Year 1 - AAD Advanced Architectural Design
This programme demanded a rethinking of the conventional form of architecture by creating a series of physical models and exploring a variety of materials and model making techniques. A prevalent theme that appeared in this unit was the aesthetic of Gothic architecture.
To confront this premise I conducted a number of experimental projects which involved the manipulation of light on textures in different scales. As well as focusing on the intricacy of model making, it allowed me to document and understand better all stages of design process from the outline of the brief, to concept and technical design to the final stage of construction.

Year 2 - Exploration of Digital Environments
My final project depicted a hybrid space which is semi-organic, semi-mechanical and semi-digital. Its aim was to articulate the intersection of three main spheres in our society - technology, psychology and build environment.
The project re-imagined architecture as a form of interface between our bodies and technology, showing how artificial environments can shape our obsessions. Modern technology can infiltrate our dreams and change the way we perceive reality. It can be seen as a form of escapism which can ultimately result in an addiction to a virtual reality.
Taking inspiration from Stanley Kubricks ‘A Clockwork Orange’ I constructed a VR model designed specifically to combat the over-indulgence in modern technology with a sensory overload of visual and aural experiences. The virtual space introduced encounters with technological over-indulgence in a safe environment.
