edgar road community day

these pictures were taken at the edgar road community day where some of our designs for the estate and the community centre were displayed for residents to see and comment on.they were able to vote, via an ingenious sticker system, for the designs they or individual features they liked the best. The day was really good with various events, activities, and live music and recieving feedback about our design proposals from the people who would potentially use them was really useful.

year out job

the first year out job on study space. Looks quite interesting, i will definately apply for it and see what happens. I really liked liverpool after visiting it for the study visit, and wouldnt mind living/working there for the year out.

business cards

couple of ideas for a business card continuing the theme of the website. I dont really like the idea of using a business card as im not a business and it seems a little pretentious, but a useful graphic experiment all the same

year out opportunities

i have recently been looking into what i am going to do for my year out. because of the current situation i have been looking at various options as well as landscape architecture such as graphic and web design opportunities. I have also been looking at any volunteer work that could be relevant or could give me good experience, and found groundwork (http://www.groundwork.org.uk/), which is an organisation aiming to help develop more sustainable communities through various schemes and projects. I think this would offer good hands on experience as well as experience in working with and helping communities.

web development screenshots

this image shows the page that will link through to second year projects. you roll over thumbnails to see the project title, and there will be a short description of each, then click to view the project.






this sceenshot shows the single page dedicated to sample images from first year projects. you can roll over the thumbnails and then the larger image appears in the space next them.
i wanted to include some first year sample images on my website as it allows people to see the progression that i have made over the three years.

urban agriculture

this was a really interesting exhibition at NLA. the topic of urban agriculture and growing your own produce locally is very popular at the moment for the reason that it promotes healthy eating, more sustainable living as well as community development. I have been looking at vegetable growing for the edgar road design project, so the exhibition was very useful.

year out/ future opportunities

i found a really good landscape practice in canada called space to place design. They have done some really good projects including a playground and also a skatepark. I would like to live and work in canada and they seem to have a good focus on recreation in public space, which is reflected in this pracice's work.
