Project | 01
Project | 01 Individual Honours Project
​
Within this module, I have to produce and present 2D, 3D and 4D design information for a response to a multifaceted design project. The project is based in Belmont Row, Birmingham, United Kingdom. Belmont Row is a former Victorian factory/headquarters built in 1899. Unfortunateley in Janurary 2007 the building was destroyed by a fire leaving behind the main facade. The building is now locally listed and falls under the Warwick conservation area due to the Digbeth Branch Canal which neighbours the site. I have been given the site to produce a multi stage design proposal, the stages for this project are as followed:
​
Stage 1: Conceptual and Preliminary Cafe Design, Construction Drawings and Key Junctional Details
Stage 2: University/Education Building keeping the exsisting facade. First Location and site plan with analysis of the surrounding area, secondly, Construction Drawings, Key Junctional Details and finally a 2 Part Design Board
Project | 02
Project | 02 Research in Practice
​
Within this module, I had to undertake a sustained, in-depth and research-informed project exploring an area that is of personal interest to me.
​
For my chosen topic I decide to explore the Implementation of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to facilitate efficient Facilities Management (FM) Within this paper I explored the benefits of BIM and FM, also its potential uses on live projects.

Project | 03
Project | 03 Digital Design Practice with Exsisting Buildings
​​
Within this module, I had to practice, implemennt and execute a BIM process and collect site survey data for client representation. This will consist of observational sketches, material recognition and key data to implement into the BIM model. Within this I had to observe the Birmingham School of Art located on Margaret Street, Bimringham, United Kingdom, creating construction drawings for the main lobby/stairs and corridor. For this I worked as a team:
Aldona, Lucy, Zakiyah and Zoe. Thanks to them we were able to produce a fantastic piece of HBIM (Historic Building Information Modellng) work
(LinkedIn profile attached within gallery as agreed with team members)
Project | 04
Project | 04 Urban Design In Context
​​
Within this module I had to respond to a small scale project which aims to meet the needs of multiple users. This module encouraged constant reflection on how the built and natural environment integrated with each other.
Project | 05
Project | 05 Advanced Design & Surveying Skills
​
Within this module I had to design a low carbon house, under budget and fit for climatic conditions. South African fruit company FruitOne reached out for a design solution. These work houses were designed to improve the lifestyle of the workers and meet the needs of the community. This work includes: concept design (SketchUP), full construction drawings (Autodesk Revit), detail drawings (Autodesk AutoCAD) and Sustainable Residential Site Development render (Autodesk Lumion)
Project | 06
Project | 06 Integrated Digital Design (Commercial)
​
Within this module I had to respond to a single simulated commercial project. The Joseph Priestley Building based in Birmingham acts as the Human Resources for the university and the client reached out to me to provide design solutions to combat the thermal issues within the building. Within this I had to develop a digital execution plan, design & access statement for the works being carried out, upgrading an existing BIM model, provide detail drawings, full specification of the materials used and explain how BIM will be used pre-contract and post-contract.
Project | 07
Project | 07 BIM and Facilities Management
​​
Within this module, I was given a large scale office building in close proximity to the university (The Joseph Priestley Building) For this I had to survey the building and assess its operational efficiency of the building existing design and propose a new design layout. This design had to maximize staff comfort, improve morale within the office and productivity of the staff. This work includes a full written report on the buildings deficiency and how BIM has helped improved facilities management (doc.) The new Floor Plan, 3-D Cross Section and 2-D Cross Section with my new iterations to help improve on the prior design (Revit) and labelled call-outs explaining the new benefits and justifying furniture choices.
