Leeds Introduction

The city became a major national and international supplier of cloth,coal and iron. The town has a mill,a mine and a forge

Leeds was granted a borough charter

The textile industry has gradually played a important role in Leeds industry.

There is a big shift in Leeds industry. The glory of industry faded. There are many industrial heritages left in Leeds.

Leeds has become woolen production and trading center.

It is a time of industrial diversification in Leeds.

Serive and business sectors grew by32000.

South Bank Introduction

The South Bank is one of the largest and most important regeneration and growth initiatives where the significant textile heritage Temple Works lies on. It refers to an area south of the River Aire where a number of investments and proposed activities are being targeted to achieve large scale regeneration. It is one of Europe’s largest regeneration areas.

Challenge

“I want a more vibrant hub of places. More bars and restaurants and to know it’s like a community.”

“Lots of trees, sweet chestnuts, possibly fruit trees, varieties that look great in autumn- i.e. Japanese maples/ katsuras that smell wonderful. Trees that engage people and encourage them to enjoy nature, not just peripheral anonymous greenery.”

“Lots of cool, quirky, unique shops/bars/public spaces to really continue putting Leeds on the map as one of the UK’s coolest and most forwardthinking cities.”

“Use of heritage buildings contrasted with the new modern buildings; a good viewing platform across the city.”

“A riverside walkway, cafes and bars etc. to encourage recreational use of the riverbank. I’d love to see new markets and inventive retail spaces similar to those in London e.g. borough market, Camden Town.”

Case Study

Temple works Temple Works, a Grade I Listed Building modelled on the Egyptian Temple of Horus at Edfu. Built between 1836-40 it makes a striking contribution to the street scene, dramatically distinguishing itself from the functional form of other buildings in Holbeck. Where they exist, decorative buildings in Holbeck are extravagant expressions of revival architecture, demonstrating the wealth and global influence of industry.

Temple Works, also known as Temple Mill, comprises an office building and factory. The office building has a stone facade consisting of 18 full height windows each separated by 18 pillars with an overhanging cornice in the Egyptian style, based on the temple at Antaeopolis and Temple of Horus at Edfu.

Cast-iron columns held up the ceiling and doubled as drain pipes. The ceiling itself had sixty-seven large conical skylights which were to allow the maximum amount of light to work by. When the building was first created it was said to be the "largest single room in the world".

An unusual feature of the Temple Works building is that sheep used to graze on the grass-covered roof. This served the purpose of retaining humidity in the flax mill to prevent the linen thread from becoming dried out and unmanageable.

Case Study

Marshall's Mill Marshall's Mill is a former flax spinning mill on Marshall Street in Holbeck. Built in three phases between 1817 and 1830, it was the most prosperous flax mill in Leeds. The building conveys in large-scale some of the prevailing characteristics shared by industrial buildings in Holbeck. Six storeys of regularly punched vertical windows create a strong pattern and create a low solidto-void ratio. Now, the exterior is remained and the interior is retrofited to office.

landscape view

The 'U' form of the complex creates a court at the center where is the place to design the landscape. And arrow lines show the good view sight of the site.

Concept

WEAVE 1900s and 2020s are both the best period for Leeds. I propose to weave the history, the memory, the treasure and construct a bridge linking to the previous and the moment.

'Weave' public space × building Base on the challenge of 'Green Space', more public space and landscape are inserted into the urban.

River Aire water system and Leeds railway system are two significant systems for the textile industry. The project is located on the joint of two systems, which weaves the Temple District.

water × factory ×

railway

residential

The planned functions of future buildings mostly are residential. The existing building structure is projected to remain. It not only saves costs but also reserves heritage value.

Textile industry Textile is the typical industry in Leeds. The concept 'Weave' is the respect to the city history and heritage memory.

There are various architectural styles in Temple District, which represents the Victorian period buildings diversity. I propose to apply these styles in modern buildings.

Inspired by the roof of Temple Works where sheep are grazed on it, the site can also be a ground 'graze' the pedestrain. The area next to the Print Works is a place providing a place for the public to take leisure, and it is also a joint between riverbank and the emple Works. This is the first proposal of the playground.

ARC6889 Reflections on Architectural Design

REFLECTIVE ESSAY Yue Zhan 200201823 School of Architecture University of Sheffield

INTRODUCTION

Our studio theme is about remodeling, retrofitting, and regeneration in Leeds. The topic talks about the city regeneration, the urban development, the building design, and creating a suitable and friendly environment for people who live in Leeds. We try to find some urban, social, and building problems according to research and then solve them with architectural strategies, in that case, wakening the bloom of the historical city and bring more new blood to the city which is in process of urban renewal. The methodology of the studio is that everyone selects a site in Leeds which is undergoing regeneration or is going to be regenerated. And we use series of approaches such as case studies, modeling, material study, sketch to do some research and provide a reasonable and creative design solution from social, special, structural, technological, material aspects. In semester one, the studio focuses more on prophase research such as case study and site analysis and gives a brief conceptual idea about an individual project. In semester two, we talk more about some specific designs considering technology, structure, materials, elevation, etc. My project is called Print Works which is one of the Temple Works regeneration projects. It is in South Bank which is one of the largest and most important regeneration and growth initiatives where the significant textile heritage Temple Works lies.

COLLECTION/MAPPING COLLECTION/MAPPING

Regeneration in Leeds is not only about the city but also the people who live in the city. Therefore, the research part is divided into two parts. First is heritages and existing buildings in South Bank. The other is collecting what people expect the city to be and their needs when they live and work in South Bank. In the 17th-18th century, Leeds has become a woolen production and trading center in the United Kingdom. And in the 19th century, the city became a major national and international supplier of cloth, coal, and iron. At the same, many buildings especially industrial buildings were constructed to counter industry blooming. There are not only native-style buildings, but also some exotic-style buildings, such as Italian tower and Egyptian temple.

Some listed heritages around the Print Works are also part of the Temple Works Regeneration project. The intention of making a heritage buildings map is to extract elements from listed heritages to inherit some hieratical elements and probably apply them in the Print Works project. After searching for some basic information, such as time and grade with the site on the Leeds city council's official website and digital documents, I went to Leeds for field trip research. Field research can offer a better opportunity to know the latest situation of these existing buildings and the real scale of the architectural elements. Here, I took some pictures and sketched the iconic part extracted from the heritages and mark them on a satellite map. During the field trip, I accidentally found there is a plan which is about a 10-minute walk route in South Bank, which inspired me to make a map(fig 3) to show the importance of my site and it is also a reminder alerting that the connection with the surrounding point needs to be carefully considered during the design.

COLLECTION/MAPPING

I interpret the documentary interviews to collage drawing, which can vividly show what people thoughts about city regeneration. The mapping of what is the public space gives a few imaginations of what activities can happen in the public and how can we use the public space.

I also sort out some interviews and surveys from South Bank Leeds Regeneration Framework supplementary planning document launched by Leeds city council to find what people living and working in South Bank need. According to the surveys and interviews, people in Holbeck are looking for more leisure space, pedestrian space and landscape in the city center especially in the residential area. fig 8. what is the public space?

Needs

These mappings clearly show the relationship between people and buildings and buildings themselves and can give me instruction and logical thinking about the situation of the site. They are strong evidence and the foundation of further analysis and design.

fig 5. important challenges for South Bank

The consistency of the population would also be researched and considered. I collected the data about the population group and make series of diagrams such as occupation, age breakdown, household types as the reference for the design of the new buildings. Young people aged between 20-39 are the main group and one-person household and one family household with two-person takes 80% in Holbeck.

“I want a more vibrant hub of places. More bars and restaurants and to know it’s like a community.”

“Lots of cool, quirky, unique shops/bars/public spaces to really continue putting Leeds on the map as one of the UK’s coolest and most forwardthinking cities.”

“Use of heritage buildings contrasted with the new modern buildings; a good viewing platform across the city.”

ANALYSING/PRODUCING

As for a project based on the existing buildings, the prototype and model approach can be typical and useful for my design. The advantage is that we can easily learn from the features from the existing buildings and inherit some of them. However, it may limit some creative ideas about regeneration. According to research analysis and project concept, the project is separated into three main volumes, the front one is the previous print works which are asked to remain, other two volumes are office and residential respectively. 'Green Space' such as leisure space, landscape, garden are inserted into not only the site but also the building.

Restricted to pandemic situations, there is no access to the historical library. Most of the materials were from the digital library. Based on these digital materials, I made a digital model of the existing building and did the analysis on the site.

Following the future planning skyline and the height of surrounding buildings, it allows 30-60m-height new buildings to be built on the site of Print Works. Because the front of the Print Works is asked to remain and Water Lane is the main road in South Bank, the area near to Globe Square is most suitable for main entrance and more design such as some landscape or sculptural construction can be considered for opening space. In terms of the ideas of ‘green space’, the site is expected to be more open. Inner road or pedestrian path is proposed to set in the site, which is naturally formed by the gap between the three volumes.At the same time, the extension of the inner path can connect the surrounding existing buildings such as Temple Works on the southeast and Tower Works on the north.

fig 13. analysis of implement of 'green space' on Print Works fig 14. physical model of proposal and connection

Considering the implement of ‘green space’ on buildings themselves, the discipline of axis on the site is also seen as the ‘transparent space’ for not only the people who live or work here but also the public who can participate in the area and bring more energy to recall the vitality. ‘Green space’ can also be inserted into the building such as the free space on the ground floor, leisure space in the office and residential, or the roof garden on the top. More real green space offered by plants can provide good views and environment and more public space can provide people and pedestrian to get relax in their free time.

The physical model is an efficient method to test the proposal. To analyze how the ‘connection’ works, I made a physical model of existing buildings and the proposed project and think about how the ‘bridge’ can link the new and the old. The significant buildings and points are modeled by 1:500. To make it clearer, text annotations were added in the follow-up processing. On the north through the Globe Square is Leeds and Liverpool Canal where people would like to jog beside the riverbank in the afternoon. On the south is some famous heritage such as Temple Works and Marshall Mill. In that case, the bridge (maybe a pedestrian bridge) is a good link between leisure space and heritage building.

ANALYSING/PRODUCING

fig 15. interior structure of Temple Works

Cast-iron columns held up the ceiling and doubled as drainpipes. The ceiling itself had sixty-seven large conical skylights which were to allow the maximum amount of light to work by. When the building was first created it was said to be the "largest single room in the world".

office

Heatherwick Studio prefers making physical models of their concept when they come up with proposal. A typical feature of the building can present the identity of the building. Regeneration of the Print Works is based on the project of Temple Works Regeneration and textile culture in Leeds. Therefore, I made both a digital model and a physical model of the featured structure of Temple Works to analyze and interpret it into my proposal as a tree structure applied in office and leisure space.

Structure of

fig 16. Maggie’s Leeds, Heatherwick Studio, Temple works 2012, Leeds, United Kingdom

The forms of windows on Marshall Mill are diverse. There are many types such as rectangle, circle, and semicircle. The material and manufacture also are the example for this project to apply on the facade design. Brick materials can reflect the atmosphere of historical buildings, however, windows of different shapes can reduce the dull of facade materials, making the facade more visually rich and interesting.

REPRESENTING/COMMUNICATING REPRESENTING/COMMUNICATING

The visual representation can express much information to the reader. Not only basic information, such as spatial scale, functional division, and structural details, but also the atmosphere, emotion, and preference can be express in a drawing. For buildings that have not yet been built, the expression is not a luxury, but a necessity to test, communicate and sell ideas.1 Computer-aided drawing is now a commonly used form of expression, but manual models can make the plan more authentic and credible. Models are not limited to two-dimensional paper expressions. It provides various possibilities for observation. In other words, the size of the project can be viewed from different angles. Not only that, because the construction of works is affected by the same laws of physics, models can be used as an important tool for understanding structure and conceptualization.

REPRESENTING/COMMUNICATING

The pink color representing the pedestrian zone on the master plan of Temple Works Regeneration District is continued on axonometric drawing. And, the striking color can catch the reader's eyes on the main idea of the project. Axonometric drawing(fig 20) can provide an overall view of the relationship between building and environment. Silhouette people in the drawing can show the vitality and activity of some part of the site.

Section drawing(fig 21) can clearly show the interior space such as the structure, the function, the floor, the furniture, and the activities. Section drawing can clearly show the interior space such as the structure, the function, the floor, the furniture, and the activities. The shape consists of a section line outline the discipline of the building. As showing that the existing building is freely shaped by the section line while the new building has more order.

REPRESENTING/COMMUNICATING

Collages of office and residential units (fig 22) clearly show the atmospheric environment and the structure in interior space. Elements of the green and brick material represent the concept of ‘green space’ and regeneration of existing buildings. Tree structure learning f r o m Te m p l e Wo r k s f e a t u r e d structure is applied in the office which is the symbol of the textile industry in Leeds. Physical models (fig 23) show the form of the façade with different shapes such as circle, arch, and rectangular, which is inspired by the Marshall Mil window prototype.The model person can be a reference to interior scale and how people act in this area.

CONCLUTION BIBLIOGRAPHY Reflections on architectural design go through the whole design processing from the research phase to the final representation result. And I have learned many approaches during the course and can corresponding apply them to studio design work. What impresses me most is the difference in design and thinking process between this academic year and my previous architectural study. Previously, I would put my eye more on the representation and result of ideas. However, I realized that architectural design is not only about design, but also collecting data, making mapping, analyzing, processing the proposal, and expressing the project with various methods. The physical model is an efficient method to elaborate the project and push the design process. I use this method in the processing and communication phrases. Our studio tutor told us at the beginning of design work that if the physical model can be made and the real building could be constructed, which reminds me of the importance of making a physical model. Model not only helps the designer to think about the work but also makes the public understand the project directly and easily.
