INTRODUCTION

The Island Proposition 2100 embodies hyper-connectivity.

The IP2100 spine contains a looped system of hybrid infrastructures, initiating a new symbiotic relationship between the urban centres and their supporting territories. An extensive network on the multi-regional scale provides cites with the resources to become robust and responsive to future challenges.

Ruperra Castle_A Castles Plight

Buildings do not normally have to be beautiful or functional to require appreciation. Ruperra Castle near my home in South Wales has long been a place that has held my interest, not only because of it's peculiar design but also the history surrounding it and the controversies of a recent planning application by the business owner to complete a large residential housing scheme around the site. While this was sussesful with Clyne castle in Swansea, it is my own and many other peoples opinion that such a scheme would ruin the surrounding vistas and landscape and may act as a precedent in planning procdeure when concerning our national ruins. Two years ago I completed a report documenting the history, architectural style and recent events regarding the castle, apologies if it seems somewhat outdated but as of yet have not had the time to update it to a more recent version.

Studying Controversies

How successful will New Islington be?

One of the modules of my final semester required me, working within a team to investigate a chosen architectural controversy. In a group 5, we delegated roles for ourselves and set about creating a website that explained, via a visual diagrammatic output how the controversy of New Islington Manchester developed over time. 

List of team members:

Jonathan Carter (Project coordinator)

Benjamin Hale (Webmaster)

Tim Stephenson (Reporter/investigator)

Edward Kilvert (Reporter/investigator)

Matt Parsons Brown (Statistician)

Sketching Manchester...

Afew sketches from my first year at msa, the project required us to detail Manchester through a series of sketchs and diagrams. It was my first shot at working a sketchbook and discovered a way of looking at a city in a completely different light.
