Space Narratives
I conducted a comprehensive case study on Cardiff University's Bute Building, analysing architectural elements and using this knowledge to creatively reimagine a spatial environment.
PHASE 1
EXPLORING THE FORM AND SPACE OF THE BUILDING
I translated the section and annotated how to space was originally used. I then added the new additions to the building in pencil and wrote out the measurements to help understand the scale.

PHASE 2
TRANSLATING THE BUILDING
When imagining the space as my own I converted the physics lab into a cinema room as the room is partially underground it optimises more space for the step cinema seating.
I transformed the seminar room into a social area with a cafe and the library into a quiet relaxing area with sleeping pods and bean bags.

MODELLING THE SPACE
When imagining the space as my own I converted the physics lab into a cinema room as the room is partially underground it optimises more space for the step cinema seating.
