BRIDGING THE DIVIDES, 01.
A COMMUNITY HUB FOR ALL.
‘Bath’s historic Roman wall is mirrored further in the city than just the physical barrier. Divides are seen today between races, ages, cultures, and religions. The bridges surrounding the city must do more than just serve the public access. The sense of place and belonging should be experienced by all of the city’s residents.’

Site axonometric,
This typology of building must maintain it’s crucial axes through to the YMCA. The communal link would allow for future growth of this project, and it would affect it’s success initially integrating within the public realm.
Site plan,
Scale 1:1000 / with community links to site detailed.
Key communal connections are illustrated in a route determined by the transportation and infrastructure in place, allowing for a flow between key nodes. The route can progress in popularity with this project being central and accessible.

South Bank Seed Bank,
Year 2, London South Bank.
This project was a response to London’s growing population and need for food. Through hydroponics and aeroponics, this building would serve as a growing space for the community, as well as have laboratories for research, and public-use auditoriums and workshops.
The site of London’s South Bank proved a challenging site, being strict with regulation compliance as well as specific heights and view limitations. This taught me to compromise and develop designs in section, whilst drawing in plan to ensure an all-around successful scheme. This project concluded my year of developing software skills. I used AutoCAD and Sketchup to complete these illustrations, as well as Photoshopping them where needed.
