Ruben Lincoln About Me I am a hard-working and dedicated BArch graduate from Nottingham Trent University. During my time at university I have developed important skills through my studies like problem solving and time management as well as a range of software’s to help communicate my work. I take a particular interest in historic interventions within architecture and how we can merge modern and historic design together seamlessly.

I have a rich history of architecture within my family with my great-great grandfather being Thomas Wallis who designed the Hoover building and Victoria Coach Station, My Granddad and Uncle are also Architects so I am excited to be continuing the tradition of architecture within my family and hopefully live up to what many in my family have achieved before me and be able to be a part of something that I can be truly proud of.

Locomotive Museum 2021- Second Year This project saw the development of a museum which would be a centrepiece of a new community of users and visitors in the newly developing Island Quarter or Nottingham. The site for the project was an abandoned railway warehouse previously used

by Great Northern Railway.

Due to the condition of the warehouse the most ideal way of tackling the site was through an intervention. The existing fabric of the warehouse was to envelope the new build and create an interesting juxtaposition between the old and the new.

To fit with the history of the building and enrich this space I decided to create a museum of Nottingham’s

heritage.

Celebrating its importance during the industrial revolution and educate the population on a lesser known industry of the city.

Bristol Hybrid Housing 2022 This project was split into two separate parts at two different scales.

The first was to generate a masterplan of the St. Philips Marsh area in Bristol. Turning it from a uninteresting and dilapidated industrial area into a bright and vibrant hybrid housing scheme that relinks it to the rest of the city.

The masterplan saw the area turning into a lush green space which promotes walkability and community. The site is split by two main axis of canals which link to the Feeder Canal to the north and a main boulevard which provides the main transport links to the site.

Each block then represents a hybrid housing scheme which then lead onto the second part of the project.

The second part of the project was to take one of these blocks from the masterplan and create a hybrid housing scheme from it. Incorporating the ideas of an active ground floor that has activity throughout the day and night in the form of bike workshops, restaurants, gyms etc., and a community hub to bring together all the range of people that live in Bristol.

Parametric Pavilion 2022 This project saw the development of skills in Rhino and Grasshopper through the making of a pavilion that uses parametric designing principals.

The pavilion is based within the masterplan of the Hybrid Housing project and was required to be a representation of the City of Bristol. From this brief i developed the idea that the pavilion could be based upon the Clifton Suspension Bridge, one of the most famous landmarks within Bristol, but deconstruction its elements into a more abstract interpretive design.

The wire mesh that makes up the form of the pavilion comes from the Suspension Bridges cables that are strung between the two towers. I extracted these cables and formed them into these sails which ties into Bristols rich maritime history.

The pavilion captures the essence of Bristol subtly and provides users with a beautiful landmark within the new masterplan.
