1.1 / LONDON METROPOLITAN: WORKSHOP AND HOUSE FOR LIPSTICKS’ CRAFTSWOMAN First year’s project was to make up a story of life of a person and design a space for them. As a result, this design was proposed for a craftswoman living and working along Regent’s Canal in London. The aim was to boost the number of bees in London which would also contribute to her lipsticks production by pollinating flowers. Flower petals are used to make a colouring powder for lipsticks and the beeswax is transformend into an organic lipsticks. On an almost 30 sqm plot area a dedicated woman decided to open her workshop and hire local labour. Her objectives were to support sustainable business in
a city and help locals in difficult situations by providing them with work. She combines her lipstick business with an organic way of living - she takes care of bees by creating meadows of wildflowers. She benefits the environment, her own business and also the local labour. The building consists of four floors: from the ground floor to the second floor, there are spaces alocated for the lipstick production - a shop with a big storage upstairs and a place where the beeswax is manufactured. On the top floor, there is the woman’s apartment with an open view to the area. There are also balconies and ramps with beehives and flowers within the building.
LECTURE THEATRE The craftswoman organises lectures about the business behind the self-made cosmetic line production and also teaches about the importance of cruelty-free makeup. Apart from that, she invites specialists which spread awarness of the importance of bees in people’s lives and in the cities.
PICK-UP POINT Boxes with flowers are reloaded and taken to the workshop.
SQUARE Once a month a mini organic makeup festival takes place at this square. The craftswoman invites makeup artists and makers from London to promote and sell their products.
LOCAL SHOPS The lipsticks made in the workshop are vegan and cruelty-free. The owner of the workshop supports local businesses and sells only in their shops.
THE WORKSHOP PICK-UP POINT Flowers after being cut are transported to the workshop by the narrowboats.
Design site. Here is an area where the lipstick craftswoman has her workshop and house. Together with her team they produce and sell organic lipstics made out of bees wax. She also has her own beehives and green fields what facilitates the production of wax and colouring powder which comes from dry flowers. She hires local and has her own shop downstairs.
LAB & SHIPPING A place where the fresh cut flowers are tested in order to use them in the production of lipsticks. Here also arrives the wax which comes from the beehives. At the end of the process the lipscticks are packed and shipped to other local stores.
FLOWER FIELD
FLOWER FIELD Green areas are converted into fields of flowers to create a perfect surrounding for bees
PLANTED TREES As a part of design development, trees are planted in order to help attract more bees to the area
GRAPEVINES FLOWER FIELD
Grapevines attract not only people but also bees which are supposed to surround the workshop and pollinate the flowers
Workers harvest the flowers and transport the fresh cut plants to the lab

1.2 / LONDON METROPOLITAN: BASILDON DUET The final third year project incorporates two primary uses: Wellbeing Centre and Music Venue. The design focus was to bring back life into the Basildon Town Centre and the High Street in Basildon, United Kingdom. The function of high street has changed. In the past, the high street was a place for community. Today, its main function is retail that left empty spaces from the previous social life. On top of that, there is more and more people shopping online and as a result the local shops are being abandoned. If there is no solution for this problem, we will be left with only empty buildings in the middle of city centres. The suggestion is to start combining several
uses within a single building to encourage people of different interests to familiarise themselves with other spaces. On the ground floor, there is an inviting music venue with an open door for street walkers who could enter the building encouraged by beverages from the inside bar or a meal from the cafe located in the central part of the building. In addition, there is a space for artist-like souls who could come for a visit to the inside gallery or enjoy the intimate yoga and wellbeing spaces in the back part. A park with water pond adjacent to the building welcomes not only the users of the but also regular pedestrians.

1.3 / LONDON METROPOLITAN: TANOURA DANCE SCHOOL Third year university project aimed to create a community space on the high street of Whitechapel, London. The design was influenced by the Cork House by Matthew Barnett Howland in order to provide most sustainable building construction.
Tanoura dance is also a religious dance. With its outstanding costumes and spiral movements, amazes people all around the world and that’s what was needed in Whitechapel. Something, that would make this space even more significant.
The Tanoura Dance School is a place for people to learn folklore Orient dances main of which is Tanoura dance. Function of the design came out from the population research which showed the leading ethnic group in that area. It is believed that dance reunites people. Its cultural aspect helps bring their part of the world into London and cherish living there with their families.
There are three dance studios in the building, one of which is the Main Tanoura Dance Studio. There is also a space for performance in the bigger part of the building, and an administration area in the narrow building facing the Whitechapel Road. Cork walls and timber fittings together with the oriental decoration create a cosy and unique interior in the middle of London.

At this point, the participants presented the general migrants’ situation in three scales: arrival city (Barranquilla), the journey and the frontiers scales. The research is shown in 2D drawings (sections for each of the scale) and 3D model on which the main walking routes, shelter points, illegal crossings, etc. are demonstrated. Global Free Unit is an organization that is an internationally open unit for students which leads research and develops spacial solutions for social problems in the world.

there is a division in placement of each of the needed sections: the classrooms are on the first floor whereas the full-time activities are conviniently placed on the ground floor.
