During my final year I wanted to test what I had learned during my journey about creating an artistic but effective approach to a meeting a brief. I experimented with a unique winery in my first semester and looked to bring what I had learned about the creative process to my final project. The brief calls for a new outpost for the Royal College of Art in Liverpool city centre as a hub for Fine Art, Product Design and Fashion Design. I chose to imagine the project through the eyes of a prospective student of the school (which felt only natural) and decided to create the proposal as a blank canvas internally. The building reconnects the streets surrounding the site through a central atrium with frosted glass walkways and a cascading stair. This atrium ties a set of floating studio spaces to a long, linear spine of serving spaces so that the ground floor gallery and studios above can be completely flexible and host a grid to slide partitions along. These partitions allow the students to create varying arrangements of spaces within the studios to allow for complete freedom of study and movement. The proposal became hugely focused on flexibility and longevity of the school for years to come as an solution to an innovative, sustainable school that didn’t create an obstacle for creativity of the students.
