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.
