The UQ great hall proposal uses a structured, layered landscape concept to shape the graduation procession and daily student occupation. Vegetation creates calm, shaded moments, surrounding the circular hall, whose hidden elevation turns the approach into a journey of discovery toward the center and heart of the building.

The project is a response to the sensitive urban fabric of the formal entrance to UQ, where form and experience is guided by respect towards the iconic horizon line, the 'hill town' tradition, and the value and purpose of the existing architectural surroundings. By rejecting the precedent notion of an ' object in a landscape', the project is instead a study of stereotomics to form an urban void.

This design proposal for a new UQ Graduation hall is heavily focused on cultural identity. The architecture of the building allows for exploration and exhibition of the cultures that travel to, and belong at UQ.

The project defined in two words.Bhanuteja in Javanese means sunlight, which is filtered through the leaves of the trees acts as it metaphorical word. While its philosophical value embodied through the word 'Ma' the space between elements, the time between the beginning and the end. Its the gap, the space and the pause but its not simply an absence but an active presence that shape experience.

Community housing proposal designed with care around a central azalea garden for senior women. This project aims to promote community engagement between residents, and provide a safe and comfortable living experience for all.

“I Wanted To Have A Little Break...” is a narrative that the space tells. As people move through it, some pause beneath the tree, letting the gentle breeze and calm air settle around them. Others slip through quickly, shaving a few seconds off their journey as they rush home to unwind. The space absorbs all these small narratives, one that holds brief, passing moments, much like a graduation.

This project proposes a new Great Hall at UQ that creates a spatial narrative of movement, memory, and material expression. A series of pavilions form a multi use precinct that celebrates community and provides an active space at the forefront of the uni. Through form, and exposure of structure, the main hall building celebrates the grandeur and richness of timber and the native bunya tree.

Designed around security, individuality, and community, The Greenslane supports older women from isolated or fragmented backgrounds. A linear terrace-inspired layout creates safe private dwellings and internal streets, leading to a shared garden and a meal kit distribution workshop that promotes connection, resilience, and collective wellbeing.

The proposed new UQ Graduation Hall is a journey of thresholds that mark students’ transformation to graduands to graduates. By establishing a symbolic axial link to Forgan Smith, the design creates layered transitions with a new public procession route, and sequences of compression and release that heighten anticipation, memory, and solemnity that leave a life-long impression on graduates.

The Great Court’s arches are used to celebrate UQ’s stories and achievements, similarly to the ritual of graduation; however, they also hold a special presence in student’s memories of their time at UQ. This project gathers students under one voluminous, extruded arch that recalls and commemorates those once-in-a-lifetime memories, whilst taking special consideration to enable daily use besides gr

The UQ Graduation Hall is emphatically contemporary and of its time, yet designed to conjure the traditional expression and majestic character of historic University Halls.
