I spent our school of architecture research week in Rome accompanying a BA2 field trip. The emphasis of the excursion was how C20th architects have used the city as source of inspiration and the representation through sketches, drawings and painting that resulted from their experiences. Furthermore an interrogation of the methodology of drawing was encouraged amongst the students. Below are some examples of my attempts.
Originating from the Cotswolds Niall completed his degree in architecture at the University of Portsmouth, where he was nominated for the RIBA Presidents Medal Awards, before undertaking a placement year at the Bristol based architectural practice Alec French. He returned to Portsmouth in 2009 to read for a diploma in architecture, receiving the SPAB's Philip Webb Award for his first semester project, before completing a semester abroad at the Technical University in Vienna, studying architectural design and architecture theory with Will Alsop and Kari Jormakka respectively.
Amongst a broad appreciation and enthusiasm for architecture specific interests within the subject area include; architectural history and theory, building conservation and the theory concerning the application of new interventions within existing built contexts.
