The Engine

I have a desire to better understand how the built environment can respond to the challenges of the modern world in providing spaces that celebrate and belong to the people and place they are designed for, whilst aiming to reduce our impact on the planet. My third year work has been focused on the exploration of integrating alternative construction methods, technologies and green infrastructure to create an interconnected community-focused civic space which is intended to give back to the people of Derby.

I have used hand drawing, physical model making, 3D modelling software, and digital draughting software including AutoCAD, Sketchup, Vray, and Photoshop to help realise these design goals.
