A proposal to re-develop a squalid site on Leeds' fashionable Briggate. The addition of a world class auction house and a medieval street typology, aim to conjure up memory and sentiment into the highly developed commercail area- Architecture is designed to make the city as beautiful as possible, with its ability to inspire curiosity, diversity and surprise. The design process followed a deep exploration of ornament, antiques and the psycology of a collector; the work culminates in SLS Rapid Prototype models, these serve as collectors items themselves and sit proudly, amongst other curios, in museum style presentation boxes on my bookshelf.
