LOCATION: 2 BALLS HEAD DR, WAVERTON NSW 2060

TYPE: MARINE SCIENCE RESEARCH FACILITY, MIXED USE

AREA: LAND SIZE - 6,200M² FDGD F LANDSCAPED AREA - 8,800M²

CLIENT: COUNCIL OF NORTH SYDNEY ARCHITECTURE STAGE: DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

The project is conceived as a community-focussed marine science research facility, connecting innovative marine research with contemporary social, ecological, and developmental issues in Sydney Harbour. The building manifests the complex nature and needs of the site into a built form, resulting in a chain reaction of unexpected events and situations.

Two natural elements between the mountain and the earth have been cited to further this concept. Naturally, the peak should stand above the ground. Still, this design illustrates otherwise, representing the building as a mountain lying underground and integrating into part of the landscape to respect nature and constitute ceremony in the circulation from the top the street level down to the community center that I called the place of holiness in this design.

This notion of paracosm may offer a fresh perspective and awareness in the mundane built environment. It illuminates new and readily lost possibilities of plural, sensation-packed ‘metrotopia,’ which begins with architecture’s active contribution to the urban experience. The inter-relationships between architecture and urban scenarios generate numerous narratives.

DESIGN ITERATION PLANS

PARRAMATTA ARTIST’S STUDIO

INTERACTION CHAIN

The site is located next to the Parramatta Female fFactory and enclosed within great walls as a part of a heritage building in the heritage sites. It is surrounded by the Parramatta River and the grey-headed flyingfox ecology in the West; the Roman Catholic Orphanage in the South and faces towards Fleet Street. If you look at the site development of Parramatta Female Factory in the colonial past. You see that you either have a precinct with the isolate and boundary, at the same time with the inability to accommodate contemporary programs and density. Or you have colonial neighborhoods, with great heritage wall boundaries but without the interaction and charm and programmatic diversity to create a lively neighborhood.

What I am trying to do with Parramatta Art Studio is to create an interaction chain and interlock surrounding site context. So, in a way, bring back the interaction of the great boundary, bring back the walkable streets of the urban neighborhood, bring back the urban park feel of liveness, with Parramatta Park and Parramatta river strategy. To provide the cultural infrastructure to create a lively sort of artist studios and the homes to create a residential population, to populate the streets. To create a new community art studio at the heart of Parramatta that in a way combines the best of the site context.

1 - THE WATER IMPLANTATION

Construct distancing between artist’s studio and public for privacy.

2 - ACCOMMODATION

The building base faces the street on three sides. Therefore, This architecture is designed omnidirectional with open circular design to provide multi-directional orientation to allow visitors to visit from all directions. The most prominent feature of this building is the circular display for 360 degrees views with no distinction between front and back relationship; it can be seen as a front by looking from any faces of the buildings to achieve a perfect connection between the building and the street.

BLACK PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO ARCHITECTURE STAGE: DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Dwelling, by definition, is a house used as a residence private personal space. It provides shelter, comfort, and security for us who dwell in it. Besides privacy, interactions are essential to humans as well. This era is an era of contradictions. People are yearning for personal privacy and individualism while pursuing interpersonal communication. By preserving the topography of the site and interacting as much as possible (not only between people but also between people and buildings, people and the site), we have the opportunity to constantly adjust the distance between us and the surroundings until we reach a balance between privacy and social interaction.

To respect and restore the original appearance of the site’s topography to the greatest extent, a continuous walkable roof garden was proposed. The roof garden will serve as a green belt to connect the interaction between the site and people. At the same time, through the relationship of space separation and superimposition, a space of error and combination is created to block interpersonal interaction to achieve a high-secret living space. In this exploration process, we have to do as architects to make as many interactions as possible while paying attention to the individual needs of individuals, creating a safe and private space without losing personal privacy while creating interpersonal interaction.

THE DWELLING

Two meters stepback from the communal space to enhance daylighting penetrate into the dwelling and play a vital role as buffer zone to stop social interaction and noise transmissions.

THE WALK-ABLE ROOF

The walk-able roof allows residents for outdoor activities, which provide an external space for outdoor activities and social interaction.

ENTRANCE TO COMMUNAL SPACE

Food preparation is done in a kitchen well connected to the main lodge, which can be either staffed, or stashed with supplies for occupants to cook their own meals.

PRIVATE EXTERNAL SPACE

Private external space provide a personal private outdoor space for the owner. It is also perfect as a buffer zone to reduce noise transmission from Hollis Park.

CLIENT: CONFUCIOUS INSTITUTE AUSTRALIA ARCHITECTURE STAGE: DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

The Chinese-Australian Cultural Exchange Center located in Sydney, heart of NSW, Australia. The center serves to promote Chinese culture, enhancing cultural exchanges, and bridging friendship between the two countries.The center covers a total area of 4,800 square meters and a building area of 3,200 square meters. The construction of this cultural center features a blend of Australian and Chinese classical architectural language, using Chinese column beams and Australian aboriginal styles.

The exposed light steel structure brings the architecture a sense of floating and forming a strong visual contrast with the surrounding heavy dim old buildings.

Site selection of this project is located in the Waverton district of Sydney, Australia.

DESIGN STRATEGIES

1. Minimize Intervention Strategy

The idea of the irreversible consideration of building restoration is to minimize changes to historical buildings; maximize the preser vation of the original features of the historic fabrics.

Construct sense of lightness through exposed light steel structure and to strengthened contrast between the old building with heavy historical stone construction

The functional blocks (space) will be overlapped to form a building cluster hidden in the landscape, so as to achieve a modest and harmonious design attitude.

By the used of ramp to connect layering platforms to achieve immersive spatial experience and reduce con struction cost.

Interaction, Coherent Water System

Strengthen interaction between site and waterfront, by set up a trail and moved the underground platform to the cliff side to facilitate tourists to explore the waterfront heritage.

To solve the lack of functions caused by the outage of in dustrial infrastructure, a site reactivation strategy based on industrial experience and exploration is proposed.

Construct continuous visiting path to interlock surround ing contexts to provide a complete visiting path and dis play of complex historical background of the site.

Through the dislocation of blocks generated by the ar chitectural form, underground space is staggered to the coastal surface to enhanced sensory experience.

MATERIALITY

Strengthened contrast between old and new buildings. Construct sense of lightness through ex posed light steel structure.

Increase light transmission and the frosted U-shaped glass can also illuminate the indoor space while protecting the privacy of the living space.

TIMBER FAIR-FACED CONCRETE

Reduce maintenance costs and be suitable for specialization. Some Chinese characters will be hollowed out through the vertical wall to create Chinese environ mental features.

WATER ELEMENT USAGE

The use of water elements will be used as the roof of the under ground space to achieve natural lighting and avoid direct sunlight.

Timber will be used as interior walls to neutralize the “cold feel ing” of modern industrial mate rials, so as to achieve better ac commodation space.

STONE

Stone is the existing material of the site, it will interact with the site and reduce construction cost due to construction material tak en locally.

CHANNEL GLASS STEEL

LIGHTING DESIGN STRATEGY

Patios, Skylights, Slit Openings

The lighting strategy of indoor natural lighting is achieved by skylight and light court. In addition when the sun shines, the light passes through a ten-centimeter gap to form a light beam with obvious contrast between light and dark in the room, so the visi tors are guided on the path through light and shadow.

Choice of Building Materials - Timber Strips

The second lighting design strategy is to construct gaps be tween timber strips for light transmissions. In addition, when summer comes, people can selectively open or close the spacing of the timber strips; to avoid too much daylighting penetrate into the space, causing the greenhouse effect.

Materiality - U-Shaped Channel Glass

The third lighting design strategy is to achieve the purpose of passive lighting through materiality. Therefore, U-shaped chan nel glass is use for passive lighting and the continuity of the U-shaped glass on the façade is extended and combined with the parapet to replace the original fence on the roof, so as to achieve a purer architectural form.

Application of Water Element

Lastly, based on the principle of water refraction and reflection, the roof of the underground space is replaced with water surface to achieve the purpose of all-round lighting. At the same time, the placement of water also avoid direct sunlight to achieve a unique sparkling spacial experience and natural passive cooling effect of energy saving and carbon reduction.

CONSTRUCTION STRUCTURE

Steel Frame Structure

Through light steel structures, contrast between the old and new buildings is strengthened. It creates a sense of lightness through its exposed light steel structure. Finally, through the use of over head and light-transmitting materials on the ground floor of the building, when people look at the building from the site, it is like a light block suspended on the site, forming a strong visual con trast with the surrounding heavy and dim old buildings.

TONGJI CONSTRUCTION FESTIVAL

The task for all participating teams was to design and build a “Pavilion with Patio” for a micro community on a base area of 3 × 4 meter, using thirty polypropylene multi-skin sheets (150 × 150 × 0.5 centimeter) as a building material.

The design of the team from Tongji International Team was developed on site in two short design rounds. It convinced the jury with its clarity of design and structural quality: on an organic form, using RED PP plate sheet as connection point to replace bolt and construct opening to interlock the patio with the exterior. The 8-shaped arrangement of vertical elements created several ways of passing through the space, while the patio with its white-panel-clad walls and open ceiling formed the core of

STUDIO PHYSICAL MODELS

PHYSICAL MODEL

THE MUSIC BOX

This project is designed based on a given music sheet. As an architect, we come out with a series of rules to form our design. By using the music sheet, holes are created along the 48cm linear “core”, where the columns signify different pitches and the length of the gap represents the duration of the note. The outer skin is created by recording the music notes, except working horizontally and in a clockwise direction from C1. Each column represents single note, where the length of the gap signifies the duration, and the vertical position of the gap is determined by the pitch. The ‘rest’ notes have no gaps.

LIBRARY OF VALLEY

This library is a combination of a sphere and a semi-cylinder constructing the main zone of the library. Between those two geometric elements, there is an atrium surrounded by continuous book walls that are arranged from the ground to the top to bring the sense of a valley. Furthermore, on top of the library is an accessible roof with little Forrest for the visitor to take a rest and be close to nature.

ZIV’S TEA HOUSE

Ziv’s tea house covers an area of 18 square meters, with 2 walls, a bench, and a building height of 2.2 meters. It is located south of Shan Hao Wu’s garden surrounded by pedestrians, Pavillion, and faces toward the lake. Ziv designed the tea house by playing with the composition of walls and roof to create an open type tea house. Height-changing walls and the short tiny roof creates the illusion of multiple spaces and welcome the pedestrians to enter and spend their time here.
