LILLE, FRANCE

REGENERATION ARCHITECTURE UNIVERSITY PROJECT

Every city changes your lifestyle as soon as you move in. What if we start by defining the lifestyle we want, then design the city in order to create that? This building is a public living room, stocked with ways to pursue your own interests and make friends with people who you share interests with. It is about giving the local people the things they really want, more than just another shiny building.

MARGATE, KENT

MODULAR HOUSING UNIVERSITY PROJECT

These contemporary terraced houses are laid out to form a possitive pedestrian environment for people passing through. They are laid out as a landscape and have a wind turbine/ chapel which drives water through cleaning pools as an elegant focal point for views.







VENICE, ITALY

PUBLIC ART PAVILLION PERSONAL PROJECT

The flâneur wanders every destination with the same detachment, feels the same everywhere they go and therefore feels that everywhere they go is the same. This creates apathy, the subconscious perception that no matter what changes we could make to our lives or the world, one would always end up feeling the same. Some places still shake our assumptions of what is inevitable but globalization is making it easier and easier to act and feel identically in more and more cities. The perception of fundamental sameness is reinforced by architecture which looks dramatically different, which still house identical uses and experiences, malls, galleries, gift shops and things to boredly take your photo in front of. This pavilion causes people to interact, first casually, as they play with the lighting effects, then more directly as climbing the inside requires help from others. One experiences a feeling different to the typical museum, restaurant, routine and together with a million other methods of creating different feelings in different places we can combat the ennui that travelling in the 21st century tends to engender. It’s goal is to help make us aware of the incredible diversity of lives we could choose to lead or worlds we could choose to create.

Everyone prefers interactive to passive things; down with inert architecture!
