EDUCATION

Rose Bowl Staircase SurveyInvolved undertaking a survey of the staircase of the Leeds Beck-ett Rose Bowl to gain a broader understanding of survey require-ments, from construction to spe-cific fixtures and fittings. I gained an insight into how different ma-terials work both in construction and design. Invaluable software skills were learned and developed which can now be applied to all projects.

1

CAD plans and sections with annotations.

‘skinny house’ installation This project investigated innova-tive ways of creating a sequence of spaces through an ‘off plan’ project, through the development of an installation in the form of a staircase. The project developed my knowledge in client research, conceptual spatial form gener-ation, 3D model making using AutoCAD and laser cutting tech-niques to form the final model.

3D model of scheme

Edinburgh fringe venueThis project involved investigat-ing re-purposing and re-mod-elling an existing building to fit a specific performance and re-sponding to parameters estab-lished in a comprehensive design report. The practical design work included utilising 3D workshop facilities to create a beautiful component that responded aes-thetically to the contents of the project.

In this project, I created a space for Aerial Silk performance (where acrobatics are performed using strength and agility sus-pended on fabric).

Conceptual photographs taking by dropping ink into water to represent fabric falling.

I turned the conceptual photographs into 3D work using resin and pigment, set in clear cubic forms and then polished and sanded to create the desired effect.

3D sketch model at a scale of 1:100 to work out the spaces of the scheme appropriately.

A quick photoshop rework to get a better grasp of how it would look before continuing with the scheme.

SketchUp design to show the main part of the scheme

SketchUp design to show the bar area, with specif-ically designed bar, chairs and tables to fit with the existing architectural scheme of the building.

SketchUp design to show the ladies toilets, again with designed vanity in the centre and toilet doors in fitting with the architectural theme.

Conceptual watercolour painting to create atmo-sphere for the scheme, which I then photoshopped onto SketchUp designs to create atmospheric visuals.

Atmospheric visual of main area with watercolour painting added

Atmospheric visual of full view of bar area

Reflected seating and table area creates rectangular inky lighting on the ceil-ing to set the atmosphere in the bar.

Final model of scheme. Inky glass was made using clear perspex sheets that I set pigment into and cut to build the cubes.

Bar details at 1:20, 1:50 and 1:100.

I built moulds at the appropriate sizes for each scale and again set resin and pigment into these. I wanted there to be a relationship with the existing building (a listed building in Edinburgh made of polished stone and concrete), so set plaster underneath in a more ‘broken away’ fashion to show the contrast of old and new.

An atmospheric visual made using Photoshop showing the performance in the main area.
