School of Circus Arts_Thesis_MSA

In Lisbon the city and the landscape are bound together. The terrain causes the architecture to be both buried and exposed. The building is a performing arts school designed for Circus Arts in Castelo. The physical construction of a new urban building type marks the recognition of the culture of Circus Arts in Lisbon and growth of the art form.

Housing_MSA(Stage4)

Strategic Thinking_ As a group of 3 students, we were asked to masterplan and redevelop a small piece of Glasgow. We established a framework in which we could develop architecture for high density housing on different individual sites, creating a high density housing in a ‘local’ urban environment. Refiguring and Configuring Urban Fabric_ The high density housing proposal seeks to strengthen existing urban fabric, providing mixed housing, commercial and community related accomodation. Different typologies establish/enforce the nature of the spaces in and around the proposal establishing identity whilst enabling different living situations. The primary housing model considered in detail is the new tenement on the high street, Dumbarton Road.
