Romina Arellano-Templer

My design approach lies within interior architecture with a focus on user-led design. Specifically, providing innovative solutions for otherwise disused buildings with the intention of new users truly benefiting from the space.
I am inspired by the notion of identity and expression. I believe that design can have a huge part to play in exploring these aspects of people and can go a long way in improving the mental-health and well-being of individuals and whole communities.

The Re-Build Project populates the Generator Building in Bristol forming a micro-city, also known as the neighbourhood, within its walls. It is a Centre of connection for refugees to connect both with each other and with the wider community. Its key focus is to create a place for young refugee’s in Bristol to communicate, connect and express themselves without the reliance of language, bringing communities together from different cultures, worlds and stories.
