LIFESTYLE URBANISM
UNIVERSITY PROJECT
Every city changes your lifestyle as soon as you move in.
What if we start by defining the lifestyle we want, then design the city in order to create that?
This building is a public living room, stocked with ways to pursue your own interests and make friends with people
who you share interests with.
It is about giving the local people the things they really want, more than just another shiny building.

MODULAR HOUSING
UNIVERSITY PROJECT
These contemporary terraced houses are laid out to form a possitive pedestrian environment for people passing
through.
They are laid out as a landscape and have a wind turbine/chapel which drives water through cleaning pools as an
elegant focal point for views.

SHAPING THE TOURIST
WORLD VIEW
PERSONAL PROJECT
The flâneur wanders every destination with the same detachment, feels the same everywhere they go and therefore feels that everywhere they go is the same.
This creates apathy, the subconscious perception that no matter what changes we could make to our lives or the world, one would always end up feeling the same.
Some places still shake our assumptions of what is inev-itable but globalization is making it easier and easier to act and feel identically in more and more cities. The per-ception of fundamental sameness is reinforced by archi-tecture which looks dramatically different, which still house identical uses and experiences, malls, galleries, gift shops and things to boredly take your photo in front of.
This pavilion causes people to interact, first casually, as they play with the lighting effects, then more di-rectly as climbing the inside requires help from others.
One experiences a feeling different to the typical museum, res-taurant, routine and together with a million other methods of creating different feelings in different places we can combat the ennui that travelling in the 21st century tends to engender.
It’s goal is to help make us aware of the incredible diversity of lives we could choose to lead or worlds we could choose to create.
