We caught up with Nedal to hear more about his time at Westminster, the ideas behind his award-winning work, and what lies ahead in his journey as an architect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What originally drew you to study undergraduate architecture at Westminster?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nI was first drawn to the University of Westminster having researched some of the best universities for architecture in London. However, it was the open day and OPEN exhibition that helped me to make a final decision, with the creativity and ambition evident through the work.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhy did you choose to stay at Westminster for your postgraduate studies?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nMy decision to stay on for postgraduate study was shaped by my personal experience during my undergraduate years. The support from tutors throughout all three years was constant and meaningful. I also admired the level of work I saw year after year in the Master\u2019s programme, so continuing here felt like a natural step forward.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nCan you tell us about the project or work that led to your award?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nMy project this year, entitled ‘Memories of the Untold’<\/em>, is a speculative journey through a reimagined Havana, told through the mind of a Cuban farmer, Miguel. An invisible, ordinary hero who guides us through the city\u2019s hidden layers.
<\/p>\n\n\n\nInspired by Franz Kafka\u2019s Metamorphosis, <\/em>the project focuses on buildings as spaces that exist where public and private life meet, and where culture survives through everyday rituals. In a Cuba facing political pressures, Miguel preserves what is being lost: community resilience, shared memory, and lived tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/wearewestminster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2025\/07\/Memories-of-the-Untold-507x1024.jpg\")
