SITOPIA
My work sits at the intersection of architecture, landscape architecture, food systems, and ecological regeneration. I am interested in how design can move beyond visual or spatial improvement to become a form of productive infrastructure, supporting biodiversity, water management, local food networks, community life, and long-term environmental resilience.
Through this thesis project, Sitopia, a food-centered city framework for St. Cuthbert’s Garden Village, I have explored how future settlements can be shaped around farming, food production, wetland systems, and inclusive public spaces rather than conventional housing-led expansion. The project investigates how agricultural land, often treated as a development reserve, can instead become central to regenerative settlement planning. This has led me to focus on circular productive landscapes, living landscape infrastructure, and food-centered neighborhoods that connect ecological repair with everyday human experience.
More broadly, my interests include sustainable urbanism, green infrastructure, landscape-led masterplanning, water-sensitive design, community food systems, and the role of public space in supporting social equity. I am particularly drawn to projects that combine strategic thinking with detailed spatial design, where environmental systems and community needs are considered together.
