2 The Intervention of Light in Urban Space A personal photography project exploring how light is experienced in an urban environment
Light plays an important role in how we experience space - particularly in an urban environment. It has the ability to affect mood, our perception of time, and our relationship with the spaces we use. This project attempts to document these experiences and to reflect on the importance of the intervention of light in urban space.

Chicken. Run.
Competition entry for movable park featuring a chicken heated greenhouse. Competition: Parks on Wheels 2015 Host: Ash Sakula Architect’s
CHICKEN.RUN. Chickens bring joy. And eggs. And the 'necessary' to make plants grow up big and strong and tasty. These chickens will produce good stuff, which makes stuff taste good. They show young’uns where the good stuff comes from and they remind oldies how good stuff can be.

The coolest coop in the East End Hang out in CHICKEN.RUN. Get up close and personal and a show a battery hen fugitive some love. She will show you how good it feels to taste a homegrown tomato or suck the seeds off a strawberry.
They make us happy by pecking, clucking, scratching, gardening and occasionally knitting. CHICKEN.RUN. brings all of this to the community.

Competition entry for reimagining the urban commons. Competition: Designing the Urban Commons 2015 Host: Theatrum Mundi
CARBONSYNC The underused spatial remnants of London’s industrial age are re-imagined as new spaces for urban commoning, creating a network of socially constructed and synchronised spaces across the city. Disused docks and gasometers occur throughout the city, but are currently underused and at risk of privatisation, especially through consumption-led urban regeneration. These spaces can be reclaimed and reused to provide areas of dense urban tree planting; a public space typology rarely available within cities. These urban forests will function as carbon sinks; absorbing carbon dioxide from the industrial processes of the city and converting it into oxygen to be used by it’s citizens. Thus safeguarding clean air for future generations.
Visualisation: Dock 1t CO2
0.7t O2
The social process, through which these spaces would be reclaimed and reimagined, would start with local community planting to engage and instill a sense of ownership over time. The resources produced will not be tangible, but arguably more meaningful and wider reaching in their influence and impact.
1 m3 growth
Carbon Sync proposes a range of interventions across the city, forming a wider network of opportunities for urban commoning; reclaiming and re-imagining underused former industrial sites to achieve a range of productive outcomes.
One tonne of carbon dioxide can be absorbed by 1 cubic metre of tree growth. And 0.7 tonnes of oxygen will be returned to the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis.
