Internship at aigplus architects Duesseldorf November 2019- June 2020
First meeting The office has meetings at the beginning of the month to discuss relevant issues within the office such as Software. Additionally, each team member gives a status update to see where they are at with their project With a large variety in projects and loads of ideas germinating around a table; it is often the case that these meetings are too short to discuss all matters in one sitting.

Container School Cologne aigplus
Began to help within this project setting out Colour concepts aswell as entrance layout. This school was made due to their primary building being refurbished. This will be there temporary home; therefore the task is to make it feel like their new home.
Entrance There were many areas of development during this project. The entrance required excessive thought, as it is located right next to the road. The challenge was where to place the threshold (the gates) to allow for maximum space for children to be inside and safe.

Colour Concept Initially colour concepts were used that did not have any background story to them. Instead we had the idea that each classroom was able to be identified from the outside through colour code. Each classroom would have its own colour much like the build up of a lego piece. This creates a vibrant and visually enhancing building for the children to be excitedt o go within on a daily basis. Lego Concept

Construction Screw Foundations were used for the construction of the school. I was involved in two different meetings with a variety of project workers. I was able to get a better understanding of the foundations and how proposals are brought to the table for construction purposes.

Early vision for Project
Garage Conversion aigplus Cologne This was the first Project given to me for full responsibility. I was able to bring this project through the 1-4 Plan of Work phases (Leistungsphasen). This gave me the opportunity to see how an idea goes to a constructed space.
First Idea Sketches for Floor Build Up
Idea Development and Context
Wall Build Up Once the idea of the building is there, the build up of the wall had to be measured and calculated. I was tasked with finding the U value of the roof and wall. Here I was able to apply lessons learnt from University to gather a concrete value to send to the Engineers. The build up of the wall would be translated to the roof. Where both house similar materials in order to reduce costs. Main Materials: Insulation Timber Putzschicht Gibskarton
U Value Calculations

Roof Structure Understanding the structure of the building is one of the first steps to take as it is the skeleton of the building. The initial idea was to have a slanted roof in order to bring light in from above. This was however changed due to the floor being extended higher up.
Flat Roof Slanted Roof Connection of Wall and Roof
will be timber. With beams connected from the house over to posts sitting next to the neighbour garage. The floor will be lifted in order to reach the level of the ground floor in the house (OKFF EG).
Option 1 - Slanted Roof - Not Chosen
Option 2 - Flat Roof - Chosen

Institut fuer Kunststoffverarbeitung aigplus Aachen Helped in writing out plans for a large scale refurbishment project. This consisted of converting a hall into a Univeristy in Aachen. A much larger scale project to the previous two.
Supporting Construction I was able to support during the construction plans (Rohbau) where we worked from foundations to the roof. We were communicating with the engineer throughout the process for variations in foundations and loads on floors.

Drew the Insulation around the building
Sent plans to engineers for loads on certain floors, which have to have a certain foundation pile underenarth
Roof Conversion aigplus Duisberg
Helped with a roof refurbishment where the interior had to be redesigned which included necessary new windows and fire escapes.
