Heavy Metal on an Island

Kelburn Campus Gateway Sacred Space. Creating a modern sanctuary for the Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington – Sanctuary – provides an architecture of mystique, atmosphere, and reflection. Developed as Kelburn’s modern gateway, the building is representative of a secular, multi-cultural, multi-religious campus, where spaces of community and theatre have been developed to cater to all on campus. The building is composed of two different buildings: Sanctuary Building and Sanctuary Tower. The Sanctuary Building represents a modernised version of Kelburn’s Landmark, the Hunter Building, and the Tower acts as the interior joinery between both Landmarks. This assignment was based on the fourth-year sacred spaces stream. Assignment for ARCI 411 Architectural design research. A copper and concrete materiality was developed through the process complementary of the Hunter Building, with a researched programme inclusive of ""contemplative"", ""sanctuary"", and ""theatrical"" spaces."

Sanctuary

For this project, students were challenged to work with concrete as a structural system. This report considers the appropriate sizes and spans of structural members for the gravity structure and for the lateral load bearing structure that resists seismic and wind forces.

Va - Our Sea Of Islands [Structural Report]

The concept behind this design is how can we utilise emerging technologies within the board game industry. The board game industry is incredibly unique, its clientele are very particular about what advancements are deemed ‘okay’. If you push the medium too far then you risk subtracting from what separates board games from other more digital mediums.
