My projects focus on grounded speculations into future potential markets looking to take traditional architecture tropes and mould them into playful spaces with dual focus on public interaction and industrial process.

Oceanic husbandry

Unit 1A speculates on new futures for important sites that have reached the end of their useful lives due to recent socioeconomic shifts.

Oceanic husbandry looks to reinstate all facets of what once made the Liverpool docks such an influential place, looking to the future industry of lithium extraction from ocean water it links to Halewood motors and acts as a precedent for other deteriorating dockland sites across the world.

With input from the Liverpool Victorian society, it looks to reintroduce the heritage of the site, providing public tours and educational spaces as a public attractor and then changing event spaces as a way top have repeat visitors in which a community can be built around.
