Bristol Youth and Dance centre. Location: Bristol, UK My final year project was inspired by my passion for dance and how the body, through movement, interacts with the space. The programme of the project focused not only on the physical aspects of dance, as a profession or means of exercise, but also on the emotional impact it can have on an individual. The proposal housed multiple dance studios, a centre for a Youth Support organisation and short term accommodation. The accommodation worked together with the other programmes to provided short term living for vulnerable young people; as well as being a source of income for the centre.

Exhibition Centre. Location: Bristol, UK The brief challenged our design abilities with a mixed programme and various spacial requirements. Furthermore, it extended our creativity when finding structural solutions that were not only practical but also visually appealing. The group’s proposal focused principally on the concept of future generations coexisting with nature, thus, incorporating design elements that will alter over the course of time: without human intervention. This co-habitation of wildlife, greenery and man was a primary objective for the group; especially considering prevailing global environmental issues.

Library with a Family Planning Clinic. Location: Venice, Italy The core focus of this project was the idea of family and the passage of time; the design explored how people structure their lives and what they leave behind for future generations. Following from the brief, I looked at how to preserve the knowledge of generations passed and aid the life of the city through its inhabitants. The programme included spaces that celebrate Venetian history, with an emphasis on the canal network and gondolas, and the people who are fighting to preserve the values of Venetian life. Furthermore, it focused on encouraging and preserving family life in Venice, with a space for family planning and counselling, and family apartments.

FROZEN IN MOTION Independent project. Collection of photographs and acrylic sculpture.
Frozen Childhood.
The project showcases how different photography techniques can be utilised to capture and portray motion in a single shot. Ranging from the chaotic blur of city life in action to the more serene and defined everyday existence. The acrylic sculpture is a response to the images of blurred movement. It intends to abstractly explore urban streetscapes and the ‘invisible’ routine movements that are captured as mere faint blurs on camera; with elements, like static buildings, becoming more recognisable.
