E L L E N I N N E SADS 4 // BARLOW MOTORSThis design studio focused on a large scale commercial building. The brief included a Car Showroom, Car Service Centre, Boardroom, Offices, Bachelor Appartment and a Mini Golf course.

The brief was approached through the word ‘erratic’ in relation to Mr Barlow, a prolific melbourne business man from the early 20th century. ‘Erratic’ was then further refined through the idea of smoke, which was experimented with to analyse how it physically reacts to its environment - in this case a physical model of the site.

Two main qualities, interlacing pathways and modularity, were found through these experiments, therefore, the building was designed around a central vehicular pathway. To allow for a modular, intreconnected design, the structural system was extremely important and thus and emphasised feature.

ADS 3 // WYNDHAM GATEWAYThis design studio focused on a urban identifier, or gateway. The brief was to created a signifier for the city of Wyndham that would be built on a site beside the highway to Geelong. This identifier was to be created using Rhinoceros 4.0 and its plug-in Grasshopper, a parametric modelling tool.

Completed in a group with two other students, the main concept was that of place finding. On a map of the section of highway that encompassed the turn off to Wyndham City, it was found that Melbourne was straight forward, Wyndham to the left and Geelong to the right. These points were then used as inputs into a Grasshopper plug-in called FlowLines that creates a series of rippled rings.

The idea of the design was to create a gateway that could be experience by a driver from both far away and as they pass through it.

CONSTRUCTION DESIGNIn this subject a hand drawn sketch design for a small scale commercial building was distributed. From this AutoCAD was used to refine the drawings and produce a full set of construction drawings including details. Attention was paid to structure and material.
