Project Title: Ascend
Company Name: Louise Mackay | Sydney Design School
Ascend is a pop-up cafe in collaboration with Sydney Festival and Carriageworks Sydney. The design is colourful and contemporary – a high contrast to the industrial host of the Carriageworks. Guests are invited to graffiti the walls of Ascend with messages of joy.
Project Title: Hump House
Company Name: Ying Ho Shiu (Hiro) | RMIT
Hump House is a desert-style, sustainable home. It achieved sustainable standards, through clever technical design. The ceiling design used tone effect paint to match with natural stone tiles on the floor, which also applied to the wall on the corridor. Copper patina effect was also applied to furniture and door panels.
Project Title: Queen Victoria Pavilion
Company Name: Michael Ren | University of Melbourne
This project, based loosely on the Queen Victoria M Pavilion, utilises a virtual reality engine to simulate the experience and effect colour has on a person. A blue chromatic exterior shell was created to distort the existing conditions of the site and interior. As seen from the renderings, the shell's reflective quality responds differently to external conditions, as well as the structure itself. The project expands on the philosophy that "colour induces experience" through exploring its influence and variability.
