VICTORIAS INTERLINKING BRIDGE Systems and Performance
The objective of this project was to design a skin like apparatus that would attach to an existing bridge, that was an entrance to Hackney Wick ‘fish island’. Furthermore the brief required us to introduce a new element that would allow the bridge to become something other then just an transitional structure.
The main patchwork of hackney wick ‘Fish Island’ is composed by a variety of elements ranging from dense housing, Working factories, Warehouses, different specialist trades and variety of small sole traders. However the most popular of all are which seem to be growing trend are artists and artistic performance that thrive around the island. Victoria Park known colloquially as Vicky Park or the People’s Park. The size of the park is 86.18 hectares of open space, that stretches out across part of the East End of London bordering parts of Bethnal Green, Hackney, Bow and Old Ford Road. The park is entirely within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is also used as a concert venue and hosts many festivals each year and extreme sports events.

The A12 walk bridge is located east of Victoria Park and south of Hackney Wick Island. The bridge provides pedestrian and cycle access between the park and the island. At this current time the bridge stands as one of the main public transition points on the east side of Hackney Wick.

Victorias Interlinking Bridge Olympic Legacy
The A12 Walk bridge is the only form of transition that really connects the two islands together (Hackney Wick island and Victoria park). I wanted to design a architectural skin that can provide functions when crossing the bridge, by creating a facade that allows personal interaction.
Prototype 04 Draft model demonstrating a section of the final propsal. The image from above and to the left shows seating, table and canvas roof in full action.
Therefor the proposal is to introduce a system that can be used and manipulated by the public when crossing the bridge. The design will accommodate seating, tables and a lightweight shelter that can be used on demand. The new facade will be created by a linear track system that will use wheels and pulleys
that are permanently locked inbetween two tracks. When the seating is needed for example. One can pull the surfaces towards them by applying pressure to the middle panel. This will then un fold into a locked position that will be governed by its restricted movement that is incorporated in to the design.

The joint which is attached to the steal bracket
By pulling the middle panels, the surface unfolds to form a seat or table. The top and lower panels are fixed to wheels on opposing sides. This allows them to move between the tracks freely. When finished with the apparatus the panel can be pushed back to its natural repose

WABA Womens Ameture Boxing Assosication
WABA is a political driven project, which celebrates the start of making female boxing an official event for future Olympics. The history of female boxing has been considered to be unacceptable, disturbing for viewers and most of all a preconception of how a female should not act.
Hand Made model of the proposal utilising the above air space of girls school
In London 2012 games Female Boxing finally deserved there long awaited battle to make there mark in the sport that is solely dominated by males. London games hosted three different weight categories for female Boxing. Although this was an start to a new error. Female Olympians felt there was still discrimination towards them. Especially when compared to the males whom were celebrated. Broadcasting statics say female boxers had less then one quarter of live news coverage and general paper publicise.
Olympic Legacy Barbican development Central London United Kingdom
With the concept I propose is to create a monumental building that will be the first piece of architectural gift to mark the celerbration of female Boxing. The finest level of female competitors will generate recognition through there high level of sportsmanship. The building will occupy the roof space above the well established ‘City of London School for Girls’ located in the center of the Barbican developemnt in central Lodon. Programs that will host monthly competitions that will encourage the audience to take up the sport that is equall to both genders. Participants will be able to use this inspiring facility shared by the some of the best female athletes across the world.

Level 7 hosts the main events and can accommodate 30/40 spectators whom will be seated on the amphitheatre inspired seating. Sharing the same level you will also find 1 bedroom apartments for visiting guess athletes and a out door training track. Floor 8 is no doubt the more active of all floors. On this level you will find the lower floor for coaches accommodation, this allows a more productive access to the public gymnasium. There will also be the competitors shared accommodation, which leads down to the main event ring.

Re Inhabiting Post Olympic Venues
Having just hosted the 2012 London Olympics, Our 3rd year consisted a theme of post Olympic plans, for further use and events that will commemorate the games by introducing future plans. This year we went to Athens where the birth of Olympic games first started. Our site given was located in Athens central district of Pangrati just East of the Panathenaic Stadium, where the 1896 Olympic was hosted and is still now one of the oldest stadium in use.
Proposed Site
The site it is surrounded by 3 story aparments, dense housing and serveral small local bussinesses scattered among the spare buildings.

The vision I propose will hopefully be a start of generation where local ambitious talents can access the neglected Olympic sites, hosting there own rehearsed shows. The project research was based on how to re use post Olympic venues that were left un occupied since the Athens games. Following my research I was induced by the struggling people whom had talent. But were only able to share there work amongst there close audience. Due to the current democracy it has harshly effected peoples ambitions. After continuous speculation I was immediately drawn to events that were created by the community. I was very interested in grass route events that were organised by the locals. My hope is to design a signiture building that will as one of many bespoke programs that will host the entire process of making certain events.
Main Stadium
Art of Lyrics is a initmately designed concept which caters for the entire music making process that will work alongside event planners whom will organise events to occur.

SITE
MIX USE
In the early stages I envisaged the interior to be a combination of volumes that will connect to each other in order to keep a constant connection between all disciplines
The design stages started by calculating the individual volumes that were needed for different programs, These spaces were then re arranged in formation that will make the building programmatically work more efficiently.

East Elevation The orientation of East elevation was primarily governed by the solar path. I designed the middle section (Office) so that it would have views of the Panathenaic stadium, this move was to create inspiring views, as this was the section of the building which will be occupied the most.
In the design process a repetition of sketching, modelling and analysing was repeated over and over again until I came to result where I felt it was the right moment to develop this iteration in which I had felt so passionate about.
On the follow two sections of building you will find solar shields to prevent heavy rays. But also allow using members to have the clear view of its natural surroundings.

Geometrical sculptures Experimenting with forms
These sculptures were purely for experimental use. I was inspired by scripting programmes like structure synth, whom had given me the idea to create a physically object that I could potentially manipulate and explore its properties physically for future designs. The object was made out of white card, I had folded, cut, deformed, repeat and glued. It was never about finding the right object or formation. Maker
