I have just completed my MArch at the WSA. I am interested in sustainable design principals, modern methods of construction and conservation architecture, I have often used my university projects to build in collaboration with existing buildings/structures to further explore these topics. I am keen to learn more about sustainability and the impact of spatial environments on the well-being of its users and inhabitants. This year I have focused my design thesis around the creation of intergenerational links exploring how place-specific regeneration can support the conservation of built heritage. All the themes I have explored throughout my MArch 2 design thesis are of particular interest to me because my thesis project was located within the South Wales Valleys region where I have grown up.
