‘As work is a response to external pressures, play is a manifestation of internal needs and wishes. Like work, it is a necessity’

(Dattner, Richard 1969) in Design for play

Play is often neglected in architectural design and often causes the architecture itself to be banal and lifeless. Architecture should embody play into the programme and narrative of the building to add positivity to spaces. Within my own projects exhibited here, I have attempted to implement play through the methodology, programme, narrative and imagery.

I am a recent part 1 architecture graduate from the Arts University Bournemouth and have been awarded a Bachelor of Arts with Honours Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 1)

Class: Second Class Honours Upper Division. I am inspired by Dutch architecture, in particular the works of MVRDV, Herman Hertzberger, Aldo Van Eyck and Rem Koolhaus.

I have also exhibited here some work I have achieved during my two years in architectural practice.
