preface

This portfolio consists of a collection of my architectural work during my studies in the Bachelor of Environments degree at The University of Melbourne.

The projects portray the process of learning, self expression and development, through critical thinking and problem solving. The works explore various concepts, design briefs, processes of construction and complex systems, which are all bounded by architecture.

To me, architecture is to explore the possibilities of space and the potential interactions between humans and the built environment. We are developing into a society where obsolescence is the norm, therefore I believe architecture should not only be designed for today, but also for the future.

paper lantern

Virtual Environments explored the concept of virtual design through digitisation. Paper lanterns focused on the production of architecture at human scale, through the process of virtual interpretation to physical fabrication and modelling.The lantern reflects the natural process of snake skin shedding, which is then abstracted into a 3D panelled form. The process of digital design, explored the signifi cance of digitisation as a tool to enhance and manipulate analogue design and therefore 3D modelling tools act as a mediator between virtual and reality.

uom archives

Studio ‘Fire’ is broken into two correlating projects - an archive and a bookshop gallery. Both studios carried the same themes - Graffi ti, Palimpsest and Cabinets of Curiosities - and delved into the exploration of Brunswick’s culture of laneways and graffi ti.

‘UOM Archives’ is situated within the heart of the Brunswick community amidst other public amenities. Therefore the design played with civic characters in an urban context that reflects Brunswick. The process of pushing and breaking the boundary, it creates a space that encourages interaction and transition between the public and the private. The fracturing creates pockets of openings that act to provide a sense of curiosity through the exchanging of views - internally and externally. This engagement of the archives with the public, challenges the notion of anonymity and dormancy stereotypically associated with archives.

outre gallery

The current Outre Gallery principally sells art, which they consider as ‘alternative, lowbrow and pop surrealism’, as well as published books related to quirky topics. This project focuses on expanding and consolidating the Outre brand as a bookshop, cafe, gallery space that ties in with the juxtaposing Archives project. The same themes as the Archive are explored, however at a smaller scale, focusing on the interior of the spaces and the furniture.

The design of Outre Gallery delves into the concept of graffi ti in Brunswick, which is then portrayed at a smaller scale through the blurring of spaces by ‘playing’. Static spaces (amenities) are defi ned by enclosed rooms, whereas flexible spaces are determined by open plan.

The cabinets are designed to be stacked on or removed from the floor, hung on the walls and suspended from the ceiling to create an atmosphere for every space, hence enhancing the sense of blurring when moving through the spaces.

construction design

This subject explores the process of building conception, documentation to construction and building implementation.

A building’s section was documented at a 1:20 scale model with an A1 1:20 axonometric and 1:2 scale details. The project explores the relationship between architectural drawings and documents, with real-life construction and connection of materials and structural systems.

This subject also explores the different disciplines that work within the construction industry that are required within the process of building implementation - land surveyor, geotechnical engineer, contractor, client.
