Vaccine Distribution Centre

2021

The ongoing pandemic calls for a distribution centre to be designed and dedicated to safehouse the vaccine(s). The site; Lucas Heights, Sydney, is a densely vegetation-covered landscape at risk of being exposed to potential bushfire threats. The brief aims to respond to the threats of the site; human and non-human and 4 logistical elements: storage, distribution, admin and services.

The proposal for the Vaccine Distribution Centre is a challenge to the typology of distribution centres and a response to contextual events. The Vaccine Distribution Centre embeds strategies, territorial gestures and strict organisational schemes to respond to a possibility to unravel a relationship to contemporary monumentality. As architects we are to design spaces that plant existential and non-existential elements; spaces that are rich with meaning, purpose and have the possibility to trigger emotions. These emotions should acknowledge the past; nostalgia, the present; currency and the future; unknown. The justification to challenge the typology of a distribution centre is a direct response to the past and current conditions humanity is traversing; CHANGE.

The Light Tower

Generation Z are to propose a new design system for student accommodation that will safeguard our environment and the well-being of its inhabitance.

The notion that design can empower a community is fundamental, making people’s lives better; both individually and as a community.

Through a design development stage, a resolvement will be completed for the architectural project at a range of scales; a development of spatial and contextual strategies in relation to the theoretical positioning and application of detail to resolve the project. The design development stage will see project resolution across the urban, block and unit.
