The brief of this project is to provide an exhibition of the architectural design intent of which is to be highly reflective on the own position in architectural theory and critical towards the current state of society and its potential to provide a desirable future for future generations and provoke thoughts of visitors. The site is on the riverbank of the Merri Creek, surrounded by trails. It is close to the Cres Environment Park, which is such a lively place that holds colorful community activities and educational programs. People visit the park and take part in the activities, also the ones living around the site are considered to be the mainstream of the visitors of the exhibition. And the project is planned to inspire those dynamic groups of people from different ages, educational levels and come for different proposes.
TECTONIC ELEMENTS & PROTOTYPES
The suspended pyramids narrow the inner space with the tip pointing to visitors. The height of them is increasing as people go further. The pyramid also decreases the light going through the surface into the inside. The change is more dramatic as people go further.

This project is the work of Studio Fire. The brief requires us to design a new learning center complex as part of the University High School, Story Street, Parkville. The University High School occupies a site at 77 Story Street, Parkville, adjacent to the Royal Melbourne Hospital and close to the University of Melbourne and the Central Business District. The building should be able to accommodate a new Sports Department, Renaissance Centre, and General Learning Area complex for senior students.
BASIC FACILITIES
The idea of my design is to create a healthy and lively study environment where students can enjoy the fun of sports and be creative with their studies. The modules of the building form are changing from stuffy square to mutable polygon. The building itself is a balancing, to be more specific, the quiet study area including library and study rooms is in the shapes of polygons. However, the vibrant area of basketball and gym are regular rectangular. I believe through the change in space can inspire users and affect the internal atmosphere.

The overall design and planning are aiming to create a convenient, safe mini town that takes residents’ wellbeing into consideration, and introduces architecture into an optimum integration in the green surroundings. Main goals of the project: • Separated clusters for different options and needs • Self-sufficient community • Shared spaces and plug-in units Community space, (e.g. gardens, playgrounds, parks) gather residents together Key points of houses placement: • Provide enough privacy and isolation to ensure each dweller enjoy their own free and undisturbed time. • Bring less burden to the environment and improve the landscape. • Manage the complexity and make differences — frame complete different views for each side of the houses

HOUSE SETTLEMENT SCHEME The long-term viability and ongoing sustainability of Lorne are compromised with an aging population and increasingly unaffordable housing. Lower to middle-income families are unable to compete with affluent buyers of second homes or holiday house, making Lorne less attractive as a place to live. Without families remaining or moving to Lorne, there is not the permanent population to sustain the facilities of Lorne, such as the school, CFA, and local businesses throughout the year. Business owners find it challenging to attract seasonal staff over the peak summer period to Lorne, due to the lack of accommodation for workers. Significant development of
affordable permanent housing within the town boundary is not possible if the characters of Lorne are retained. Outside of the town boundary, the land is zoned non-residential, has a significant landscape overlay, and is classified as having a high bushfire risk. This project intends to design essential permanent housing and seasonal accommodation with a significant coastal rural landscape, locates in a region where is prone to catch bushfires.

House I is designed for couples or small families. The total area is 27 sqm. A double bed is suspended on the upper floor. The entrance, study, and cooking area are partitioned by different floor levels. There is one extra sofa bed to accommodate one guest. This house is also ideal for hosting parties with friends and family members. Storage is hidden and in small sizes.
House I
House II is designed for people to live on their own. The stairs at the entrance could be slid into the shelves below the middlelevel floor. This will allow a large open area in the living zone. There is a washing machine hidden behind the stairs. Next to the laundry area, is a foldable sofa, which could be an extra bed for guests. House II is only 17.4 sqm but pretty ample for one person living alone.
House II
The focus of the design is combining multiple function zones with concerns of their own features and requirements. In this way, the house could be fully functioned and minimized. The experience of living in this tiny house
makes its user define their needs to live in a compact residence to adapt to a new lifestyle. They have to leave distractions that are physically first on their way to approaching a simpler and less stressful life.

Project Programs
Form Finding
The SUPERORGANISM is A system that is able to adapt to changes and set members in order; A building system that can keep inner space comfortable with natural convention and light. To realize this notion, this building is designed to be adaptive and learnable for potential changes. Relative schemes include Adaptive envelope, a resilient approach to plan and Individual circulations for different users. On the other hand, it is also designed to be Organised and United with hierarchy and consistency in programs. Users are programmed with separated entrance and circulation. They are also offering common spaces to meet and share from Chaotic to Ordered.
As population density in cities increasing, multifunction high-rise buildings like a mini-city within cities may compose part of the system of a busy CBD. The exchange of this building is not only between the building and outside but also more exchange among different sections in the building as a high efficient and self-sufficient organism.

05 "Social Interchange" Individual Work Master Studio Thesis Tutor: Ooi Wei Yap & Rutger Pasman
A: PLAZA The project is intending to not just concentrate on the use of the Fishermans End waterways as dock parking but also as a facility for the local community as a social condenser. It is expected to activate the development of the waterside of Fisherman's Bend as an important knot and improve the interaction between the public and the marina. This boathouse is designed for dry storage of over 300 boats ranging from 3-12 meters long and parking for boats shorter than 30 meters. At the aspect of waterways, it will be a stop and highlight of boat cruises, and a place to welcome
boat travelers before they enter the CBD of Melbourne. Boat hire, storage, and maintenance services are offered. People who use those services could have the membership to allow their priorities to use the venues in this infrastructure and other facilities with discounts. Boats can be launched 24-hrs with the support of a mechanical automation system and an intelligent management system.

Open, semi-open, or enclosed venues are also opening for appointments to the public for holding activities. Cafe, restaurants, and bars attached to the boathouse are also where people can visit in their leisure time. East plaza, docks, and east corridor are planned for the weekend market zone. Everyone can book a place and sell their unused item. Sellers are also allowed to sell goods in their boats at the dock. Those programs are very likely to launch the development of the local community.

POSSIBLE TIMELINE OF THE PROJECT
Group Member: Ming Chi, Yue Lu & Yanyu Su Master Studio C Tutor: Fjalar de Haan and Camilo Cruz
INDICATION OF SITE DEVELOPMENT SCENARIO.01 RECESSIVE TREND The influx of refugee will increase at 2017. In this scenario, we assume the population will gradually decrease, and all refugees will gradually leave in 2040.
SCENARIO.02 HIGH-DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TREND It is assumed that the popupolation would continued growing.
As an unfinished project, the building site, structure, and function is changing and updating as the need of its users and potential trend. Instead of letting the site changing with no control, the algorithm is applied to dealing with information from all sources and make decisions to the changes.
Calculate Charge of Field X=Fx∑1/d d----Distance F----Value
Each unit of the grid is given a 3D Coordinate (X, Y, Z)
This change is discussed by both small units or the
overall structure of the construction. - Local logic decide how a unit affects the changing of units next to it. - Global logic decide the overall trend of the construction, such as the portion of each type of unit, the form, and expanding direction. - Users --shelter finders' needs will also be considered in the algorithm.
A: Empty Unit Existing function unit will be given a charge of field. Decide: Whether the unit will be used What function the unit will be.
SCENARIO.03 COMMERCIALIZED TREND The influx of rfugees grows first, and then becomes stable.
GLOBAL LOGIC - POTENTIAL FUTURE The site of the project is located at Burnley in Melbourne. The intention is to propose a solution for the potential refugee problem in Melbourne. With a view of an uncertain future. The project is requested to obtain the ability to adapt to the situation, which may change as the refugee policy and international political and economic situation.

What we expect is that refugees can obtain the ability to build their own communities through relevant training. Therefore, they get skills and job opportunities. In this way, their independence and self-sufficiency are realized. The different developing situation of shelters is explored by parametric methods to simulate a dynamic and metabolic architectural system. The structure and functions of that can adapt to user’s changing demands and evolve efficiently. What makes this design different from previous unsettled or metabolism projects, is the role of algorithms in leading the developing and changing of the construction. That is also the core of this project.

Empty units will also obtain value of field from existing units. Amount of same function unit can accumulate.
LOCAL LOGIC - AFFECT FROM THE SURROUNDING The growing of units start from the points at the borders of core tower. Each point can move in x or y axis direction to generate next points.
Rules:
-Points of newest generation will be used as seeds of next growth.

07 Energy Self-sufficient Skyscraper
GROUND PLAN AND USER CIRCULATION
Floorplates of the skyscraper are shaped with round corners, especially the northeast corner. This design maximizes the proportion of area which has good views of the greenery and is able to receive direct sunlight during most of the day time. Moreover, the method mentioned above is not applied to all the sides of the envelope. With the considering of solar energy efficiency and economical factors, solar panel spandrels are only applied in the facade of the northeast corner.
The structure technology of the skyscraper is megastructure. Its system includes the central core and the out frame, which can provide larger open spaces and ensure the integrity of the building structure, and provides more flexible space to our tower.
Group Members: Yanyu Su, Xiao Han&Shuo Xu Master Applied Architectural Technology Tutor: Giorgio Marfella
Other sides of the envelope are using the curtain wall with ordinary spandrel panels. The mega column develops the building facade into 12 segments. So, its facades have the freedom to use different shapes and types of curtain wall units in each segment. To simplify the fabrication of the curtain wall unit, the facade is divided and form 5 different units. Even though the facade is relatively complicated, the documentation work is not too difficult. The unique tectonic form of the building makes the design and final look of the
skyscraper quite different from Korean Industries Tower. Groundbreaking technology that combined solar panels in the curtain wall is introduced in the facade design. This technology is firstly used in the Korean Industries Tower which is one of the green buildings and the solar power generating of which is most efficient in the world. This special type of spandrel panel is placed at the ideal angle for receiving solar energy. In this way, the spandrel can also provide shading. The use of the solar panel in this building is vast. We change the angle of the solar panel to the ideal angle in Melbourne, 37 degrees to ensure the best performance. Another aspect of high efficiency is the multi-functions of the spandrel unit. So almost no shading will be needed, the cost and labor are saved. With clever angle fixation, the spandrel can prevent high light in summer and let low light in winter into the building.

SITE AND SETBACKS The 304-meter-tall, 61-story skyscraper is composited with a 48-meter by 48-meter square tower and a two-step podium the height of which is 24 meters to 36 meters. Moreover, the space ef ciency is very high in this squaretower building. Located at the corner of the CBD, the function of this building is ex- pected to be more exible and adaptable. The story height of the 5-story podium is 6 meter, which could accommodate different forms of commercial activities such as shopping mall, activity venue or even
education facilities. On the doors which higher level podiums joining the tower, the boundary between of ces and marketing is blurred. The lower podium is cover with glazed top and elevated above the ground with a plaza opened to the public. This is proposed to be a promotion to attract more pedestrians to the site. People from La Trobe and Exhibition Street can easily nd the plaza by its welcome openings. Another entrance for people working in the building is at the northeast corner of the site closer to the main tram and train station.

KALIMAB/MBIRA The mbira is an African musical instrument consisting of a wooden board (often fitted with a resonator) with attached stagger metal tines, played by holding the instrument in the hands and plucking the tines with thumbs. By using different forms and materials, the timbre could be very different and inspiring. TINES OPTION B
Our concept is exploring the relationship between the Kalimba and performers' bodies: - Rebuild the form to match body shape - Enhance the interaction between the player and instruments thoroughly - Expand the instrument to touch the performer's ears and skull to feel the vibration of the rhythm. - By introducing parametric elements in the keys and base to increase the variations and possibilities of the sound quality.

This model is the work from the subject of Construction Design. We are allocated a part of the constructed building for the Olympic Park Community Facilities, and reconstruct that part through axonometric drawing and physical model making. In this way, I understand the overall and detailed design of the construction and express our understanding through our model. Choosing the material to present various structure types is also very important. The model should be dissected to show more detail and layers within it, and how they are connecting with each other.
