Objectives To assist and leave a positive impact has been a priority in and outside of the workplace. To find environmental and ecological solutions for new and existing spaces. Lastly, with my skills from my previous courses, the opportunity to learn and gain experience from senior technicians and gain greater insight into being an architectual technologist.

Personal Statement What I am looking to achieve from this position is to enhance my knowledge and love of effective structures for the community. My passion to become an architectural technologist stems from the motivation to lower our carbon footprint, whilst investigating new technology that benefits the client and their needs. This role will give me the opportunity to assist and provide a response to the needs of these communities.

Man Ray Fashion Show Leeds Beckett University / Brief: ‘Design an Event’ for an artist and their friends. Base the design around a given postcard of an artist’s painting or sculpture. Design an event around the artist’s approach to their work/their life. Client: The resources used in this space are a mixture of transparent, translucent and opaque materials. The chance to experiment with silhouettes, lightness and darkness which are elements that are iconic in the Rayographs. When people come to visit this event, it is expected for them to receive the same reaction as if they came to watch one of Man Ray’s films.
Inspiration from Man Ray’s “Rayographs”.

Sitting Pretty - Structural Spaces Leeds Beckett University / Brief: The renovation of the old betting Tote is to house a saddle making showcase and temporary accommodation. The idea is to plan a new perspective on saddlers, users will engage in the saddler’s process whilst being inside a form-intelligent structure. This space will provide opportunity to create new experiences for the customers whilst expanding the racecourse’s priority to have a domain of leisure. Client: Greville Worthington wants the idea for the Tote to accompany flexible, functioning spaces, but also to be as a structural installation.

Sitting Pretty - Structural Spaces Leeds Beckett University / Key Material: Stainless Steel The concept was driven from the stirrup and how they support the jockey when racing. Furthermore, in development it is focused on suspension and the structure of a stirrup. Looking at how the foot goes through the stirrup, hanging forms and suspending elements such as the staircase will reference the stirrup that suspends the jockey from the saddle.
Key concept - suspending elements to reference the stirrup. The stirrup is usually made from stainless steel and is appropriate to be the key material for a temporary exhibition installation. As is can be separated systematically, stainless steel can enter the recycling system.

Construction Drawings of Wall to Roof Junction Sheffield Hallam University / Brief: Calculate the thermal transmittance for a domestic construction and find possible solutions to lower the U-Value. Compare fabric heat loss and thermal difference between the original and enhanced construction, include the difference in the size of boiler and energy efficiency. Construction consists of a flat cold roof, timber frame wall and a ground bearing concrete floor.

SO-HUB - Installation Design Nottingham Trent University / Project Aims: In development to the brief, the vision is to create a tranquil and unique study experience for the students at NTU. The space will facilitate multiple functions and it requires to be flexible and adaptable. The potential relationship between the site is to have fluidity to the rest of the Maudslay building, provide an es-cape to intense study sessions.
Study and function of spaces. These elements would include transparent glass as a whiteboard component, frosted glass for privacy, holders to put their loose papers in. To allow as much light to enter this space, I've allowed some laser cut holes above the display to form enough light exposure for the student to study in an appropriate environment.

SO-HUB - Installation Design Nottingham Trent University / Project Aims: The desk space and display stands have a contrasting, but complimentary material to the glass panels, which is a light particle-board plywood. An inexpensive, versatile and easily replaceable component that adds to the natural vibe of the space, which can be workable in conjunction to displaying work and presenting plans and elevations.
Reflective elements such as glass panels are used. To divide sections of the space whilst keeping the space open by visualising the rest of the room.
