“Expedition through an Exhibition”- Armada Interpretative Centre
It becomes more than a job but a lifestyle. My intention for the Armada Centre was to create a building which evoked an emotional response due to the harshness and heaviness of this historical event. By building into the slope and creating a grass roof my design aim was to stimulate the feeling of entrapment, whilst the courtyards allowed for reflection on the sad events of 1588.
The North-West has striking qualities I can’t help but get immersed in, that inspire architecture. The visual beauty of architecture is made up of many components, architecture is more than a building but a beginning of a story which is formed by an understanding of identity, place and culture. I’m a travel enthusiast and a dreamer, and architecture is a platform which combines both. Architecture gives me the opportunity to work abroad, immerse myself in culture and be inspired by design around the world. It becomes more than a job but a lifestyle.
