After
gaining honours in RIBA accredited Part 1 Architecture at Nottingham Trent
University Jessica relocated to Shanghai China working as an Architects Assistant, letting her break
into the Chinese construction and redevelopment market.
After
following the extensive program in Shanghai Jessica continued her studies back
in England at Oxford Brookes University reading a Masters in International
Architectural Regeneration and Development. This has let her build on an
understanding in the fields of anthropology of architecture, urban conservation,
rural development and cultural sustainability, promoting a critical thinking
and analysis with creative design.
The role of professionals involved in the rehabilitation, regeneration
and sustainable development of the inherited built environments around the
world is to respond to this ever-changing context in a critical, dynamic and
creative way. More innovative approaches and new ways of thinking have now
become essential to secure a viable future for historic urban environments,
traditional settlements and the world’s vernacular architecture.
After creating strong relations with Chinese Clients Jessica has been
able to work alongside architectural practices in the Asian market bring her expensive
knowledge of international architectural regeneration and development into physical
practice. She has played a major part in the Chinese Shenzen City, Guangdong Project
‘Shekou Network Valley Development’ offering office and retail space
together with public open spaces, designed with strict sustainable design
principles. The project optimises the high performance in many smart technical façade
methods such as glazing systems, pre-heating/cooling air intake system, heat
recovery, solar photo voltaic panels, wind turbines and rainwater collection to
name a few.
