Spaces for Innovation
ENGAGEMENT
The multi faceted roles of ANSTO as a provider of medical isotopes, nuclear research hub, and future plans of technology park and innovative campus have certain degree of complexity. It calls for spaces for innovation as a basis where people can start create, collaborate, share knowledge and solve problems. Furthermore, ANSTO is anticipating a future of 30,000 people on site, thus there must be a platform to allow individuals and public to engage as a community. The diagram below is a blueprint of my thematic research, also outlining the two themes of my design will be surrounding ‘engagement’ and ‘collaboration’.

CENTRALISED
There are different approaches to innovation - from a creative cullture where ideas come from everywhere through to coordinated brainstorm inputs. Different models researched by Steelcase has identiƒes speciƒc variables and approaches to innovation.ǎ The combinations of these attributes create 8 different structural models of innovation, each with its spatial implications.

Aligning to ANSTO’s Purpose
The purpose of the innovation space must be balanced with ANSTO’s objectives. In brieƓy assessing ANSTO’s core scope of work, the 4 decentralised models are more suitable for the future ANSTO site. These models will allow more activated and nodal points across the site and accommodate more people, rather than focusing the inƓow of people in the current nodes. Personally for my design approach, the community model is chosen.

SPACE
When considering the elements of inspiring environments, the ƒrst three identiƒed in the framework developed by workplace consultancy pioneers DEGW - efƒciency, effectiveness and expression were measures of workplace performance.ǎ With relation to this, the author Groves proposed additional two elements, which are - empowerment and evolution - which appears in my research to be vital for spaces for innovation for ANSTO.
embracing the inevitability of change, short term and long term.
engagement of people in deeper knowledge and work through autonomy, responsibility and participation.
built around core objectives of communication, it is important how ANSTO’s brand, culture and values are perceived, communicated and experienced by the public, researchers and graduates. focus on quality, and are concerned with improving the performance, quality and/or output of processes, working conditions. According to workplace expert Frank Duffy, sometimes efficiency can be the enemy of effectivess, eg. reduction of circulation space might have economic savings but result to less human interaction.Ǐ

Proximities
The work of Williams, Doorley is summarized below to list out the spatial types or places of communication, thus led to thinking for ANSTO’s innovation incubator from micro to macro scale. The key ƒnding is that in this era, physical proximity is no longer the only form, virtual communication technology is now an integral part in everyone’s life.ǎ Ǐ Thus in thinking about ANSTO’s innovation campus, designing spaces that provide technology savvy amenities is important.

Physical and Virtual Distance
COMMUNICATION
Face-to-face communication remains the critical component of spaces for innovation, being more superior for effective complex information sharing. In fact, some of the most useful communication is through scent and body language.ǎ Studies prove that 60% of Millennials and 72% of the population as a whole prefer collaboration in person.Ǐ In terms of linking design and collaboration, distance is always associated with collaboration. Thomas Allen’s research on probability of personal connections through Ɠoor plan distances is plotted below. The interesting ƒnd is - physical communication can strengthen the digital; people who share physical location are more likely to communicate via email, thus better collaboration continued in digital space.ǐ

Exploration vs Engagement
COLLABORATION
Teams who are co-located and interact frequently are said to be in high engagement, this will allow strong social ties and efƒcient communication, better at solving problems and implementing improvements. As Waber suggests, the more movement and diverse interations, the more likely creative outputs are generated.ǎ From Pentland’s perspective, the solution is to ‘alternate between exploration for idea discovery and engagement with others for behaviour change’,Ǐ as illustrated below. I believe this notion of engagement is the key and is particularly focused on the design development for ANSTO.

Collision and Collaboration
Collision theory in scientiƒc terms tells us as the quantity of collision increases, the higher chances of successful reaction in formation of new bonds. This goes the same with social natures, which will facilitate exchange of ideas, culture building and shifting of new perceptions. In the context of everyday lives - unplanned yet beneƒcial collisions may result to sudden aha moments and inform collaboration.ǎ ANSTO is targeting for future collaborative efforts among international and regional researchers, graduates and also potential industry players. Thus it is crucial to study on how to create dynamic work and study platforms.

Tecnolรณgico de Monterrey Urban Regeneration Plan
24
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
The master plan supports the strategic goals of the university through the development of research and graduate programs, the recruitment of top national and international faculty and students, targeted investment in innovative learning environments, and physical reorganization to achieve greater interdisciplinary collaboration. This is coupled with the development of new partnerships with business and industry entrepreneurs that generate the potential for higher levels of research and product innovation. With close proximity to the academic core, new mixed-use research districts are created to encourage a healthy relationship between the academic community, knowledge industries, and the larger Monterrey community. The Monterrey campus—already an attractive and vibrant community—is designed to provide a modern, beautiful environment that supports collaborative and interdisciplinary learning and problem-solving, with academic, cultural, social, residential, and athletic facilities. The whole campus becomes a classroom, where the many forms of learning come together to create a unique and holistic experience.
Key Learnings 1. The existing library will be transformed into a bold and dynamic 21st-century learning environment. It will be a crossroads for the campus encouraging transparency, engagement and collaboration. 2. At the heart of the new student and faculty commons district, the new TecXXI Exchange Pavilion will serve as a focal point and meeting place for assemblies, social events, and the exchange of ideas. Out of many programs, these two programs from this precedent led me to incorporate similar components in the masterplanning stage as they are vital for collaboration.

Universiti Teknologi Petronas Research Cluster
The UTP R&D Cluster provides a vision for a new and unique district that builds on the distinctive identity of the university, maximizing the opportunity for new strategic industrial partnerships, and balances the extraordinary environmental setting of the site. At the point of transition between the Foster-designed campus and the new district is a dynamic mixeduse hub, made up of business centers, a hotel, exhibition & event center, recreation, retail, and restaurants—a catalytic place where academia and private industry can engage and collaborate. The primary mission for Sasaki’s master plan has been to leverage the academic excellence and mission-oriented research of Universiti Teknologi Petronas’ existing campus (designed by Foster & Partners) to create a new, innovative 21st century R&D Cluster. Sasaki’s master plan considered the signiƒcant interdisciplinary developments that are happening in academic and private industry partnerships around the globe. The master plan, together with an economic development plan led by Tim Gocher (chairman of the Dolma Fund) develops a strategy that recognizes best practices from some of the world’s most successful university-anchored research districts—selectively applying it to the strategy, business models, and implementation plan for UTP’s Research Cluster.
High-activity program spaces are located on lower levels to encourage visibility and interaction; ofƒces and heads-down study spaces are placed in more secluded areas.

Bandar Seri Iskandar, Malaysia
Key Learnings Sasaki’s master plan integrates and articulates public spaces and buildings that are created and conƒgured to facilitate interaction and collaboration. The importance of the quality and interrelationship of design of the public realm, the adjacencies of different programs and uses, and the underlying digital connectivity and accessibility throughout the campus are combined in the master plan. Streets, buildings, sidewalks, and parks have been considered for their potential to become “living laboratories,” where ongoing innovation and invention such as renewable energies, new modes of transportation, and new technologies, can be displayed and shared. As the underpinning to the plan, Sasaki developed a comprehensive sustainability strategy that incorporates buildings, infrastructure, and landscape.

Singapore University of Technolody & Design This new structure has direct impacts on faculty collaborations as well. Lawrence Sass, an architecture professor who spent six months at the university noted “what I really got from SUTD is relationships—it’s an environment where you can get to know people and ‘date’ other faculty that you’d never have a chance to ‘date’ (at MIT).” The inherent interdisciplinary culture of the university actively fosters collaborations across disciplines—for students and faculty alike. To foster SUTD’s innovative curriculum, Sasaki developed the master plan in close collaboration with representatives from MIT and SUTD to put forth a bold and visionary road map for the campus environment. A key concept is the east-west pedestrian spine that showcases the university’s interdisciplinary and collaborative mission with multi-functional and interconnected academic buildings anchored by the International Design Centre and woven together by an outdoor pedestrian network. The spine also creates a public face for the university and connects to surrounding areas for future development. Student life facilities, housing, and recreational buildings will be integrated in mixed-use precincts and connected through a range of public spaces and pedestrian links. Sustainable design strategies are comprehensively integrated through building systems, green roofs, pedestrian and transit access, and stormwater management. The resulting campus has a strong identity, supports a vibrant community, and demonstrates a commitment to engaged learning and student development. The new campus will accommodate up to 7,000 students on a site area of 22 hectares.

Singapore
Key Learnings 1. The Design Centre—a building located at the physical and metaphorical heart of campus—accordingly features a variety of spaces for congregation and collaboration, including conference and exhibition space, studios, workshops, collaboration space, ofƒce and support space, and two auditoriums. The clusters of academic buildings surrounding the Design Centre also have a signiƒcant amount of exhibition and assembly space, as well as classroom, laboratory, and ofƒce space, to respond to the specialized nature of SUTD’s academic programs. 2. Rather than grouping the pillars in distinct areas, the programs are distributed across the building clusters to promote interdisciplinary conversation and innovation. Academic spaces are placed on the lower levels of the buildings, student life space in the middle, and faculty ofƒces at the top, with a goal of putting the most active uses closest to the spine. Each of the buildings have courtyards, light wells and terrace gardens to access air and light, and green roofs overlooking the primary spine and living-learning corridor. To further promote the exchange of ideas, the master plan connects the academic clusters to each other, and to the Design Centre. Within the buildings, a network of pedestrian bridges and entries from the underground parking knit the buildings together. On the exterior, the primary spine and living-learning corridor connect the buildings on multiple levels through a series of pathways and terraces. The frontage of the Design Centre and four pillars along these areas serves to enliven these pedestrian ways.

MANIFESTO / RESEARCH QUESTION 30
Currently ANSTO is situated at the bushland area of Lucas Heights, the only viable way of travelling to site is by automobile or shuttle buses. It is crucial to create an effective entry frontage to introduce people to ANSTO’s role to the society. As researched in the previous chapter, public engagement is the basis to collaboration and innovation. Thus the immediate issue was rethinking how to incorporate science and culture of the site into public engagement, at the same time encapsulate modern innovative spaces for research and education. The idea is to establish public realm, permeable and accessible, which will then give birth to a community to enliven the site. Therefore these goals will be informed by the research question:
How can we rethink innovative spaces for public engagement in science, education and culture?

Site Contour and Soil
The three sections show the undulating slopes and contour the site is experiencing. In the materplanning process, this will be addressed. The low inĆ’ltration soil allow easy construction methods and excavation, and was also the main reason why ANSTO was chosen to house the intricate nuclear reactors and sensitive instruments.

Australia has very few native deciduous trees and most of them are semi deciduous and don’t necessarily shed their leaves in summer. They can be classiƒed as tropical plants that shed their leaves due to dry conditions. Deciduous trees beneƒt the urban landscape by providing heavy shade in the summer and sunlight in winter. These trees should be strategically placed on site with respect to the sun angles during summer and winter to create desirable effects. The trees on the right are a few deciduous trees that integrate well into the landscape of Sutherland Shire and are not invasive to bushland.
Recommended deciduous trees (Sutherland Shire Plants)
The key trees that will be kept in the masterplannig will be the 15-25m tall Eucalyptus trees. As fot the 6-12m small trees, there will be some alterations or replanting.
VEGETATION
52 Ulmus Parvifolia Small Leaf Elm Height: 8 to 10m Broad dense canopy. Turns dull yellow in autumn.
Toona Australis Red Cedar Height: 8 to 12m in cultivation. Turning pale yellow in autumn.
3 to 5 m high small trees
Fraximus Oxycarpa Claret Ash Height: 10 to 15m Useful where space does not permit a broad crown. Turns deep red in autumn
Celtis Australis Celtis Height: 12 to 15m Popular Shade tree for ammenity planting.
Fire trail 10m setback from fence
Sapium Sebiferum Chinese Tallowwood Height: 6 to 8m Rounded Canopy. Leaves turn red and golden yellow in autumn

The site’s walkability is very low, thus it is a main issue to address during masterplanning in order to enliven the place. There is more opportunity to provide loops for cyclists since there are existing roads for automobiles.
54
Density and Active Centres
Opportunity for green squares, innovative or business centres to expand in a way to bridge over larger areas of the opposite side.
55
Aboriginal Heritage Opportunities and Constraints
Meeting Grounds Serpent Public Private Aboriginal Trail
The unique heritage gives opportunity to extend the public area that respond to the site’s central organising principle. This will be carried out in the masterplanning stage.
56
Central Organising Principle The designed allocation and usage of the proposed buildings, roads, vegetation and entrances should respond to the site’s central organising principle
Rock Engravings Find ways to record the Dharawal petroglyphs (rock engravings), through the facades, interior design, information board
Symbolic Resonance Using aboriginal symbols to create master plan, pedestrian routes, meeting places, artworks, facades

URBAN VISION / AMBITION
58
The manifesto
How can we rethink innovative spaces for public engagement in science, education and culture?
To push this even further, an urban vision can be to leverage ANSTO as an international corridor for Australia. It has the potential to develop and reconnect with the surrounding precincts. ANSTO has a unique identity where New South Wales is lacking now, which is intellectuality. NSW and Sydney can be seen as Australia’s pioneer for industry, business or residential, but with the enhanced role of ANSTO, it can reach greater heights. ANSTO should be seen as a landmark of nuclear research, innovation and collaboration and education in the next 30 years, anticipating the demographics of 30,000. Since the Greater Sydney Commision has identiƒed ANSTO Technology Park as a key project, it is anticipated it to boost Sydney’s international competitiveness. Its national contribution of medical isotopes and overseas export can go further to the international platform. Public engagement and collaboration is seen as the basis to start this urban vision, from micro to macro scale.

SEMESTER 1 CONCEPT DESIGN

76 CHARRETTE CLASS ACTIVITY
Semester 1 Progress (Assessment 2)
After receiving feedback, I realised the need to amalgamate the different functions in order to create a dynamic space for collaboration. Thus the main direction was to integrate different users, including visitors, researchers, staff and students to cluster in a same main building. As this is a major move to foster public engagement and sense of community. Secondly the main feedback was also to bridge over the other side, as ANSTO is looking at a future expansion of 30,000 visitors. Therefore in my opinion, a basis of permeability across the site needs to be established. Other feedbacks include rethinking the frontage, in a method to integrate the heritage site and the entry point was also taken into consideration. I have also went back to site analysis and has been updated in the beginning of this report. Throughout this process, precedents were being studied and a new dynamic concept starts to develop.
Key Learnings 1. To create a multi level pedestrian friendly public realm 2. To have a dynamic building where the entrance can be underneath, or people can access from above. 3. Address the issue of main arrival, mainly by car or shuttle bus

Assessment 1 Feedback The bridge component can be integrated with the built form functions to create an internal street, throughout two components of the built form. Assessment 2 Feedback The organic built form should be encouraged but the overall functionality lack order and has edges that can be reƒned. The allocated area need more functional organisation. The vehicle pathway should not go through the ground Ɠoor plane. This semester consisted of iterative design processes and testings done in terms of: 1. Spatial arrangement 2. Structural 3. Facade These processes will be demonstrated in the Design Reƒnement Section with relevant precedents.

Giant Interactive Group Corporate HeadQuarters The Giant Interactive Group Corporate Headquarters is a compact village that accommodates diverse functions in a Ɠexible framework of forms that move in and out of a folded landscape plane. Situated amid existing canals and a new man made lake, the undulating ofƒce building interacts with an augmented ground plane, joining architecture to landscape and environment to site. The East Campus ofƒce building contains three zones: open, non-hierarchical ofƒce space; private ofƒces, and executive suites, which cantilever dramatically over the lake.
88
Shanghai, China
Key Learnings 1. Upon looking at this project, the ƒrst thing that struck me is it looked very close to what I imagined during the charrettes session, thus decided to study it further. It had gave me ideas in formulating the exterior form of my design. 2. Several plazas, carved from the landscape, provide outdoor break and recreational spaces for employees. At the south edge of the campus, a pedestrian plaza steps down to the water’s edge in a continuous outdoor walkway that provides pedestrian access to the lake. This informed me in considering the landscape strategies of my design.
89
Olympic Sculpture Park
Envisioned as a new urban model for sculpture parks, this project is located on Seattle’s last undeveloped waterfront property – an industrial brownƒeld site sliced by train tracks and an arterial road. The design connects three separate sites with an uninterrupted Z-shaped “green” platform, descending forty feet from the city to the water, capitalizing on views of the skyline and Elliott Bay, and rising over existing infrastructure to reconnect the urban core to the revitalized waterfront.

Seattle, United States
Key Learnings 1. This is the main precedent when I referred on how to deal with levels on the ANSTO site. To me, it is the perfect example of bridging over and create a good pedestrian permeable park, 2. By studying the plans and sections, it taught me how to create the right ramps and green areas to appropriate scale.

Key Learnings This is the main precedent during the process to reĆ’ne my roof and structural strategy. The original intention of using the arch column was to open up more ground Ć“oor plan and create a more dynamic experience.
The decision to continue the vertical blade and typical columns is made, to ensure more coherence. Also the verticality language can counter off the horizontality of built form.
The important move was to align the column grids in an axial form to allow more order in built form.

Key Learnings The recycled timber facade is suitable because it can blend into the bushland context and aboriginal culture of ANSTO site. The technological side of it shows the innovation of ANSTO as a scientiĆ’c pioneer. Thus the climatic recycled timber facade is incorporated.
97
Model Exploration
This process aimed to explore the spatial arrangement of the internal street and collaboration pods, how the learning and communal area could allow people to interact. The concrete arch was to explore concrete as the main structure materiality, which this materiality is carried on until the Ć’nal design.

The promenades on the nodes will create an integrated pedestrian network. A pedestrianised link that allows the private and public realm to be physically connected.
Pedestrian can go over or through the innovation incubator. Thus this is a major move bridging to the opposite site. Also it gives a basis of connectivity for future expansion. More importantly, this will bring visitors in and direct them through the heritage site.
