Architecture, 2023
Hi, my name is Jacob,
Throughout my degree I have enjoyed both a pragmatic, and creative approach to architecture.
To me, a project is not ‘done’ without designing rules and grids that can dictate the direction, and can eventually reach a point where the scheme feels like its designing itself.
I thoroughly enjoy the computational and digital design side of my projects, but I know there is still so much out there for me to learn.
One day I would love to be able to carry out projects that feel like architecture and not like buildings, but don’t we all…

The Chasm
‘The Chasm’ responds to the surrounding programs of cafes, and bars by acting as a filter to Garema Place. The design revolves around the continuation of the Braddon axis, embedding a cultural vessel as a path, between two volumes, in a twisting, welcoming gesture. The volumes encased in a programmatically responsive triangular façade provide both public-social and commercial-private spaces, while maintaining a site-evident theme of filtering through fractalisation. The Chasm creates an ‘Urban Lantern’ whilst simultaneously reinvigorating Garema Place as the living room of the city.
