The firm was contracted by The Four Seasons, Limassol to create a Japanese Bar on the balcony next to an existing cafe. Two Architects including myself were tasked with the design of the bar. The idea was to keep within the current style of The Four Seasons whilst adding a Japanese touch to the new bar. The idea was to create a physical differentiation between the cafe and the bar through the use of stepping stones over a shallow pond. Around the pond white gravel filled with plants will be placed to further fracture the existing to the proposed. The canopies were designed to keep to the existing directionality of the hotel whilst creating a layering effect with each layer hiding LED concealed lighting. The varnished 5cm iroko strips will also follow the same directionality and the border will be created of 20cm varnished cherry wood. The bar will be created of strips of different types of varnished wood. These strips will be placed unevenly on the horizontal axis giving the effect seen in the renders. There will also be two display cases within the bar showcasing the food to prospective customers. The tables and chairs will be of a simple design as the bar allowing for a continuous aesthetic in a much simpler form. The frame will be created of cherry wood and the external planks will be of iroko wood.

Scordis and Papapetrou required a building to house their law firm in Limassol, Cyprus. Each member of the design team was tasked with creating a design. The following design was my proposal to the clients which was selected for construction. My proposal was based on keeping the envelope minimal. This was accomplished through the use of vertical and horizontal accents criss crossing. Incorporated within the vertical elements are louvers used for shading all glazed areas as Cyprus has sunny weather all year round. Left Page: Render Right Page: Floor Plans

Mr Mixalakis set the brief for the project as a single story, 300m2 home with three ensuite bedrooms and a pitched roof. The project was assigned to me and one other architect within the office. Each of us set out to create their own idea within Revit. I decided to forget about the conventional pitched roof and find a way of incorporating it into a modern exterior. I decided that my facade materials would be wood / concrete and white painted brick walls and that windows will be vertical, whilst volumes will be horizontal. The following plan and renders were my proposal to the client. My plan was selected by the client but a later iteration of the envelope was selected which has a more conventional pitched roof due to price limitations.

G.S Architects designed Mr Edens house a year ago and it is currently in the final stages of construction. Mr Eden requested modern office furniture that would incorporate an existing TV and be used with laptops by both himself and his wife. The following is the final design created by myself for the client it uses varnished iroko wood and lacquered off-white wood.

A project to design the interior of 3 flats in Limassol, Cyprus. The following renders were created to allow for the visualisation of the interior finishes when they were still empty shells. The kitchen will be created by carpenters in Cyprus and will be made of white carcasses with white lacquered doors. The Counter top and backsplash will be made of imported nano glass as it allows for a perfect white gloss finish. The dining room table will also be created of nano glass with steel reinforcements and legs. All other wooden white furniture will be the same white lacquered wood. These include the TV unit, bookshelf, coffee table and unit behind the couch.

The table was created using two main materials. Steel for the legs and frame and nanoglass for the top surface. Nanoglass is the material used for the kitchen counter tops and to continue with the white finish an extra sheet of the material was ordered. The sheet was sent to a factory to be cut and angled for a 70mm border around the table. An i-beam was sand blasted, cut, finished and varnished for the legs at the same metal workshop that the frame was made.

Andreas Theodorou requested modern furniture and finishings for a small one bedroom flat. Existing fittings like the doors, kitchen and tiles could not be changed. The following images show the new interior from concept render to the completion of the carpentry works. Changes have occurred during the process, the storage unit next to the TV has changed so as to match the coffee table. The wall behind the TV has been moved 10cm out by the use of a wooden box painted in white lacquer, so as to allow for the wires to travel down to the TV appliance unit without being seen.

The project was to design a modern interior for a small Salsa bar / Cafe in London. The budget was quite low, therefore the concept was to keep the current real wood floors and red aged brick look and apply a white and copper interior. Once entering the Salsa Bar / Cafe, the bar is directly in front of the customer. To the right the seating area will be located. At the back of the building is the double height dance floor with a spiral staircase. On the second floor, couches replace the chairs to form a more laid back lounge area. The toilets and cleaners cabinet are also located in this area. Left Page: Upper: Render Lower: Atmospheric Section Right Page: Upper: Atmospheric Plans Lower: Diagrammatic Analysis Below : Plans

Excluding Mesh
Straight Meshes
Along the Bar
Adding Spirals and Joining Meshes
The main requirements i have set out to meet with the use of meshes are:
The initial ideas was to use meshes that emphasise the length of the building whilst also meeting other requirements set above. This was achieved by using liner meshes. Further analysis reviled that these meshes broke the curves created by the bar and spiral stair case.
The meshes were realigned as to follow the lines of the bar toilets and windows. On the ground floor the second mesh is an offset of the bar whilst of the first floor the second mesh follows the window line.
Finally to emphasise the movement within dance and the continues motion of dance, the mesh that follows the bar “jumps� up the stairs to meet the mesh that follows the line of the toilets. This mesh then joins the upper mesh that follows the line of the window and comes round to finish off spiralling down onto of the dance floor as can been seen from the diagram above.
To emphasize the movement of dance. This will be done by allowing the meshes to move with the use of air (by the use of air conditioning units) or by mechanics (a system built into the curtains like meshes). This will be further emphasised by down lighting originating within the mesh housing attached to the roof. To push the customers towards the dance floor. This will be achieved with the directionality of the curtain like meshes.

A biginning for system independance
During the 2013 AA Visiting School in Cyprus, our team developed an urban proposal for the village of Athienou enclosed entirely within the Buffer Zone. Our focus was the historic tendency of the village to become self sustained. We investigated an algae production canopy that would create an independent village entity capable of producing and exporting sustainable energy suggesting its independence as ‘A republic of Athienou’ Team Members: George Voniatis Christos Antonopoulos Chris Lo Coordinator:

Site & Analysis Sugar House Lane is located within Lower Lee Valley to the South of the 2012 Olympic venues. The road is encompassed with buildings relating to the film industry, thus labeling itself a Media Village. Within it reside companies which provide everything from recording studios, stage production, catering services, equipment lending services, lighting services, an acting school etc. The services the Media Village provides are lent out to third parties who would like to record a film or TV episode within the facilities. Missing from the area is the creation of filmmaking talent. The project is about merging the thriving film industry within the area with a school to provide new talent, in the form of Directors, Producers, Editors, Cinematographers, Sound Designers, Screen Writers and Animators, directly to the Media Village. Allowing 3 Mills Studios to create their own movies and become a self sustainable organisation by the launch of their own label. The building tories in the and relate to the industrial
uses local geometry and building trajeccreation of its exterior form to visually link the existing studio buildings, as well as to buildings to the West of Lee Valley Canal.
The volumetric arrangement of spaces uses the film production process as a precedent. A walk through the building will take the users through areas that represent the process of filmmaking, from the acquisition of the script, to the creation of the gold master and distribution. The use of film techniques as a means of formulating spaces and aesthetics, allows for students to experience different film making techniques in both physical, as well as visual ways throughout the building. By doing this the building becomes a tool in the teaching of filmmaking rather than only a vessel for learning to happen within.

The program has been broken down into its fundamental components. Once the components have been analysed and all required rooms addressed, an analysis of what each space would be used for and what has been done. The program was compared with the film production process and the table to the right was created. This table lists each space relevant to the section of the production process it is associated with. This was used to formulate the sequence in which the rooms would be placed within the building.

Use of Film Techniques
Film techniques were converted to architectural moments to be used through out the building as to allow for the teaching of film making thought the architecture of the building. Film techniques chosen range from Dynamic Motion to Montaging. These techniques were used both internally and externally thought out the building. The diagram on the left page shows were each of these effects were used within the building. Left page: Locations Techniques have been used Right page: Film Techniques
28 1 Building Form
Film Technique: Montaging The exterior of the building consists of montaged sectional elements arranged by the use of a grasshopper script I have created to allow for the trajectory that influenced the shape of the volume to affect the distance and amount of differentiation between each of the eight sections that comprise each volume.
2
2 Building Form
Film Technique: Changing and warping of perspectives Changing and warping of perspective was used as one of the main techniques in the creation of the envelope and ceilings of the building. Each montaged element was shifted as to create a ripped roof and ceiling structure based on the trajectory lines that the section of the building was created from. This creates an exterior reminiscent of an editing strip of film with todays available technologies.
3 Light Wells
Film Technique: Camera Angle Lights wells allow views down to the ground floor circulation areas.
1
4 Glazed Wall
Film Technique: Camera Angle A Glazed Wall allows a view down to the main entrance hall and out to the building yard.
5 Windows
Film Technique: Montage / Framing Windows are placed as to allow specific views out. Two or three separate windows further enforces the facades montaged element. They allow for light to enter the spaces while the louvres on the outside obstruct the views to the North of South allowing for framed Lea Valley Canal views to the West and the studios to the East.

6 Workshop
4
Film Technique: Camera Angle The raised roof of the workshop allows for a glazed area to allow a view down into the workshop from the outdoor patio.
6
7 Viewing Platform
7
Film Technique: Framing Above the workshops is a viewing platform which allows for visual links to both the site and the building dock as well as overview of the entire sugar house lane site. By raising the floor of this area by another metre it is high enough to see to the end of the building dock without the obstruction of the existing buildings. Creating a wide angle framed view of the entire site.
9

10 11
8 Corridor
11
Film Technique: Dynamic Motion The corridor changes width at each individual core allowing for the speeding up and slowing down of users of the building as to allow others to pass in the opposite directions. This is further increased by adding a seating area to the side of the media classrooms.
9 Glazed Atriums / Light Wells
Film Technique: Camera Angle Allow for views to the central media classroom and to the ground floor central animation classroom.
15 15
5
10 Recording Studios / Motion Capture
Film Technique: Framing Framed views into The Studio and Motion Capture Rooms allow for students and tutors to oversee the activity both in these rooms and the control rooms.
11 Glazed Atriums / Light Wells
Film Technique: Camera Angle Allow for views down to the open plan workstation area as well as allowing for natural light to penetrate down to this area.
16
3 8

9 3 12
12 Ramps
Film Technique: Dynamic Motion Slowing and speeding of movement is accomplished through the use of glazed ramps within the circulation route allowing for the manipulation of the users’ speed which is visible to other occupants within the encompassing vicinity.

13 14
13 Editing Suites Corridor
12 15
Film Technique: Framing The corridor runs from East to West. On the east it is connecting to a transition space that houses a lift core and two atriums. Looking directly down the corridor creates a framed view of the West of the site across the Lea Valley Canal.
15
12
14 Cinema Corridors
12
Film Technique: Shadows Shadows are used as a means of altering emotions and creating a mood. The corridors leading up to the cinema create a buffer zone between the rest of the buildings well lit concrete environment and the cinemas copper finish. By allowing light to be projected into these corridors from in front of the cinemas access points the eminent response is to go towards the light.
15 Cinemas
Film Technique: Contrast of colour Contrary to the rest of the building that has a timber stained concrete finish, the cinemas are finished in copper. This allows for a maximum contrast between the cold concrete finish and the warm copper colour. Allowing for a more soothing atmosphere.
1 Framing 16 Crossings Platform creared as to allow for Film Technique: Framing two crossing framed views. The crossings run site fromand East along to West. Entering from the east gives a framed view of Along the the the Lea Valley Canal whilst Entering from the East gives a framed view of sugar house building dock lane. This is accomplished by insetting these cores as to allow for less exposure to south sun and creating them totally out of glass.
17 Open Plan Computing Area
Film Technique: Framing The open plan computing area is completely glazed to the West. Though glazed it is shielded by louvres which act as an obstructive barrier to the north or south. Therefore creating a framed view to the West where the Lee Valley Canal is situated.

Shadows are used to influence the mood and atmosphere of specific movies. Placing shadows in the right places to provide different emotions and feeling to the viewers of a film is a vital movie technique which was used a lot in film noir from the early 40s to the late 50s. Sin City (2005) used exactly these effects to influence the mood of the views and add grittiness to the movie. In the first frame light is being filtered in from the top of the image allowing for the shadows of both the car and the character to face towards the audience. As the car is facing away from the light and towards the shadows it expresses that there is evil and bloodshed ahead. In the second frame the background is dimmed down with the use of shadows allowing for the character to be the only object within the screen.
Scenography - Dynamic Motion: Dynamic Motion: Any move in which body momentum is used to progress. As opposed to static technique where three-point suspension and slow, controlled movement is the rule. Spacial Paradigm shift: A paradigm is our perception of reality based on what we can currently see from the defined location Scenography: the art of representing objects in perspective, especially as applied in the design and painting of theoretical scenery
Within a building shadows can be a powerful way of pushing people towards a desired location as well as creating an atmosphere. By using shadows in specific ways throughout non light sensitive areas like corridors and exterior spaces students can be taught about influencing emotions and how they can use this technique within film making
Dynamic Motion in movies is used to define the speed of different scenes and set a focus on a specific element within the scene. I will be using this technique to speed up or slow down the movement through the building by using ramps or staircases in the desired locations.
For example in A Clockwork Orange Slow motion and fast forward are used to emphasise importance within an action vs unimportant. Scenery is also used to frame this idea of what is important. For example in the slow motion scene when the actors are walking next to the water everything calm and in grey scale in contrast with the sex screen that is fast forwarded the colours are all vibrant and even more emphasised by the music introduced in the screen.
Contrast of Colour: Most visible in black and white movies contrast of colours is a technique used by directors and cinematographers to emphasise specific people and objects. In 1993 Spielberg directed Schindler’s List, a movie about the second world war, specifically, the plot is placed in Poland and the Nazis rounding up the Jewish. Spielberg decided to create this movie in black and white but decided in one screen to add the colour red to a young Jewish girl. This was done for multiple reasons, firstly to add focus to what the main character was looking at as the scene was full of people, secondly to show that he had sympathy towards the young girl.
Camera Angle: There are two main ways that camera are positions to emphasise the extremes: Camera LOW makes person seem bigger stronger more confident. Camera HIGH makes person seem smaller, insubstantial, suppressed, isolated, oppressed. The two examples I have Used for this are both Hitchcock movies. The first Citizen Kane used the Low Camera technique developed by Hitchcock to emphasise power and strength of character as shown in the image. The second is the High Camera technique which allows of the character to seem smaller, scared and suppressed in the case this frame from Shadows of a Doubt.
Montage The Process or technique of selecting, editing and piecing together separate sections of film to form a continuous whole. A good example of montaging used in film is the training screen in Rocky IV. The music thought the screen is a continues song whilst the film clips jump between the two protagonists that are preparing to fight each other. The contrast between the simple bare boned training of the protagonist compared to the technologically advanced training of his opponent. Furthermore the difference between Rocky training by himself and only having one person observing him contrasting with the way his opponent is being observed and monitored by professionals and cheered on by a crowd.
Framing the Shot: Framing: A video or movie frame is a single picture or still shot, that is shown as part of a larger video or movie. Many single pictures are run in succession to produce what appears to be a seamless piece of film or videotape. Each frame can be selected on its own to print out a single photograph. There are many ways to manipulate what the viewer sees within a frame and what access is provided to. The editor cuts the original Full Shot to one of the following as to emphasise something specific: Full Shot: Establishing shot / Full Story / Full Context Cowboy shot: Cut Bottom 4th / Draw view towards main event Medium shot: Cut Bottom 3rd / Draw view Further Towards Main Event Closeup: Cut Top and Bottom 2nd / Removed all distractions Extreme closeup: Minimum details access / Removes all unnecessary data The main question asked is what is the story being told in the specific frame. These two frames are from The Graduate the first shows the overall screen. That the protagonist is laying on his bed having a drink watching television. The second focuses in on the face showing that he is lost in thought and blacking out the background to further more accentuate that the feelings are of contemplation
Colour can be used as to emphasise specific objects in the case of a building colour can be used to emphasise layers of importance. For example the recording studio can be emphasised in an all grey scale building by having a coloured door. Thus pulling attention towards its self.
The angle of the camera within film making can be directly translated into an architectural technique. By shifting floor plates creating a staggered system where views can be created and controlled between spaces replicating the same angles used for the expression of emotions within filmmaking. By creating this type of staggered system users of ascending level will have a view up into the level above themselves, seeing where they will be after completing there current level. Whilst the level above can see down onto the level below themselves where they were they previously were.
Montaging is the technique of layering different parts of movies into a single continues sequence of events. This movie technique combined with framing can be used to create a seamless experience through the pathway by framing different objects that complement each other. Whist at the same time teaching students about the effects of montaging.
By framing what the occupants of the building can see in and out of different spaces and from one space to another. Different sized sheet glass windows can be used to give framed views of specific things from specific locations throughout the building and out. The framing could happen throughout the circulation route of the building.

Site Strategy Looked at the site directionality and used it to figure out a local grid. The grid was extruded inwards as to create a sequence of irregular shaped areas. The second grid was created through the use of trajectory lines. These were taken from all the buildings surrounding the site which had a direct view into the site. Two colliding rectangles with an overall size to fit all the programs were placed on the site and their edges were tapered to comply with the edges of the trajectory curves. The rectangles have been devised to provide individual modules for each of the programs within the building by the means of the trajectory curves. This allows for the creation of horizontal atriums and light wells. There atriums and light wells were pushed one to two segments of the grid back to block south light from entering the buildings facade from these areas. Using this method to create the building allows for the linking of the existing surounding buildings with the proposed buildings.

Short Sections and Elevation
Section 1 - Seminar Rooms Cutting through the 6 seminar rooms, the observation balcony and the circulation routes. The balcony is placed as to allow for the next volumes, to the south, retaining wall to block south light while still allowing views out towards the Lea Valley Canal. Excess light entering the internal spaces is controlled by the use of louvres. The ceiling is inclining towards the observation balcony redirecting attention to the exterior view. An opening within the first floor’s circulation flooring allows for light and views down to the ground floor from the glazed crossing core.
Section 2 - Lecture Theatres The two lecture theatres are adjoined by the first floor corridor, seating 105 students per lecture theatre. These spaces are used for formal lectures as there are 4 screening rooms to the back of the building. The area under the lecture theatres is reserved for storage. Directly after the lecture theatres is the main entrance into the building which is a two story glazed entrance hall with the reception / Offices to the West.
Section 1 - Seminar Rooms
Section 2 - Lecture Theatres
Section 3 - Circulation The glazed devising core is used for circulation. An emergency entrance is placed behind the staircase allowing for access to the first floor to the West. To the East a lift provides access for disabled users. The glazed atrium in the centre of the core allows for light to the classrooms in the centre of the building and natural ventilation. The East downstairs corridor leads to the workshop on the ground floor and to an observation balcony on the upper floor. The balcony is raised by one meter as to allow a visual access down into the workshop. The West corridors run the length of the building.
Section 4 - Circulation This circulation core provides lifts and a ramp to access the second floor. Placed between the recurring studios and the open plan computing area ground floor / editing suites on the first floor. To the east is one of the main entrances from the Lea Valley Canal side into the building allowing for direct access to the ramp to the first floor. Whilst to the West the access is to the Media equipment store which has both internal and external access as to allow students shooting within the external crossing area to have quick access to the storage area. within the centre of the floor plate lies an atrium allowing for light to slow down to the ground and floor and natural ventilation.

West / Canal - Pathway The West / Canal facing side of the building follows the trajectory of the canal allowing for a continuous pathway along its edge. The building’s facade waivers in height by the subdivisions created to mimic the montaging effect. This corridor has multiple seating areas as well as semi-internal spaces covered just by louvers. Multiple entrances into the building are placed along this pathway, allowing for both access to the building and crossing to the other side. At the end of this corridor is a green area to the south planted with trees. There are two viewing platform on the first floor facing out towards the West.

Main Entrance - East The main entrance is located at the centre point of this building. This creates an external central crossing between the building dock and the A11 High Street. The main hall is a fully glazed envelope allowing for direct views across the building yard and the Lower Lea Valley Canal. To the south this main entrance is the fully glazed main ramp allowing for access to the first floor.
3
Ground Floor - Circulation Main access to the first floor is accommodated within a glazed ramp with direct access from the west [Lea Valley Canal] and from the central double height entrance hall. The next two central volumes to the south are glazed as to allow for light to flow in through the light wells. The corridor is in the centre of the building and therefore is periodically lit by the same light wells. Allowing for moments where light can be controlled and others where sunlight provides illumination. The layer upon layer of filtered glass through reflections allows for the film technique - warping of perspective to be represented within the main access area and ramp.
4
Classroom - Masters Directors All furniture within the room is left aligned as to allow an unobstructed view towards 3 Mills Studios. The room is split into three sectors, the first is casual containing a seating area with a large screen and a book/dvd library. Catering to watching a film in small groups or screens in tutorials as well as allowing for an area for reading within the directors suite. The central area consists of a metal pinup board and the workstations. Six work stations are spaced as to allow for students to work on there projects. Finally towards the windows is the seminar / meeting area. Providing 6 tables that can be split apart for individual meetings or placed together for seminars where the projects come in use.
5
First Floor - Circulation / Seating Area The ceiling of the main corridor replicates the aesthetic of the facade as to allow for a visual differentiation from other areas spread out throughout the corridor. The wall finish on secondary areas follow a different aesthetic as to increase the differentiation. Between every volume is a light well core allowing for natural light to penetrate within the building from the centre and both sides. At the end of the corridor is the recording studio which has two windows [studio / control room] as to allow views within when possible.
6
West to East - Crossing The building contains multiple corridors of which some are clear crossings to the studios to the east. Due to the deep span light wells provide natural light to the centre of the corridor and the classrooms to the North.

Atmospheric / Technical Section & Floor plate detail The section cuts through the Southern most volumes of the building. To the South are located the screening theatres, which are clad in copper panels as to create a contrast of colour with the rest of the building which is timber stained concrete. The corridors are clearly differentiated from the rest of the spaces within the building by the use of the same ceramic fins used as louvres on the exterior facade. These also serve as a means of hiding the services running down the circulation route. Between the volumes, light wells are situated as to allow for natural ventilation as well as light to flow into the deepest spanned areas of the building. Within the area represented in the section all circulation routes are ramps as to allow for disabled access as well as the representation of another movie technique known as dynamic motion. The corridor on the upper level leading to the other two screening rooms is intentionally deprived of natural light or artificial lighting as it is used to represent the film effect of shadows, commonly used in film noir. The technical details explains the ventilation system that would allow for the duel directional flow of air that would ventilate both the upper and lower floors at the same time. The ceramic fins are placed throughout the circulation area as to hide the ventilation and water ducts are well as to conceal the structural I-beams.

Exploded Axonometric & Moving Mechanical Louvre System
A breakdown of the material layers that consist within the main contraction of the building. Due to East and West facing glazing covering an extensive amount of the envelope, louvres have been used to reduce direct sunlight and natural heating. These louvers cover both East and West facades of the volumes but not of the intruded circulation and crossing cores. The louvers cover both glazed and non glazed areas. To achieve maximum shielding on glazed areas the louvers move by a maximum of 45 degrees from the buildings trajectory in both directions. Each volumes louvres move independently of each other as the angle facing towards the south differs from each other. Louvres used for a consistent aesthetic feel to the exterior do not move.

Renders The Thousand Platters project was a pure coding project. The goal was to create a project based on the coding concept of relaxation. The project I decided to code was an internal/external fluctuating roof and floor created of plates that are ready to be prefabricated based on elements the program creates. These floors can be stacked as with the example on the right page to create a high rise building. Left Page: Roof and Internal Renders Right Page: High Rise in Context

Analysis The relaxation algorithm is used to relax the points as to create a fluent surface that can be prefabricated. The program runs within rhino. The user is asked to input the size of the area and how many times the relaxation code should be run. After this the program asked you to allocate the positions where each of the columns will be placed and what sizes you would like each column to be. The images to the right explain the variables and relaxation. Whilst the flowchart bellow is the program broken down into its inputs, processes and outputs.

relaxation the relaxation for the ground and roof happen separately so the user can define a different value for each of the two [relaxation] / [relaxationU]. The user is prompted for the number of times the relaxation should run for each at the beginning of the script after setting up the size of the grid. The relaxation occurs towards the average distance between the spheres around itself. The smallest spheres indicate the starting point of each [cell] and the larger spheres indicate the movement from the starting points. The larges spheres indicate a column therefore the cells are also attracted to these points. external_panes

columns there are 5 different sizes of columns programmed within the model. the user can define the size of each of the colons by entering a value from 1 to 5 the later the value the bigger the area the colons will require at the centre point. The size that crosses with the floor and ceiling is slightly larger as the columns increase in size as the venture out of the centre point

Catalogue of Rotational Study Looked at the variations through rotations of specific geometries including Mรถbius strip, Ruled surfaces, Single Double and Triple Helix as well as Twists, and how these rotations form volume and structure. By applying surface deformations to the original grid through the rotations listed above, the spaces are split through self intersecting diagonal volumes creating dramatic and oblique double and triple height spaces.

Envelope Design Four experimental models were made as to analyse the rotational techniques derived from the catalogue. There concepts were 3D modeled and then physically modeled out of 2mm balsa wood. Each of the models had a combination of the rotational techniques. The final model was created using a Mรถbius strip to remove an area in the base volume to create a public access area which is also the bottom level of the envelope embedded within the base. The bottom level of the envelope which links to the third follows the angle of the Mรถbius strip. The second to forth levels are placed on a 20 degrees rotation from the ground level and therefore are cantilevering over the empty public space created by the Mรถbius strip.

Analysis Linked directly with West Silvertown DLR Station, The Link is a Culture House in West Silvertown which aims to connect the industrial and residential areas, through both visual as well as physical connections. The base of the culture house is orientated on the same plain as the industrial area in which it resides, whilst from the first floor and above are orientated towards the residential area creating visual links between the buildings and both areas. Access from the industrial area can be gained from the east and west of The Link appealing to the workers commuting by means of the DLR station. From the residential area access can be gained from the north side of the culture house where there is a footpath which directly mimics the directionality and width of the main footpath used to access the DLR station. The Link houses two cinemas, a jazz bar, food hall, music school, cafes, bars and a local market.

The plinth / ramp allows for direct access to the platform and also creates a space within for the food hall. The shape of the plinth allows for an exterior event space between the DLR Station and itself.
Grid “scaffolding” developed during the model workshop to allow for the black box buildings to be held up within the scaffolding system and to allow a system of a double envelope with an interstitial walkway within.

Models The project model went thought 5 iterations. From the initial concept to the final model. Modeling was used as one of the main processes of determining how the building could change and if the columns would hold the building. The models were formulated in section. The base and building were made of laser cut white card whilst the structural columns were made of 5mm balsa wood. Left Page: Model Iterations Right Page: Chosen Model Photos

Church Extension
Front Extension to Greek Orthodox Church
64
One of the main project I worked on at GLA Architecture and Design was a front extension to the Greek Orthodox Church of St. Anthony the Great and St. John the Baptist in London, England. The new glazed extension was designed as to house a candle lighting area and the new office. As the Church was a grade II listed building the idea to create a fully glazed front extension was acceptable by the council as it did not subtract from the value of the facade of the building whilst allowing for the church to gain the extra space required.

The GreenHouse Housing 12 Green Companies in a Shared Environment
The third year first term brief was based on a real project called The GreenHouse. The aim of the project was to create a sustainable building to house the headquarters of multiple non-profit organisations, whose aims are to reduce carbon emissions around the world.

The Eco-Hostel 67
Eco Hostel and BBC Studio on Brownsea Island
My final third year project, was to design an eco hostel on Brownsea Island, a location with no source of water, gas or electricity. We were also asked to place a Studio for the BBC within the hostel. My approach was to place the hostel on the south facing side of the island, on a hillside linking the meadow above the hill to the shore below, and then orientate every room as to gain electricity from the photovoltaic panels on the roofs throughout the day. The power generated can then be stored in the two battery rooms and be used to power the studio, and when needed at night to power lighting. The building will be raised above the ground by stilts to allow for ventilation beneath the building and also to reduce the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influence on the ground of the site. The windows are shaded by shutters which close down to block light during the summer and still allow views out, and raised in the winter to allow light to flow into the building. A water collection system throughout the building will collect water during rain and store it in a tank at the top of the site. Hot water and heating will be provided by a solar thermal system that will heat the water to allow it to flow to the collection tank whilst passing through the underfloor heating pipes. The waste tank will be at the bottom of the site therefore not requiring pumps.

Clay Mines Research

Mining
68
The Clay Mines was my second year final project. The brief was to design a school or learning facility that the public in the area around Old Street could interact with. My idea was to design an area to mine London Clay and to use it to construct a building which would be made of a combination of the clay and fibber optics to create a see-through clay building. This building would constantly be transformed by the amount of prefabricated slabs there are in the basement of the building. The lift and concrete retaining wall are the only contents within the building - everything else could change. The clay slabs are held up by a complex set of scaffolding that can also be changed depending on the design of the building. To the back of the site there will be a building dedicated to leering and research on clay and fibber optics.

Infinite Stage 69
My second year first term Project was to create a 20th century avant-garde Pre-Formative Production within any area of the Hayward Gallery. My idea was to create a stage based on Kieslerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Space Stage. The stage would have the ability to slightly swing from side to side at random and at the top level on the stage there would be curved glass pieces placed around the stage, thus giving the illusion that the staged area does not end and that it goes beyond its boundaries.

Upper Left: Plan and Section Lower Left: Technical Drawings of the joints that will allow the stage to move. Due to the precision of the motion required and the type of motion that I required, I had to design my own joint and motor system for the infinite stage. Right: This isometric drawing is of the same detail shown to the left. It was created to show how each piece will fit together to create the device. Below: Poster

M1: M1 is a Motor that controls the direction the motors are facing. M2 and M3: are two stepper motors that control both the direction and speed that the wheels spin in. as these wheels spin they make the half round steel plate move therefore moving the stage.
This section shows how the stage will move in two directions.
The wheels are constantly applying down force onto the metal plate due to the sprint pushing the system down. This pushes the metal half sphere down onto the casing of the joint. When the wheels spin they push the metal plate to the same direction as the motor wheel spins. This action moves the pole that connects from the joint to the stage and therefore moves the stage to the same direction. Since stepper motors are used they can be very accurate and move the stage very precisely to any angle required.
