New Pairideza is an imagined, self-sustaining city inspired by the concept of paradise gardens (Charbaghs) from the Mughal empire. The charbagh of paradise, Pairideza, looks to resolve modern-day climate issues which are becoming increasingly popular in society. In order to design a community and city which enhances the spatial experience of man with nature, the garden utilises concepts used in carpet construction.

The basis of this thesis explores the characteristics of food spaces through a shared analogy of the terms raw, medium, and well-done. The terms refer to various levels of spaces ranging from local takeaways to fine-dining restaurants and are explored through a first-hand critical investigation. These ‘third places’ (Oldenburg, 2005) offer an environment in which authentic food is eaten, cooked, and shared, but importantly, ones that serve as a cultural anchor for migrants in a diverse city such as London.

The British High Street is dead. Burslem Basilica is a sustainably-forward architecture that will bring a new meaning to the high street typology. Key spaces such as the Supermarket LARP arena as well as the Garden of Eat’n food court are central to the programme, reviving a sense of community in what is known as ‘Britain’s most depressing High Street’. Created by recycling shopping related objects such as trolleys, baskets and shutters into structural material.

The mixed-use building features commercial space on the ground floor, followed by vertical domestic spaces with a inside-out approach to services, creating a unique envelope for the building. Developed for the local, immigrant Vietnamese community in Hoxton, this poject explores ways of consolidating living, working and socialising in one space.
