reflection

Third year has played out to be the most challenging but also most rewarding year of my undergraduate study. I have loved having the opportunity to spend a whole year developing a single scheme in detail, and have found Building-upon-Building to be the most engaging and stimulating work I have yet done. The learning curve has been particularly steep this year, the challenge of designing such a large building and in relation to a structure so revered as Notre Dame was daunting. However, the ambition of the project provided me with creative opportunities, and chances for design exploration that I feel have significantly increased my ability as a designer, particularly with regards to responding to context.
