This portfolio presents the work of Sarah Evans, a recent BA (Hons) Architecture graduate from Newcastle University, seeking a Part I Architectural Assistant role. It is aimed at architecture practices and showcases her final year project and professional experience.
The main project, titled 'Act Natural', reimagines the Eric Tolhurst Centre in Blyth as an upcycling workshop and vintage market for young people. It was informed by co-design workshops with students from Bede Academy and celebrates Blyth's industrial heritage.
The portfolio includes analysis of spatial conditions through collage, exploring concepts like front-stage and backstage in Blyth's landscape. It also documents model-making that applied constructivist ideas and transitions between spaces.
Technical drawings are included, such as floor plans, sections, and elevations at 1:20 scale, showing construction detailing and material assemblies. The drawings cover the workshop, market, cafe, and mezzanine spaces.
Work experience is documented with a three-week internship at Edable Architecture in Blyth, where she contributed to conceptual design and created a 3D model in Sketchup for an interior building project.
