Approach
Throughout my work, I aim to develop projects around an intelligent,
research-driven design methodology. Whether intended as a critique or
propositon, I see every project as a provocation rooted in a social and
political reality.
My methodology also seeks a synthesis between visceral and rational
ways of thinking by embracing the tensions between the emotional and
pragmatic dimensions of design.
My graduate project at the Royal College of Art explored this tension
and addressed one of my wider academic interests - the overlap
between social and global politics with architecture - particularly
how knowledge of the physiological properties of space allows us to
traverse rational and intuitive bounderies and better understand how
the built environment affects our well - being through the genreation of
community.

known as Qianhai New District. Located in
Nanshan and encircled by Shuangjie River,
Yueliangwan Boulevard, Mawan Boulevard
and Qianhai Bay, Qianhai covers an area
of approximately 15 square kilometres
(5.8 sq mi), comprising almost entirely
reclaimed land.The project is expected to be
completed by 2020.
This initiative is meant to spearhead
the internationalisation of Shenzhen’s
capital market, as well as strengthen the
partnership between securities markets
in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Qianhai’s
financial services will aim to complement
that of Hong Kong’s, in a conscious effort to
avoid direct competition and create a win-

Ruptured Ecology,
The Coca Leaf Growers of Bolivia
ADS7
Royal College of Art, London
Masters of Arts in Architecture (Part 2) I 2016
This project investigates the conflicting ecologies
of traditional coca leaf production and large-scale
resource extraction, including oil, mining and
cocaine. At the intersection of these ecologies lies
the Yungas road in north Bolivia. As a vital device
for both the Bolivian government and mining
corporations, the Yungas road has been object
of multiple blockades by the local indigenous
communities. If initially these were in protest
against the eradication of coca leaf plantations,
more recently they reflect a traditional mode of
living increasingly put under pressure by capitalist
forms of production. In doing so indigenous peoples
foreground the role of infrastructure as a site where
multiple social and political ecologies intersect.
Working at territorial, urban and architectural
scales of intervention the project consists of a
series of infrastructures that provide support to
traditional modes of coca leaf agriculture.The
design speculates on how existing modes of living
can be better structured and formalized around
the coca plant. In doing so the process of coca
production becomes a vehicle for the affirmation of
indigenous modes of living and political autonomy.

Depicting the 15th century landing of Spain and the various
intersecting ecologies throughout Bolivian history
My research investigates the systemic and legally
sanctioned eradication of the coca plant in
Bolivia. Caught in the middle of a conflict between
global drugs policy and inherited tradition are the
indigenous coca leaf growers of the north Yungas
region. Faced with imperialist eradication they
employ the roadblock as a means of protest against
the state. In doing so they foreground the role of
infrastructure as a site where multiple social and
political ecologies intersect.
How does the road, but more specifically how
does the blockade of this infrastructure becomes
a device for the negotiation of an ongoing dispute
and violence between inhabitants and the state,
themselves manifesting as temporary island
states at an urban level. By using the subjectivity
of production, specifically the production of coca
leaves and it’s relation between its agricultural
fields to transport infrastructure, the road becomes
the instrument through which I interrogate these
complex ecologies and how they intercept.

Bolivian Culture of Extraction
Related Coca and Cocaine Industry
Existing Bolivian Infrastructre
I see Coca as the interception in this region of
extractivism, seen here in this large scale territorial
map where coca is merely a minor player in a region
where everything from oil, lumber, minerals and
more importantly agriculture from cattle to Soya
seen in the whole right side of Bolivia of which
coca is a part of, Where coca as a mode of living
intervenes as also a mode of production.
The North Yungas road running from Bolivia’s
governmental capital La Paz leading to the
lowlands of north eastern Bolivia shall be site to
my initial investigations. A result of the neo liberal
policies in Bolivia was the privatisation of the
public services such as the potable water, a step
mandated by the World Bank as a loan condition.
As a result vast protests called the “water wars,”
erupted from November 1999 to April 2000,
initially centered in Cochabamba located in central
Bolivia it spread to the governmental capital.
This generated a widespread indigenous political
mobilization and sparked further protests against
government plans to continue the U.S backed coca
eradication by utilising the blockade tactic. By
restricting access along the Yungas highway north
of La Paz the main artery to the region, Coca leaf
farmers blocked the main transportation routes,
attacking the infrastructural network.
Caught in the middle of this conflict between
two forces of global policy and tradition are the
indigenous Aymara coca leaf growers and traders
of north Yungas.The single largest indigenous
group from the Andes region, they have grown and
chewed the plant for centuries.The leaf is as much
a symbol of their indigenous culture as it is a vital
source of income and a medicinal product used to
stave of altitude sickness in areas such as La Paz.
As a consequence, the analysis of the road slowly
became a mode of inquiry itself. By analyzing
the road I am able not only to trace the multiple
blockades from coca farmers but also other
disputes such asanti-mining campaigns.

BLOCKADES
Road blockades have long since been a tool of
struggle, and in recent months have featured in
protests in South Africa, Guinea, Mozambique,
Nigeria, Palestine, Chile, Brazil, Argentina and the
focus of my attention Boliiva. Whilst some road
blockades might be considered spontaneous
eruptions of anger, with little reflective thought
involved, others are clearly part of a conscious
Praxis, a tactic reflecting Gramsci’s ‘war of
manoeuvre’. However, I argue, road blockades
are also used as a counter-hegemonic tool in a
‘war of position’.
“My research investigates the systemic and
legally sanctioned eradication of the coca plant in
Bolivia. Caught in the middle of a conflict between
global drugs policy and inherited tradition are the
indigenous coca leaf growers of north Yungas.
Faced with imperialist eradication they employ
the roadblock as a means of protest against

the road becmomes site and main protagonist
in this project.”

The ecological damage of fumigation is driving
migration to the cities and we hear from its many
critics in both Colombia and the US that in fact
fumigation appears to have driven manyfinancially
desperate farmers to produce more coca.
Through the creation of a taxonomy of not only the
coca industry but also cocaine, certain strategies
and spaces that already seek to organise appeared.
These snapshots of moments such as the market
the store front, coca farms, Narco Town, Legislative

The three largest countries for the production of
cocaine in the world are also the three in which
the coca leaf has its deepest cultural significance,
the tradition of coca farming in Colombia, Peru
and Bolivia can be traced as far back as Christ.
Until 2005 with the election of Evo Morales the
previous government supported by the U.S,
militarised attempts to disrupt production of
cocaine by using forced eradication through
both chemical and manual techniques of coca
crops throughoutBolivia.The madness of aerial
spraying is borne out in the blanket destruction of
impoverished farmers’ crops.“Everything’s dead”
says farmer Maria, from coca, papaya, chocolate,
banana to yucca.

The Store Front
The markets of potaosi and coripata have always had at its heart the sale of coca
leaves, sitting amoungst all the other paraphernalia is a bag of coca leaves at its
centre in a bag to be sold in smaller quantities
Current Price for coca leaves stands at 7.4 USD$ / Kilo at the local markets
2008 = 5 USD/KG

The creation of a new form of infrastructure
Modes of production
This road for me became a lens through which
my scale of view led me to look far more closely
at the densest area of cultivation in Bolivia which
is directly connected to the Yungas road, coroico
municipality. Home to the indigenous Aymara who
have grown coca for centuries as their only form
of income we can see the coca fields blanketing
the hinterland and covering the territory served
by these 3 key villages arapata, coripata and
trinidad pampa. We begin to see the key role of
infrastructure and its relationship to the modes of
production and living i.e Coca.
They are repeated across the coca farming
landscape, constructed from easy to find cheap
local materials, the farms are regulated by the
government to 2500 m2 per family
that of a village a large semi flexible production
facility for the processing, plant nursery and

small distribution market. the central space serves
as storage of coca from which

By starting with the transportation network
and then building out from there, ribbon
farms come with certain efficiencies. Part
of their elegance is how easy it is to
transport goods from them. Within a ribbon
farm, moving around is a bit more difficult
the farthest part is much farther away from
the house and barn than the most distant
part of a square farm. But between farms
and markets, ribbon farms are superior.
Roads running past ribbon farms can serve
more addresses over the same distance;
neighbors are a short walk away; cities and
crossroads closer than you’d expect.

FORESTED PATCHES
Particularly difficult to

the gradients of the land and
traditional attitudes towards land
tenure resulting in family plots
creates a difficulty in generating
enough finance and labour in
which to transform larger areas
of this landscape into useable
farmland

Analysis into the relations of Coca, infrastructure
and terrain of the Yungas road
Incorporating tribal shared landuse methods at
the masterplan scale the distribution of this area
transforms into singular 2500 sqm plots as stated
by the governments to be managed by family units.
At the heart this masterplan sits the agriculture
center which seeks through hybridisation of
traditional farming techniques and cultural spaces
to assuage the violence through tackling the use
of land and Social dialogue.These interventions do
not seek to replace nor reinvent, but merely inserts
itself into the existing mode of production
Providing the ability for agency and amplifying the
political mobilisation of the coca growers begun in
2000 through the successful protests and blockade
of Cochabamba reversing government policy and
subsequent election of the first ever indigenous
president who himself was a coca grower.
By altering the existing form of infrastructural
network and relating the political process to that
of the production of process of coca we transform
how these communities are formulating their
everyday lives and are represented politically

Coca farm storage unit
Disseminated throughout the landscape
Supporting infrastructure
Flexible storage shed space which serves the
surrounding farms made up of typical 7 family
plots.
Working at territorial, urban and architectural
scales of intervention the project consists of a
series of infrastructures that provide support
to traditional modes of coca leaf agriculture.
The territorial scale of intervention consists of
providing temporary storage sheds for coca and
tools used in the cultivation process spread across
the hinterland they each support seven families
in turn seven 2500 sqm plots as defined by the
government.The project consists of a series of
infrastructures that provide support to traditional
modes of coca leaf agriculture. Wresting control
of the landscape and directing the resources into
3 production facilities for the processing of coca
finally distributed at the municipal capital of
Coroico, always at the heart of each programme
a combination of two key ideas exist, the storage
of coca leaves and the ability to gather and meet
in the form of assembly spaces to discuss and
negotiate disputes.

Since 1988, Bolivian law has allowed for 12,000
hectares (30,000 acres) of coca to be cultivated for
legitimate uses, and currently are in discussions
that could increase the final figure to 20,000
hectares. With an established policy for ‘Social
Control’in an attempt to reduce excess coca
production,the farmers have come together and
unionised, forming the Coca Growers Union in the
province of Chapare. It is through the union in which
the 12,000 hectares are distributed across the

Coca Market and Forum
Located at a region capital
Coca Market at the heart of a forum
That of the municipality, a fixed site serving all
the surrounding villages operating as a small
distribution market. the central space serves as
storage of coca from which meetings are held
between the indigenous on issues of dispute.
Caught in the middle of this global conflict
between two impossible forces are the indigenous
Aymara coca leaf traders of El Alto market.The
single largest indigenous group from the Andes
region, they have grown and chewed the plant for
centuries.The coca leaf is as much a symbol of
their indigenous culture as it is a vital source of
income and medicinal product where they were
used to boost the productivity of miners, and
alleviating altitude sickness. Meeting 3-6 times a
year immediately after harvest, the architecture of
the market acts as the polarising element for social
gathering and dissemination of both goods and
culture for the major metropolis.
Contrast this with the stand taken by Bolivian
President Evo Morales, who brandished the
coca leaf at the UN and expresses deep pride in
this traditional crop grown since the Incas. He
hascampaigned against the U.S and Bolivian
attempts to forcefully eradicate coca as a part
of the War on Drugs, which he denounced as an
imperialistviolation of indigenous Andean culture.
Turning his back on the militarisation of coca
eradication, Morales took the step of legalising
“traditional consumption”. With Morales’“peaceful,
negotiated reduction” Bolivia’s coca farmers are
unionised and, unlike those in Colombia, thriving.

Dissappearance of Architecture
[Transformation]
Sometimes, we need to return to the begining,
to question the purpose of <apearance of
architecture>! In its simplest terms, Architecture
is an attempt to separate one from weather.The
layers of a building’s skin are each systematically
designed to control atmospheric conditions to
provide ‘ideal’ interior environments. However, the
more we fortify ourselves into our own buidlings,
the more we are cut off from the nature.The action
of our own buidlings, the more we are cut off from
the nature.The action of architecture is create
isolation and sepration;the conventional building
elements such doors windows and walls are for
the purpose to seperate us from the nature. In
this project, our main idea is to questioning the
coventional approach of architectural design.
To make architecture dispear in another term
is to make the nature reappear in our daily life.
Our project sets in the contemporary context
of Beijing;the recent events of highly polluted/
particled air invade the vast urban landscape of
the city. Beijing is standing on a breaking point, the
climatic condition of the city have been completely
disturbed by the industrial smog and the over-
poppulated city’s demostic pollution.
Without been over-ambitious to ‘save the world’,
we address this issue and test a new form of
architecture in a small scale. We intend to work
with a forgetten community of Beijing:the animals
of Beijing zoo by the relocating/inhabit it to a new
site;the largest steelplant of Beijing Shougang
corporation. Being one of the first and largest
steel plant to lead the modern induatrial revolution
of china, is now being left in a derelic state. The
introduction of zoo into the ex-steelplant site,
this creates a situation where the zoo blurres the
identity of the steel plant and vise-versa.
The open Zoo
[Adapt, reuse, recycle]
The Narrative of the Zoo is a a collection of
contemporary events happened in the City of
Beijing, include the daily lifes of the politicians,
the bankers, the shoppers and so on.The concept
of ‘Post-code Habitate’ was introduced to define
different zonations within the zoo, it was to was
introduced to define different zonations within the
zoo, it was to reflect the social fabric of Beijing into
our design;with animal regrouped into multiple
habitats like a miniture copy of Beijing..
This miniture city is controlled by a system of mist
devices powered by the redundant waste from
the city;that when activated it creates a colision
between different habitats, merging evert zonation
into one, thus the idea of making conventional
architectural elements,( wall, door boundaries)
disappear.In parallel, their main purpose is to
desolve the smog and form a nutural mist shield
for the users, to prevent animal and man from the
severe smog hazard effects.

In extreme climates weather often produces a
hermetic architecture that encloses the interior
to account for the extremes.The every day - those
days that linger within these extremes - has a
potential for new types of permeability that is yet
to be exploited. As ‘green’ architecture is offered
a more substantial role in contemporary society,
a new relationship must be afforded between
architecture and weather that allows buildings to
exploit the productive aspects of the atmosphere.

Temporary Autonomous Garden Zones
T.A.G.Z
In 2007 labour set a target of 240,000 new homes
to be built annually in order to meet the demand of
the ever increasing population.
By the end of 2007, 219,000 homes were completed.
But in 2012 the U.K achieved a postwar low of
135,000 new homes, since then little increase has
occurred annually.Meaning that annually we are
missing 105,000 homes in deficit.The current-
governments proposal to help ease this situation
is to reignite the discussion of the use in garden
city living. But what i believe is that this concept is
antiquated, based on an archaic technology in the
car, powered by an even more archaic fuel source
that until recently we discovered is not unlimited.
What I propose is that set in the year 2043 a
parasitic community that subverts the existing
system by empowering the people who are being
pushed out of affordable city living, those who are
technologically & intellectually adept but lack the
economy to exist in the urban fabric / the fresh
graduates / the young professionals, migrants and
low income families through the technologies of
additive manufacturing and emerging drone tech.

So if the solution isn’t to live further away,
increasing urban sprawl, or consuming more fuel,
then what is?
By Blurring the boundaries of how a Garden city
might manifest itself within the conservative blue
city. By shifting the ability to design and build
back to the home owner, breaking their material
reliance the eventual community shall connect by
reclaiming back the roof lines that already exist. By
forming an alliance with the residents of the block,
they shall symbiotically provide the block with
produce from the urban farms and off-setting their
water use from the hydro collectors.
Reactivating and transforming it into a vibrant
community, an archipelago within the urban ocean.
The Garden City, developed by TCPA’s founder,
Ebenexer Howard, described the advantages of a
energetic and active town life.The key ideals taht
underpin the ‘Garden City’ is the development
of holistically planned new settlements which
enhance the local environment, providing high
quality housing and locally accesible jobs, healthy
and sociable communities.

Building Enforcment Notices
within the Greater London Area
2014
Building Enforcement Notices sent for the removal of illegal building works
for residential properties within the London Borough regions.
Some 4,698 enforcement notices were served by English local planning
authorities in the 12 months to March 2014 with the most active
enforcement teams being those in the capital.
That was highlighted by an analysis of of�icial �igures carried out by
consultancy Plainview Planning. The London Borough of Newham was the
most proli�ic. It issued 451 notices. This represents 10 per cent of all notices
issued in England.

parisitic Community Street art has taken hold of
the mainstream in recent years, from the humble
beginnings of tagging graffiti marking territory and
rebelling against authority, to its continued growth
where rebellion has turned suberversion and full
street art. Often these pieces contain political and
social commentry and subversion, visually pleasing
and adding colour to otherwise a standardised
colour of the urban environment, the pieces of art
seemingly merge and emit at the same time.

All roads lead to Rome
Recovering the Urban Circulation
Concrete Poetry Hall
[Beebreeder Architecture Competition]
There is a saying that “all roads lead to Rome”
meaning different paths can take one to the same
goal.
Claudius Galenus for which the piazza is named
after, was a physician, writer and philosopher who
became the most famous doctor in the Roman
Empire and whose theories dominated European
medicinefor1,500years.Galenwastheoriginatorof
the experimental method in medical investigation,
and throughout his quest to understand how the
body functions,
Galen’s work from centuries before remained the
central physiological understanding of the motions
of the heart and blood. Galen taught that venous
and arterial blood flowed as two different systems.
the heart produced arterial blood and ‘spirits’ that
provided heat and life to the rest of the body.
Of particular focus of attention for him was in the
greater understanding of the human circulation
system for which he published and proved that
urine forms in kidneys, not the bladder, that
arteries carry liquid blood rather than gaseous air
and Identification of two types of blood – bright red
and dark red.
Roman Concrete
It is widely acknowledged that
Roman concrete is the most du-
rable type of cement of its kind
due to its incorporation of vol-
canic ash and hourse hair,which
prevents cracks from spreading.
Inclusion of Blood
The Romans knew that adding
horse hair made concrete less
liable to crack while it hardened,
and adding blood made it more
weather-resistant
Iron Oxide Pigment
The ingredient within

to further enhance its a
quality.

Aquaduct Support
A distinctive feature of Ro-
man aqueducts which were
built in all parts of the Ro-
man Empire, from Germany
to Africa, and especially in
the city of Rome, where they
supplied
Excavated Site
By excavating the site we create
a distinct and secure seperation
of the transport realm and the
pedestrian, utilising newly creat-
ed space effciently whilst retain-
ing exisitng infrastructre.
Continued Tradition of the Piazza
A piazza is commonly found at the
meeting of two or more streets. Most
Italian cities have several piazzas
with streets radiating from the center.
Seperation of Pedestrian and
Vehicle
Central to this design as it is
the method through which we
retain the existing surface in-
frastructure whilst isloating the
interior usable areas.
Groin Vault
Interior
Groin vault con-
struction was
first exploited
by the Romans.

88
Interior Qualities
Amoungst the many advantages a groin vault
provides besides its ability to create structural
strengthwithoutmassivebuttressformationsarein
its distinctive shape it carves out,these remarkable
artificial caves allow for not only shelter but allow
light to permiate. When combined in a circular plan
formation attention is channelled innward. This
sets the scene for a new form of stage, ‘the urban
stage’ where one is viewable whilst also retaining a
sense of privacy, where a dialogue between private
interior and public exterior is discovered.

89
Center Piazza
Circular sunken, the central piazza is an open air public area
accessable during opening hours and is bisected by the sculpture
gallery. seperated by the semi permiable exterior arches the
transition from public realm to private is felt once you pass
through and enter into this area.

90
Interior Qualities
Through this dialogue is where we begin to explore
the history of this area,Galen’s Legacy of blood and
arterial discovery and romes traditions of utilising
blood as an active ingredient in traditional Roman
concrete has led us to utilise these ideas within our
concrete structure. The inclusion of Iron oxide and
horse hair reduces cracks and provides a pleasing
lighter red tone, thereby reinvigorating the interior.

92
Galeno Plaza
This project is a message of hope and symbol of
healing.
Articulated around a newly created public space
operates as store for knowledge as a library and the
other a exhibition disseminating this knowledge.
In the heart of Rome where centuries of history
have accumulated many blockages in the system
have gathered, this intervention is in a small part
a transfusion of the arteries offering the ability for
Rome to begin recovering.
The Sunken site refers to Galen’s free and open
spirit. Challenging convention by opposing itself
to the traditional forms of doing things, the place
is not sealed away or hidden from public view but
rather to freely accessable by visitors, engaging
with them rather than becoming another consumed
product.
