All in Exhibition

Welcome to the All In Exhibition for 2020
Celebrating the work of our Bachelor of Architectural Design, Master of Architecture and Master of Landscape Architecture students, All In showcases projects across the breadth of our teaching repertoire – from our design studios to our technical classes.
It is a catalog of the best student work to date this year from a range of our year 1 to 5 courses.
Typically, All In is held on our beautiful North Terrace campus, however this year it has gone virtual due to the impact of world events.

Year 1: Design Studio I
For this assignment, students were required to design a stargazing shelter for 2 people for the Valley Walk at Morialta Conservation Park. This is the second assignment completed by students and submitted during Week 7 of their first semester. For this assignment students were required to, gain a strong sense of place through research analysis and synthesis of site information, analyse design precedents, explore and apply fundamental design principles, develop creative ability and graphic dexterity through small 2D and 3D projects, translate abstract ideas to spatial ideas and demonstrate a sense of scale and proportion.

Year 1: Representation I
Assignment 3: Volume for You, where students create an abstract volume (made from foam-core)that is derived from the orthographic drawings created in Assignment 2B (drawings which capture two abstract models, both representing 'Who They Are' -an interpretation of their name, and the translation of a scene/object/emotion from a dream). Students then create an A1 poster which represents their volume. The poster features the following components: plan and elevation, section with one-point perspective, two-point perspective exterior view, axonometric (plan-oblique) drawing, collage using Adobe Photoshop showing atmosphere.
The course was made possible through the teaching assistance of Jesse Zilm (tutor), Madeline Nolan (demonstrator) and Tom Borgas (guest lecturer).

Year 2: Design Studio III

Year 2: Environment II
This course focuses on the relationship between humans, the environment and sustainable design at a building and site level. Topics covered include human comfort, bioclimatic architecture, low energy design, water sensitive design, lighting, waste, materials, on-site power generation, user issues, as well as environmental performance assessments and life-cycle analysis. It provides the necessary skills to evaluate, and knowledge to design, a self-sufficient minimum or zero carbon small scale building.
-
Year 3: Design Studio V
This course develops design as a speculative process of inquiry and experimentation. It involves knowledge acquisition and the continuing development of skills to conceptualise, resolve and present well-reasoned architectural ideas through drawing, physical and digital modelling and laboratory sessions. Students approach design through an iterative process integrating critically observed aspects of the built environment into 3 dimensional formal propositions. The range of topics interrogated through this process include: site, precedent, human scale, structural engineering principles and material and physical data.
On an allocated site along North Terrace in Adelaide, opposite the SAHMRI,, students were asked to design a mixed-use building, comprised of two or more modules. This was to include some form of residential accommodation and some form of commercial or institutional facility for public use. A wide range of programs were available but students were required to challenge conventional interpretations, and create something that was "exciting, engaging, eye-catching, invoked curiosity, and contributed positively to the urban landscape".

Year 3: Representation III
In this course students will create a portfolio. This is an opportunity to consider issues of multipage documents including templates, master pages, font selection and the relationship of image and text and the unfolding of information, hierarchy and composition. The course places emphasis on the effective communication of visual concepts. The course provides the skills and knowledge for advanced 3D modelling, rendering, importing digital and photographic 3D models into Photoshop as perspectival montages and integration of CAD based drawings into graphic platforms. It may involve some laboratory workshop sessions as it explores advanced application of graphic software and the interaction with other discipline based software.
The project: Three acrobats enter from stage right, taking centre position. The troupe leader clicks play and the journey of Representation III begins.Taking inspiration from the Adelaide Fringe—a calendar event as synonymous with March as the return of first semester—students navigate their way through a series of tasks while utilising multiple software tools; each learning to work quickly and reactively with the aid of digital prototyping techniques.
The outcome of tasks enable students to refine their skillset - further developing their communication through diagram with a focus on decision making, narrative, and concepts.

Year 4: Advanced Construction
This course explores issues and concepts relating to contemporary developments in materials, construction and building engineering technology and introduces students to techniques appropriate for the production of medium to large scale buildings. Students will engage with these new theories and technologies in an exploratory environment to develop an understanding of various structural systems and elements, building fabric, materiality, detailing, and the relationship between design, construction and structures.

Year 5: Advanced Architecture Technologies
This course explores environmentally-responsible principles and technologies applicable for medium to large scale single to multi-storey buildings. It covers passive design, active design and low energy design principles and techniques for ventilation, heating, cooling and lighting, as well as issues relating to building materials, water sensitive design, energy production, and environmental performance assessments. The course will also involve the exploration and application of the relevant Australian standard codes.

Year 5: Advanced Ecology
Plant identification is an essential skill required to develop an understanding of plants as a material. Students designed, selected and curated a Plant Book to better understand plant knowledge in Greater Adelaide. This project allowed students to understand of relations between the plant, their environmental functional and aesthetic uses and building tools to be able to continue this knowledge beyond this subject.

Year 5: Studio Architecture
This studio explores the processes by which medium to large scale multi-storey urban projects are initiated, developed and documented. It will address issues related to various stakeholders, environmental systems, engineering infrastructure, structures and construction appropriate to the scale of such projects. Students are to develop critical thinking and develop responses to the challenges of a given context, producing designs which demonstrate understanding and critique of that context. The design exploration and proposition shall be communicated through graphic and verbal presentations and may include three dimensional models.
-
Year 5: Studio: Landscape Architecture
This studio provides opportunities for exploration of themes in contemporary landscape architecture including interrelationships with planning, ecology and infrastructure. The themes and sites will be ambitious in scale, including urban parks, post-industrial or urban renewal projects, consistent with effective consideration of the scale of ecological systems and the influence of planning policy. Models and digital modelling are typically emphasized in this studio. Students will also be introduced to extracting data using GIS software. Students will develop advanced integrated design strategies through site investigations, case studies and theoretical speculation. Advanced design resolution is required demonstrating critical application of strategic understandings to a specifically contextualised site.
