RECENT EMPLOYMENT
Total Asset Management ServicesDraftsman
During my studies I worked for a local surveyor documenting major infrastructure works being constructed across several major subdivision expansions of Geelong.
In this role I used AutoCAD to diligently document ‘as constructed’ survey information and set up pro forma documents to streamline production of documentation.
Tract: Landscape Architects, Urban Designers, Town Planners Office Assistant
In 2011 I aided Tract in expanding their practice to include a Geelong office. During this period I was tasked with setting up digital and physical databases, conducting research into town planning archives, producing documents for meetings, and overseeing general administration. This experience has proved to be invaluable in acclimatising me to a professional environment and office protocols.

Human Tidal Power
3 retail story’s are suspended within a void which allows them to rise and fall, captur-ing the diurnal swing of building occupants. The weight of these occupants lowers the floors in turn transferring power to immense flywheels; providing electricity generation.
A Skin For All Seasons
A second facade of dynamic cladding wraps 3 faces of the building. Each chevron can independently rotate 360 °, one side trans-missive for Winter and the other polarised for summer. They can also be angled to sculpt
prevailing winds in Autumn & Spring.
Up-cycling Pollution
These chevrons both mitigate the harmful smog entering the building and harvest the elements within smog. Each chevron is composed of a living Aloe callus grafted onto artificial nanofibers. This call traps the Nitrogen & Sulphur whilst generating Oxygen.

Use Distribution
Biomimicry is not simply re-imagining natural forms into useful building types. The beehive, the ant colony, the termite mound are all dynamic elements. There is always building, expanding and adapting to meet the needs of the community. Organic architecture should then occur in another dimension; time. A growing, living building that provides a simple module for the individual to take ownership of.
Each cell is prefabricated off-site with the potential to recycle any materials the client may have. This cell is flat-packed and transported to site were it is assembled and plugged into the service core by “The Inserter”.
The easily relocatable cells ensure the building is inherently future-proof. In the event of global warming induced change the cells and steel structure may be easily transported to more favourable conditions leaving behind only a water tower.
Once the building has reached a critical mass of occupants, auxiliary cells specialising in food production or water storage can be bought by the community.

This building is an exercise in articulation of climatic systems. A brief released by Barwon Water & the EPA stated that they wished to engage public in their work through landmark architecture. Wherever possible systems have been externalised to evince the buildings character as a colossal organism.
The Barwon water offices are hugged by a ring of water. As the water falls down past the shaded northern facade it drops several degrees in temperature. It is then caught in an historic railway cutting and fed through the open foyer of the building. This provides natural evaporative cooling to mitigate the need for air conditioning. It is then pumped back up the south facade of the building and acts as a river through the rooftop garden.
Stack effect ventilation is used to compliment this system and is articulated in rooftop purges which aid efficiency. The east, north and western façades of the building are wrapped in individually operable external louvres, each controlled by the occupant directly behind, the public reads the building as a dynamic organism.

The chief maxim of Domus was to create a space that pays reverence to the landscape of Kakadu. The project manifests this in utilising vernacular materials, discarding inessential technologies and planning for the inevitable disintegration back into the landscape.
Climatic moderation in this complex is primarily achieved in the use of passive ventilation; harnessing the prevailing winds which skim across the lake from the north east. The shape of the building has been refined through fluid mapping to maximise airflow, as is evident in the raised two stage roof of the primary living area.
The disentegration is in four parts. First occupants pass the modern services as they leave the land and step onto the water. Second, they move through the central living space containing cooking and living facilities equivalent to that of European pioneers. Third, the huts become primal respites the vistors. Finally the complex falls apart completely, leaving only a few posts to maintain the thrust of the gesture.
