Being an architecture student @katherineascott-blog - Tumblr Blog

This was the premise for some of my site mapping studies: the overlaying of information in an architectural drawing.

These are diagrams which break down the site mapping studies below.

These are my initial responses to site. I have been studying the movement around the island where my site is, in terms of boats and the movement of the gates, locks and bridges. This led to me producing a drawing studying the temporal nature of the site - as if it were itself a prosthetic.

These are the 6 priority drawings I have done for my current project, HALFWAY HOME. The brief I have written is for a residential boat-building workshop for ex-servicemen. Looking at the writings of Henri Lefebvre, the field of aquatic architecture and drawing on my interests from my final second year project in Morecambe, I am enjoying the initial stages of this final project of my undergraduate studies.

It's been a while....

After a fairly long break, I am back Tumblr!

My interview with Roddy Langmuir of Cullinan Studio will be uploaded onto the University of Nottingham Website soon. See more in my wordpress article, http://architecturestudentlife.wordpress.com/2014/03/02/video-interview-with-roddy-langmuir-cullinan-studio/

Sectional maquette of the core of the building in concrete. Rifts. Caves. Cavity. Building as sculpture. Strength vs vulnerability. Thickness.

My initial conceptual study for designing a pier in Morecambe Bay as a fishing dock/boat building site.

A covered street making Imaginations HQ designed by Ron Herron ex of Archigram - a interesting coincidence given the Professor at Barlett School of Architecture being Peter Cook and my tutor being Christine Hawley, both also ex Archigram.
