Own Work: Half Way Show May 2014

 Images from my work at the Chelsea College of Art MA Interior Spatial Design Interim Show May 2014. I displayed the 'Trellick Tower x King's Holt' model, as well as 'Historical Cartography' from which it was derived.

Own Work: London Historical Cartography Version 1-3 March 2014

 Historical Cartography was created by compiling historic maps of the London region, which began with the first arrival of the Romans. This was then blended with local knowledge, archeological surveys, area/street names, road and sewer routes to create a fairly precise map of what the area could have looked like in a time around 200BC, when much of the land would have been largely as it was before iron age settlers had began to alter the land with large scale agriculture. This was done in order to create a true opposite to rationalised architecture and the two were juxtaposed with each other in my future models.

It is worth noting that due to the time constrictions this map was unable to be completed using all sources. The next stage would be to incorporate studies on soil types which would alter the sizing of the forests and marshes. I will do this at a later date and create version 4, which I will take into further study and likely come out with several more refinements.

Own Work: Trellick Tower Proun February 2014

A final quick El Lissitzsky experiment into Proun making before I move on with the project: I used the basic elements to the Design of Trellick Tower and it's concepts and arranged them free floating in space. Although aesthtically pleasing the design became overly systematic in it's method which didn't open any doors to new concepts or experimentation, just a way to interept the design concept of the building.

Own Work: Contradictions In Concrete Book January 2014

For an upcoming crit I have decided to combine elements of my work on the concrete blocks and the elements as tools photography into a book. The book takes inspiration once again from El Lisstizsky as a running theme of perverting the modernist era with natural forces. I also played around with creating prouns for each element as an accompaniment.

Own Work: Elements As Tools Photography January 2014

Based on El Lissizsky's photographic work of his tools as an architect I decided to experiment in the remaking of this but with the concept of nature as an architects tools. This is based on the elements of entropy derived earlier in the concrete block experiments.
