Final Model Maquette
Final massing model completed. Should have tried to finish this off much earlier than this but alas was not able. Need to take a video of this. Really helped me firm up ideas around treatment of the elevation and how new insertions manifest themselves amongst the ruins.
Definitive massing
Building a more definitive version of the massing model... 1:100 section models to come next. Assuming I can fit all of this in before January!...
Winchester Horticultural City – An Urban Agriculture Cooperative
P4 Professional Studies – Project Related Report for my Winchester Horticultural City Head Quarters project. This one looks into how issues of practice, law and management will influence the project looking more specifically at the structure of the design team and client as well as planning policy inadequacies that would need to be addressed. https://issuu.com/timothyphilipgentry/docs/p5_professional_studies_project_rel
Precedent | Koi Cafe in Hanoi | Farming Architects
Love this Hanoi cafe! The materiality of the space is brilliant and it has an aquaponics farm in it. This has given me a more solid idea of how more permanent new features built into and around the ruins may be formed, in contrast to the delicate touch where elements navigate the ruins elsewhere.… Continue reading Precedent | Koi Cafe in Hanoi | Farming Architects

Maquette tests
A late post of a test I did looking into a hyperboloid and how it behaves. If you're wondering what one is and where you might have come across one before, think of a stretched Chinese finger trap. This is a hyperboloid. As you can see from above the strands of the shape are formed… Continue reading Maquette tests
Precedent | Sichuan province homes | Rural Urban Framework
Great Dezeen article on these homes in China built for disaster relief zones that incorporate urban agriculture into the roofs of the houses. Seems they employed recognisable, replicable simple local building techniques too.
Hyperbolic Parabola

D6 External Examiner Interim Review
Presentation sheets from my interim review with the external examiner in Oxford Brookes last Friday. Presentation clearly still needs some work as I do not intend for it to read so linearly come the final examination, but it had to do as a point of discussion and feedback for the interim. The external examiners spoke… Continue reading D6 External Examiner Interim Review
Aquaponics system update
Had to widen the diameter of the pipe outlets to aide water flow as this is where the inexplicable leak was coming from. Water was just backing up in the pipes as drains couldn't keep up with the pump, and turning the flow of the pump rate down meant there wasn't enough water going around… Continue reading Aquaponics system update
