PROJECT A - The Towers In A Linear City

The project is located in Cumbe r naul d, S co t l and. T he project's goal is to find solutions for Cumbernauld's present problems.

The main aspect of the project is to restore Cumbernauld to its original linear form and demonstrate the city’s original function. This is a joint project with the other two students. I was concentrating on designing the residential area. The towers host all the residents inside the linear city. The towers' design addresses all of the problems with tower blocks today while also experimenting with a novel approach to high-rise living.

Additionally, the design eliminates any barriers between the residents and forges a solid bond among the community.

PROJECT B - Univerisity Department Building

The project is located at Dundee in Scotland. The project uses unsites to find undeveloped areas in Dundee and explores various unsites in the area. Each site presents an outlook tower of the city. The group chose to restructure the university campus, divide each department, and put them at various locations across Dundee after studying the area. My project is located at the waterfront area in Dundee, using one of the sites to host the gaming department of Abertay University. The outlook tower will be made horizontal rather than vertical as part of the design, demonstrate the idea of growing landscape. The project extends towards the river Tay and represents the growing landscape of the riverside area. The walls acts as barriers that devides space functions.

PROJECT C - Community Health Centre

The well-being centre is located at the Westfield line of Dundee. Trees and stone walls encircled the site.

The project's objective is to improve the public open space and create a welcoming public hub for the neighbourhood. By incorporating the old stone wall into the project's exterior facade, the project's key aspect is its close ties to the site context. The land's natural features, such as the trees and stones will remain on the site. The proposal does not remove all green space from the neighbourhood; instead, the central part of the project will be used by the inhabitants as a public gathering place.
