CURRICULUM VITAE
PERSONAL STATEMENT A final year Ba Architecture Student (Part 1) looking for employment to develop and expand the skills learnt at Arts University Bournemouth. With experience in the construction industry through a Bench Joinery Apprenticeship, I was able to work on such projects as Hilton Heathrow Terminal 4 and HMS Queen Elizabeth, seeing them from design through to installation. I also have experience with using CAD to design and sell kitchens and bathrooms at B&Q, giving me experience in sales, finance, and customer services. In this role I was responsible for client meetings, designing and ordering parts, and then communicating with the fitters on site. At University, 3 other students and I formed a society called ‘BH Future Architects’ where we have run events alongside RIBA Dorset to meet and discuss projects with fully qualified architects. In class I have explored projects such as Sensoriums, Modern Bathhouses, using Urban Voids, Modular Housing and now designing a University Campus as my final project.

Current Project in Progress
Project Description This project is currently still being worked on, as its progress is stretched across the whole year, in the first term (before Christmas) we had to research our site and identify potential consequences of an architectural intervention on my site. By researching the wider locale of the site, it allowed me to get a deeper analysis of the connections, historical value and special moments of the site, while thinking about connective routes through our sites. We were then asked to design an architectural concept to test a theory of how we would like to explore our design development, which I am currently in the process of doing. In the concepts in this portfolio, I explored the connections of Winter Gardens Carpark in Bournemouth centre and its relationship with the Bournemouth Gardens. This concept then allowed me to explore nature and its tectonic qualities to relate to creating an architectural structure which can be a fluid space of indoor and outdoor aspects, which can be used for individual study and socialisation. From this design I am currently in the process of designing a whole University Facility building to go onto this site, researching materiality and function, to incorporate with tectonics to create a structural form.
Concept Development Looking at this concept, I explored the relationship between nature and geometry. Looking for similarities in the function of plans and how I can relate that to an architectural mode, relating to nature. After studying the design of plans I noticed similarities in the way the petals blossom open and present the stigmata of the plant. This feature could be an interesting concept to incorporate to create indoor / outdoor atriums.
Project Development Currently I am in the process of creating a whole University Facility building, and here is my current concept at the moment, as the term is still underway, I haven’t got every drawing completed at this current time. This design takes inspiration from the geometric style that the ‘flower pods’ created and translates it into a whole structure, linking the building together with glass atriums to create a space suitable for interacting with nature no matter the weather outside. As the design leads onwards, I am planning on creating new spaces through landscaping the existing carpark into an environment for students to interact with their natural environment before making their way to their lectures.

Sauerbruch Hutton Case Study

Project Description

I chose this case study to research as I found the use of materiality an interesting concept, along with its environmentally friendly pledge to encourage residents to live with smaller carbon footprint. This precedent is the Universal Design Quartier designed by Sauerbruch Hutton. It was built in 2017 and was the Worlds Largest Timber Modular Structure. The accommodation consists of 371 housing modules called ‘woodies’ which are prefabricated timber built offsite sat on top of one another on a concrete transfer floor called a ‘table’. Through researching the architects notes and building choices, I was able to create my own versions of their technical drawings which allowed me to understand the structure and building requirements for a multistorey housing project to work realistically. By drawing out each layer that makes up the walls, it has helped improve my tectonic understanding to create my own Modular Housing Project.

This project is the designing a Modular Housing Building on Seamoor Road in Westbourne. I aimed to create a sustainable, eco-friendly residential scheme designed to house the homeless, and asylum seeking to live, work, learn and engage with their local communities. With this support, it can allow people to build up confidence to integrate into their new local community and give opportunities to others seeking help.

This project has 19 residential units (housing 61 people with a mixture of 2/3 bedroom apartments, studios and co-living spaces), a café, a shop, and a college facility building. To help the environment this project will be fitted with solar panels, triple glazing and a mechanical ventilation system (HVAC). With the complex design of different shaped models, water can run down and be harvested to be used on the rooftop urban farm.

MODERN BATHHOUSE

Making, Thinking and Wellbeing
Project Description This Project was one of my first at Arts University Bournemouth, it is a modern interpretation of a Bathhouse in the centre of Upton Country Park. We then were tasked with the research into wellbeing and how it can influence leisure activities. I decided to create my bathhouse on the top of a hill overlooking Holes Bay. The buildings are constructed with Rammed Earth with green roofs to encourage the bathers to feel connected to their natural environment. When entering the bathhouse, you first go to reception where you will be guided to your own individual space, walking back outside into a courtyard filled with greenery connecting with tan canvas canopies, walking across a bridge over a flowing water feature, reminding the client the connection to water and natural space they were walking around in Upton Country Park, onto a central island. From there they must cross another bridge to their booked space, symbolising separating from others to enable a sense of reflection. Once in the bathhouse there is an indoor changing facility and a sauna. There is also an outdoor shower to refresh themselves before and after their bathing experience. Outside there is also the artificially heated bath. Each bathhouse has their own unique view across difference aspects of the park, making each visit unique and creating different reflection spaces.
