Wayne Morris | The University of Sydney (original) (raw)
After many years working in the low skilled workforce returned to study to complete my highschool certificate at 22 years of age. I obtained the highest enter score in my cohort which allowed me to enter into the Deakin University School of Architecture where I studied a Bachelor of Design (Architecture) and continued on to finish my Master of Architecture in 2014.
I stayed on at University to complete a Master of Construction Management which I completed in early 2015 again at Deakin University in Geelong, Victoria (Australia).
In 2017 I moved to Sydney, Australia where I worked in several positions from Access Consulting to being a Graduate of Architecture then later establishing a design consultancy where I worked mostly for clients in the construction sector.
Between 2019 and 2022 I designed several architectural projects including a heritage cottage extension in Balmain, Sydney; A forever home for members of the horse racing fraternity in regional NSW; and designed the community facilities for the Deerubbin Aboriginal Land Council located in Cranebrook, NSW.
I began studying a Juris Doctor at the University of Sydney in early 2020 as the coronavirus swept across the globe and of which I continued studying part time at the University of Sydney between 2020 and 2022 before moving back to Victoria and transferring my degree to continue at Deakin University in Geelong.
I am interested in Architecture History, Socioeconomical Issues, Sustainability, the Legal and Judicial system in Australia and working towards a career that would be of benefit to the community at large in hopes of being of assistance to those in our community who are in the greatest need of support.

They join the growing number of 6000 other young individuals nationwide who are already living in these facilities. These young people often suffer from severe disabilities as a result of an Acquired Brain Injury, or illnesses such as Huntington's Disease or Multiple Sclerosis, which affect their ability to function physically, mentally and sometimes emotionally. Their lives are marred by boredom, loneliness and a sense of isolation from society and their peers. Often they end up in these unsuitable living environments simply as a result of no other suitable accommodation being available to them which is designed for their specific needs. Australia currently sets out standards in the Building Code of Australia, the Disability Discrimination Act and the Australian Standards to provide construction standards to accommodate persons with disabilities, but for some with extreme disabilities these standards fall short of their requirements. This thesis will analyse the current demand for provision of accommodation for these young people in our society; how their disability affects how they interact with the built environment; what accommodation models might be suitable to address not only their physical, but social requirements; and finally, this thesis will investigate how more equitable accommodation may be procured for these young persons to have access to, keeping them away from nursing homes and a life marred by depression and isolation.

Although the civilisations looked at were separated by vast expanses of distance and time, each shared remarkable similarities in their religious philosophies and Architecture styles. How did this knowledge make its way from the Egyptians, to the Asian continents and eventually all the way to Southern America? and how can the architecture of the ancients be so similar, when each of these civilizations would not have even known about each other existence?

The period of architecture that will be in focus is the era preceding the 9th century CE., which marked the development of a new Burmese Kingdom known as Bagan in central Myanmar. There are some significant studies already conducted in this field of research, however what is lesser know about the developing Bagan kingdom, is what were the specific antecedents of the first temples, stupas and other religious monuments which appeared on the Myanmar landscape, built mostly by the Mon and the Pyu civilizations sometimes as early as the 1st century CE.. Existing research suggest heavy influence by Indian religious architecture which possibly traveled to the lands of the Mon and Pyu via Indian traders or sojourning Buddhist monks wanting to spread their religion to other kingdoms of South East Asia. So far much of what is known about the antecedents of early Myanmar architecture is for the most part assumptions based on archaeological evidence that does show some similarity between sites located at Beikthano in Myanmar, and Nagarjunakonda in India. However, comprehensive literature on the subject of the origin of Myanmar architecture is scarce and what literature does cover the subject can often be quite vague in its explanation. The following thesis will presently discuss several theories on potential origins of Myanmar architecture and conclude with an overview of where research currently may be lacking.
