Hello, My name is Linda Bennett, I recently graduated from the University of Technology, Sydney, Australia - B. Arts Ar-chitecture + M. Architecture.

I graduated from UTS with a 90%+ average and achieved the highest aggregated marks across all areas of study, in-cluding history, theory, practice, construction and design. I was awarded the Outstanding Student of the Year Prize in 2011 and I was also nominated by UTS for the 2011 Student Architects Medallion which is the most significant award a student can obtain in NSW.

While studying at UTS I focused primarily on establishing my own agenda which at all times met and exceeded the sub-ject outline. I am concerned with addressing the unique is-sues that exist in the context of each subject and/or project. As such my design and elective projects focused on a wide spectrum of considerations. This allowed me to continually research and develop a broad knowledge about architec-ture, the city, and its user.

I believe it is important to mentor, listen, teach and actively participate in the communication which surrounds architec-ture. While at UTS I founded archi-ninja.com which gave me an online forum for ideas. The identity of archi-ninja has al-lowed me to write for Architecture Australia, Architectural Re-view and to participate at conferences including the National Architecture Conference, 2010.

In 2010 I was nominated by UTS to attend a study tour of Los Angeles, allowing me to participate in symposiums with CAL Poly and CAL Tech university students, attending lec-tures, guided tours and interviewing Frank Gehry.

In 2006 I was employed by Architectus, Sydney. While at Architectus (in collaboration with Ingenhoven Architects,

Germany) I worked on 1 Bligh Street, Sydney (www.1bligh.com.au). I worked on the project during all stages of devel-opment, from Competition to Practical Completion. I also managed my own multi-million dollar commercial projects, 54 Miller Street, Windeyer Chambers and St Martins Tower.

I have extensive experience in the commercial industry and a good understanding of the Sydney commercial market. At Architectus I was exposed to all processes relating to de-sign, administration and management. I am capable of man-aging large internal and external teams.

I am a profi cient Revit user and was in part responsible for establishing the Revit modelling standards across the inter-nal and external team for projects including 1 Bligh Street, 54 Miller Street and Windeyer Chambers.

I am capable of working in high pressure environments and I enjoy working individually and in a team . I build strong professional relationships and get along very well with my peers.

I am a creative and positive individual and enjoy being in-volved on the elements of design which are unconventional.

I am driven by the desire to be successful, to learn and to become a better individual. I am inspired by creative and motivated people who make a difference to the perception and practice of architecture. I also have many mentors and inspirations which expand beyond the industry.

The following documents my professional, academic and personal projects and experience.

Letter of reference for Linda Bennett

I highly recommend Linda as a candidate for employment. Linda was employed by Architectus from December 2006 - July 2011. She was initially employed as an Architectur-al Student and promoted to Architectural Designer upon graduation. Her work was always to a high standard and warranted elevated responsibility. Linda was given the role of team leader and competently duel managed multi-million dollar projects.

Linda was a valuable team member on projects including 1 Bligh Street, Hillsong Church, and 100 Mount Street. Linda was given a high level of exposure and having proven to be mature and capable across all phases of the building pro-cess she was promoted to team leader on projects including Windeyer Chambers, 54 Miller Street and 31 Market Street.Linda is very tedious, motivated and organised. She has a positive and infl uential temperament and is capable of man-aging high levels of stress. Her attitude and enthusiasm has allowed her to grow immensely and to obtain the respect of both internal staff and external consultant and contractor teams.

Linda has a natural ability to operate effi ciently in the high pressure environments, and always delivers information and documentation to a very high standard. She is self-driven and assumes a very high level of responsibility and owner-ship for her work.

Linda is astute and able to multi task highly sophisticated and technical elements of complicated projects. She is ca-pable of understanding and managing both small and large scale issues. Linda has been exposed and involved to all stages of the design and building process from Competition and Feasibility Studies to Practical Completion, including project administration, development of fee structures, proj-ect programming and resources.

Linda quickly absorbs information and is capable of effec-tively putting her knowledge into practice. Linda is also a very competent Revit user and has helped to establish the modelling standards for all projects including 1 Bligh Street. Linda has organised, managed and directed design and site

consultant meetings and is liked by the consultant and con-tractor team.

Linda has shown initiative and leadership throughout her time working at Architectus. I believe she is a highly suc-cessful individual capable of managing her own projects or fi rm. She has proven to achieve whatever she puts her mind to.

Linda has been a pleasure to work with, she is consider-ate and has been infl uential to those around her. She has shared knowledge and skills to individuals beyond her expe-rience and is an outstanding team player.

I believe Linda will be an invaluable employee to any organ-isation and I therefore offer my highest endorsement.

Kind regards,

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Letter of reference for Linda Bennett

It is with great pleasure that I write to recommend to you Ms Linda Bennett as a recent graduate of the School of Archi-tecture at the University of Technology, Sydney. Ms Bennettis an exceptional student and architectural advocate, blend-ing extraordinary design skills with a passionate and inde-pendently critical position on architecture.

Ms Bennett completed her studies with us as the end of the 2010 academic year, and graduated with the Master of Ar-chitecture degree in 2011. Ms Bennett performed at the level of Distinction or High Distinction in the majority of her sub-jects in the undergraduate Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, and with one exception, at High Distinction level in all of her subjects in the postgraduate Master of Architecture degree.

Ms Bennetts strengths undoubtedly lay in her commitment to and demonstration of excellence in a variety of design projects. Given the opportunity to select from a range of pos-sible studios, each win a difference design and intellectual focus, Ms Bennett undertook design projects relating to En-vironmental Sustainability and Environmental Performance, as well as working within the area of Disciplinary Transforma-tions and taking part in a Competition Studio. In all her studio choices she has excelled, and demonstrated her considered position and talented design skills and strong commitment to professional practice.

At the completion of her course, Ms Bennett was the out-standing student of the year, receiving the highest WAM (Weighted Average Mark) overall, and was the recipient of anumber of Australian Institute of Architect prizes, winning the UTS Masters Graduate of the Year Prize, and the Construc-tion and Practice Prize while being nominated for the Historyand Theory Prize. Ms Bennett was recently also nomi-nated for the 2011, Student Architects Medallion, the most significant award a student can obtain in NSW.

Ms Bennett was an outstanding student, not simply on the basis of her own high academic performance but as a con-tributor both to the school and to her colleagues, by virtue of her ongoing engagement in the discussions and debates that are a major part of the School, and her significant men-toring role with younger students.

I have no hesitation in recommending Ms Linda Bennett as a talented young architecture graduate with an outstanding future ahead of her, and worth your most serious attention. I wish her the very best of luck in whatever endeavors in architecture she undertakes.

Sincerely,

1 Bligh Street, Sydney: (December 2006 - July 2011)Team Member

Architects: Architectus, Sydney and Ingenhoven Archi-tects, Germany. Client: DEXUS Property Group/DEXUS Wholesale Property Fund/Cbus Property . Value: $270m. Floor Area: 42, 000m2 Status: Completed, July 2011.

See the Professional Project Summary on pages 03-04 of Curriculum Vitae for my specifi c roles and responsibilities.

Winner of the DEXUS/City of Sydney design competition Architectus, in association with Ingenhoven Architects (Ger-many), have designed and constructed a highly sustainable offi ce tower that has achieved a 6 Star Green Star Offi ce Design V2 Certifi ed Rating from the Green Building Council of Australia.

Extending the ideas proposed in the Stage 1 DA, the pro-posal for 1 Bligh Street was developed with three critical considerations: the View, the Public Space, and the Work Environment.

The View: The corner of Bligh and Bent Street strongly marks the main address for the building. The elliptical form aligns with the grid to the north and is oriented to the harbour, maxi-mising views and creating premium offi ce space and a qual-ity work environment.

The Public Space: The reduced building footprint creates a signifi cant new public space for Sydney that allows deep soil landscaping and extends Farrer Place.

Broad curving steps rise to the sheltered wintergarden and provide an ideal place to sit in the sun and appreciate the full expanse of Farrer Place and the heritage buildings of the Education and Lands Department.

The Work Environment: The Work Environment is designed around the principles of ESD, fl exibility, effi ciency, communi-cation and transparency.

The sustainability strategies were designed to achieve a 6 Star Green Star Certifi ed Rating and a 5 Star NABERS En-ergy Rating. A fully shaded double skin facade provides ex-cellent Indoor Environment Quality (IEO).

The structure delivers consistent large fl oor plates of up to 1600m2 and achieves 92% effi ciency Net Lettable Area to Floor Space Area. 40% of all offi ce space is within 4.5m of the facade. The building achieves a 1000m2 contiguous column-free space creating high potential for offi ce layout fl exibility. The elliptical plan is 12% more effi cient than a rect-angular building in facade to fl oor area and allows excellent natural light penetration. The 120 metre high central atrium makes dynamic views accessible to all.

Architectus proposed a minimum of 1000 square metres of continuous column free space and aspirations for a transparent facade. This lead to the structural solution for an innovative long span floor structure. Radial post tensioned beams cantilever 6 metres. The eccentric curved concrete cores provide the building's lateral structure.

Structure: (Concept Drawings)

Typical Plan arrangement

1 Bligh St is Sydneys first 6 Star Green Star rated high rise building and achieves a 5 star ABGR rating. In order to achieve this 1 Bligh St incorporates a number of green inititaves including a double skin facade (with the possibility for naturally ventilating the building in the future), a naturally ventilated atrium, the use of a specially formulated high strength concrete, incorporation of chilled beams, tri-generation plants, on site black water treatment and efficient fittings and fixtures.

The east and west facades will require the blind to be tilted down (up to 70) in the early morning and late afternoon to prevent lower angle sun from infiltrating. Lower levels experience greater shading protection from surrounding buildings as can be seen by the greater extent of yellow shading at Level 14 compared to Level 1. The majority of the building will experience an open/retracted blind position or horizontal blind position on this day.

Low angle winter sun is blocked in the early morning by surrounding buildings but requires blinds to be almost closed for the northern, north east and north-west orientations during the late afternoon. A tilt angle will need to be applied during most hours of the day.

Commercial Tower Proposal: (4th Year Design - July - November 2009)

11510 Architectural Design: Environmental Perfor-mance:University of Technology, Sydney

The following project was completed over 12 weeks. The brief required students to propose a commercial building situated between Martin Place and Chifl ey Plaza, Sydney.

The project extended the requirements of the brief to re-spond to the larger issues of Sydney. This included Syd-neys lack of fi ne grain, generic and loose planning controls, minimal sunlight to public spaces, strong wind tunnels, failed transportation networks, lack of livability, public culture and creativity.

The oval shaped building is situated as an object within the square, which is lifted off the ground to visually connect Mar-tin Place and Chifl ey Plaza. The ground fl oor is developed as an active civic square with new retail and public programs. The surrounding roads are re-designed to provide pedestrian amenity. The oval shape also responds to issues of wind tun-nelling and is 8% more effi cient than a rectangular building.

The building is situated at the edge of Martin Place to re-spond to the commercial nature of the precinct, this allows more than 50% of the site and Chifl ey Plaza to have full ac-cess to winter sunlight.

The core is separated from the building to shade the western facade, this also allows the fl oor plate uninterrupted views towards the harbour and other key destinations. Naturally ventilated atriums respond to the direction of local wind con-ditions. These atriums have direct visual connections to the harbour, Chifl ey Plaza and Martin Place.

The fl oor plate is 100% continuous; can easily be divided into multiple tenancies, and all fi re egress requirements are met. The shape and orientation of the building provides 96% of the fl oor plate with useful light penetration of 250 mini-mum lux. The building has an overall effi ciency of 83% NLA/GFA, and an overall effi ciency of 93% NLA/FSA. This was achieved through the exclusion of naturally ventilated fl oor space from FSA calculations when enclosed by a balcony.

Structurally the building is a diagrid solution (800mm dia) which removes most of the required columns from the fl oor plate. It is typically 20% more effi cient than a traditional con-struction.

The building design was tested in design builder to calculate a 5 Star operational NABERS rating, it also achieves a 6 Star Green Star and premium grade commercial rating. En-vironmental considerations include orientation, power gen-eration, envelope optimisation, water collection and building fl exibility.

Currently the site is surrounded by a Dom- inant Built Context (H- eritage)

The context provides opportunity for the proposal to express and liberate surrounding b- uildings.

The building is situated as an object within the space. Delic- ate and expressive.

Currently there is no Connection Between Martin place and Ch- ifley Plaza.

The site provides opportunity to visually and physically connect two major locations in the CBD.

The building is Lifted off the ground to open up the site to public activities.

Currently the discon- nection between Mart- in Place and Chifley Plaza is further esc- alated by heavy traffic.

The site provides opportunity to redirect ne- gative Vehicular Infl- uences

Public, retail and Co- mmercial activities are located on Ground floor, Chifley Plaza is re-developed.

Currently the site has no access to Winter Sun

The site provides opportunity to provide winter sunlight to more than 50% of the site.

The location of the building is moved to the front of the site.

Currently the site has expansive and significant Views.

Ground Floor Plan

The ground level functions as an active civic square, it is both formal and temporal. The outcome of opening up the site, by removing built mass is that the adjacent buildings have more prominent street frontages, this increases their property value and provides an opportunity for them to respond by activating their own frontages. Various Public activities are placed on Ground floor including Channel 7 studios, temporary art/gallery spaces, cafes and restaurants, retail and commercial functions. In perspective the site reads coherently but with a diverse cross section of activities along the site. Fine Grain is encouraged at ground level which is open to the public, protected from downdrafts and exposed to winter sun. The ground floor functions as a social hub with a focus on public transport; the exit from the underground train station has direct relationship to the buildings core. The site also seeks to be flexible, capable of supporting various activities and responding to temporal and future demand. The ground floor has a relationship to the activates of the tower, active balcony edges allow longer views into the building creating a connection between those at ground plane & those above.

Large Scale water Collection and Recycling

The building is supported by the fundamental principles of ESD. The building orientation & location of the core seeks to maximise both sunlight penetration & provides shading to the Western facade.

20% of the volume is naturally ventilated. The structural system is more efficient than traditional construction and the shape of the building is 8% more efficient than a rectangle.

The facade is designed to be both efficient, elegant and sustainable. The shape of the building reduces the volume to surface are ratio, while fixed shading is incorporated into the a 800mm clear ventilated cavity.

A number of calculations were used to test the facade shading effectiveness. The shading is fixed and integrated into the design concept in order to minimise cost.

Trigeneration or trigen is the simultaneous production of mechanical power (often converted to electricity), heat and cooling from a single heat source such as fuel or solar energy.

As with cogeneration, the "waste heat" which is produced as a by product that results from power generation is harnessed & used to supply 100% of the buildings electrical and power requirements.

The floor plate is organised around social sustainability and workplace quality. The floor plate offers flexibility which is a key concept in Environmental design. In any number of configura-tions the building functions the same.

The building is easily divided and maintained in such a way that running costs are low and Indoor environmen-tal quality is mainted at a high standard.

The project recognises the importance of water con- servation. High Efficiency fixtures, dual flush toilets, wat- erless urinals are installed. 100% of Large scale rain- water collection is to be used for flushing toilets, hosedown areas and irrigation.

On site Water collection /ret- ention will reduce flow to se- wer rates by approx 90%. Details are incorporated into paving for seamless collection.

Structural Section

Structural Concept

The building incorporales a structural diagrid which reinforces the geometry. Most of the required columns are moved to the exterior of the floor plate to optimise NLA and internal quality of space. The Internal column loads are transferred to the diagrid at the mid rise and low rise plant levels to all the Ground floor to be liberated, this opens up the ground plane significantly and provides a more elegant solution. The structural diagrid is 20% more efficient than atypical construction. The structure and facade are highly integrated visually, while environmentally the structure allows a large cavity for natural ventilation and shading. The Core and Floor plates are expressed as separate objects, the lightness of the structure allows the floor plates to appear as light and elegant as possible. The up tuned edge beam allow high floor to ceiling heights which maximise useful daylight penetration and external views. Structure is vital to achieving the buildings concept, efficiency and effectiveness.
