INTER-EDUCATEA PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL IN SYDNEY’S CBD

HONOURS DESIGN AND RESEARCH PROJECT 2015

The absence of a Public High School within Sydney’s CBD presents an opportunity to chal-lenge the current education system and design a 21st Century, metropolitan school that will translate existing high school pedagogies into relevant tectonics and spaces for learning.

The school’s inherent interaction with the city opens up the greater task of urban design. The chosen site aims to respond to the surrounding urban fabric of the city by enhancing broader spatial connections and reactivating neglected public spaces to create an interior where the school and the public can begin to interact. The relationship between the buildings of the school and the use of the negative space between them will embody deeper connections within an updated curriculum that aims to provide a more holistic and interdisciplinary ap-proach to education.

The blurring of thresholds between buildings will exaggerate the fluid nature of the circulation and library spaces that weave through all buildings, physically and visually connect-ing them. These spaces will serve as the main platform for this interaction between disciplines and the buildings them-selves and will become the main learning spaces.

EXPOSE // SUBTRACT // REVEALCENTRAL STATION RETHINK

FINAL DESIGN PROJECT 2014

Sydney’s Central Station sits high above its’ surrounding streets and spaces, lacking both horizontal and vertical connectivity between different parts of the station and the city itself in a broader context. Through the large scale removal of programs and walls that make up the basement level of the building, leaving only columns and other structural elements, a new thor-oughfare is created. Spanning the entire footprint of the building, this intervention will expose the beauty of the existing building whilst also unclogging it at ground level. The resulted ‘ruin’ of Central reclaims these currently underutilised spaces for the public, providing a huge number of potential public spaces and programs that will enhance the connection to the spaces that sur-round the building. The introduction of a habitable staircase that landscapes the area will greatly improve access to the main concourse and all transport facilities.

LIGHTING THE GLOBAL WORKSPACESYDNEY PROPOSAL

DESIGN COMPETITION 2014BERLIN WORKSHOP FEBRUARY 2015

Zumtobel Lighting GroupANCB: The AEDES Metropolitation Library, Berl in

The ATP Innovations Office is situated in a heritage listed warehouse in Eveleigh, an old indus-trial district just south of Sydney’s Central Business District. Because of its’ heritage status, the facades and original elements of the building cannot be altered. The current 3 storey fit out of the originally 2 storey warehouse is designed to maximise the total volume of the building whilst severely compromising the access to natural light as the floors do not line up with the windows. Within the open plan layout, the proposed office space is divided into different zones de-fined by furniture, lighting and materials. Employees and visiting entrepreneurs will be able to chose from a variety of workspaces tailoring their lighting to the type of work being conducted through the use of an interactive lighting application. Natural light will be integrated with artifi-cial light to assist in the employees well-being, work ethic, comfort and productivity. General lighting levels will adjust regularly to help achieve an effective balance between natural and artificial light as it changes throughout the day. Colour temperatures will also mimic that of the natural light.

HONG KONG // SHAM SHUI POA STUDY OF DENSITY WITHIN THE CITY OF HONG KONG

HONOURS GLOBAL STUDIO PROJECTHong Kong Polytechnic UniversityUniversity of Technology, Sydney

Hong Kong is among the most densely populated regions in the world. Residents of Sham Shui Po have to maximise their use of public space and infrastructure in order to escape their cramped living quarters. Being one of the poorest districts in Hong Kong, many people permanently occupy spaces that are less than two square metres in area. Due to these tight spatial restrictions, the social spaces that normally occur inside dwellings are pushed out onto the streetscape and into the public realm to form layers upon layers of shared public space. Laneways and streets are overrun by residents, markets and food stalls, the threshold between public and private space constantly shifting and often ceasing to exist.

GALLERY // COLLECTOR’S RESIDENCETHE STREETSCAPE AND RECIPROCITY

THIRD YEAR DESIGN 2014

The ‘streetscape’ can be understood as a transitional space that divides the public and private realms. It can also be defined as the ‘delineating zone’ between an individual and society. The inherently public and private nature of the streetscape is founded in the facade that physical-ly separates the two realms. The facade is a formal representation of this co-existence and co-dependence. These zones can be examined in relation to surrounding structures that create opposing boundaries, forming the negative space and perhaps informing its’ programs. The need for a facade is perhaps an obligation to create this division between public and pri-vate. This relationship of reciprocity enables the individual owner to view the public space from within their home whilst also exerting their influence over the ‘common space’ or streetscape. The coexistence of the Gallery and Collector’s Residence seeks to embody this voyeuristic reciprocity between the individual and the streetscape beyond the facade. Using the interrupt-ed grid of Manhattan as a precedent, the main hall of the Gallery/Residence creates a point of intersection where these two programs begin to overlap.

42 PINE STREETADAPT AND REUSE OF CHIPPENDALE WAREHOUSE

THIRD YEAR DESIGN 2014

The relationship between two or more programs can be viewed as a push/pull force that either denotes, divides or blurs thresholds. The location of the old warehouse on 42 Pine Street, in a primarily residential area, has the potential to be developed into a large public facility that can combine several programs and contribute to the local area as a place of education and leisure. The proposal encompasses cafe and retail spaces, a cooking school and functions area and has been developed from conception to detail. It includes a central void that opens up a great-er sense of connectivity between levels and programs as one can look directly into another.
