RESEARCH THROUGH DESIGN PRACTICE
We seek out practitioners who have developed a body of work
demonstrating mastery of their field, invite them to reflect
upon the nature of that mastery within a critical framework, to
speculate through design on the nature of their future practice
and demonstrate their findings publicly.
We argue that architects and designers have a responsibility to
the furtherance of their practice domain and that this examination
of the nature of their mastery promotes and extends the
fundamental knowledge base of their profession, and thus its
ability to serve society.

Richard Goodwin
Transforming the Bones of Modernism
The city is a ‘coral reef’ and as such needs a re-classification, which accepts complexity and contingency
rather than the Utopian/Dystopian reductive thinking of both Modernism and Post Modernism.
Coral Typology is a vision for the city, and classification of its ongoing transformation, which concentrates
on building additions and subtractions rather than ‘Tabula Rasa’. Using the bones of Modernism as
building blocks for the next solution to social, spatial, urban planning and engineering needs, is put
forward in this talk, not only as a possible new architectural typology for city buildings, but also as a
methodology for design, which is fundamental to any discussion of ‘sustainable design’ practice.

ATLAS OF MAP OFFICE’S TERRITORIES: LANDMARKS, ISLANDS AND
OTHER LIQUID LANDSCAPES
The reflection on the contemporary issues of territory (globalization, urbanization, migration etc.)
is the starting point of this PhD dissertation. Moving through almost twenty years of multifaceted
navigations, the research-based practice of MAP Office has evolved across multiple fields and
disciplines. Along the way, the shift of medium and audience has created opportunities to explore new
territories in order to move away from the conventional field of architecture or urban design. In the
last six years, a specific focus on islands and other liquid territories has been developed as a subject/
object of studies. Through these investigations, the practice is now exploring the new geography of
a transient, globalized environment. A series of maps and cartographies of selected past and recent
projects have produced an atlas in which the role of the designer/architect/artist is challenged to
explore new territories, and a more narrative and fictional form of knowledge production. As an
example, the latest project - Hong Kong Is Land (2014), recently produced and exhibited at the Museum
of Modern Art in New York, introduces a taxonomy of spatialization that explores a new definition of
territory expanding from the realm of architecture and urbanism.

MACAU CONTEXT, THE DENSITY, THE VOID AND THE PUBLIC SPACE
In the south of Spain you drink red wine with lemon, ice and gasosa, in the Alps vin brûlée, it goes to say
that places far from the center are prone to develop lateral creations, because their inhabitants don’t feel
trapped by the mainstream ideologies.
The two main contexts in this research are the city of Macau and myself, an Italian trained architect that
has moved first to Portugal and later to Macau. The chemistry between these contexts informs all project
acts and strategies of my practice.
The specificity of Macau urbanism, its density and my own background and training have triggered a
process of evolutionary adaptation, where the way I practice architecture has changed due to context,
to be able to address itself to the local conditions. The administrative singularity of the situation allowed
the development of a new architectural identity for Rui Leao and I. The Macau handover date of 20th of
December 1999 is a defining date for the development of the city, a city that is no longer colonised but
not entering in a regular postcolonial phase.
The proposed organisation is in line with the density coping strategies that the city has in place for urban
growth, whereas the way to design within these strategies has been, in my case, a reinterpretation of the
mainstream ideologies of conservation and city interpretation that I have brought with me from Milan.

DESIGNING IN THE WORLD OF COMMODITIES
As globalization expands with no boundaries, its new phase of mass production has taken the head in
front of personalization. In effect, globalization is positively affecting societies by opening borders and
blurring differences, satisfying the needs of the widest, yet leading to an unconscious loss of cultural
identity.
A similar thing is happening in architecture. Nowadays, anything can be built, and almost any obstacle
can be overcome. Today’s fast-pace world often gives architects time pressure, resulting in designs that
lack local identities. In other words, globalization has turned designs into commodities that have no
cultural diversity.
Taiwan faces these globalized pressures, but also found its own distinctive way since 2005. We were
lucky to be a part of the start-up, and produced products to match the market demands. This PhD
examines how we in this capitalist society bring architecture back from pure marketing, but still
adapting branding, interactivity, individual, collective/socialism into the design interaction in a pure,
non-decorated state. Giving architecture a meaning of its own from the program they began with,
rebranding architecture as a non(?)commoditive experience.

CONTRA-BUTION: DESIGNING FOR CHANGE IN AN EMERGING
VIETNAM
Mobility, migration and globalization continue to increase the frequency in which architecture and design professionals choose to practice outside their own cultural, educational and professional context.
It is generally accepted that when a professional relocates to a foreign country they do so on the understanding that they will adopt the local rules, regulations and standards of their new location. However, it
is often the case in emerging markets that comparable controls and regulations either do not exist, are
not well understood, are not well regulated or are not enforced. This places the practicing professional in
a challenging, often difficult position.
Through reflection on, and analysis of, the practice and projects of OUT-2 Design, a foreigner-founded
and owned design practice operating in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam since 2004, this research investigates
the role of the architectural and design practice as a vehicle for change, in the emerging market context
of Vietnam.
The investigation has been framed within four themes:
•
Architects must build; and architecture must change,
•
Design is: Responsible,
•
Design is: Responsive; and,
•Contra-bution.
Together these themes formulate a position on the role of modernity, mode of practice, ethics and built
work in effecting change, improving life, and contributing beyond the normal remit of a professional
design practice.

THE JAPANESE SHOW GARDENS AND THE LABORATORY
Show gardens are ephemeral design pieces and as the name suggests, are public shows where gardeners
have a platform to exhibit their designs and work. Show gardens are typically short-lived and are taken
down within two weeks from the start of the show. Because of the absence of a client as such, the
designer has a certain freedom to explore their design, providing good laboratories for experimentation.
My research takes place within the framework of three successive yearly show gardens that I designed
and built. They were held in Sasebo, Nagasaki in the autumn of 2011, 2012 and 2013. In each case the
design process took about eight months and construction lasted approximately twelve days.
My paper seeks to describe the experiments, to narrate and reflect upon the result and find out how this
has influenced my other works. To understand what has built, how it came about and to discover any
happy accidents and coincidences that may lead to some interesting new discoveries.

THE CIVIC ROLE OF PUBLIC SPACE IN POST HANDOVER MACAU
The City of Macau has grown out of an intense relationship with the water. Its location and meaning
are related to water and the Portuguese seafaring history. The phenomenal urban development that
the city has undertaken through time hasn’t always focused on the relationship with the river and
the sea. Our practice has been involved in various infrastructure projects along the waterfront since
1996, designing parks, public facilities and more recently the Light Rail Transport line, where we have
continuously taken the opportunity to engage with the stakeholders involved to re-think the public
space and redirect the intentions of the City development towards its original flux and purpose: the
surrounding water surface.
Along with our previous public space and infrastructure projects along the waterfront, including
the Nam van Square and the Sai Van Park developed for the south of the Peninsula these projects
have been used to rethink the relation between the dense city and its waterscape in a public space
oriented strategy.

CHINA BACK-UP: TOWARDS AN EVOLUTIONARY PLANNING SYSTEM
FOR PRESSURED URBAN LANDSCAPES
Where collaborations and inefficiency cross can design practice become design research? This
research tells the story of three decades of rapid urban transformation in China. Through GIS maps,
models, articles, interviews, video and art installations the spatial and social evolution of this
landscape of exacerbated difference is charted. The findings are unequivocal in one respect: in this
radical context sustainable planning demands radical new models. Through commercial projects and
counterproposals the different implications of the findings are explored, with the aim to define a new
planning paradigm for China and other Asian economies increasingly looking to copy its pathway of
breakneck development.

TOWARDS A DISTINCTIVE URBANISM: APPLICATIONS AND
IMPLICATIONS OF COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN INTELLIGENCE AND
PROTOTYPING FOR C21 CITIES
Given the unprecedented speed and seemingly unstoppable pace of city building in the 21st century,
a paramount challenge for architects and urbanists is the convergence of sameness among cities
worldwide. Locating a research problematic on the limitations of conventional urban masterplanning,
this research investigates the intersection of the ubiquitous uniformity of cities, and the possibility
of prototyping multiple futures, specified to local contingencies and constraints. The research will
address the theoretical and practical consequences of computation and fabrication technologies
upon the twenty-first century city, and the notion of an interactive urban model.

MASS–CUSTOMISED CITIES
Guest-edited by

What happens when computational design and
fabrication technologies ramp up to the urban
scale? Though these innovative production
processes are currently now largely limited to
small-scale design projects, what will happen
when they are applied to the vast scale of the
21st-century world city? Could new technologies
enable an important shift away from mass
production to increasingly bespoke and
custom-designed systems? The introduction of
standardisation and mass production processes in
the 20th century saw the industrial city take on
a repetitious and homogeneous quality through
the duplication of component parts. Today nonstandard, bespoke systems hold out the promise
of realising a distinctive urbanism; characterised
by the differentiation of serial production and the
variation of simple parts that should lead to a more
complex and compelling whole. Given the current
pace and rate of urbanisation in Asia, the mass
customisation of the city is set to have imminent
and far-reaching practical consequences for the rest
of the developing and developed world.

RMIT Architecture & Design SUPERVISOR BIOGRAPHIES
Richard BLACK
Dr Richard Black is a registered architect and Professor at RMIT University where he is head of the Bachelor
of Architectural Design degree. With Michelle Black, he is a partner in Times Two Architects. Richard’s
teaching, practice and research activities explore overlaps and adjacencies between architecture and
landscape. He has developed off-site and on-site techniques as a process to engage with complex large
scale landscape systems. He has co-authored two books on his design studio teaching at RMIT University.
Richard is also a founding member and contributor to the X-Field group in the School of Architecture +
Design. The agenda of the X-Field project is to promote a continuing and significant discourse amongst
like-minded practitioners who challenge the convention of their respective disciplines. A touring
exhibition supported by symposia and collected contributions to this dialogue began in Melbourne,
followed by Seoul, Beijing and Taipei before returning to Melbourne in an expanded format (http://www.xfield.org). Richard’s mapping of the Murray River floods, fieldwork and associated design projects, have
been acquired by the Centre for Art + Environment, Nevada Museum of Art, Reno, USA. Richard’s design
projects have been nationally and internationally recognised through exhibition and publication. He has
previously worked in practice in Western Australia and Austria. He obtained his B.Arch (first class honours)
from Curtin University (WA), and has completed post-graduate study under Professor Peter Cook at the
Städelschule Art Academy, Frankfurt, Germany. He completed an M.Arch (by project) in 1998 and a Phd
(2009) both at RMIT University.
