“We may not amount to anything more than a single drop in a limitless ocean.

Yet what is an ocean but a multitude of drops.”

-The Cloud Atlas

AN INTRODUCTION My name is Lawson Heah (sometimes under the alias of Rawrson). Born in

Perth, Western Australia - I’ve grown up in a sleepy town devoid of all that is avant garde. The most exhilarating thing happened when I moved to Melbourne at the beginning of 2013 to study Architecture (In my 3rd Year), which exposed me to the real world and a fast pace, forefront environment.

What surprises me about good Architecture is its ability to not only satisfy the need of its occupants but to create evocative attributes which allow one to feel emotionally stimulated beyond mere acknowledgment. Some statistic I remember from somewhere stated we spend 90% of our time indoors which would mean that buildings dictate the way we produce in our lives and our need for good environments. My interest spans from this to a need for emotive qualities, particularly elements of patterning, light and tension systems.

Outside of the field I am an avid alcoholic (a lover of a good Pinot Noir), Gym Junkie, Party goer, Hot Yoga hipster enthusiast, Foodie (yes I do brunch) and lazy Artist into the complexity of the Art scene (#MarinaAbramovic).

THE JHANA

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, eos saepe scriptorem ne, ei sea maiorum tibique.

Studio Fire acted is the final studio of the program and acted as a consolidation of design.

The design asked how the dispersed special interest groups of the brief could solve the problems in 2045 of rising mental health issues in which the building would facilitate recovery and away to treat these problems. By looking at the roots of some of these groups ideas the design moved towards a spiritual theme.

In response to the design development, the buildings main programs revolve around the central idea of an architectural metaphor of a bodhi tree which acts as an element of humble monumentality and spiritual healing. This is further reinforced by the circulation of the building which

promotes circumambulation around the atrium trunk from the ground up into the lightness of the upper floors, providing a visual and metaphorical cathartic journey of self reflection in the process.

The term “Jhana”originates from Pali which is sacred to Buddhism as its main written language. It describes the meditative absorption state in which one mind thinks and mediates, as well as its obvious relations of religion to the design its connection with how the mind can be at peace through design acts as a way to solve such issues of mental health in the future.

BUDDHISM IS ONE OF THE FIVE MAJOR RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD THAT LOOKS

AT THE CORE IDEA OF HOW ONE CAN ACHIEVE ENLIGHTENMENT THROUGH SELF IMPROVEMENT AND A HUMBLE APPROACH TO LIFE AS A WAY TO ESCAPE THE SUFFERING PROCESS OF REINCARNATION.

CENTRAL TO THE IDEA OF BUDDHISM IS THE SYMBOL OF THE BODHI TREE WHICH THE DESIGN MIMICS. THIS PLAY CAN BE SEEN THROUGH ELEMENTS SUCH AS THE ROOTS WHICH CREATE A FOREST OF COLUMNS THAT CLING TO THE 8 METER HIGH CEILINGS AND FALL AT VARYING HEIGHTS PLAYING WITH VISIBILITY MONUMENTALITY AND CHAOS. MOVING TO THE CENTRE OF THE ATRIUM ONE IS OPENED TO THE IMMENSE HEIGHT THAT WAS HIDDEN BY THE COLUMNS, OVERWHELMING THOSE WHO EXPERIENCE IT WITH VISUAL, HUMBLE MONUMENTALITY AND VERTICALITY AS THE EYE TRAVELS UP THE TRUNK OF THE 30 METER HIGH ATRIUM. AT THE ROOF ONE IS ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THE BRANCHES OF THE ELEMENT AFTER CIRCUMAMBULATING THE FLOORS, WHERE THE COLUMNS FALL OVER THE EDGE OF THE BUILDING ENCAPSULATING AND HOLDING ITS OCCUPANTS WITHIN ITS LUSH FOLIAGE CONTRASTING THE URBANITY OF THE CITYSCAPE.

FLIP2 : The modular pop-up store

The brief called for a bookstore that occupied a 2m x 2m space which could

be built within two days under the budget of $1000 using Knauf materials.

In abiding by these provocative constraints we decided on a design a bookstore which used modularity and flexability to engage and visually stimulate users. The popup store could be adjusted to fit the required products through a flexible shelving system attached to a modular grid support.

What the competition taught us was how design does not always turn out without change. It also showed the importance of construction schedules, resourcing and dealing with budget and other surprises such as OHS and skilled labour. The construction

process was also very challenging within the short period given as well as the challanges of incorporating materiality without proper understanding.

The design was judged according to 4 cafeterias1. Innovation

Demonstrate innovative use of Knauf product that challenges the status quo.

2. Functionality

Demonstrate exceptional design that is functional and serves a purpose.

3. Design aesthetic

The visual appeal of the finished design

4. Knauf Material

Use one or more of the following Knauf products within the design: Stratopanel Heradesign, Permarock or Designpanel.

02

The program of a the design transitions a temporary state of permanency into one that is always in a state of flux and change. Mobility becomes a perk that allows modularity and

transportability to define a unique approach that differs with each assemblage and arrangement. In this essence form is complimented and defined by the functionality of its qualities. We present Flip2.

This established concept was translated to use the materiality to its full advantage by providing an efficient use of Knauf’s Permarock which provides an edge of solidarity and stability needed to structurally cater for the design. Its 2400mm x 1200mm (13mm thick) panels defined the modulation sizing to an anthropomorphic dimension. Eight of these panels are custom perforated and hinged connected on their longest side to allow compact transportation and set up of the store. In dividing the panels to form a relationship, one is able to form a simple shelving system with a perceived level of complexity that drives the aesthetic value of the function. These shelves hang on stable metal pegs that are bolted into the perforated panels and sit compacted together for extra rigidity. Whether or not all the shelves are filled its modulation becomes a photogenic experience.

TO REDEFINE A POPUP STORE...

Following a relationship of compatibility the modular compartments range from large to small profiles to cater for

various items the store may display as well as to add a perceived complexity to a standardized system.

A hinge system allows the modular spaces to be compacted down for ease of assembly and transportable pieces.

COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN

The course focuses on the ideas revolving around Computational Architecture, Parametricism and Digital fabrication through tools such as Grasshopper and its many associated plug-ins

Computational Architecture requires an alternative approach to design thinking. In a way, it challenges social norms and conventions by bringing together the disciplines of conception and construction which have long been separated resulting in the constraints brought about by limited knowledge and construction conventions8.

In bringing design and fabrication back together, computational methods could mean a more successful understanding and implementation of design not only through changed design thinking which flows through digital modeling and algorithmic thinking, but also through architecture that could change the role of the architect (Design Futuring). In learning about this I now see designers closer to facilitators rather than creators with the possibility of one day Architects merging with Engineers.

The design will revolve on producing an initial colony of Azolla which is able to grow to a moderate level in

to which a selected virus neutralizes the Azolla’s ability to grow (ensuring the azolla does not overtake the plants it fertilises). This infection makes its way around as new Azolla is grown and the neutralsied azolla is harvested. This in theory and through computational modeling produces an infinite cycle for which the azolla grows, dies and is harvested.

THE BENEFITS OF SUCH A LIVING, PROPAGATING, CYCLIC DESIGN

EDUCATIONALTo be able to educate students and the public about the benefits of the plant and its super properties that have the potential to improve the world.

SCIENTIFIC MONITORING AND TESTINGAzolla and its potential to be implemented on a global scale as well as a study on genetic modification and cellular automata.

ECONOMICALCheap natural fertilizer that would pay of the research and funding in the long run or if mass production begins to occur

ENVIRONMENTALReduction of CO2 emissions and the reduction on fossil fuel use via the Haber Process

In relation back the Merri Creek and the Yarra River, the design blends-in/is nature in a respectable and nurturing way that gives back and improves. It uses computational propagation as a tool that defines how the plant should grow by introducing specific constraints and predicting the future growth.

MASTER INSPIRED BOATHOUSE

This subject takes on a traditional approach to architecture which involves designing using the

style and elements of a master through precedents and diagramming in a poetic lens of symbolism and meaning.

The site analysis defined many aspects of the design such as the themes, composition and emotional response. One of the most important defining aspects of the site is nature and its contrast to urbanity and the manmade.

From the analysis my design would revolve around five main formal ideas of the architect Alvaro Siza :

• Approach to architecture as an art form

• Framed views

• Dramatic contrast in form from different view points

• Procession + ending

• Integrated monumentality.

•

Nature is a highly emphasized aspect of the design which calls for a “humble” building in the monumental manner of Siza. In order to achieve this outcome the separation of facilitates into two buildings allows for subtle urban

presence whilst still allowing user the full experience of nature with vegetation positioned to hide the buildings.

The idea of procession is a strong element within Siza’s designs. In incorporating the theme, a human experience is produced which emphasises the beauty of the build and unbuilt realm through areas of interest. Appreaciation results from this design intent.

Voids in the front facade of the main building mimic the framing of views through foliage patterning which was inspired by the interesting gradations of excitement as one saw the bridge through the trees. It also plays with light and shadows through the subtracted voids combining Siza’s ideas of light, composition and views from my own personal style.

Beech timber is used because of Alvaro Siza’s appreciation of local building materials as well as the typology of Australian architecture. A lighter timber was ideal because it fits in with the washed out Australian landscape whilst still retaining a light tonality and warmth.

ANALYSE, MODEL, ANALYSE

The subject expands on previous experiences from other constructing

subjects. It is a continuation of Construction Analysis which teaches the processes involved in constructing a conventional building from early site works to the finishing state. Here we are taught to think

as an independent and to seek out WHY a structure exists in such a state through an axonowmetric drawing and making of a 1:20 scale model showing the processes involved.

A PLACE FOR KEEPING SECRETS.

Secrets are things hidden from others, shrouded with mystery. Its knowledge is

shared to only the privileged and initiated - those whom your are comfortable sharing with. The Secret Fortress has risen, from the meanings associated with pillows and developed to a place for secret keeping. Pillows are objects that one uses to feel comfortable and protected, covered with sheets and used to induce sleep and rest. Deriving from the idea of the pillow and its representation of comfortable and consolidating qualities, the design drew inspiration from pillow forts as a form of vernacular architecture. The draping of bed sheets over the pillows developed into the

lightwell. Its form allows light into the central core maintaining a comfortable atmosphere illuminating the beautiful entanglement. Further expanding the idea, the pillow fort lead to the researching of fort structures and the parapet in which the outer covering loosely originates from. The fort also represents secrets and protection of what lies behind its mysterious walls.

TURN CONVENTIONAL INTO ENVIRONMENTAL

The environment demands to be taken care of, and as architects it is our responsibility

to ensure that the buildings we create are good habitable spaces that help not only its occupants but the environment.

This assignment focuses on how to turn a conventional buildings from its plans to something of the highest sustainable design through the use of active and passive systems, orientation and arrangement of spaces and windows.

It also looked at how systems within the building such as gas, electricity, waste and water are arranged and transported around

the house. How to gain maximum efficiency with design using programs such as Green Star and how to calculate the optimum of things such as insulation and photo-voltaic cells are examples of useful environmental calculations.

THE SECOND SKIN : FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

The design agenda was to create a second skin that explores and protects the

boundaries of Personal Space, after an intial study of construction systems such as Skin and Bone whilst using technology such as Rhino, Grasshopper and Computational fabrication

FEAR: PRECEDENTWe used the ideology and theme of “Fear” to constrain and produce our design.

Fear is effective as it changes position from defensive to offensive, providing power and dominance. This creates a reaction of insecurity around the feared protecting their personal space - as they are a threat.

The design process expanded from a single point which concentrated and matured into

the final design piece around the arm, and a hinge pulley system that would allow the wearer to activate spikes. The system is hidden provoking a “Fear of the Unknown” as to what lies beneath.

Juxtaposing the design to the fabricated product, it is easy to recognize the ideas conveyed even though the moving segments and motion are not obvious in these still images. It invites the surrounding people to investigate in curiosity, but at the same time keep a distance in fear of the unknown whilst providing an aesthetic and intricate appeal with an effect produced having a strong relaitonship and similarity to the bugs under the skin effect of Stephen Sommers “The Mummy”.
