A statement discussing why I want to study architecture at Manchester School of Architecture (MSA)

Studying architecture in MSA offers a unique opportunity to interact with the city's rich architectural heritage while benefiting from a university campus life and comprehensive curriculum. When I was visiting the city, I found it as a living laboratory for architectural exploration. There are remarkable instances of Gothic, industrial and modern architecture that have impressed me. The city is also subject to continuous development projects such as renovations and skyscrapers, which would provide me with exposure to urban redevelopment and iconic buildings. Besides architectural location, MSA is distinctive through its two-university program, large student society and practice specialist lecturers. Getting access to twice the resources, being in a collaborative culture and learning from expert guidance attracted me as an international and open-minded student.

I used artline in this piece to emphasize the specialities of the museum. The historical structure can be seen through the clean lines and details.

Cave House- 3D Model

By styrofoam, I made the appearance of cave and rock formations. Red color was also a significant choice to relate Bell’s red cube design. So my final work is a cave house made of red cube shapes surrounded by fairy chimneys and rocks.

Green Building Nursing Home Project

This green building retirement home project combines sustainable design and provides a peaceful, eco-friendly living environment. I used cardboards for my house, wood sticks as columns and architectural furnishing. First, I did sketches of my building and plan of the building. Then, I started to shape cardboards in an order and finalized my project by adding architectural furnishing and figures. In terms of finalization of my project, I went to a retirement home to gather information about how to apply this design into reality.
