Ornate sustainable design structures (cont)

This is a design concept for a PV panel installation as part of a larger project on sustainability which can be found within this blog. These trees are connected to the street grid to allow for larger amounts of energy to be collected. I will later come back and fulfil this concept as I thought these pieces could become quite ornate pieces of art within the gardens

Florence Music Institute

 

A project based upon a derelict grade 2 listed building within Liverpool, The Florence institute, located in the Dingle district. The project was to find a new purpose for the building, while keeping to grade 2 regulations. This project was one of 3 final year project in which i received a 90% mark. The brief indicated one large room to be created within the building, I chose to design the whole building to accommodate my design a music hub for the community. Since this project was completed The Florence building has now been redeveloped. Below is an example of a design page from my portfolio explaining how one room can change function:
