BIOCassie Vicente is currently completing her Bachelor’s degree in

Architecture at the University of New South Wales. She is due to

graduate in June of 2016.

Her fascination with the human interaction of space and creative

solutions has led her to gain experience in a variety of design

outlets. Through her time as a student of architecture, she has had

the opportunity to work within the creative industry in design practice,

exhibition curation and design publication.

During her time as a student, Cassie has developed an interest in

sustainable, low tech architecture that responds to its environment.

She hopes to pursue this interest into her working career. Upon

completing her degree, Cassie is seeking to immerse herself in the

industry with practices that align with her approach to design.

SITE MODEL

Cooba, NSW

Balsa wood

The site approach to this project is one of built connection to the rocky outcrop landscape. The programatic

layout is separated within smaller folly buildings to encourage a meandering around the site.

A dialogue is created between heavy rammed Earth walls and a lightweight timber pavilion to construct a

contrast throughout the site. In elevation, strong punched hole in the earth walls intrigue an exploration of the

folly like structures, touching the land lightly.

A language of contrast is set up through the buildings on the site. The heavy rammed earth walls anchor

the pavilion structure, as the punched entrance way reveals a lightweight attached post and beam dwelling.

Detailing between the earth wall and suspended roof allows a delicate filtering of Eastern light, whilst western design consideration produces appropriate shading and cooling elements within the architecture.

OBSERVATIONALSITE SKETCHES

on brown card

The historically significant site is rich in charcater and still uses reminants of it’s industrial past as key moments within the site. A study of the existing site revealed moments of interest.

The outdoor experimental art foundation takes the approach of deliberate scattered follies which engage

specific senses to house and enhance the site specific artworks.
