DESIGN PROJECT

Patch Patches , Major Project 2015 Gateway Complex Freeway Park The Gateway complex freeway park is a project which tries to transform the spaces around and under an urban freeway, in order to optimizing the use of land and improve the built environment ecologk ically on site. The project is questionlin ty i C ing those single purposed urban infrastructure or built structures, and trying to create a multi-purpose built environment to bring environmental, social and economic benefits to local people and Yarra River community.

City of Melbourne

CBD

The site is located at south-west of the Melbourne CBD; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a space around the West Gate Freeway, which links Geelong and theewWestern suburbs to the Melbourne ay re F e t CBD t Gaand beyond, also connects with the Wes Citylink towards the Northern suburbs. The West Gate Freeway is a major freeway in Melbourne. It is seen as the busiest urban freeway and the busiest road in Australia, carrying upwards of 200,000 vehicles per day. West of the site is a big industrial area in Fishermans Bend. South of the site is the City of Port Philip along the Port Phillip Bay.

Site reform

Freeway as thematic While designing the Freeway Park, the forms and movement of the freeways on site are used as analogies for designs, in order to express the feelings of the freeway environment, enormous, concrete, lengthy, speedy, continuous, etc. and also use these elements to create an completely different environment in contrast to the freeway environment on site, which is diversification and ecological.

Freeway forms

Movement-a way of infiltration The patterns created by the moving vehicles, like dashed lines, are used as vegetation patterns of the freeway park, to create patches of plants. Each patch works individually to transport stormwater into the groundwater. The distances between each patch are very small so that all the patches could take the stormwater on the impermeable built surfaces around them. Each patch could also perform as an individual green space for several people to gather together and enjoy the space.

B1 Buildings with freeway forms have roofs connect with ground spaces. The roofs could be used to create public spaces and gardens. The spaces under the roofs (internal building spaces), could be used as functional or commercial spaces.

Cities that continue to make the inhumane choice of ‘grey over green’

Hardy and tolent of drought, full sun and full shade. Dislikes poor drainage.

Where a tree exists either because someone planted it or because someone decided to leave it there, it is imperative that we create a new definition of what we mean by man-made nature . Such a definition would have to incorporate and expand not only the creation of gardens and public spaces but also the creation of architecture which must be seen as one specialized aspect of the making of man-made nature

DESIGN PROJECT

Disturbing The Disturbance , Studio 2014 Reclamation Design For Mined Environment

Melbourne By its very nature, mining must disturb the land. In some instances, these large-scale disturbances have resulted in long-term environmental issues, such as acid-mine drainage or subsidence. All mines require a post mine land-use plan as part of the permitting process, even before ground is broken for a new mine.

LaTrobe Valley coal mines Loy Yang Power Station

Through new digital-simulation techniques, however, a more substantial public discourse can develop whereby the public feedback and response portions of EISs and environmental assessments can be turned into visual, rather than solely textual, representation. 4 people work in a group in this project.

The ultimate goal of this research DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Two different iterations is to develop a digital environment that leads to greater efficacy and community input in post-extraction Landfill Locations Iteration 1 or abandoned-mine-land-redevelopment decision making. Although the prototype shown here was created for mined environments, the research and representational strategies can easily be adapted to a variety of landscapes and projects where environmental alterations have occurred. Grasshopper picking low grade slopes from original site

The final outcome of this project was generated from two iterations of design, modeled through certain research and analysis processes. Rhinoceros was used as the essential tool for modeling the designed landforms uder certain decision makings. Using the after mined landscape for landfill is taken as a main procedure in the reclamation process. Soil type analysis, landfill areas, vegetation schema, energy harvest, watershed, recreational opportunities and time needed are the main elements considered in this projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design process.

Reclamation design emphasizes adaptations to, rather than replication of, the environment, thereby suggesting a major distinction from what has been termed “restoration”.

10 years

Therefore, altered landscapes encode a realignment of one’s design objectives toward optimal landscape performance from minimal energetic input, or, that is, toward a conservation of energy and mass in site operations. key

This assessment may reveal unique or beneficial uses of local materials, enhancing the character of the landscape while reducing transportation and procurement costs.

20 years hiking landfill construction

The designer must devise approaches that “disturb the disturbance” in order to reintroduce ecological diversity to the site. Instead of replacing a site’s problematic soil, for example, a more adaptive approach might include sacrificing the surface to catch water and slowely ameliorating the soil with natural process.

DESIGN PROJECT

Barlow Motors , Studio 2013 Building for Barlow world Enterprises Brief Description: This project stems from Dr. Derham’s Groves research into the career of the Melbourne architect Arthur William Purnell (1878-1964) and one of his most colourful clients, Alexander George Barlow, a highly innovative-if slightly shady-businessman, who was a pioneer of the car retail industry in Melbourne. Students were asked to imagine that A.G. Barlow and A.A. Barlow were alive today and need a new building for Barlow Motors, consisting of a car showroom, a car service centre, a car park, offices for Barlow world Enterprises, and a rooftop miniature golf course. Since the brands of cars once sold by Barlow Motors no longer exist, students were asked to choose a current brand for the company to sell. Concept: I decided to choose to sale Hybride Cars for Barlow Motors to reflect their innovative spirit as hybride car is a new product in the car industry and have not be used widely by people. Hybrid cars use electricity and is promoted for sustainability. Then I came up the idea of lightning. Lightning is electricity which created by the natural environment and it also do damages. I came up the idea of putting up broken pieces of building facades together. Broken pieces are irregular and lightning also has some irregular forms, but also has branches like tree roots. The lightnign strips also could be neonlights on building, and also show people the idea that “Barlow Motor Enterprises” hit this spot and gonna create something new.

DESIGN PROJECT

Gateway Project , Studio 2012 Wyndham City to Melbourne CBD transition Brief Description: Gateway Project is a studio I did in the subject Architecture Design Studio-Air in year 2 in the University of Melbourne. This subject mainly concentrates on parametric design and students were asked to use Rhino and Grasshopper to design this project. Students were asked to design a gateway for Wyndham City beside the freeway from Geelong to Melbourne which passes Wyndham in the middle. The brief required an exciting, eye catching and iconic installation beside the freeway and parametric design is suitable.This is a group project with 3 or 4 people work together.

VORONOI SURFACE

At the beginning, we did many researches about parametric design and some precedents of it. We found biomimicry was an interesting way to do architecture and we did many tests on Voronoi in Grasshopper in Rhino. The 4 line diagrams are some of the shapes and surfaces we made using Grasshopper. We also made a model of a Voronoi shelter which we designed to be a gateway at beginning using 3D printer.

VORONOI

Later on, we formed an argument of urban-countryside relationship as our focus of design. We want to show the differences between urban and countryside. Freeway is a transition band from one city to another and the site is in countryside of Wyndham city. Drivers passing the site are people from urban or going to urban. We were thinking to design a structure to describe the transition between countryside and urban. We chose to show the contrast between the natural landscapes in Wyndham and the graffiti art which was an identity in Melbourne CBD. We want to show the openness, wildness, calm and smooth of Wyndham in contrast with the grids, buildings, vibrate, compact and colorful of Melbourne CBD. We used strips, curves, triangles and lofted surfaces.

We wanted it to be the size which people could see it from about 500m away so that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass it too quickly. After calculation, we thought 3 seconds close view would be enough and which means it will be 75m long (car speed is 100kmph).

Dark, empty & rubbish bins When people in a particular space, themselves become part of the space both physically and emotionally. At the same time, the space is changed by people in different ways by their different actions.

Movement & Narrowness Movement actions: - go-stop-go - sit - standing - see - chat - wait - buy - serve - eat - touch

Narrowness: - limited space - cramped - close to each other - a little crowded - easy to touch/bump - hard to move smoothly/ straightly - easy to block

Main movement:

After testing in these laneways and public places, the garment was reshaped by people. We could see that the skeleton of the garment was changed. It was like blown up before testing, and now it shrinks, and it also has people’s writing on it. The narrowness of these spaces decrease the distances between people and push people to be loser to each other, which become a force to reshape our garment. However, there are also other forces which reshaped our garment, like individual’s curiosity and people’s different interests on the garment.

Garment rehaping the narrowness of a space

Reshape

We found that not only the narrowness of spaces reshaped our garment, when the garment was in these narrowed spaces; it also reshaped the narrowness of these spaces and changed people’s actions. It’s like it narrowed the narrow spaces. In bigger streets and public spaces, we found that the narrowness also happen when it’s getting crowded, when many people walking on the street and they stop and start looking at you, which also created narrowness for other people. As a result, people in narrowed spaces reshaped the garment, and the garment also reshaped the spaces which also changed people’s actions.

When our garment is in a narrowed space, the narrowness of the space is changed by the garment, and people’s movement

Problems The interaction between people and the garment itself was not as much as we expected. Most people would walk around and not touch the garment. They tend to keep a distance with a strange thing. And some people thought we are wearing this for some kind of religious purpose, so they don’t want to touch it. Sometimes we hide into the garment so that people may not think we are some kind of religious people. However, we think the sound made by the forks and spoons is actually very successful, the sound mixed into the environment of Centre Pl and Degraves St very well and it is also attractive on the other public spaces. Some improvement we thought could be the color and the material. In the night, it was like a ghost walking in the street. Maybe we could also try some paper-like materials, like aluminium foil which makes the shape easier to identify.

Learning circles

I wish it was more natural, wish it was more like a real creek, not like a drain. However, the kids don’t mind having some concrete to do their bike riding. I real like a sort of natural creek, but I still like a bit of concrete for playing. We are very upset about the east-west link project, and we are worried about the noise.

Received emails from Russell Smith, who is quite supportive for our activity. We try to establish a new network with Russell and Tony, which will get together more people who care about the Moonee Ponds Creek.

Research PROJECT

Forces Forming The Topography , Seminar 2013 Digital Modeling ‘Forces forming the topography’ is a research explores the latent forces which transformed Melbourne city’s topography by 3D modeling in Rhino. The research is also studying the relationship between natural and non-natural topography, the role of topography within the city and the application of a material. The process of this research will be based on the subject’s technique including writing research questions and making models, also asking questions through models. There are 12 iterated research questions and models to form the body of research.

e urn o b l Me BD C

Rhino is used as the material for modeling in this research. I am interested in 3D digital modeling and also using this to explore the factors of topography’s formation. Site: Jolimont Rail yard is used as a site for research and modeling.

Based on the experimentation and test models, I set a technique to make models for the research questions. The technique is based on the relationship between points and surfaces. A surface could generate a group of points and a group of points could also generate a surface. A piece of topography is composed by a group of different components and a group of components form a piece of topography.

Topography surface of site

Get surface points

Remodel the surface points by applying different kinds of forces

The technique is to remodel the topography by giving variable forces to move the surface points in order to create the new surface model. Through this process of remodeling the topography to explore the transitions within city’s topography and the forces forming the topography transformation.

Excerpt for beginning the research: “Melbourne’s boulevards, railways and freeways provide self-contained and continuous routes laid over an underlying landscape of local areas and local features. However they can also create dramatic experiences of the city, with broad outlooks, transitions, and senses of entry and arrival that assists in revealing the underlying subtle topography and patterns of parks and waterways.” - The City of Melbourne, Draft Urban Design Strategy Modeling the site Grasshopper script

Input: surface of Get surface site points

Drawing After remodeling the topography, create drawings to study the structure of the model and research questions. Reassessing the research question and asking questions through the model before writing the new question and making the new model.

3rd Iteration From this model I found that the transformation of topography under gravity is very subtle and I was thinking that there were also other physical forces which transformed the topography inconspicuously.
