MEASURE

PRINTMAKER’S STUDIO

Explorative insight into a space with personal attachment. My mother’s art studio at home, originally a conservatory yet has been adapted for her use as a printmaker.

Photographed is her at work, the enormous printingpress, around which the arrangement of space is orientatedand the fantastic light the space manages to capture.

ARTIST’S PRINTS

Part of my subjective analysis I assessed at the space through the medium of printmaking and looking at the physical process of making prints.

Photographed is a collograph plate being inked up, waiting to be put through the printing press (top left), and a comparison of a cleaned plate with the ink remains (top) and a final print looking at the textures this process produces (above).

SITE

Elevations

Within our site analysis I digitally put together an elevation of the main view (above) combining a drawing and a photo panorama. As well as this, a photo panorama of the busy main road that lay next to the site. (left)

SUSTAINABLE HOUSING

DESIGN

Digitally manipulated drawing of our housing design for 12-15 homes.

CONCEPT BOARD

Driving design concept was an intergration and encouragment of a sustainable lifestyle through food growth.

From planting a seed to eating a meal.

FACTS AND FIGURES

Research into these driving ideas to identify facts and figures in order to assess if our scheme was feesible lead to these representations.

Personal manifesto of keys ideas for designing my individual dwelling.

AXONOMETRIC

Further development lead to this axonometric to display how my housing unit worked and where my individually designed dwelling lay.

DETAILS

Drawings representing how particular details such as a sliding window with access to a herb bed (left) and louvres providing shading and privacy worked (above).

STAIR

Within Architectural Technology asked to create using 3DS max a staircase that complied with part K of the building regulations.

Thank you.
