‘THE WOODEN LIBRARY’
LOCATED:
Worchester Car Park, Oxford, UK
FUNCTION:
Multi-Functional Library to facilitate students, staff and local.
PROJECT BRIEF:
DESIGN
Wudu Bochord, also known as ‘The Wooden Library’, Located in Oxford, this project replaces the existing Worcester Street car park with a dynamic multipurpose library that bridges public and private realms. Designed to serve both the local community and university students, the library offers open public spaces alongside quieter, more secluded study areas. Drawing inspiration from the Taijin Library’s spatial organisation and the British Library’s rich interior language, the design fosters a sense of openness.The roof structure takes cues from EMBT’s organic train station designs, introducing a sculptural, light filled canopy. Wudu Bochord is a solution to remove an overly saturated car park with a space which serves both the purpose for the Locals and Students attending there respective university with Educational andversatile facilities.
EXTERIOR PERSPECTIVE OF THE COLONADE: The project is wrapped around 4 colonades, housing different functional needs..

CORE LIBRARY:
The Core Library holds scriptures and writing only seen by those allowed.
The Main Atrium is used to hold Public literature and information attainable by anyone who visits.
The café serves both students and locals by providing a welcoming space to study, relax, or bridging academic needs with community access and everyday comfort.
The lounge offers a calm, flexible space for students and locals to relax, read, or meet—connecting the café and library through comfort, light, and informal interaction.

PROJECT BRIEF: CLT TIME
TECHNICAL
This technical report will dive into an on going project to create a Library in Oxford, replacing Worcester Car Park. As mentioned, due to the nature of the project, the focus of this technology report is to find wether the functionality of materials used in the structure and experimenting with different structural needs using Timber and CLT production, can create a mass supporting roof structure.
The project aims for this design is to be able to build Timber supported and designed roof structure throughout a massive building structure. To be able to understand the different uses of Timber and how it can be adapted to fit my project.

CNC production of timber frames ensures precision and efficiency in structural woodwork. The process begins with design and preparation, where CAD software is used to create digital models, which are then converted into CNC-compatible instructions.

THE AUTOMATON WORKSHOP
‘OBSELETE OBJECT’
LOCATED:
Weald & Downland Living Museum, Town Lane, Singleton, Chichester West Sussex PO18 0EU
FUNCTION:
Multi-Functional Library to facilitate students, staff and local.
PROJECT BRIEF:
YEAR 2
This three-part architectural project is inspired by abstraction and the aesthetics of industrial machine-making. It integrates a public gallery with a dynamic automaton workshop designed to support the creation of mechanical and kinetic works. The workshop is a flexible, multi-functional space capable of accommodating projects at various scales, from intricate mechanisms to large automated structures. Together, the gallery and workshop explore the intersection of art, engineering, and architecture within a bold, industrial-inspired framework.

BUILDING ELEVATION
Each render is meant to encapsulate space and is correspoding to elevation. Due to this building being a multi-functional, the space allows for different purposes and responds well with those visiting, not just limiting to a singular function.

OTHER WORKS ‘SAHCF
- HOSPITAL DESIGN’
LOCATED: Bangladesh, Rangpur.
FUNCTION:
A Hospital designed for cancer patients in low income areas.
PROJECT BRIEF:
Worked with a team of architects and architectural designers to make a proposal for a fundraiser. The project was a cancer hospital in Bangladesh and ended up making the news and national with its first fund raiser being in New York City.
NEW YORK EXHIBITION:
We were invited to showcase the project and initial designs, to raise funds for the hospital.
