The project will be a small educational\/apprenticeship centre with additional residential components for short and long period residencies, a workshop, caf\u00e9, offices, shops and two visiting centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Located in Mid-Wales in a farmhouse, the project will include the nine existing blocks, three of which are Grade II listed buildings. In addition to designing a intervention and two new residential blocks (terrace houses and dorms for students), where the timber craft will be presented at all scales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Some of the techniques for integrating was using the facade to create \u2018inhabited\u2019 walls, as well as creating social \u2018pockets and corners\u2019 in the massing and in the public spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The project gave me the space to investigate project management, where I had the opportunity to interview the client, the National Trust, with a diverse set of users (Locals\/Syrians\/Students), funders and stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Exhibition-scaled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mappedsites.cardiff.ac.uk\/wsaexhibition\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2020\/07\/Exhibition--1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"Inhabited and private walls.
