INTERNATIONAL IMMERSIVE PROJECTS

In October and March 2022 and 2023, the university set up a three day charrette project where all years from construction based courses could attend. We learnt about biophilic design approaches, re-wilding and how to integrate it in a sustainable way.

3rd Year Immersive Project: Rewilding

For This project, the site was the HoneyBourne Line in Cheltenham and we spilt into three group to tackle either low, moderate or intense rewilding approaches. I was in the ‘Moderate’ group where we had to balance ‘wilding’ with societal use.

An image to show how the gardens of the Temple of Hatshepsut could have looked.

This drawing is my interpretation of what the temple’s gardens could have looked like in regards to the research I collated and the positioning of the drawing. There would be a lot of ‘sanctuary space’ for prayer and shade for respite.
