TECHNICAL DETAIL1. Double Glazed Glass in a 2mm copper frame (to match inner wall)2. 5mm sheet of brushed copper, 2.5mm adhesive, 12.6mm plasterboard, 70mm PU-Rigid Insulation, 180mm reinforce pre cast concrete panels, 3mm vapour barrier, 2.5mm mortar, 3mm concrete render3. Gutter system runs through the nooks and 3. Gutter system runs through the nooks and cracks of the design to drain away any water build up due to the form and the rain should run down the left hand side more prominently as all panes of glass are slanted downwards south4. 330x400x30mm Steel I-beam which forms a stuctural grid attached to the column grid below stuctural grid attached to the column grid below to support the shear weight of the light wells from above

Firstly is double skin façade system used in an office design. The second is a roof system, that externally is about an externally is about an uneven surface, grabbing the attention of those arriving on the new HS2 line but internally brings large quantities of light, reflecting off brushed reflecting off brushed copper surfaces to diffuse the light in a non-confrontational manner.The third system is looked The third system is looked at from above and below, so it is designed from all angles. On either side of the concrete beams are covered in mosaic glass patterns to capture the patterns to capture the sun’s rays and set the tone of the atmosphere below but to potentially spontaneously glisten above. The final system is for committee rooms that need a constant source of general light but source of general light but I felt the space is more about discussion than window location so the light is reflected from polished concrete curves, illuminating in a diffused manner below.

DIGITAL DESIGNThe parametric design is produced by The parametric design is produced by writing a script into 3DS Max Design. Principally, I scripted an attractor point with a radial effect. An object is modified into a NURBS Surface and the attractor placed nearby. The at-tractor changes the height of the Weft of the weave in regard to the distance of the weave in regard to the distance between the Weft and the attractor. The following designs are a product of the script in use. Architecturally, the script could be used to form reacting facades, new parametric shapes and structural design

With the University, I spent 3 weeks in the summer, as part of vertical studio, designing and constructing a building made from recycled materials. Based at an eco-friendly bee farm in Pembrokeshire, West Wales, the building housed two “Thundertrunks” composting toilets and a solar shower composting toilets and a solar shower orientated to face the beach in the valley orientated to face the beach in the valley below. Salvaging from skips, timber yards and road fly-tipping, we utilised the materials properties and elements. Only using nails, due to a lack of electrical supply on site, the building is held together though its stacked structural arrangement creating a robust shell. It is incredible the amount of robust shell. It is incredible the amount of waste the construction industry disposes of each year and this project put that into perspective. The project was recognised by the Architects Journal (http://www.ajbuild-ingslibrary.co.uk/projects/display/id/7069).

Digital Module analysing Roath Basin at Cardiff Bay. Site analysis, to inform a larger redevelopment masterplan, stemming from the notion of non-places and how they could potentially form a new urban fabric. The non-places were categorised from larger open desolate land to small intimate spaces between buildings to seasonal spaces. I understood that sometimes we as architects can forget about the smaller, seasonal spaces and therefore something that has influenced my design since.
Conceptual thinking is something I thrive at, the early stages of design that lead into the constructional ideas. Above is the manifesto I wrote regarding a project in Neath, Wales, that utilises the railway station and tracks bring education to areas of wales that don’t access to literacy amenities.
