I am a student passionate about the environment and how buildings can be a part of a sustainable future, with a keen interest in integrated systems and sustainable design. I have always been drawn to new technologies and cutting-edge solutions. Through my course, I have developed a passion for dynamic simulation models, using Grasshopper to create a program that can test any earth tube dimensions in future climate scenarios. In addition, my final project focuses on the reuse of wind turbine blades, which pose a challenge to recycle. Landfill waste from these blades is forecast to grow dramatically, and my work explores how they could be repurposed within the built environment.
Hybrid Digital Composite of the model
This composite was created at an early stage to visualise the potential impact of the façade when viewed from the motorway
Site Isometric drawing
This image gives a sense of how the building interacts with the site on a more granular scale, detailing elements of the landscape design and pathways that integrate the building with its context
Exploded View Detailing Wind Turbine Blade Tile System
The concept of reusing wind turbine blades as cladding is key to my project, and this drawing details how the blades would be cut to create the tiles used for the project’s roof
