The concept for the project is to create a new community within Digbeth and in turn bring back the old community of Mosley Road Baths. This was a place for people to either appreciate by themselves or in the company of friends and enjoy the experience, over all the theme of wellness is expressed here. The ideas used within this have influenced the project as the elements which are still key to this day of creating an enjoyablehave been brought through to this project. In addition to this, in order to make the project current and fit with the themes of modern-day life and the life in 100 years, there have been additional elements included within the project. These are not only the buildings included in the site but also the integral part of the site itself, this being the sustainability of it along with the materials and how the landscaping helps to bring people through the site.
Ruby PhelpsBIO
An enthusiastic and ambitious architecture student, I aim to appreciate and recognise the potential architecture has to understand and therefore, exemplify, the physical and social elements of the city.
I am currently engaged in a project experimenting with how architecture can create a social hierarchy, recognising the implications this has on the human scale. By curating an ‘extreme’ outcome, I look to highlight the social diversity that is prevalent in today’s society. I am interested in understanding the multiple layers and how this can be abstracted to create an architectural form that is contextually aware.
My interests in architecture focus on social issues where sustainability to society is important to the vitality of spaces. I am keen to learn new skills to develop further ideas and approaches to architecture and the built environment.
