MS Architecture | PennDesign | University of Pennsylvania | [August 2016]

M.Arch | ESALA | University of Edinburgh | 2015

MA (Arch) | ESALA | University of Edinburgh | 2013

I am a highly motivated and conscientious MS in Architecture student at the University of Pennsylvania, due to complete the programme in August 2016, with a strong interest in healthcare architecture. Particular strengths include team collaboration, research skills, time management and organisation, which complement my architectural software skills and design abilities. My previous experiences have helped solidify these skills and enabled me to pursue my interests in practice and research. I am now looking forward to the next step in my career to further advance these abilities and interests.

Masters of Architecture Thesis:

The traditional fishing communities of Mumbai have lost control over their condition. Economic infrastructures, bureaucracy and the increasingly globalised trade network have marginalised the livelihood of the local fisherman. The insertion of architectural propositions into this situation is designed to initiate a reaction within the urban fishing networks of Mumbai and to re-calibrate the social and economic imbalance that exists there. This is achieved through the insertion of six agencies, and their associated infrastructures, into the urban scale, which enable productivity at The Loving Metropolitan Landscape, Series of Enzymatic Territories, Building and Body scales.

Site, Model, Exhibition Photos A series images documenting site surveys in Mumbai, materials experiments with ‘gulal’ pigment powder and ink as well as an aerial photograph of the degree show exhibition of the project.

MA Architecture Third Year Studio Thesis:

If we have a full understanding of the cultural, emotional and architectural value of heritage we can then create sensitive architectural interventions which add value to a place of historic importance and can augment the experience of different users. This project sought to create a multifunctional space in the grounds of the medieval Tantallon Castle on the east coast of Scotland. The plan and elevation both used series of solids and voids to control and mediate the views of the castle available to different users of the programme.

Murphy Philipps Architects; ProCure21 Standard Room Design

Asked to create standard room design for the ProCure21 National Framework. These rooms were to be modelled in a warehouse environment to allow clients to better understand the finishings as well as the sizings of the rooms supplied by P21 providers. Design included bathroom location, lighting and colour and material palettes variations as well as some bespoke furniture design including headboard and patient use storage options.

ULI Hines Student Competion 2016

Entered the ULI Hines Student Competition as part of a multi-disciplinary student team from PennDesign and Wharton. The competition required a redevelopment proposal for several blocks of Midtown Atlanta produced over a two week period in January. Issues included; improving access and use of public transport, provision of pedestrian and cycle thoroughfares and augmenting the Atlanta economy as well as environmental and sustainability concerns.

Architecture Biennale 2014: Scottish Modernists

In the summer of 2014 I was invited to be one of the two student members of Reich + Hall’s team for Scotland’s representation at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2014. I conducted research throughout the summer into Edinburgh’s forgotten Modernist Architecture which was published in a document and circulated by the team at the Biennale in October 2014. At the end of October we held a panel discussion of international contributors as the final event. In January 2015 I sat on a panel at The Lighthouse, Glasgow hosted by Architecture + Design Scotland launching the exhibition of Scotland’s presence at the 2014 Biennale.
