The brief was to design two porter’s lodges for the two entrances of the University of Bath. We were asked to make best use of the materials that we were given. My materials were copper as cladding and circular hollow section as the structural element.

After analysing the uses of copper I decided to use pre patinated copper for a more modern look and to prevent the aging effects. As copper can be easily bended, I made a curved design for both lodges. The designs are different but have a common language. The difference arises from the sites that they are located in as one of them is flat and the other one is sloped.
