This project explores how temporary changes into large-scale buildings, currently out of use, can minimise the effect of redundant empty spaces within the city and bring new life to its surrounding area.

The selected site is No. 6 Victoria Street, a historical Grade II building listed by the British Heritage, intervened to create a gallery. The proposal consists of a wood frame construction right in the centre of the building, which helps to divide the interior space into three different sections. At the heart of the wood frame is the exhibition area, which is directly connected to the screening room placed above it.

This multi-functional gallery provides a range of spaces for the exhibition of different scale artworks, from small paintings to large sculptures. The proposal has double-height corridors which allow visitors to admire the display of diverse pieces of art, the space is also divided into two floors in some areas; the latest for the creation of different rooms such as exhibition halls, café, office and shop.

MA Interior Architecture and Design

The MA Interior Architecture and Design is a multi-dimensional course which incorporates the understanding of interior, spatial and architectural design alongside an awareness of building structure.

The course is an intensive 53 week in length, and it is divided into three successive terms: Certificate, Diploma and Masters. The DIPLOMA SHOW is the conclusion of Term 2, launched in July 2021. At the end of Term 3 October 2021, the same students present their MASTERS SHOW before entering into industry or further studies.

The course has a very strong studio-based culture which is reflective of professional practice, with a combination of design and skills-based teaching and exploration with a strong focus on the spatial investigation, humancentric and holistic use of space.
