Melbourne HUB

I've spent the last couple of weeks doing some work at the new Melbourne HUB. This has given me the opportunity to do some furniture building, fixtures and fittings and also a bit of detail design.











I designed and built these enclosures for the window boxes using offcuts from the tables. They are to cover the plastic tubs and also prevent them from falling.

Perkins Architects

At Perkins I used VectorWorks, the Adobe Suite, SketchUp and other programs for sketch design, town-planning and project documentation.










I found SketchUp a quick and useful tool for both town planning and client demonstration.

MESS: everyday babylon, Semester 1 2009

This studio was based around the theme of surburbia (Rowville) surviving into the future. Current suburban living cannot be sustained with predicted populations. The initial undertaking was a group Urban Mobility Strategy, which looked at how transport and zoning could be re-imagined.





On a zoomed-in level, I plotted the growth of a cluster of properties according to a fractal, reactive growth pattern until future collapse. This was based upon theory of the suburban psyche of putting on extensions and sheds when the need arises. I made architectural insertions in 2009 and 2032 and demonstrated how these could change the development over time and sustain a greater population and yield. These illustrations depict how this suburbia could be inhabited. With the different patches indicating how the space could be inhabited in different times.

THESIS

My book. 127 pages, and it looks pretty good. Thanks to my mum for the editing.




A short animation, that maps a possible growth into the future as a result of my intervention system. I used a physics plug-in (Kangaroo) that replicates real time forces, and ran out a scenario in Grasshopper.

lab Studio, Semester 1 2010.

This is a short video that demonstrates the variable creations of the parametric system. It was during this project that I taught myself Grasshopper.

Models For ARUP

The new train station and subway access at Springvale Road, Nunawading.



One of my models made a surprise appearance on ABC television. A catalyst special about the new rectangular stadium.



A SLA stereolithography model. I can't tell you what it is of though.
