Hello, my name is Alliah, and I am a 5th-year MArch student in the AND Atelier.

In 2023, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Reading, where I focused on cultural and vernacular architecture through a linear and historiographical visual art style. I also have a strong interest in pedagogy and construction detailing.

I spent a year in industry working in London as both a Part 1 Architectural Assistant and an Architectural Building Regulations Consultant. During this time, I managed projects from appointment and concept design through to snagging and handover. My experience at one of the UK’s leading firms in luxury retail architecture allowed me to operate on both micro and macro scales, managing projects, handling tenders, and engaging directly with clients.

While studying at MSA, I have developed a keen interest in ultra-sustainability and community development, which I explore through iterative rendering and visualisation. I aim to continually refine my skills in software such as V-Ray, Lumion, and Twinmotion while also improving my pedagogy skills to help others optimise their own.

Outside of architecture, I enjoy playing the piano, keeping fit through horse riding and running, and, most importantly, getting a good night's sleep!

Please feel free to contact me on Mahasin.Nadeem@stu.mmu.ac.uk. I am excited to begin our work together!

Day 2!
We kicked off the day at 10am with a presentation from Kenneth, who walked us through the different areas of Hulme Park that the students would be rendering and visualizing. Once most of the group had arrived, we split into smaller teams focused on Enscape, Lumion, and V-Ray. From there, we began exploring the basics of SketchUp and Revit. Students started downloading the software and exchanging early ideas with one another.

This afternoon saw slightly lower numbers than this morning, however our individual tutorials continued. Our Vray team were busy creating grass scatters, figuring out great ways to combine guests in order to create diverse context. Similarly, our Enscape team were busy using photoshop, polishing up renders, ready for feedback. Due to the slower morning, this afternoon did lack some energy, however student output was on track for our final presentations.

The final day consisted of finishing up the final edits. Sophie worked hard completing the publication while I wrote up the last of the text. We all jumped on a video call to discuss final objectives and uploading, so let's cross our fingers everything is right! We all came together, glad and happy to have achieved everything in the past two weeks, reminiscing on our struggles and our wins.

We would like to extend our thanks to our BA students; Francesco, Joseph, Nicola, Raihan, Yumiko, Arena, Auriane, Layla, Noemi and Zhu. Working together on this fun project has been made better by your hard work and excitement to learn!

Additionally, we would like to show our gratitude and appreciation for our tutors, Jason and Emily. Your guidance and advice has helped create a group project that has been a joy to experience.

Finally, to our collaborators. The experience of joining together on such an impactful and important project for such a special park and community has been an honour and privilege. Thank you Marc for your advice and enthusiasm throughout our time working together!

Sincerely Friends of Hulme Park
