Sydney has various special entry programs. They're not extensive, but Architecture takes part in the Flexible Entry program. Basically, it involves them allowing you in with a UAI up to 5 points below the cut-off if you demonstrate an 'aptitude for the subject'. Architecture faculty has more details on its specific program here:

students will be assessed on their portfolio and a detailed analysis of high school performance including UAI and performance in individual HSC subjects. Good grades in English and subjects requiring interpretive ability are weighted positively.

Apart from that, the main option would be to do a different course for a year, go well and transfer into the course you want.
