Personal Statement: The following pages represent my exploration into the world of Architecture over the last three years. My journey has brought me to understand that above the functional necessity of sound construction principles, Architecture must also be an ethical pursuit. Today as all the resources and energy buildings demand, and the social and environmental impact it has on our communities, are completely quantiďŹ able, the role of the Architect as steward of our biosphere is all the more poignant in the 21st century. I hope that my continued exploration of the Architect as a restorative agent in this world, will contribute positively to the profession and the communities in which they serve.

With the implementation of recent government legislation, in the form of the Localism Bill, more power has been given to local people to employ alternate methodologies to invigorate and strengthen the city's resilience in this economic time of uncertainty. As a result of this, REAL Sanctuaries (Relaxation, Exercise, Acceptance and Learning) was born, a community initiative lead by Giving Trees, a charity dedicated to the enhancement of community well being.

PERMEABLE THRESHOLDS
The project narrative was developed from a children始s narrative by Sheldon Allan "Shel" Silverstein which challenges how we give and take in our relationships. The architecture attempts in part to create a procession through vertical and horizontal planes, through light and dark space, creating moments for contemplation within the flow of the city.

Project synopsis
PLANT ELECTRIC RESEARCH
CHICKEN COUP SOLAR FIELD
PLACE St. Blazey has a rich industrial heritage, leaving its people with a strong sense of belonging. In recent years, since the decline of the china clay industry, a common employment connection between the community has begun to disperse the communities spirit. St. Blazey has also grown up on the natural flood plain, meaning that with increased severe weather due to climate change, flooding serves to jeopardise the communities future further. AUTARKY The project is designed to be a catalyst, to propel the town to a more self sufficient and resilient community. This is to be achieved through engaging people on a social and recreation level how the people of St. Blazey can be more self sufficient. The center will act as a datum to co-ordiate efforts to teach and train local people to be more aware of their ability to grow their our food, produce their own energy and utilize the water and resources of the area. EXCHANGE The building itself would be constructed by local people, setting a precedent for the rest of Cornwall. The unemployed would be trained in innovative sustainable building techniques prior to its construction. After its completion, on going training in traditional and modern building methods will be taught there, with the aim of invigorating new employment opportunities. The effort would rely strongly on the Eden Projectʼs agenda as an education charity and the Sustainable Building Trust initiative, which are located in the Parish.

ANALYSIS - WORKING PROCCESS
The starting point was the end of the ďŹ rst terms project, were I had developed a strategy for an archive and exhibition space, which recorded sustainable projects in the community, facilitated by an group called SECAS. A large scale model of the site was used to test massing and connectivity to the site context. I then drew over the photos to help analyse them in more detail.

BIM AND RAPID PROTOTYPING BIM process models Quite early on I decided to test various layouts, of the required spacial requirements, using Revit. This was partly under a desire to learn a BIM software program. In some ways, as in learning any new software, It may have restricted a more loose approach to developing a project, but it also forced me to think about the materials it would be constructed from very early on, and enabled me to quickly assess light conditions and circulation issues. The design went through numerous formal, structural and material considerations, and at each major design decision I archived the progress. Another tool I used was 3D printing, mixing a relatively new design technology with the raw clay waste of the area, was in some way a reection of an ambition to use local material but in innovative ways.

ANALYSIS - participatory design NGE
The Project was strongly defined by a design process directly linked with engaging the community.
Since the Governments introduction of the Localism bill: Neighbourhood plans, St. Blazey have begun to formulate a town plan. Within this context the local parish council have accosted the help of The Eden Project and Locality to lead the consultation/ participation of the community. This has led to a number of occasions for our unit to meet and dialogue with real clients(the community).

Engaging the community With high levels of unemployment, due to the decline of the china clay industry, it was important for me to consider how this development could engage those seeking new employment opportunities to learn new skills. With this in mind I organised a workshop for local people in timbrel vaulting. I imagined that this workshop and others like it would become integral to the long term viability of this project. These training course could be linked in with the education arm of the Eden Project and the Sustainable Building Trust to deliver world class education in sustainable development and potentially creating the chance for new businesses in sustainable construction to emerge from this projects realization. The vault workshop was conducted over a weekend, and was supported by local business and local people. This workshop embodied the core goal of my proposal, to oer the community a chance to join in with the development of their built environment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvEghskGUJE

SOLID GRANITE
As part of the proposition was to train local people prior to its construction, possibly in stages, I wanted to pick a rich pallete of materials, breaking them in three categories of MUD, STICK & STONE. Each one having its distinct textural, olfactory and acoustic qualities. Each material could be explored as individual courses buy future trainees, and the building would become an eclectic exploration of the senses as part of the training.
Each of these materials were dictated by their local availability, their potential to bring people together through their labour intensive construction processes, giving the opportunity for the community to join in and invest in the building. My thoughts were that each completed part of the building could become a ceremonial occasion for the community.

This time line gives a avour of the potential projects, businesses and events that could take place over the years as a result of the project foundation vision being grasped and run with. It shows the impacts on the communities sense of well-being and fulďŹ lment, the reduction of environmental impact and the growth of the local economy whilst the dependancy on a monetary system for the provision of human needs decreases.
BLAZE SPORTS SPOR

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE-PURL DESIGN LLP
A key concept of the design process was the idea of gaining 驶momentum始. It is hoped that the provision of a new sports facility, would not only act to increase the participation in sports within the town, but through links with existing sports clubs in the area. With the support of the YMCA, the hub could also act as a catalyst to raise the standard of the competitive sports in the area by providing much needed indoor training facilities for local athletes.
The design concept and logo was inspired by this chronophotograph "The Human Body in Action," by Etienne Marey.

HOMEMADE FINISHES INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION
MAKING THE MOST OF THE ROOF SPACE
The building will utilize both photovoltaic panels and solar thermal panels to meet electricity and hot water demands. It is also embellished with a green roof to encourage biodiversity and slow the rate of surface water run off.
The construction of the facility itself is intended to present a number of opportunities for the community to partake in ʻclothingʼ the building. LOCAL LARCH CHARRING The timber cladding is proposed to be made from strips from larch trees, currently being felled from Prideaux wood, then charred to weatherproof it ecologically. With the addition of glazed areas behind the timber, the building will emit a soft glow in the evening to beckon people in.
CHINA CLAY BRICK MAKING This part of building could be formed through a series of workshops call ʻBring back the Brickʼ hosted by local crafts people, in memory of the once produced china clay brick at Par. local clay would be sourced to produce the bricks using an ʻopen sourceʼ CINVA block press, then fired in a temporary kiln on site. These homemade bricks would then be arranged on panels, then fixed to the structure to create an undulating ʻskinʼ for the building.
CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER Utilizing cross laminated panels and glue laminated beams, the building structure will be manufactured off site, with absolute precision, then assembled on site like a giant puzzle. The panels and beams will be made from timber sourced from sustainably locally managed woodlands.
WATER-WISE
FLOOD STORAGE AND WILDLIFE Located on the Flood plain, the architecture will showcase innovative flood resilient construction. Elevated on stilts, the building will rise above the predicted flood levels and allow water to be stored underneath giving extra capacity during times of flooding. In welcoming the water onto the site, wetland habitats would be created helping local wildlife thrive and connecting the building with the natural landscape. Rainwater harvesting would also be integrated to flush the toilets. The sports hub could also potentially become a refuge center to help displaced residence during times of extreme flooding, and help facilitate recovery operations.

VISITORS GATEWAY & KNOWLEDGE HUB
A new visitor gateway and knowledge hub will aim to raise awareness of the spectacular gardens at Pinetum Park by building new facilities that will enable the increase of activities throughout the day. By providing a unique architectural venue for events and celebrations in the evenings, the new hub will provide greater employment opportunities for local people, contributing to the economic growth of the area and strengthening the Cornwall’s sustainable tourism industry. The new building will utilize onsite materials for constructing the main elements of the building, to minimize the carbon output during the building phase and as an opportunity to train local people in new vernacular construction techniques.
