Faiz Hakimi

from Manchester School of Architecture.

I am a RIBA Part 2 Architecture Graduate driven by a deep interest in exploring the intersection of architecture, design, and filmmaking.

I can easily adapt to new environment, and I am skilled in technical softwares such as Autodesk Revit, AutoCAD, Sketchup, Lumion, Enscape, Adobe Creative Suites as well as Microsoft Office.

1. ‘Remaking Parasite’ [M.Arch 2 | Final Year Thesis - Narrative Architecture, Filmmaking, Set Design, Videography] “This project feels like a gift, allowing me to rediscover the joy of crafting visual narratives. This project concludes in an exploration of socioeconomic disparities in comparison to Manchester and Malaysia, using film as a tool for social commentary. Inspired by the film “Parasite,” I constructed a “Spatial Construct” that mirrored the film’s masterful use of visual storytelling. Through cinematic techniques and model making, I captured the realities of privilege and struggle within the city’s landscape. While the film did not mirror the original Parasitic concept, this project utilizes its symbolism to depict disparity and inequality. The thesis produces a 7-minute short film, and a physical experience, with various visuals of filming set designs and models that challenged viewers through immersive experiences and intentional emotional responses.”

What does the film look like beyond the confines of the film’s screen?

The filming sets, composed of essential key components, play a crucial role in shaping and enhancing the overall narrative.

A Visual Narrative Drawing upon the techniques of parallax animation and spatial manipulation, I constructed multiple scenes that weave together the narrative threads of my Parasite.

Each scene is imbued with symbolic significance, representing the character’s journey through cultural and economic landscapes, and collectively forms a cohesive storyline.

2. ‘Creare Living’ [M.Arch 1 | Housing - Manchester Student Accommodation] “In a world where climate change and environmental degradation are major concerns, it is essential to focus on sustainable practices and innovations that will help reduce carbon emissions and preserve our planet for future generations. The project brief requires us to propose a student accommodation using Design for Manufacture Assembly (DfMA) construction method to achieve a zero carbon emission target. The use of DfMA construction method to achieve embodied zero carbon emission goals as stated by RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge is a promising approach to sustainable architecture. By using prefabricated components and reducing on-site construction time and waste, DfMA can significantly reduce carbon emissions associated with traditional construction methods. Additionally, the use of low-carbon materials such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) can further reduce embodied carbon. “ School

Spatial Strategy Fashion, architecture, digital arts and music students typically have common characteristics between them as they were known for their ‘creative’ ideas.

However, there are some characteristics that differs them from each other. Therefore, their personal characteristics were studied and the gathered datas were used to determine their spatial needs.

3. ‘Career Compass’ [M.Arch 1 | Adaptive Reuse - A Collaborative Project] “The Bellhouse marks our first attempt into adaptive reuse on a conservation building. Through visits to its surroundings, extensive research into similar buildings from the same period, and the consolidation of existing data, we have been able to form a comprehensive understanding of the building’s current state. Our study of The Bellhouse revealed that, beyond mere restoration, we could incorporate innovative renovation strategies. By embracing a modern approach that creates deliberate conflict and contrast, we aimed to preserve the building’s historical value while introducing contemporary elements. Utilizing multiple computational analysis methods, we explored a variety of iterations, which can be seamlessly integrated into the new Bellhouse design.“

5. Personal Interests I have always infused my personality and passions into my work, believing that designs thrive with genuine interest and enthusiasm. Over the years, in addition to mastering new techniques and software, I have focused on implementing my existing hidden skills to better convey ideas and explore concepts. This page showcases the methods and explorations I’ve undertaken to deepen my understanding of my projects and designs.

This has led me to reconsider the power and responsibility of architects, prompting me to rethink architecture not only as a profession but also in terms of its role in research, conveying messages and exploration. I am excited to see how my practice and understanding I have developed throughout my 6 years of architectural journey will continue to evolve in the future.
