Game Surface Urbanism Athens, Greece 2016-7 This thesis proposes a new piece of urban infrastructure in the city, re-calibrating the neglected 2004 Olympic site where the previous scheme did not consider the legacy after the games. The proposal reactivates this site through interrogation and mapping of the Apostolos Stadium, home of the historic Football team, Panathinaikos. This mapping document acts as a plan generator on the Olympic parks surface defining zones and areas for urban development. This range of programme seeks to create a recreational centre for the Athens population linked through existing road and metro routes. With the housing of large numbers of football fans on matchdays a critical factor. The site is composed as a location for events and activity, bringing back the intensity of use which was felt during the 2004 games. The site programming can be broken down into 5 main themes to categorize the designed components:
Flooding Filtration centre Deflection Basins Weather Station
Spectating
Playing
Security
Residing
Clubhouse Away Match Stand Arrival Hall
Athletics Tracks Football pitches (5’s, 7’s, 11’s) Changing rooms Lockers
Security Centre Security Posts Fire Station
Hostel Hotel
The field is zoned through the series of linear ground strips with materiality relating to the volume of which they originate reading on top of the historic plan. Initial ideas on zoning related to activity or event spaces creating spheres of influence dependant on the associated programme . With the creation of routes through the field to accommodate the movement of fans. This was developed through incorporating the ground condition into the zoning where the programme would have an auxiliary space adjacent which relates to the activity it accommodates. (eg, astroturf sector located next to pitches to allow for warm up/ informal games.)

The Project has been developed looking towards the future and the regeneration of the city. The proposal is not seen as the final outcome on the site, rather the start of a new way of inhabiting the Olympic Park. The piece of Urban infrastructure as a placeholder for event to occupy. The events considered primarily in this thesis relate to sports and recreational activities however the field could cater for a much wider range of “events”. New programme could be introduced into the site with the architectural components acting as vessels adapting to suit the new requirements. The framework is in place for occupation of any program, adapting to the needs of the city. Usage could overlap allowing for a diverse range of users begin to occupy the site. To speculate a timeline for the sites future use would be to make assumptions for Athens’ future requirements. The city and country is still in a volatile state of flux trying remain grounded Squash Courts +toWeather Station. and deal with its problems.

San Juan Cruise Terminal San Juan, Peurto Rico 2015 The cruise hub provides an opportunity to then challenge the cruise industry and present a more social response. Agriculture has been a pertinent part of Puerto Rican heritage and their current economy through the growth of coffee, fruit, tobacco and sugar cane. However there are currently no sugar cane mills on the island following the closure of the last three sugar cane mills in 2000. Puerto Rico’s history of rum became a marketing tool for many ‘authentic’ Puerto Rican rum producers. The nearby Bacardi plant imports molasses, and exports rum to America to be bottled. The proposal aims to resurrect the production of rum in its entirety – from growing sugar cane through to bottling. Situated on an existing gap site adjacent to the shore, the proposal traces an axis north across the peninsula creating tension between the linear cruise hub building and a northern pier with an urban stair situated on the edge of La Perla – an impoverish area of San Juan. This axis draws the route of La Perla residents to the cruise hub and tourists into Old San Juan. The cruise hub then extrudes 600m out into the bay.
The linearity of the project reconfigures conventional docking, allowing for boats of varying sizes to dock across the sixteen terminal gates that are spread down the length of the cruise hub. As opposed to having distinct terminals the whole building acts a terminal with waiting areas and security points distributed at each gate. PLANS To accommodate programme flexibility the cruise hub is composed of systemised Roof level (left) access is gained from the two plazas via exterior stairs. units with individually designed floor plates and a bespoke configuration of facade On the roof level a path meanders through an assortment of crops by seating areas where views down into the walkway level panels, together with componentspunctuated frame core. andof panoramas of theand bay and stair Old San Juan can be enjoyed.

Roof level (left) access is gained from the two plazas via exterior stairs. On the roof level a path meanders through an assortment of crops punctuated by seating areas where views down into the walkway level and panoramas of the bay and Old San Juan can be enjoyed. It holds potential for solar power when boats are not docking, and the public can also freely grow and pick crops.
Walkway level (middle) is entirely public and can also function as waiting area. Middle plaza has two unit frames exposed. Moving stalls from units can be pulled or folded out, occupying different zones.

R+R [REST + RECOVERY] ANGUS BOLLAND Physical recovery and rehabilitation for the elderly. Leith Walk, Edinburgh
Rest + Recovery, Hydrotherapy Recovery Centre. Leith, Edinburgh 2015 The tectonic intervention looks to create a pool facility and accommodation in order to aid the recovery of the aging population, The project will focus on creating areas for physical recovery and strength conditioning through hydrotherapy pools and physiotherapy gyms. The health facilities are located within a concrete plinth with bedrooms created with a lighter weight metal frame above. These zones are connected through stair cores. The building proposed will provide facilities to aid the Rest + Recovery of residents as they look to return home. Communal areas in the building offer a flexible space multi use space, with on-site staff accommodation. Ease of accessibility in the building is an important consideration due to the needs of the protagonist. The health and spa centre created will also be accessible to elderly local residents allowing them to maintain a level of fitness in a relaxed environment with their own established network of friends. The building can therefore begin engage with the local community as it becomes a centre for the community and not just the immediate residents.
Key Project Themes: Plinth + Frame - The accommodation units sit as a lightweight steel frame atop an expansive concrete bubble slab. This creates a grand piano noble floor and terrace with views over the medicinal garden. Completing the urban block - The site is bookended by two existing buildings on the Leith Walk elevation. Datum points from these neighbouring buildings set appropriate levels in order to complete the urban block. Changing Environments - The proposal deals with two contrasting environments, the busy street (Leith walk) to the east and the access lane to the west.
