GVI India Construction Work Volunteer ProjectThree week project in Kerala, India, working with a team of 20 volunteers improving the infrastructure of the Pratheeksha Nagar community. This involved construction of new housing units, an extension upon the local community centre and a playground for the local school.
Allison Pike Architects & Designers, CheshireTwo weeks work experience shadowing a selection of the practices architects and interior designers as well as having the opportunity to complete some drawings and site visits. At this younger age, it aided my transition into a more architectural focused education along with developing my appreciation of how a practice and an architects role operates.

College and University have enabled me to balance heavy workloads with extra-curricular activities. I have always been an exceptionally organised person, planning ahead and prioritising tasks (My work at both the Article 25 Architecture Society, sporting commitments, part time work and musical involvements have always coincided with periods of heavy workloads at university and college, to which I have always been able to adapt to.)

Musical InvolvementA keen instrumentalist from the early age of 7 through to present, gaining multiple accolades and awards on a personal level and with multiple ensembles.A personal highlight has been my involvement within the National Children’s & Youth Brass Band’s of Great Britain. Sporting InvolvementA competitive, enthusiastic and valued participant within Stockport Georgians Cricket Club & Marple Rugby Union Football Club. Whilst on a personal level, raising in excess of £2500 has come from successful involvement in ‘Great Manchester 10K Run 2012, 2013’ & ‘The Asics Greater Manchester Marathon 2015’.
Scouting & University Society InvolvementBeyond sporting activities, team participation has continued within the 1st Hazel Grove Scouting Group & the Article 25 Society Committee Member.

TeamworkMultiple group projects throughout university in addition with my participation in many organisations outside of education have enabled my interaction within many team situations, and has always been something to which I have thrived in.
Interpersonal Relationships and CommunicationTime spent working in real ale pubs plus being part of brass banding and rugby environments has allowed me to connect and communicate with a range of people from all manner of social backgrounds and generations. Communication is vital when conveying ideas within educational group work, sporting or musical teams and in the workplace.
Work SampleUnit 1A. 2014 - 2016My 2nd and 3rd years within the school at The University of Nottingham have been spent within Unit 1A under the tuition of Alisdair Russell, Chris McCurtin and Stuart Buckenham. The unit brands itself as one that emerges itself within ‘Forgotten Places’. The over-arching theme of the unit is to consider and to speculate new futures for important sites that have reached the end of their useful lives due to recent socio-economic shifts.
Post-Industrial Transformation Within the context of Tilbury, Grays and Thames Estuary within Thurrock, Essex.
Adaptive Re-Use and Urban Reprogramming In the context of the Elephant and Castle in South London.

The Urban Cores of SuburbiaYr 3. P3
This being my final project at the university it is one that is still in motion. The project was born of a written design brief, with the brief aiming to become the primer for an extensive design project. My brief focused upon the relationship between the Urban realm and the Suburban realm, directly focusing upon London and Grays that exists within its urban reaches. I aimed to highlight the effects of the city on the towns social demographic, and the existence of a community that lives in the shadow of industrial remnants and infectious spread of London.
How do you find an answer for these vast and complex social issues? In short, you cant. However, the project has developed. It aims to extract what make a cities dense and vibrant urban context what is, and sensitively interject some of that into Grays in order to encourage elements of the vibrant ‘cores’ of culture and activity discovered within a city. The project has thus far be one of urban mapping/diagramming and social analysis, however the final image shows the early embry-onic design eventualities of movable cores of architecture. The aim of the project now is to develop an adaptable, respondent and sensitive cultural master-plan within Grays through placed and movable architectures that respond to the analysis and diagramming that has be undertaken.
Transformation Against the IndustrialYr 3. P2
The project aspired to combating two residing issues; the state of Grays beech and, its adjoining mass, the Thames river water. Over the last 20 years, Grays beach front has fallen further and further out of favour with the local population. The deterioration of a once popular urban space comes conjointly with a more published disrepair being that of the Thames river water. A more nationally recog-nised issue does seem to be a major role playing factor in that on a more micro-contextual scale.
The project aims to develop a social, waterfront space; that will enrich the Grays beach front and positively drive the urban space it into life. The project also aims to encourage the interaction of the community within Grays but also in the process of information and education regarding; the issues of the water condition, the waste that is amassed, and processes of cleansing this natural environ-ment
The project formulated as one structure that would hook upon the Grays see wall. Enclosed would be educational teaching spaces, interactive learning environments and a projecting river peer that took its imaging influence from that of the traditional seaside icon.
The Olympic VelodromeYr 3. BIM
Within my third year of education at the University of Nottingham I took an optional module in the process of Building Information Modelling. The module aimed to introduce BIM technologies and to deepen my insight into the theme of ‘Design by Informative Modelling and Digital Making’ by investigating modelling skills across a range of software and then continuing by critiquing that software’s performance. The module also analysed the potential of BIM as a working platform to bridge and integrate structural and environmental analysis and rapid prototyping.
The assessment of the module was to generate a computer information model of a building of our choice, according to the infor-mation we had acquired from a previous case study assignment. The building of choice for myself was the 2012 London Olympic Velodrome, from the work of Hopkins Architects.
Interrupting PerformanceYr 2. P3
The project was introduced as one of conceptual thought and suggestive drawing exercise. The drawing and model demonstrate the possibilities of a public control performance space interjected into the Elephant and Castle shopping centre. The project worked in layers, dealing with transitional movement and site analysis yet experimenting with conceptual modelling/drawing and extensive master-planning techniques.
Locating a PerformanceYr 2. P4
The project continues on from ‘Interrupting Performance’ and aspire to locate a performance and rehearsal space within the urban context that is South London. Working upon a neighbouring site to the previously mentioned shopping centre, the design aimed to create public performance and rehearsal developments conjointly interplaying with the London College of Arts expansion that bound-aries the scheme.The geometry and materiality of the design were strongly influenced by the works of the architect Tadao Ando. The design worked as a series of concrete formed spaces and utilised level changes and submerged architecture, causing minimal disruption to rare park-land space within the dense urban context that is London.
The design would incorporate; a public performance chamber, a publicly open rehearsal chamber and all the necessary changing and backstage utilities as well as a cafe and shop.The typologies main focus was upon dance and circus/trapeze type performance however the spaces would designed with additional performance and adaptation in mind.
