Architecture, BSc (Hons)

About me

Since embarking on the journey of architecture I have learned that architecture is not just about designing structures but also about considering the social, cultural, and environmental aspects that shape our built environment. Over my studies, I have realised that heritage and conservation architecture holds a special place in my heart due to its unique ability to preserve the rich cultural legacy and historical significance of buildings and sites. I have also learned that architecture is about telling a story. Throughout my degree, I have developed software skills in Photoshop, InDesign, SketchUp, AutoCad and many rendering softwares such as Twinmotion and Lumion which helped me to tell the stories of my designs.

Project 2/ Mary Shelly Primary School
The project encourages us to preserve any of the existing buildings and find their own vocation. The project’s aim is to help to grow generations for the 2040s and beyond.

Project 3/ Picoas Hub
