NEW EVEREST NEPAL DS1 OXFORD BROOKES 2017 A visual critique of Neoliberalism and Verticality in the modern city. The story of the drawing is the lower classes on a journey towards New Everest. Through closer inspection one can see that the new world does not touch the mountain. From afar the new world looks accessible, but it is not. The modernist and postmodernist ideologies that facilitated the creation of New Everest are visualised at the back of the boat. The imagery is appraising the american dream ethos. 2 week exercise.

LOWER ROAD SALISBURY FOOTPRINT ARCHITECTS 2016 FPA was appointed by a private residential client to design a complete renovation of an existing house. The concept for the proposal is based on views down the driveway and rear garden towards the river. It is divided into two material types: timber and fibre cement tiles. These enclosures create well lit spaces throughout. The form purposely juxtaposes the surrounding fields, whereas the materials blend the design into the context. RIBA Stages 2-3
STOKEWOOD LEISURE CENTRE BOURNEMOUTH FOOTPRINT ARCHITECTS 2015 I completed Concept and Planning stage packages for this open plan gym extension to locally listed gym and swimming pool. I liased with Bournemouth Council the client, planning authority and building regulations officer. The charred timber comes from the idea: to ‘stoke’ wood, whilst simultaneously referencing a historic fire that burnt down the original buildings before they were replaced.

Through our physical being, we create a two way process of interacting in which we are challenging the space surrounding us rather than observing it, and learning to navigate its boundaries through sensory cues.
The OxArch photography competition run by the school’s architectural society challenges students to push their photography skills further. Students submit photographs taken from excursions and compete for a cash prize. This year unit trips have included Brussels, Cuba, Berlin, Ibiza and Georgia offering worthy inspiration.
the street as the three dimensional environment is unveiled through sensations, enabling us to measure the boundaries of our space and with what and whom we share it. Each sense is activated differently, but they come together as a whole to read and navigate the given environment. Where ‘sound measures space and makes its scale comprehensible1, for example, we can understand the magnitude of a cathedral by how noise is carried away and echoed throughout the space, or judge the distance of a moving vehicle by the intensity of its sound.

With an understanding of Merleau Ponty’s Primacy of Perception and the underlying idea that we are embodied beings, physically constrained to the space in which we inhabit, it is evidential that we cannot operate objectively from the external world. We rely on the senses as the first point of contact with our surroundings, using them to absorb any information of a given place. In a city situation, we become immersed in the smells, sounds and feelings of
This article explores the boundaries between life and death and the animate and inanimate, aiming to investigate strategies of representing these liminal states. At the heart of it lies the uncanny, a concept widely associated with Freud and which describes a realm where we may encounter uncertainty, dread and disorientation. I am interested in images that exist in this strange hinterland where we are confronted with a transformed reality, and where “the distinction between the imagination and reality is effaced”1.

In an age where the image of place is dominated by a frontal perspective perception, our awareness of the spatial relationship between person and space has noticeably declined. Visual prioritising has resulted in a decreased understanding of what it is like ‘to feel’ in our surroundings and there runs a risk of design falling short of our needs by failing to note the haptic realm in which we experience the space around us. There is a general understanding of a client when designing architecture or public space, but more often than not this focuses on the logistics

Through our physical being, we create a two way process of interacting in which we are challenging the space surrounding us rather than observing it, and learning to navigate its boundaries through sensory cues. This demonstrates the necessity of placemaking that is empathetic to the human scale. More recent city development has seen a loss of this characteristic,
