Cole Kelly

Cole Kelly is a Part I Architecture Graduate currently seeking his first opportunity in a prestigious London firm. He graduated with a commendable 2:1 from the Leicester School of Architecture, De Montfort University, where he honed his skills in various architectural design principles, sustainable building practices, and urban planning. During his time at university, he participated in various workshops and seminars that allowed him to engage with industry professionals and gain insight into real-world architectural challenges. He also completed a placement at a local firm, where he contributed to several projects, gaining hands-on experience in the field.

This is Cole’s final year studio project for a riverside theatre in Berlin, designed with innovative features and complete with accommodation for travelling performers. This ambitious collection is meticulously modelled using Revit and Rhino, and expertly visualised in both Lumion and Photoshop. The project not only showcases architectural aesthetics but also integrates functional spaces that enhance the experience of both performers and audiences, emphasising the importance of cultural venues in urban environments. Additionally, Cole’s design incorporates sustainable materials and energy-efficient solutions, demonstrating his commitment to environmentally responsible architecture. The project reflects a deep understanding of the interplay between form and function, as well as the cultural context of the site.

Furthermore, the project was inspired by the historical significance of theatres in fostering community engagement and cultural exchange. Cole conducted thorough research on existing theatres and their architectural evolutions, allowing him to draw inspiration from various styles and adapt them into a contemporary context. This research phase was crucial in shaping his design narrative, which focuses on accessibility and inclusivity for all visitors, reflecting modern societal values.
