he project is a whisky distillery bridge deep in the Scottish Highlands serving as a hiking trail connection between two small communities. My site is in between two small villages of Inchrory and Tomintoul. These villages in the past wouldhave had a brewer - most likely a local farmer - who would provide the spirit we now know as Scotch Whisky to the community. The community would bond and gather over this strong drink to get through cold harsh winters and keep spirits high. My project attempts to build a bridge between the two communities, physical and social, by linking up existing hiking trails on either side of the gorge, building a direct and swift route between both villages. The primary function of the building is a bridge (physical connections), whilst the secondary function is a brewery and meeting place (social connection). The substantial size of the gorge (60m) provided a challenge for constructing the bridge (75m); the shape of the bridge is determined by the swing method, which involves constructing the bridge on one side, rotating it around a pivot point and finally locking it into place at the opposite end.

he focus of this year’s work is the awareness that architecture can affect at deepest systemic leveland the understanding that architectural proposition is in itself a system of interrelated constituentswhere the findings of interdisciplinary systems theory apply. This knowledge opens a way to a method-driven approach that can materialize in architecture of great performance and considered expression while driving architectural authorship and novelty. We will aspire to reinstate the designer’s engagement with all aspects of the system’s constituents aiming for impactful architecture delivered by the negotiation of the interacting entities that define the unified spatial whole. Societal, technological, cultural, economic as well as political developments will propel our investigations with a deep understanding of how they interlink. This will shape our strategies and heuristics, driving synthesis. The observation as well as re-examination of civilizatory developments will enable us to project near-future scenarios and position ourselves as avant-garde in the process of designing a comprehensive vision for the forthcoming. We will find out about how human endeavour, deep desire and visionary thought interrelate while they advance cultural as well as technological means, driving civilisation as highly developed organisation. Futurist speculation inspires and ultimately brings about significant change. Supported by competent research we will aim for systemic impact and amplify found nuclei into imaginative tales with architectural visions fuelled by speculation. Our methodology employs both bottom up and top down strategies in order to build up sophisticated architectural systems and will be tailored to the individual problem. Pivotal to this process and to fight charlatanism is the concept of practical experimentation – and intense exploration through both digital and physical models that aims to assess system performance and its direct application to architectural space. The emphasis on applied research fuels the process of design and allows us to develop highly considered architectural propositions with great momentum.
