EXPERIENCE Design Assistant | Rationale Design Melbourne / May 2017 – September 2017 It has always been my dream to be able to make people feel something within the spaces I design. Deeply inspired by one of the most extraordinary architects - Alvaro Siza - my design seeks to follow his style, today known as “poetic modernism”. I believe that by mirroring the character of the site - be it it’s history, orientation or landscape - within the architectural design, one creates a story that it’s users can follow and relate to. One can then tie the user to the space in a way that they are then able to feel the space more than just see it. Most of my projects work towards building this relationship between the user and the space such that they can experience to the maximum and be the best version of themselves.

“ More than anything, successful design is about making people feel they have control over their environment. For people to feel connected to a space, there needs to be spatial variation and a clear sense of direction. ” - Kate Jeffery, Behavioural Neurologist at UCL With advanced research and technological advancements neuroscientists have been able to determine what makes the human brain tick, and how designers can utilize this knowledge to create spaces that stimulate the brain. My project utilizes geometry, orientation, variation in planar levels, retention of green areas and explores these in relation to the stimulation of the brain. My design aims to respond to the needs of the students by creating a variety of spaces using several access points, multifunctional zones while maintaining a strong axis throughout the design. While the different access routes break the monotony, a strong axis helps keep the users focused. The multifunctional zones allow for the school to monetarily profit from leasing it out to the public on weekends, making the space more purposeful. Thus, this design’s purpose is to make the students more efficient and stimulated individuals.

SIZA BY THE YARRA BOATHOUSE DRIVE, MELBOURNE DESIGN STUDIO : WATER TUTOR : Sarah Kahn Semester 2, 2016 Individual Work

This project explores the stylistic characteristics of one of the Masters of architecture – Alvaro Siza – and demonstrates these in the form of a small boathouse on the Drive of the Gardens in the City of Melbourne. This design plays with Siza’s concepts of circulation, forced windows and orientation as a connection to nature. A vertical division in spaces – ground floor being informal and first floor, formal – allows the building to be experienced as a journey. Like Siza’s designs, this building’s informal spaces are more accessible from the main road, while one would need to put in a marginally higher effort to get to the formal spaces, using the stairs. The process of getting to the formal spaces is like a journey. The variety in window sizes and placement produces views that one would call almost forced, creating a distinct atmosphere in each of the spaces. Informal spaces overlook the free-flowing river and the abundant greenery, while formal spaces overlook the grander man-made cityscape and the glistening city lights. The building also shares a strong connection to nature through it’s horizontality, orientation and the paths running through it that lie perpendicular to the curves of the river, making it seem like it almost flows into the Yarra River.

PRINCIPLES OF ARCHITECTURE

HERRING ISLAND, MELBOURNE

POINT/LINE/PLANE

DESIGN STUDIO: EARTH TUTOR : Heather Mitcheltree Semester 1, 2016 Individual Work FRAME & INFILL

MASS

In the 1830s the British dug up several lands to procure bluestone, pushing the Indegenous people out of their habitat. Once all the resources were consumed, they then left in search for another resourceful area to build more quarries, leaving behind a large pit. Herring Island was created as an excuse to deposit and stack all the river residue and silt from the Yarra and also to fill up the large pit that was left behind. The island’s purpose was then taken one step further and was linked to it’s past - the times when the Indigenous owned the land. Today, despite being draped by the indigenous flora and fauna, the artificiality of the island speaks of the loss and absence of the indigenous culture that was lost within the pit.

14.

This design embrases this island’s history, linking it to the key concept - “ABSENCE” Something hollow, Something empty. A pit. The island’s topography indicates the presence of only one natural valley/pit, allowing me to use it as a hint to the secret. This pit on Herring Island has been used as a representation of the absence of the Indegenous people and their culture.

SITE PLAN

The study of these three architectural languages helped build a relationship between the site and the structure. Merging these three languages to produce a final design gives it variety through experimentation of spaces and geometry.

DESIGN PROCESS This design works on the tension and interplay between various elements. It uses form to build on anticipation. The extruded mass, frames and lines that poke through the structure - all give the people within the space a direction to follow and a chance to discover newer and more secretive spaces.

THE SITE

1985

The Concrete Lawn also known as the Union Lawn was once a lake. Over the years, due to an increasing need for facilities surrounding the lake several roads were built around it to make the area more accesible. In time, with better accessibility within the campus, there was an increase in the number of developments, following which was an increase in the number of students. The lake was replaced by two buildings (Raymond Priestley Building and Commerce Building) because of an increase in need for facilities. Today, this site is extremely different from what it

This design pays homage to what the space one used to be - a lake, now burried under the Concrete Lawn. As per the design brief this project takes into consideration three functions - habitation, debate and exchange - each of which have been demonstrated in different ways. However, each of the designs have been made in a way that allows an overlap of functions, making each a multifunctional and interesting space for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s users. The space for exchange has been designed in a manner that directs people towards the forgotten lake. The debate and habitation spaces hollows into the ground, creating a connection to what once existed beneath.

ANALAGOUS ARMOUR DESIGN STUDIO: AIR TUTOR : Caitlyn Parry Semester 2, 2017 Group + Individual Work

CONCEPT People suffer from a variety of mental illnesses. A large number of those lead to people needing their personal space in order to feel protected from the people around them, and to prevent themselves from feeling flustered and lost. Haptephobia, depression and schizophrenia are a few illnesses that are common and see people needing their space and protection. FORM DEVELOPMENT Taking inspiration from nature; just like the pupa my project seeks to provide a space that can support movement, as well as shelter the sensitive living being within it.

One curve was created around the torso. This was offset twice to produce curves to surround the neck as well as the thighs. The perimeter of the curve around the neck was kept the smallest so that the user could wear the armour which would then rest on their shoulder.

The curves were lofted to create a surface. This surface was then split veritcally in two to make assembly and design development easier. The larger perimeter around the torso allowed a bubble form to be generated around the human body. These curves were intentionally designed as a wavy form to allow for freedom of movement.

This was the final prototype that was chosen for further developement . In order to create a form that represented the bubble seen in part C.2, it was important to alter the slit sizes (on the top and the sides). Every line segment in this component shared a relationship with the rest of the lines. All of these relationships were developed in Grasshopper which made it very easy to produce different sizes of components. Every line segment in this component shared a relationship with the rest of the lines.

The two surfaces were then horizontally and vertically divided to form an understanding of the number of components that would be needed to make the armour. These points were altered to hold components of different sizes. Planes were then added to each point on the surface to allow for the geometry to be oriented on them. The same steps were followed to add arms to the armour so the user could hide their arms and use this armour as a personal bubble with minimum exposure.

Having components of differentr sizes allowed me to develop the three main qualities of this armour. Flexibility: Smaller pieces allowed for movement of the structure. Since the material being used was felt, this also allowed the big pieces to bend as per the need of the user. This model displayed great material response. The use of felt meant that the structure could bend and move. It is the ability of this structure to bend that helped give it the bubble-like form. This model is also quite feasible for a 1:1 human armour since laser cutting is not extremely expensive . However, this technique would not be cost effective for a larger structure. The cost of fabric is quite low and hence made this project feasible.

It was important to try different shapes and sizes of components as they affect the form and appeal of the final model. The linearity of this design is what I liked the most.

I liked this iteration solely for the linearaity of the form and it’s simple layers. These smaller but linear segments enhance the composition of the design.

The ‘feathers’ (two projecting strips at the bottom of the component) maintained a good relationship with the triangular top. Due to being parallel to the body the side flaps also

Curves did not bring out the brutalist sense that linear forms did. I did not want to bring in a sense of softness to the armour as the armour must represent strength - enhancing the sense of protection.

helped maintain a simple composition.

Between prototype 1 and 3, with a difference in flap length, the component with the shorter one seemed to give the structure a greater complexity. The top slits for connecting two pieces (vertically) needed to be altered in order to make the connections stronger

The arrowhead prototype when joined together created a very clustered look which I didn’t like simce I wanted the armour to seem harsh but simple at the same time.

Inserting the ‘feathers’ into the top slit of the component below gave the model a natural life (as seen in the image on the left). Connecting, arranging and aligning the components was an important aspect of the design building. It is this process that decides how cost effective your project is. I had to make sure that the components didn’t overlap but were placed next to each other - such that they shared lines. This reduced the cost of laser cutting immensely.
