Reclaiming the pedestrian street in Somers Town, Kings Cross was a project commissioned by the Somers Town History Club in collaboration with Camden Council. The resident artist worked with Public Studio to generate functional, fruitful spaces and art along Chalton Street. During this planning application, I held half-term workshops with three local schools in the Story Garden @ MAKE to co-create design ideas for a parklet that has been built and nestled at the junction of Charlton St and Pheinux Rd.

‘Spaces for Black-Queer Lives’ is an instrumental work completed over a 6-month thesis project at Central Saint Martins. The project grounds my practice in architecture through queer theory, empowering minorty communities to claim space in the city whilst championing solidarity and building manifestos for resistance. By expanding the scope of social infrastructure in the city, my thesis creates a brief hrough a series of collective workshops with art institutions and LGBTQ+ charities to design an inclusive and welcoming blackowned LGBTQ+ arts centre in Southwark that address the diverse needs and aspirations of the community.

PART II

CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS Manifesto for Resistance Workshop

s p a t i a l

l a y o u t

The immersive experience through the queer lense is split into two zones, the sexualised and the political. The resistive props are then categorized into the three foundations of experiencing queer space: -

ransparency translucency opaqueness

Resistive Props: R1 R2 R3 R4

Viewing Tunnels Permanent Structures Platforming Identities Hidden Moments

symposium

The production of space has been a fundamental methodology within my work, actively engaging users in immersive settings to understand project proposals and briefs. The participatory workshops shown above address an anarchist approach to the city, highlighting a vital need for reflection on the global attack on minority communities and how political spaces in the city play a role. Whilst facilitating these workshops at Central Saint Martins, I encouraged participants to critically think, perform and design spaces that break free from these oppressive systems to reconstruct future imaginaries through collective manifestos.

PART II

MATERIAL CULTURES Clearfell House

*Brimstone cladding assembled onsite

Dalby Forest Visitor Centre worked closely with Material Cultures to commission an outdoor hybrid classroom. The prefabrication of the building took place at CSM as a MA Architecture: Live Project, to deliver three cassette types for the floor, wall and roof. My responsibilities within the cohort of thirty involved leading the construction of the wall cassettes. The shop-floor detail drawings I produced were used in the workshop and liaised with the project engineer. The cassettes were built in five weeks and transported to Dalby for assembly in October 2022. A research document has been produced by my team (consisting of three students) to support the development of using the forest as a resource for materiality and pedagogy.

PART I

UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD Home-Grown Estates

site The community lead project was developed to help aid Sheffield’s high population of refugees. My brief builds upon the weekend market, fruitful with different cultures in Burngreave, by containing a new autonomous communal resource. The food will be grown by each housing unit with hydroponic systems and self-gardening roofs, this will then be harvested and sold in the stalls on the market. Empowering the citizens of this home-grown estate to activate the residential street through shared food and culture.

PART I

UNIVERSITY OF SHEFFIELD Taking the Waters

FlowRider Machine

The Scarborough Surf Centre project conceptualises the notion of contemporary pools and their relationship with architecture. The surfing program offers Scarborough’s community the opportunity to celebrate the culture on a broader platform. My proposal has the aspirations of sculpting and carving heavymass concrete with the softness of water to form a series of connected voids for circulation and moments of stillness in space.

PART I - Practical Experience

WOODS BAGOT

Project Partington - Sofia Airport

TERMINAL PASSAGE

Working on the Terminal 3 Sofia Airport project I explored the character of Sofia and the essential motifs that define its character to create a vision for the expansion of the East wing terminal. Working closesly with my mentor I aided in the internal fit-out of the airport focusing on the commuters experience throughout the design and enhancing the circulation flow between duty-free and terminal gates. My skill set involved drawing plans on AutoCAD, modelling fragments of the airport on Rhino and rendering for tender packages on Photoshop.

Project Antognolla Resort took me through the RIBA stages 0-3 as an additional development to the Antognolla Castle project that saw the restoration of a medieval castle nestled in the green hills of Italy. I worked within a team to design two APETS (luxury villas) that sensitively carve into the natural landscape, integrating new material palettes that compliment the original historic architecture of the castle. My roles involved site massing and masterplanning on Rhino (stages 1-2) and producing elevation renders on Photoshop for tender packages (Stage 3).

PART I - Practical Experience

WOODS BAGOT St Mary’s Calne School

I had a significant impact in the Education sector at ‘Woods Bagot’, particularly working closely with my mentor in the delivery of a new library for a girls boarding school at the heart of St. Mary’s Calne School. On this project I familiarised myself with the Building Regulations and Standard Specification for modular classroom layouts, as well as developing the weaving relationship between landscaping and internal spaces. My roles included developing Stage 3 CAD plans into Adobe Illustrator for specific classroom layout studies, whilst producing massing renders for tender packages.

QUEER IMAGINARIES

london / londra series

queercircle

The collaborative workshop, Trans-ing the Built Environment, addressed the visualisation of queer spaces in the city through the de-construction and re-construction of future imaginaries. I curated the programming of this event at Queercircle (hosted by LONDON/LONDRA) to diversify the public realm and provide a platform for marginalised communities. The driving objective for the development of the workshop was the aspiration to diversify architectural representation crafted by individuals who have been displaced due to inadequate design. Participants critically contemplated how art and architecture could influence cultural spaces facing jeopardy in the city.

FREELANCE

STUDIO_CAAC P/A Streatham, Lambeth

The site is located to the rear of No’s 27-29 Mount Ephraim Road, though it is within the existing plot curtilage of No.27. The existing garage is of poor quality and made from block work and the character of the area is distinct and characterised by rows of terrace housing with limited development in rear gardens. The client commissioned a design proposal for a planning application regarding a conversion and extension of the garage to provide a two storey dwellinghouse.
