RUDIN HOUSE
Module: Integrated Design & Communications
Year: 1
Rudin House is a Case study project located in Leyman, Upper Rhine, France.
All drawings for the project were carried out by hand, using a drawings board, scale ruler, pens (of multiple line weights), and set
squares.
The aim of this project was to provide an introduction into technical drawing. The use of hand drawing provided me with the basic
understandings of how to carry out drawings, without having to comprehend the complexity of drawing on a computer software.
The brief for the project required; four elevations, three floor plans, a section, and a 1:50 scale model of the case study project.

SERPENTINE PAVILION
Module: Integrated Design & Communications
Year: 1
The Serpentine Pavilion is a case study project situated in
Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, London UK.
SKETCHUP MODEL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW5sVwgi38w
The drawings produced for this project were all done using
AutoCAD Architecture, and a 3D model using Sketchup and
Lumion rendering software.
The aim of the project was to develop key skills using the listed
software's and became an introduction into using them for
architectural purposes.
The brief for the project required; a basement plan, ground floor
plan, elevations, section through the structure, a fly through
video of the sketchup model, and various rendered images to
display a realistic sample.

HOUSE EXTENSION
Module: Technology & Design Studio
Year: 1
The 'house extension project' was a live project which was proposed to have an extension to the rear of the property with
internal alterations to the existing building.
The project was a mixture of 2D CAD drawings, 3D renders and included a Revit model too. The 2D CAD drawings
combined to create a functional drawing package including; elevations and floor plans at multiple scales, site and block
plans, sections through the structure, detailed sections, foundation and services plans, and a window and door schedule.
Also, for this project, I produced a design and access statement for domestic dwellings.
This project predominantly introduced the use of building regulations within design. Throughout the drawing package,
annotation and notes have been applied to reference the building regulations and where they have been applied.

SKETCHING
Module: Architecture In Context
Year: 1
The sketches displayed formed a sketchbook project, compromising of various periods of historical
architecture.
The seminar tasks were to identify and sketch features or iconic structures from each historical period.
The sessions improved my ability to identify building features and distinguish which period they were
constructed and why. The sessions were also implemented to improve my sketching abilities in order to
communicate through visuals.
The brief was to create a 30 page A5 sketchbook containing a few sketches from each period. I feel the
sketches shown in my portfolio are the best i produced for this project, in terms of clearly
communicating what I intended. Also for this module, I produced a blog including discussions of various
aspects of architectural interest . The link to my blog page can be found on my attached Curriculum
Vitae.

WORK EXPERIENCE
Architectural Work Experience
July - September 2016
During summer 2016, I worked for a local practice ?Derek Trowell Architects?located in Wirksworth,
Derbyshire. My roles within the company included; using AutoCAD to adapt survey drawings into
proposed designs and issue them for planning permission, using Photoshop to neaten up and colour
proposed designs as visuals for the client, and writing design and access statements where required for
projects. The placement gave me valuable connections and skills I have been able to use in my second
year of university.
This particular project included a proposed single story extension to the rear of the property. In order to
comply with the clients request, the design must incorporate an open kitchen/diner with good use of
natural lighting.
The basic existing drawings were sent to the studio from a surveyor, from which I applied more detail
and the proposed extension using AutoCAD. Once the drawings were complete d to a sufficient
standard, i then collated the other information required for planning permission and sent them for
approval.

MODEL MAKING
Module: Technology & Design Studio
Year: 2
This was a group project called 'The Vertical Studio Project'. It is a
collaboration of all three years coming together to fulfill a brief. The
brief this year was to design 'floating' social housing.
This is the model produced for the proposal. It is three separate
dwellings composed into one structure which is floating in the water.
