Designing a community hub for all of Treherbert's animated beings, everything from people to small fauna and big flora.

Inclusivity, co-existence and everyday joy, celebrating the wonderful vibrancy of everything possible to their own scale and territories.

The study and understanding of 'territories' was key to this unit and I understood it as the ever-changing, animated negotiation of beings. This led happily to thinking about each being individually (and their points of intersection) and how they should be considered in the design.

I used animatics at various points of the process to capture a feeling that I wished to design for. I approached a lot of the work through the eyes of an animator and followed how they set up a narrative, a scene, to create my proposal. Mixing this approach with architectural studies, such as Townscape, created a blend of mediums that I found worked in my favour for the themes addressed.

This has been an enjoyable project for me as I have found a way of working that suits my design style. It is not as rigid as previous approaches I have tried and it allowed a sensitivity to how the proposal would be used that I have not had previously.
