  • (INTERSECT) is a contemporary Replay centre located at the heartbeat of the infamous Shibuya 109 pedestrian crossing. This new design hosts the contemporary culture and lifestyle of the metropolitan community in ways that accommodate their current behavioural trends and the existing typology of the urban fabric. Research in Studio Selfish Gene 2.0 reveal that urban growth and technological advancements constantly changes the identity of the city. The only unchanging element of the city is its uninhabited spaces. embodies the paradox of permanent circulation. It is an agglomeration of the urban profiles (circulation, frontages and intersections samples) that generate opportunity spaces that

    reflect the trends and behaviour of the city.

    The union of these city components create opportunities to host activity spaces. Emerged void spaces are a reflection of the commonality that runs throughout the circulation-scape of Shibuya. Program spaces are not mutually exclusive but instead, have a resemblance in the way they function and engage with visitors. The crossing of circulation paths accentuates the excitement and Interaction that occurs in the public realm. There is a freedom in the expression of pop-culture individuality and subculture belonging.

    Overall, the faade of the replay centre frames the expression of the public dependence on Shibuya circulation spaces and how they intersect as a social centre to indulge in selfish interests and fantasy happiness. with

    MELBOURNE ARCHIVES

  • In a world full of culture, history, treasures, collections and heritage, reality becomes precious to mankind. It is a desire for many to keep items that fascinate, impress, or glorify individuals. It is a desire for some to take up the ownership of organising artefacts. They are called archivists.

    The place we live in is truly a mess; much of the things around us are disorganised, misplaced and unidentifiable. The new University of Melbourne Archives aims to serve as a place to synchronise the past for the future; encouraging easy access to its collection and engaging with the existing collective site.

    This design proposal for a new University of Melbourne Archive revolves around the idea the of organisation and its underlying harmony. It is derived from the understanding of how an archive works as a treasure chest of a spectrum of diverse items, information and precious pieces. From spatial relations, faade treatment, site context and even interaction with the existing buildings, there is a delicate desire to organise in every detail.

  • The robust cycle of culture and events shapes the current Brunswick suburbia. Over the years, individuals leave their own imprints on the urban landscape.

    This design proposal for a new Outr Gallery appreciates the history and memories of the site. It considers the details, from traditional detailing to spatial circulation. Working with the existing frame of the building, it is an eccentric obsession to keep the highlights and blemishes of the 4 shop houses. As the working grid is contested with the present load bearing walls, it creates intriguing spaces.

    The frame becomes the structural

    bones which emphasises the linearity of the shop; whereas the raw industrial panels, detailing and finishes play as an accompaniment to these frames.

    In essence, the private gallery spaces accentuate the uniqueness of the building frame while double heighted bookshop and reception area highlights the volume and remnants of the shop structure. Finally, caf interlocks the interior edifice with the outdoor extensions.

    This project is a marriage of new and old elements, offering a space for new ideas. It encourages creativity for an open and bare space invigorated with new functions.

    AIRnergy is a synergetic pedagogy that fosters a dialogue between wind energy generation and the community of Copenhagen and the greater world.

    DESIGN CONCEPTAIRnergy emulates the movement of wind through the meticulously structured form that not only captures wind but also generates new spectacles and vantage points along the infamous Kbenhavns Havn and its neighbouring structures. Refshaleen is a rich complex of creative entrepreneurships, warehouses, and cultural and recreational venues. The design site is grounded within a dilapidated reclaimed land. AIRnergy celebrates the weakness of the site with

    the potential of harvesting renewable energy through the flow of wind. Alongside the community people of Copenhagen, AIRnergy will propel towards a new era of Carbon Neutral social nomenclature.

    DESIGN EXPERIENCEA journey through AIRnergy will break the social stigma against the grim aesthetics and lack of efficiency of renewable energy generators. The division of spatial programs encompasses the intricacy of energy generation, the human context of joyous kinfolk, building activities, education and a display of technology. Through the articulation of different spatial qualities, three main functions will be executed; View, Play, Learn.

  • FABRICATIONWith the evaluation of the previous physical joint prototypes, a subsequent iteration of a fully parametric joint is scripted, accommodating for the same criteria of material thickness, diameter of axes and diameter of casement. The highlight of this version is the ability for the joints to facilitate horizontal and vertical flexibility whilst still firmly locked within the casement for LED and generator systems.

    CONCEPTThe elementary science behind each of these movable flaps involves wind-induced vibration due to the non-linear fluid flow and vortices around a flexible structure. The energy harvest device comprises, in one embodiment

    (each the triangular panel), an oscillating flap, a piezoelectric bender (transducer) and an energy convertor that converts the vibration of the oscillating element into direct current.

    The piezoelectric sheet benders are attached to the panel and are connected via a hinge that allows for rotation along the vertical axis. In wind conditions, the rotation of the flap about the bearing joint creates a modal flutter response and hence a vibration that is picked up by the piezoelectric benders connected to an energy convertor (full rectifier bridge) concealed within the joints between each triangular panel. The energy collected from the panels is stored in a generator and capacitor, during

    the night, the energy stored will be able to power the organic LED light panels attached to the joints between the triangle panels. The lights emitted from the panels sever a signpost even to distant urban dwellers of the real-time energy production on site.

    SIMPLICITYThe overall form is preserved as a basic linear cuboid which allows for a continuous unobstructed circulation around and within the building. The repetitive culture of building elements such as glass, steel frames and flooring are results of a modular design, allowing prefabrication, quick assembly, and easy repairs.

    SKELETAL STRUCTUREThe structural U beam UB 254x102x28 and UB 305x127x48 are exposed as an icon of strength and ownership onto the landscape without overpowering the tones of nature.

    OPEN PLANInternal partitions only present in service spaces to generate a pure visual connectivity throughout the building. The little concealment of spaces infers a natural order of hierarchy through accessibility.

    ILLUSIVE INTERIORInterior finishes are dynamic in shape to emulate the hill slope and river stream landscape. Small elements like ceiling, bar tops, partition walls and the operable faade emphasise the buildings potential to be exploited as an accommodation for rustication, decay, and various imperfections that will portray an on-going heritage.

    The proposed Studley Park Boathouse employs concepts of hierarchy and structure from Mies van der Rohe to innovate a modernist building which precedes from a culture of respect towards construction and nature.

    GUIDED CIRCULATION Users are subtly pushed towards the north and southern ends of the building when they intend to traverse from one space to another. Although an open plan, users will recognise future directions due to the accessibility and visual permeability of each space.

    MODERN MATERIALS A domestic idea of weathering and allowing nature to take its course becomes central in the design. Corten cladding, unpolished steel, wired mesh fences, rammed earths are among the selected materials that are readily available, prefabricated and inexpensive. Many resemble structural steel that is consistent in modern designs by Mies.

    HARMONY WITH LANDSCAPEDissimilar from Farnsworth house, the south faade of this Boathouse is embedded into the ground for an intimate connection with the natural environment.

    BARREN TEMPLATEThe purity of form accentuates the value of interior spaces and formulates an ordered interaction between users and the place.

    Unearthing Gallery is an audacious monument emerged from the long-standing conflict between Australian Aboriginals and White Settlers. The symbolic counter-position of the firm, grounded indigenous monolith and loose, lightweight timber rafted shelter creates a dialogue between the convoluted history and the current reconciliatory community.

    Craters are created on the surface of the moon by asteroids, comets and other cosmic rocks upon collision. The moon has no atmosphere that protects the surface from foreign matter and thus encourages an irregular, unappealing and rough exterior. Craters will vary in shape and sizes as velocity, materiality and surrounding environment changes.

    This design concept provokes the focus of the plasticine form. The final model adapts an organic shape that moulds with the body of its user, acting as a physical representation of the inner spirituality.

    The final artefact is a product of the compilation of ideas flowing from the

    original ideation. Although multiple alterations are implemented within the aesthetic form, the revolutionary creation has evolved tremendously in terms of performance and core ideas.

  • The design concept based on the tragedy of 1906 is derived from the desperate and creative measures taken by the fire fighters to contain the fires in the absence of conventional means of putting out fires. Prioritising the preservation of life, they resorted to the destruction of the city in an attempt to save it. Even though most of the city was still lost, the efforts taken to save it were commendable and the city has since been rebuilt bigger and better than before. The building form serves to emulate the efforts taken to resist the total destruction of the city, essentially fighting fire with fire, which later allowed for the healing of the urban fabric and development of the departments proficiency in protecting

    the city. The view of the building from the bridge evokes memories of the events of 1906 against the background of the city it is now, while the monumental front of the building seen from within the city gives its inhabitants a sense of comfort knowing they are well protected from the repetition of history. The integration of the headquarters into the city skyline gives the users of the building a sense of belonging in the society of which they play such an integral role, both in the past and the present.

    In this ongoing studio, Reinventing Southland, the current Southland shopping mall typology is challenged how it can be reconfigured architecturally, spatially, and in relation to its context through various kinds of formal interventions. This is done through the introduction of in doing so public programs within it and connected to it.

    Southland is considered in relation to the wider context of Cheltenham a traditional suburban retail centre nearby which is undergoing urban

    change. The current design adopts an appropriation of local suburban trends in the use of space and home ideals of comfort and shared spaces.
