Writer’s Retreat
Writer’s Retreat took us to Cramond in the north of Edinburgh
where we investigated the area and did a variety of research.
We then were tasked with proposing a temporary residence for
a writer. My site was on a little island in the middle of the water
linked by a proposed bridge. I focussed on creating three distinct
zones within the retreat for a solitary person.

Material World was a good opportunity to explore materials

Each material has certain qualities and best for use in different
projects. Each week, we were tasked with designing different
things in different materials. We also had the opportunity to get
involved with workshops to really grasp the materials available.

For ‘Strangely Familiar’ we were tasked with designing a
residential dwelling but with a twist. I designed a home for a
chocolatier in Forthview, Edinburgh. It was an exciting time of
continual design processes and redesigns. I worked continuously
in plan and section to learn from mistakes to refine the
architectural design. I felt like this was a successful first year
project and helped set a good foundation for later years.

The first four weeks of model making, thinking and reading was
really successful in getting my head back in to architecture and
to think about things differently. The forms, spaces and principles
that I explored will be key to my up and coming project on creating
an architecture school. I intend to use the models as a starting
point in my strategy, particularly week 3’s models as they have
architectural strengths in their form in my opinion.

Development
Over the next couple of weeks was continual work to redesign
the programme of the architecture school to improve the overall
project. We worked well as a team and I took charge in directing
the collaborative design sessions that we had. We tried to find a
common concept and bring in our individual designs to the final
building, working from Shafiq’s initial designs. We worked together
to share the task of drafting, researching and creating final
models. It was a very difficult task to work together for the first
time.
Shafiq’s design proposal was deemed the most suitable for the
Market Street site. Incorporating the adjacent, older building on

Architecture School
The main ideas behind our design for a new Architecture school
on Market Street, Edinburgh, centre around the central themes
of accessibility and transparency of Architecture to the general
public. Key to the design is reusing the old car garage next door to
the site and creating a new, purpose built wing adjacent to
the City Art Centre. Connecting the old and the new has been of
interest to us and we have sought ways to create visual interaction
and difference between the two. Heavy structure contasts with
a more lightweight addition, divided by a key atrium space that
is set-back and seperates the two. Different atmospheres are
created through the change between new and old. An exisiting
pattern of garage doors has also been retained for the facade
of the new structure. Designing an inviting space has been All above:

interesting but also posed challenges about how to limit public Ground to roof
movement throughout the building. We have created a
welcoming ground floor, with exhibition space and cafe-bar with a
conference room for visiting guests. From the first floor upwards,
studios, computer labs and crit spaces are only accessible with
validated cards. We use the positioning of the main staircase to be
prominent as a design feature but in a place that makes it seem
not too open to visitors. Visual as well as physical barriers are
important in the ‘Open Architecture’ project.

The site we have chosen is to the North-East of George Square.
Here, the building is safe from much of the wind in the area behind
existing trees and shrubbery. We have designed to take advantage
of South sunlight and to protect the building from South-

Rome was the site of our library project. To inspire my designs, I took forms
and cues from the initial stage of the semester when we were model making.
Alongside this, I looked at the existing conditions of Plaza San Cosimato in
Trastevere where my building would be. I wanted to create an open architecture
that can be fun and easily interacted with. I devised a central core building.

Project Introduction
‘A Home for Elderly Creatives’ is a project that seeks
to tackle isolation and to create a sustainable
community for elderly residents in the spa town
Biarritz, France. For creatives and artisans, giving up
their passion and trade is simply not an option, but
being able to retire to a more peaceful and relaxed
environment is plausible.

Corporate Identity
I intended to rebrand Fundaciòn Juan March with a simple but
recognisable identity. I used a strong symbol for the logo by taking
inspiration from the silhoutte of the institution’s iconic building.
Creating visual mock ups and final presentation pieces was a
great experience for me. I was able to learn how to create an
interactive PDF for the first time and take some new knowledge
from the course in to my design course.

Life Drawing
The life drawing section of the course was fast-paced and each
piece of work was constructed within very limited time frames as
dictated by the tutor. This was my first time working at such speed
and the trial and error methods used led to some interesting
results. This trial and error approach is beneficial to take through
to other pieces of work.
