Trinity Buoy Wharf
•
Buildings were constructed throughout the Victorian period, and a number of them still exist today, including the Electrician's Building, constructed in 1836.
•
Built by Douglass in 1864, the Experimental Lighthouse and its neighbour, the Chain and Buoy Store, were used to test nautical illumination technology and teach lighthouse operators. The famed scientist Michael Faraday's workspace was located on the roof area adjacent to the current lighthouse.
•
Trinity House established an engineering establishment at Trinity Buoy Wharf in 1869 to repair and test the new iron buoys that were being used at the time. Overcrowding quickly became an issue, therefore in 1875 the operations moved westwards into the adjacent Green's Shipyard site. By 1910, Trinity Buoy Wharf employed about 150 people, including engineers, platers, riveters, pattern makers, blacksmiths, tinsmiths, carpenters, painters, chain testers, and labourers.
•
Trinity House Corporation, now known as Elder Brethren of Trinity House, began using the site in 1803.
•
The seawall was reconstructed by George Mundy of Old Ford in 1822.
•
The site was used as a maintenance facility and as a storage facility for the many buoys that aided navigation on the Thames, as well as the wharf for docking and repairing lightships.
•
The original lighthouse was built in 1852 by the engineer of Trinity House, James Walker, and was demolished in the late 1920s.
•
The second lighthouse, which still exists, was built by James Douglass in 1864– 66 for Trinity House.
•
Lighting systems were tested around England and Wales for Trinity House's lights.
•
There, Michael Faraday carried out experiments. Lighthouse keepers were also trained at both lighthouses.

Container City incorporates shipping containers to make high-strength, prefabricated steel components that can be connected to form a broad range of building designs and may be customised to meet most planning or end-user requirements.
• The Princes Foundation uses Container City 2 as a basis for teaching traditional building craft and textiles courses to secondary school students from all across the city. It is the centre focus of Trinity Buoy Wharf, with 22 studios and 5 floors of workspace.
• Container City 2 is, in my opinion, an efficient approach to use space with these metal containers because it saves time by creating a place that can be improved by adding a specific shape and an original design to the outside.
Hyperplane development in Chengdu, China
• The shapes of the hyper plane looks organic, in night time the lighting making it more pleasant with a nice atmosphere.
• The HyperLane, a 2.4-kilometer multi-level linear sky park
in the centre of the city's music and arts university sector, is a youth culture and lifestyle destination. It creates a bright, funoriented linear space that connects the local transportation hub with Chengdu's university population and campus.
• It connects the university to the new Chengdu fast train station,
as well as providing direct north/south connections from student housing to the university campus. The socially defined space, which was designed prior to COVID-19 and completed shortly after lockdown, is the ideal answer to social separation from an urban space in accordance with local norms.
Glimpse into the surreal, overgrown environment
. This work takes place in a universe where nature is the building
and the building is the feature wall, and where light escaping through leaves becomes nature's disco ball. These works push us to inspire change in how we treat the earth by creating environments where all living things are recognise as equal and human aspects conform to the environment through the juxtaposition of reality.
•
They are created to transport you down pathways that represent a possible future and provide a chance to explore and escape within the captured mood.
Anaha Residential Tower | Surface design • The piko firepit
is reached through a series of terraces and ramps that wind across a reflecting pool. Piko is the Hawaiian name for the navel, which is where life starts, and represents calm and tranquillity. The biggest living wall in Hawaii frames the firepit and reflecting pool.
•
It links the internal and external lobby spaces, moving through the windows, with over 8,000 native plants
• Undulating
terraces resemble coral growth patterns on the pool deck at the top of the structure.
•
A glass bottom lap pool runs out into the ocean at the end of the deck, showing the vibrant city life below.

~Make me Mango~
• The café is
designed to be cozy and with a nice environment to work or study or just to spend some time with someone.
• The interior is designed very well, using wood
and metal material, which is combined nicely. The lights are warm, not to bright to make the eyes uncomfortable.

~Portsoken Pavilion research~
• The Portsoken Pavilion is the focal point of a new landscaped public area that the City of London Corporation commissioned to replace an old gyrators and subways. The modest structure is part of a bigger civic goal to provide space for events and recreation, as well as to improve health and provide natural surveillance.
• Only three places on the monocoque steel structure touch down, with sliding glass walls in between. The pavilion's asymmetry compliments the form of our first pavilion for the City, the St Paul's Cathedral information centre, and its Corten cladding panels will oxidise and turn orange and brown with time, complimenting the listed school and church on either side of the plaza.
• The aged steel's warm tones contrast with the Grade I-listed church's brown brick and the red brick Grade II-listed elementary school. The steel will darken over time, providing an earthy, complementing contrast.

SketchUp Model
• This is my final SketchUp model, representing the Trinity Buoy Wharf area that needs to be reconstructed.
• I’ve put a lot of land scapes because, in my opinion there is a lack of greenery area. This is pleasant to the eyes and it’s a better environment for the people who lives, works and visit Trinity Buoy Wharf.
