'Nomadic Towers' is a pop-up pavilion for a delightful interim garden in Shoreditch, London.
The proposal caters to both the local residents and the homeless community, providing a place for where the users may shower then exchange and dry their clothes.
With the permanence of the garden being uncertain, the architecture allows for the entire structure to be packed up and transported, allowing it to and put up wherever the garden may migrate to.

During a peak of the (2020) Black Lives Matter Movement, Edward Colston’s statue was toppled as a form of protest.
Thus, in our exhibition, the statue’s vandalized plinth is enlarged and used as a central point to arrange our political projects. This reiterates our studio's ethos, to recognize the responsibility of architects to use architecture as a tool for societal and political change.

The project involves a group of University of Westminster students collaborating with Shahed Saleem (from Makespace Architects) and AKTII Engineers on a pavilion set to be installed in The Sackler Courtyard at the V&A Museum by the summer of 2021. The structure is made up of timber elements and its design is a visual representation of the British Mosque of the 17th and 18th centuries.
My partner and I were involved in the technical exploration and detailing of the dome to propose a structure that is easy to fabricate, assemble, and disassemble.

Ethos: 'May you live in interesting times'
My year 3 studio's brief involved understanding the political role of an architect in our society. We were encouraged to propose an architecture that strives for radical societal change.
Walls would often overflow with work, aiding in the visual investigative research process that we undertook to uncover and respond to the political context of the city.
