Sketch of the bronze statue made by the Italian painter and sculptor Andrea del Verrocchio. Made between 1473 and 1745 the statue was represented by me in 2009 as part of my art module to demonstrate sketching skills and ability to reproduce shadows and contrast.

The sketches represent a balcony on the facade of one of the Cardiff University buildings and an eaves detail on Windsor Place. Belonging to the work done in my first year at Cardiff Metropolitan University, these pencil sketches were aimed at repre-senting the variety of architectural features that characterises Cardiff.

CAIROLIVE-WORK SPACELocated in the centre of the renowned city of Cairo the design merges two aspects of life usually separated. The space is subdivided in three areas designated for private family use, guest entertainment and work. The separation is influenced by the local tradition of not allowing strangers in the more private areas of the house; but the more modern approach to this design does not seclude people within four walls. The open plan area on the ground floor maintains in fact privacy by allowing people to catch glimpses of the other rooms without opening completely to them.

Thermal MassThe location’s climate sets the perfect scenario to benefit from the energy created by thermal mass: all solid walls consisting of rendered hollow-core clay blocks are therefore positioned South.

EXHIBITION SPACEA design kept as simple as possible not to compete with the complexity of the art pieces. Bare materials such as concrete and steel arranged to create simple shapes make a perfect host for the art of Chris Natrop. The young Los Angeles based artist focuses his inspiration in creating large drawings, paper cut-outs and installations.

CONCEPT SimplicityCardiff 2011

FACTORY-OFFICE SPACEThe steel framed building is kept pretty simple for what con-cerns its structure but it is brought to life by the addition of a light cladding facade designed to hide the monotonous ap-pearance of the roof and to give movement to the facade.The constant movement of light reflected by the cladding gives a different appearance to the factory each time of the day and the glazed wall which opens to the main reception hall gives lightness to the otherwise heavy wall and makes the factory look overall more approachable.

PEN-Y-FANVISITOR CENTRE

Set in the middle of stunning views offered by the surrounding hills, the visitors centre faces Pen-y-Fan, the highest peak in Wales. The building sits between the main road cutting through the National Park and a slope leading to the stream at the feet of Pen-y-Fan. The visitor centre offers changing facilities for bikers and hikers at the lower level, where the building links with the path to the top of the peak. On the upper level other facilities can be found: an educational area designed for groups of young pupils to learn about the site and a cafe’ area provided with a small kitchen to accommodate visitors on their trip.Both in summer and winter there is the possibility to make the most of the views from the inside of the large glazing areas or from the balcony facing the peak.

PEN-Y-FANVISITOR CENTRE

SOCIAL RESIDENCEHORSENSSituated on one of the main roads leading into the town of Horsens, Sonderbrogade offers an interesting plot surrounded by traditional brick buildings and Sonderbro Kirke. The prob-lems created by the proximity of a big road are solved by the subdivision of the plot in three main areas running along the site and providing more and more privacy as the residents walk towards the back of the plot itself, designed as private amusement area for the residents. Moreover, this area is kept more quiet by its position behind the buildings which partially absorb noise coming from the road.Traditional elements such as bricks constitute a feature of the building that was intended to fit with the surroundings provid-ing innovative features at the same time. Integration with the site was also the main stream followed for the layout of the plot, which maintains the paths leading to the residences situated below the plot itself.

Dating back to the 14th Century, Boller Castle is one of the pieces of history belonging to the small town of Horsens, Den-mark. Now in disuse the listed building offers vast spaces both internally and externally with big rooms and a park lead-ing to the fjord in which the town is situated.The proposal includes the reconstruction in cortene steel and glass of the three towers where originally positioned; and the transformation of the internal spaces in a gallery, five luxury residences, a restaurant/bar and offices.

CARDIFF BAYARTS CENTRE

Cardiff 2015

The new Arts Centre will be a high quality multi-purpose building providing facilities not yet available in the proximity and therefore offering the public a wider range of entertainement in the develop-ing area. The new building will be located in Cardiff Bay, on the plot available between the KPMG building and the Atradius building on Britannia Quay. The centre will spread the dynamic feel already perceptible in the waterfront area to the side facing Roath Basin, until now used mainly as office location.

Facilities incorporated in the building include a small theatre designed for small school performances, dance rooms, music room, two exhibition areas, a cafe’ serving also small meals and refreshments, two areas designated to teaching and a small instal-lation workshop.All rooms are provided with high sound insulating glass as they will all be ‘open’ to the public dwelling in other spaces and could cause considerable noise levels.
