Jewellery Quarter Construction Project: Double Skin Facade
BSc Architecture (RIBA Part I), Year 3
The double skin facade sits in the building and acts as a buffer zone similar to a trombe wall. The facade's main design features include the perforated brick design to allow light into the building whilst also keeping an element of privacy (the facade is therefore angled to the south). This facade also used brick as its main material to mimic the Jewellery Quarter architectural style in a contemporary fashion.

Construction Model
BSc Architecture (RIBA Part I), Year 2
A 1:20 scale construction model of a timber beam and concrete column wall connection. The construction model uses a wide range of material to signify the different materials used in construction.
- Grey Board = Concrete
- White Mount Board = Steel
- Cardboard = Timber
- Nails = Screws
The above materials were used to signify the concrete foundation and column being held together with a steel plate, and timber beams being supported onto the column with a metal beam hanger.
