SEDIMENTARYAs the second largest mineral extracting nation on Earth, Australia has over 400 working mines. Once these spaces of raw destruction become exhausted of there mineral qualities a dormant scar remains. A space of scale and power, that seems distant and out of reach.
The intent of this proposal is to explore architecture as an activator for reclaiming space in the wake of mineral extraction in a semi urban context. A Conceptual framework that draws on notions of geological biomimetics, specifically sandstone focusing on adaptive sedimentation and chaotic flow.
A public route carved through the centre of Cultural Arts and Education; progressively flowing through the structural body into the depths of Horsnby Quarry. The dynamic adaptive skin wraps the program responding to spatial and environmental requirements.

In section a standard structural grid system denotes rigid space division and movement between levels.. A standard system uses columns and beams that have a primary role of structural stability
The Floor plates were fractured, forming a stronger visual link between levels. Breaking each floor plate into three created a set of progressive plateaus that lead to the level below.
Linking the plateaus with ramps increases the physical connection between levels. A natural hierarchy of levels began to form, the route down the building was carved out between the plateaus.
Linking alternate levels formed a line of connection between ramp surfaces this became a component for structural stability.
The flowing circulation is within the structure, forming two major circulation pathways, vertical (local) and horizontal (global) routes.

SPATIAL CONNECTIVITY
MODULAR TRUSS SYSTEM
Using the human body as an origin for scale and conceptual thinking provided a strong link between the building occupants and the architecture they would experience. A logical approach was taken, evolving the conceptual ideas into a framework of design that derived at a component. The component was an element of the building, 3 floors. This small section of the building was evolved, detailed and resolved so that it could be used throughout the full height of the building.
Circulation between levels and spaces evolve around a system of differing speeds and distances. A continuous route is carved through the floor plates, progressively shifting spaces in a fluid like motion, forming a communal space down the building. The route contributes to the flow of people at a regional scale, transporting them into the quarry, while also forming connections between spaces on a local scale. A spine of the circulation is high speed vertical movement through mechanical transportation, lifts.

A degree of varying transparency between the public and private spaces, views down and up into the private spaces can be altered according to the requirements of the individual spaces.
SPATIAL ADAPTATION
ELEVATION SECTION
‘Theatre of Erosion’ explores a passage from space to place: the transition of an audience from reality to intrigue. Set inside the monumental stone presence of The Quadrangle, the project takes as its departure point the movement of an audience as a force that erodes away the remaining volume surrounding a performance space. Through various digital explorations, the project investigates a geometry based on stages of transition, modelling the external and internal volumes of an abstract mass according to parameters that control the intensity of inner theatre space; establish transparency; orchestrate key views to the main space; and respond to fabrication criteria. The project simulates natural landscapes of erosion, thus creating a dynamic sequence of spaces where views continually changed as part of a slow removal of the audience from their daily concerns. The journey takes an audience around the periphery of the venue, traces a path through the grotto of the bar spaces, leading inside and ultimately past the stairs to the centre of the seating bank.The erosion geometry is generated using a metaball definition to define the path and volumes of the spaces, over a field that varies according to length, radius and density of cylinder elements, and with sine curves applied to the proposed sections. The form is constructed by a multitude of differently sized cylinders of plywood, from which panels are formed, that can be assembled in a relatively short time. Cylinders are both stacked and hung from the scaffolding of the theatre seating underbelly. The theatre’s elevations read continuously from outside and inside, in density and size of the cylinders complementary to the mood of the transition stages, and the relationship to the host building in which the theatre is embedded.
The eroded walls begin to unfold and open to frame views towards the Hall, inspiring a strong relation to The Quadrangle. Inside, oblique views and skylights chandeliers engage the audience in an ethereal atmosphere

TRANSITION PHASES
ENFOLDED ELEVATION
In order for the fabrication to be as straightforward as possible we have limited the cylinder radius to nine sizes. These could then be ordered in bulk at their standard length and cut to size for the panel assembly. These prefabricated panels would then be bolted together on site.

HYDE CYCLE CENTREServing the needs of Sydney’s eastern suburbs commuters, the HYDE CYCLE CENTRE is a strategic part of the Sydney 2030 framework. Positioned at the confluence of key entry routes to the city, the Hub sits over an existing underground carpark – providing new activity to the street and an important new transport alternative. The Hub will act as a catalyst for continued change in the city’s transport modes – from a reliance on increasingly frustrating vehicular commuting to healthy, energizing cycling journeys.The Hub is focused on two key user groups: members and tourists. Members of the Hub have 24-hour access to bike storage and change facilities. Tourists can rent bikes and access the Hub’s facilities during operating hours. A café also operates in the building, providing a meeting point and an opportunity to catch breath before and after riding.The Hyde Hub is a dynamic building that makes using it an exhilarating experience. The street extends into the building, allowing cyclists to ride up a ramp and directly into the storage space. The extension of the street provides a continuous space that stretches and contracts to provide entry points, storage space, and transitions in movement. This leads to the building’s upper levels where cyclists can access the ‘refreshment block’ – the core of the building containing showers, lockers and other change facilities. Filtering down to the ground floor, users can then enter the café.

WEST ELEVATION
PHASE 1
Prepae existing site, remove all existing trees, shrubery, soft landscaping surfaces and steel fencing. Removing all existing render to reveal the bare faced structure to the existing car park. This is to provide a suitablely stripped site to allow construction to procceed whilest also for aesthetical reasons. Piles and transfer beams are to be positioned to insure the load of a new sturcutre is fully self supported and deos’t rely on the existing structure at all.
PHASE 2
Construct new base over the site in concrete, this will also form the beginning of the ramp on each side, untill the ramp becomes suspended using a different structural system. Along the west side of the site the proposed concrete will be set back from the existing to create a diffining edge between the two, whilst still creating an effect of drapping the proposed over the existing site.
PHASE 3
Form the second phase of insitu concrete construction, the two primay elements being the refresment block and the parting wall to the end of the west elevation.
PHASE 4
Construct the steel frame, this included the columns down the west elevation, the diagrid along the south elevation, the diagrid of the towers and the roof structure. The precast concrete fins to the rear elevations are also to be constructed during this phase. They are to arrive on site in short sections and bonded on site, they will be given lateral rigidity using the frame for the poly-carbonate inner skin, because the fins strength is in compression and not in a lateral direction. The steel frame is to be a simple mechano style system and is to have a sprayed painted finished.
PHASE 5
Construct the top section of the ramp, see detailed section. Steel beams are to be hung between the outer fame and the concrete structure of the refreshment block. This phase signifise the completion of the major structural elements of the building.
PHASE 6
This phase is the finishing stage. The west elevation is to have the corten panels hung to the outside of the columns and the poly-carbonate infiles fitted. The south elevation will have the poly-carbonate backing fixed above the ramp level and the curtain wall in installed below. Along the inner face of the pre cast concrtee fins a layer of ply carbonate is to be fixed creating a rain screen thought the building. The roof is to be finished and made water tight ensuring the correct falls are created. A glass skin is to be hung from the steel of the tower and the mechanism istalled inside.

Conceptual Studies led me to investigate the threshold between land and sea (above). In a direct response to the study, and the curve of the mill pond path, a thick wall was placed across the site to create enclosure becoming a dominant element of the design. The wall has three phases beginning with staggered pillars, that allow people to pass into the site. The main element that runs the length of the building, spaces are create within the wall between the structural pillars. Finally the wall thins out and slips into the sea. The roof flows above the wall providing shelter for spaces below, with no internal columns and only glass hitting the timber underbelly, thus portraying a floating aesthetic.
