Explore the profiles of this year’s graduating class.

Emerging from current energy exigencies and environmental imperatives, this project engages with these challenges by exploring the future of a soon to be redundant coal fired power station at Fiddlers Ferry. Investigating infrastructure within the dynamics of this ‘energyscape’ has revealed multi-dimensional complexities, barriers and externalities that span the critical divide in contemporary ‘rurban’ landscapes.
I have explored how biocentric and anthropocentric entities can be cultivated to expand the functionality and performance of this landscape as a biomass facility, post closure, with the objective of proposing a new relationship between landscape and energy of global significance.
The design introduces connectivity to the currently severed and detached landscape, through new layers of infrastructure. Connections are defined by geometric circulation axes which transect dramatically ‘folded’ vegetated mounds at multiple scales and mesh the iconic cooling towers as a re imagined and refunctioned industrial heritage.
