WEBSITE BUILDING : ABOUT ME

                                   BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT ME






My name is Manuela Boaduwa Xose Mantey. I am a Ghanaian, and I am currently studying Architecture design in the United Kingdom at De Montfort University. Since my childhood, I have been fascinated and inspired by the work of ultramodern, deconstructivism, and neo futuristic architecture. Ghana has a blend of ancient and modern architecture that tells a story of its past. I find architectural features of tall and large abstract buildings of particular interest. I was also drawn towards this segment of Architecture because of the way designers can freely express themselves.

It is located in Cromwell, Connecticut directly opposite the St Elizabeth Seton Church. The area of the site is 79,119.77 m² and the total perimeter is 1,138.3 m. The site consists of four main apartment blocks, underground parking, ground-level parking, playground as well as an outdoor lounge not forgetting the garden. The image above is of vegetation that has currently been burnt down. However, in my site plan, I included new layouts of plants that will be cultivated to restore nature's balance.

                                 JEAN NOUVEL- MONAD TERRACE This post is mainly an expansion of my previous post regarding my idea generation. The Social Housing sector demands precision and the ability to experiment with varying ideas. Hence, this task I would say was coincidentally given to me to challenge me and pull me out of my comfort zone.  For this blog, I will conduct research into Jean Nouvel who was and still is one of the most influential and creative Architects France birthed.  JEAN NOUVEL  Jean Nouvel was born in the year 1945 in Fumel, France.
