Drawing on the concepts of kintsugi and wabi-sabi, which embrace imperfection, along with the idea of isomorphism linking nature, architecture, and the human body, the project aims to honour Dundee’s heritage, epitomized by Keiller’s marmalade. Situated within the Edwardian theatre fly tower, the project seeks to blend the old with the new, past with present, while envisioning a progressive future for Dundee.
Located in Dundee’s Edwardian theatre fly tower, the space incorporates elements of the existing Well-gate centre to accommodate a range of activities, including jam making, dancing, and library services, catering to both residents and visitors alike.

Investigation into the Keiller’s legacy lend itself into an investigation onto the jam making process. The demolition of the factory and the shut-down of Keiller, has created a vacuum of now-retired workers who are still incredibility skilled in jam making. The proposal aims to bridge the gap.

“Hope at Home” is designed in response to the 2023 Syria earthquake. The proposal aims to create sustainable and low-cost temporal housing from re-purposed and local resources while adapting to their extreme climates.
A central courtyard inspired by vernacular Syrian architecture provides a passive cooling system through shading and ventilation. Stereo-tonic earth-bag walls act as Trombe walls, heating the room in the winter and cooling it down in the summer. The slidable polycarbonate screens installed at various levels and slanted roofs encourage cross ventilation.
For ease of assembly and transportation, the building structure is comprised of imported wood members to form a repeatable framework. The structures’ remaining materials are re-purposed from harvested materials from the post-disaster surrounding. The construction process acts as an opportunity to build community and empower vulnerable individuals.

Hand Sketching and Physical Modelling
In light of the recent closure of Hunter’s building roof by RACC, we proposed a new roof capping/rooftop to enhance its relationship with the city and the college.
Armed with the concerns with care, maintenance, and movement of the human body (and our vade mecum), we explored the lauriston building and its surrounding site, discovering artefacts and fragments - the sundials to the pavement. Borrowing from George Perec attempt to exhaust a place in Paris, we adapted a similar methodology in recording movement.
Pin up screen derived from Japanese Shoji screens run along floor tracks, housed behind the inhabited wall whiles creating intimate moments of alcoves along the way. A lattice of timber columns and beams forms the new structure, holding up what would be the new roof.

In ‘On Detail’ the Vade Mecum is an essential record of and tool in the process of detailing. It collates references, regulation, material, movement and details that informed our proposal.

Using Calvino’s analogue of city SAURA as prompt to re-investigate our city, we created our folded map [right] and traced the stone tiles between the site, the meadows and the castle. Taking inspiration of how different patterns denote movement, the tiles are differentiated into 2 different zone, the ‘inhabited wall’ housing screens and reading corners and the ‘studio space’ with modular flooring housing within the tracks.

The initial exploration begins with investigating variation in hedgerow’s physical makeup across territories. We developed a series of keywords that underpin our propositions, responding to the essence of our hedgerow: [lines in landscape, edges, symbiosis, mutual-ism, interweaving, coexistence, microbes, decomposition, temporal change, movement, human intervention]. In our selected area of investigation, we identified key themes such as movement of water throughout different scales, from vascular to human infrastructure; and the tectonics qualities of hedgerow canopies through a series of model making.
Loosely basing our project on Culross, Fife, the proposal is a mushroom farm synthesising the previous investigation. With wandering pathways parallel to farm’s buildings, visitors can process up the site to the dining space whilst observing the GROWING, HARVESTING, STORAGE, and COOKING of mushrooms; the journey between one building and the next is a transition across the stages of a mushroom’s life-cycle.

TRACING DIASPORA THREADS OF UKRAINIAN MIGRANTS IN EDINBURGH
With the surge of conflict and crisis fueled by a rapid escalation in violence— particularly in ongoing wars in the Middle East, Russia, and Africa—unprecedented numbers of displaced populations have emerged. These global trends of violence and segregation have left a profound imprint on urban spaces and the built environment, reshaping how we organize and design our surroundings. Situated within the discourse on diaspora, this dissertation seeks to explore the foundational aspects of how the built environment is conceptualized, examining the indicators reflecting the relationship between architecture and displacement, as well as the underlying social and psychological causes.
The diaspora Ukrainian community in Edinburgh in face of the sober consequences of the on going war has demonstrated remarkable resilience. This dissertation investigates how this resilience, forged through collective struggle and survival, is expressed in the architecture of their built environment, focusing on a specific instance within the Ukrainian diaspora community: the function room of Morning-side United Church, which serves as a gathering place for volunteering.
Drawing on various theoretical frameworks including Levi Strauss’ structural anthropology and Tim Ingold’s notion of meshwork, as well as the works of Bachelard, Nishat, and Jeffrey,

Dr. Soledad Garcia Ferrari
this dissertation explores themes of identity, resilience, spatiotemporality, and dwelling as manifested in architecture. Examining the influences of architecture on memory association and the role of architecture in shaping cultural identities within diaspora communities, particularly in challenging established architectural paradigms and contributing to social resilience.
Theoretical exploration of common spaces opens fundamental debates about how we perceive our surroundings. Chapters two and three establish the theoretical framework and research methodology, drawing upon a multidisciplinary framework from sociology and anthropology literature. Embodied ethnographic fieldwork, supplemented by drawing and personal observations from participation in Edinburgh Spider, forms the basis of the research approach. Borrowing from Jeffrey Huo’s concept of ‘re-appropriation,’ subsequent chapters delve into the ways cultural artefacts reflect diaspora identity and the role of liminal space in negotiating time, memory, culture, and identity. Finally, cultural artefacts are interpreted from an anthropological perspective, exploring the role of commoning in shaping the urban environment and challenging established architectural paradigms, culminating in concluding reflections and avenues for future study.

RESEARCH + THEORY
Hong Kong Re-imagined; A Reflective Exploration of Home and Identity
Expanding upon my dissertation, This artwork serves as a personal investigation into the evolving concept of home, using my memories of Hong Kong as a framework to challenge my own cultural biases and preconceptions of dwelling and architecture. Inspired by Italo Calvino’s observation in Invisible Cities that “arriving to each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had,” I explore how memory, identity, and the built environment intersect within the diasporic experience.
Through this piece, I reflect on the familiar unfamiliar—the simultaneous recognition and estrangement evoked by spaces that once felt like home. My work questions Gaston Bachelard’s idea of the dwelling as a stable anchor for memory and identity, instead portraying home as fragmented and dynamic, shaped by dislocation, imagination, and the act of recollection.
Hong Kong, as I recall and reinterpret it, becomes a layered tapestry of redundant signs and symbols, echoing Calvino’s Zirma, where repetition creates meaning. This reflective process allows me to confront the tension between rootedness and flux, incorporating architectural and symbolic motifs to examine how my identity is renegotiated in unfamiliar contexts, such as my current environment of study/work.

LDN ARCHITECTS BERWICK BARRACKS
The project sees the proposed transformation of the Berwick Barracks East range (Blocks O, A, B, C), Officers’ Mess, Bread & Meat Store (externals), and Toilet Block into museum facilities, a café, office spaces, community areas, a public archive, collection storage, learning spaces, and support areas. Internal alterations aim to streamline circulation while preserving the historic Grade I listed plan. A new single-storey Atrium Building will serve as a museum arrival space, offering flexible event use and accessible connections between buildings. Parade Square accessibility and activity will be enhanced with a new perimeter walkway featuring interpretation elements and external café seating.

RESPONSIBILITIES
- Fabric repair package for tender issue
- Site constraint plans, curating proposed GA plans and sections
- Balustrade and entrance threshold wall build up drawings
- Window, Door and Rooflight schedule with elevations and details
-Participating in design team workshops and site visits
Submitting building regulation proposed GA plans and sections enhanced my understanding of coordinating with consultants, particularly Fire Engineers and Accessibility Consultants and compiling required documentation. Creating the same drawings also required frequent review of Building Standards Technical Handbooks regarding Fire Escapes and Accessibility regulations. (PC 3.2, 3.3) Research into Creating site constraint plans for the Berwick East Range provided exposure to land law, including proposing construction layouts, revising boundaries, and consolidate traffic controls requirements. (PC 3.3)
Designing for a Grade I listed project required minimizing heritage impacts while adhering to planning and conservation regulations. (PC 3.1, 3.9). After discussions with client and structural engineers, we have developed an attitude to fabric repair to minimize repair work to keep both the overall rustic feeling and reduce cost and damage without compromising structural integrity. It was rewarding experience with surveying, marking up the repair package against photogrammetry elevations, and learning how conservation repair works are carried out.
