The Core of Creativity and Life

This project focuses on creating a fashion based space, in the city centre of Liverpool, Wolstenholme Square.

The space will host events such as live music, fashion shows and overall social gatherings; giving new life to Wolstenholme square in Liverpool.

The project’s main focus is providing fashion students with the opportunity and space to exhibit their work professionally. To display competition and project winners and outstanding work, a pavilion will be introduced on the site for that specific purpose.

The Fashion Playhouse

Located on the edge of Liverpool’s Salthouse Dock ‘The Fashion Playhouse’ aims to prevent the negative impacts of fashion on children through a fun experience where they will create imaginative clothing through dyeing, cutting and sewing.

The building houses spaces for these activities along with a large scale fancy dress box, a theatre and catwalk space, and a ramp filled atrium that acts as a gallery where long colourful fabrics hang. The building is constructed from concrete and is purposely designed to be a monotonal shell, with the aim that the children and fabrics bring the building to life.

Flux-Auditorium

Every summer Liverpool sees hundreds of thousands of visitors come from across the UK and around the world to experience and take part in an array of cultural events. The Flux-Auditorium will be a music and performance space at the heart of the city hosting indoor concerts and performances and offering spaces for musicians to practice all year round.

In the summer the building will act as a piece of infrastructure hosting larger outdoor events, at this point the building becomes the backdrop, the stage on which the performance takes place and a part of the spectacle.

The Void

As creativity and alternative culture grows in Liverpool, we need to recognize and create a community through architecture for this to flourish.

Located in the Baltic Triangle, my project unites the independent venues across this district of the city for a yearly festival of creativity and arts as well as explores unused spaces within the site for temporary inhabitable installations. This festival will stem from my building, The Void. This is a centre where musicians can practice, perform and celebrate music within a range of different environments, from private practice rooms, to a main stage located on the front facade.

The Flux

Contemporary art gallery: Focused on rejuvenating the Baltic Triangle in Liverpool with its creative spirit by developing a contemporary art gallery with an iconic modern design reflecting what is displayed within.

The design draws inspiration from contemporary artwork and local links between the existing creative centres in Liverpool such as the Tate Liverpool.

The Blues Quarter

A masterplan proposal for the Blues Quarter offers a connection from the Baltic triangle to the city centre and the docks in Liverpool. its a journey passing through retail, entertainment accommodation and educational spaces all linking and finalizing at the Blues building. This journey creates spaces to inspire peoples creativity and ultimately allow their expression through music. The project uses the architecture to emphasize the music and the culture; past, present and future. Music is and escape.

San Per Aquam

The main focus of my scheme is the exploration of water and how we can inhabit it. I am looking at how I can utilise water within architecture and how I can develop water within the city after the near extinction to outdoor swimming pools and lidos. My proposal is based around a sequence of baths, ranging from thermal baths to salt water baths, creating a new environment within the city for people to submerge themselves in. The project is be formed around a series of model making and sketches before development in CAD.

The Genesis of the Third Culture

To coalesce the thoughts of the literary individual and the natural philosopher to aspire to a metaphorical tabula rasa, reflecting the innovative biological technologies as a panacea for the ills of humanity. Through an elevated gesture of reclaiming land, the boldness of the next step in our evolution can be clarified by the solidification of a raised architecture. The proposal is to establish an architectural landscape in the cultural district of Liverpool to allow for the debating, creative exploration and scientific development of DNA manipulation technologies, in order to publicly disseminate the complexities and possibilities in our biological future.

Inducing the Cure

In the most concentrated context for Magnetotactic Bacteria on Earth, harvesting, researching and testing exist amongst a public domain. The edge on which the city of Horta sits will be redefined, an inhabitation that may hold an impending cure for cancer.

A lineal metaphorical pattern can be translated into the very fabric of space, becoming a magnetic actuality that dictates and adduces geometries that layer and protect from the sea.

A Posse Ad Esse

The life we enjoy is quotidian, however a deviation from the normal condition into illness can dislocate the energy given by life. The reality of disability and pain, euthanasia becomes the only option for some. Can the last moments become a journey filled with delight, where the ordinary becomes celebrated? This new architecture seeks to explore nature, companionship and humanity with a shifting attitude towards death and the invaluable potential of organ regeneration following euthanasia.

The Sequential Extinction

An exploration derived from the threat of extinction of cold-water coral on the West Coast of Scotland and their potential for biotechnology research in future medical cures. Particularly focused on coral growth modulation and patternation, as water nutrient flows through organic void condition, an architecture coalescing of solid and voids exist in exposed environmental conditions.

The proposal is an architectural system devised to physically restore damaged facades destroyed as a consequence of war. The re-embodiment of life through restitution of missing elements of architecture. The jigsaw puzzle has the capacity to restore new life to existing salvaged structures in conditions of post-war.

Orbis Aedes

Transparency must be achieved through global tracking and monitoring of of illegal e-waste distribution. Paths trail across the globe, steering the eye along routes, arriving at obscure nodes of which nothing is known, and is not wanted to be known. Patterns emerge from sea, crawling onto land, a new architecture of rocks, an impenetrable shield from the elements. The project is a global tracking and monitoring station to influence world policy via data collection, investigative journalism and campaigning for an end to illegal e-waste dumping.

The Plastic Age: State of Inceptum

The problem is commonly misidentified. We are not lacking in resources, but we are not realising the full potential of the resources we consider to be waste. This project intends to reverse this way of thinking, and help to eliminate the concept of waste, by providing a space that is equipped to facilitate this action.

The architecture will be a space for the design and development of new textiles that re-use polymers collected from the gyres of the oceans.

Tempus Framian

A contemporary interpretation of a ‘conventional’ theatre, suspended upon a framed ‘fly tower’. With a need for a reformed and reunited band of greater Manchester culture, the Tempus Framian scheme will provide the vital fundamentals as a community framework. In the hope to improve the physical and mental wellbeing, through access and opportunity into culture. The theatre ‘park’ design upon a cluster of connective axis and accommodating varies stage like landforms along the way. Alternate journeys to the main ‘fly tower’, allow for a detour from the central axis, posing a circuit of endurance obstacles to local runners.

The Weave

This project is influenced by the history of the cotton mills which were on this site previously. The site is a fashion hub for innovative designers to bring new ideas in and develop them within the complex. The development begins in the weaving pods, you then move into the main building where the process of research and production can take place.

Impermanent Active Urban Landscapes

For this project I designed an inhabited bridge that features plugon specialized working environments for creative individuals. Inspiration for the forms of the design have been drawn from subjects such as growth and inhabitation, influenced by the overgrown nature of the site. The bridge allows the space and infrastructure for the addition of more plug-on studios so that the architecture can grow and evolve over time.

The Beach: A Musical World Beneath the City

This project will regenerate Ordsall using music as a tool to reconnect the community to the city. Impermanent aspects of performance, movement and activity occupy the site offering music facilities to locals, professionals and tourists. The Beach is an exploration of the connection between the community and the city’s musical history. Moments in history have been addressed to offer permanent and impermanent points locally, and beyond.

Dancing with the Edge

This building is a catalyst for the reengagement and with a discarded edge. Salford’s Ordsall riverside (waters edge), loss of purpose or function is resulting in height levels of crime and poverty. This area is just one of many examples of neglected spaces within cities, despite our evergrowing population, and demand for more space. To counter these zones of decline, and aim to repopulate Ordsalls edge, with a master plan of Extreme sporting facilities. Sporting activities that are challenging pushing physical and mental states to the edge. This spa will complement the area aims. This Spa design will take you on an exploration, confronting edge conditions. Waters edges are enchanting; this building’s architecture captures this via manipulations of water.

People Feed the People

The project addresses the need to increase food production within urban centres through the design of an urban farming tower, integrated with a hydroponic ecosystem. The tower responds to the demands of the community by incrementally growing and decaying as needed through the design of pods which plug into the core.

Impermanent Active Landscapes

The tower is a monument to urban agriculture which would not only provide food but also educate people, as an example of what can be achieved and what needs to be done in the near future, in order for people to grow more sustainable.

The Avant-Garde Pier

This revitalized pier reconnects the sea to the city. Rather that a singular and heavily programmed destination at the pier is flexible: experiences for both tourists and the local community; from children to seniors, nature lovers to boaters, fishermen to fine diners. It is a hub for activity, not only the head, but all along its 985 metres. The Pier does not take you to a place - The Pier is the place. It is THE AVANT-GARDE PIER.

Connect • Create • Care

This project aims to address three issues: To connect Merseyside like it never has been before, so that one can walk from one side of the river to the other; something has never before been possible. To connect people, by providing a space where they can experience new and unique situations.

To create a space that caters for the increasing creative industry in Liverpool; a place where people can live, visit, create and work. To care; to provide a solution to social housing issues; by building up urban areas, which allows the countryside to be left untouched to provide food for the increasing population.

Between the Heavens and the Deep Blue Sea

Once a popular seaside resort, New Brighton has fallen from grace. It has become a blank canvas just waiting for a new beginning. Utilising the reemerging ‘Pepper’s Ghost’ technology, I created spaces for imaginations to run wild in a gallery mounted on an organically formed concrete island.

A celebration of art through the potential of architecture, this could be the catalyst for making New Brighton popular once more.

New Brighton Pierscape

My project proposal is a photographic gallery, a media, a pier and tower fused together. The pier is to be a promenade and extension of the land.

I am to assume that the Dazzle Ferry from Liverpool can be land at the end of the pier.

Safe Place

“Political language … is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind” – George Orwell. Throughout history the common habit that marks the passages of humankind – regardless of race, location, and age – it is war and bloodshed. Daily, hundreds of people from Calais and Syria are fleeing their country from the chaos that plagues their homeland. Will there ever be peace - their fate, we don’t know. The most metaphysical thing we can do is to help them exile back to humanity. “Architecture is War; War is Architecture” – Lebbeus Woods
