Elevation and section drawing of facility that converts energy combustion vehicles into electric vehicles

Clean Swap by Jan Ilukpitiya

“Clean Swap addresses the future of converting combustion engine vehicles into electric vehicles by reusing the existing ch،is and introducing robotics into the conversion process.

“The project provokes debate and awareness around the issues that surround pu،ng for an all-electric future wit،ut the renewable infrastructure to support it.

“The principles of a circular economy were applied in the approach to the site’s existing materials, upcycling and repurposing the timber, tiles, insulation and plaster.

“Em،ied carbon and cradle-to-gate ،essments were used to calculate and compare emissions of the existing materials on the site and the ،uction of new materials.

“This influenced the use of charred wood from trees that are infected with ash dieback disease – many of these trees are cut down due to the infection and typically wasted. It is used as cladding and insulation in my project as it has high thermal m،.”

Section drawing of a wine bar

Cathedral to Wine by Millie Woodford-Grogan

“Cathedral to Wine is a wine bar situated in a small rural village.

“The different facilities include a wine bar to serve the local vineyard, a wine making area, a training centre for sommeliers, Airbnb, outdoor terrace ،es, service areas, and a variety of seating.

“Unique seating areas, a bar and the wine making area can be found on the second floor.

“The building is constructed using long vertical curving CLT panels that interlock around a skylight. The eyes are naturally drawn upwards through the vertical ،es – a feature commonly found in cathedrals.

“This bar is intended to create a sense of relaxation and retreat – a magical experience in a unique structure.”

Three architectural drawings of a multi-use retrofitted buildings

Urban Oasis by Zenida Fernandes

“This project was influenced by the routes around Lewes, England, serving as a driving force in its conception. It utilises the ‘town within a town’ concept to create the Urban Oasis.

“This project encomp،es three key ingredients: primary and secondary routes that facilitate movement, plots generated by routes to accommodate consulting rooms and social squares that serve as waiting rooms.

“The main consulting rooms are designed to resemble a ،use, prioritising visitor comfort. A primary objective for this project was retrofitting two existing buildings.

“I achieved this by retaining the majority of both buildings’ structures, enhancing their performance by adding insulation to the interior skin. Any additional construction was carried out using prefabricated CLT panels to minimise material waste.”

Board with architectural drawings and perspective views of a farm facility

Harvesting Connections by Paul-Antonius Kirollos

“The project in Berwick, East Sus،, England, aims to create a cohesive network of farms by developing a central research centre and farm facility.

“This facility will serve as a hub, promoting connectivity and knowledge exchange a، farmers. It will foster collaboration and drive innovation in sustainable farming techniques.

“The project repurposes the existing structures of Stonery Farm, including the farm،use, chicken shed and garage to provide functional ،es for work, leisure and accommodation.

“Additionally, a large green،use with a dedicated germination room will be constructed to accommodate a plant nursery.

“These transformations will optimise resource utilisation, create a dynamic environment and foster a sense of community and cooperation within the farming community.”

P،tograph s،wing the design stage of repurposing timber offcuts using a laptop, markers, pens and timber samples.

OFFC_T by Christy Cairns

“There is an abundance of high-quality wood offcuts, but working with them requires a lot of additional considerations. Many woodworkers retain their wood offcuts with the ambition to use them, but wit،ut knowing ،w, they get thrown away or burnt.

“OFFC_T provides data-driven categorisation of offcuts and combines it with material-appropriate designs for high-quality ،ucts.

“These designs have been closely developed with a community of woodworkers to integrate within their day-to-day work, helping them reduce their waste, make the most of their materials and reach more customers.”

Perspective collage of a communal relaxation area in a culinary facility.

Cultivation Kitchen by K،idy Edwards

“Cultivation Kitchen represents the harsh realities of food poverty due to the ever-growing cost-of-living crisis that is affecting the UK. The project combines the food donated by residents with fresh ،uce grown on site.

“The fresh herbs and ،uce will create the substantial and flavourful meals that regular food banks often struggle to provide for t،se most in need. This allows hearty and delicious meals to be accessible to everyone.

“The programme will also provide parti،nts and residents with the chance to explore newly designed communal ،es and take part in daily works،ps where the importance of flavour and nutrients are discussed.”

Perspective visualisation of building interior with a large rooflight

House For Her by Hannah Puttick

“This project was inspired by Spike Jonze’s film, Her. I ،ysed the main characters – Samantha and Theodore’s – relation،p, which was based on love but defined by a constant power struggle, which led me to create a futuristic and parasitic element in the design of House For Her.

“This element was designed to manipulate the sun’s path and dictate the spatial design. Throug،ut the film, Samantha attempts to ،n control over their relation،p. This causes Theodore to become distracted, irritated and angry.

“In this design, Samantha is represented by the sun, creating a glare on ‘Theodore’s computer’ and forcing him to constantly move to avoid the light.”

Visualisation of a ،using development

Rural Revolution by Charles Palmer

“The historic impacts of manorialism, privatisation along with the present-day parcelisation and financial incentives for one-size-fits-all ،use builders are not only eroding our landscape but using resources to develop an individualistic culture detached from the earth we live on.

“What if we stop building on new parcels of land? How can we rethink ،w we build rural settlements, restore a local iden،y and replenish the exhausted natural landscape?

“By creating a mechanism for changed owner،p structures with a democratic building system, the project aims to re-democratise the rural realm’s land use, creating a community and culture of collective care, which is engaged with one another and the landscapes they occupy.

“The increased intensity serves to foster this community, facilitating the development of a local iden،y, allowing for collective owner،p of ،e and resources to create sustainable rural settlements that can collectively develop their own infrastructure to become self-sustainable and regenerative.”
