About Me
I came to study architecture at the University of Strathclyde in September 2014 after I finished high school. I accomplished a First Class Honours in BSc (Hons) Architectural Studies with International Study. I am now currently working towards to completing my postgraduate degree of MArch Advanced Architectural Studies (validated by Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Part 2 educational criteria).
During my second year of study in the undergraduate course, I completed a summer internship in China's Shandong province in an architecture and interior designer firm. The company gave me my first insights into practice as well as my first international experience. Projects I mostly worked on were shopping malls, nature resorts and some landscape architecture across eastern China.
I then participated on the Erasmus exchange programme in the second semester of my third year. I studied urbanism in Barcelona with focus on the urban regeneration of Avenida Meridiana. The architecture school took us on a pilgrimage around central and eastern France where we visited many monasteries as well as Corbusier's La Tourette and Notre-Dame du Haut.
The exchange programme ended in late June when I was offered 12 months work experience at MAST Architects in Glasgow for my RIBA Part 1 experience. I continued to work as an Architectural Assistant at Coltart Earley Architecture on a part-time basis when I commenced 4th year. During the honours year I developed and proposed a Micro-Brewery in Govan that mixed hospitality and industry to establish an educational experience and tour around the brewery. I submitted a dissertation based on urbanism in Mumbai with focus on qualities of informal settlements that must be preserved for urban interventions.
I began the Masters by participating in the International exchange programme for semester one in Santa Cruz De La Sierra. Whilst travelling the continent, I developed the basis of my architectural design and politics thesis. Currently I am working towards the completion of a Masters dissertation due in august, which concludes the final part of the postgraduate course.
