Hydrotherapy

An example of a recent project to produce a hydrotherapy therapy for those with long term brain injury and dementia.  Unfortunately, this is unlikely to get built, but was a very rewarding design process.  The design seeked to create an "outbuildign aesthtic" whilst announcing it's presence to the wider site.  Did it work? I like to think so, Sympathic materials are fundemental to how this design aims to sit within its immediate environment, allowing users to catch glimpses of the landscape while undergoing therapy.

Final Submission - Well recieved

My Final submission was well recieved utilising Models and 3D images to illustrate my proposed design.  There are aspects that I would have liked to have developed futher, but hey.... Thats the nature of design I would guess.

Theoretical

I'm still playing with spaces and how they will feel, but the industrial look is what i'm aiming for. Something like this maybe

Tech Week

In a professional preparation for tech week, my scheme has taken a few healthy steps backwards, towards being less resolved than ever. My concepts remain, my form does not! Just incase any of you are also finding it tough, your not alone! ha-ha

Visual appreciation of the transporter bridge, Teeside. The aesthetics of which will be used in the design response, utilising a dystopian response to the breakdown of industry & social ambition.

form investigation

the form investigation has used both physical & 3d models to date. The form focuses on engageing users of the square, closing off the sqaure. The facades will attempt to translate de-materialism, whilst the form will make a link to the industrial history, which heavily influenced the schools benefactors.

site

following positive feedback about the location & site for my thesis, I've started to look at a design response
