Hey! I’m Ollie

I am from Guernsey. I did my undergrad at the University of Plymouth and have taken the last three years out working in a small RIBA Awards nominated design-led practice. I am passionate about all things architecture and always looking how I can improve my graphic communication throughout. I have a wide range of transferable skills in Revit, Sketch-up, the Adobe Suite and Enscape which I’d be happy to share with you! This year I have been part of PRAXXIS Atelier.

Outside of architecture I love watching sports, playing football and going out with friends.

Moving forward, I am excited to meet all of you and collaborate on this exciting community-based project.

May 16, 2024: Design Presentation

Today we were privileged to present our final resolved design concept to Calum, a member of our collaborators In-Situ. Throughout the presentation each member of the team was able to focus on a specific element of our design process undertaken over the last two action weeks.

The feedback received from Calum was insightful and overall, he was extremely positive about the scheme proposed by our group whilst posing questions as to how In-Situ would be able to proceed further with the proposal in the future.

Introduction to our Collaborators: In-Situ

Artist led group In-situ was founded in 2012 by Paul, Kerry, and William with aims to integrate art with their local environment. Their work is centred around the intersections of ecology, youth engagement, and community discussion which informs their interdisciplinary approach towards placemaking. The idea of inclusivity guides their collaborative approach towards their sites of interest. As a company, In-Situ pursue a non-hierarchical directive, prioritising community engagement within the area of Pendle and reaching out as far as Lahore and Texas. The collaborators believe that design should be flexible and responsive, allowing for communities to take responsibility for spaces, allowing them to develop and evolve overtime to meet individual’s needs.

During these two action weeks, we'll collaborate closely with Calum from In-Situ. He'll guide our group's efforts and offer crucial feedback along the way.
