This portfolio is a collection of works that have have been undertaken during the Bachelor of Environments as well as a summer course at the Architecture Association.The process of developing each of these projects from initial concept to documenting have had significant impact on my personal process of designing and thoughts behind what is involved in architecture.

RESUME
001|Barlow MotorsThe capstone project of the Bachelor of Environments degree required for a car showroom to be designed around the central character of A.G. Barlow. The reputation that Barlow has built for himself as a result of his past personal and business life served as inspiration for the possibilities of the new Barlow Motors car showroom. University of Melbourne 2012Studio Leader: Derham GrovesTutor: Larry Cirillo
001| Barlow Motors
Barlow motor's business in selling mini coopers have inspired the architecture behind the Barlow's latest car dealership. Influenced by the popular proportions of the mini cooper - a small but spacious car - the building attempts to encapsulate similar ideas which are translated into its form. The spaciousness of the car is afforded by the front wheel engine arrangement,a feature that has been maintained ever since its beginning. A similar arrangement is adopted within the building where services of the building such as stairs, lifts and toilets are classified as the engines of the building and thus are placed towards the edges and centre of the building - symbolizing the two front wheels and engine. In addition, the footprint of the building also aims to follow the proportions of the cooper whereby it appears small to the passerby but the interior consists of large open spaces. The overall design of the building is a combination of ideas that are meant to symbolize the progression of car dealership architecture - beginning from the early 1900's to current car dealership typology.

002|Gateway for Wyndham City The focus on for this project was to introduce the possibilities of parametric design through the process of replicating, fabricating and finally using those skills de-veloped to create a parametrically designed structure. University of Melbourne 2012Studio Leader: Stanislav RoudavskiTutor: Dave Lister & Jerome Frumar
002| Gateway for Wyndham CityExploration and Fabrication of Parametric Design
The fabricated voronoi patterns were subjected to various experimentations to explore the different effects that are made possible by this form. Experimentations involved bending, freezing and different lighting conditions.

002| Gateway for Wyndham CityExploration and Fabrication of Parametric Design
Initial explorations into parametric design were achieved by replicating a previous case study, specifically, the Airspace Tokyo by Faulder Studio. The pattern was recreated through Rhino&Grasshopper using the voronoi component that were driven by a set of points previously mapped on rhino. Variations of voronoi curves were created in layers and overlapped to form a three dimensional form.

002| Gateway for Wyndham City
Wyndham's motto of City.Coast.Country forms the inspiration behind the gateway to emphasize on what the city prides itself on - an amalgamation of cultures that stem from various parts of Victoria
The merging of road from different directions creates a form for the gateway and is symbolic of Wynd-ham as being the merging point of people coming from Melbourne and Geelong
The initial elongated triangle is re-peated, twisted and loftedto signify the shift in focus towards Wynd-ham-particularly its reputation as the fastest growing city in Victoria.
The solid form is sectioned to create a sense of horizontalitywith the landscape and maintain the visibility of the adjacent service station.
Parametrically controlled contours are added to each layer to give additional dynamic characteristics at different times of the day

003|Studley Park Boathouse
This studio presented the unique opportunity to "learn from the masters" by analyzing and observing the previous works of a popular architect. From the research collected, the brief was to design a boathouse with specific needs in the manner and style of a chosen archi-tect. The boathouse was designed according to the principles of Frank Lloyd Wright University of Melbourne 2011Studio Leader: Jianfei ZhuTutor: Chen-yu Chiu
Analysing the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, particularly his house for George Sturges, several of his main principles were categorized and incorparated into the design of the boathouse.Features such as Wright's cantilevers, floating roofs and linearity were emphasized in the design by including similar characteristics into the building. In addition to the external features, the arrangement of spaces and services were also done in the manner of Frank Lloyd Wright.

004|SummerMake Visiting School The SummerMake program was a hands on course that emphasized on the engagement of live architecture.The theme for the course was "Symphony" and aimed at exploring the acoustic possibilities of timber and creating an instrument that would play a continuous symphony in the forest Architecture Association2012Team Leaders: Luke Olsen
Jesse Randzio
The theme of symphony was represented by a set of water powered logs with accompanying man made instruments from recycled tree stumps.Three logs were partially hollowed out and suspended onto a perpendicular log that sat between two trees. Water was brought in from a nearby river and funelled into the hollowed out logs to allow for it to counter balance the weight of the log and consequently "hit" the instruments that were positioned at the end of the logs. The notion of a continued symphony was particularly significant in this instrument as the water from the river creates a continuous sound that resonates throughout the forest at different volumes - depending on the flow of the water.

The hollowness of the log and the skin stretched in tension amplified the sound of the water as it emptied out from the log above.
005|Construction Design A core within the Bachelor of Environments degree that focuses on the process of going from architectural design to buildable works. University of Melbourne2012Subject Coordinator: Blair GardinerTutor: Clare Kwok
The central aim of this subject was to translate a provided sketch design into a legible set of construction drawings.Part of creating these drawings were to address specific design intentions, such as a shadow line and a glass void, and select the appropriate structure and material to comply with industry standards. Each of these drawings were done in Autodesk Revit 2012.
