Hello, everyone! I'm Sara Uggetti, a BA1 student. I was born in Italy but am also from Chile, both places displaying differences in culture and architecture. I have always had an interest in architecture in the way that it shapes the way we live and tells the story of a space. Through this year I have enjoyed exploring how architecture plays a role in our decisions and the way we look at the world. I'm excited to be learning how this thinking is reflected in the real world through this project, furthermore exploring how to work with constraints such as budget, materials, and eco-friendly designs. I'm looking forward to collaborating with collaborators and my other team members!!

17/2/26 Site visit

We visited the site and met with the Friends of Worthington volunteers to better understand the space we will be designing for. This visit was extremely helpful, as it gave us a clearer understanding of the clients’ needs and expectations for the project. Being on-site also helped us identify practical challenges and environmental considerations that may influence our design decisions. During the visit, we discovered that a fox den is currently located in the area where the seating is planned. As a result, we will need to collaborate closely with the volunteers to ensure that any changes are handled ethically and responsibly, allowing the foxes to safely relocate to a suitable alternative area before construction begins.
