Working as a healthcare assistant on psychiatric wards providing both physical and emotional support for service users has developed my understanding of the effectiveness of communication and interpersonal skills when dealing with individuals. Working alongside multi-disciplinary teams ensures with good team work any problems which may arise on the ward can be dealt with diligently and safely in order to keep the trust among patients, family members and colleagues.

VIO ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES (2021 Summer internship)

VIO Architectural Services specialises in property development and home renovations. Shadowing the founding Architect allowed me to witness live projects being built, from planning to construction. I was able to attend site visits across multiple properties, and was given the opportunity to produce orthographic and 3d work’s using Autocad and Sketchup. Speaking to contractors and investors helped me to understand the importance of communication amongst all levels, and how vital problem solving skills are at each stage of the build.

TEMPLE OF ANTITHESIS

The temple of Antithesis is a place of non religious ceremony, sanctuary and memory that the transient and settle communities of Blackpool and Coninston can utilities as a place of respite and sensory renewal from the intensities of people and place. The temple should be a regenerative place rather than a degenerative space; offering an experience of that does not currently exist as a public or civic typology. A place to gather, a place to share and a place to be alone with ones self where architecture has been deployed to create a sacred and sensory experience through and application of light, sound, touch, time, space and movement.

MADE IN BERLIN

We are to explore the spatial, social, cultural and economic tensions and opportunities that exist where the needs of migrant, tourist and ‘native’ will be utilised to create an architectural typology of production, learning and empowerment. A place within which to conceive and make artefacts of memory, relating tangibly and intangibly to ideas of identity to the place.

Based upon the research and analysis of the economical and social state of Berlin, I have decided to base my artefact on self built kart’s inspired by soap derby racing. Families, friends and children of all ages, ethnicities and genders will come together to work in groups to build their very own racing kart. The kart will be made from recycled materials gathered from the community, and once made and used they will be dismantled adding to the scrap used by the next set of visitors.

Berlin is known for its advancement in technology and mechanical engineering field, they focus their attention on developing their younger generation; with most going through the education system and staying in Berlin to find careers, boosting the overall economy in Berlin, bringing new creative and innovative minds to the front-line of Berlin’s workforce.

The recycled material used to create the kart are not only a sustainable form of production but also represent the increase in migration and different ethnic and social groups coming together helping to build the new Berlin.

The workshop provides an enjoyable and educational activity for the youth, teaching them many key skills such as the importance of teamwork, problem solving, and planning, all vital skills needed in the real life working environment.

ARTEFACT 11

My chosen site is Templehof Berlin airport for its rich history and its relevance in today’s society, with the main points of my project relating back to the reunification of Berlin and its attachment to its history, not only is Templehof currently known for its social events and attractions in this day and age but it also used to be one of the three iconic pre world war 2 airports. The space is now used for recreational space known as Templehofer field, hosting festivals, events, and in 2015 it was announced that Templehof will also become an emergency refugee camp.

The social and economical targets of Berlin were able to be expressed through materiality and separation of form when it came to the design of the proposal. The people of Berlin had a culture of keeping parts of its history intact, with a vast amount of buildings retrofitted, not only was this a sustainable measure of construction but it also held a significant amount of importance socially.

Following the reunification of Berlin many buildings and statues were demolished and rebuilt, developing the urban areas, this is all in hopes to change Berlin’s image. The separate forms connected in the diagram represent the new wave of Berlin which still manages to be connected to its history. The different level of transparency in each of the blocks translates to how transparent Berlin and Germany wants to be to the rest of the world
