Portflolio

This post is about stuff that I have designed throughout the course.

1. The air-plot it was part of coursework and competition to stop the government from building a new runway for Heathrow Airport. I came up with a design called Contained. unfortunately my design did not take any prices because i did not enter the competition...

Contained is a contemporary design at the Airplot, owned by Greenpeace.

The design includes 3 container units placed in a single island and surrounded by a

large pool with a mobile timber bridge that can be removed when needed.

The scheme will be powered using solar panel and bikes hooked to generators.

The rain water will be collected to be reused on growing vegetables on the roof in raised

vegetable beds.

Keeping existing native hedge, apple trees and planting different species of hardy plants

with berries and thorns will create a barrier for the ‘unwanted visitors’ and a great place

for shelter, nesting and food from different type of berries. Also designing a pond will

make the area a special place for the wildlife such as frogs, mutes and different

types of fish.

2. Canal Side Green Wall

Another unbuilt project is Canal Side Green Wall was a temporary project that was designed on the regeneration area of Regents Canal in Kings Cross. The project should have been built by July 2010 and in late 2011 was going to be part of Lea Valley during Olympics. The design was a challenging idea with the wall facing North and longest vertical garden in UK. There were about 350 shade tolerant plant species. This was a sustainable project designed with recyclable and reusable materials. Those include stainless still frame, PVC plant holder slides and treated soft wood.

3. Section
