THESIS STATEMENT
This thesis explores the potential of architecturally designed solution for people living with Bipolar Disorder in Australia. Recognised symptoms of Bipolar Disorder included extreme mood swings from overly excited to heavy depression, sometimes in a very short period of time. These extreme mood swings require the architecture to adapt and provide an environment to assist people living with Bipolar. One of the issues with affordable housing is the lack of consideration and cost effective solutions for people living with general disabilities, especially Bipolar Disorder. The research in this thesis explores the effects of bipolar disorder and identifies the requirement of different spatial qualities creating comfortable spaces for people experiencing fluctuating moods. The response is to create discrete semi-private spaces within private open spaces that offer people with Bipolar different degrees of social engagement depending on their current emotional status. The semiprivate space will limit visual connection and provide a sense of enclosure and security, while the open private spaces will provide a high level of engagement encourage communication. The choice of where people sit will become an indicator of their emotional status, acting as a signal for co-inhabitants.
TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT The two bedroom apartment is located on the north facing corner. This will allow sufficient natural sunlight for the bedrooms and ensured that no borrow-light bedrooms exist.

During the site 2.1analysis, Streetscape Elevations VISION we found that buildings VICTORIA ONE in the CBD only have LIGHT HOUSE two extremes, either MY 80 dynamic or static. There EMPIRE is no building which is AURORA not extremes.
The main concept for this residential tower is dynamic. Melbourne CBD is a straight line city with hard edges. Curve buildings are now introduced into the city. However, city is missing a transitional buiding.

CONCEPT RESEARCH
Since the site is located on the edage of the east and west link highway, the noise has become one of the most important issue on site. The surrounding environment seems not to be too welcome as the original use of the land was for industiral usage, not educational. Moreover, the transportation route seems not to be convinence as and there wasn't any proper drop-off space.
