Year 3
Located at Cringle Dock Waste Transfer Station in Battersea, the project explores how architecture can respond
to increasingly fragmented patterns of attention and digital living. Surrounded by large-scale redevelopment while remaining an active industrial site,
Cringle Dock represents a tension between Battersea's past and the urging need for new housing and urban redevelopment.
The proposal rethinks high-density student living as a more sensory and collective experience,
where architecture encourages awareness of light, sound, material, and landscaping.
The project explores how living and industrial sites' contrasting conditions can coexist while reconnecting them to a more sensory approach within our day-to-day experience.
Carved sectional voids, water, marshland and programmes such as bathhouses are used to create sensory-stimulating
and more reflective environments within the intensity of the surrounding urban context and our daily living spaces.
The project ultimately proposes a future model of living that reconnects people to physical space, shifting our attention back to "the content of living."
