LUCY BAMBURY MArch RIBA Part 2 | CV lucybambury96@googlemail.com London, NW
I am interested in a global Architecture - looking at architecture found throughout our world for inspiration and precedent. Understanding and learning from vernacular architectures, as a way to design passively in response to the climate crisis we are currently going through. I wou Id love to be pa rt of a team that designs for a variety of areas - that challenges the mainstream notion of what architecture is. Throughout my Architectural experience I have pursued to understand communities and the people I am designing for first and foremost. Especially when designing within the multicultural London context. I try and engage with the users personally if possible, turning to interviews and social media to connect with people. I use Rhino3D and Grasshopper to help model desings and to streamline workflow. The use of Grasshopper software has made designs that would otherwise be extremely difficult to realise, possible.

M.ARCH FINAL PROJECT | WITHSTANDING THE TIDES
East ern Ha rb
Alexandria
Weste rn H arb ou r
Challenging governmental and industrial pressure to demolish and relocate residents of the Al Maks informal area in Western Alexandria, Egypt, ‘Withstanding the Tides’ strengthens the existing community using architectural interventions with a local circular economy at its core. Built with materials which will withstand predicted sea level rise, by the community themselves using earth brick, bamboo, timber from fishing boats, and left over rubble from previous demolition. Re-establishing the connection between the residents and the canal, the project will withstand the tides both literally and figuratively.

M.Arch FINAL PROJECT | WITHSTANDING THE TIDES Alexandria, Egypt: The fragmented city Undress: using a hybrid of drawings and conceptual models, we undressed and dismantled the context to expose its condition and reveal its hidden potential. We then worked on reassembling the various fragments of the city by superimposing a new cityscape that sits above the existing, rising sea level, archaeological ruins, demolition rubble and in a metaphorical sense, the corruption of the construction industry.

MODELLING THE HOUSES Outer recycled timber cladding, on bamboo frame structure fixed to earth brick facade
A more sustainable alternative to first use timber, in collaboration with local boat builders, timber will be collected from abandoned boats and excess materials. Bamboo frame will be made using bamboo grown on site.
Earth brick walls
Earth bricks to be made using earth excavated in construction of dwellings, and from local areas.
Upcycled shading screens, made from the fibres from abandoned fishing nets
Piers for fishing boats to dock onto, with treated bamboo driven into river bank to support the structure.
Using timber piles instead of concrete pillars below piers, resulting in a lower embodied energy value.

A canopy assembled annually by the local community residing in Sunbury House, and those working in the Sunbury workshops. There will be various workshops held under the canopy, educating and engaging with the public regarding Bangladeshi culture and heritage and the importance of ‘Victory Day’ for the Bangladeshi people, and the Bangladeshi community on Brick Lane.
Professional Work | Bickerdike Allen Partners
The below plan is taken from the GA drawings for an extension to Grade II listed Flint House in Oxfordshire. I was responsible for helping make and suggesting changes to the existing internal layout, being conscious of partitions which were part of the original heritage structure, and which were new additions. I also helped with the plan of the renovation of a new extension to the project, attached to the heritage building.
These elevations and details are for a high end commercial unit in Edinburgh. I was in charge of coming up with a pattern for the signage on the shop front, and presenting the options to the client. I also worked on putting together the internal elevations, indicating electrical fittings and final furnishings.
