seeds of change
Central Saint Martins, BA Architecture, Final year project
After months of getting to know the site and community at Broadwater Farm Estate, key issues were identified; underutilized spaces, food insecurity, and struggling local businesses. By repurposing unused spaces like the old elevated walkways, this project transforms the existing enterprise center into facilities for urban farming, through collaboration with local initiatives, Greens Made Easy and Harmony Gardens, incorporating both vertical farming and greenhouses. Adding a community kitchen and food hall ensures that residents have access to fresh, nutritious food and improved shop units will offer better opportunities for existing and future businesses. My design aims create a sustainable and commmunity driven eco-system of growing, cooking, eating, and flourishing together
golden lane
Central Saint Martins, BA Architecture, second year project
The Golden Lane Middle Eastern Cultural Center addresses the lack of representation of Middle Eastern art and cultural practices in the UK and the decline of traditional art methods. Located in London's Golden Lane Estate, the center will celebrate traditional Middle Eastern art and showcase Arab artists and host art workshops in calligraphy, ceramics, textiles, and Islamic geometry. The design takes inspiration from Middle Eastern and British architecture, by using locally sourced London Stock Brick in forms inspired by the middle east but adapted to the local climate and environment.
