Creative Work


A re-model of the new Roche building located in Dee Why which was completed last year as the final major project at Ultimo College. The brief was to re-model a building of your choice by obtaining documentation from an architectural firm. This building was chosen as it reflects my personal criteria; a diverse building.

Architecture


Designed by: Bernard Tschumi Architects

The Blue Residential Tower 2007 in New York blends with the sky with its multi coloured blue tinted glazing. From afar, the building gives off an illusion of an incredibly fragile pixelated box which entirely caught my eye. What most was interesting about the building is the strategy; allowing maximum space towards the top while slightly going over the site boundary.


Something Beautiful


The image above was taken at Dreamworld in Queensland summer 2010. The sun set here is the last traces of the summer sunlight before night fall. The day was a blast!
