SHEFIELD NG ARCHITECTURE PORTFOLIO WORKS FROM BA ARCHITECTURE + OTHERS

STATEMENT The importance of weaving a building with its contextual language and responding to the rhythm of patterned human activity is a trait I value. To me, design changes and evolves with us. I have aims to explore designs in sync with technological progression and schemes that are adaptable to our future needs, striving to further discover the potentiality of impactful positive spaces.

Central Node

Student Hub

Social hub area extruded building to invite people to enter, and separates the open square into two parts, the turn into the dockyard provides a interesting spacial shift

Central pond, is meant to reflect the previous mast pond

Central node, merging of functions, and gives a contrast in scale. Buildings in the centre relatively smaller.

Leisure bridge will be beside a bell tower, it alerts visitors of time and directs people towards this area, like the chimneys of the sawmill

PASSAGEWAY TO THE PAST

Shaping new stories at still waters Chatham Dockyard has constantly been changing. Many parts of paths, buildings and usage of the Dockyard in particular has been demolished, extended and rebuilt to cope with the change of use. Perhaps a new proposal can seek to rediscover old paths and artefacts and reinterpret them. This project attempts to embrace the rich surroundings of Chatham Historical Dockyard, and to ignite a conversation between the building and the context. Located between Medway River and the mast pond, it connects both water bodies and acts as a threshold to site. Organisation and movement throughout the building is driven by the masses of water.

PLAN A long corridor connecting river Medway and the north mast pond. The corridor is intercepted by many activities and facilities, such as the event space, workspaces, cafe, lobby and road. The lobby is visually connected to the river, dry docks, mast pond and green area. This is all in hopes to introduce and lead users of the building to further explore the dockyard.

SPATIAL ORGANISATION Create strong spatial and visual interconnections between workspaces by creating shared spaces at intersecting points of workspace.

INTERIOR PERSPECTIVES Internal spaces vary greatly. From rentable cubic 4m x 4m studios, shared work spaces and event space all intersecting an open atrium space. The environment is meant to encourage creativity, connection, and collaboration for all.

Reinterpretation of existing building layouts & structure

Exposed trusses and vastness of industrial buildings

Covered Walkways

The exposed columns give a sense of variation and dynamism within shared spaces.

A SHIFTING INTERVENTION

Adaption and extension : Timber Seasoning Huts 1880 The scheme is to integrate a new structure to existing timber seasoning sheds while also introducing a new combination of uses of the building, nursery children, care home residents and local residents, to be able to respect privacy and also have points of interaction. The final form relies on shifting forms to divide and join spaces.

Walkway to nursery

Care home

Public spaces

CONCEPT STATEMENT The concept is to extend and challenge the rigid grid form of the boxed framed timber huts.

The main idea is to create prefabricated shifting forms and utilise such rectangular forms to divide spaces and usages.

GRADUAL CHANGE OF THE GRID

SWITCHING MATERIALITY

COLLECTIVE DWELLING Co-dependent living A project located in Faversham, downstream of the Faversham river.

The aim is to create a residential hub which encompasses varying groups.

Families, young professionals and elderly.

03

This project utilizes the idea of assembling modular blocks in varying ways to achieve an interconnected neighbourhood where structures, homes and pathways meet at different points.
