LITTLE BIG HIGH RISE

Address: 275 George Street, Metropolitan SydneyProgram: Office Building + RetailProject Type : ARCH7112 Studio 2, First Year (Masters) Tutor: Ivan Ip (Architectus)Design Folio: http://issuu.com/junloh/docs/folio_2

Hidden in the valley of tall buildings, an elegant, monolithic struc-ture stood humbly, at the intersection of George and Margaret Street. Rooted on heavy stone cladded base, the proposed building is not only designed to accommodate the growing needs of quali-ty office space in the metropolitan Sydney. But also as a reminder of what this place - Wynyard used to be, in terms of the tex-ture, the palette and the Building Height Restriction Act that was once implemented that changes the overall fabric of Sydney CBD. The overall schematic program planning was aimed to achieve a balance between workspace and amenities while re-think of the working environment in tall buildings by introducing semi exte-rior breakout space for the offices and the tenants. On a larger scale, the proposed design not only answers to but also aimed to embrace the changes of George Street as a fully pedestrianized street promenade coherent to the vision of Sydney 2030.

THE LANTERN

Address: Corner Church and Market Streets, ParramattaProgram: Theatre + Function Space + LibraryProject Type : ARCH7112 Studio 1, First Year (Masters) Tutors: Sam Marshall (Architect Marshall), Dijana Alić

The design was inspired by the changing role of Parramatta River that was once the main element that gathers and enables settle-ment around the area which is then developed into the Parramat-ta we see today. Therefore the significance of the river must not be overlooked. However, by assessing the river in relation to the urban / suburban context in the present day, the river appears to be an element of separation, almost a boundary that separate both the urban / suburban scene of Parramatta. The proposed scheme is therefore intended to again, brings back the role of the river as a connecting / gathering element achieved through the interventions and re-designing Riverside Theatre that strategical-ly located at the transition area of the urban - suburban scene while ‘hugging’ a part of Parramatta River at one side and Prince Alfred park at the other.

As the present is to design for the future, the design will not only focused to respond to current site condition and constrain but design to anticipate future challenges and adapt to the dynamic urban fabric of Parramatta. Therefore, the design proposal will be considered carefully not only to respond to the client’s need but to be able to adapt to the urban development plans of Parramatta City Council in reference to Parramatta City Centre Public Domain Framework Plan 2012 and the DESIGN PARRAMATTA project.

THE ROCKS PROMENADE

Address: South West Rocks, Kempseyshire, NSWProgram: Rock Pool, Retail, AccommodationProject Type : ARCH1302 Graduation Studio, Bachelor Degree Tutors: Ian Martin (Patonga Design)Supervisor: Prof. Glenn Murcutt

The underlying awareness for rising water levels over the next 100 years provides a framework for understanding South West Rocks. Situated in northern NSW, the design brief will proposed a series of coastal pools, cafe, and performing space along the protected back creek. The incredibly dynamic site with it’s daily tidal changes and delicate coastal dunes further stress a solution of minimal imposition on a site which has already been heavily engineered and manipulated.

The proposed design will be exploring the unique relationship of human presence and built environment, the built environment and the surrounding + nature forces and how built environment and surrounding nature can stimulate human senses . On a macro scale, the design interventions will focused on both the sense of arrival and departure with careful planning in considering the movements of the viewer / user from space to space while embracing surrounding nature elements. Looking further into the macro scale, the safety, comfort and well-being of the user of course, is stressed and prioritized. As the public spaces are activated and guided by sound and movements while private spaces are sheltered from noise but open up to the serenity of the surrounding site.

COCKATOO ISLAND RE - IMAGINED

Address: Cockatoo IslandProgram: Conceptual MasterplanningProject Type: Urban IslandsSupervisor: Pedro Ressano Garcia ( Lisbon )Links: https://vimeo.com/133522697 http://issuu.com/junloh/docs/publication_final-revised

Cockatoo Island has always played a significant role

in Sydney’s development. Its sandstone punished

reoffending convicts while dressing the city. Its isolation

enhanced its jail. Its walls reformed delinquent youth

and housed the orphaned. Its docks helped defend and

connect the city. Yet what remains now are mere scars

on the landscape, reminding all of its once continuous

contribution.

176 years ago, the first occupants carved away at the

island’s fabric, creating the cliffs and the Fitzroy Dock.

Latter interventions doubled the land mass facilitating

the growing industry on the island. It makes one wonder

whether the next 176 years will see a similar expansion of

the island’s programs and physical boundaries.

Several attempts have been made to revive the island to

varying degrees of success. While the increasing list of

artefacts has been helpful in enriching its character, they

also reinforced the emerging mania of memorabilia on

the island; ranging from colonial and industrial remnants,

to blockbuster props.

The result of a western understanding of permanence,

commonly manifesting itself in strict material

preservation, can be seen all over the island. This view is

not only practically impossible, but an illusion at best, as

all structures inevitably erode away.

Eastern thought has evolved differently, recognising that

the only imperishable elements are moments of human

experience. This understanding informed cultures which

value the process of making and remaking, rather than

making and holding. This notion of temporality parallels

modern practice and theories of architecture, where both

concepts and forms are disposable and ever changing.

So the question arises: Does the loss of material authenticity coincide with a

loss of identity and value? Or does an object’s inherent

value lie in a more ephemeral quality?

It can’t be denied that what survives is always a fragment

of what existed. Each fragment, old or new, implies the

history of both its deposit and recovery. The expression

of this fragmentation is better suited to the island,

allowing for more fearless interventions, as ultimately

preservation is only a means to an end – When it

becomes an end in itself, it ceases to advance its prime

functions of use, instruction, and delight.

We attempted to explore both its ephemeral and enduring

features through physical investigations, to inform a

proposal that transcends pure contemporary utility, and

the trending museumisation of the island.
