Boston's Bog Oak Recovery Centre looks to manufacture modern products by combining recovered local bog wood and recycled plastic, utilising the river on the site for transport and trade, re-instating the historic trade links, which made Boston an influential town in the 13th century.

I am a third year Architecture student from the Wirral. I am interested in architecture that expresses its structure in the design. My projects focus on long term design solutions, designing for deconstruction after use, the architecture I design develops from a structural solution.

Boston's Bog Oak Recovery Centre

Boston's Bog Oak Recovery Centre looks to manufacture modern products by combining recovered local bog wood and recycled plastic, utilising the river on the site for transport and trade, re-instating the historic trade links, which made Boston an influential town in the 13th century.

The project is designed around a concrete and steel structural frame that is expressed in the design. The envelope of the building is lightweight and de-constructable, allowing the building to be taken apart and its parts to be used in new projects. The building design also adapts to floods, the base of the building is split into 5 elements, which float when a flood occurs, these design features are part of a long-term adaptive strategy to react to rising sea levels.

Unit 2C focuses on adaptive building solutions to respond to climate change and occupant needs, which can range from short-term (seconds) to long-tern adaptivity (decades).
