Ceyda Acar Blending Old with New

01

I am interested in seeing old buildings renovated in a modern way, whilst keeping their historical appearance.

I wanted to explore historical sites in London that are forgotten by the local residents. While causing no harm to the old brick structure in Barber Surgeons’ Garden, my aim was to bring a modern design and functionality by using a contrasting, transparent material: glass.

Yassine Al-Shekhly Wesley

02

This model shows an indoor installation. Chaos is a frame.

The space becomes a picture.

Dissociation is the intended byproduct of the scene. It is the site context. The installation is intended to force hyper-awareness of the space and oneself on the person experiencing it.

Asli Arutan Re-create the Town

03

This project proposes re-imagining Ridley Road Market’s existing structures as modern, multifunctional forms. Key to my understanding of the site, in Hackney, London, was approaching its pros and cons as factors to be re-created and redesigned.

Marianna Bak Sense of Place

05

The project explores sense of place and belonging. From my perspective as a third-generation Polish immigrant, I traced my family’s past experiences and the journeys made across three generations. A proposed new museum, on the site of the Checkendon Resettlement Camp, where my grandparents were relocated after WWII, tells the story of these journeys. The building’s structure evokes the curved form of the Nissen huts that were used for housing, three of which remain on the site and are incorporated in the proposal.

Tallulah Bannerman Built from Memory

06

How does memory inform our use of space? My design for an events space aims to bring people together in an unconventional setting and make the most of a disused space, a community space for all. The collection of items gives memory a physical presence. Personal stories are preserved in time and the built fabric itself. Shadows cast by these objects will imbue interactions within the space with a sense of shared memory and continuity.

Monika Buranasetkul Purifying City

09

Pollution has become one of the major issues over the years as it contaminates the environment and affects human health. In this project I intended to create a prototype green space for use in cities worldwide.

Bruce Chuang Flow

11

I have designed a new King’s Cross office building that incorporates the ‘flow’ of people’s movement. The office includes a garden space on top, which is open to the public. This gives back to the community, since it is built on a park. The middle part of the building acts as a leisure space, where workers can relax. It also acts as space where people can hold parties and events, or small meetings.

Creating this organic space allows people to be more relaxed, access nature, and increases connectivity and efficiency between people.

Ruslan Delion Divide and Unite

12

For this project I wanted to focus my attention on the interaction between the users within a space. I was particularly interested in working on visual illusions or actions that users would enable by moving within the space. My project is set in Archway and addresses how space can be modulated in a way that circulation gets smoother for each user.

Carlyn Edenne Androgynous Space

13

This project interprets Androgyny in three-dimensional geometry. I think we are influenced by certain formal typologies relating to Gender. For instance, in the cosmetic industry, a round shape is often associated with Women and a rectangular one with Men. I wanted to combine these. My proposal is a cultural centre. I think that the association of culture, work and social life is key to balance.

Yueying Zoe Hao Sounding Space

15

My aim is to explore the acoustic property of space. I am creating a sounding space that consists of five sections. I’m trying to make each space provide a unique interaction between space and sound. This is an exploration of how a space can highlight collaboration between architecture and human senses.

Ziyun He Scent and Space

16

In my project, I want to explore and interpret a space from the perspective of smell and create a space matching with smell. I am curious about how different scents make people think of different spaces or scenes. In my proposal I use three kinds of scents, and guide people to feel the texture of materials and the diffusion of smell in the space, to explore the concept that smell can shape the space.

Charlie Healey Bridging a Community

17

In this project I wanted to improve on a design of a bridge in my local town of Marlow, Buckinghamshire.

Although the bridge is loved in the town, it is impractical: it causes traffic build-up because it is too narrow; it is poorly lit at night; it has narrow footpaths. With my design I wanted to address these issues to create a communal space that everyone from the town can enjoy.

Annaka Hoelk Church of No Religion

18

The focus of this project was to create a secular space for reflection and peace, while drawing inspiration from the principles of religious and spiritual architecture. Situated near St Paul’s cathedral, an area frequented by working professionals and tourists alike, this space would provide a corner of quietude in an otherwise bustling city. With a main building material of concrete, the intimately proportioned space would be lit only with natural light and would dampen the sound of its surroundings, providing the ideal setting for selfreflection and respite.

Emi Rosalina Kubota A Space of Contemplation

19

A space for visitors to slow down and to reflect at CSM’s King’s Cross campus. The project explores how an aesthetic inspired by blurring, and the concept of void, can be applied in designing a space for people to feel comfortable and calm. My aim is that this project helps young people to remind themselves to be present and to be in the moment.

Satvi Kumar Escaping Isolation through Reconnection

20

This project aims to provide personal space within a public environment. It is essentially a harbour like structure that is shaped like angular ripples that can be seen from a bird’s eye view. There are multi-level pontoons nestled within these ripples that have mini pools and hammock sections, along with other basic amenities. The two levels also come together to form an angular ripple, as seen through an aerial view. This structure is proposed to be built at the Ruislip Lido Beach, which is a popular public destination and quite unique in a city like London.

Zara Lane Psychology and Architecture

21

I am exploring how design can positively influence the mental well being of a person, specifically through the impact of domestic architecture. I have proposed a house which employs the use of specific architectural features such as curved walls, dappled lighting, natural materials and an interconnected relationship between house and garden, all of which have been proven to have a positive effect on mental well being.

King Hang Leung Infill Co-living

24

Increasing populations in cities like Hong Kong and London mean insufficient housing is a serious problem. In this project, I am trying to provide a new living style, Infill Co-Living. It aims to provide opportunities for various lifestyle activities by sharing and increasing neighbourhood relationships. The architectural forms are intended to encourage people to interact with others within the space.

Emily Linford Blast from the Past

26

We take too many things too seriously, and I have had enough of it.

I want to bring a part of the carefree nature of childhood into adulthood.

I want to create a space in which adults can play. I am particularly interested in the way children move through space, compared to the monotonous way adults do.

Zainuo Jason Liu Joints with Atmosphere

27

This project proposes a new type of structure that can be assembled and disassembled easily. The structure is based on my own study of traditional Asian wood joints. It is located on a historical reservoir with great view of London. These amazing elements are intended to give the best living experience for the dweller.

Ching Snowie Momo Man Ancient and Modern Design

30

I aim to explore different ways to design moving elements within a space and exterior, sequestering renewable energy. Inspired by Theo Jansen and the ‘Gherkin’ by Foster + Partners. I used wooden blocks in order investigate the composition of my design. I focused on the process of stacking, inspired by Frank Gehry’s model making. The embossed foil on to the surface of the wooden blocks represents solar panels, which would provide electricity for the whole building.

Chioma Marchington Journeys

31

Journeys can take us from one location to another and can provide fascinating experiences along the way - whether the journey be several metres or several miles. I have designed a kiosk to sell items such as newspapers or refreshments, that I imagine to be placed multiple locations along Kingsbury road, with it’s centre being at Kingsbury tube station. Adults and children commuting through the area will pass them, acting as a navigation system.

Hamza Mikou The Cloud

32

My project explores architecture as a dream. I am interested in redesigning a building located in Pavilion Road, London. The purpose of this project is to design a dream centre that helps people with sleeping abnormalities.

I have tried to juxtapose organic and contemporary architecture through my proposal.

Jiya Puri Crystal Garden

33

The purpose of this project was to brighten a neighbourhood that might be regarded as dull and colourless.

I chose an abandoned park as my site. My aim was to create a space that attracts passers-by to come relax and acts as a playground for children. By adding the tinted glass, the sun reflects vibrant colours into the garden and brings more light into the surroundings.

Noor Singh Geometry and Culture

34

This piece is an amalgamation of the most intriguing elements of architecture to me, which are structure, form, colour and the story that binds them. The basis of this structure is the hexagonal shape that is a symbol of harmony and balance and is also an integral part of various religions and cultures across the world. Colours used in the structure are inspired by the colours of nature.

Therefore, the structure represents the coming together of various kinds of people to establish a balance.

Xiaofei Kathy Sun Floating Architecture

35

In this project, I proposed floating Architecture. It can provide a temporary rest place for people whether it be for need or comfort.

At the same time, it is also a bridge, convenient for people to pass, and walking on the bridge offers more views of the Thames.

Vanessa Swatosch Anamorphic Architecture

36

I find interest in anamorphic illusions and was inspired to create a form of anamorphic architecture.

Anamorphic means how a projection is altered and changed depending on the point of perspective that it is being viewed from, along with the distortion of image. This design explores how shapes and form can be seen differently from the perspective of people in the area since it is based on an oddly angled road in Holloway that allows different viewpoints of the buildings’ exterior.

Cristina Tejada Collapse

37

This proposed installation for Brighton seafront warns of the effects of single use plastics and oil manufacturing and production. Forms are inspired by structures on drilling rigs and oil refinery plants, as well as the smooth, fluid shapes of oil leaks in water, and fires/explosions caused by oil refinery plants.

Kieran Tsang Sustainable Homes

38

With the drastic increase in carbon emissions, and the rise of climate change, I have chosen to explore possible ways to incorporate techniques to reduce carbon emissions during the production of a home. My site is situated in the Kings Cross area, where pollution levels are high. The materials I used for my proposal are all biodegradable.

Using digital design, I constructed my model with minimal waste.

Barry Yijie Wang The House in the Forest

40

My proposal is for a medium-sized residential community with the ultimate goal of getting close to nature. This community aims to lead people to away from the hustle and bustle of big cities and remind urban people to pay attention to nature, get close to nature and reach a reconciliation with nature. In order to meet all the life, work, social, leisure functional needs of the audience, the consumption and destruction of nature will be minimised.

Stanley Wood Ezra’s Garden

42

Ezra’s Garden is a site specific semipermanent public space inspired by the EP Ezra’s Garden by Jadu Heart. Ezra’s Garden aims to add Adventure and Mystery to the coffee breaks of office workers in Canary Wharf. Taking average information from personal experiences in the urban and rural environments allows Ezra’s Garden to contribute to the site context. Air trapped in stone composite allows the pontoon to float on Millwall Inner Dock.
