Community Rowing Centre (Master project) The aim of the project is to promote water sports through active engagement of different age groups of Deptford Community. The key design methodology is the site programming. This will be achieved through interactive landscape. The landscape elements will promote water sports to different age groups through different level of participation. To connect Olympia Shed (Rowing Centre) to the river, the boat canal will be created. It will allow easy transport of the boats to the river. To create relationship between canal, water and landscape the canal will be grated, naturally forming terraced landscape. This will be engaging area for the teenagers where they can relax and observe people who are rowing on the canal. Furthermore Olympia Shed will be place providing all necessary facilities for water sports, such as: boats storage, gym, ergometer room, changing rooms. Rowing tank located close to Olympia Shed will spot on facility to newcomers allows basic techniques to be taught in a safe environment.

Revealing Landscape (The Professional and Technical Practice -1st semester)

The large, empty lit industrial site was to be made accessible and greened with a variety of climbing plants. The result of the design is versatile, urban and open space. Designed delicate steel construction is based on postindustrial projects. The result of the proposal will be great atmospheric density design. Footbridges and steel staircases cross through the double-layered voluminous facade will be leading people to the roof garden. The resulting of the steel structure is to bring back industrial identity of the site, as well as offering a new spatial experience of the surrounding area. Viewing platforms will provide spectacular views to the River Thames and Canary Wharf. Steel ropes for climbing plants (hops) in stalactite forms will be located at ground level, while climbers will proliferate along the steel structure to cover the whole height over time.
