle of 2022, the prospect of being able to meet up, connect, and celebrate our graduating students without the was very welcome.

Program Director Paul Hogben and I considered how to make the exhibition a reality as we scouted venues with availability (not many), planned installation logistics (transporting models from UNSW), organised fast turn-around print production (thank you to Cloud Print Group), and completed our COVID risk plans (thankyou Trish Danzey). Eventually, we met Jess Cook, CEO and founder of 107 Projects, and it all fell into place.

Jess was a long-term UNSW collaborator introduced to us by Professor David Sanderson. 107 Projects is an independent that manages and curates inclusive and inspiring places in inner Sydney for creative thinkers to thrive. Jess offered to host the exhibition at the Joynton Avenue Creative Centre aka ‘107 Green Square’ - the awardwinning 2018 heritage conversion of the decommissioned South Sydney Hospital Esme Cahill nurses’ quarters.

Our very own Dr John Gamble spent time there as a child while visiting his older sisters who were training to be nurses!

CELEBRATING!

OPENING NIGHT

Convening ARCHEX is always rewarding. I enjoy working with passionate and dedicated students from our architecture programmes. And organising the exhibition is also an chance to engage with our communities and profession.

‘107 Green Square’ is managed by Josie Stomann. We'd like to thank her for her help. She supported our tight deadlines and connected us with social catering company Plate it Forward and chef Shaun Christie-David (it was delicious!). We were also assisted by the UNSW Design Futures Lab maker team (Nichola Jephcott, Richard Blackwell and Gabriel Undery) who trimmed our panel system and provided advice on, and the rigging of our LED light and sketch installation in the stairwell.

On the 3rd of November 2022 the exhibition team arrived early in the morning to transform 107 Green Square into ARCHEX 2022 IRL. 400 guests were due to arrive for the Opening Night at 5:30 pm. that same day

Kudos goes to our student team – yep that’s you, Unjelique, Tracey, Tailin, Peter, Jacob, Max, Ashrith, Chelsea, Ahine, Caleb, Jasmin,

Su Thet, Louyao, Yazhisai and Milan for the way you tackled a challenging single day installation and enjoyed worked together.

Thanks also to Alvin Zhu, who captured all the ups and downs of the installation and the experiences of our students for our documentary. And to my family (Nick and Izel), who pitched in to help me on the day.

CELEBRATING!

OPENING NIGHT

The adaptive reuse of the Esme Cahill building is the work of Peter Stutchbury Architecture and Design 5 – Architects. They created a three-storey community centre, to provide affordable work spaces for small creative enterprises as part of a commission by the City of Sydney. The heritage conversion of the nurses' quarters includes the addition of a new vaulted verandah structure that signals the courtyard as a welcoming public space, adjacent to a public green lawn, creating a human scale space that acts like a common for the surrounding medium-density residential development.

The exhibition would not have come together without such a fantastic venue and without everyone’s cooperation and enthusiasm on the day.

The energy encapsulated the in-person collaboration our student body had missed over the previous years, and by dusk the crowd was celebrating! With the ideas of the next generation of architects on display in a beautifully restored heritage building, accompanied by music, drinks and grazing tables, all were reminded of the joy such events bring.

OPENING NIGHT

The speeches kicked off with an Acknowledgement of Country by Jess Cook: “Warrama…warrama means welcome in Gadigal tongue”

107 Projects have an ongoing commitment to First Nations peoples and to recognising our interconnectedness with Country. As the profession explores new ways to integrate indigenous knowledge, it was a critical reminder about respectful practise. Jess also noted that “buildings without people are just empty spaces” and thanked the crowd and installation team for “activating every nook and cranny” and “giving this building its heartbeat”.

Our keynote was Alan Croker from Design 5 – Architects. A UNSW graduate, Alan began his studies in 1969 and is now an esteemed professional, both in architecture

combination of “the extraordinary teachers” and his “own passion for what was being taught” that shaped the direction and focus of his career. He described the

sturdy brick nurses’ quarters, with its cellular structure, into an open and friendly creative community centre and events space.

It was the role of Program Director Paul Hogben to warmly congratulate our graduands (both present and overseas) for reaching the end of a long and intense period of study under

OPENING NIGHT

We then heard from each of our graduating cohorts, beginning with John Gamble, the convenor of the Bachelor of Architectural Studies who introduced our esteemed Professors of Practice, Philip Thalis, of Hill Thalis Architecture + Urban Projects and Rachel Neeson of Neeson Murcutt + Neille

Philip is a well-known advocate for the importance of public domain design, social housing and contextually-responsive architecture. He was, in fact, one of my own teachers – and although at the time I did not fully appreciate the extent of what we were learning, I now recognise that sourcing maps and plans from the NSW State Library taught me the value of urban history and its entanglement with politics, culture and progress.

Speaking of Barangaroo, Philip discussed the breadth of knowledge embedded in the practice of architecture: “soil mechanics, engineering, philosophy, anthropology, [architecture] addresses the needs of the population by selecting the forms and the spatial relationships of all future construction in ways that can be public ... we need to speak to connect with society, with the public, to show them through our work and through our advocacy the value of architecture.”

Then Rachel Neeson, a highly regarded architect, addressed the crowd. She spoke of the happiness and relief our cohort was feeling after completing the foundation of their architectural education. Rachel understands the importance of experience, having recently led the award-

winning transformation of the Australian Museum in collaboration with Cox Architecture. She offered advice as graduands enter a transition: “a time to build upon these foundations through the unmediated experience of places, buildings and landscapes, connecting through real life felt experience like we have tonight in this fantastic building.”

UNSW is fortunate to have senior practitioners work with our projects, and each stream creates connections between senior practitioners and the future of the profession around a mutual area of interest. Teaching at UNSW is a relational activity where knowledge is not just shared but exchanged, and Shaowen Wang, convenor of the Master of Architecture Graduation Studios,

along with each of the studio stream leaders and tutors, offered their thoughts about the year just passed.

The High Performance Technology studio was led this year by two notable practitioners; Jonathan Evans, a registered architect, and principal and founder of Arbor.tect, and Dijana Tasevska, Associate Director, of CHROFI. Both Jonathan and Dijana bring knowledge and experience in the design and construction of large-scale commercial buildings utilising pre-fabricated mass timber technology.

OPENING NIGHT

This year’s Housing studio was run by a formidable team of practitioners from COX, one of Australia’s leading architectural practices. Led by Joe Agius and Ramin Jahromi, the studio was supported by Felipe Miranda, Vicente Castro, Helen Kuo and Cristian Rojas. Joe is a UNSW graduate and past President of the NSW Chapter of the AIA. Like Joe, Ramin plays an active role in connecting COX’s Sydney studio with NSW tertiary institutions through the organisation of scholarships, tutoring and guest critic roles.

The Social Agency studio was again led by UNSW Professor David Sanderson, the inaugural Judith Neilson Chair in Architecture. Working with Mark Szczerbicki, a registered architect and founder of boutique practice MSDS, David brings

a wealth of expertise from decades of work within the nongovernment organisation sector across policy, development and emergency programs. A key feature of the Social Agency Studio is the opportunity to work sector, including 107 Projects, to encourage students to develop skills in community engagement and participatory practice.

The Urban Conditions studio was run by UNSW staff members Shaowen Wang and Rafaelle Pernice. Both Shaowen and Rafaelle are experienced architectural design educators who share a passion for urbanism and architecture with a focus on the impact of climate change on waterfront cities in Japan and the

MIXED STUDIO

The studio project required the design of three small dwellings and a kiosk on a lot in Georgina Street, Newtown, adjacent to Hollis Park. The main design task was to develop an architectural proposal that provided the inhabitants with high levels of environmental control by making available a wide range of options across three kinds of human situations – social interactions and separations, activities, and thermal experiences – and that was a positive contribution to the life and built fabric of the site. Three characteristics of the site were studied: topography, the urban fabric and climate. Precedent studies of multi-unit housing projects were a major part of the design investigation.

Seven sets of spatial relationships critical in providing multi-unit housing inhabitants with control over their environments provided

a framework for the investigation of the human situations, the site and the precedents, and for the students’ design developments: the distribution of the major types of spaces of social control – public, communal, household, individual; the distribution of these space types in relation to the larger urban fabric; the distribution of these space types in relation to the topography of the site; the distribution of the space types, the urban fabric and the topography in relation to the sun and prevailing winds; the location of pedestrian and vehicular movements within and between the space types and the site; the opening and closing of the boundaries within and between the space types and the site; the open and closed relationships between shared and individually controlled spaces with each dwelling, and their relationships with the other space types.

We Depend on Connection

Human beings have an innate instinct to seek connections with the natural world, and Hollis Park in Newtown is a space that greatly enables opportunities for such interactions. With the whimsical urban sanctuary serving as a backdrop to the collection of dwellings, moments of respite were strewn throughout, in the form of natural spaces. These provide outlook, guide circulation, and enliven social activities in a manner that mimics the experience of the park itself.

Each dwelling sits at a different level to ensure privacy. These slope to meet at the centre of the site, where a kiosk and public space are further integrated through a community garden and seating area. In weaving both private and public open spaces throughout the dwellings, nature becomes a constant experience. The sight of fallen leaves gliding through the water, the sound of birds calling from above – these are scenes that recall the ‘essence’ of Hollis Park.

Hills to the Horizon

A View Towards the Horizon.

The concept is premised on Hollis Park as a ‘valley’, with all the surrounding buildings turning inwards to create a strong sense of community. The project lots are designed as ‘hills’ to offer a place with a focus towards the horizon and the vast exterior space of the sky.

The brief required the design of three small dwellings and a kiosk on the lot located at 53 and 55 Georgina Street, Newtown. The main design task is to develop an architectural proposal that will support as fully as possible the inhabitants in living well in their interactions with one another and with the physical environment of this particular place.

Drawing on Japanese Culture

Shi Bui House, a Japanese word loosely translated to a particular aesthetic of simple, subtle and unobtrusive beauty, is a multiresidential plot that provides for three separate dwellings and a shared courtyard. Formed through a central perimeter pattern, Shi Bui House subtly encourages social interaction between neighbours that builds relationships and support systems, to decrease isolation and individuality.

Despite the abundance in social interaction, occupants inside the house will still maintain their privacy. This is provided through all the greenery (trees and plants) strategically placed in front of glazing that faces more public areas. This is done to allow sunlight to penetrate into the dwellings whilst still providing privacy. Greenery is also subtle, unobtrusive and will enhance the exterior and interior experience of occupants.

The timber structure of the dwellings further emphasises the lightness and unobtrusive aspect of the dwellings. It creates contrast against the ornamental terrace houses on the site. Timber also provides for better insulation allowing occupants to have more control over their spaces.

This regional city thrived in its mining heyday. Now, Broken Hill is a little quieter; like many cities, large shopping centres on the periphery have pulled life from the city centre. It is a place of extreme heat and cold, frequent strong winds, dust storms, blinding rain and searing sunshine. With high lead levels because of its mining heritage, architecture’s role is conditions.

This studio asks: how can we sustain the urban communities in regional cities?

Students were tasked with designing a new library to be the cornerstone of Broken Hill’s rejuvenation. This typology is fundamentally collective. Libraries have evolved from archives of knowledge to urban living rooms catering to community diversity. Libraries are strategic urban assets that are powerful activators of the public realm. Students learnt to ‘read’ place through its layers, looking for enigmatic relationships between elements – topography and

levels, climate and wall thickness, dust, and landscape to produce architecture that is a response to the city of Broken Hill.

Civic Engagement

The Civic Library encourages social engagement, activates spaces of refuge and encourages gestural and diffused light. The library’s spatial organisation is dictated through a structural grid, inheriting an existing internal skin and creating recreational opportunities for all demographics. Furthermore, the consistency in size and height maintains the urban civic importance.

Diversity from any Direction

The Avenue invites diversity from any direction, via the central walkway connecting Blende Street and Argent Street. A smoothly paved connection ensures everyone, of all levels of mobility, feels welcomed.

The Wilyakali Keeping Place sits at the forefront of the design: acknowledging their importance to the community. The central walkway assists in granting this room its stature by guiding the eye of the visitor towards it’s bold red and rounded walls, which contrast the rest of the building. The walkway is also essential for leading people to the different experiences of the design, transitioning from wide open spaces that are exposed to the elements, to protected interior rooms, and to spaces which lay between interior and exterior, simultaneously providing shelter and connection to the natural environment.

Each of these is critical for providing users with the ability to choose and select spaces that accommodate their personal wants and needs.

Songlines

This concept is inspired by the Indigenous technique of using songlines to remember and pass on knowledge and stories. Songlines are navigational tracks that link position and stories within the landscape. These tracks ground and embed memories and knowledge within the landscape.

Using the concept of songlines, I chose to have the central courtyard as the focal point of the design. The different elevations of the building all have windows that frame moments looking into the courtyard. The only exterior windows are ones that have been strategically positioned to frame the courtyard or to look out onto vistas that were chosen as focal points along the songline. The additional points I wanted to focus on are the load line and the Telstra tower.

As well as using vistas to emphasis focal points, I also have chosen to activate courtyards that have been created by the form. One of the courtyards in the northeast yard on the site is activated to become an art space where local indigenous artists can create exhibitions and installations as well as inviting an artist to redo the artwork painted along the west façade of the existing library.

Connect and Learn!

The proposal for the New Broken Hill Library focuses on the idea of connecting and learning. The new library is designed as a civic, communal and social hub for the local community. Located within the rich landscape of Broken Hill and situated within the centre of the site, the library is accessible, either by foot or vehicle, from the north-west, south-east and south-west.

The structure comprises of a series of stacked circular forms which have been divided between public and private. The forms

symbol of a meeting place has been reimagined as an organic form and spiral circulation path that travels through the building, inviting the user on a journey as they ascend higher into the library. The idea of the library as a physical meeting place is intrinsic to its function as a place to ‘connect and learn’. Connection is further represented through location and structure. The new form connects to the old Charles Rasp Library which houses the library archives and services, whilst the main circular form encircles an existing tree, creating a physical and visible connection to nature that can be seen throughout the library.

Place, Identity, Form Material.

In drawing upon the rich mining history of Broken Hill, this library project aims to speak to the identity of the place and its people through form and materiality. The repetitive language of the bays create a repetition that runs along the site. This gabled, shed-like form evokes a sense of industry and production. Local steel used in the cladding and structure speaks to the identity of Broken Hill as a mining town and also results in local employment opportunities in the construction of this civic building. The portal frame structure is easy to assemble off-site and deliver, which suits the regional nature of the town.

Contrasting the regular, structured repetition of the exterior are the sweeping curves of the interior, which assist in diffusing light to create a comfortable atmosphere. Service spaces have been offset from the main volumes to allow for the organisation of interior spaces to be read from the outside, and also develops a hierarchy of spaces – with the more important ones at the forefront.

Reference to Green Square...

This design proposal aims to diversify the site into more than just a library as outlined by the brief. The strategy developed to meet this criterion is derived from the Green Square Library which generated a public ‘precinct’ by pushing the library space below. However, to shield the ground plane from the harsh Broken Hill

The ground plane’s squares and courtyards are activated by the café, gallery, exhibition space, amphitheatre, stage and visitor

The library is sited inside an enclosing perimeter. Access to the site is provided by intimate passages, as one has to pass through the surrounding civic buildings. Entry to the site can be provided from Blende Street, Argent Street and a smaller side street on the west. The building form is designed so that ‘arms’ greet all directions of the site.

The structural system of the building makes up the internal organisation. Structural columns are offset from the building perimeter, circulation runs between these elements. The central spine of the building acts as the main circulation pathway and gathering areas. The arms that connect to the spine house the designated room programs. Internal spaces are largely open plan,

URBAN STUDIO

Libraries today are popular. Government of all levels and public institutions are building and expanding libraries as important social spaces and civic places. In particular, local libraries are experiencing a resurgence. Libraries are now conceived as more than just places of books and are grouped with other complementary uses to stimulate and serve the community.

This project aims to transform a typical suburban centre by the addition of a grouping of public facilities and new public open spaces. In so doing the project will enrich the architectural character, public domain and cultural life of Westmead, the wider Parramatta/ Cumberland council area and the city as a whole.

Located on Hawkesbury Road,

diagonally across from the Westmead Train Station, the new library complex would comprise a community library, a 250-seat theatrette, exhibition space and new public open space(s). A work of art also needed to be chosen and placed in the library complex.

Students were encouraged to attend a range of public libraries to observe their usage and inspire their thoughts.

In the heart of Westmead a hidden courtyard is nestled in a public library. Granite walls protect the contemplative space from urban noise. Passersby are beckoned into the internal courtyard by an overhanging roof that curves up through the library. The curved roof responds to the orientation of the site, as well as its topography, allowing solar access into the welcoming courtyard. The white ribbon roof appears weightless, seeming to hover above the building on glazed facades, curving through the levels and uniting the building. White steel columns slant outwards to provide shade whilst maintaining the character of a defensive and introverted building. A strong rhythm is established, particularly in the main east façade. Expansive views out to the surrounding streets are facilitated by a glazed cut through the façade which follows the ascension of circulation. As you make your way along the edges of the library, you eventually arrive at your destination: the grand reading room where you are surrounded by knowledge lit from above.

The building follows a centre-perimeter pattern with blocks and landscape as boundaries that surround a central courtyard and open to the main road (Alexandra Avenue), embracing the desirable northern wind to create a sense of arrival. The porosity of the building form is introduced by the large openings. Playing with the level of openness between inside and outside, it maximises natural daylighting and provides a comfortable place for the community to use.

To achieve this, a large public space is located here, cornered by building masses. The organic form of the building masses, as well as the public space, encourage the public to enter the library,

buildings to the north of the site on the other side of the train station will be commercial. Meanwhile areas to the west and south will become dense residential areas. To the east is the development of the new transport hub. To facilitate this change, the design focused on highlighting a hallway between commercial up north and residential down south. The entrance to the theatre and library is combined. As a typical function of a library is to study and socialise, experiences are focused around a ground around this garden. The voids, combined with the roof, enhance the scale and size of the garden. The exhibition connects to the library on the upper levels, to allow for circulation.

Imagined Worlds

In Between Stories, Walls and Dreams is about the amalgamation of erudition and community: through permeability and enclosure; asking what it is to belong to imagined worlds, the city and each other. The library becomes a place for people across diverse cultural and social expressions to gather, share, work and hope.

The programs are divided into two bodies, the larger main library with the smaller theatrette and exhibition, differentiated in appearance by their function. The library’s permeable, doubleskin facade, guides users to circulate around its perimeter and oscillate between books and the city. The theatre/exhibition building has an opaque, double-skin facade, focusing on internal spaces that enhance the arts within. Circulation spirals inwards, with air pockets that oversee the gardens.

The library is no longer an enclosed space as we oscillate and connect between imagined worlds to the real one we live in, characters in our own stories.

When considering the site for the new library, my instant pull was to create connections between the existing public buildings that comprise the hub of the new Westmead development. I chose to link the building to its site context in multiple ways by angling various spaces to ‘speak’ to each other. By creating these intentional views and openings to surrounding civic facilities, the overall energy of the Westmead development is strengthened through a powerful central core that creates a dynamic atmosphere. Passersby are drawn towards the building through an open northern courtyard that faces the train station, metro, university and hospital, creating an alluring access point as well as a desirable outdoor space. A quieter outdoor space on the southern facade connects to the local public school, creating a pleasant and safe environment to hang out with friends whilst waiting to be picked up by a parent.

Symphony Library accommodates spaces for all ages and needs, from an indoor and outdoor library, café, exhibition space, theatrette and even a public courtyard. Located in the heart of Westmead, the orientation of this building was decided by the placement of the impending Sydney Metro West. The library’s U-shape and tiered form allows visual connection from the street, into the building and opens its ‘arms’ to the proposed Sydney Metro, whilst enabling an even spread of sunlight throughout each space.

The library’s name derived from the interpretation of classical orchestrated symphonies, whereby the musical composition is performed in parts, by a full orchestra. Like how a symphony is performed by all persons in an orchestra, the library is inclusive and accessible for everyone to enjoy.

The earth’s atmosphere is warming at an increasingly rapid rate, with the construction and operation of our built environment accounting for around 38% of global carbon emissions. As other sectors, like personal transportation, adapt and transform in recognition of the clear and present danger of global warming, the construction industry will account for an even higher proportion of emissions without a radical and holistic change from the current ‘business-asusual’ methods of construction and operation. So what needs to change, and how?

The Architecture and High Performance Technology graduation studio this year provided an opportunity to challenge and rethink the way that we utilise and recycle resources and energy in our built environment, to not only eliminate the concept of waste, depletion

of non-renewable resources and release of sequestered carbon into the atmosphere. The studio sought to establish new relationships for the built environment, which are aesthetically beautiful, technically robust, and integrated with the natural environment to develop lasting solutions to the current global challenges. Can our buildings of the future be procured to make a positive contribution to the environment?

The studio explored a number of aspects of architectural design, construction, operation and ultimate demolition through the research and design of a UNSW education building of the future – to formulate integrated design principles which will better address our ongoing climate crisis. The site was an area within UNSW’s Kensington lower campus between Fig Tree Lane, Alumni Park and College Walk.

Vision of Future Tertiary Education

The site can be viewed as a combination of multiple layers of history, future planning, materiality, shared spaces and social strengths that can be utilised to drive the architectural response.

One response to this context is to create a place where individuals can engage, learn and build meaningful relationships. But to facilitate tertiary education of the future we must consider the impact of the virtual world on our physical context and how that relates to the broader natural environment.

A vision of future tertiary education that does not have an interface problem and allows the architecture to be the medium through which communities connect. The proposal does not target creating an architectural typology of the future, rather it responds to its context and anticipates the capacity for change over time. Its fundamental program serves the purpose of researching, developing and showcasing technologies that can be integrated in education.

The design responds to the existing typology by creating a civic terrace, publicly accessible and adaptable for various activities. Transition through the building is based on a temporal activity, a connection and exchange of ideas.

of the Future

An Opportunity...

“The best way to predict your future is to create it not from the known, but from the unknown. When you get uncomfortable in the place of the unknown – that’s where the magic happens.”

The mind is a powerful tool in creating the future we want, but it seems as though this is not always tapped into. Our thoughts dictate our choices, interactions, experiences and, most importantly, our lives. Day-by-day we are creating our own reality without being fully conscious. We are stuck. But we are comfortable. So why do we submit to this? What if we saw each day as a new opportunity to grow? To learn? To be better? To experiment? To fail? To face setbacks, but to keep going? The only way we can expand our minds is to allow ourselves to be uncomfortable in the unknown.

“To truly change is to think greater than your environment.” Institutions need to be reconstructed, to encourage exploration, passion and the unknown.

What does this look like?

Living with Neurodiversity

BACoN - [Building for Awareness and Co-existence with Neurodiversity] is a body of research that seeks to explore the design of the built environment as a holistic support framework for autistic students in higher education by recommending and shedding light on holistic disability supports, pedagogical innovations and inclusive design solutions.

By employing high-performance strategies, the proposed student hub envisions a future university environment that considers both ASD-centric and universal design principles to support both autistic students as well as the broader student population.

The proposed student hub is organised around a series of natural environments based on hierarchies in scale and privacy, providing a variety of social mixing spaces to encourage social skill development across all levels. By blurring the distinction between ‘inside’ and ‘outside’, nature and greenery is interwoven throughout the building, which can lead to better educational outcomes for autistic students.

Housing affordability is one of the the health of our nation as it progresses into its new urban future. Macro-economic factors concerning home ownership have resulted in the current housing affordability crisis. This presents built environment professionals with the unique opportunity to come up with alternative housing models that could challenge the status quo.

The Built-To-Rent (BTR) housing model has been touted as a housing tenure that could remedy the housing crisis by providing a viable alternative to the predominant Build-To-Sell (BTS) housing tenure. Unlike BTS housing, BTR housing is a housing tenure that is held in single ownership by a housing provider that has a commercial desire to keep its renters happy. This ensures that its residents

are able to reside in their housing development for longer which

to constantly search for new tenants.

The focus of the Housing graduation studio this year was to interrogate and question the tenure principles attached to BTR housing to come up with an architectural proposition. The site was Precinct 75, an area of approximately 1.5 hectares containing mostly industrial buildings with frontages along Mary and Edith Streets in St Peters, Sydney.

The Central Hub is a mixed-used commercial, retail and residential site in Precinct 75, St Peters. Through a change of levels and stairs throughout the site, movement is encouraged towards the northern social spaces. The site was designed as a place where the whole community can gather, with permeable spaces for temporal events such as weekend markets and live music. A comfortable environment was created through greenery, places of respite, water features, and a separation of social spaces amongst different age groups and residents. A communal park was designed as a passive social space for use by adults; a skatepark with seating was created for teenagers; whilst a childcare centre with a large playground was designed for children and situated away from the apartments and the adults’ communal space to minimise noise. With the target demographic of young families, a separation of space was also designed within the apartments to accommodate for different users’ needs, with a retreat to.

Co-Housing for Single Parent Families

Sydney has no housing type to help single parents and their children. My project is a study on the psychology and relationships of single parenthood seen through the lens of co-housing systems.

Financial and child rearing pressures also mean that for single parents there is very little room for self-care and meaningful connections with other adults. What my scheme attempts to do is reduce social isolation for both parents and children. Children will become active agents in single parenthood and grow up in a normalised environment rather than a ‘broken’ or ‘disfunctional’ family. This will be achieved by exploring the emotional needs of parents and children – communal kitchens, lounges, exercise spaces. Furthermore, exploring multifunctional uses –transforming bedrooms into studies through joinery and strategic architectural design.

Mixed-Use, Build-to-Rent, Co-Housing.

Dadirri draws on how we can target the loneliness endemic in both elderly and younger generations by experimenting with different housing models. This includes a mixed-use, build-to-rent and co-housing scheme which also includes a residential aged care unit to promote the concept of ageing in place.

The project is situated at 75 Mary Street, more commonly investigated and the opportunity to create a 15-minute walkable neighbourhood from St Peters and Sydenham train stations, and the upcoming metro line, was explored.

Precinct 75 is located in St Peters, a suburb in which 87% of the demographic is within the age range of 25 to 60. This means that the older members of this group will transition towards an elderly range. Hence came the inspiration to provide housing for the elderly. Next, younger people were chosen in order to consider ways of connecting generations and where wisdom could be passed down from one generation to the next. The program of spaces is created to promote use by both demographics, cater to the artistic precinct in nearby Newtown, and to become a central hub of rest and play for people of different walks of life.

‘Turn a Blind Eye’

Facing up to Social and Environmental Challenges

It is easier to turn a blind eye to societal and environmental issues than to face them, particularly when they are hidden from view. Turn a Blind Eye aims to provide a pedestal for the issues of ‘waste’, contamination, and housing inaccessibility by parading them in an exposed nature.

St Peters has long been positioned as a backwater to more ‘desirable’ adjacent suburbs; a bypass on the railway line, rather than a destination. The multiple towering, shingled cones

the Brickworks chimneys. In this sense, the architecture itself serves as a mode of connection within the wider suburb; reframing the site as a destination rather than a bypass, and providing a cultural and educational icon within St Peters.

Designed for Key Workers requiring affordable housing close to the CBD, people are treated as key pieces of the ecology which is being restored in my proposal; aiming to address the neglect of renters in Australia and striving for security of tenure. In this sense, Key Workers are reconnected with an otherwise unreachable feat of living close to their place of work.

Sensory Paths to Safety

Multisensory environments, especially scents and tastes, can trigger nostalgia and contentment in people as they are associated with particular moments or places. According to research, the smell of bread is universally accepted as the most pleasant. Therefore, the project title is ‘3 Chimneys Bread Factory’, which serves the community.

Chimneys are used not only for producing bread smells and baking but can also be part of celebration spaces, bakery parks, landmarks, or gathering venues. Steel, bricks, concrete and metals are the primary materials used to convey a factory vibe. Different sizes and shapes of curves along the pathway also evoke a sense of enclosure where people can gather, investigate and explore different things from outside.

A combination of various programs such as community baking, bread exhibitions, celebrations, wheat gardens and bakery parks demonstrate how social inclusion can make society more cohesive.

Community, Relationships, Movement, Play!

This project is located at The National Centre of Indigenous Excellence (NCIE) in Redfern.

The concept of this project is inspired by NCIE and Redfern Youth Centre (RYC). Auntie Margaret, the co-founder of RYC, and the kids centre emerged through the idea of sports and play. Built as an extension of the NCIE, this climbing hub caters to everyone

athletes, children and adults. An outdoor landscaping water park seamlessly weaves into the building that brings parents and children into the space. The movement of the climbing walls is expressed in the internal circulation of the building and through the contours of the roof structure.

The architecture incorporates an inside-outside relationship to establish inclusivity, not only between passersby and climbers but for the entire Redfern community..

A Creative Youth Centre

This project started from a conversation with the Redfern community – Redfern Youth Centre (NCIE). The conversations with Aunty Margaret, the co-founder of Redfern Youth Centre, as well as the kids formed the driving inspiration. Interactions and observations with NCIE led to a design that placed people at the centre of the architecture. The proposal is a creative youth centre, functioning as an additional program to the original sport centre. The design aims to foster conversations through a community dining hall, a series of workshops and outdoor landscape activities. The open planning of this creative youth centre makes the building more porous and welcoming, reinforcing the idea of community architecture. The program creates a series of interactive and fun learning environments that encourage students to learn and grow whilst reinforcing community bonds.

Role-Play Theatre is a creative hub where users freely express themselves; they can be whichever ‘role’ they desire to ‘play’ – a customer at the café, a learner in the lounge, a writer or a director, new ‘roles’ to ‘play’.

From observations gathered from the site, and by sketching human activities, I noticed Redfern Street is the setting for a kind of organised chaos. Everyone has a role at any one moment. We can be a passer-by, a parent, a kid, a judge, a contestant, etc. The human interaction.

Due to a lack of funding, the National Black Theatre in Redfern, struggles, was closed in 1977. I aim to revive the theatre by constructing a performance space within which people are free to play any role they like. The building is the theatre and acting is the medium that bridges the gap between individuals. Role-Play Theatre is created where users can freely express themselves. They can choose to be whichever ‘role’ they wish to ‘play’, or unlock new experiences.

The Common Sense design project includes multi-functional architecture, interior design, signage, natural lighting, art and landscaping to deliver a holistically integrated environment, to create and perceive an inclusive total environment suiting all. The humanitarian concept of this project refers to the social integration and encouragement of independence of disabled people throughout daily life.

The key concept is to create a building that would be inclusive and accessible for all, a place of ambition that would free the assistant and inspire the disabled themselves. Simple and clear straightforward design, multi-functional for all, and minimalism are the key features of the building.

The design approaches wall-less architecture, as one more wall means one more division, one more barrier. There is an everheightened commitment to remove all barriers, we seamlessly fused function, environmental considerations, and high aesthetics into a ‘total environment’ extending from the site to the buildings. All the walls are aligned to the grids, forming a simple, clear, and

the beauty of austere minimalism. There is a mission to promote a fully accessible world for all, to create a multi-sensory space: take enjoyment of the space through the senses.

Connecting the Physical and the Virtual

The project is named ‘Wonderland’; it’s a virtual reality entertainment club located at 107 Projects in Redfern. I designed a virtual world that relies on physical form to enhance the contrast between dull reality and the wonderful virtual world. It is a place that would be open to all the community, allowing people to create their own world or join others, through which they could exchange their stories and emotions, and, in doing so, become a more inclusive community..

Residency for Artists

The studio premise lies within the issue of how water cities can manage current and future challenges related with climate change and sea level threats. The artist retreat and exhibition space consider how a new relationship between the North Sydney community and the water can be facilitated through vertically rising architectural form that also weaves along the planted railway, which has been renewed through our urban masterplan.

The urban connections are formed from street networks that slope down from Milsons Point leading to an elevated podium which overlooks the courtyard and beyond to the bay. Rising above this level are the two residency towers which are connected by a sky bridge and shared public space. The towers consist of several typologies of integrated living and offer a temporary retreat for the artists – designed with light, ventilation and structure in mind.

An Introverted Encounter with Extraversion

Within space there exists a non-binary delineation of architecture through the scope of introversion and extraversion. When an individual enters a space they experience excitation and inhibition, one ‘resonating’ and the other ‘consonating’.

In his 1921 paper on psychological types, C.G. Jung dissects the introversion-extraversion complex under four primary categories: thinking, feeling, intuition and sensation, functions that will be explored to inform program and movement through the proposal. In particular, an artist initially begins creating their work within an introverted space. Once complete, it is exhibited in a traditionally extraverted space. Therefore, the program of the proposal seeks to use the conversation between introversion and extraversion as a medium by which the built environment encounters the waterfront of Lavender Bay.

The project is located in Lavender Bay in close proximity to the foreshore, high-rise residential areas as well as North Sydney CBD. As the site is close to the entertainment district as well as having a visual connection with the Sydney Opera House, the project that was chosen is a music centre that would draw activity and life to the foreshore and create a social spot for artists and performers. It supports a wide range of activities from private studio spaces to large public theatres, the main aim being to merge both architecture and music to create a sensory experience for the coastline of Lavender Bay.

Can there be a link between the water and the land to create architecture? To begin with, the basic concept is to make a place within which the commons can enhance the use of the waterfront.

Boundless Boundaries...

Between the land, global warming sea level rise and architecture, which one serves as a boundary? Rather than building away from the water, we will use this as an opportunity in strengthening the connections between water, architecture and people, using it as an instrument of therapy rather than a threat.

By blurring the lines between humans, architecture and water, we can focus on creating a natural and relaxing environment for the community of not only Lavender Bay but also wider Sydney, designing a destination away from the stresses of work, school and daily life and providing a space of leisure.
