Cafe Renders - Interior 2a - 2023 | Archi-Rendering | ArchiCAD/Blender/StableDiffusion/AdobeSuite ▼

A rendering project producing extremely accurate depictions of the architects vision including all dimensions and materials. The final visualisations were informed by material lists, incomplete and untextured ArchiCAD files, and verbal descriptions. The project heavily utilised a custom workflow I'd put together using a locally run instance of Stable Diffusion. This workflow has now been mostly superceded by more efficient processes but still offers advantages in speed and flexibility compared to current standard rendering methods.

SlowZone - 2 - 2023 | Site Analysis | CloudCompare/Blender/StableDiffusion/AdobeSuite ▼

ARBE 6233 Design Studio 9, an investigation into using blockchain assets to allow for fractional purchase and effective phytoremediation of industry contaminated land. The creature_itch and Bloc projects seen below informed a lot of the decisions in Slowzone.

Bloc - 2021 | Site Model (Group) | Rhino3D, Laser Cut MDF, White Card, Foam Core ▼

"As a response to the Australian dream of leasing property to others and the very poor quality of social housing in Newcastle, our group GARD proposes the 'bloc' model of social housing and ownership. Bloc uses the blockchain as an accurate, transparent digital ledger to heavily fractionalise property, profiting the thousands of owners, but leaving stability and development decisions in the hands of tenants. This shift in development costs and interests allows for the creation of low income housing geared towards diverse phenomenological experience."

Person Burner - 2022 | Site Section | CloudCompare/Rhino3D/Blender/AdobeSuite ▼

ARBE 6231, Studio 7. A satirical research based project looking at the Hunter Valley Coalmines through a lens of decarbonisation and consideration of the concept of the Carbocene.
Regarding the sanctification of Power gneration in Australia, we asked:
1. Can we create a more mindful attitude toward energy use in Australia through the use of human corpses in power generation?
2. Is divination (the projection of self in understanding the non-human) inherent in our interactions with all objects?
3. To what extent can the human body be adaptively re-used in the creation of every-day spaces?

creature_itch - 2021 | Turtle with Sunflowers Gold | Rhino3D/Grasshopper/AdobeSuite ▼

creature_itch (anagram of "architecture") is a personal project I've used over the years as a way to practice and explore parametric modelling concepts within Rhino3D and its plugin Grasshopper. It's core is a large Grasshopper script and 2 accompanying Python scripts which are able to produce 3D models, apply materials, render, and export (obj+webp) a batch of any number of unique creatures at the click of 3 buttons. In it's current form, the attributes of the creatures include 20 animal forms, 6 types of leaves, 6 types of flowers, and more, all of which can be set to appear within the greater collection at a desired frequency/rarity (see "Grasshopper Script with Example").

VR Gallery - 2023 | Rendered Charcoal Sketch 3 | ComfyUI/Adobe Suite ▼

A rendering and VR gallery project looking at producing accurate and highly extrapolated depictions of the artists vision including themes, styles, and materials. The final visualisations were informed by sketches, poetry, and verbal descriptions. The project heavily utilised a custom workflow I'd put together using a locally run instance of Stable Diffusion through ComfyUI. This project was a proof of concept and involved creating an environment using Unity.

Kinetic Watching Wall - 2021 | Exploded Elevation | Rhino3D/Grasshopper/Adobe Suite ▼

Response to ARBE2222, Architecture Design Studio 4. This project used analysis of site patterns to establish areas of high littering along the Honeysuckle waterfront and deter this with responsive kinetic structures. The DLA algorithm was used to mimic life-forms of the site and directly inform panel positioning. An Arduino system was designed and modelled to trigger a slow turn of the panels when detecting nearby motion. This Project led into a 2nd group assessment which used many of the ideas from the solo Kinetic Watching Wall. I was responsible for 3D modelling, video creation, and Arduino (see video).

SD to Mesh - 2024 | Tile | Stable Diffusion(ComfyUI)/Blender ▼

A personal project looking into creating and texturing 3d forms from single 2d images. The video was made from individual webp frames by asking a locally stored Large Language Model to produce a video at a certain framerate from the frames (After Effects and Photoshop weren't available). The whole process of video creation from frames (inluding making the script) was faster than if I'd used Adobe software.
