hello.
Design drives me. As an award winning Master’s Student specialising in Advanced Architectural Design at the University of Strathclyde, my education revolves around understanding what makes good design successful. I have a keen eye for aesthetics with a clear knowledge of form and function. I am a motivated individual who will welcome challenges and look to go beyond my maximum potential. Architecture is a team sport and I thrive in collaborative environments, eager to seize the opportunity to work alongside and engage with others. As an enthusiastic hard worker, I am always looking to push myself and professional development further. Drawing inspiration from visionary architects such as Richard Rogers, Snohetta, Bjarke Ingels Group, CAUKIN and Precht, I am captivated by their dynamic structures and innovative problemsolving approaches. They inspire me to challenge conventional norms and design with forward thinking. Whether addressing sustainability concerns or exploring social dimensions, these architects explore and continue to experiment. They are always evolving, innovating, questioning and learning. This is the type of architect I aspire to be — one who embraces continual learning and exhibits a relentless drive for innovation and invention. Intrigued by the intricate interplay between humans, culture, and the environment, I am fascinated by the art of placemaking, the development of vibrant cultural communities, and the power of adaptability to foster community resiliency, whether it be for climate or pandemics. This interest has evolved throughout my studies and a common theme within my latest projects and areas of research. Through my work, I strive to create environments that inspire a sense of belonging, nurture cultural diversity, and provide opportunities for adaptability to enable communities to flourish. Beyond architecture, I enjoy designing and creating my own clothes and textiles. Exploring the intersection of art, sculpture, and architecture, I am captivated by how good design harmonises form and function. Just as fashion artfully balances sculptural elements with practicality, I believe architecture should encapsulate this delicate equilibrium.

The catalytic healing process for post-industrial landscapes The exploitation of natural resources and heavy industry has fuelled economic growth and globalisation, with the accompanying symptoms of tarnished land. Deindustrialisation in Scotland’s Central Belt saw major resource consuming industries decline, leaving behind anthropogenic ‘eschar’ - the dead tissue of deindustrial wounds. The scars are often met with a superficial solution to conceal, using housing developments and leisure centres through 10, 20, 30 year masterplans. However, to heal the land and community, environmental stewardship must be empowered to restore and evolve a community-centric relationship with nature. Anthropogenic landscapes must grow with and respond to the changing environment and society that surrounds it, from climate change to societal disruption. Therefore this thesis, Geo-escharotomy, proposes a continuous, catalytic healing process to create responsive landscapes through a learning progression of time-based actions which heal rather than predictive, quick fix masterplans. Across the Central Belt, three industrial scars of different stages and causes have been selected to undergo the first stage of Geo-escharotomy: Ardeer Peninsula, a matured scar caused by dynamite works; Ravenscraig, a present scar caused by steelworks; and Grangemouth, the open wound of an oil refinery which will soon become a scar. A new healing team, including local experts, linguists and anthropologists will be assembled to guide the process. Each scar will be used to demonstrate different methods of anthropogenic healing, responding to the unique scar autopsies. Catalysts for environmental stewardship are seeded within the eschar to grow with the land through learning, working and living with the environment. The stewards document their incremental land interactions within the one-year process to explore their catalytic experiences and future actions. Through this oneyear process, the anthropogenic eschar becomes an asset to the community as it enables a new method of environmental stewardship and creates continuous narratives of healing which grow organically, in symbiosis with the land and community’s needs.

A guide to healing geoscars through language revitalisation Humans have impacted the planet significantly causing geological change in the micro and macro scale. This impact has been left in the form of ‘geoscars’: humankind’s fingerprint, wiping out ecosystems, left on the face of the Earth. For centuries, man’s relationship with Earth has been one of extraction – exploiting natural resources needed to fuel economic growth and urban development. Deindustialisation in Scotland’s Central Belt saw major resource consuming industries - including coal mining, shipbuilding and steel manufacturing – decline along with the economy and local communities leaving scars scattered across the country within towns and the landscape. As finite industries decline, more manufactured landscapes will become derelict, scarring communities and destroying biodiversity. At the same time, there is a loss at a much greater rate than that of biodiversity. Communities are facing a cultural scar of language loss. There are 7000 languages across the world, of which 40% are endangered. Loss of a language means loss of culture, identity, wisdom and traditional ecological knowledge. This is vital knowledge passed through generations using language which informs communities of how to care for the environment surrounding them. Land and language are one and the same. Scottish Gaelic is an endangered language that is deeply rooted in nature. Therefore, Scotland is facing two scar, two losses that are intrinsically linked. This thesis explores, through qualitative research, how land and language are connected through a Land / Lang / Scar / Heal Matrix. The research investigates how man and nature’s relationship can be strengthened as well as man and language’s relationship. A framework is developed to use both land and language as a tool for each other’s prosperity. The framework forms a system of MacroMicro interventions within Scotland to restore the lost ecosystems from industrial scars in the Central Belt through revitalizing Scottish Gaelic to connect communities back the Scottish landscape.

Welcome to Podyssey: Scotland’s first open access, post-pandemic, co-work hub. Podyssey is a response to the COVID-19 Pandemic which immensely changed the way we live and work. This state-of-the-art workplace has a post-pandemic mind by providing amenities not traditionally used to host office workers, such as a daycare and artist studios. We pride ourselves in becoming a host for the community who can use and adapt the building to their needs through a ‘plug-in’ approach, in a similar manner to computer operations. Whether you are a digital nomad or are a member of Podlife, you can connect to Podyssey and run the programmes you need whether it be office meetings, quiet workspace or to take advantage of our Open Access makerspaces and workshops. Our plug-in pods are portable for flexible working whether it is for working from home or community collaboration. The pods are constructed of frames to enable customisation to tailor to your work needs. This is a sustainable way of working as the pod can change with your business, ensuring that pods do not become redundant if they are no longer suitable – instead, they are adapted. The work node reuses the Former Scottish Ambulance Service building on Maitland Street in Glasgow. This building now acts as a host for shared facilities for the community to encourage collaborative and flexible working for a better, healthier lifestyle.

GARDEN CITY.
BSc Hons
Year 4 Semester 1 | December 2021
Reimagining Glasgow: A bio-tech city
Inspired by Ebenezer Howard’s ‘Garden City’, this project reimagines Glasgow as a Bio-tech City where citizens have embraced the growth of nature and acceleration of technology. [re] imagining the streets The re-imagining of our streets as climate corridors, full of nature and biodiversity will improve the environmental quality; reduce air pollution & noise, provide safe and secure areas, increase accessibility for all, and is essentially better use of space for the people first. Below the streets, the district heating infrastructure runs through the city gaining additional heat from larger buildings. Recycling systems work through undergrowth systems of disused railways and tunnels. [re] purposing the buildings Through re-purposing, the contribution to climate change has significantly reduced as waste is minimised from the beginning. As cars are no longer used, multi-storey car parks become redundant and can be re-purposed as vertical farms and nonpollutant based renewable energy stations with solar PVs and wind turbines. [re] using the voids The Garden City has identified and strategised the use of stalled spaces as new green zones or community gardens within the city blocks. This has fostered a greater sense of community involvement and engagement within the city whilst growing community relationships. [re] cycling the city The city functions as a circular ecosystem. Communities, businesses and the people work together to optimise all sectors from waste to production. Any new buildings feed into this circular system in order to aid other industry’s across the city. This keeps the city moving towards a net zero future.

the rising tide. De-veloped / veloping; Embracing the rising tide Awards: RIBA President’s Dissertation Medal Nomination Glasgow School of Architecture Jubilee Prize
BSc Hons
Dissertation Prize
Sea-levels are rising, fundamentally challenging human survival. Designing with the environment requires a fundamental shift towards an adaptive capacity that demonstrates increased resilience and decreased vulnerability. Current measurements of a country’s adaptive capacity are presented at national scale, focussing on all climate change impacts, but tending to overlook smaller scale competencies at a project scale. Although countries around the world face similar problems, their approaches to tackling sea-level rises, and the implementation of community mitigation measures, differ. This research recognises the need for adaptive capacity measures that focus on sea-level rise solutions while inclusively representing a variety of positive responses in both developed and developing countries. This dissertation presents a framework for ‘Adaptive Capacity Enablers for Sea-Level Rise Solutions’ as a method of assessing and enabling adaptive capacity by analysing case studies, identifying key lessons, and integrating successful strategies from developed and developing countries. The work supports a call for reciprocal knowledge exchange, recognising variability in the ability and willingness of communities to adapt and in their access to high and low-tech solutions. The argument is that sharing information between developed and developing countries will improve future project-scale strategies, strengthen community resilience, reduce vulnerability, and enhance our collective adaptive capacity.

HONBU. Scotland’s Traditional Martial Arts Headquarters Awards:
Year 3 Semester 2 | May 2020
BSc Hons
GIA Student Award 2019-20
Chaos surrounds us. Whether it is personal, local or global, our lives do not come with ease. Without chaos, order would not exist. These challenging times can be counteracted with enjoyment through performance. Martial arts is no ordinary escape from the everyday. The theory and practice of this craft does not shy away from obstacles and chaos but rather it welcomes it. Traditional martial arts achieve discipline yet address anarchy. Therefore, ‘in the midst of the chaos’ is not tranquillity for an escape but for balance. It is the art of war. Honbu is a Traditional Martial Arts Headquarters, situated in The Barras, Glasgow, Scotland. The performance space is home to all traditional forms of the art. It’s open for all to learn, practice, compete or spectate. As well as being a place for education and competition, it acts as a working museum, educating the public on the history of the craft. Honbu embraces The Barras’ strong sense of community and encourages residents of The Barras to learn new skills utilising the chaos in their lives in order to deliver purpose and balance.

Year 2 Semester 2 | May 2019
BSc Hons
GIA Commendation 2018-19
Situated in the social heart of St Andrews, the geology library reflects the spectacular coastal line of the town. With St Andrews and the region of Fife packed full of amazing geological wonders, there is no place better to study geology than surrounded by it. The geology library is sustainable and naturally constructed from rammed earth with a strategic ventilation strategy using gabion baskets. It is an all accessible library both physically and mentally, ending the stereotype of intimidatingly quiet libraries where the user feels uncomfortable. The library uses the urban grain of the town to fit into context as well as reinterpreting the façades of the streets.

The town of Culross was established due to the successful coal mining industry in the 16th century. This resulted in an active trade port, making the town what it is today. As a show of gratitude, this Roman Catholic church is devoted to the Patron Saint of coal mining, miners safety, artillery men and explosions: Saint Barbara. The design represents an explosion frozen in time. The most tranquil, calm and holy area is situated in the centre of the explosion with the fragmented walls extruding from here, controlling the shards of light and focusing attention on the main space of devotion.

textiles. Exploring tapestry illustration
I have an interest in all aspects of design and how they intersect with architecture. I particularly enjoy fashion and textile design and I am interested in the common elements and ideas that they share. I draw inspiration from Alexander McQueen and Iris Van Herpen’s sculptural textiles. The Weavers The following project explores the subculture of ‘The Weavers’ and the impact they have on the Town of Paisley. This was delivered within the Cultural Studies module in University to understand how towns and cities are influences by unique cultures of people and activities. The 3 artworks are produces in textile form to pay homage to The Weavers of Paisley who put the town on the map with the mass production of thread and Paisley Pattern shawls. A Tapestry of Terrestrial Tongue Inspired by William Morris’s narrative tapestries, the graphic tells the story of a Gaelic community, their duty to look after the land and the intertwining of language and folklore aiding their environmental stewardship. The medium of fabric represents the interwoven nature of land and languages and the graphical messaging used in traditional folklore and stories. Accompanying the illustration is a poem to fully immerse the reader in the Gaelic world and their culture of storytelling, passing knowledge through poetry and song. The poem also features in Scottish Gaelic. Commuter This textile reimagines the vibrant and busy seat covers of public transport to capture the lively scenes that commuters experience. The characters and objects featured have been inspired by my own daily commute to depict the scenography of train carriages.

Interests As a creative individual, I enjoy drawing and artistic activities. My passion for textile and fashion design fuels my desire to craft unique, personally tailored garments. Through experimentation with materials and the creation of bespoke textile prints, I continuously push the boundaries of my craft. I love learning about the craft techniques and formation of garments from great designers. This has always inspired me to make my own. Whether it be buildings or fashion, good design will always motivate and interest me, driving my passion for pushing the boundaries of creativity. I am an avid runner and love to push myself with new challenges. This motivation for sports helps keep me in top condition. Running keeps me on my toes and constantly striving for personal bests. Recently I have taken up rock climbing and enjoy practicing the technique and having the determination to solve the bouldering problems. The perseverance and determination to achieve the goals I set for myself can be applied to all areas in life whether it be sports, education or work. I am an explorer. I love to travel and immerse myself in new cultures and experiences. From experiencing African dances to snorkelling in Spain, I am always seeking adventure. I will continue my dedication, positivity and enthusiasm in all future endeavours.
