I am fascinated with cooking and kitchenware - designing and making this architectural device for my portfolio allowed me to combine my hobby to my studies.

Diagrammatic timeline of the mushroom pie school

Site: Victoria Tower Gardens, Westminster UK

The mushroom pie school sits in a cultural and historical heart of London - re-aligning the city's 24 hour society lifestyle. By luring in people who visited the Barometer: Time of Tea, the ministry steals time from them by enforcing an intensive training to create a mushroom pie from scratch.

A festival after each period celebrates the realignment of these individuals and attempts to reground the city back into natural time, by sending out pies in the underground which have already become mushroom farms and witnessed by everyday commuters of the famous Tube. These pie trains interrupt city daily schedules sending out tastes and smells combating the unhealthy gains of fast life/food.

tea pavilion seasonal diagrammatic plan view

Stop and enjoy the moment and beauty that is all around, by enjoying a cup of warm tea produced by the very environment and nature that is neglected. 

Sited in the heart of London, in Parliament Square, a teahouse grows its own tea and moves over time. As the teahouse slowly transforms, the different tea spaces and greenhouses open up to receive the different seasons and slowly makes a natural visible record as a time machine.
