Falkner Square Pavilion
Location: Liverpool, United Kingdom Module: Design 2.1 Year: 2012
Project Brief The design exercise for Arch201 consist of a small 2-storey permanent pavilion which should be designed in detail. The term pavilion is to be understood here in the sense of a building that can be used for a number of functions, not always fixed in time. It can be hired for a variety of private events such as small exhibition or musical performance but it is not designed specifically for any of these potential uses, but rather for all of them. It is to be staffed during the day and closed at night, unless an evening function is being held.. Brief asks students to consider the external appearance as carefully as you consider the internal qualities of your design. You may want to maximise the connections between inside and outside or on the contrary treat one of your solutions as a completely closed object.

Design Approach PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT
Square (or Park) has a rich history going all the way back to WWII. Having this in mind, I developed the initial design concept based on an army concrete bunker constructed at battle fronts. The idea of military bunkers influenced pavilion massing in a way that final product looked like a heavy geometrical free standing form. Pavilion consists of two identical cubic forms. First part contains main hall and services. This section of pavilion is entirely made out of concrete. Second part of pavilion goes around the main hall, this was done to give a sense of safety and security to the whole composition. Second part of pavilion has rusted steel cladding. This choice of material was fully based on its aesthetic and colour qualities. Corten with its eye catching colour has a strong effect on people who are passing the square and encourages them to come into the park and spend some time there.

Design Consideration According to the brief, pavilion is meant to host variety number of events. Centric form best suits this demand therefore we have a square hall in the middle while secondary hall (first floor) looks down to the ground floor. This gives the possibility of accommodating more people for any show (performance art in specific) which takes place on ground floor. (image 4,6) There are not many openings on building external skin, firstly in order to create a dark dramatic space while narrow light rays coming in through them, secondly to emphasis on concept and small openings of military bunkers. (image 1,3,6)

FIRE STATION
1
Location: Liverpool, United Kingdom Module: Design 2.2 Year: 2012
Project Brief Freestanding fire station is located on the corner of Grove Street and Oxford Street. The fire station will predominantly be used by the crew stationed there, but the service which is provided by the fire bridges is for the benefit of everyone living and working in the station catchment area. Response to the location needs to be considered in two way firstly, how does the fire station sit on the site and how does its layout support the operational aspect of the station, and secondly how does the building present itself to its surrounding. a The building must be designed in a way to accomodate all the rooms in only two floors. Internal and external horizontal and vertical circulations between the three main components of your fire station needs to be carefully considered.
Design Approach
PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT
Site immediate surroundings had a major impact on the building massing. Fire station has set back in order to mirror the green space on the opposite side of junction, and keep the urban rhythm. This also gives fire engines quicker approach in times of major incidents. Different functions are divided into two groups. Primary function is operational and secondary function is fire fighters domestic needs, such as rest rooms, gymnasium and etc. All functions are allocated in two floors. Ground floor is dedicated to operational functions and first floor houses domestic functions. Horizontal lines on Grove street elevation, while working as louvres to prevent building over heating, also gives the sense of continuity to the people who pass the building. On the other hand exposed concrete columns look like pins which fix the fire station to the ground.

Shading system are allocated on each window to minimize any extra light gain which leads to over heating. Louvers also have aesthetic roll which was mentioned previously. (image 7) a There are three large doors allocated on the rear side of fire station in case if there are any blockage at the junction engines would be able to leave the station quickly. (image 3) a

Corten steel is the primary material used on the facade. Few reasons brought me to choose this material. First of all its colour has direct connection to the building function which is fire station. Corten brown colour works very well with brick buildings around it while in the mean time create a pleasant contrast with the vegetation on behind the station. (image 1,6)

PRIMARY SCHOOl
Location: Liverpool, United Kingdom Module: Design 2.3 Year: 2013
1
Project Brief Brief asks to design a one form entry Primary School (for children aged 7-11 years old) on the plot, located between the Fire Station and the Nursery school. Your task within this module is to design a building on a given site that appropriately responds to its context, demonstrates a good degree of knowledge as to the appropriateness of the use of structure and materials, considers environmental concerns and provides a coherent layout with the other two buildings. For this exercise you are encouraged to consider primarily the site and context of the project, provisionally ignoring the programme. Your response to the site needs to consider how the building presents itself to its surroundings and how it relates to your previous projects.
2
Design Approach
Massing played an important role toward achieving mentioned principles, a form which tries to adopt to its surroundings rather than struggling with it. The proposed cross shape seemed like the best way to link fire station and nursery together. Safety plays an important role when it comes to designing a school for young kids. For instance playing ground which students are most likely to be seen by public is located on the rear side of site to minimize kids exposure to public.
PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT
There were two main criteria to start with design of the primary school. First it was urban continuity and second criteria was to create a safe environment for kids studying in the school.
Main elevation expresses two different languages. Ground floor is primarily glazed regarding to light penetration into the corridors. First floor has a lattice wooden frame which raps around the whole Grove street elevation. Lattice frame was the solution to reduce kids exposure to public.

Design Consideration Main hall has a curtain wall first of all to bring light inside, secondly to remove barriers between the main hall and the playing ground and make these two come as one. Curtain wall is closed through most of the year, however it can be opened to let fresh air come inside the hall and naturally ventilate interior space. (image 4) Classes are facing west which gives them the opportunity to be naturally lit during study hours (from 8 to 13 o'clock). To benefit the most from this source, large windows are designed in order to let light deeper into the room. (image 4) Inside the wooden lattice frame there is a range of colours applied. As a passenger inside a moving vehicles passing the school, it looks like a rainbow that constantly changes. (image 6) Ground floor front wall gradually sets back, it creates a cantilever. The cantilever provides a shelter for students and parents coming to the school, it also introduces the entrances to the building.

WALKING THROUGH GALLERY 1
Location: Liverpool, United Kingdom Module: Design 3.1 Year: 2013
Project Brief This semester design project mainly focuses on material application and material should be the main driving force behind design process. The objective of this project is that the student will understand the sourcing, production and application, both historical and current, of their allocated building material and the effect which the use of particular material systems will have on the design of a medium-sized building, and will demonstrate how such a building, constructed of a limited material palette, can respond to an urban site in an appropriate and sensitive way. Students should do a detailed design of the gallery and other small related functions (cafe and shop) while considering material limitation.

In terms of material consideration I chose conventional bricks using stretcher bond to lay them out. On the other hand rusted steel was chosen because it relates to site heritage and Liverpool's old and industrial background.

For this specific project we were allocated to separate groups and given different materials to use. I had to use only brick and steel plus glass. This brief brings out limitations in terms of quality of space, structure and etc.

Design Approach
Brief asks for multi functional gallery to host number of different categories of art. Because different arts require identical spaces to host them, I created individual spaces to suit every demand.

Design Consideration Whole journey within the building takes visitors to an exploration of site and identical space. Each space gives a different feeling to building occupiers; these spaces are only created by careful consideration of material qualities. (image 3,8) PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT

The long corridor located at the end of the journey is one of the spaces mentioned above. It has gives the sense of heavy atmosphere which tries to interact with visitors by simply removing few bricks in order to let the light come into the space. (image 4,5,6,8) Public can either choose to walk through the gallery or just simply pass the building. However there is an open courtyard in the centre of site host street arts, street theatre and etc. Both ways either inside or outside, there is something for people to interest them.

Main elevation gets the shape of a staircase and slightly lifts from ground. This works both as a gateway to allow public walk straight through site without any interruption and also gives an idea to people who walk pass the building to get an impression of what is going on inside. (image 1,3,7)
