Househam Henderson Architects Winchester, UK [July 2006] The experience gained in this office was mainly through assisting with CAD drawings and model making. This was only a short term spell of experience, but it allowed me to see how an office works throughout different stages of projects. Being 16 years old at the time, it played a big part in making me determined to work towards a career in the profession.

// PERSONAL STATEMENT
I have been fascinated by design since I was a very young age, and have been constantly drawing and working out how things are put together. For me, the pinnacle of design is architecture. It is a discipline that contains an incredible process, with an amount of responsibility that keeps you hooked. The diversity within projects, from traditional to contemporary, covers a huge range of topics from aesthetics and political ideals through to psychology and urban re-planning. I take a deep interest in every aspect of architecture, whether a building is involved or not, as it has such a deep imprint on our everyday lives. I firmly believe that we never stop learning throughout our lifetime, and I see this first year within the industry as an exciting opportunity to see the story of real-world architecture first hand. Keeping the balance between deadlines and maintaining a high level of work is something that keeps me highly motivated. I enjoy working both as part of a team and alone, and believe that my past involvement in sports and extracurricular activities has helped to develop me into an effective team player.

This projects response aimed to move away from the typical community centre ideals, and instead revolved around a scheme that had the reintegration of St Anns into Nottingham at its core. Cycling is a proud part of Nottingham’s history, with the city being the birthplace of Raleigh Cycles, and it is also a sport that is growing in popularity largely due to the success of the British cycling team at the 2008 Olympics and rising fuel prices.

ROBBERY
St Anns is a district of Nottingham that has been socially excluded from the rest of the city for a number of years. Development’s are taking place in the area, but they are repetitive and generic in nature, and are therefore failing to respond to the needs of the local community.
The proposed scheme is centred around creating new and exciting routes for people to travel along, whether it be through walking or cycling. The introduction of a bridge means this flow of movement is more continuous and links in with the Robin Hood Chase; which is the most commonly travelled route in St Anns. The buildings themselves offer bicycles that can be rented and used for travelling into the city, as well as workshop spaces where local people can drop in and learn how to repair common issues such as punctures. Open classrooms are used to train people in bicycle mechanics, giving them the opportunity to learn new skills and improve their job prospects. Race training also takes place here and makes use of the on site public track, providing the community with the activities they crave.

FORM INSPIRATION FROM SITE CHARACTERISTICS

1
The topography of the site and the surrounding area along with the emerging characteristics of a bicycle’s mechanics were key inspirations for the form of the design and the site plan. The design is intended to integrate into the neighborhood, rather than intrude, hence the small scale and use of more natural materials. Keeping one of the few green spaces left in St Anns open and virtually unintruded is fundamental to providing the community with a space that breaks away from the more claustrophobic urban environment that surrounds them.

All design development has paid close attention to the movement of the Robin Hood Chase in St Anns. This is a path that plays a key part in not only linking separate valleys together, but also providing green, open spaces for social activity. Therefore the integration of this path into the project is vital.

The path runs around the development, but has also been updated to give the public the choice of walking through the development as well. The building have a light and spacious feel, creating a socially friendly, vibrant atmosphere. N.T.S

Widespan structures are today widely applied for sport, cultural, industrial, ecological and other activities. This project aims to create a model that represents a more abstract study of the structural form. The group decided that a form which combined structure and aesthetics, along with creating numerous circulation opportunities, would be the most successful and expressive. The strongest of our design ideas tended to consist of repeated forms, which would be very interesting to develop further into a final design. As a personal group brief, we decided that we wanted to create a structure that was transportable and could be altered to suit many contexts. The structure then had to cater for a type of congregation space, where public events such as music gigs, comedy shows or small theatre productions could be hosted whilst remaining open to those outside the enclosed space. This was deemed to be the positive effect of a repeated structure; making the space transparent to the inside and out.

ERGYS PEKA DAN MASTERMAN TOM HURRELL MUNZIR ARIFF
This pavilion is a multi use structure that was designed primarily to create a venue for aspiring musicians and buskers. The transparency of the structure creates a very open and public atmosphere, drawing people in to create mini-events. Cladding options range from a bare honeycomb-like mesh for warmer climates , to synthetic coverings that provide a stronger sense of shelter in colder environments
whilst still maintaining the aura of transparency with the materials semi opaque properties. One of the main concepts of the design is that the structure is self supporting. The aesthetic appeal of the arms combine as strong points in the structure, with areas widening where the loads increase. Long foundations underground also create a cantilevering effect, rendering most of the primary structure invisible to the user. Climatic issues have also been considered, with the angle of each ‘arm’ calculated to direct natural sunlight onto both the stage and main seating areas.

// CONTEXTUAL DESIGN University Studio Project [2nd Year] [March-May 2011] The final second year project involved intergrating a children’s sudio theatre into the Lincoln community. The whole aim of this project was to focus stronly on intergration within a set context, and therefore mesh became an important material in the design. I found that the layering of mesh
allowed differing layers of transparency and access for different parts of the building, helping to differentiate between public and private space. I chose to use red as a bright and ambient colour scheme in order to provide a warm and welcoming feel, along with having a higher chance of catching children’s attention.

FINAL COMPETITION BOARDS [3XA2]
// SUSTAINABLE FARMLAND University Student Competition [2nd Year] 1st Place [February 2011] This competition involved a local farm as a client who was looking that was looking to modify its existing buildings for more commercial purposes. The farm also wished for a newly built shop/cafe with sustainability being the key feature in its design. I went about this by focusing on three main principals; orientation, insulation and ventilation. A roof garden/bank not only acts as insulation and shelter from the east prevailing winds, but it is aslo an interesting element for interaction www.danielmasterman.co.uk
with the public. A type of vent system was then needed to channel the air flow through the bank and into the buildin, but rather than using conventional air vents, I decided to use the farmer’s keen interest in art and sculpture as an inspiration. Using the form of a sculpture on site, I then came up with the sculpture (right) to act as as a cowl vent. The shape aims to catch the attention of people using the building, therefore spreading the message of sustainability and making it more understandable to a wider audience.
