Final Project (PCS):

'Public Space for Political Discourse'

Written starting point

Personal Confirmatory Study written proposal (outlining my intentions for the project- a document used to mark my project against)

4th Specialism project:

Structures transitioning public to private presences

A project exploring the transition between public and private spaces across multiple axioms, such as scale, light and height. Starting off by looking at the natural growth-like arrangement of blocks​, I became interested in vertical arrangements of spaces to achieve the transition across another medium other than scale. This led to the design work on a structure of semi-permeable boxes, making some transparent to introduce light into the experiment. Developing this with mirrors, I was able to control the light dispersal up through the boxes from a source placed at the bottom. The outcome made for some great photography in the dark room.

3rd Specialism project:

'Canteen, Stride & Plastic Bottles'

A mini project covering a location (College Canteen- Starbucks), a measurement (stride- human motion in a space), and a material (plastic shampoo bottles). Having become increasingly interested in the flow of people through space through further research into public space design, I analysed the high traffic flow of students in the college canteen.​ I built models to break down the space and paths into a coded network of decision and action points, with the intention of reworking the space to increase flow efficiency. I used the bottles to create a modular representation of this network, through which smoke would pass in the flow direction, and built such that one bottle represented one stride measurement in the space.
