2014Application to Monash University

Prior to applying to Monash, I was required to do a pre-selection activity that addressed some local

concerns that I had.

I chose to review the annoying speedbumps in the local area as I live across a school, which seemed

rather pointless outside of school hours.

2014Copying an Architect

One of the earlierassignments was about

copying the style ofan architect. I choseMorphosis for their

rather unique contrastin their drawings.

They also combined thesection and plan in theirdrawings and made use

of depth in elevations.

2015Communications 2

This was a two part project which included the 3-D Modelling on Rhino of the BMW Dynaform andthen the 3-D Printing of a section of that same one.

The 3-D Modelling included the use of Grasshopperfor Rhino to modify the BMW Dynaform usingmaths and coding.

It also helped to recreate the BMW Dynaform’scomplex structure

2015Concrete Dreams Studio

The Concrete Dreams Studio was based on the repurpose ofthe Fyansford Concrete Silos into community driven buildings.

It included designing a set of apartments, o�ces and a gallery space.

2015The Sound Shell Project is an ongoing project at Monash University, where construction of a stage for bands to perform in has beenin development for over two years.

The project is being worked on by quali�ed engineers,student architects and quali�ed architects. Only a few student architects o�ered to help out onthe construction of the project as all of the programwas volunteering based and often required workingheavily through the study breaks to help out withthe development.

The construction was in �ve parts: Steel, Timber,Foam Moulds (using a robot arm) and Corian.

My contribution saw me working in Greensboroughto complete the Corian pieces as well as assemblingthe Foam Moulds and Steel parts at Monash.

The project is looking to be complete by early October,ready for the �nal weeks of the semester.

Big West studio is in conjunction with the Big West Festival,taking place in Footscray. The Festival looks at addressing some

of the socio-economic problems that hinder the community.

This speci�c house is to be used as an example of the a�ordablearchitecture that would be avaliable to the underprivilaged in

Footscray and other towns across Melbourne.

The studio looks at questioning how much furniture can become a part of architecture, and where the line is drawn between

furniture and architecture. My Contribution was working on thestructural elements of the house (working on Rhino) where I

communicated with the rest of the group to �gure out how wewould make the project work together.

Once the construction of the house was �nished I was given thetask of addressing how the stairs and storage areas would work

in terms of a�ordability and function.

2015Big West Studio (Ongoing)

The stairs that my group developed ended up becoming a design where stairs could be moved around, repurposed as storage either inside or outside, repurposed as seating and tables as well as being

stackable on top of each other to create di�erent spaces and heights throughout the room.

2015Wearing the City (Beginning)

The ‘Wearing the City’ is entering its second year, last year it was on o�er however I did not take the opporunity to do so however this year I grasped at the opportunity.

The program is only in its second week so not much in terms of the project has been addressed so far, however last years work was a very interesting display of art and architecture combined.

The concept behind Wearing the City is simple. A building is chosen and the ornamentation, style and any other important factors are copied onto a wearable and possibly fashionable piece of clothing. There

is then a photoshoot with the model being displayed in the clothes that were designed infront of the building the clothes were inspired from, to create a �ow between the architecture and the model.

Some of last years works:
