ADAPT AND EXTEND Designing an archeological museum.
T
he brief asked for us to design a new archaeological museum with a temporary and permanent exhibition space for Canterbury’s Archaeological Trust. The site was located in an area of historical importance. My project looked to modernise the aesthetics and the character of the existing building and its surrounding context in an authentic manor. An obvious choice was to use glulam for both a structural material and for aesthetics as timber is used both as an interior and exterior finish for many building in Canterbury. I also designed removable wooden panels as shown in the elevation below which could be slotted into triangles and pulled out. These could provide shade and greater privacy during private viewings.

Concept Strong linear features inspired by the jettied facades of the surrounding buildings. Studying Modernist art helped to strengthen this linear concept. Incorporating timber in the aesthetics and the structure, similar to the surrounding buildings for both the interior and exterior.
These diamoned elements will be columns that structurally support the building. They will also form displays that will hold some of the artefacts, attracting people from outside.

Most of the spaces receive sufficient daylight for the corresponding task, and thus there will be less need for mechanical lighting. The toilets and plant room however could need artificial lighting.

COLLECTIVE DWELLING Designing a masterplan and individual dwellings.

his project involved designing accommodation. The Project was divided into two stages, the first stage involved working in groups to develop a masterplan at the urban scale and the second stage involved individually designing a scale specific housing block or part block. My housing proposal was for professionals.

Environmental strategies The overhang of the roof and the balconies prevent high angled sunlight in the summer entering the building but allows low angle sunlight in winter to penetrate into the building. As shown int the solar studies. Thus the building can be partially heated and lit passively.

ARCHITECTURE AND LANDSCAPE Designing a garden centre and therapeutic gardens
This module involved designing a garden centre and therapeutic gardens for terminally ill patients. My design proposal was inspired by minimalist architecture. I chose this approach because I really wanted to create a sense of calmness for the patients that I felt could only be achieved through the simplicity of spaces. Additionally I also placed many windows inside of the building to allow for a greater integration between the interior and the exterior which would ultimately improve the well-being of the patients.
University of Kent
Vegetation in and around the site
Site analysis The site is heavily overshaded by the surrounding trees There is no official foot path from the university to the site. The site slopes from south to north with a gradient different of 25 metres.
Fruit and vegatables are grown(harvested) on the site
The Harvested produce is then used in the kitchen,-used for cooking and classes
Some of the produce is sold to the university of Kent- used in restaurants
Food that is thrown away by both the university and the kichen is collected and used as compost

Office
Sofa and rugs to create a relaxed atomsphere where it is comfortable for people to work and for patients to have counselling sessions.
Kitchen/ Dining
Produce from the gardens will be used in the kitchen for decoration and cooking.

There is no direct lighting system instead there is the use of candles and hidden plug sockets this is to allow for a more oragnic environment.

FORM AND STRUCTURE Designing a Roof structure for a market and car park.
T
his was a structural module. This module involved designing a permanent roof structure for a market space. We were required to highlight the structural hierarchy, provide gravitational and lateral load path diagrams and show the construction sequence. As the site given for the module was opposite the site for the Collective Dwelling module I decided to create a roof design that was similar to the my roof in the Collective Dwelling module as this would help to better connect the two sites.
