I am Khevin Lee, graduating in 2025 with a Bachelor of Design (Architecture) from Swinburne University of Technology. I learned and explored a lot from these three years. I am excited to start my career in the real architecture industry.

My interest in this subject is exploring new techniques and modern architecture style. Additionally, learning architecture styles from different countries and cultures help me to understand more about this industry. On top of that, communication, teamwork, and time management are the most valuable soft skills to learn.

Studio 5 - Museum X (Lush)

In Newport (North Williamstown), our site sits between homes and historic railway workshops, yet usable greenspace is scarce. We asked: beyond preserving artifacts, could a “railway museum” bring everyday life back? That question sparked Lush—not trains in a box, but rail heritage planted into a garden you can arrive at, see through, and linger in. The long volume follows the boundary and stays porous at street level, where historic trains act as narrative anchors that turn curiosity into entry. At the centre, a green court with water works as the neighbourhood’s outdoor living room; above, a belt of learning and community rooms links across the garden, while back-of-house routes stay controlled and discreet, keeping order without friction. The vision is clear: use returning greenery and welcoming display to translate rail history into a shared, contemporary landscape—a place to arrive, dwell, and want to return to.

Studio 5 _Museum X (Lush)

Introducing to you “Lush”, a railway museum in North Williamstown (Newport), which incorporates the concept of reviving the rich history of the past and incorporates greenery within the area during the First Nation era. At the same time, improving well-being and community, while honouring the site’s rich history and identity, and providing a unique interaction for visitors through the preservation of trains from the past. Welcoming you with a calm nature from the train exhibition to the central garden featuring waterfalls and an open space.

Acknowledgement of Country

The School of Design and Architecture respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners and knowledge-keepers of the lands, waters and sky that surround us, where we work, learn, create, communicate and make place. We recognise that sovereignty has never been ceded and this always was and will always be Wurundjeri Country. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who continue to make a better world through design.

We extend our acknowledgement to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, students, alumni, real-life clients, and knowledge keepers, who have contributed to our own education diversity and growth. We will continue to ensure that staff and students respectfully honour ancestral connection to Country and Place in everything that they do.

We are dedicated to the notion of design to make a better world and we acknowledge that making tools, shaping place, sharing stories, making meaning, wayfinding and collaborating have long been and continue to be both central and integral to First Peoples' cultures. We recognize that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ cultural contributions have continued relevance to design practice and commit to: reconciling ancestries of design and contemporary practice as well as pursuing culturally and professionally appropriate ways to engage with a diverse population of colleagues, industries and clients. In a time of treaty-making and voice we understand that there are overlaps between caring for Country and the sustainable production of goods, services, experiences, products and buildings.

Guided by the principles of respect, reconciliation, and reciprocity we undertake to indigenising and decolonising design practice by dismantling colonial structures and challenging biases that have marginalised Indigenous voices and design.

As students of SoDA you will be given opportunities to both engage with and educate yourself in Indigenous creative practices and cultural protocols through a lens of inclusivity, diversity, respect, mutual understanding, inter-cultural dialogue in all aspects of design practice. Indigenous people have been telling stories, making tools, and connecting to Country through visual media, placemaking and place marking for more than 60,000 years and these practices are part of an ongoing, evolving and live tradition.
