This portfolio is for the University of Kent as part of the application process. My UCAS I.D is 1157999164.

1. Sketching with
Fine liner.
Sketching
enables me to
take inspiration
from pre-existing
buildings and
then manipulate
this to suit my
own taste. By
sketching
buildings of
different styles
and from
different periods I
can see where
architectural
styles have come
from and how
they may evolve
in the future.

3. Charcoal
Drawings
Through the
medium of
charcoal I explored
the five senses.
The senses are so
important when
determining how
successful a
building is as they
ultimately judge
our surroundings.
How a building
can make you feel
and the way you
react with a
building
determines
whether the space
you are within is
more than just a
building, but a
space that
conveys an idea.

4. Tracing paper,
Sketch-Up and
Photoshop
On work
experience at
ADE I was given
the task to design
the skylight for an
extension that the
firm was working
on. I had to
consider what
would provide the
rooms with the
most amount of
light and then I
had to
incorporate this is
into an innovative
design.

5. Tracing paper,
Sketch-Up and
Photoshop
Whilst at work
experience I learnt
how to use
Google Sketch-up
and Photoshop.
By experimenting
with different
colours on
Photoshop I could
determine what
the aesthetic
would turn out to
be. It also made
me research
different
materials. This
eventually resulted
in the client
choosing one of
the materials I
researched,
Cor-ten.

6. Lower School and College
House
Upper Science and
Residential Block
Red House and
Theatre
Furzedown house
Bradford House
Photography
and spray
painting
Spray painting was
the medium used to
create the title of
the page. I then
photographed
different buildings
around the school
of different
architectural styles.
This way I gain
inspiration from my
surroundings and
can use them when
I design in the
future.

7. Product
Design- AS
Taking product
design for AS and
currently for A2
has given me the
opportunity to
develop ideas into
a physical item. It
has also helped
me to develop
modelling skills,
CAD drawing and
understanding
design history so
that I can
incorporate
design
movements into
my product.

8. Watercolour
painting
As I did not take
Art for A level or
GCSE I felt it was
important to
explore mediums
that I would not
typically use whilst
at school. This led
me to using
watercolours and
exploring with
different painting
techniques. From
this I can see how
I could use
painting as a way
of exploring
different colour
choices rather
than using a
computer
programme such
as Photoshop.

9. Architectural
Competition
Entering a
competition for Open
City to design a new
leisure centre helped
me to develop skills
that I hadn’t learnt at
work experience,
such as being a
project manager. On
top of this I was also
responsible for the
main design of the
facade and the
design proposal. I
then helped to amend
any mistakes made
by the team in the
plans. This
competition helped
me to explore new
sustainable ways of
designing such as
including vertical
gardens.

10. Model Making
Whilst on work
experience at the
Urban Projects
Bureau I created a
conceptual model
to show human
interaction. In the
case of this model
it was identifying
how music
interferes with
interaction hence
the Acetate music
sheet dividing the
people. The
abstract shape on
the rear wall
mirrors the
rhythms of
different pieces of
music and the
consequence it
can have on social
interaction.
