Hi, I’m Sam, I’m from Manchester and am in the Continuity atelier. I am interested in contextual, sustainable, and adaptable architecture. My current area of study surrounds the ‘Fun Palace’, an interactive, adaptable machine of education and leisure, and applying it to an existing theatre. Relating to architecture, I enjoy drawing, photography, and making physical models, and outside of architecture I enjoy hiking, running and ice hockey. I’m looking forward to developing some exciting ideas and designs with you guys!

On Monday 13th May, Sam and Oleh visited Alsager with the work the group had produced so far. They set up a stall outside the Alsager Civic Centre and gave a brief introduction to the local community about the project, inviting them to chat and give their comments.

Many of the locals came to chat about the work and showed great interest in the project, we were also joined by members of the local town council and local press. It was an incredibly productive and exciting day, leaving us with lots of comments and suggestions to work with.
