I got to showcase my project, The Fabrication Library, at the Architecture End of Year Show. My project was a library that aims to stitch together the surrounding communities through specialised facilities, inspired by the historical link to Liverpool’s fabric industry.

Having a small cohort means that the lecturers can get to know students more and there is increased availability of support or inspiration. The open-door policy in the studio also allows for constant interaction between staff and students, creating a great working environment. In addition to the main studio space, everything is located within 10 minutes of each other, making the facilities easily accessible.

The School also supports students with securing exciting placements. I plan to complete a year’s placement in an architectural firm where I will gain the experience and skills needed in the industry. I would like to pursue a career in design, specifically focusing on the collaboration between architecture and graphic design, which I have been able to explore throughout this degree.
