AQUA THEATRE: redefining the nature and place of a performance to increase public interest in Cardiff Bay Cardiff Bay, Wales, UK M.Arch 2 Thesis Project • Fall 2015 - Spring 2016 Design thesis explores possibilities of water becoming an integral part of theatre performance and investigates how it can become an entertainment itself. With its constantly changing state and natural abilities to be still, naturally flow, cascade down, or reflect and sparkle under the light, water can enhance people’s sensory experience on a journey throughout the building.The proposed building is designed to capture dynamic qualities of flowing water in a series of organic volumes, each containing a large body of water purposed for various themed uses. Cardiff is known to be one of the leading cities in South Wales bringing biggest revenue in tourism. Cardiff Tourism and Action Plan 2015-2020 is focused on development of cultural landmarks and recreational amenities along Cardiff Bay promenade to increase annual tourism revenue. As a result, a proposed building is intended to function commercially becoming an integral part of Cardiff Tourism and Action Plan aimed at boosting tourist economy.

Water is an integral part of Cardiff; and with the establishment of Cardiff Bay freshwater, the Bay waterfront has become a focal welcoming point to visitors and guests with main cultural/recreational amenities concentrated along the promenade. However, the current conditions of freshwater do not allow for safe swimming and appreciation of clean water. With the nature of performance and a chosen location of a proposed building erecting from water, this design thesis also investigates the possibilities of purification of Cardiff Bay freshwater and utilizing it within a proposal.

THE STUDENT RETREAT CENTRE Cardiff, Wales, UK M.Arch 1 Design Project • Fall 2014 - Spring 2015 This design undertook a ‘real-life’ scenario with a client and a brief, which was to create a Multi-Faith Centre for Cardiff University students to provide facilities for praying, meditating, counseling and gathering. The key emphasis in the project is to draw people with different backgrounds and culture into one place and provide facilities that are adaptive and flexible for all needs.
30
INTERIOR RENDER OF `THE DRUM’, revit architecture + photoshop
Since the client has clearly indicated the need of a large gathering hall, surrounded by other smaller uses, it was straight-foward to determine the overall design of the building. The large gathering hall, called the ‘Drum’ is designed to become the hearth of the building; is centrally located and can be easily accessed from any entrance. The ‘Drum’ was created to accommodate individual or communal praying, meditating, public gatherings, seminars, lectures, concerts and other performances. Strict geometrical shape of The ‘Drum’, cylinder, has been determined by a thorough research on faiths; how people of various religions pray, what kind of space they need to accommodate their needs. All other facilities are organized in the manner, where no matter where a person stand in the building, they can see ‘The Drum’.

RECYCLING NUCLEAR POWER PLANT Cemaes Bay, Anglesey, Wales, UK BSc Year 3 project • Fall 2012 - Spring 2013
44
INTERIOR RENDER OF `NUCLEAR MUSEUM’, sketchup + photoshop
The key focus of the project is the existing Nuclear Power Plant in Cemaes Bay, Anglesey. The Power plant is currently undertaking the process of decommissioning. My main proposal is to how can such a vast building be reused, adapted and still bring the same amount of energy to the place. My main proposal argues, that the island does not require nuclear power in order to boost economy and supply energy to residents. The use of an alternative renewable energy, such as biomass can work efficiently and as good as not the renewable one. Based on completed research, it can be said, that currently, the Isle of Anglesey needs 2 biomass plants in order to supply the amount of homes situated on the island. Moreover, Anglesey has suitable conditions and enough space to involve local growth of trees, which are needed as raw material in biomass plant. Finally, the problem with landfills and household waste can be resolved by introducing a Combustion Plant, which would operate purely on waste. This system as a whole would create a zero waste cycle, consequently, a better environment. In conclusion, the project can be called prototype, because it can be adapted across the UK and potentially improve the environment.

MASTERPLANNING The concept is urbanisation of isolated areas in Isle of Anglesey, Wales, UK. It is key to communicate the ideas based on the research and make a close connection with them both. My masterplan proposal involves an extension of Cemaes village and conversion of Nuclear power plant into biomass plant, and show that it is an efficient sustainable power source and could work within Anglesey. Finally, the conversion of village into town involves a new development of residential units; introduction of certain facilities, such as hospital, school, shopping centre, etc. It is proposed to make a closer connection with the beach by opening up the main street and introducing new facilities and retail units.

(BARRY)2 Barry, Wales, UK BSc Year 2 project • Spring 2012 The main aim of the project was to create a public building, a multi-functional theatre, which would gather people of different ages and social statues and backgrounds. Barry2 Theatre is aimed at involving live performances by professionals, live performances by community, and work as a cinema since the town`s old cinema has been shut down for a while. Undergoing several site visits and analysis of town`s urban planning, it has also shown that Barry lacks in efficient public spaces, the current square is obsolete and there is no outdoor space in town`s centre for leisure/social gatherings. Consequently, the scheme went beyond initial brief and provided a public gatheirng space with elements of landscape.
68
The main driving force in designing a building was its’ distinction from surroundings, but also response of what lies around. An ‘object’ would stand out from the rest of the buildings, and would become the main orienteer of Barry town. The idea of design and shape of the building lies in its simple and crisp shape, which is able to respond to surroundings in its own way. Its facade would be able to ‘transform’ and in a way adapt, in order to be able to make a connection with the outside environment. BARRY2, Physical model - wood, cardboard, metal

THE TEAHOUSE Cardiff, Wales, UK Vertical Studio project • Spring 2011
82
The teahouse measures two by two metres, the size of two tatami mats, and was constructed with simple techniques and locally sourced materials. The Group of 10 students perticipating in this project, coppiced hazel wands from the local woodland and wove them into panels before coating in a mixture of soil from the building site opposite and Welsh clay. The design is based on the sixteenth century Japanese teahouse Tai-an in Myoukian temple, Kyoto. This teahouse is thought to be designed by the Japanese tea master Sen No Rikyu. It is a minimal space, only the size of two tatami mats (approx. 2m x 2m), yet forming a highly articulated and intricate space with a subtle play of light and darkness, richly textured earth wall and bamboo woven ceiling. We wanted to create something new from this Japanese masterpiece, transforming its physical presence by employing different construction methods from the original; traditional timber frame with wattle and daub and contemporary DIY techniques.
