Graphic Design-Adam and Eve

Most people know the story of Adam and Eve from the bible, the story of the first man and first woman according to bible-based religions. With us, it has a relation to our names in itself, and the associations of creation and new ideas of the design industry.

The two figures are representations of the name, Adam in green with a single leaf and Eve in red with two leaves. The leaves used to distinguish between male and female are fig leaves, often used by renaissance painters to cover the naked bodies of Adam and Eve in their masterpieces. This leaf motif is also carried over into our name, using a fig leaf in place of the ‘and’ in Adam and Eve.

Architecture-Going Underground

A competition entry, that won a special merit award. The brief of the project was to design the subway station of the future, while almost every other entry to the competition explored new technology in a perfect and polished future. I created a vision of a distopian future and the reuse and adaptation of the existing subway system into the cities of the future.

Utilizing advanced and experimental technology as a neccesity due to no other option being avaliable, and the conversion of exixting stations into small town centers that combine together to create the new city. With no geographical reference points underground, normal maps are useless and the stylized subway map becomes a real representation of the city rather than a simplified graphic of the city.

Architecture-A Grand Hole

Part of the 2012 London Olympic site, the area suffers from three major traffic routes through the heart of it, with little consideration given to the public access of the area.

The brief for the project was to provide a solution that allowed for the redevelopment of the area and allowed the segregated communities around it to become more integrated.

The suggested solution is to undercut the existing ground level to allow for a new pedestrian level that allows an easier cross flow of foot traffic, but at the same time makes the area more accessible to the existing vehicle traffic.

Architecture-Classic Italian

The birthplace of the Renaissance, Urbino is a walled city in Italy that hasn’t changed much for over 300 years. With the whole city designated a Unesco historical site, regulations on building in the city are prohibitive at best.

The brief was to provide a use for one of the abandoned sites around the city. The solution was to provide a new residence for a gardener and family to tend to the old orchard in the city. Allowing for an abandoned area to be opened up for public use and providing a new, yet traditional facade to a derelict elevation of the city.

Architecture-Island Paradise

An area of London that is prone to flooding, yet it essential to the expansion of the city.

The brief was to provide a solution that deals with the problems of the site without making them worse. The solution was not to defend against the flooding problem of the site, but to use it. Allowing the site to flood twice daily allows for an aquatic based community to be constructed around manufactured islands that use the local materials available and re-use the waste that has accumulated on the site over many years of neglect.
