AIMSIR STUDIO LTD JEWELLERY, 3D DESIGN, NFTs & ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS I have recently started my own studio that through which I produce various digital and physical outputs for freelance and personal projects. For example I have designed and produced (using 3D modelling software and 3D printing techniques) a collection of sterling silver and 9ct gold rings, packaged in a translucent biodegradable plant-based resin box that I also designed and print myself. AIMSIR Studio is a multidisciplinary design practice that specialises in 3D design, from 3D printed Jewellery to NFT’s. I started AIMSIR with the belief that the greatest opportunities lie on the borders of industries, therefore the future of design lies in collaboration. -Most recently I have been working with artists such as Bran Symondson to create collections of both still and animated NFTs. Some of these were on display at The House of Fine Art (HOFA-Mayfiar, London) from Nov 26th-Dec 9th 2021 as well as at Art Basel. Other projects include a collection of NFTs to celebrate the release of the State of European Tech report, comissioned by venture capital company Atomico; 3D design, NFTs and sculptures for an experience at the Dubai Expo 2020 also shown at DCentral Miami; sculpture work for Warner Music (Burna Boy’s Album Launch Event) and concept design for an event at the O2 Arena. I have also produced various set designs, artwork and packaging for brands such as Heron Preston, Mercedes, Lego, Adidas and Twitter.

POLYOPOLIS 3RD YEAR UNIVERSITY PROJECT The brief for this 3rd year university project was to re-imagine the mill typology. I wanted to revive and evolve the textile industry within Manchester, whist providing a variety of public space to connect the wider community. My research into the textile industry led me to the conclusion that rPET is the most environmentally friendly yarn source. Even more so than organic cotton. There is also a surplus of recycled plastic in Manchester, 81% of which is shipped abroad or put into landfill. Because of this Manchester City Council emphasises the need for a specialised reprocessing Plastics Recovery Facility within Manchester in their report for information on waste and recycling collection. Therefore I decided to design a facility converting raw rPET into yarn.

POLYOPOLIS ‘GREEN STEPS’ STUDY I designed these steps to create the illusion of a green roof from ground level (the grass is on the rise of the step and the tread is tiled). This creates a visual connection between the site, Cotton Field’s Park and it’s ‘Poly Field’ park extension. This relatively lightweight solution allows for large spanning distances to allow for the parking, delivery and maintenance areas to be located below. It would also act as a buffer from the noise, visual and air pollution from the main road to the south, along with blocking the Western prevailing wind. This area provides a community space with views into central Manchester to the south along with Polyfields park: the sheltered extension of Cotton Field’s Park.

POLYOPOLIS ‘GREEN STEPS’ STUDY The main vehicle access will arrive from the ring road to the south, therefore the entrance to the car park and delivery spaces is in the SW corner of the building. This means the greatest elevation of the steps is in the SW corner, providing views into central Manchester.
Roof Plan
DELIVERY ACCESS area enables vehicles up to 5.5m tall to enter, turn and exit, allowing for ease of access to the STORAGE AND SERVICE AREAS (plastic store, yarn store, kitchen).
5.5m
CAR ACCESS (3m tall) is also from the SW corner and parking is available for both workers and the public to visit the park, gallery or shops. This will draw people to the site as there is a shortage of parking spaces in the area. The ‘green steps’ are supported by 2.5m tall concrete walls and the void is filled with soil to plant various vegetation and trees to mitigate the pollution from the road.

POLYOPOLIS SKIN STUDY
GEO-POLYMER CONCRETE
I utilised a structural vault skin (Rhinovault), a technology currently being developed by Philipe Block and his research group. This allows for a thin, fabric like structure MESH
spanning large distances. The construction method requires very little framing which can then be reused therefore far fewer materials are necessary. This system is formed over fabric form-work giving the
GEO-POLYMER CONCRETE
appearance of a ‘soft’ fabric. The reinterpretation of materials considers the unexpected absence of object, playing on the user’s expectations drawing them into the building. This expectation along with a flowing form stim-
HYBRID-KNIT FORM-WORK
ulates a stronger emotion in the user, which will leave a
CABLE-NET FORM-WORK
longer lasting memory.
STEPPED GROUND
The lowest points of the skin are at the columns which channel rainwater towards the water harvesting system to then be recycled.
The form of the skin was designed with the assumption that people are drawn to higher ceilings, therefore using this to subtly dictate the circulation of the space though the curvature of the skin whilst putting emphasis on the factory space, which is the highest point. The skin gets gradually higher towards the north to allow soft light to illuminate the factory, cafe and gallery spaces and improve visual comfort and safety within the factory. ROOF PLAN

STUDIO HOSTEL 2ND YEAR UNIVERSITY PROJECT The brief for this 2nd year university project was to design a creative hostel for groups visiting Manchester. This modular accommodation design was based on research that people work better and think more freely when they are not confined within 4 walls, inside a box. The curvature also acts as constant short fascinations, aiding users mood and attention restoration.

STRAND 3RD YEAR UNIVERSITY PROJECT The brief for this 3rd year university project was to design an instillation using architectural ideas. This led me to research emerging technologies such as shape memory materials (SMM) to create passive systems which could then be utilised in the built environment. The strands are made from fabric with interwoven NiTinol fibres making them extremely sensitive and would react to body heat alone. I used grasshopper to parametrically design the strand layout creating a clear route through the instillation. The SMM strands would react to the user’s body heat and move out of their path allowing them to define their own route. This parametric use of passive systems was designed to feel like a natural ecosystem.
