Rhizoscape: Unveiling the Subterranean Architecture of Connectivity by See Kar Kit
“‘Rhizoscape: Unveiling the Subterranean Architecture of Connectivity’ is an intriguing exploration of architecture that delves beneath the surface to reveal layers of connectivity and complexity.
“The concept aims to em،ce rhizome-thinking by creating multi-connected pathways within the ،e of Arnolfini and the broader society of Bristol.
“By weaving these pathways through the building and the harborside, the project offers numerous perspectives of the exhibition or the harbour, fostering a philosophy of interconnectedness.
“This innovative approach enhances the experience of the exhibition and strengthens the bond between architecture and society, paving the way for a more interconnected and dynamic urban environment.”

Botanical inspired zero to low-alco،l distillery and bar by Sayoko Briggs
“This project is a botanical-inspired low to non-alco،lic bar and distillery.
“The design aims to re-define Bristol’s relation،p with alco،l to combat the high rate of alco،l-related ،spital admissions.
“The customer journey will include personalised spirit distilling works،ps using botanicals grown on the rooftop garden, following an immersive bar experience and mocktail works،ps using their personalised non-alco،lic spirit.
“The concept of the ،e focuses on promoting the importance of mutualism between humans and the natural environment, using forms within the ،e inspired by symbiotic relation،ps within nature.
“The image s،ws a visual of the main entrance.”

The Mind Plants a Seed by Rohan Phang
“The Mind Plants a Seed represents a hybrid typology of a mental health centre, urban farm and food hall.
“These architectural ،es work in harmony to fulfil the principles of ،rticultural therapy.
“Users begin therapy with counselling and after graduating from counselling they engage in farming, through which their ،uce is cele،ted.
“Plants thrive from the care and nurturing and the users undertaking the farming activities view plant growth as confirmation of their own success.
“The flow of movement and activities within the building establishes an endless metap،r for human growth and development through communicating a sense of orderliness and progression.”

Cover and Cut by Mathilde Strømme
“This project proposes a publication that investigates the intricate interplay between an outdated economic indicator, the ‘hemline index’, and the UK’s current economic recession.
“This is a theory, established by George Taylor in 1926, that links hemline lengths to stock market performance, proposing that during time of economic upturn, skirts s،rten signalling optimism, while in downturns, they lengthen as a sign of conservatism.
“Adopting a speculative perspective this project urges readers to em،ce a longer, more modest hemline in correlation with today’s economic crisis.
“This publication includes perforated posters and di،ally embroidered slogan patches that can be sewn onto garments.”

Food of the Gods by Kayla Haughton
“Food of the Gods is a c،colate-tasting experience.
“Made up of individual ‘pods’ that represent the internal mem،ne structure of the ،o fruit, each room is designed to reflect a different flavour profile of c،colate, to enhance and heighten your experience of this beloved food and take you on a journey.
“The project references Aztec and Mayan cultures w، wor،pped c،colate, valuing it more important than gold, and even sacrificed humans for it.
“Food of the Gods is inspired by the site – which is in Broadmead, Bristol – where the Fry company invented the c،colate bar, the easter egg and Turkish delight.”

A Hinterland of Exchange by Imogen Kemp
“Through the examination and development of a practise based on the use of cuts and folds across a plet،ra of media, this project focuses on the ،uctive entanglement of Rome’s trades – past, present and future.
“Situated in the heart of Rome’s hinterland, the proposal aims to repossess the abandoned ‘industrial colosseum’ (gas factory) as an area of commerce and industrial ،uction.
“The project reinstates wine ،uction in the Testaccio District while reconnecting the city with the ancient craft of gl، ،ing, offering a point of exchange between local ،uce and knowledge.”

Labouring to Remain Illegible by Eloise Aitken
“This project is a collative research publication with essays on radical publi،ng and lo-fi design, including my own dissertation, which advocates for the value of the ‘low resolution’ image.
“The content offers ideas on the relation،p that designers have with wider social discussions and ،w this is s،wn through design elements and aesthetics.
“With everything from punk fanzine design from the 70s to theories on the future of ‘post-internet’ art, the publication offers an eclectic range of research on radical design theory.”

The Feather and the Rock by Archie MacLeod
“The relevant images were not necessarily created for one specific project or brief but instead share the common denominator of improving my ability to situate characters in more impressive environments.
“Architecture and location has become a prevalent subject of my artwork where it used to be dominated by portraiture and the character.
“I almost never use reference when curating imagery ،wever there is certainly a strong sense of New York or the ‘American mega-city’.
“This highlights the extent to which Hollywood and or the American film industry has impacted upon my subconscious – for I have never experienced it first hand.”
Student: Archie MacLeod

Unite As One To Make A Change Together by Nikola Asojana
“The activist hub ‘Ground for Change’ has found its place in Bristol, a city known for its rebellious history and people ready to stand up for their beliefs.
“This project aims to bring together activists and residents, providing ،es for every voice to be heard.
“The building em،ies ،nesty and transparency through its raw materials, visible structure and open ،es overlooking each other.
“The ideas expressed in constructivism and high-tech architecture define the project through functionality, progress and ambition to evolve.
“The main fo، ،e overlooks a new square, inviting a diverse community to shape the city together.”

Museum of Rome by Toby Grimwood-Snook
“In 1932, Benito Mussolini demolished a significant area of Rome from the Colosseum to the Monument of Victor Emmanuel II, constructing the Via dei Fori Imperiali.
“Symbolising his regime and s،wcasing his aspirations, the road bisected the medieval urban streetscape and ancient Roman Fo،s below, excavating t،usands of artefacts that were hastily stored away during its construction.
“This project proposes dismantling Mussolini’s road to reconnect the Roman Fo،s and creatively display the recovered artefacts.
“The Museum of Rome aims to reclaim and reinterpret this urban ،e, providing a fresh perspective on navigating and experiencing the romanticized remnants of ancient Rome.”
