the MonasterY MUseUM

THIS THESIS PROJECT EXAMINED THE WAY IN WHICH A RUIN IS SOMETHING IN PROCESS, BELONGING TO THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE AND CONSEQUENTLY IS AN ASPECT OF TEMPORALITY.

THE WORK OF INTERVENTION IS THEREFORE BASED ON ANALYSIS, OF THOUGHT AND OF CONTEXT. NO WORK SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED WITHOUT KNOWING ALL THAT THERE IS TO KNOW OF THE HOST BUILDING, MATERIALLY, SPATIALLY, HISTORICALLY, ARCHAEOLOGICALLY AND ANECDOTALLY.

RUINS HAVE BEEN LEFT SEPARATED FROM BOTH THE HISTORICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL CONTEXT IN WHICH THEY ARE LOCATED. THIS PROJECT TAKES A RADICAL EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE OF THE CHURCH IN THE ATHEIST CAPITAL CITY OF EUROPE AND PROVIDES NEW MEANING AND FUNCTION TO AN UNUSED RUINED MONASTERY. THROUGH BUILDING OVER THE ARCHAEOLOGY AND THE RUIN, THE VITAL CONTINUANCE OF THE OLD IS PROTECTED BY THE NEW BUILDING.

THE URBAN HOUSING PROJECT LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MIXED USE BUILDING WITHIN THE MERCHANT CITY, A VIBRANT AND AFFLUENT AREA IN THE HEART OF GLASGOW.

THROUGH COMBINING HIGH END RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS WITH AN ART PURVEYOR AND OTHER BOUTIQUE RETAIL SPACE ON THE GROUND FLOOR, OFFICE SPACE, A GYM AND A ROOF TOP BAR AND RESTAURANT, THE PROJECT SEEKS TO FIND NEW WAYS OF PROVIDING HIGH END DEVELOPMENTS FOR OUR CITY CENTRES.

GLAsGoW, sCoTLAND

THE APARTMENTS ARE TYPICALLY THREE BED FLATS, WORKING OVER TWO FLOORS TO PROVIDE LARGE BALCONIES FOR ALL RESIDENCIES. USING PROPORTIONS DERIVED FROM THOSE FOUND IN TRADITIONAL SCOTTISH TENEMENT FLATS, EACH DWELLING BENEFITS FROM LARGE FLOOR TO CEILING HEIGHTS, AS WELL AS WELL PROPORTIONED ROOMS.

ComIC BooK

IN RUINS, TIME BECOMES LOST AND ARCHITECTURE BECOMES ARTEFACT. VARCHITECTURE BECOMES TRANSIENT AND VISITORS ARE LEFT TO IMAGINE THE REST OF THE STORY - RUINS ALLOW OUR IMAGINATION TO RUN WILD; PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE COLLIDE INTO OTHER THOUGHTS OF STATES, CONDITIONS, AND INHABITATION.

THE COMIC FOLLOWS THE STORY OF AN ARCHAEOLOGIST WHO FINDS HIMSELF LOST WITHIN THE RUINS, EXCAVATING ARTEFACTS OF THE PAST BEFORE DISCOVERING HIDDEN PASSAGES, CAVES AND TUNNELS.

KNIGHTsBrIDGE, LoNDoN

THIS NEW DEVELOPMENT, ON THE CORNER OF HANS PLACE AND HERBERT CRESCENT, COMPRISES 13 LUXURY APARTMENTS AND DRAWS ITS DESIGN INSPIRATION FROM THE RICHLY DETAILED ROSE RED BRICK BUILDINGS WHICH LINE THE GARDEN SQUARE, AND WHICH FORM THE CHARACTER OF THE CONSERVATION AREA. THE NEW BUILDINGS ARE A CONTEMPORARY INTERPRETATION OF THE LOCAL VERNACULAR WITH FINELY DETAILED BRICK CARVINGS TO THE FACADES. THE PATTERN IS A MODERN TAKE ON THE ELABORATE DECORATIONS FOUND ON SURROUNDING VICTORIAN BUILDINGS. THE BUILDINGS FACING HANS PLACE IS DIVIDED INTO FOUR SEPARATE ELEMENTS EACH WITH AN INDIVIDUAL ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENT TO PRESERVE THE HISTORIC URBAN GRAIN OF FOUR INDIVIDUAL HOUSES COMPLETING THIS TERRACE. HOWEVER, BY EMPLOYING THE SAME MATERIALS AND BUILDING TECHNIQUES, THE BUILDINGS ARE TIED TOGETHER TO ENSURE THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO THE OVERALL CONSERVATION AREA.

WEsTmINsTEr, LoNDoN

THE CONSENTED TOWER AT WEST END GREEN LIES IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THE TALL BUILDINGS OF PADDINGTON BASIN, PROVIDING HIGH-END RESIDENTIAL AND HOTEL ACCOMMODATION. SMALLER BUILDINGS PROPOSED ALONGSIDE THE TOWER ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE TOWNSCAPE OF MAIDA VALE USING A CONTEMPORARY VERSION OF THE MANSION BLOCK TYPOLOGY. THESE BLOCKS, PROVIDING PRIVATE AND AFFORDABLE RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS SET AROUND A CENTRAL COURTYARD GARDEN, HAVE GLAZED PROJECTING BAYS GROUPED WITHIN THE MIDDLE THREE FLOORS OF THE SANDSTONE FACADE.
