Vessels of Penrhyn: A Tidal landscape for Rising Sea Levels Measuring 1980x180x342mm This model was a lot of work post the submission of this project for my masters degree. Made of CNC Chemiwood and 3D printed components, it was made for display at within the British Pavilion at the 2020/2022 Dubai world Expo Scroll through to see the process of making this model, from March project, to digital maquette, to construction. 🤞🏼it gets back to the U.K. 🇬🇧 - - - - - - - @archisource @arch_grap @archiboom @thearchitecturestudentblog @archezinternational @archue_ @the_best_new_architects @thearchiologist #architecture #architecturestudent #architecturemodel #architecturemodels @design.alters @toffuco @architecture_scholar @models_architecture @dmu.create3d

The Walberswick Cabin Another drawing from the competition. Showing the construction, utilities, and inhabitation of the building. Located within the county of Suffolk along the south-east of England is the quaint village of Walberswick. A place, well-known for its raw beauty and being a part of the coastal area lovingly named “The Black-shore” after its characteristic black fisherman’s huts. Since the death of its local fishing industry, it has become a relaxed seaside holiday village appealing to the middle and upper class for holidays who reminisce of their childhood seaside holidays. Due to the fondness of Walberswick for England’s wealthier half, the area has undergone ‘seaside gentrification.’ Locals are being displaced and out-priced by those wealthier and their desire for a holiday home. The cheapest properties are now out of the price range of locals, and fishing huts have been converted to beach huts being rented out at extortionate prices selling in the region of £80,000. Therefore the purpose of this micro-home is to be an aesthetic, self-sufficient, and in-keeping solution for these issues creating a more affordable living option in one of the most beautiful parts of the English Coast. @archisource @arch_grap @archi.boom @architecturefactor @axo_madness @barchitecture.studio @archezinternational #archezinternational @archue_ @the_best_new_architects @thearchiologist @littleblackbox.ny #thearchitecturestudentblog #axo_madness #letshowitbetter #illustrarch #architecture #architecturestudent

A Graduation tower design for slow natural seaweed drying. As the seaweed dries salt water is evaporate by the air elevating the the smell of the sea adding to the feeling of seaside nostalgia at the site of New Penrhyn, a replacement village for the soon to be flooded Fairbourne. This method is to mainly be used to dry tougher larger strains of seaweed used for either eating, cosmetics, bio plastics, or biofuels. The byproducts of this process included natural sea salt which is deposited on the remaining seaweed and the trough below. @marchitecture.lsa @unit2_lsa_dmu @barchitecture.studio @design.alters @archihoot @archisource @archi.boom @axo_madness @archezinternational @littleblackbox.ny @creative_architecture_students @theyoungarchs @illustrarch

The idea of re-imagining a place by it's story, from a generic road sign, to a village entrance. ”Around an unsuspecting corner off the road leading you to form the Mountains and along the coast, is the village sign of Fairbourne. The villages name embossed in black metalwork above two matt steel cylinders, each inline with the edge of the sign, emerging out of the overgrown shrubbery. Shrubbery so dense and overgrown that it appears it is ready to engulf the sign the moment man stops taming it back down.” @barchitecture.studio @design.alters @marchitecture.lsa @archezinternational @archisource @archi.boom @archue_ @the_best_new_architects #letsshowitbetter @axo_madness @axonometrics @littleblackbox.ny @thearchiologist @arch_inked

Site isometric. Following the demolition of the Foundry and the Red Gallery my project aims to provide a location for artists being forced out of Shoreditch due to the commercialisation of its inherent artistic culture. - - - - @archisource @arch_grap @archi.boom @architecturefactor @axo_madness @barchitecture.studio @archezinternational #archezinternational @archue_ @the_best_new_architects @thearchiologist @littleblackbox.ny #thearchitecturestudentblog #narrativepractice #axo_madness #letshowitbetter #illustrarch
