Voronoi pattern parametric modelling with Grasshopper

As an academic demonstration of a project challenging conventional architectural and construction norms, I used computational algorithms to iteratively explore parametric geometries for a university building.

The unpredictable nature of natural phenomena aligns more closely with computational algorithms than human cognition. Therefore, to emphasize biophilic spatial organization, I implemented an AI-driven design approach using concept visualizations from Midjourney and DALL-E, generated organic shapes, and incorporated biophilic elements.

The resulting creative and flexible design solutions also enhance wellbeing and sustainability. To further dive into the subject of AI in architecture, I acquired certifications for Conditional Image Generation, Artificial Intelligence for Design and MidJourney, and GPT-4 and Generative AI skills in 2024.

Academic Projects First Grade Honours Year 1-2, Manchester School of Architecture MAKER/SPACE (Year 1) was designed as a multifunctional building, blending a handcrafted pottery shop and tearoom with an educational crafting area, reflecting British customs and offering an opportunity to engage with Romanian traditional pottery. The materials chosen for the space are carefully selected to align with the product, manufacturing process, and environmental consciousness, showing a raw connection between nature and the urban environment.

Playhouse, Arthouse, Dancehouse (Year 2) envisioned a residential complex tailored to artists and performers near Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre. The project featured amenities such as a summer outdoor theater, indoor performance spaces, dedicated rehearsal studios in each apartment, and prioritized aspects of well-being, greenery, and sustainable design.

Competitions and Certificates Sustainability focus 2021 “A Concha,” - meaning seashell in Portuguese - was born from the BEE BREEDERS (now Buildner)architectural competition “Spirala Community Home” in 2021, and embodies the vision of the Spirala Ecological Village founders.

Serving as the village’s communal hub, the proposal fosters connection and shared experiences through events, workshops, and performances. Designed with a circular layout to echo the village’s name and DNA-inspired spiral motif, the home encapsulates the community’s ethos of unity and harmony.

Being passionate about sustainability since the beginning of my academic journey, I pursued and accomplished coursework in sustainable architecture and interior design.

Ryder Experience Project Zanzibar

Site model 3D axonnometric, Revit + Enscape

For the majority of the project, I was responsible for gaining a deep understanding of the brief and conducting an analysis of the existing and historical site, as well as gathering key site context imagery and information. This further informed my responsibility for a range of drawings exploring design iterations for the new residential development - plans, elevations, long sections, crosssections, masterplans, and renders of the volumes in context. I created a series of site context diagrams and used the site surveys as input in the creation of a BIM model in Revit. This, alongside precedent studies, helped with topography and concept massing.

Ryder Experience Project Zanzibar

As the project progressed into detailed design, I began modelling partitions and internal walls, as well as researched precedents for the façade strategy. This allowed me to develop the GA elevations in Revit, through which I communicated options of brick finishes for the elevation study.

I used Photoshop to create visuals for the gable of the building and possible murals for user and external engagement. I worked remotely on apartment layout plans and 3D renders including furniture models, fire strategy plans and bin stores and cycle plans, which enhanced my coordination skills with the team.

Ryder Experience Stockport Hospital I supported the Manchester office with the hospital for Stockport NHS Fondation Trust. My focus was on the Stepping Hill Paediatric Theatres, where I used Revit to update paediatric theatres and storage rooms and Enscape for renders. I also worked on the fire strategy drawings for Temporary Paediatrics Emergency Department, and in another segment of the project concerning New In-Patient Wards, I took charge of the ground floor and first floor plans. My responsibilities included coordinating between levels in terms of structural columns, lifts, and partition types and finishes for fire resilience.

New Writing North (NWN) asked Ryder Architecture for ideas to develop Bolbec Hall into a new Centre for Writing. Literary quotes in the pavement will lead visitors to the ground floor with a bookshop, café and bar. The basement houses storage, beverage facilities, kitchens and a bespoke audio recording studio. Above, open collaborative spaces and private offices cater to writers, creators and publishers. A function room hosts events, while the library on the fourth floor serves Northumbria University. The fifth floor acts as a creative hub for school visits and events.

Competition Experience Mars Habitat Competition Mars’s polar regions are a frozen source of water, which would require desalination to use practically.

The equator is the warmest but driest part of the planet, so a settlement would require a place somewhere inbetween the warmth and the water.

For ease, this should be in the topographically flatter Northern part of the planet.
