Personal profile

Over the past few years, whilst being a student at University, I have come to decide where I envision myself within the profession of architecture and design. What I have

learnt in this time, the person I have become and the experiences encountered thus far are what prepare me to work professionally as an architectural assistant; and then go on to be an architect and advocate for the architecture and other design

industries to meet the needs of social advocacy, humanitarianism and sustainable development to design and plan for our quickly evolving local and worldwide

communities.

In my second year at the University of Nottingham, I chose to be in Unit S(A)3, a unit headed by John Ramsay (formerly of RJMJ and Hurd Rolland) and Allison Davies

(Groundworks Architects), in which 36 students designed and built a school in Limpopo South Africa where a focus on the vernacular as well as the social legacy

that architecture can contribute to, were themes that highlighted the integrity of the unit. Furthermore the experience of physically building a school, gave me an invaluable

insight and understanding of how a building comes together structurally to form a full building envelope. This understanding of feasibility, construction and assemblage,

as well as the human and social impact of architecture has dictated my continued approach to designing and it is what I hope to explore further in practice.

My third year design thesis project, as part of Unit 3A headed by Rosamund Diamond (Diamond Architects) and Joseph Halligan (Assemble Studio), focused on city

resilience and giving back to a city that in the last century has seen huge economic and social decline but is now at a turning point with jobs and industry returning

to the area. The ambition was to offer an alternative to a piecemeal solution using architecture as key to a new narrative. In the past year, developing my own brief whilst learning closely from Rosamund Diamond, I have really honed my stylistic

approach to architectural design and have become fully confident in my ability to offer my skills both in teamwork and independent work done within and architectural

practice.

This project is situated on the former Spode Factory and was developed

around a brief that explored the revitalising of the Stoke on Trent

manufacturing legacy, an industry which in the last century saw massive

decline but is gradually returning to the area. The purpose of the Manufacturing

institute is to help local young people gain the necessary skills needed for

the influx of industrial jobs being reintroduced in and around Stoke on

Trent and Staffordshire area.

The Spode Manufacturing Institute

Stoke Town, Stoke -On-trent



50m25m0m

The intervention of the institute brings the local community right into

the heart of the Spode factory, The institute includes a manufacturing

hall and teaching suites where young apprentice gain valuable training for

newly created industrial jobs. The institute also offers a jobs bureau, an

exhibition centre and an arcaded cafe open to the whole community, all of

which sit entwined amongst the relics of the former Spode factory to be used as heritage and memorial buildings for

all visitors.

Building 1 - Ground Floor - Job Bureau open to both public and apprentices to offer information on opportunities within the City of Stoke on Trent and the Staffordshire region - Seating Lounge - First Floor - Teaching /Seminar/ Meeting Rooms for addi-tional formal learning and job training

Ultimately this project was approached as a masterplan for the possibility

of what the former factory could potentially become - a city intervention

that celebrates the local history but provides a solution to current socio-

economic issues in the region.

The main entrance into the institute is through the arcaded courtyard.

The courtyard creates a hierarchy through the site and dictates

movement around the community use buildings, the heritage buildings and the

buildings for the apprentices to work with in

The main building on site is the Manufacturing hall where the

apprentices learn trade skills. This building is a steel framed, blue

Staffordshire brick stack clad building with vertically profiled metal cladding

Entwining itself around the existing Spode buildings, this project explores

gesture such as the arcaded cafe that gently transform the two lower floors

of the listed building to more easily adjoin the insertion of the exhibition

centre and the jobs bureau.

The materiality of the Jobs Bureau sets itself apart from the Manufacturing Hall. The idea is that the building is

would be pre-cast brick faced concrete to give pay homage to the surrounding

brick buildings but to be different materially.



Bournes Bank Paint ManufactoryBurslem, Stoke -On-trent

The following is a selection of images from a short project based in the

town of Burslem in Stoke on Trent. The project was for a small manufactory

in the local area with a strong artistic influence. This manufactory produces

artist paints from raw pigment and the floor plan not only follows the

process of paint making but also draws inspiration from works by certain

notable artists such as Richard Serra and Wassilly Kandisky. The ultimate floor plan was decided through an

individual artistic exploration

The following is a selection of imag-es from a group project set in South

Africa and was a cross unit com-petition to design a nursery school where the winning design would be

physically built by all students in the unit. Though this was not the winning design, the final building incorporat-

ed design and structural elements from the other proposals including

this one. The brief was to design two final

classrooms to finish the Limpopo school that had been designed and

built over the previous 2 years

The live build took 4 weeks and is a combination of concrete brick walls and straw bale walls to provide dif-

ferent thermal conditions in specific areas of the building. The building

has a fully enclosed classroom and a semi enclosed multi use learning

space.
