GATHER IN SILK
Type: Civic Building
Location: Valencia, Spain
The Silk Road Centre is a centre dedicated to the research and exploration of the future of silk fabric and beyond. Spotlighting silkworms due to the relevance of silk in Valencia - from Fallas festival clothing to the Silk Road. It also provides moments for experts and visitors to share ideas around the opportunities that lie ahead in the textile industry within the climate responsive envelope.
Software: Grasshopper, Rhino 3D, Photoshop, Illustrator
CRAFT GROVE
Type: Bodyscape
Location: Chartham village, England
Nested in a riverside clearing is an escape for a junior arborist. The self-built outpost provides a space for tree surgery equipment storage and a workstation for the leisure activity of carving tree offcuts. Located in the midst of trees, the structure of sawn branches and tree bark shingle cladding echo its maker’s work and play.
Software: AutoCAD, Illustrator
SPIRAL SCAPE
Type: Software
Location: Meta gallery
This study explores parametric design from an appreciation of natural twists like those found in shells and on tree trunks. The project is a series of experiments within Grasshopper, responding to a seed term - torsion - to see biology and physics within generative geometry. The final algorithmically designed form was then used to study forms of fabrication.
Software: Grasshopper, Rhino 3D, Photoshop
SHARED SANCTUARY
Type: Housing
Location: Canterbury, England
In the heart of the town lies The Arts House, a unique haven for art students. Here, creativity and development are nurtured, as living spaces seamlessly blend with co-working areas. Fifteen units intertwined around flexible courtyards foster collaboration and innovation. Under one roof, a community thrives as shared spaces transform to accommodate collective visions.
Software: Rhino 3D, Illustrator
FACE VALUE
Type: Portraits
Face value explores a friend -group connection as a portrait, where each person’s personality is seen through their eye. Each piece uses watercolour to express the diverse personalities, inviting people to hold the gaze and form connections as authentic as the individuals represented.
Tools: Hand sketching
