I'm so happy to have been awarded the Architects Journal sustainability prize. I really wanted the project to showcase what can be done using the excessive waste earth material that leaves our cities every day. I am continuing the research on the Earthen Blanket retrofit which brings new clay systems back to historic London Brick architecture. I love the project, I love the material and I’m excited to carry on this work collaborating with fantastic tutors I have met during my time at The Bartlett."
