4 Peter Zumthor described architectural spaces with his senses. It was evident that people’s memories are shaped by their knowledge and senses. Interestingly, memories are often not exactly the same as the reality. One remembers moments instead of an entire space experience. In this case, our memories are those key moments together with own imaginations. People’s memory can be deconstructed into moments or serials of scenes. Creating memories will be compositing those moments and create gaps to allow imaginations.

St Kilda in the 1920s has defined itself through the erection of a pleasure land which was full filled with entertainment.

The Palais Theatre and Luna Park symbolized the vibrancy of the site. Memories of St Kilda was captured at those moments. It prompts me to question what are the moments that define St Kilda in the Modern Age? How would our future generation remember St Kilda?

Space Field

Disconnected Field

Learning from the modern gallery spatial organization, I have realized that fragmented and chaotic spaces coordinate better with modern metropolitan lives. St Kilda triangle should be a place of joy and freedom. The design approach of galleries can be applied to the entire site.

Individual built forms will have indirect connections between one and other, but it will create attractions between the spaces to encourage people to navigate.

Modern Gallery

The project aims to recap the iconic scenes and redefine the local culture through the architectural space. It will maintain and strengthen the locality and interrelationships of landmarks in the context. Without disturbing the site culture, it will build on the entertainment features of St Kilda through its spatial quality and formation process. The project will represent the featured elements on site into a playful approach to create delight memories.

The featured elements include the classical architectural language of dome or arches, the astonishing view of Esplanade, the amusing fluctuation of the Luna Park roller coaster and the culture of bathing.

Domes on the site Different types of dome were found on the site.

The mixture of classic dome and oriental onion dome creates a sense of amusement.

It emphasizes the importance of entertainment at St Klida.

6 In ‘Culture of Congestion’, Rem Koolhaas attacks the problem of pleasure with same technological means without the seriousness. The gallery spaces should be promoting contemporary digital art in addition to traditional physical artworks. ACMI and Digital Gallery provides wide space which allows isolated VR experience or AR display. Such spaces could be customized to fit different scales and format of exhibitions.

It then brings in new art forms to keep activating the site.

Attractions Places that attracts pedestrians.

Transport Circulation Access by cars, trams and other vehicles.

Walkability Cut out pathways to allow users to walk through the site.

Insert Domes Use domes as influential factors to manipulate site contours.

Dome Space System

The domes fit in to the column grid, overlapping two different sizes dome without disrupting the columns.

Cut surface according to the connectivity diagram to form the rooftop geometry.

Connected composition

The domes touches the edge of a conventional column, four intersecting domes form connected spaces.

Identify area to allow sunlight. Space do not need light will be cut.

Open composition

Genrate ceilling holes according to the level of neccesity of naturallight.

Open space may remove every second column of the structure, the dome uses the second column as space center which creates more fluent space.

They could bring in indirect sunlight for space that requires natural light.

They also provide projection surface for exhibitions.

Flow Create flow of circulation that contiuous vertically.

Space Interation

At the back of the palais, the multi-level building is providing a mix use space. It integrates library, exhibiton, gallery, art and craft workshop in a continuous space.

View Preservation

View Identify key view towards the horizon, Stokehouse, Pier and gardens.

Light Penetration Strategy

The building will provide maximized sea view without block 80% of the esplanade view.

7 The project converts conventional elements of the1 original site to a land of amusement which is an extension of the memorable St Kilda features. The2 site allows a highly free circulation which allows people to determine their own experience and3 generate individual memory of the site. While building a unique experience of the gallery spaces, people will rethink about architectural entertainment4 from a contemporary perspective.The new spaces incorporate a group form which allows people to5 select their preferred elements to create a customized memory by their self-determined visiting routines.6

9 STUDIO 15: Machine Aesthetics The Light Skirt

10 In this project, the aim is to renovate the building envelope of Nicholas Building on Swanston St. The project brief allowed for 40%-60% alternations on the existing heritage facades. The envelope should address social and environmental issues of the building in 2030. Our response demonstrates that envelope can achieve more than merely aesthetically attractive. It could act as a media for communicating with the urban context and inviting public visitors. The programme of the building was not only dependent on the interior design. The envelope in our project introduced a blurred boundary between exteriorand interior spaces. The atrium also emphasized on vertical interactions of Nicholas Building. Each floor is no longer introverted. In term of fabricating the building component, our team developed a machine base on traditional building technique from Phillips Pavilion. Our flexible formwork for casting achieved improvements on cost, labor and time-saving. The machine provides reusable formwork that can provide ruling surface panels in adjustable scale and angles.

11

We have noticed that many art studios and craft shops have their own workshop running in the building. Some of them are interrelated.

In 20 years, we would like to draw more connections between the business and workshops to further emphasize the social relationships in the building. Light Skirt could be representative of a hybrid system of craft design and digital technology. It is specifically designed for Nicholas Building in Melbourne. However, the customized panels can be applied to any other buildings in anywhere of the world. It maintained locality of architecture while the systematic building and fabrication technique can be easily

duplicated and re-applied.

Our design implemented the idea of mas customization. The panel fabrication system allows better performance in social and environmental features. In this project, we had improved on natural light access, stack ventilation and facade aesthetic.

The customized panels could be widely applied in many other cases, such as blocking direct sunlight, acoustic performance, and thermal performance. The system contains great potential. Possibilities may be further explored in future projects.

14 STUDIO 31: F.A.M.L.Y The project is deisgned to accomendate 160 family units with average 100 square meter indoor area and 20 square meter balcony. It is also a multi-functional building as the podium includes childcare center, supermarkets, cafe, library, retail shops, gym, yoga and swimming pool. There are communal recreation rooms distributed every four or five levels to create vertical villages experience.

Residence can get accessed to the roof top restaurant and bar on the twentith floor.

Units are adapted to long term family democracy changes.

It provides opportunites to optimise the use of every space.

This building aims to provide a renovated way of high-rise living. It creates a soft image to the pedestrains with its curved form and vegetation

facade. It introduces a sense of liveness with the variation of the plants on difference facade and seasons.

Residences are connected by the balconies. It provide a chance to meet the neighbour like people have chances to meet at their front yard in the suburbs.

18 Tectonic Ground: Interactive White Night Installation

The project is a group work where I was particularly responsible for mechanical and movement design. The installation will response to people’s motion by ultrasonic sensors.

It brings the beauty of jellyfish to our light festival. The digial jellyfishes were exhibited in Ballarat White Night.
