I am a MArch graduate from Central St Martins with a focus on nightlife and club culture. My work explores the political and social context that club culture sits in and the relationships it has with the city through mediums of film, installation art and collage. I am fascinated by the role that policy, planning and development has in the making or un-making of subcultures spaces and investigating the steps that can be taken to alter the future of club culture in the city of London and beyond.

- The Prematoria In BloomI am fascinated with the inevitability of life and death and the ties that bind these inevitabilities together. Death has interested all civilisations, no matter the culture or religion, there is a kind of grounding in the act of dying that unifies every individual. We all live, and we all die. Death is something we as humans have had to deal with since life began. In the modern world, a realm of environmentally conscious mindsets, the way we deal with death is rapidly becoming outdated. I began to look at how a modernised, eco-friendly method, called ‘Promession’, can be incorporated into today’s society. I was considering how to maintain the importance of a funeral ceremony and the architectural poetics of death, while attempting to provide a new hope for those who are left behind with a knowledge that in death, one can still give back to the Earth. In short, the scheme consists of three parts; the ceremony, the Prematoria and the living memorial. This scheme is to give Coventry a space for those who are grieving to respectfully commemorate the deceased. It focusses on death on a micro scale; the emotive side of death on a personal level for the bereaved. But also considers death on a macro scale; death as an entity that unites the human race, one inevitable, constant event. By thinking of death in both these terms it allows for the prospect of transformation of a city.

During the final two years of my university education I was involved in a unit entitled ‘Dancing Shadows’, which focused primarily on speculation and development of architecture through physical enquiry. The teachings of this unit strongly encouraged the use of hand sketching, hand craft model making and the written word in order to explore atmosphere, materiality and form. By these methods I was able to explore responses to space with evocative, iterative and tangible understanding of how architecture renders emotion through physical and human relation. This personal connection with material and space is where I fundamentally believe spatial design can enhance the lives of the people who encounter it.
