This was the first project of the year and i admit: not the one i am most proud of, but i did come across and fall in love with Rooftop Architecture. It seems to highlight the finest aspects of the city, it enriches and diversifies it with a similar excitement to graffiti. As well as creating space where there was none before it creates access to desirable environments, which are private and with great views.

| From My work |
I identified these things as of most interest:
- being able to see all the people below living out their lives.
- giving a feeling of seeing the bigger picture of many of those lives being dysfunctional and miss-focused. This elevating stress and having a calming effect.
‘A vintage point from which to view the city’s residents and the city itself as it and they go through their daily motions, and fool yourself that you are somehow above it.’
I then moved on to look at what one does in a day, how it is spent. I looked at my own, recorded 3 days of my life and translated them into a graph. Which let me view it from a new point of view, to translate them into spaces.
Then the spaces and activities in them were connected to different sights visible from the roof tops.
Have a look at the presentation board for more.
