T echnology
D welling Space, Budapest Created from two clients through a process of creating an Eating Space, Sleeping Space and Bathing Space. A conflict arises in the heart of Budapest, between a seemingly eccentric Teppanyaki Chef and an Introverted blind man who navigates via echolocation.
Eating Space The shape of the dwelling started based upon a structural study of a pine cone. The study came about as the female cone shown above is independent, requiring no other organism to reproduce, they rely solely on the wind. Which reflects how the blind client is independent in the way he uses his echolocation. It also fits the idea of eccentricity of the Teppanyaki Chef.
Eaat Sleep
Sleeping Space Daniel Kish, one of my clients who is blind, says his dreams become more vivid when he can switch off comletely, so soundproofing the room distorts his echolocation allowing him into a deeper sleep on his journey. The other sleeping space for Tsukada (Teppanyaki Chef) is a minimalist space for him to merely rest his head and be awoken by morning sun.

as part of his routine as a chef and japanese tradition.
to enforce his false facade of an extrovert persona
and expose himself to falsify his showmanship and maintain his self image.
to escape his public persona and settle down to his own acceptable level. An escape from his showmanship lifestyle in which he has top portray himself.

with meshed floor so as to give himself a break from using his echolocation.
to escape from his eratic everyday lifestyle.
Bathing Space The space for bathing, like sleeping, was invisiged to be a journey, but from unclean through to clean and I wanted to expose this and have it be apparent and exposed using both clients natural bathing routines.

L ive / Work Space, Granada On the site previously was a run down condemmened library so I chose to rebuild the library into my live / work project and created a rare music manuscript library with accomodation for visiting students who wish to access the manuscripts as part of their study.

A goraphobia Centre, London Based in 2050 with a predicted rise in age with the growing knowledge of genetic engineering proving a life expectancy of 150 with life extending opperations and drugs, all made expensive, an uprising occurs causing a rise in the number of sufferers of agoraphobia, who are scared of the main city due to the crime relating to obtaining the life extending drugs. This agoraphobia centre takes patients through a journey in eleviating them from this tension regarding the outside world through a routine in which the living modules move around the building from a tight enclosed space to one with more freedom and views alongside their rehabilitation program.

T echnology Module From a given precedent we were to conduct an in depth, technological, analytical case study. This case study was on the Maggie’s Centre, Gartnavel, Scotland.
Location was specifically selected for its semi-wooded, natural landscape, the design of the centre takes full advantage of the natural surroundings and potential of the site. Already a green area within the hospital grounds, the landscape design further enhances the current landscape, benefiting not just those visiting the Maggie’s Centre but all who come to the hospital grounds through additional planting and greening of the site.
Summer Shading, to keep the privacy inside the house, the trees on site block most direct sunlight into the building.
Wind rays over site, the foliage stops the majority of wind from making the building feel uncomfortable.
Winter shading, the trees drop their leaves allowing what little light reaches the site to penetrate into the building.
