I’ve always been drawn towards taking on complex problems and strive to find and propose elegant and unique solutions. To me, every new project is a chance to meet new people and engage in new learning opportunities. Each step taken through my career in both education and practice has expanded my understanding of how architecture can have an impact on how we behave; move around; exist and co-exist within spaces and how we interact. Working at different scales, I have embraced the beauty in both the detail, in terms of materiality, technology and techtonics as well as the larger scale components such as landscaping and external spaces which have a wider influence on the community and public realm.
About Thesis:
This project sets out to create a gallery building that through the way it displays artefacts,
helps shape their visitors’ sense of the student life and encompass the broad spectrum of
human experience.
The cultural institution – the archive, the library, the museum – has traditionally constructed
individual identity through the gathering, documentation, conservation and dissemination of
artefacts. The original approach to human history was exploring past experiences through
the objects that defined them. Artefacts can help us visualise the past and see complex
events as something tangible or relatable, but we can use the same approach to tell our
personal histories as well.
The central aspiration of the design is to create an environment that celebrates University
life and promotes the work of the University to all who use and visit the campus.
