Model making experimentation_ Green Hero









This is the 1:100 model of my design proposal for the second year, second semester, the heathrow airplot project. The proposal is named as 'Green Hero' which is an 18 metre, five-storey vertical farm tower. The focused key word of the project was 'experiment', and I made model as part of experimentation.

Finsbury Avenue Square



Finsbury Avenue Square was my case study site for second year streetlife module. The reason why I choose this site is the space has unique atmostphere and it’s a really unusual feeling. So I wanted to explore detaily abut this landscape. The square at the heart of Broadgate’s financial district. Broadgate is home to a lot of the world-class financial companies such as the Stock Exchange and the bank of England. With the context of rapidly growing financial area, Finsbury Avenue Square was designed in co-operation with the client, architects Skidmore,Owings & Merrill and Townshend Landscape Architects. The square measuring 55,347 sq ft, is a sophisticated white, paved public space flanked by red oak trees and acers. Interactive sunken lighting features bring the square to life at night. Moreover, a stylish subterraneanrestaurant, seating areas and public arts make the square more unique in Broadgate district.
