Project title Sincil Bank Community Food Project
Project description With an increasing number of people suffering from food poverty, this project creates a community space in Sincil Bank. It offers a community kitchen, food bank and social area, offering easily accessible support. It uses passive energy methods including natural ventilation, solar panels and a ground-source heat pump. A modular steel frame makes up the structure, allowing for further expansion. The single-storey layout mirrors the journey of food preparation: from food bank (collection) to kitchen (preparation) and social area (consumption) – all divided by atriums.
Tutor citation The project is anchored within a rigorous understanding of place, with the attendant social, cultural, political and economic characteristics of site thoroughly explored to extract a clear and focused brief for development. Marina Hendricks, Liam Swaby, Trevor Elvin

Project title Flux, Dwelling in Uncertainty
Project description This project challenges Heidegger’s static concept of dwelling. It explores the evolving and symbiotic relationship between individuals and the buildings they inhabit. The project focuses on a research station at Spurn Point, a constantly shifting peninsula between the North Sea and the Humber Estuary. Through interventions, the design captures the essence of constant change, reflecting the certainty of transformation. This project redefines dwelling in a fluid and responsive manner, engaging with the concept of flux to shape our understanding of architectural spaces.
Tutor citation Lois’s project is nurtured, intriguing, and provoked by ambiguous environmental ephemera. The transient moments that the building records invite us to thread our way through the atmospheric halls of ‘Flux’. Peter Baldwin
