Project :

The brief for this BArch module for students on the RIBA Part II acredited architecture course was to design a film school for a site adjacent to the Spitalfields markets, London. The students responded to a detailed and demanding brief, and a heavily constrained site, as well as the requirement that the building should be responsive to the urban terrain - that the city should become part of the architectural experience of the institution.

My Role :

  • Give an inspirational lecture to the students to help kick-start the module
  • Provide engineering input on the structural viability of the proposed schemes
  • Prepare the students, through workshops, for their Technical Substantiation review
