A STEP AHEAD
Architecture
2022
Senate house steps
+
INFO

The pavilion is situated within an institution renowned for expanding opportunities, the steps exemplify the institution's commitment to fostering growth and contribution.
‍

BRIEF

There was a lack of student engagement and utilisation of the campus, especially post-COVID. This initiative embraces the potential to redefine the campus experience.

IDEA

A structure that subtly integrates into the university environment, serving as a reference point for the broader community. The pavilion's impact extends through active community involvement, adding layers of significance to its purpose. It is a canvas for collective creativity, a collaborative space where community members contribute through activity as much as they like, for it inherently belongs to them.

BRIEF

Too minimise breaks in flow by providing playlists for my peers to work to.  

IDEA

Design Sessions were created during my undergraduate degree. A pain point during our design sessions was that we couldn't agree on the music to listen to. Design sessions was a monthly drop of curated music choices that were made to reflect the mood and help keep creatives in the zone.
