FABRICATED PLACE
program:
An architecture that catalyses meaningful collaborative exchanges and assists in the formation of community by providing a site for shared experiences.

project vehicle:
Auckland Airport wish to fabricate place to augment ‘The District’ and operate as a nucleus of collaborative work space within The Quad Precinct.
Auckland Airport have a 20 – 30 year vision for the Quad Precinct however they wish to build community and provide extraordinary collaborative work amenity in the short to medium term. The brief of this project is to explore and present strategies both at an urban design scale and a particular scale for how Auckland Airport can develop The Quad Precinct to provide this amenity.
This is a live project with a real client and has real intentions for a built outcome.
design intentions:
Fabricated Place studio explores the role of architecture in catalysing meaningful exchanges and the formation of community through shared experiences. The studio will also analyse and extrapolate through design action the possibilities inherent in offsite construction.
The design agenda is:
fabricated landscape + fabricated shelter = fabricated place

Through active research, drawing, modelling and writing, the stories of the site and context will be represented, reviewed and opportunities for nodes of congregation and the interstices that link them will be offered. Through a distillation of the environment’s context, a site strategy will be formed.

Fabrications [off site systems of manufacture]
The studio group will undertake a series of site visits to a number of fabricators. These visits paired with further research and a extrapolative design process will result in at least two fabrication strategies being explored in terms of qualities for fabricating landscape and shelter to produce elegant systems of construction.
Details are strategies for how materials, forms and stories meet – these fabrications will be worked – collusions and corroborations made and presented.
