St Ethelburga's has a long and dramatic history. Contextually, it has gone from being the tallest building on Bishopsgate, to the smallest in the space of 150 years.
The building was largely destroyed in the 1990s IRA bombing of Bishopsgate, but was restored despite loud calls for its demolition. The restoration is honest, with old and new contrasting strikingly throughout the building, giving it a unique presence.
The building is now used as an inclusive, multi-faith centre with the goal to promote peace for all. A modern take on the religious building.
Being situated in the City of London, where the use of glass is synonymous with towers and big business, I felt that to remodel St Ethelburga's using this material would be an interesting way to redefine it's meaning in the context.
The artistic use of glass has historically intertwined with religious architectural settings. With it's unique religious mission, I thought that a reconsidered use of glass and colour would be appropriate.
The use of broken glass was a response to the dramatic destruction and rebuilding of St Ethelburga's. I considered artistic precedents which made use of this medium for inspiration.
Main Structure : Broken Glass
Roof Structure : Laser Cut Greyboard
Roof Cover : Thin Fabric
As the unit considers how materiality makes up the topography of the city, I will reconsider the idea of a 'Material Topography' on a micro scale, looking at how each material is made up of its own individual topographies.
Each shard of broken glass takes its contours from natural, organic processes. Specific, incalculable pressures and weaknesses cause it to take an irrepeatable, individual form.
The Topography of broken glass creates unique reflections and refractions as light passes through.

Each person in the unit was asked to choose one building within the City of London District, and to reconsider its materiality. The medium of model making was to be used to create new possibilities, which enabled us to redefine what that building might mean in its context.
The choice of St Ethelburga's was as a contrast to the surrounding buildings, which are mostly modern and heavily structured.
P01 - Material Unprecedent
3 elements inspired my use of glass for the remodelling of St Ethelburga's:

Sau Pedro Das Aguias My chosen site
TabuaçoThe Douro Valley Region
The dramatic landscape of the Douro Valley was a central focus for Project 03. The historical hermitage 'Sau Pedro Das Aguias', faces east, against the grain of the topography of the site, and has an entrance
500mm from the cliff face. The building is hidden from all but those who come with the intent to find it, but once visible, its forced orientation has a dramatic
effect on the landscape.
Our challenge was to work both with the topography itself, and with the historical and architectural
connotations of this building.siTe
Porto and the Douro Valley provided the setting for Project 03. The brief was to design a hermitage for 6 people, with 1 communal area, 6 individual bedrooms, and a secluded space to be used by all individually at separate times.
The historical clash of cultures along the Douro, with Muslims traditionally to the south, and Catholics to the north, created a unique architectural tradition, with Christian hermitages and churches taking on forms and details associated with Islam, and vice versa.I developed my brief to incorporate
religion, and explored how it manifests itself through architecture, symbolically and practically.

'a ToPograPhical Journey'
The journey between the small hermitage 'Sau Pedro das Aguias', and my site was an important consideration. The idea was to create an emotional journey, by focusing
the attention away from the site before taking the participant back into it.

1. Communal Space
2. Individual Bedrooms
3.Isolated Space
Gives access from bottom of the cliff to the top, a milestone in the journey from Sau Pedro, into the hermitage.
It's planar roof is inhabited with a small garden and communal space which brings the separated people together, with views over the whole site.
Splayed and separated in height to remove each person from social interactions, and visual connections with the others.
The spaces are minimal and connect with the nature of the site.
Complete isolation, a step further than the individual cells.
One space isolates the inhabitant acoustically from the site, whilst the other removes them visually.
This allows the users to come to terms with the real worth and meaning of their sensory interactions with their environment.

St Ethelburga's immediate context is dominated by the looming 100 Bishopsgate, which was under construction at the time of the project. This was to be a very significant factor in determining certain environmental and symbolic elements of the design.
I was instinctively protective of the humble St Ethelburga's, and sought to retain and enhance it's unique identity.
P04 - Material TopographyFollowing on from P01, we were asked to build vertically, expanding on our chosen building. The buildings had to provide space for 4 uses: Public space; A
home for the fictional client, a mathematician called MT; spaces for mathematical research; and an extension of the existing buildings use.
Having chosen the smallest building in the unit, my challenge was to expand quite dramatically, to house the programme, whilst considering the heritage of the building with sensitivity. The urban context, and 'material topography' of the city, were the critical drivers for this project, and therefore rigorous
site analysis was essential.
The concept for the form of the building was a response to a number of considerations which had become important to the project during the development of the brief:
1. The building needed a large expansion, due to both the program, and as a response to 100 Bishopsgate, to preserve an identity.
2. The idea to have a form which 'Wrapped' the building, was symbolic of the protection of the identity of St Ethelburga's, and the preservation of it's peaceful mission.
3. The proposal of inhabited spaces at the edges of the site, and open spaces in the middle, was to create a space which invited people into it, with an atmosphere of inclusion.

Light studies were essential given the local context. Large towers cast
shadows throughout the day, and the open central space was often in shadow. The
natural daylighting and glazing had to be maximised in the right areas to balance
this effect.
Given the nature of the form, a considered structural strategy was very important, to counter heavy wind pressure on the side of
the building.
It was important to contrast the exterior and interior surfaces materially, to enhance the change in environment from being outside on the street, to being in
the public interior.
I was interested in how to make the facade itself a public space, and produced a concept which provided seating, as well as improving the structural stability of the form as a whole.

University - Y2 - P01 - BriefcaseThe task was to develop a tool to fit in the space of a briefcase, which would be used to map or analyse Somerleyton
Estate, in Brixton, London.
An interest in the crossover of social and technological aspects of communication led me to a study of wireless networks in the area, and I considered a number of ways of mapping and displaying them before deciding on my final
concept.

University - Y2 - P02 - AlmereAfter an eye-opening trip to the architecturally unrestricted region of Poort, Almere, on the outskirts of Amsterdam,
we were asked to design a community space, to serve the growing neighbourhood.
The choice of a radio station followed on from my initial observations of technological means of communication and community connection.
The site I chose was at a central location between the 3 main neighbourhoods of Homeruskwatier, Columbuskwatier and Europakwatier, and at the intersection of a park and canal that intersect the three.
The design was based on the idea of a welcoming and open public space, with practical and effective studio spaces, and a technological focus on sustainability and acoustics.Poort, Almere
Homeruskwatier
Columbuskwatier
Europakwatier
Cascadepark (west)
Line of Canal
The radio station will be situated between the 3 major districts of the Poort area: Homerusk-wartier, Columbuskwatier and Europakwatier.
The proximity to the wider community will mean a richer experience and more variety in what is brought to the station.
The station lies on the crossing point between Casdcadepark and the canal line which both run completely through the site providing multiple lines of sight to the open space outside Poort from a position which the newly built environment almost completely surrounds.
The roughly east to west direction of the canal line means that for a large part of the year the building recieves sunlight for as long as any building in the dis-trict.
This will make the site a natural meeting point throughout the day.

University - Y2 - P03 - BrixtonThe unit was asked to use our findings from Project 01, and observations of the site, to develop a design for a community space.
The natural progression of my projects led me through ideas surrounding the development and fragmentation of communities, the hidden and subversive aspects of communication and the role of technology in these areas. Within the context of London, these ideas led me to a consideration of Pirate Radio
Stations, and the spaces, communities and culture which has developed around them.
The project aimed to create a space which at once celebrates the culture and achievements of pirate radio stations in London and Brixton, whilst using its lessons to bring out and physically connect the musical community which resides beneath the surface within the estate.

RS Architects - 17 Camlet WayThe brief we were given was for the renovation and front extension to a large house in Hadley Wood. I was given the
role of leading the design process, and went through a number of design iterations with the client, before settling on an agreed proposal, which was granted planning permission with no objections or extra recommendations.
Due to the success of our initial design and a positive client relationship, we were also asked to take on a number of interior design elements, including the renovation of the existing kitchen and dining room, with new cupboards, all of
which went from initial design, to completion, within 1 and a half months.
Whilst still at the practice, I took the project through building control and tender processes, and started the work on site with contractors, before handing over the project.

RS Architects - The Cottage, 238 Walmer RoadThe client came to the practice with a small distinctive site in Kensington, which was in a very bad state, having
been vacant for a number of years.
Our proposal was to renovate and extend the building, while keeping the essential character of the building in order to maintain it's role as a definitive nodal point in the neighbourhood.
My role was to take the project through it's initial design phase, and planning. We received positive feedback from the pre-planning phase, and I subsequently oversaw the appointment of a number of consultants to provide various
reports and analysis.

RS Architects - 31 Kenerne DriveI was lucky enough to come to the practice at a time when the building we worked in was being extended, and my first major task was to take this project through building control and to provide assistance to the contractors during con-struction. This gave me invaluable on site experience on a daily basis, and allowed me to develop an understanding of
the way that positive and clear communication helps the construction process to run smoothly.

RS Architects - 7A Vivian AvenueI was asked to take this new build, code assessed building through the Building Control process, and to tender. Work-ing closely with our code assessor was an incredibly informative experience for me, and dealing with the multiple reg-ulations and various consultants which come with this kind of project was a challenge which gave me a deep insight
into the technical design process, and how these elements can contribute towards sustainable design.
