In our technologically driven world, it can be easy to lose sight of the human dimension; that magical granularity that gives meaning to life and brings stories into tangible focus. This year, Emilia peeled past the cosmetic and delved into the painful, the difficult and the hidden. They met a diverse array of fascinating people and explored their deepest insecurities. From investigations into the psychology behind fainting, to comprehending the less romantic side of an inspirational architectural figure, Emilia learned more about the elusive cocktail of life, love, and loss that feeds our dreams and our nightmares, our imaginations, and our reality, and often takes up residence in our homes.

The presented project work was undertaken as part of the following modules (in order of appearance): History and Theory of Architecture, Documentary Radio - A Practice-Based Introduction, London Architecture V, Architectural Research III and Design and Creative Practice 3 (compact).
