TRANSFERABLE SKILLS COMPUTER TECHNIQUES I have an adept knowledge of AutoCAD, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Indesign, Google SketchUp, Kerkythea Rendering and all Microsoft Office applications. Equally, fundamental skills comprise oF ArchiCAD , AutoArchitecture, MicroStation, Adobe Illustrator and various other Adobe design applications. I would like to develop my skills in rendering software programs further. INTERESTS AND ACHIEVMENTS I am always keen to try new things and become members of various societies, for example Active Citizenship committee, where my role as Finance Director allows me to understand the responsibilities present when dealing with money. I have also recently completed my Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Volunteering at a Rainbows group allows me to interact with various people, of all age groups and the preparation and enthusiastic execution of tasks is vital. Moreover, playing the piano is a great passion of mine, along with sketching and painting as a means of relaxation. My artwork has entered and featured in many competitions including Tate Liverpool’s School exhibition and in the Saatchi Gallery, which I am very proud of. I have also spent a great part of my school years enjoying and developing skills in life drawing, strengthening my ability to draw from eye, maintaining ability to deal with proportion and perspective. ARCHITECTURE In my Third Year of studies at Bath University, I became the Oculus Prize Winner, chosen by the Architecture School for the Malta Design project. My final year project was something very close to my personal interests. I achieved the end of year Ken Smithies prize for design and construction. The work is due to be featured in BD Magazine, and soon to be submitted for the Bronze RIBA Presedents medals prize.

CURRICULUM VITAE amani radeef
Orthodoxy is very much known for the exaggeration of ritual and procession within a holy place; the importance of arrival onto a place as a means of cleansing and release for the human soul before entering atmospheric and religious places of worship. Currently in Stroud, due to the location of religious meeting spaces, there seems to be a lack in any sense of arrival and often most places of worship seem to be lost amongst the urban grain of the town centre. The brief is to provide a seminary with an aim to nurture and cultivate both practically and spiritually. The opportunity to bring a sense of ritual and ceremony into Stroud seems very challenging in a place of unorthodoxy and nonconformity. However, somewhere as extravogant and unconventional as Stroud would be accepting of it and engage in the public aspects of the scheme.

This year we were asked to prepare the design for a new Market Hall serving the City of Bristol. The brief however, endeavours to significantly evolve the typology by adding educational and exhibition spaces. In short, this ‘new’ typology is intended as an intelligent and realisable challenge to the supermarket model but integrating some of its logistical advantages. By bringing independent sellers together resources may be shared and integrated. The project will be managed by trustees of which the city council will be a major stake-holder. By this means the ethical position of stallholders with regard to food can be managed. The site is deliberately located adjacent to Temple-Meads station on the approach to the City and the feeder canal. The main aim was to revitalise the human connection to food by social interventions rather than it becoming a monotonous act.

The site located on bristol’s vibrant waterfront, this was a perfect opportunity to create a new street art museum to showcase and exhibit banksy’s work, an artist who started and is famous to bristol and its architecturem becoming a part of it. My scheme aims to create a central external corridor between a louder public building and the quiter exhibit areas, linked by bridging corridors. the walkway then exposes the open workshop spaces that are made to exibit the production.

After a trip abroad to Valletta, the brief asked to design a performance space alongside hostel accomodation along the water front, as a way to revitalise the lost waterfront of malta. The main theme i explored was layers within the city, identifying it as a main theme running through the city; from its form and layout, through to the materiality existing. I mainly used models and hand drawing to present my scheme and how it has translated from concept, straight through to realisation.

Kew Gardens Gateway project aims to engage with the Southern entrance of Kew Gardens, botanical gardens located on the River Thames. This building will act as a gateway exhibition and lecture space. The scheme involved testing of smaller external exhibition spaces, landscaped around tidal gardens which would work alongside the River Thames flood zone. This four week project allowed rigorous testing of site and accommodation, through sketching and model making.
