Auroville Residential Zone

2012-01-27T00:00:00Z

The experimental policy process of Auroville, a city planned in 60’s by the French architect Roger Anger in the proximity of Puducherry, India, and endorsed by the UNESCO ever since. The site, characterized of a complete absence of vegetation, frequent wind storms and monsoon deluges which stripped it further of its meager topsoil, had been a dense forest in former times. Since 1968 the intense work of the earliest settlers has made possible the regeneration of this land and the eroded topsoil, where the city will expand and grow. Further advancements have been the alternative water supply and irrigation systems stemming from ancient techniques, as well as the planning of a low rise dense urban fabric characterized of solar passive protection and cross ventilation systems. This research and design work results in a series of urban fabric prototypes and urban design guidelines which help build this city according to the original plan. These are grouped in the following thematic areas: mobility, housing typologies, land use, development phases and green master plan.

AXUM – Welcoming and engaging visitors – Design report

Guedes, Pedro P.D. — 2012-03-22T00:00:00Z

Axum, in the highlands of Ethiopia was the centre of an important trading empire, controlling the Red Sea and channeling exotic African merchandise into markets of the East and West. In the fourth century (AD), it became one of the first states to adopt Christianity as a state religion. Axum became the major religious centre for the Ethiopian Coptic Church. Axum’s most spectacular archaeological remains are the large carved monoliths – stelae that are concentrated in the Stelae Park opposite the Cathedral precinct. In addition to these major monuments, Axum is endowed with many less tangible and monumental assets that can be brought to life to make the experience of visiting this ancient centre memorable. This study, based upon proposals commissioned by the Government of Tigray Province, develops ideas through ‘Design Research’ to investigate possibilities for enriching visitor experience in the context of a rich archaeological site where the current community are proud descendants of the inhabitants of a long lost empire. The Axumite Empire’s legacy is a rich and uniquely African cultural heritage that expresses itself through religion, history, mythology, crafts and cuisine. The proposal seeks to demonstrate how these less tangible assets can be harnessed to complement the magnificent stelae to make a visit to Axum memorable and informative.

Berlin Studio

Feduchi, Luis — 2011-12-06T00:00:00Z

By means of promoting very concrete interventions in the city of Berlin, the aim of the Berlin Studio is to critically review the on-going strategies of the city of Berlin as well as to anticipate its potential transformation. In the two previous semesters the Berlin Studio explored and reacted to the StEP Plan of the Senat regarding the decentralization of the city, as well as to the document “Perspectives for 2010, Pilot Projects” promoted by the Stadtforum. This semester we have selected four “open sites” which we believe give a good overview of the city.

Bäumler Forster Studio

Wilson, Andrew — 2009-01-30T00:00:00Z

This is a musicians’ and writers’ studio – twenty-seven and a half square metres, triangular, framed in timber and clad internally and externally in plywood. It was completed in February 2008. Located in the suburb of The Gap in Brisbane, it was built into a leftover corner of the backyard behind a small detached house. It addresses the backyard front-on. It is an urban artefact secreted into a super-abundant suburban garden setting. It has a formal presence and reveals the difference between the two plywood surfaces inside and out through occupation. It is assiduously craft-reductive, privileging buildability, affordability and material experience.

Cabarlah House

2010-04-08T00:00:00Z

Background
Design proposal for a house on a subdivision on the edge of the escarpment north of Toowoomba. Program required three independent living zones for the client, her parents and Bed-and-Breakfast guests. Issues raised include: ordering site for separate address and entry; communal and private territories; screening of nearby suburban elements to privilege middle and distant rural and mountain vistas ordering of program to enable comfortable occupation by client when alone and when house is full of guests.
Contribution
Site is structured into territories by program and ordered through reference to an idea about a series of courtyards. Stretching the program out created a linear building in which all three zones are accommodated and offered expansive views. To this is added linked pavilions and lean-tos. On the southern side, lean-tos create a series of structured arrival entry courtyards, vegetable and lavender gardens, service courts; on the northern side, a pavilion housing a screened summer living room also enables outdoor territory close to the house that cannot be overlooked. On this northern edge lawn stretches out to disappear over the escarpment.
Significance
This project explores the use of ideas to order buildings and landscape together in a range of settings for living on an ordinary suburban block and with a minimum budget. Design involves exploring ways that interactions between occupants, the immediate landscape and distant views can be set up in works of architecture to be registered through occupation.

2011 Cleveland International Design Competition

Dickson, Michael — 2011-10-21T00:00:00Z

The city of Cleveland runs an annual design competition open to practitioners worldwide with the view of enhancing the profile and regeneration of their post industrial city. The 2011 competition asked for a new school vision for a site adjacent to the main Cleveland State University's downtown campus. The proposal submitted by Michael Dickson seeks to act as a catalyst for the regereration of the community by opening up the school to the commuinity through the creation of shared public spaces and activities. Learning opportunities are identified and enhaced at the interface between school and community which are manifested through student run commercial gallery spaces, community build projects, student run cafe and weekly markets. In response to the industrial identity and at time hostile climate, the main classroom areas are configured as a series of interconnected pods under a larger umbrella or greenhouse structure, thus creating a benign inbetween climate for informal collaboration and learning as well as enabling simpler construction techniques for community build.

Cosi @ Arts Theatre, Petrie Terrace, Brisbane

Bell, Fiona — 2012-01-17T00:00:00Z

It’s 1971 and young Lewis, straight out of university, takes up a job offer to direct a play for a group of inmates in a metal institution. The most eager and sardonic of this wayward trope is Roy, who cajoles the disparate group into performing Mozart’s opera Cosi Fan Tutte. To his despair and our amusement, Roy’s fellow performers can’t sing opera or speak Italian, let alone act. The mayhem that ensues as Roy’s vision transforms is driven by the strength and appeal of these wonderful characters.

Die Stadt als Projekt. Iñaki Ábalos: Ábalos Sentkiewicz Arquitectos. Vortrag: Vertical-scapes oder Die Integration der Disziplinen

Feduchi, Luis — 2011-12-13T00:00:00Z

From Schinkel to Ungers, there have been many architects unable to resist the temptation of projecting their ideas over the site plan of Berlin: Taut, Speer, Scharoun, Le Corbusier, the Smithsons, among others. From Schinkel’s Archipelago City to the Smithsons’ Cities Within the City, Berlin never ceased to be a project. It is surprising to confirm that since its reunification, more than just being a fact, this idea has become a necessity. Is there today a city project? In relation to the utopian characteristic implied in understanding the city as a project, the city today has become a technocratic city, where decisions that affect it directly seem to be taken in the “dark and secret spaces” where political decisions are made. Events take place, slowly but inexorably, from Potsdamer Platz to the pulling down of the Palast der Republik, they are allowing a mediocre development – in Mathias Sauerbruch’s recent words – to take place. The polarization to which we referred earlier, which emerged from the scission of Ungers’ project and which was embodied in his disciples Kollhoff and Koolhaas, has kept architecture in a harmless debate that technocracy has taken advantage of in order to create havoc by demolishing and refilling, which is nothing but a demonstration of power. In his book, Brussels – A Manifesto , about the architectural technocracy that has affected Brussels during the last twenty-five years, Pier Vittorio Aureli refers to the need to propose a manifesto even for Berlin. Mathias Sauerbruch, in his criticism of the current times, speaks about opportunity. In the last lecture of the series, Iñaki Ábalos, with a voice akin to that of the architects mentioned above, presented three architectural proposal, all of which were capable of taking on board the central issues that we have been dealing with regarding Berlin’s present. Firstly, revising the concept of the museum, and the implication that this may have when it comes to revitalizing not just the architectural type, but also its impact on the city, turning it into a place of cultural production. Secondly, the appearance of a new type that he calls – as the title of his paper indicates – Verticalscapes, a typology that gives back to the architectural project the integration of disciplines that intervene in the city. Finally, the transmutation of the concept of sustainability, so degraded already thanks to the technocratic architect, to the concept of thermodynamic beauty, as a proposition to fix the current energy as well as financial wastage.

Evoke prosthesis: first year architecture student design project

2012-11-09T13:30:21Z

This is a movie compiled of files made by first semester, first year architecture students for their design course at the University of Queensland, 2012. In groups, students designed and built small temporary installations which were site-specific to an inner city bush site in Brisbane, and involved a day and night mode. These movies document both the site and installation, and are accompanied by 'soundtracks' made by the students, based on edited sounds sourced from the site. The installation was designed and made using inexpensive, everyday materials during an intensive three week period. The installation was a response to the students group's identification and intensive analysis of two divergent site qualities within a particular territory. The installation and site analysis feed into a subsequent hypothetical building design project on the same site.

"Geisha"

Vaughan, Michael — 2012-06-23T00:00:00Z

The Poem is a thematic exploration of the 400 year old, uniquely Japanese, cultural custom and practice of Geisha ('artful person') women. The Poem consists of three sestets of rhyming verse, concluding notes, a prologue, an epilogue and various pictorial illustrations to heighten the meaning of the text. In the 1920s, there were some 80,000 Geisha women. Today, there are only between 1,000 and 2,000. A Geisha is a highly skilled, meticulously trained social hostess who must be expertly proficient in singing, playing musical instruments, literature, poetry, traditional makeup, informal games and polite, well-informed conversation. it is possible for a Geisha to work well into her 80s, having been made an'apprentice' (or 'maiko') at the tender age of only 15. Geishas are also renowned for their exceptional standard of dress, wearing traditional 'kimonos', most of which take at least two years to make and which cost between A$30,000 and A$80,000. No Geisha is permitted to marry, though, if she does, she must resign from her profession.
