Project Summary

8. 8

9. 9
The project investigates the uses of an urban space that would otherwise
remain largely disused and inaccessible. The project explores how the empty
and unexplored buildings and public spaces could be re-visioned to enable
intrigue and discovery; as an alternate (but necessary) space in the city, whilst
unifying areas of the city that have been severed by urban renewal.
Investigating how left over space, or poorly designed building blocks have left
the nature of public spaces in Newcastle in a state where it barely exists. This
proposal aims to re-define an existing Newcastle inner city block, through an
evolving process over time of varied back of building programming.
Through the process of the project, and continued research into fields of
Phenomenology, Situationist theory of Derive, and influential insight from the
condition of Synesthesia, all have contributed to the evolution of the scheme to
flourish as my understanding and overall vision.

Introduction

12. 12

13. 13
The project is situated in Newcastle, Australia, on an inner city block bounded
by Hunter, King and Darby Street. This part of the city is in a state of disuse,
decay and inaccessibility and is a significant portion of the city, that is in dire
need of consideration.
Due to the location and its proximity to the surrounding buildings, namely;
Civic Town Hall, Newcastle City Council, Australian Taxation Office, Civic
Parkland, Newcastle Art Gallery and Museum, CBD, and Cultural-Food
precinct, this intersection marks a point in the city of transition, landmark and
for alternate function.
Current uses of the buildings on site, range from small commercial offices,
small to medium retail, and small hospitality retail. There is a large portion of
the King Street edge buildings that are currently empty, that line from the edge
of Crown Street toward the beginning of Darby Street.
Being a major pedestrian link between Hunter and Darby means the journey
between the two points become an important experiential link. However, with
the lack of activity, functions and interest, generates a mundane, seemingly
long and dull fragmentation. The distance of the walk is 200m, which requires
a break point between to break up the visual journey.
An exploration of ways to enhance this experience that generate a sensory
delight, is a major driver to the project.

Site Analysis

16. 16

17. 17
There are several exisiting buildings on site, a small car park facing King
Street, with majority of King Street facing buildings under utilised and
undergoing future works for development.
Adjoining King Street is a one way narrow Crown Street, which is also a
meeting point for pedestrians.
A change in vehicular speed begins from this point onward toward the junction
to Darby Street, where the transition along these points are lined with poor
linkages, very little public activity and particularly at night time, an unsafe
transition between major Streets.
There is a definite opportunity to explore ways to break up the journey between
Streets, allow for a more enriched city walking experience and to inject activity
on a public scale to increase overall activity.
Alongside with these opportunities, a key characteristic lacking in the city, and
a component that could be explored, are moments of discovery, intrigue and
unpredictability. It is these moments that generate a much richer experience
of the place and add layers of detail to what should be a finer grained part of
the city.

This becomes a new node in the
city that is hidden and has unique
spatial qualities that differ from
the spaces surrounding it. An
opportunity to explore the hidden
intricacies of city spaces.

strategy of mrging functions into one another that flow together as a consistent
story of the building and its overall character in the city.

Introducing inconsistency with block fragmentation. This explores the overlaying
patterns of other city plans with fine grain. This results in unpredictable positive
and negative spaces sitting by one another, enabling alternate functions to occur.
Functions may include emotional functions as well as specific activity.
Site broken down into smaller grid blocks that introduce a human scale aspect to
the overall block, allow for finer grained activity and insertions to occur on a more
human spirited and intimate level.

“The Renaissance system of the senses was related with the image of the cosmic body;
vision was correlated to fire and light, hearing to air, smell to vapour, taste to water , and
touch to earth.” (Pallasmaa, The Eyes of the Skin)
Due to the over-taking culture of technology, it has inevitably taken on an order and
division of the senses.
“Vision and hearing are now the priviledged sociable senses, whereas the other three
are considered as archaic sensory remnants with a merely private function, as they are
usually suppressed by the code of culture”. (Pallasmaa, The Eyes of the Skin)
As a result of this deprivation, the dominating culture of vision over the other senses
means our knowledge and engagement with our surroundings are ‘vision-generated’
According to Pallasmaa, “the inhumanity of contemporary architecture and cities can be
understood as the consequence of the negligence of the body and the senses, and an
imbalance in our sensory system. The growing experiences of alienation, detachment
and solitude in the technological world today, for instance, may be related with a certain
pathology of the senses”.
Walter Benjamin also states the 20th Century, “ as the age of alienation” due to much
more than technology advancing, but due to the loss of human spirit in architectural
spaces.
It is in the interest of this project, to explore the issues of cities and the sense of detach-
ment from the senses, and thus the experience of people within their
environments. For without the consideration of the senses, “it [can] leave the body and
the other senses, as well as our memories, imagination and dreams, homeless.” (Pal-
lasmaa, The Eyes of the Skin)

This concept materialises with the details of the
work, and becomes a power connection for us to

The predominating character of vision in the understanding of our world, buildings and
environment lends us to be visionary beings. As a consequence, the power of sight,
over the other sensory qualities, has turned our relationship with architecture into an
art form of an instant visual image.
Environments and buildings that boast flatness of surfaces and materials, uniformity
and uniformity of experiences, causes a sensory impoverishment. The buildings and
environments around have lost their depth, opacity, sensory invitation, discovery,
mystery and shadow.
In understanding the necessity of considering the senses, within the environments we
design, it was important to gain a further knowledge base, of other creative innovations
that allow the human spirit to be touched.
Ned Kahn’s work of fusing our understnading of atmospheric processes of wind, water,
fog, sand and light, through the creations of art and Architectural moments, help
enhance our perceptions of natural phenomena.
From his work, of capturing these moments, I believe to be the more significant
aspects that architecture spaces lack, and thus lack human spirit and our grasp in
experiencing our environment in its totality.

Understanding the public and private sphere helped me understand the
intricacies of the spaces on the site, and how I went about approaching the
spatial arrangements between buildings and its spaces.
Breaking up the site in terms of public and private had a lot of emphasis on the
identification of boundaries, which allowed for the defence and encroachment
of private and public.
It was from these boundaries that developed the play and exploration of
“concealment and exposure” (Ali Madanipour, Public and Private Spaces of
the City)
An exerpt from Madanipour’s Chapter 2: Exclusive space of the property
describes very succinctly, the direction that carried me through from the pro-
cesses of private and public, boundaries, to the character of spaces.

43. 43

44. 44

45. 45
“The separate identities of the public and private realms mainly result from the
constructions of the boundary between them; if the boundary, to a large extent,
on the way this boundary is artculated, as much as the configuration of what
lies behind the boundary. To study these boundaries, it is essential to know
how they are constructed, what they are made of, what they mean to signify,
and how they relate to the spheres that lie on either side. There may be no in-
trinsic qualities to the subsections of the space. It is only the way this space is
subdivided through boundaries that creates its character...By defining space,
enclosing it within boundaries which sperate the public and the private, the
social relations take a spatial form; a concrete and relatively fixed representa-
tion of constantly changing social phenomena.”
It is therefore crucial that in relation to city arrangements of spaces, the bound-
aries and the division of spaces create different meanings, and also redefine
areas to take on new or different functions.

An unplanned journey through an urban landscape, of which you are lead
through based purely off what architecture and geography you are subcon-
scioudly attracted too, with the ultimate goal of encountering an entirely new
and original experience. Situationist theorist Guy Debord defines the Dérive as
“a mode of experimental behaviour linked to the conditions of urban society: a
technique of rapid passage through varied ambiances”.
This concept was taken on board to inform the project in the way of interpret-
ing the idea as not an explanatory word for a way to move through a space,
but rather as an action.
In applying this action to the project, the spatial arrangements through and
around the exisiting buildings were loosely considering the degrees and ef-
fectiveness of Dérive.
The potential of this application allowed for a different means of experienc-
ing the ‘everyday spaces’ of the city. Increasing the unpredicatbility of the
‘everyday’ and providing an alternate and authentic experience of a new
atmpsohere and
character of the urban landscape.

In order for the project to have evolved, there were a few aspects that needed to be
considered. It was mentioned that the strength of the scheme lay within the bounds
of buildings both existing and new, which was essentially the public space.
It was from this suggestion that there was also no requirement to make the selected
site as large as it was, and that there was a way in which the project could flourish
in a much more detailed sense in a smaller scaled area. By the process of weaving
the public space through and amongst the site, this then created much stronger
links with public interaction and therefore, space(s) created for the public in mind.
There was an approach in which the site was to be organised and arranged, which
originally came from the ideas of overlaying patterns of mapping, typically those
that had a very fine grained city arrangement.
Having overlaid several types of mapping and patterns of spatial arrangements,
the concept then evolved into looking at the spaces in between and around the
buildings. There were cases of complex systems of street patterning that produced
such intricate spaces of the left over, where building upon building butting up one
another, left a gap of remaining space, forgotton.
It was from this point, that my interests directed toward the understanding and
investigation of the opportunities of these spaces, what they might be represented
as in our built environments, and particularly, for this project.
These Residual spaces would then become the focus for the elective project.

Through the journey of walking, the sound of water and the suggestion of moisture filling
up in the air, there is a choreographed downpour of water that is responsive to the move-
ments and precence of the visitor.

This next phase of he project allowed me to explore the ideas of a streetscape that
brought a 24 hour city concept into fruition. The research for this strategy of function
and arrangement of spaces came heavily from the influences of the Vietnamese
Culture and the character of the metropolis. The relationship between its people,
community and the spaces that bounded them with daily living, was an inspiring
characteristic that was interpreted into the projects evolution.
The study of the cultural aspects and focus on the peoples work ethics, gave the
drive for the functions of the site to engage with longer trading hours to increase liv-
lihood and activity on streetscape level. This then meant that the required functions
for the spaces created would be unique to the spaces.
For the spaces between exisiting buildings and carved out, carried individual
character, and captivated varied functions accordingly.
This became then, the nature of the project, in that the functions linked to the
spaces, would change according to the demands of the occupants. They would
alter depending on the relationship between people and its space.
There are spaces within the site that take on unique functions at this point in the
project.
In understanding function, was to accept that there were positive and negative
spaces, where all positive spaces carried functions, even if they are positive
emotional functions.
This later delved into the research domain of the experiential and phenomenology.

These images are snapshots of the types of schematic spaces allocated,
with an emphasis on the materials and character of the space beginning to
be explored.
Avenues of redirected spaces, that channel off into smaller more intimate
areas create alternate functions and spatial experience.
The transition between the exposed and enclosed spaces, and the
unpredictabile changes in movement, allow for a more inconsistent and
interesting journey of discovery or walking.
The image to the right shows the Noodle Bars, on both sides. A semi
enclosed and sensory delightful experience of passing by the building or
entering, causes an alluring nature to the space, enticing the senses to
explore.
The placement of the Noodle Bar, in close proximity to the major street front-
age allows for activity to be seen on the stree level.
However, this strategy was one method explored in the means to generate
intrigue, discovery and an alternate spatial arrangement that allowed for
sensory delight to flourish.

Verona, Italy, Tadao Ando, Koshino House, Fearon Hay, Imperial Cafe, Auckland,
a2f Architects, Jonáš Barn
The types of work that are shown here, became very influential precedences to
study, not so much for the functions within them, but their relationships between
surfaces, existing buildings, and the nature of materials used in a human spirited
way.
Each one, I felt, captured an aspect of my design intent, which helped me
understand the context of my site, the materials I had to work with, as well as the
character of those spaces, with which, I aimed to capture for the later stages of the
project.

76. 76
Access laneway to the Imperial Cafem expresses a unique character carried by the
relationship with exisiting building and alternate access -entry point.
This service-access way is a strategy that I have taken into consideration for the
orientation of my buildings and the way the spaces designed are interacted with.
The fine grain detail, surfaces and textures of materials play an important role in
conveying a deep and sensory rich experience for the vision, smell, touch and
sound. Combining these sensory tickles with the aromas of the function of the build-
ing (being a Cafe), this particular precendent expressed many key characteristics
crucial in my project.

77. 77

An existing service laneway on site, with intricate urban detail in relation to the
brickwork and soft lighting touching the surfaces, is a character of the site that was
a key moment in expressing the nature of projects intent to reveal attributes of the
urban fabric that are often overlooked by the persons of the everyday.
(unique to the Urban environment)
The exploration of the “Junkspace” (Rem Koolhaas) being very much part of the
architecture also became a significant influence in the work, and carried many of
the key characteristics of the overall vision.
From Rem Koolhaas (2006) essay Junkspace
“If space-junk is the human debris that litters the universe, junk-space is the residue
mankind leaves on the planet. The built product of modernization is not modern
architecture but junkspace.
Junkspace is what remains after modernization has run its course or, more
precisely, what coagulates while modernization is in progress, its fall-out.
Modernization had a rational program: to share the blessings of science,
universally. Junkspace is its apotheosis, or meltdown… Although its individual
parts are the outcome of brilliant inventions, lucidly planned by human intelligence,
boosted by infinite computation, their sum spells the end of Enlightenment , its
resurrection as farce, a low-grade purgatory… Junkspace is the sum total of our
current achievement; we have built more than all previous generations together,
but somehow we do not register on the same scales. We do not leave pyramids.
According to a new gospel of ugliness, there is already more junkspace under
construction in the 21st century than survived from the 20th…”

Some exerpts from Spaces of Uncertainty, 2002, written by Mueller and Busikann
Verlag explain the nature of the left over spaces being used as the major compo-
nent of the scheme.
The understanding of public space and the relationship with it city is also explained.
“In contemporary society, the modern citizen seems to be free by constitution
and can, within the very reasonable limitts of a first world comfort, theoretically do
whatever he or she likes. This naivety, seems to be successful in hiding the foggy
precence of control, be it personified by Governments, Guardians or Property, or
the Media Culture in our very living rooms.
Public Space -with its mechanisms of control, has its other situated in the fragility
and indefiniteness of certain spaces and actiivities. It is both these atmospheres
that influence us in the way we think.
Public Spaces are places where the individual and the community can, openly, and
insecurely, meet. The margin is an essential aspect of public space conserving all
the crucial characteristics of unpredictability and confrontation, as it is the pref-
fered space of uncertainty in the contemporary city.”

82. 82
s i t e i n v e s t i g a t i o n
“...The margin- as the immediate stage of Architecture’s side effects- offers a
second persective to the specific nature of Architectural production.
In opposition to Architecture, the space of the margin allows for a more direct
idea of process. A continual one.
The physical leftover is a ground of ephermeral traces, and offers simultaneity
of difference, stratified information that the places of Architectural development
are lacking in their exclusiveness.
In this respect, the margin functions as the delayed catalyst of urban culture.
This extra dimension to Architecture’s instrumentality enables us to understand
the margin as a local recollection of the other, a memorial testimony of tactical
space occupied by whispering narratives rather than visual representation, this
continuity in space and time is the enormous resource that marginal territiories
present today as the ultimate buffer zone in the contemporary city.
The existence of these spaces of uncertainty is both a relief and a promise.
The margins have become the last reminders that can possibly tell us who we
are.
The margins are ugly, beautiful.
They laugh and they cry.
They are full of energy and still remain calm.
They are without sound while they speak.
They stabilise, and still, exist through instability...”

This stage of the project focused primarily on the details, material, character of the
spaces created and the overall vision of the scheme. The spaces that are shown
in this part of the project demonstrate the between spaces of the existing buildings
and public spaces carved out of the site. With the creation of these new spaces,
meant an alternate character of place would be introduced/reformulated according
to the functions, activity and spirit of the place.
It was important, at this stage to formulate images that represented those visions in
a way that captured architecture moments unique to the scheme.

The images shown are parts of my developed presentation, showing the left
over space in between buildings, the Noodle Bar, showing the exposed roof
with evaporating and Steam pond, and Timber Stack wall feature.
There is a way to tell time in the particular space of the Noodle Bar as you
watch you light touch touch each surface of the space.
The Noodle Bar, intended to be used in all weather conditions, plays on the
idea of capturing the element of rain, and channeling it into a system that re-
cylcles the water to come back as steam. This visual stimuli is an atmospheric
experience that enriches the mundane experience of the everyday (eating)

The experience of standing in a space with the stacked timber was a very
inspiring image that I has taken on board with the details of the timber live wall.
This image gave me the inspiration to delve into what the sensory experience
would be like, given being in a space like this.
Interpreted to be used in a way that suited the requirements of the buildings,
a timber stacked wall became a key architecture moment that told a deeper
story.

As part of my final year project, I have designed and constructed a 3 piece-
1:1 furniture component I had envisioned for the use in my Noodle Bar.
There are 2 variations shown, two at 1500mm long, and one at 2200mm in
length.
The materials used to construct these pieces included:
Meranti Timber Boards
Rectangular Hollow Steel
- 20 x 20 x 1.6
- 30 x 30 x 1.6
Blast Powdercoated and Painted Black
Tung Oil Finish
M6 Bolt and Nuts
The table tops have also been used as part of the presentation critique and
the exhibition in the Cathedral, Newcastle.
I’ve included some snapshots of the progress and final product.
Of course, a special mention is in order here, as this was not made possible
without the help and continuous guidance of the Workshop Team, Dom, Dan
and Ben. For pushing through the busy times, and still managing to be so
helpful and patient.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Also a thank you to the team that helped me put it together, the team work
and bond we developed making these pieces are memories I’ll never forget.

syn·es·the·sia also syn·aes·the·sia (sns-thzh)
n.
Derived from the ancient Greek (syn), “together”, and (aisthesis), “sensation”,
is a neurological condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive
pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or
cognitive pathway.
A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another,
as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a colour.
This condition has been a thought provoking inspiration for the way in which I
have approached the communicating what the space and buildings could be
experienced as.
What I have gained from this condition, as a ‘union of senses’, is that the
totality of our senses give a true indication as to what a space should be
experienced as, and in reality, that isn’t always possible.
For presentation ideas, I have researched into this condition to help inspire
the way I will communicate my work and imagery and attempt to take on some
aspects of the condition to reveal what an everyday experience would appear
as, as a person viewing an ehanced reality.

The films, Perfume, Ratatouille, and Terri Timley’s Synesthesia- What does an Onion Sound
Like are demonstrated examples of the condition Synesthesia. These works demonstrate dif-
ferent ways in which to the visual, and multi-media are capable of expressing and capturing
these experiences. Something I have taken to for my final presentation.

Enhanced Reality
The Poster for Exhibition I made communicates the unveiling and reveal of part of
the city, to showcase an enhanced reality.
The poster was inspired by the condition of Synesthesia, and I was very interested
in the way I could explore communicating a experiential space.

Progress work of my final Model, an Axonometric model showing the residual
space pulled out from the existing buildings.
A focus on surface and Junkspace was my inspiration for this model.
