Michelle Evans- Intergrated network of performance, wine production and local trade spaces.


Site analysis, programme and conceptual ideas. Looking at the contrasting atmospheres and activities of the bottom of the hill and the top and creating a programme which links the two, filling the void. Using the varying associations connected to wine (Sacred in religion and overindulged in Moulin Rouge area) as a way of connecting the two. Therefore creating pockets of space intergrated into the landscape which incorporate a wine and local produce market for locals, a wine production area, performance space and viewing platforms, as well as an urban retreat to 'cleanse people of sins.'

Anna Beer-Initial Concepts

Initial concepts for my design were to do with the growth and expansion of Ile de la Cite, a tendancy to flooding, and the loss of the knowledge and academic significance the city has acquired since the middle ages.

Anna Beer-Meteorological Research Base


Using the geometries of an orchid I am exploring symmetry and reflection which will eventually characterise the aesthetic of my intervention on the Square de Verts-Galents, Ile de la Cite.

George Guest - Hearing Laboratory

Manipulating Sounds using different shapes and materials in order for blind people to navigate via the reflected acoustics within a space.  A space for testing the navigational skills, research  laboratories, training centers, receptions etc will also be included within the design.
