Leo Cooper is a fresh, up and coming, enthusiastic graduate Architect. Born in South Africa, he has proudly made Australia and Adelaide home.
The son of a graphic designer, Leo developed a deep respect and appreciation for design at a young age. His interest in art and design matured later into a fascination for the bend of function and aesthetic architectural design offers.
An alternative High schooling focused on a holistic education furthered expanded his interests feed Leo’s taste for art, design and architecture. Leo’s natural curiosity fostered by an alternative education provided a steppingstone into the bachelor of Design Studies at the University of Adelaide.
At the University of Adelaide Leo completed his Bachelor of Design Studies in 2010 and a
Masters of Architecture in 2012, finishing in the top percent of his year. The University of Adelaide’s strong academic focus has shaped Leo’s architectural imagination and design thinking, giving him a strong grasp of design history and theory, grounded in a firm understanding of construction techniques and materials.
Leo’s work reveals an understanding of architectural design’s history and an eagerness to participate in its strong future. Leo is preoccupied by finding new ways of strengthening the role of architectural design within South Australia for himself and the profession. His vision is a more interesting design rich future for South Australia’s urban centres.

Multimedia
Film and TV is my favourite guilty pleasure, though I have dabbled in making a couple of short films, requiring that I become proficient in a range of multimedia skill. This includes poster design, visual effects, project pitching, graphic design and project management.
DesignA BA in Design has polished my graphic design skill to a shiny golden yellow. My appreciation for good graphic design has grown over this time and I still look forward to the moment when everything clicks perfectly into place, leaving a breath-taking finished product.
ArtArt history and art culture excites me and motivates me. I believe art is a culture building public endeavour which can be used to enliven people’s lives. For me discovering an unexpected public installations hidden in my cities rich urban fabric excites me as much as viewing a classic painting in a museum.

Islington Future Living | Kilburn
Conceptually the design can be understood as a transient being, always changing, growing and shrinking, pulsating with life. The life of the city is it’s people who inhabit modules which plug into the Islington Angles framework and enjoy the freedom of being part of a national network which is accessible by hooking the module onto a interstate train and riding it to the new site Node.

RAIL TRANSPORTATION
Hindley Street Mixed Use | Adelaide
Retail opportunities on street level maintains the Hindley street urban atmosphere and a commercial and residential response above street level take into account the urban fabrics of the pricinct. The project aims to improve pedestrian accessibility through the precinct and promote pedestrian links to public transport, educational facilities and entertainment.
The point of departure for this scheme was to reconcile the need of the city with pragmatic concerns of the client and city council. It was important the project provided some form of north-south connection, which would unify the cities eastern learning campuses. Secondly the area of the site would need to be maximized.

The pattern intersects, breaks through and disrupted the full volume of the allocated space, enriching and shaping an important fragment of the cities fabric. The resulting broken spaces become office spaces and retail opportunities, in this way the project is meant as a challenge to the uniformity of the typical Adelaide development.

BREAK THROUGH CONCEPT
Hart’s Mill Media Institute | Port Adelaide
This project began with a gathering of site impressions and the essence of its identity and the translation of this information into a three dimensional ink blot. This process allowed for a rigorous investigation of the formal analogies and identities present in the ink and an eventual layering of these identities on top of each other to produce multiple readings of the buildings ‘Identity’. The ambiguity of the reading of the building allows is meant as a reflection of the multicultural identity of South Australian culture.To deepen the dialogue between site and institution the form was combined with a perceived pre-existing conditional form.

Facade Treatment
Animated pints along the street edge of the building are programed to create3d images created by students. The movement creates ever changing showsand the motion could be calibrated for increased environmental confort.The Idea is to deform the outer skin of the building, creating ambiguity to the geormetrical shape of the building, its idenity.
