The purpose of this blog is to document and follow my educational progression in the field of architecture. It was first set up in 2011 as a tool to share my experience on the MSc Architectural Technology and later on the Master of Architecture at NTU. The content and purpose has constantly evolved over the years and it is now a tool to assist my registration as an architect through the RIBA Studio Certificate.

Tackling Desertification Through Architecture
Magnus Larsson has a proposal to build a 6000km living sand dune across the entire continent of Africa. The structure is made from bacteria that reacts with the sand to form a structure. It would be habitable and could provide homes to African people whilst tackling the spread of the Sahara.
