“L’ecole de construire”Final undergraduate projectUniversity of Bath, England16 week project Feb 2011-May 2011
A self-supporting graduate school of architecture for Part II
architecture students in Bath, the restrained proposal incorporates
high-quality study-bedrooms for students and tutors alike, in a
collegiate environment.
Set on a sloped site fronting on the River Avon, the scheme proposes
a reconciliation with the river by means of a public, landscaped
perennial meadow, connecting Walcot Street to a proposed
riverside walk. After the perennial meadow has established itself,
the building starts to blend in to the background, acting as a benign
backdrop to a colourful and ever-changing carpet of planting.
A development of modern Cantabrigian quads, the three-sided
courtyard opens up to Walcot Mortuary Chapel at the top of the
site, with communal programme accessible from a cloister at
ground floor level. The college’s terraced courtyard connects to
the public park underneath the building, which has been raised to
avoid flood risk.
Driven by a split-section bedroom arrangement, the living
accommodation is optimally orientated to provide all 34 study
bedrooms with a north-facing work/sleep space and a south-facing
lounge area with balcony.

Perennial meadowDeveloped from the concept of the ‘hortus botanicus’ - a courtyard exhibiting a
collection of plant species - the planted landscape incorporates a wide variety of
perennial �owering species. Initiated via a mass bulb planting in springtime, they
provide for a bright and varied summer appearance when the majority of plants will
be in �ower. A mixture of tall grasses provide the backdrop to the perennial planting,
whilst the serpentine path down the site creates multiple planting areas, producing a
woven patchwork of colour.
Wetland / shade gardenPlant varieties change towards the bottom of the site (6,7,8,9) to adjust to site-speci�c
needs and demands. Planting towards the river is gradually varied to include a
variety of wetland plants and reeds. �e ‘carpet’ of perennial planting is also
gradually varied in the shaded undercro� of the building’s footprint, using the forest
�oor as inspiration by planting a combination shade-resilient and moisture-tolerant
plant species.
Flowering cherryFlowering cherry trees provide a burst of colour in spring-time with a vibrant pink colour, providing shade and visual emphasis at the top of the site, also forming a partial bu�er between the planted landscape and road surface of Walcot Gate.
SeasonalityDesigned predominantly as a summer landscape, the majority of plants will die back in the colder months. Neverthess, by purposely leaving planting to die back on their own devices, the perennial meadow transforms in to a bleached landscape of crackling stalks and stems.

Summer appearance�e majority of perennial plants
are chosen to �ower in the
summer, creating a seasonal
blanket of colour.
Winter appearanceDying back in the winter, if the
perennials are le� to their own
devices, the winter will transform
the landscape in to a bleached sea
of plants stems and stalks, a
ghostly re�ection of their summer
appearance.

Elevation proportions and designRespecting but not simply copying traditional Georgian façade treatments,
the building’s elevations are carefully proportioned. Both north and south
elevations retain distinct characteristics due to a different number of floors.08
Lower study bedroomSitting on a single level, the lower bedroom incorporates a
generous balcony, providing both solar shading as well as
mediating between inhabited space and nature.
Upper study bedroomA split-level arrangement indicates the clear divide

Fold / Strand / NodeUniversity of Bath, England12 week project Oct 2010-Jan 2011
Group project carried out in teams with civil and environmental engineers.
Project was given runner up prize out of 35 groups in University’s Basil
Spence competition.
The design proposed a 4,000m² film institute situated on Spike Island,
a transitory locale of Bristol. Approaching film as a public art, the film
institute functions on an urban level by identifying and responding to both
commercial and community user groups.
A variety of ‘found’ objects on the site were incorporated in to the design,
acting as nodes. Three separate functional strands were then incorporated,
with different programmatic needs relating to different aspects of the city.
Generated from the utilitarian pitched roofs inherent in the industrial area,
an architecture of folding was generated to create a homogenous aesthetic.
The folded design is achieved through a steel-framed construction. Three
cinema auditoria (as nodes) act as stiff structural boxes, with the strands
being reinforcing structural infill.
Environmentally, the building utilises water from the nearby harbour
to power a heat exchange system, helping to provide heat in winter and
cooling in the summer. A Stirling Engine is also integrated in to the closed
loop system to drive mechanical ventilation system.

Embrace the OutdoorsTechnische Universität München - Prof. Richard HordenSummer Semester 2010 12 week project
Initial design (right)Design project for a collapsible membrane structure, a competition run
by MDT-Tex, a swiss designer and manufacturer of architectural shading
systems and tensile structures. The project started with an intense research
project in to form finding methods and techniques of membrane structures.
An initial design proposed an oscillating, counterweighted shade resting
on a tripod. After feedback from the head of the firm, a second idea was
developed, incorporating interlocking, collapsible rings.
‘Chanel Rings’The iconic design of the ‘Chanel Rings’ provided a simple and marketable
idea, potentially suitable for commercial clients such as the Olympics,
Chanel or Audi. Designed as a simple module, the rings can be used
individually, containing a hammock. The design studio explored joining
multiple units together, resulting in the design for an external bar / lounge.
The design studio enabled a solid understanding of designing with high
performance textiles, as well as form finding methods both through
physical modeling and computer simulations. The project also provided an
understanding of working with organic geometries through designing the
free-form furniture using T-Splines and Rhino software.
Full scale prototypes were developed during a summer placement at the
company’s design offices in Switzerland, where it is in the process of being
refined for manufacturing and future commercial use.

Joint studio with Prof. Richard Horden (Lehrstuhl für Gebäudelehre und Produktentwicklung) / Prof. Fritz Frenkler (Lehrstuhl für Industrial Design) / Prof. Gerhard Hausladen (ClimaDesign / Lehrstuhl für Bauklimatik und Haustechnik).
Design for a new international airport in Manta, Ecuador. Currently the largest tuna fishing port in Latin America, the government are proposing the expansion of the existing military airstrip to expand the city’s industry to incorporate tourism as an international hub.
Responding to its sloped, oceanside location, the design proposes a new public corniche to maximise use of the beach and promoting tourism. A linear arrangement divides the terminal, separating both national and international flights whilst maximising ocean frontage.
The undulating, aerofoil roof unifies the terminal, providing an instantly recognisable form both from land and air. Supported independently via a diagrid structure, the roof channels water to reuse as well as drawing in the cool sea breeze to aid ventilation.
026
SectionsVital in designing the airport was the separation of people flows - secure / non-secure,
departing / arriving passengers, national / international and also baggage flows. People
are coloured differently in sections to help distinguish the landside and airside divide. 027
Environmental StrategyTaking inspiration from a banana plant, the airport develop’s the leaf ’s diagrid structure is replicated
and developed in glu-laminated timber to create a sweeping roof form. This also informs the
rainwater strategy which is affected heavily by seasonal storms.
Alternating tree-like columns support the roof and function both as a means of distributing fresh
air as well as channelling rainwater to be recycled. An angled glass facade across the beachfront
allows for uninterrupted views and prevents internal glare. Seemingly random openings in the
roof allow light in where functionally required with built in louvres to provide solar shading. The
terminal’s oceanside location utilises sea water to provide power via turbines as well as host an
oyster farm.

Corporate DesignWorking with the Lehrstuhl für Industrial Design, a corporate design
strategy was conceived, taking inspiration from the vibrant colours found
throughout traditional Ecuadorian crafts and culture, informing a bold
8-colour palette. This was developed to inform a logo, advertising imagery,
furniture design and even a unique set of pictograms.
As the first and last impression people have of a country, the concept aims to
instill a lasting image of Ecuador’s rich and vibrant culture.

Designed by distinguished post-war architect Hans Döllgast, a redundant
electrical substation sits in the corner of Munich’s museum quarter. The short
design, with the chair of historical restoration, aimed to restore and convert the
brick building for future use.
The proposal sees the structure retained and refurbished, for use as a small café,
incorporating billboards for advertising museum exhibitions. Original brick
features are kept as a feature whilst the majority of the building is clad in copper
strips. Whilst providing a dull reflection of the surrounding parkscape, the new
skin provides a subtle reminder of the building’s electrical heritage.

Design for a temporary, floating apartment in Venice for the 2010 Biennale. Cedric Price
was chosen as the intended occupant from a list of distinguished artists and architects. The
proposed apartment for Price takes the form of an unusual floating memorial / installation,
with symbolic elements of Price’s life held within.
For such a illustrious educator, relatively little is known of Price. A simple Google search reveals
just six images of him, along with a brief Wikipedia entry. These iconic images are digitised and
perforated to form six sides of a floating timber and perspex cube. The mysterious object would
float aimlessly around Venice’s canals for the duration of the Biennale, a peculiar yet intriguing
sight to tourists and residents alike.
At the end of the Biennale, a timing device would detonate explosives in a grand spectacle,
before slowly rotting away at the bottom of the Grand Canal. This would create a lasting
impression in people’s minds of the man who had such a great influence on the profession, yet
many do not realise.
