The Urban Jungle

Urban deserts and a lack of equal access to sustainable, affordable and healthy foods are major issues across the UK, particularly within Birmingham. The project links this socio-economic issue with the discussion surrounding the sustainable future of inner city travel, through repurposing a multistorey car park.

Urban farming strategies at both a community and commercial level are implemented in unison to showcase the benefits of mining the urban realm, and the utilisation of existing structures to do so.

Care for History in Birmingham

Birmingham has lost its care for its own past. This intervention looks to revive the city’s associations with canals and its industrial past through the creation of a gallery and park space adjacent to the Digbeth Branch Canal.

The project looked to utilise physical methods of representation, with charcoal drawings and a clay model forming the main deliverables.

Design Intervention – Increasing Daylight

A review of the design for the incubator project revealed a lack of daylight into the basement level. An intervention was proposed to increase daylight in a manner that maintains the project’s design ethos.
