BACHELOR DEGREE
SELECTED WORKS 2009-2012
SPACE OF CONTEMPLATION
The first oficial university 1st year project which task was to create a temporary space or pavillion which would explore form and materiality in order to create an exciting as well as peaceful space for the visitors to contemplate. A radical shape formed by exposed timber panels has a glazed opening which draws the attention through its focused daylight source in order to create the required atmosphere Visitors can take a seat in hanged fabric chairs that allow slight movement inside the tall space reinforcing the experience of contemplation and relaxation within the space.
Matter Reality was an in-school design competition which involved the exploration of materials, design and design realization for a full scale temporary instalation. Divided in small groups, we were assigned a material which we should use both for the architectural elements as well as the joinery that would hold it together. Our timber group has won the competition with this clever proposal where rectangular frames where joined with broomsticks and gave this twisting effect by rotating each layer in a specific angle. Made by used chipwood boards, the waste was reduced to minimum and the transportation to the site was easy as th shape only required straight cut boards. Each person was assigned a part in the construction and fabrication process making it easy to assemble in a time of 2 hours for the day of the competition.
MATTER REALITY
GROUP PROJECT
PROSTHETICS & ORTHOTICS This project’s aim was to design a university clinic and research center with a focus in treating and developing prosthetics and orthotics. Some main considerations that were taken into account are the ease of accesibility of the clinic which is placed on the ground floor, as well as the connection between spaces of the laboratories and the research facilities. Double height spaces with glazed walls make the working environment for researches interesting while the architecture is inspired by the surrounding more traditional buildings with todays contemporary standards and finishes. The clinic has a more “solid” and enclosed character as various patients when suffer by such delicate matters need more privacy whether the research center is more light and open to the public in order to break this tamboo and show people new advanced and more sophisticated designs for prosthetic and orthotic solutions.
UNIVERSITY RESEARCH CENTER
U-BOAT
MUSEUM OF ARTIFACT
The U boat museum has a purpose to demonstrate to the public the German WWII subramirine and its artifacts located in Birkenhead - Liverpool. The design proposes a floating structure sitting behind the submarine to allow it sit on the sea front as a scultpural monument. Along with a bridge which connects the waterfront promenade, the public can enjoy as part of the museum imagery and film clips related to the submarine while below the platform a showcase of the artefact is taking place along with its cafe. The advantages of this solution is that it sits discreetly in a mostly residential area while it adjusts to the river tides with its floating configuration.
LATENT DYNAMO NEW MILLS SCHOOL OF LUTHIERS
The final Bachelor degree project aimed in developing a scheme to re-introduce a local industry to New Mills which was famous for its printing industry during the industrial revolution. Surrounded by country side and bounded by the deep gorge New Mills has a traditional local character where the project should promote it.
The introduction of a school that prepares qualified luthiers as well as local violins would give a good promotion of culture and local branding to the town.
The design proposal takes influences of local architecture while being sensitive to its character as well as its relation to the dramatic landscape.
