Project 01: Grunekreuz - West BerlinDescription: A masterplanning project that focused on engineering, policy and infrastructure, in West Berlin that responded to population displacement, employment and educational demands, and a lack of future planning to break cycle of gentrification and decay. The underused overpasses of Westkreuz which divide the ICC Messe and a number of neighbourhoods, would be re-purposed as elevated, living causeways where linear villages could develop, including homes, parks, schools and shops. This would be centred around an educational and industrial institution at the heart of the mesh of roads, creating a new thriving community, that would grow along these routes into surrounding areas, reconnecting and reinvigorating local spaces.Project 02: Cultivating Heritage - Reivaulx AbbeyDescription: An intervention in Reivaulx Abbey to restore life to the ruins. Tracing patterns of use before its dissolution whereby monks cultivated the landscape in carefully arranged and run granges and farms, a seed vault and horticultural science centre will be sited in the heart of the ruins, providing a contrasting programme to the ancient stone enclosure. Mirroring patterns of the past, scientist will operate in the ruin, cultivating plants of the British Isles and storing them for safe keeping and research in partnership with the Millennium Seed Vault. Project 03: Research - Fabricating KnowledgeDescription: Research project that sought to define how we create and retain knowledge in architectural education. This research was conducted in the context of the eponymous workshop, where thinking met creation of artifacts, physical repositories of knowledge of a process. This resulted in a number of implementations in the workshop to make use of this research. To be published in Plus Journal in 2015.
