The Boathouse
Architecture Design Studio 2
This project aims to design a boathouse in reference to Master Kazuyo Sejima’s work. The initial concept of my design is to have something that can stand out prominently on site but in other way can also blend in well with the surrounding. I noticed everything around the site is nature stuff such as river, hills and grassland so I have intended to have curvaceous ŶRRU� VODEV� DQG�RUJDQLF� VKDSH� IRU� LWV� RXWORRN��$V� D�whole I feel that these shapes can blend in well with WKH�ORQJ�ŶRZLQJ�ULYHU�DQG�KLOOV�
I have done a brief analysis on the different space within building and divided them into mainly 2 types, which are public and private. Sejima’s would sometimes focus on the function and users of a space to consider its arrangement and position within a building. I suggested that cafe and restaurant are the most public spaces and both of them would be PDJQLŵFHQW�GLQLQJ�DUHD� LI� WKH\�KDYH� WKH�FKDQFH� WR�have the river, hill and grassland view.
The ramps that serve as the secondary circulation can provide the users another experience as they are given the chance to enjoy the scenery and surrounding nature from any height they would prefer from ground to approximately 10m high. Besides, the idea of having a rooftop deck and spiraling ramps around it actually also give an opportunity to the park public users a different experience instead of just focusing on the restaurant or café customers.

Focus on Sejima’s Use of Sunlight
I have noticed that Sejima would prefer to have
natural sunlight usage on her design. Apart from
this reason, moving towards greens is also world’s
most attentive issue nowadays. The restaurant and
café would not have any problem to receive natural
light, as their walls are transparent glasses. For the
PRUH�SULYDWH�DUHDV�VXFK�DV�NLWFKHQ��RIŵFH�DQG�NLRVN��they would have different skylight and windows so
natural sunlight is not a problem as well.
Regarding to the window openings, they are
basically arranged in different direction and different
position like what Sejima has in some of her design.
All these openings look like being placed on walls
randomly but in fact it has been taken into account
the direction of sunlight and the amount of sunlight
they can receive directly.

Choice of Materials
Taking the materials into issue, there are mainly concrete for slabs, timber and transparent glasses for wall. Both timber and glasses would not be able to support the entire load of the whole building. Therefore, as studied from most of Sejima’s design, the main support structure in this building is the columns. All these structural elements are arranged in grid system so it looks neater and the spaces within the building can be easily divided.

A Discovery Centre & Place For Cultural Exchange
Architecture Design Studio 1
This is the design of a Discovery Centre which reveals histories of Melbourne. I had an idea of exploring more on its timeline, the length of each period of time. As I know, the older way of people to represent time is by shadow casting of sunlight and the direction of shadowed ‘bar’ will then shows the time.
Here, my initial concept came from the same idea and hence using my design to exhibit the ‘historical time’ that Melbourne formed.
Indigenous time : >40000 yearsColonial time : 113 years (1788 – 1900)Terra Nullius time : 163 years (1827 – 1990s)Contemporary culture period : - present
The curvy design of different length could show the ŶRZ�RI�HDFK�SHULRG��+RZHYHU��,�ZRXOG�VXJJHVW�WKDW�having the same design in more regular shape could make the design more practical. Besides, this could also represent the different bits happened in each period as they did not have an ‘uninteresting’ and SHUIHFW�ŶRZ�RYHU�WKH�WLPH�

Displacement Space �� This space has a piece of specially designed façade
wall together with its roof to deliver an experience of loss, suffering and incomplete life.
�� Focusing on the wall, there is a contrast between this ‘unsmooth’ wall compared to the others.
�� The different angles of each transparent and solid piece enable the users to have a gradually decreasing view on the outer surrounding. In addition, the slanting roof would also make the whole space become smaller until it reaches a height lower than human’s height.
�� All these combined would represent the life of older Australians which was getting narrower and less freedom with the presence of ‘Terra Nullius’.
�� Both the roof and the stage have a similar design which is projecting and suspended upwards. Together with the semi-outdoor characteristic of this space, it represents everyone’s future timeline and the long way to go ahead in the outside world.
�� Different levels of seating would provide different experiences for the users or for the need of different performance. First floor seating would give the users a combined view of performance with the Yarra river behind while ground floor seating could provide a more closed up and private feeling.
Contemporary Culture Space
�� This space is situated underground with massive, irregular shaped and unsmooth stone finishing wall. There are quite a number of sharp corners in the room and it also has a lower ceiling height compared with the other spaces in the building.
�� These would give the users a chance to experience the uncertainties and difficulties happened during colonial time.
�� Besides, the long and crooked ramps penetrating through the water also play an important role to symbolize the difficult journey of initial settlement from Yarra River .
�� The lift on the other hand has its wall constructed by transparent glass enables the users to experience the immediate change from nature surrounding to enclosed space which represents free living to colonial life.
�� The square’ish design represents the straight forward mindset of Indigenous Australians.
�� It has a specially designed wall with the concept of Bunjil’s protective hands. The transparent openings on the wall focuses on East and with the penetrated sunlight, it gives an experience of hope like it happened in the previous ages.
�� The bridge would symbolize the first landing on a new piece of land.
�� Also, the elevated part of this place could exhibit a feeling of secure and being protected from any harm on the ground.

Description of Building
There are several transparent glass openings as part of the roof. This can symbolize the ‘connect to nature’ lifestyle of Indigenous Australians and it is also a sustainable design for saving energy. Indigenous people have more conservative mind. Hence, a wall is designed to block the sight of toilets as giving more privacy for the users. The ‘bridge’ at the centre of building provides a better connection ��WUDIŵF�IRU�XVHUV�LQ�WKH�EXLOGLQJ��,W�DOVR�UHSUHVHQWV�D�VKRUWFXW�RU�ŐFRQYHQLHQW�ZD\ő�OLNH�ZKDW�(XURSHDQV�created on Yarra River during colonial time.

Displacement Space �� This space has a piece of specially designed façade
wall together with its roof to deliver an experience of loss, suffering and incomplete life.
�� Focusing on the wall, there is a contrast between this ‘unsmooth’ wall compared to the others.
�� The different angles of each transparent and solid piece enable the users to have a gradually decreasing view on the outer surrounding. In addition, the slanting roof would also make the whole space become smaller until it reaches a height lower than human’s height.
�� All these combined would represent the life of older Australians which was getting narrower and less freedom with the presence of ‘Terra Nullius’.
�� Both the roof and the stage have a similar design which is projecting and suspended upwards. Together with the semi-outdoor characteristic of this space, it represents everyone’s future timeline and the long way to go ahead in the outside world.
�� Different levels of seating would provide different experiences for the users or for the need of different performance. First floor seating would give the users a combined view of performance with the Yarra river behind while ground floor seating could provide a more closed up and private feeling.
Contemporary Culture Space
�� This space is situated underground with massive, irregular shaped and unsmooth stone finishing wall. There are quite a number of sharp corners in the room and it also has a lower ceiling height compared with the other spaces in the building.
�� These would give the users a chance to experience the uncertainties and difficulties happened during colonial time.
�� Besides, the long and crooked ramps penetrating through the water also play an important role to symbolize the difficult journey of initial settlement from Yarra River .

The ‘Bodyspace’ Project
9LUWXDO�(QYLURQPHQWV
This project focused on the architecture design at the scale of humans’ body. The progress for this proposal involved a process of manual paneling to conceptualize a clay sculpture into folded paper model. In summary, the concept for my design is inspired by the oxidation process of metal – rusting. This is a process that can happen anywhere as long as there is presence of moisture. One of the characteristics of rusting is the surface no longer JLYH�D�VPRRWK�DQG�UHJXODU�VKDSHG�ŵQLVK��
The idea of having a layer of skin has been incorporated for this concept. Besides, rust will cause the original material to be weaker and eventually become more fragile and bring danger to users. To enhance my design concept, I have decided to integrate pointy thorns as the design of rusting because it can indirectly convey to users some sort of danger of sharpness feelings.
As described, the major deciding factor for rusting is how high the dampness of the surrounding area. Humans’ body has a high presence of moisture and the part with high dampness and moisture is mostly around the closed area such as armpit. Thus, I realized that creating my design somewhere near the armpit area that covers up the neck and shoulder parts can give a clear contrast between ‘damp and dry’ design.

Design of Lighting
Another essential part for this project is lighting up the model. I have decided to arrange the light
intensity according to the level of rust. In a whole, comprising the pattern of model, the length of

The Play Space
Designing Environments
The main agenda for this design project is to give
children a new playing space on or above ground
level that can give them the feeling of playing in the
sky. As the play space is a very small portion of land
IURP� WKH� SDUN� DUHD�� DQG� GHŵQLWHO\� KDYH� QR� VD\� WR�compare with the size of being ‘in the sky’.
Hence, the strategy of of ‘comparison method’ has
been used to mentally enlarge the play space. A
smaller partially sealed up space can be constructed
so when it is under comparison with the entire play
space, children will have a sense that the play space
is much bigger than it was.
I have come out with an idea of creating a ‘nest’ that
holds up the whole children playing area.
