A LITTLE BIT LEFT OVER

Major Project 2013

In the 1960s Geelong was the most industrialized city in Australia, today industries are closing and moving away from the city, leaving only the places that they inhabited as reminders. This project is about re-inhabiting, re-using and re-engaging with these industrial typologies- not dissimilar to OMAs masterplan for the Zeche Zollverein; this project is concerned with finding new meaning and purpose for infrastructure that has lost its relevance through disuse.

The disused and partially demolished cement factory is located on Geelongs fringe and like similar abandoned industrial sites demolition and more housing was planned. Instead the large scale and single purpose industrial infrastructure is reinterpreted into a series of education, cultural and recreation facilities to support the urban landscape that borders the site. As the cement works are located between suburbias outer edge and the beginning of industrial land, the proposal is also about engaging with that peripheral threshold condition of a city and the odd adjacencies that come with this.

Cedric Price argued for the making better rather than the overturning of existing social conditions. The conditions in this case would be the rapid growth of the city that has eaten into land once reserved for an industrial ring- creating a situation where the houses sit adjacent to the industrial site. This proximity and the unusual adjacencies that it creates are important and this proposal furthers this- facilitating closeness between residents and the processes that support a city.

So, like Prices Fun Palace- the site becomes a collage of the machine, ruin, monument and play in the process of redefining the citys industrial heritage, making it relevant through an architecture that engages with issues of the ruin and the redundant.

Above all, this proposal is about making the most of and valuing what is left over from a citys industrial past.

A series of the buildings are designed for education and research purposes, a collection of classrooms for art as well as research facilities. These spaces open and spill out into a communal space. The spaces are multi-functional- community based events can occur here.

Workshop spaces to expose visitors to the site to the processes of making.

The workshop spaces look out onto the football field and form a grandstand.

PRESHIL SCHOOL LIBRARY

A masterplanning stratergy informed the location of the new library at the front of the existing Preshil Senior School.

The choice of materials borrows from the brick dominated materiality of the surrounding buildings and the colour palette is taken from the trees on the site

SOCIAL and DESIGN ideas are achieved through careful consideration of site. This project began with a careful study of the positions, sizes and species of trees on the site. I looked at KEVIN BORLANDS school buildings on the junior school site that allow trees to grow around and through them. I was also lead by the Preshil philosophy of learning through play and this lead to a study of play- ALDO VAN EYKES series of play objects.

A series of tree platforms encourage the students to DIRECTLY ENGAGE with the trees through play.

CASTLEMAINE HOUSING

A small housing development in Castlemaine designed to respect and contribute to the existing community while making reference to the brick materiality of the historical civic buildings that surround it.

Designed to be a model for medium density housing, it is tucked behind a brick screen that shifts and changes along the streetscape providing the residents with moments of interaction with and moments of protection from the street.

MAKE ARCHITECTURE

As a student architect and now as a graduate I have been involved in a variety of projects at MAKE architecture.

I was involved in the Design, Town Planning and Contract Documentation of the House Reduction project (pictured) and was also responsible for the preparation of the presentation drawings.

The project received the HOUSES Sustainability Award and the BPN Sustainability Award in 2012.
