PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHIVE

Year 2

Project location Summary

Project 4

Nottingham, UK

This photography archive focuses on encouraging people to take a step back from the shallowness of social media, quick snaps and distractions, and see life from a new perspective through the use of flm photography. The duality of light & dark, the basis of photography, is explored throughout the project.

Light & Dark

The design is split into two halves. One half uses light weight materials such as ETFE to create bright, open spaces for a cafe, workshop and terrace. The other half uses a thick glulam structure and green walls to enclose the darker spaces such as the photo archive, dark rooms and studios. The two halves are connected by suspended walkways to emphasise the transition between light and dark.

Project 2

Great Yarmouth, UK

Summary

This project promotes the use of plastic litter, gathered from the local river, as a material to make artwork. The community, especially children, will be encouraged come to the pavilion to help reduce river litter and reuse it in creative ways.

Strategy

The design strategy aims to re-establish the rows between buildings as active public space which open up to a community plaza that will have a public exhibition and pavilion with connections to the pub. It will inject life back into this area of Great Yarmouth and make better use of the existing car park.

Programme

River litter will be collected by boat that will dock and send bags of plastic to the site using a pulley system. The plastic will then be sorted & cleaned, then dropped into large fshing nets which hang at ground level. The kids can then pick out the plastic they want to use in the workshop for their artwork.

During my year out at L+Architects, I have worked on the concept design, spatial coordination, and technical design of an ofce refurbishment project. The former brewery site is listed but needs refurbishing to accommodate a range of ofce units. The main ofce unit seen above seeks to celebrate the vaulted roof and maximise the space with a canterlivering mezzanine. I developed design interations and produced technical drawings using Revit.

Linford Street

Also at L+Architects, I have worked on the concept design and spatial coordination of a new build commercial project. It consists of industrial warehouse space on the lower foors and ofces and a terrace on the upper foors. The steel trusses, perforated metal cladding and glazing create a sleek, industrial look that is softened by the green terrace and roofs. The design is on track to be rated outstanding in BREEAM. developed design iterations and visualisations using SketchUp.
