Project :

The brief for this BArch module for students on the RIBA Part II acredited architecture course was to design a new headquarters for the ethical bank Triodos based around two derelict buildings in Bristol. Different approaches to these buildings were explored, varying from substantial demolotion to rehabitation, creating office accomodation combined with new parks, shops, fitness centre and flexible theatre space.

My Role :

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