PROFFESIONAL EXPERIENCE
SHORE ARCHITECTURE
For this international scheme, I designed the layout of the land scape and the roads, and I made 1:50 detailed drawings of the landscape around the residen tial areas. Even though the main design was done by the landscape architects, I helped in the development of the CAD master plan and pavement details.
PROFFESIONAL EXPERIENCE
DAVID WRIGHT
For this project, I surveyed the properties and designed the extension, giving me the opportunity to experience all seven RIBA stages and follow the project from start to finish, a valuable contrast to my previous experience with larger multinational projects.

Acting University
For my first term in the third year, my site was located at the Winter Gardens car park in Bournemouth (BH2 5AQ). With this design, my main goal is to improve the site and join it with the rest of Bournemouth’s city centre. It plays on the curves and layout of the space to create a central informal stage for the acting university campus. The Fibonacci-inspired buildings set the stage and create routes.
The buildings are subdivided into four groups: Public, Semipublic and Private, the public area emcompassing the gateway bullding. This Is done to slowly separate the public areas from the purely student areas without creating more fragmentation on the site.
Plans
Sections
The building is a university campus for acting students. The Fibonacci-like shape guides the public through the site all to end up into an informal performance stage. The sloped buildings help make the roof a key feature, while reinforcing the central courtyard. I tried creating rendered plans and sections to better convey my concept in the drawings.
This are the initial axonometric drawings of the buildings within the university campus. They were designed to integrate a walkable green roof, it sets the stage creating another viewing level for the acting students.
SKETCH BOOK
CONCEPT DRAWINGS
This are the initial concept drawings of the buildings within the university campus. The design was mainly inspired by the trees surrounding the area and how they would enhance the overall experience.

Redoing the Pier
For the third term of my second year at university, my site was Bournemouth Pier. The proposal was based on making a monumental space while creating an unpleasant scenario for the people walking through it. As you walk through, you would feel compressed and realise all so that at the end you find the monument.
