Food as The Universal Language
Beijing
In a world increasingly polarised, where cultures are in conflict with each other, it has never been more important to support and facilitate culturally diverse communities to come together and understand each other better. This project seeks to engender a better sense of belonging and engagement between the foreign expat communities in Beijing and the local Beijingers, who are being forgotten in the progress of gentrification. This new relationship of dialogue and exchange is facilitated through food as the universal language.

Transient Lives
Poetics of Habitation in the Age of Global Mobility
This project seeks to bring together two transient communities of immigrant families who moved to Somers Town, and expats travelling to work at the Francis Crick Institute. This relationship is facilitated through a shifted terrace typology housing, which includes shared common dining and work spaces on the ground floor in each unit.

The Tower that Amplifies The Voices of The People
The name of the project is "The Tower that Amplifies the Voices of The People", the project is concerned with building a safe environment for protestors and the public, that will provide a safe space for discussion and self expression.

The Silk House
In this project I am investigating the subject of gentrification by studying existing proposals in inner-city areas that are labelled as gentrifying projects. This type of gentrification means that these projects encourage new economic, social and cultural effects on the locality, and displace existing communities by increasing land values and rents to unaffordable levels.
