This years brief : Edgeland Chimera,

Semester 1 The Edgeland Chimera Prototype ( a fantastical experience driven hybrid design)

Site : Jericho Canal Towpath

Semester 1 is focused on designing a temporary outbuilding prototype to support Edgeland living on the Jericho Canal Towpath, creating adaptable living spaces for canal boat residents within planning and barge constraints. The design must deconstruct and travel on the canal boat.

Semester 2 The Edgeland Archipelago

Site : Collage Cruisers Jericho

Semester 2 developed and scaled the Edgeland Chimera prototype into a flexible, community-focused public architecture for canal boat residents, artists, and the College Cruisers business at Jericho.
