ANTONIA MYLEUS
architectural assistant (part 1) and planner
PROFILE
Hello! My name is Antonia and I am a recent architecture and planning graduate, currently looking for an architectural assistant (part 1) job. Having lived in four different countries and spent the past 6 months working in Stockholm within the field of planning, I am now ready to take on a new and exciting experience within architecture. I am passionate about design in all its forms, urbanism and the social aspects of architecture. I believe that travelling and collaborations are key to gaining new, strong impressions and keeping creativity flowing.

ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME As a designer, my work tends to focus on architecture as a whole, how both architecture and planning work in relation to each other in a building or a landscape. I believe that looking at the whole perspective from the beginning, before designing something as small as a building is crucial. The technique of looking from macro to micro often helps me determine what and how to design a building or a landscape. I find that architecture should be connected to its user. A building should be experiential and something to feel connected with, as well as being functional and designed for its user. I am very interested in the social parts about architecture, how to best design for what people actually want and need. Nature is another thing which often inspires my work. The micro scale, the structure and the organic forms of the site or the materiality often dictates what is designed. I am always looking to bring the interior to the exterior as much as I can, by creating permeable or integratable features or by the use of natural materials such as wood. I am also interested in the way people move through a building or a landscape, and how manipulating small features can change which direction people look or where they walk.

ARCHITECTURE
Note This project was selceted as one of 10 top graduate projects to get exhibited in London (Candid arts trust) Description Bees pollinate 80% of our crops and are dying at a vast rate due to intensive farming techniques and loss of foraging areas. This scheme and building seek to raise awareness of the decline of bees, and bee related industry within Britain, and to show practical methods on how to mitigate effects of the disappearance of bees and of using artificial farming techniques, through the integration of a diverse range of programmes, which relate to bees, beekeeping, and natural honey production. The scheme further aims to make Sharpness a centre for bee foraging with bee gardens.
There are three parts to the bee centre; educational, production and social. These parts will be connected to a walkway, which runs throughout the building, serving as the main circulation area. The walkway provides different levels of permeability in terms of vision, temperature, sound, smell, touch and light due to its materiality and shape. It is an interactive space not only used for walking through the building, but also for demonstrations on the art of beekeeping and for experiencing nature and enjoying viewpoints towards the river. The walkway’s permeable and semi-permeable materiality will enhance the visitors’ experience and journey through the building, forming a relationship with the immediate and non-immediate landscape. The walkway is part of the larger masterplan route.
The building is part of a scheme that builds on the already existing beekeepers’ network and knowledge in the area and aims to develop a district ‘bee cluster’ in Sharpness. The proposed building is a mixed-use building for the provision of education and knowledge regarding apiculture, and aims to create links with the educational and tourism network already based in the region.
The landscape strategy aims to create and expand foraging areas through wildflower fields in Sharpness, this also helps to protect conservation areas and species found on site. The landscape strategy closest to the building is designed to create educational areas regarding apiculture. The landscape is designed for both visitors and bees, where the two can interact but not disturb each other.

The final stage of the masterplan is set in 2050 and aims to create a bee centre in Sharpness promoting local production and employment, building on the knowledge already existing in the area. The masterplan further aims to contribute to sustainable development in the district which can reduce the need for international import of honey and bees. The industry will shift from the current port-based industry to natural production industries. The landscape is flower based and will take over the former industries and shift throughout the seasons, creating enough foraging areas and food sources for the bees all year, whilst allowing for the protection of endangered speices found on site. Landscaping will also enhance the overall chararteristics of Sharpness. Footpaths are placed all around, protecting the conservation areas and species, yet allowing public interaction with the landscape and the bees at a distance. Sharpness will be a recreational and an educational place as well as a place to increase the bee population.

ARCHITECTURE
This sensory diagram indicates and maps out the different senses and experiences one would feel whilst walking around the site and along the route. I believe that learning is more receptive if it is physically experienced. If people experience the beauty around apiculture on their own, they will be more receptive towards learning about it. Whilst walking, people will be able to smell the flowers, experience the landscape as well as being connected to the bees. As visitors progress along the route the buzzing of the bees will become more and more apparent as well as the scent of honey filling the whole site. This is what the walkway aims to do; to attract people through a landscape, where the main use is not to get to a specific building, but the journey towards it and what you experience along it.

ARCHITECTURE
The landscape strategy features an internal and external landscape designed for both people and bees. Foraging areas have been placed around the site, with the main nectar and pollen flowers planted in the middle internal landscape so that bees do not disturb the visitors. The external landscape is flatter, allowing for clear viewpoints towards the canal. Tall objects will make the bees flying path go upwards. This is another reason for placing the tallest flowers in the internal landscape. The fence-like, yet open facade of the walkway will make the bees fly upwards whilst the visitors can walk around freely without getting stung or interrupting the bees. The landscape is also aimed as a place for the beekeepers to educate visitors about the art of apiculture.

BUILDING DETAILS WINDOW - WALL - ROOF
The main structure of this building is glulam beams and columns, connected with a connection plate. The columns and beams are at a distance of 5 m from each other, and the inbetween walls consit of thin joists with horizontal noggins. The glulam beams are exposed 100 mm, meaning that there is still the dramatic effect of the glulam beam and columns inside the building, remeniscing people of the inside of a beehive, but taking up less space. The structure of the extruded window is a steel frame which connects back to the main frame with strucutral glazing. The top is covered with a steel sheet at a slight angle, allowing for water to drain away from the building. Two concrete ‘feet’ under each window rest on two conrete supports in the gound, helping to take off some of the load.
26
ARCHITECTURE
The walkway framework is bolted to the wall plate with angled steel beams which run in-between the glulam columns and beams, allowing the walkway to be connected back to the structure. A small piece of vertical cladding is installed on top of each beam in order for water not to enter. A flashing that run from the top of the highest batten, behind the angled steel plate and over the vertical cladding underneath the steel beam prevents water from entering. The polycarbonate on the walkway is attached in-between two steel joints, lapping around the polycarbonate on either side, holding it in place. The steel beams running along the walkway on either side of the polycarbonate will give impression of roof covering. Three bolts are installed in the middle of the beam to prevent the sheet from vibrating from the wind.

This image shows the inside of the exhibition hall. The tall and frequent windows, creates a relationship with the bees and the landscape wherever throughout the building, whilst allowing sunlight penetration. The exhibition hall aims to show people the importance of increasing the bee population and the glulam beams not only act as a structural support, but also mimic the build-up of a modern day beehive.

PERMEABILITY_ RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BUILDING AND THE BEES
This image shows the relationship between the internal and the external, the public and the private, the experiential and the tactile. The outside walkway mimics the structural internal frame, allowing for an external and an internal space with two different purposes. The large windows in between the building and the walkway creates a permeable facade allowing for interaction between the two sides.

Combining Landscapes_ Professors Michele Moreno, Natalie Roseau, Marco Lazzari, Giacomo Moretto Group Antonia Myleus, Maisie Jenkins, Maria Petri, Hanna Czerniakowska Site El Rocio, Donana Region, Spain Year 3 Note This project was awarded with the highest grade in the class. Description El Rocio lies South of Seville and borders the national park of Doùana and changes from a slow and quiet town during the winter to a bustling tourist destination in summer. Thousands of pilgrims descend on El Rocio annually, and the national park contains hundreds of endangered species and the town relies upon these assets to generate income for the town and the surrounding area. In it’s current state, El Rocio is disjointed; the rigid waterfront fractures the metabolic connection between the natural and urban landscapes. A vertical drop creates a physical and visual boundary, allowing visitors to view the marshland but not to experience it. There is a need to break down the rift between nature and the town and provide a dynamic and engaging extension of the public realm. With this project, we have MERGED the two environments, fusing the organic marshland and the synthetic urban landscape, breaking down the edge of El Rocio to bring the public into the natural habitat. The natural park will be enriched and developed through the creation of a new National Park centre. Pavillions and viewpoints will highlight new hubs of public activity. Our design is informed by the rigid human logic of the town grid, FOLDING in line with key axis, but the forms are inspired by nature. The irregular angles and shifting of the OBLIQUE surfaces imitate rock formations found at the shoreline, intended to erode and evolve as cliffs. The CONTINUITY of the design provides a subtle architectural language that could be translated for future development of housing and amenities as El Rocio expands.

CONCEPT_ RESCALING - RETRANSLATING - RECREATING
MORFEMA
The regional, urban and city scale were looked at and analysed in order to gain a wider understanding of El Rocio. It quickly became apparent that the nearby national park and pilgrim routes were the two most important things to consider on the site. Having looked at the city scale revealed that there is a vertical drop between the urban landscape and the marshland as well as the lack of public spaces and viewpoints. Looking at the geography and the geology of the area, the main concept was to RESCALE the site, RECREATING a new landscape where the vertical drop has diffused. We wanted to RESTRANSLATE the urban morphology and extend the public spaces through layers and levels, which also could be used for interaction and recreation.
COMBINING LANDSCAPES
33
REWRITING THE LANDSCAPE_ FINDING A NEW LANGUAGE
We further explored the ideas of RETRANSLATING the landscape, creating a new urban morphology through merging the man-made urban landscape with the natural marshland. Exploring the micro scale found on site, transforming it into a macro scale quickly became an interesting starting point for this project. Mimicing natural forms already existant in the area helped define our language for the platforms, use and materiality. The platforms we felt should be a part of the identity of El Rocio. We did not want to create something that will distract EL Rocio from its already role in the area, but rather enhance it and intensify it. We wanted to create platforms which would extend the public space, as well as become a part of El Rocio over time, choosinig materiality that will erode over time much like cliffs and rocks as well as blending in in the existent sandy colour shceme. The diagram to the right shows our whole concept for this project; the rigid lines represent the urban landscape, and the organic lines represent the marshland. By RECREATING a new urban language in El Rocio it can quickly help blend and merge hese two landscapes together, thus forming a unity.

EXTENDING THE PUBLIC SPACE_ DIFFUSING THE VERTICAL DROP
In order to connect El Rocio to the nearby national park, a new road has been placed to create a natural organic route from El Rocio to the park. A new extended public space and a pavillion have been added to the scheme to create new hubs of connectivity, accommodating the thousands of annual pilgrims, as well as creating a new public place for the inhabitants all year round. The platforms play with reflecting and transparent materials to mimic the sand roads existent in el rocio and the marshland.

A Modern day Eco-Museum_ Professors Fabrizio Leoni, Corinna Morandi, Andrea Rolando Group Antonia Myleus, Yannis Hajigeorgis, Shay Benish Site Cascina Riazzolo, Lombardy, Italy Programme New Waterfront and Eco-Museum Course Urban Edgelands and Agriculture Year 3 Notes This project was awarded with the second highest grade in the class. Description The main themes for this studio were edge lands and urban agriculture in Italy. For this specific project, the task was to masterplan a small area outside of Milan. The masterplan had to include; smallscale architecture, parking and landscape design. It was a group project, and there was a large emphasis on the process of the project rather than the final outcome. For this project we had to work with hand-drawing techniques, computer aided programs and rendered images were not recommended. The professors wanted us to connect with the site and understand what we were designing by drawing it by hand. We had a one week workshop to finalise everything. Out of 6 possible sites, my group chose Cascina Razzolo, a small farm town outside of Milan. We knew straight away that we wanted to increase the access through the site, connect the whole area with the waterfront as well as creating something that was relevant to both agriculture and the Milan expo that was on at the time. We decided to do an eco-museum as our small scale architecture project. It is an outdoor educational museum for people to learn about agriculture. The landscape was designed to subconsciously lead people down to the water. We also created small pods to create public and private spaces, as well as making them as protection features from the road. We wanted to incorporate the parking area into the landscape to make it less obvious. Bicycle routes with pods extending out over the river were also added to get closer to the water.

LANDSCAPE AND PARKING_ EXPERIENCING THE LANDSCAPE - A NEW WATERFRONT
Our landscape strategy features a series of rises and dug outs in the ground. The landscape acts as a separating feature between the cars and the visitors. The landscape is designed to attract people to the waterfront, create new viewpoints as well as public areas. A new cycling path is also designed, where small pods sit on the vertical drop, creating hubs of public spaces between people and the water. The parking is integraded and hidden in the landscape and placed in the beginning of the site, so that only the people living in the area can drive through Cascina Riazzolo

New Community Housing Development_ Professors David Littlefield Site Long Down Avenue, Filton, Bristol, UK Programme GP Surgery and Housing Development Course Design Studio B Year 2 Description This was the first housing and masterplanning project of the course. The project consisted of 2 tasks. The first task was given as a housing task and we had to design a GP surgery with 6 connecting family homes on a small site. Looking at the wider area, there were a lot of repetition in the housing style, I thus opted for more variations, working with both wood and angles of the roofs. The second task was to design a masterplan with the houses and GP surgery we had previously designed. We had a to create a new housing neighbourhood with our GP surgery and family homes as an inspiration. In my masterplan I wanted to focus on public and private outdoor spaces, where each house has its own garden, with a big common garden in the middle. This allows for spontaneous socialisation as well as creating a community like feeling. A pharmacy and a cafĂŠ have also been added to the new neighbourhood.

House Old Docks_ Professors David Littlefield Site Cumberland Basin, Bristol, UK Programme Housing Development Course Design Studio B Year 2 This small housing project was the first proper housing project where we had guidelines and a pre-decided site. The brief was to design a 2-bedroom house in Cumberland Basin close to Bristol City centre. The site lies on a small island, where the neighbouring houses are from the turn of the century and run down. The main design features of this house includes corner windows to let light in but to take advantage of the views in these directions. I wanted to make the ground floor an open floor plan with a small hallway included. As it is a small site, dividing the ground floor into rooms would lose a lot of sunlight and common areas. I decided to make the house quite modern looking with a wooden frame construction, contrasting with the neighbouring houses. It is concrete cladding with wooden windowframes, thus still following the main colour schemes of the surrounding area. Updating the site with a more contemporary look could also hopefully attract new houses in the area.

Structural Modelling_ Professors David Littlefield Group Antonia Myleus, William Millest, Ben Martin, Miika Matikainen Course Design Studio B Year 2 This was a group project, aimed to explore different structural approaches through model making. My group was assigned to model a Gridshell structure, where tension, flexibility and durability were the key aims. The project was awarded with distinction. Mock models out of wooden sticks and pins were made, partly to see how we could form the connections and partly to see which materials would bend without breaking to form a Gridshell structure. Precedents such as ‘Lookout Tower by Avanto Architects’ and SG2012 Gridshell were looked at in order to gain a deeper understanding of the structure. After various tests, the final sculpture consists of wetted balsawood, giving extra flexibility without breaking once its dry, and pins attached to each joint to allow for extra movement. The two sculptures are held together in tension by a single fishing line spanning from top to bottom of the bigger sculpture. The smaller sculpture rests upon the fishing line, appearing as if it is floating.

Planning Management Development_ Project Design & Access Statement (Planning permission) Application Masterplan + Beekeepers Institute Professor Mike Devereux Year 4 As the first part of our graduate project, we had to do a masterplan of Sharpness and its surroundings as well as a supporting statement in accordance with various planning documents and policies. This stage also consisted of applying for a ‘full planning permission’ for the masterplan of Sharpness, including my ‘Beekeepers Institute’ where a ‘Design & Access’ statement was also submitted. The masterplan works in three stages, showing the shift from the current port-based industries to the natural-production industries in 2050 that I am suggesting. The masterplan also includes bee and foraging gardens where nature will have taken over most of Sharpness and protects endangered species and conservation areas found on site. My masterplan aims to build on the already existent beekeepers network found in the area, and creating a bee centre in Sharpness where the bee polulation can increase in peace. We also submitted the first draft of our building to be developed in the second part of the graduate project. My idea was to create a building for educational and production purposes regarding apiculture, along with an educational unit and an interactive landscape.

Nacka 2030_ Company Ă…F Type Work Placement Year 2015-2016 (6.5 months)
I spent in total 6.5 months at Ă…F working first as an intern and then as an Urban Planning Consultant. The largest project I took part in was the new city centre in Nacka 2030 where I was responsible for all illustrations. Nacka plans to become a new city 2030, where a new extended metro line will be built along with 13.500 new homes in accordance with the Stockholm agreement. I spent the first month at Ă…F as an obligatory part of the planning side of my diploma where I did a planning project regarding the placement of the new metro entrances at Nacka Forum, and their relation with the new city centre, and the new bus station. I also looked at how people move in and around the interchange point, and where the entrances could best be placed to make the most efficient change between different modes of transport. When I first started there were not yet any finalised plans or fixed ideas of where the new bus station, metro station and the entrances were going to be placed or how they would be connected with each other. I had to create a first draft and develop these connections. The section below shows how the connections could work with each other as well as where a common ticket hall could be placed. This section became a starting point for my colleagues. I also completed various illustrations, including traffic analysis and traffic flow illustrations, showing the impact on traffic flows in Stockholm with the new metro line to Nacka. Smaller illustrations such as maps of interchanges, new roads and new cycle paths were also completed. I was also responsible for making various site analyses. Firstly, an analysis showing the different components and how they affect the planned housing in 2030. The other analysis was to target points of interest in the future city centre of Nacka in order to determine where most likely there will be public activity.

Så Mycket Bättre_ Company ÅF Group Antonia Myleus, Claes Tingvall, Amer Aslam, Goran Dedovic Type Sustainable transport systems according to UN Global Goals Year 2015-2016 One of the most prioritised issues within ÅF is sustainability, and how sustainability can be incorportated within projects and outcomes. When the new and updated UN-Global Goals were announced in September 2015, myself and two other colleagues along with Claes Tingvall (Zero Vision Initiative) were responsible for creating a booklet showing how to integrate these Global Goals in to sustainable transport systems as well as mapping out which goals are relevant to cities and infrastructure. The aim of this booklet was to create an external document for ÅF, marketing them as one of the first companies to incorporate the Global Goals into their working practise at the annual VTI conference (Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute). The second aim was to create a booklet that could also be used as an internal document for ÅF, and work as a guide on how to incorporate these goals into working practise. The booklet is structured around six everyday users of the transport system; the child, the family, the hipster, the senior, the company and the municipality. In accordance with the global goals, the booklet explains through small stories how the transport system of today should change to fulfil the needs of these six users.

Selection of works_ Type Amateure Location Sweden, Spain, UK, Norway, Italy Photography is something which I enjoy doing as an amateur, especially whilst travelling. I tend to photograph nature wherever I go as it is one of my biggest sources of inspircation. I mostly shoot objects close up as I like to capture specific things like the way the light hits an object or how the structure works. These photographs are some selected photos that I have taken. They have been chosen due to the subject, lighting or the geometry.
