Utopia Building
The concept behind this creation was looking at the changing environment and could happen in the future. Due to global sea levels raising to unprecedented levels i envisioned a floating city in response to this, but also one whereby we could navigate this potential ocean world.
The city itself would be covered in solar panels of varying colours in order to absorb as many spectrum's of solar energy as possible in order to create power.
​
The super structure can also be separated into 4 parts which would enable each part to be autonomous.

Jigsaw Building
The concept behind this was a response to the lack of social housing. Rather than utilising just one or two sides of a building, This building will use all 4 sides of itself. the roofs and base of the building are also completely covered in solar panels and and energy generating pavements very similar to the pave gen concept which creates 2.1 watts of electricity per hour. However at full capacity the structure could potentially generate more more power. To encourage this, I would also create a garden feature on the outside of the building as well as a kids play area and seating arrangements.
Compact Tower
One Key issue Which we face in Urban areas in the 21st century is space and use of it. Space has now become a premium. As a response to this issue of I've created a concept prototype Structure using blue Styrofoam which I call the compact Tower. Its key feature is the ability to both maximise its structure and also minimise space used. It does this by expanding and retracting. This also adds aesthetic and environmental value to the building.
The Rose
This is concept art for a building which I call the The Rose. I'm going to try and recreate this Using Rhino.
Floorplan
A small floorplan of a friends flat which I created using photoshop. While correct visually, Unfortunately I didn't have the laser distance measurer to do the exact measurements so I just did it all by eye.
