At P&T, even though I was working in the Interior Department, my main project was a large scale Architectural project based in Pasig City, Manila, Philippines. It is largely a residential project with some spaces for retail and F&B; and has a GFA of 135,040 sqm. As a part of the design architect team for this project, I worked on this project from concept to design development to schematic, and therefore was able to work on many different aspects of the project; including massing, facade concept, internal configuration, ramp design, carpark layouts, coordination with structural engineers, MEP consultants and the local architect, and detail development.I also helped with interior architecture projects; all of which were residential and based in Hong Kong.

Throughout my six weeks working at this firm, I was able to contribute to a RIBA competition for Network Rail. The competition was for the design of a pedestrian bridge that could be applicable to the various different design of train platforms across the country, detailing specifically that ramps and escalators were inappropriate and that the bridges could not be 'flashy' to avoid catching the attention of the train conductors. Initially, our concept was to contemporise the identity of Network Rail, and streamline the construction method and timeline. The design behind these concepts were specifically composed around the reusing of rails, in a system that would allow somewhat customisable panels to be slid on them as part of the facade system, however, as we discovered that the use of the rails as part of the bridge was inefficient (too heavy for the span of the bridge, with a high carbon composition which required very high temperatures to weld it or make holes to bolt it onto the bridge), and therefore our concept of contemporising Network Rail was weakened, we moved on to a new design. Our concepts for the resulting design stemmed from our wish to reduce construction time on-site and therefore reduce delays. We still employed our idea of creating a modular design, which enables most of the bridge to be composed off-site as well as the ability for the bridge to be flexible according to the different requirements, dimensions and specifications of each railway station. We desired our bridge to emit a lightweight and floating effect, where the lift shaft comprises the main structural elements of the bridge, which also allowed for the needing of minimal groundwork (foundations), aligning with our concept. For this design I composed the 3D SketchUp Model, edited the various views (elevations, sections, plans, isometrics) in AutoCad, and rendered the diagrammatic elevations, sections and plans.

I worked for 8 weeks at the Interior Architecture team at Lead 8. I helped to complete various Schematic and Conceptual presentations, which involved surfing Pinterest.com for reference images and developing my Photoshop rendering skills.
