This “balance” is found in the monastic lifestyle of the church, from which the University system is derived.

The diagram, like that of the student housing project, carries with it not only a sense of the materiality, Through the centre of the plan, the lightest lines indicate the public circulation route through the building, effectively tying together all of the other elements. The two appendages are outlines in a thicker pen to denote their focused nature and directed programme of gallery, library and cafe spaces. The solid black shape is thus because of the private nature of its activities. The kitchen for instance uses this space because of its proximity to the east service road. Also included in this block are the meeting rooms and archive space. The design encloses an external space in the centre which can be used as sheltered seating for the cafĂŠ space. This sheltered external space continues the motif of sheltered courtyards which occur throughout the townscape of St. Andrews. but also the level of privacy associated with each area of the plan.

A short, week-long, group project, this “Between Thinking & Making� task involved creating a standard office and gallery space with shops on the ground floor. The stipulation was that each individual group would incorporate a particular structural system to support the gallery and office levels. In the case of my group, the structure was to be two timber columns.
The
solution, seen in the drawings and render opposite, was to join the timber columns to create three
points of support instead of two and in the process, bring light down into the centre of the plan from the office spaces above.

The brief was to design a primary school to sit on the constricted car park site on the Perth Road in Dundee. The solution to this brief was to break the street faรงade and push the new buildings to the back of the site, providing the school with an ample playground. In order to ensure the yard was separated from the street, it was raised slightly above street level and could therefore be accessed from the side street.

A small group project, drawn on the opposite page, asked that we use found pieces of material and areas of the beach itself to define a place. The place selected was already partially in existence and was merely in need of being defined.
The place was a raised sand bank just off the main beach offering views of the water. The grassy nature Found timber was planted vertically in a spiral form, mimicking the grass. The heights of the timbers decreased to the east, making the place an ideal position from which to observe the sea. of the surrounding terrain was continued in the enclosing of the space which on top of the mound.
