WELCOME This review celebrates the outputs and activities of the Architecture students and staff here at the Liverpool School of Art & Design.

Last year we validated new versions of our programmes, restructuring modes of delivery to encourage integrated holistic teaching within two stage design modules that imbed historical, theoretical, technical and environmental support studies within enquiry-based projects. At undergraduate level, predominantly, the city of Liverpool is still used as a contextual laboratory to test concepts that have a local flavour with global implications. The postgraduate studios offer opportunities for explorations further afield. In all cases, programmatic ambitions emanate from a thorough analysis of, and intuitive response to, place. The over-arching ambition of our programmes is to create graduates with artistic flair who engage in divergent, creative and critical thought processes that are also technically skilled and grounded in the demands of the professional role of the architect.

This year, we seek revalidation of our programmes from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), and the Malaysian Board of Architects (LAM). We received full unconditional four-year prescription from the Architects Registration Board (ARB) in May and have visiting boards from the RIBA & LAM in June.

We have continued to run a rich a varied schedule of events some of which are summarised below.

In September, we hosted the second in a series of international ‘Housing Futures’ conferences titled ‘Government and Housing in a Time of Crisis: Policy, Planning, Design and Delivery’. MArch Year One studio outputs explore many of the issues discussed over those two days.

In October we ran workshops abroad in Paris & Genoa, the latter forming the basis of many of the MArch Urban Design outputs this year. In January three of our BA Year 3 students won prizes in a competition to design a temporary school building for disaster relief scenarios as part of The International Finsa Award for Students of Architecture & Design. Also in January we staged our annual Architectural Symposium, this year on the theme of; ‘The Display, Exhibition & Propagation of Architecture’, with a day of presentations and debate. Later in January, we showed the outputs from the Master of Architecture studio; ‘Infrastructures’ – an exhibition of urban design ideas for Genoa and Runcorn, which will be followed with a related publication later this year.

It has been a successful year for many of our staff in terms of published research, and we have included a brief summary herein. For studio teaching, our staff develop speculative work that addresses real world issues, informed by their own research but also by our associations with cultural, professional and civic institutions in this city and beyond. Such collaborations nourish the thematically focussed activities of our students.

I would like to thank our student Architecture Society, for continuing to organise such a rich variety of social events, including this year’s ‘Making’ guest lecture series and a university sponsored two-day trip to Edinburgh for its members. I would also thank the guest tutors and critics that play such a vital role in enriching our studio culture.

Thank you, also to our catalogue sponsors, we take pride in our links with them and their support.

Finally congratulations to all our graduating students, whose work you will find within these pages, we wish them well for their own futures. It is never possible to capture within so few pages the full vibrancy of the School but I hope the contents of this document provide a taste of its creative energy.

PARIS

Each year the BA Workshop Abroad visits a European city, and this year took place in Paris; students from both Second Year and Third Year participated in the five day trip. Experiential learning from visiting and studying buildings and cities is a fundamental part of Architecture students’ education, and the trip was structured so as to meaningfully inform concurrent studio project work.

Amongst the objectives of the Workshop were for the students to develop an understanding of the development of streets and public spaces, their role and links within their context, the connection between interior and exterior spaces, and the role of street and square in city life as a socio-cultural phenomenon. Paris proved to be a fascinating place to study, in particular because of the richness of the buildings and urban places studied, both contemporary and historic.

The trip took place early in the first term so that on return to Liverpool these multi-faceted studies of urban spaces directly informed the students’ studio work, in which they were generating urban design proposals for a site in the city. Having conducted detailed analysis of numerous urban squares in Paris, students were able to apply what they had learned to their projects thereby deepening their learning experiences.

Some of the highlights visited included: urban design interventions by Haussmann, Villa Savoye, Cité du Refuge, Garnier’s Opéra, Panthéon, Mémorial des Martyrs de la Déportation, Pompidou Centre, and Louis Vuitton Foundation. The trip also included a visit to the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Paris La Villette, where a stimulating lecture by the Paris-based practice Chartier Dalix had been arranged for us to attend.

GENOA

VENICE

Our ongoing engagement with ‘Second Tier Cities’ has taken our Master of Architecture programme to Porto, Marseille and Hamburg over the last 3 years and this autumn we spent a week in Genoa.

This historic port city is a former European Capital of Culture, with World Heritage Site designation for the Strade Nuove and the Palazzi dei Rolli in the city’s historic centre. As with our previous Workshop Abroad destinations many parallels with Liverpool were found.

The spatial manifestations of these similar social and economic issues were the focus of our studies and we spent most of our time in and around Genoa’s old town and historic port researching potential design project sites. We were greatly aided by the University of Genoa’s Faculty of Architecture which hosted our party in their impressive school, housed in a former abbey, for a comprehensive briefing of contemporary issues in the city.

After our studies in Genoa we travelled to Venice stopping in Verona to visit Carlo Scarpa’s seminal Museo Castelvecchio. We spent a very wet but stimulating day in Venice at the Alejandro Aravena curated Architecture Biennale ‘Reporting from the Front’.

CONFERENCE

In September we hosted a two day conference “Government and Housing in a Time of Crisis: Policy, Planning, Design and Delivery.” Organised with the interdisciplinary research organisation AMPS (Architecture, Media, Politics, Society) and Liverpool City Council, this was the second conference we have hosted as part of the Housing – Critical Futures series. As in 2015, it was again a valuable primer and source of context for housing design projects we undertook later in the year in our Master of Architecture studio.

The conference brought together academics and practioners from the UK and further afield to discuss a wide range of topics around the provision of social and affordable housing. The centrepiece of the conference was a cross disciplinary debate with representation from some of the key agencies acting in our region. As public and political concern for affordable housing increases our Programme is well informed and well placed to contribute to the regional debate.

This year’s Architecture Programme symposium had a distinguished panel of academics and curators discuss the complexities and value of the Display, Exhibition and Propagation of Architecture.

The dual objectives of the symposium were to extend our own students theoretical discourse, whilst also contributing to the cultural dialogue within Liverpool, and this event took place in the context of proposals being made for a new Architecture Biennial in Liverpool. During the year discussions and presentations regarding a Design Biennial also took place, sharing similar aspirations and also seeking to utilise the City of Liverpool’s strong cultural heritage and attractiveness to visitors. The LJMU Architecture Programme is supporting these initiatives, which are part of the steady growth in the cultural life the city.

SYMPOSIUM SYNOPSIS DEP : The Display, Exhibition and Propagation of Architecture.

These three terms work outwards in space and time from the design object itself towards public discourse.

By ‘design object’ is meant here a built or unbuilt work, presented in itself and/or in representations.

This definition is important, because, unlike art exhibitions which generally display actual works, few architecture exhibitions display actual buildings. Mostly, they display representations of absent objects; absent because they are elsewhere, or unbuilt, or destroyed.

Therefore, major concerns in the symposium discussions were the value and effectiveness of various kinds of representation, and the techniques of reprography, display and propagation. It was nevertheless noted that there is a class of buildings and places which have become displays in themselves, by being exhibited as ‘visitable’ monuments & parks, heritage sites, tourist attractions, and in spectacles such as son-etlumiere.

DISPLAY Every architecture student who mounts a ‘pin-up’ for a ‘crit’ encounters the problem of display. What to emphasise, what to subordinate, how to illustrate in space an explanation or narration in time. Moreover, the demands of presentation start already within drawings and models themselves. An idea is set out in a drawing, the drawing takes its part in a series, and the series is set out on a wall or table. Each decision is critical.

EXHIBITION Exhibitions are aggregations of displays, arranged to illustrate and convey ideas, arguments and stories.

Their purposes, methods and audiences were important topics considered in the symposium. The term ‘exhibition’ may denote anything from a small show on a specific topic to a vast exposition such as those staged by the Venice Biennale and Milan Triennale. Methods used may range from conventional arrays of documents to installations that may be highly coded and rhetorical, critical and polemic, spectacular or cryptic. The popularity of installations is one of the most striking features of architectural exhibitions in recent decades. Another significant development has been the expanding range and virtuosity of reprographic and display technology available to curators. Taken together, these tendencies towards allegoric installation and spectacular virtuosity in display have led to what we may call a ‘baroque era’ in exhibition culture. While this is all good business for the culture industry, we should keep a critical check on its implications, especially where they may converge with commercial interests in property development and advertising, or with political goals in mass persuasion.

PROPAGATION Exhibitions no longer vanish on closing; they persist in electronic afterlife as data is spread abroad, a-web and a-cloud. The 2016 Venice Biennale is open to visit in several thousand images on their website.

Aloft, abroad, aweb and acloud, big data in high definition extends a new dimension to Andre Malraux’s 70-year old idea of the Musée Imaginaire, - often called, the ‘museum without walls’. There never was an exhibition without ambient and supplementary mediation, in publications, conferences and reviews; and any consideration on the role of architectural exhibitions calls for awareness of how they fit into the range of ways in which architecture enters public consciousness and discourse.

Our January exhibition presented the urban design proposals of our MArch Programme studio to a wider audience.

This year our presentation of propositions for Runcorn coincided with Halton Borough Council’s own regeneration planning for the town. The diversion of through traffic away from the Silver Jubilee Bridge via the Mersey Gateway creates opportunities to positively transform the public realm around Runcorn mainline station, and this important nodal point was the focus of the exhibited Runcorn projects. We were pleased to welcome regeneration officers from Halton, who had helped us in preparing the project briefs, and were concurrently commissioning designers to look at these same issues.

The projects set in Genoa were a demonstration of the similarity of issues between the city and Liverpool. Propositions for the historic districts, redundant infrastructure and waterfront of Genoa presented ideas that echo with possibilities for Liverpool. Stemming from the ‘Second Tier Cities in Europe: Why invest beyond capitals’ research published by LJMU’s European Institute for Urban Affairs, our study of Genoa is part of an ongoing programme of studio based research which is bringing together exemplars and lessons from cities around Europe sharing similar concerns to Liverpool. Porto, Marseille, Rotterdam and Hamburg have all been studied and Gdansk is our next destination.

The public opening of the exhibition was augmented by a lecture from John Grindrod, organised with the Modernist Society, which during the last year has established a Liverpool city group, led by staff from the LJMU Architecture Programme.

The new ART LABS Research Centre in the Liverpool School of Art and Design was formally instituted by the University in 2016, in recognition of the high quality of research taking place across the art and design field. It offers contemporary and innovative approaches to professional research, practice-based research and advanced study.

A robust collaborative structure aims to support the work of individual researchers, research partnerships and research students. ART LABS are developing the planning and evolution of research projects, dissemination of good practice, organisation of research conferences and seminars and mentoring, through a network of five specialist Labs connected and supported by the ART LABS Centre: Contemporary Art Lab, Design Lab, Exhibition Research Lab, Face Lab, and Uses of Art Lab. Research in the Architecture programme is an integrated part of the Design Lab. Projects explore how original knowledge through research, practice and critical theory lead to changes in design thinking and design practice within our contemporary culture. Around half of Architecture staff are research active, and producing outputs toward REF2020. Their work encompasses a rich and diverse scope of subjects, which include: urbanity and human immersion; (re)production and use of wastelands and derelict urban spaces; international transport infrastructure; housing for dementia; sustainability and design process; alternative approaches for housing design; methods and tools for low energy building design with user oriented building simulation software; materiality and culture; regional Modernism and Liverpool’s Twentieth Century architectural history; pedagogy and the student experience in creative programmes; analysis of cognition in the creative process; the design of libraries in a changing society and culture.

There is a deliberate strategy to interweave research and teaching within the programme, at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This manifests both through how research informs teaching to inspire and nourish our students’ learning, but also how studio teaching and emergent project work can contribute to published research in a range of contemporary fields and problems in wider contexts; an approach that has been termed ‘teaching-informed research’. For example, the MArch programme has established a long-term engagement with the architecture of housing, and several staff are research active in this field. The programme has collaborated with the organisation AMPS (Architecture, Media, Politics and Society) to host an international conference on housing, at which both staff and postgraduate student research was presented, and which led to subsequent published outputs.

Urban design project work in the MArch programme is engaged in a five-year strategy to study Second Tier port cities across Europe, such as Marseille and Genoa, which share similar concerns to Liverpool. Out of these projects, a coherent body of ‘research through design’ is being developed on the particularities of urban regeneration in such places. This work has been disseminated through public exhibitions, and the long-term aim is for a collective publication at the end of the five year study.

Pedagogic research by staff feeds directly into enriching teaching and learning within the programme.

Three such projects secured funding from the University: two Curriculum Enhancement Projects and one Faculty Retention Project. These focused on different aspects of the students’ learning experience: improving the recording and dissemination of formative feedback; enhancing the integration of design and technology learning through computer modelling; and understanding students’ experience of induction and transition in their programme.

RESEARCH STEPHEN BOWE

BRIAN HATTON

JOANNE HUDSON

Dr. Stephen Bowe is interested in Material Culture and has undertaken long-term research in this field. His research outputs have included multiple publications based on extensive research on Mulberry Trees, which has also appeared in Woodland Heritage and features the Shimakuwa mulberry from the Izu Islands. The research contained within the book was disseminated further in the form of limited edition hand-bound publications (printed on Mulberry paper) during an exhibition at the Liverpool School of Art and Design.

His current research projects feature an investigation into handwriting and its decline in society in conjunction with the luxury men’s retailer Dunhill and their famous hard goods manufacture with particular reference to writing instruments. The overall study of the marketing and promotion of Dunhill throughout the world will include publications in the form of a limited edition book, film and exhibition.

Brian Hatton has written and published 320 articles Art and Architecture. In 2008 he guest-edited the special issue of Architectural Review - Liverpool: Work in Progress, and was keynote speaker at the AJ/AR conference Designing For Liverpool.

He is currently working on a project to start a Liverpool Architecture Biennial. At LJMU he organised and spoke in the 2013 Architecture symposium ‘Starchitecture’ and the 2014 symposium ‘Film, Space and Architecture’. His current research interests include a project to publish a videodisk of Dan Graham’s Pavilions, and a book on his Graham Foundation/CCA research topic, ‘Wandering in the Open Plan’.

Dr. Joanne Hudson’s research is located at the intersection of Architecture, Planning and Geography and focuses principally on the relationship between spatial planning practices and the production, (re)production and use of wastelands and derelict spaces, and affordable housing strategies. Her current research is focused on how we can realise and utilise the potential of ‘informal spaces’ at various levels and spatial scales through the development of coordinated systems of land use planning, creative design and community capital. Her housing research investigates relationships between community groups, and designers and the role that new design strategies have in providing viable affordable housing for the future. It will contribute to critical (re) understandings and (re)readings of the city and will reassess the way we value our urban environment.

GARY BROWN Gary Brown’s research interests are centred on inter-relationships with the urban environment, how we perceive it and reciprocally design and intervene in it. These research interests are usually directly linked to and folded back into design studio practice. Gary’s recent interests (and outputs) have been related to ‘balanced asymmetry’ emerging from an interest in Japanese aesthetics and ‘edge phenomena’ influenced by Snohetta’s Opera House and relating to Liverpool’s geographic political and urban disposition.

RESEARCH

ROBERT MACDONALD

ALIKI-MYRTO PERYSINAKI

CHARLIE SMITH

Dr. Robert G MacDonald’s research focuses on therapeutic environments, architecture for good mental health and well-being, and design for dementia. He has published research in The Design for Mental Health Journal (2014) about a new prescription for psychiatry, and the DIY Integrated City, an ongoing project of the Liverpool Architectural Society. He is a Design Champion and Service User for MerseyCare NHS Trust, designing a new Health Hub in a converted Carnegie Library.

He is also a member of the Performance and Investment Committee (PIC), and he is currently designing and building The First Dementia Bungalow in the UK at the BRE Innovation Exposition, Watford. Rob’s research is founded on his belief, based on personal experiences of mental health, that creative collaboration, cooperation, conversation and user participation ought to be at the centre of making good health care architecture. Rob was appointed trustee of ‘Peckham Pioneering Health Centre’ London, designed by Owen Williamson in 1923. Income generated in period 20162017: £10,000 from MerseyCare towards ‘Design for Dementia’ book. £8000 - RIBA Award Winning Research Prize (2017) ‘International Investigation of Dementia Friendly Environments’; £1000 - funding PhD (2017) to support students visit to Holland from Director of Medicine, MerseyCare NHS Foundation Trust; £2000 - Faculty Research Funding for (2017) Interactive Model; £1000 - Faculty Research Funding for (2016) ‘Architecture, Art & Autism Symposium’.

Doctoral Supervision: Davide Landi, International Studies of Dementia Friendly Environments. Elizabeth Edge, International Studies of Architectural Bienniels. Daniel McGurk, International Student, Distance Tutorials, on Sustainable Housing, postgraduate based in Taiwan.

Dr. Aliki-Myrto Perysinaki’s research focuses primarily on the influence of sustainable development on the architectural design process. She develops a critical understanding of architecture - as process and profession - through what she defines as ‘Complexity’. In addition to publications and presentations at international conferences in this field, her current work examines the transformation of urbanscapes due to climatic change and the potential of alternative housing typologies to provide affordable design. Aiming to address the housing crisis and drawing upon materials generated for student presentations and exhibitions, her research is intended to impel a critique of current housing standards, policy and residential form. By dealing with different scales, Aliki’s research aspires to observe the evolving character of the architectural profession in leading intradisciplinary conception and negotiation through a project’s process.

Dr. Charlie Smith’s research focuses on learning and teaching pedagogies and the student experience in creative programmes.

He is pioneering an approach to research that is informed by studio teaching, in which student projects become a central part of the methodology. This explores deeper meaning signified by the work in the wider contexts of design, theory and policy, and is particularly suited to contentious building types. Through this approach Charlie publishes research on library architecture, focusing on how digitisation and new programmatic challenges are affecting these civic and cultural landmarks; with many libraries facing closure this is a highly relevant field of inquiry, with impact across society. Other research publications include housing design, with particular reference to environmental sustainability, space standards, affordability and design quality.

SIMON TUCKER

DOMINIC WILKINSON

IAN WROOT

Dr. Simon Tucker’s research interests focus around modelling the environmental and sustainable performance of buildings and the formulation of user-oriented design methods. His current research explores aspects of Human-Computer Interaction and User Experience in relation to Building Performance Simulation. Related work includes the application of design patterns and pattern language to the design of low energy buildings. Other recently published research has been on low environmental impact housing design; post disaster housing, climate change and building design, and the hygrothermal properties of ecological building materials. Simon has carried out research on projects funded by the TSB and the EPSRC, and is a regular reviewer for peer reviewed journals and conferences in his field.

The main strands of Dominic Wilkinson’s ongoing research are Architectural History and Urban Morphology. Recent presentations at international events include: the International Seminar on Urban Form 2014 conference in Porto), and Changing Cities II 2015 conference in Athens.

Dominic’s current research projects centring on Architectural History include: a book and exhibition for the Twentieth Century Society and Heritage England on the Church architect F. X. Velarde, assisted by a grant from the Paul Mellon Foundation; a book on the Modernist houses of Merseyside; a book chapter on the early built project of DewiPrys Thomas; an exhibition and catalogue for Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral’s jubilee celebrations. His additional research activities aim to develop an urban design project based in European second tier port cities drawing upon materials generated for student exhibitions and publications to produce a travelling exhibition and associated publication.

This year Ian’s research has focused on the exploration of offsite manufacture technologies. He is working with Knowsley Development Trust to utilise such technologies in their Phase 8 Development programme specifically to design and develop a construction systems that can be manufactured and constructed by young people who possess low skill levels and who could also have forms of learning disability or difficulties. This year he has also secured funding to research Modular Adaptations to Housing for residents with physical or cognitive impairment, through the Low Carbon Eco-Innovatory, which is a new partnership between Liverpool John Moores University, University of Liverpool and Lancaster University and part-funded through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).

The BA(Hons) programme is thoughtfully balanced to address the creative and technical demands of the profession. Taught principally through a studio environment that is seamlessly underpinned and informed by lectures and workshops addressing architectural design theory, practice issues, and structural and environmental building technologies.

The over-arching ambition of the programme is to create graduates with artistic flair, who are technically skilled and grounded in the demands of the professional role of the architect.

The learning and teaching environment is progressively informed by pedagogic research in the creative field.

While teaching the curriculum, the programme also develops less tangible skills in students, such as communication, presentation and self-motivation. A key ambition is to create independent thinkers, adept at resolving problems with creativity and originality.

A broad educational experience is offered within which students develop diverse, rigorous and creative approaches to design issues that explore and test appropriate resolutions in relation to contemporary and anticipated contexts.

Design projects form the backbone of teaching. They are primers to a creative and critical thought process.

As students progress through the Degree, the design projects gradually become larger in scale, more complex and ambitious in their intentions. At Degree level the city of Liverpool is predominantly used as a contextual laboratory to test concepts that have a local flavour with global implications.

BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE

The First Year Programme endeavours to introduce to the student the fundamental skills necessary to engage in their architectural education whilst simultaneously investigating the year’s thematic concerns: Light, Space and Form.

First Year

This ambition was explored in the first semester through The Anatomy of Buildings, a project that examined seminal architectural paradigms, and Archifilm, an enquiry through model-making that provoked students to interpret, make and record primordial architectural conditions as spatial settings.

The second semester focused on the investigation of a craft and its translation from programme to poetic interpretation in A Place for Crafting.

In order to nurture haptic representational and exploratory capabilities, students were encouraged to learn, practise and conduct hand-drawing and physical model-making as a necessary means to Introdution Text immerse themselves in the design process.

A number of dedicated Studio Workshops ran in parallel Conestio omnit quia qui dolorer spisquis to studio tutorials to instil this ambition. eumquat dolorias que santemp orerferi cus, ut the year as a complementary Parallel with this, digital filmic media was actively encouraged through ut quassec tatur, omnis simaios quibus et am, si investigative tool for testingalic spatial settings. te volluptius peliciaessit vel molorem quaspie ntibusdam repudi seque odita acero officid qui offic tessit latem quos nam, saesto est et ut quo veliae repratis dolorro dipidenisque nos exeria sandanis pra doluptat volupis adi iducim qui doluptium hic te velibus.

By way of introduction, a one day project on Crosby Beach provided the students with a hands-on task to build sand cities based around Ephemeral Cities.

In The Anatomy of Buildings, students conducted their studies in small groups and concluded with work that demonstrates their research, analysis and understanding of their building. There was an expectation that compositional and theoretical stances derived from their studies would be presented as part of their team enquiry.

The first semester concluded with Archifilm; students were asked to firstly investigate three fundamental architectural conditions: obelisk, enclosure and aedicule by using columns / beams, planes and stair elements.

This initial stage served to further their enquiry through thematic interpretations for a Playhouse or Temple / Shrine. These open typologies motivated students to explore space as an inhabited (space making) domain with the aid of photography and filmmaking techniques.

SEMESTER TWO A PLACE FOR CRAFTING

The single project of the second semester builds from experiences and vskills acquired from the first semester, with design objectives being recapitulated more comprehensively and ambitiously.

In this respect, A Placev for Crafting, introduced to the students the processes of integrated design: the research of a subject (craft), the exploration of context (the street) and the integration of design and technology. The project provided an opportunity for students to focus on their chosen subject and they were actively encouraged to avrrive at their own interpretation; this served as a catalytic directive for their design.

Students were asked to consider the act of building as an activity integral to design. Therefore, technology, construction, materiality and lighting studies were conducted with the aim to enrich space making as a conscious experiential enquiry.

The year is a vital stage in the transition from fundamental understandings of the subject towards a personal critical position, achieved with the completion of the Degree.

To enable this there is more freedom in Second Year to explore radical conceptions and challenging contexts. There are opportunities for students to be experimental and explorative in architectural design thinking, production and representation.

The complexities of the city become the setting for the investigation and application of ideas. The acts of researching, understanding and applying, as techniques within a design process are demonstrated and practiced.

SECOND YEAR

04

The city becomes a setting for the investigation of ideas in urban design during the first semester of Second Year.

Students are introduced to principles of design at this scale through lectures, studio workshops, a detailed study of an urban space, and the Workshop Abroad to a European city. A strategically significant site in close proximity to Liverpool city centre was provided, although the specific boundaries of students’ explorations were fluid and could be delineated as project work developed.

Initially the students worked in small groups, which reinforces the importance of collaborative working.

Initially they researched and analysed the area of investigation, and then designed a masterplan strategy for the regeneration of the site. Emphasis was placed on thoughtful consideration and articulation of massing in three dimensions so as to define urban squares, spaces and their landscapes, and on imagining the activities and programmes that would animate them.

Each masterplan evolved from a conceptual idea derived from the group’s interrogation of fabric and space within the city, aligned with consideration of sustainability and an understanding of permeability and relationships between public and private realms. The groups sought to present a coherent vision for a revitalised fabric of streets, squares and spaces, and the massing that defines them, based on clear thematic principles.

These masterplans provided the framework and context for the second stage of the design work, in which each student chose an urban space or structure within the masterplan to develop at a larger scale. These designs considered ways in which such an element within an urban composition can become a place of activity and intervention. Students were encouraged to explore how their designs would be experienced by those who move through them, via eye-level studies, and propose how people would meaningfully occupy those places over time.

The second semester of Second Year is a period during which students are actively encouraged to make experimental architectural investigations. They are given significant creative freedom to explore their own understanding of what constitutes ‘architectural design’, and students have numerous opportunities to be conceptual and abstract in their design thinking, process, production and representation.

The studio tutors each offered a different project brief, and students could choose their preferred options. However, these briefs are seen very much as launching pads, which students creatively interpret when defining their project’s trajectory, potentially transgressing the boundaries of architecture and venturing into other disciplines and fields. Research conducted during the early stages of the project is drawn together as an essay, to crystallise students’ initial explorations and signal the transition to design studies.

Each studio project group devised and established their challenges and objectives for research, interpretation, developmental studies and potential design responses. Some projects creatively interrogate a given building type, others explore design much more through process rather than programme. In some instances a site was given, in others the site was determined as part of the creative exploration of the project, or alternatively, the project was explored in an abstract context.

Studio Workshops during this semester were themed to complement the students’ experimental development of their project work. They included: design research methods; model making with Atelier La Juntana; drawing as design process / explorative drawing techniques; presentation possibilities and presentation as exhibition.

There were six units in total: Design for Migration; Investigations of Flow; Manchester District Music Archive (MDMA); Proportion, Space, Abstraction; Repetition and Difference; and The Library of the Future

SEMESTER TWO

EXPERIMENTATIONS

REPETITION & DIFFERENCE

This project anticipated an exploration of the nth potential of spatial permutations meaning that all things were possible. It proposed an emphasis on processes as the producers of serial things, and upon an exploration of folding that develops edges and thresholds perceptually and conceptually through real and virtual models. There was a series of abstract explorations to initiate the project which constituted creative processes as formal play. Methodologies of testing the potential usefulness of particular selected spatial formats were researched and developed. The selected spatial formulations were developed into tectonic forms through these methodologies.

FLOW INVESTIGATIONS

06

In the flow of contemporary spatial design – the environment is a force field of transformations. This project explores a few approaches to recognizing this and describing flows of change as partnerships between human processes of movement, dwelling and built space. This will include an application of Integral Method, a consideration of varying modes of space generation and first hand anthropological techniques including moving image capture.

MANCHESTER DANCE MUSIC ARCHIVE

Archives are collections of information or ‘records’. These records come in many forms such as manuscripts, letters, reports, photographs, films, digital files, sound recordings, art works and other artefacts. Archival materials are often unique, specialised and rare. Essentially, archives collect, preserve, and narrate memories.

The artefacts and associated stories that archives contain are important to the social, cultural and economic histories of people and places. This proposed architectural intervention will allow the archive a physical presence in the city, so becoming a further element in Manchester’s ever changing cultural landscape.

DESIGN FOR MIGRATION

08

Migration is a phenomenon occurring in both the natural world and in human societies. Migration and Design considered selected aspects of migration including permanence and transience, place and dwelling, and migration as journey. Students explored examples, processes and patterns of migration in order to discover connections and symbiotic relationships between design and the natural world and to inform ‘design for future migrations’.

The project investigates the nature of space – the inner enclosure of architecture, its effect on perception through spatial sequencing and surface.

The vehicle for experimentation is to investigate an ideal of three dimensional proportion -employing recognised standards of two dimensional proportion, the implications of employing a third dimension are explored and the resultant possibilities are used in building design.

THE LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE

Are libraries needed when a world of information can be held in the palm of one hand? Libraries have a rich history spanning thousands of years, but in the recent past debate has raged over their future – particularly due to the growth of digital information. In the last two decades the concept of “what is a library?” has changed more than in the previous two millennia.

As a civic building libraries form an important part of the public realm of towns and cities, providing spaces for a collection of activities as diverse as meeting, playing, relaxing, conversing, debating, socialising, seducing and sheltering, as well as reading

Architecture is conceived of as emerging from and responding to a holistic context of contemporary cultural and environmental programmatic issues. The aim of the year is the synthesis of these diverse programmatic elements into a holistic experiential matrix. The year is split by two projects in both of which this integrated aim is emphasised. The initial project is a small but complex proposition undertaken over a ten week period as preparation for the major Comprehensive Design Project which takes up the remainder of the academic year.

THIRD YEAR

Our world is in flux. Natural disasters continue to affect people’s lives on a massive scale, the climate is unpredictable, the world-wide population is increasing and global conflict persists causing mass migration.

Consequently, the world urgently needs to rethink how we design, plan and build our cities and their constituent parts. Where there have been natural catastrophes or humanitarian crises requirements to provide accommodating shelters are urgent.

These important themes were taken up in the ‘2017 International FINSA Award’, a student architectural competition, which relating to FINSA’s particle board and MDF business, promoted exploration of modular timber construction in the design of a small school for children affected by crisis. This brief, combining social and technological issues, was well suited to the objectives of the semester and was taken up by the whole Third Year. A selection of the completed projects were reviewed by FINSA and a prize awarded.

Education plays a critical role in helping to reduce the trauma that children experience whilst living in times of humanitarian crises. School can offer them the possibility of a return to normality and provides them with a safe place where they can share their experiences and anxieties. The brief was for a school that could be readily constructed and transported, to meet the needs of children affected by humanitarian crises or natural catastrophes, offering a safe learning environment for children effected by crisis.

‘Adaptation as a Solution’ was a focus. Design proposals were encouraged that connected functionality and sustainability.

At the core of this brief was the question; “How [can] architects best address the needs of the displaced and the disenfranchised” (Stohr).

COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN PROJECTS

The final project is termed the Comprehensive Design Project (CDP). This aptly describes its objectives ‘to pursue a design project proposal that is comprehensively researched, developed and resolved in a holistic manner through the presentation drawings and models.’ This is an option project and briefing primers are presented by design tutors as directional aids. Students select one of these to pursue whilst developing their own ‘unique design character’. Design drives the project and supporting studies such as history and theory, technology and practice and materiality and detailing integrate and synthesise with, and have outcomes from, the design process. Studio work with one to one tutorials and regular reviews underpin the project.

The six primers and examples of project work are presented in the following pages.

HOME-MAKING Definitions of home extend beyond simple spatial definitions of “home as ‘house” or a “collection of houses and [their] associated social amenities” Home is an important political, social and spatial site and whilst it is commonly seen as a “source of emotional wellbeing, comfort and happiness”, it can also represent a site of violence and repression. However, home is not static and can be made and remade, over time and space, and is subject to a variety of complex factors: social, cultural, political, financial, conjugal and so on.

In the current global socio-political landscape, we have witnessed a rise in what has been referred to as ‘domicide:’ the intentional destruction of home. The impacts of this are widespread and span a variety of contexts and spatial scales, from mass displacement as a consequence of civil war and natural disasters to a rise in homelessness as a result of economic crashes, growing austerity and punitive housing policy. As the nature of ‘home’ becomes increasingly challenged we are now witnessing a rise in more informal, precarious ways of home-making including ‘sofa surfing’ and ‘tent cities’.

This brief looked to develop a critical understanding of ‘home,’ (socially and culturally) and the fluidity of homespace both temporally (hours, days, months, years and decades) and spatially. Students were asked to decide what ‘home’ is in order to design a series of responses to the growing issue of homelessness. tutor - Jo Hudson

IN PRAISE OF SLOWNESS “There is more to life than increasing its speed”, said Mahatma Gandhi, but we are living in a world obsessed with speed, with doing everything faster, from food, transportation, work to relationships.

Immersed in the culture of speed, we end up “hurrying through our lives, instead of actually living them”.

Milan Kundera writes that nobody can be certain about anything when things happen too fast. According to Guy Claxton, a British psychologist, “[w]e have developed an inner psychology of speed, of saving time and maximizing efficiency, which is getting stronger by the day”. Thus, a life of intense rhythms can become superficial.

Different speeds have different effects on the “perception of space, time and personal potency”.

Speeding up (towards an intended destination) obstructs a contemplative appreciation of our surrounding environments.

The intention of this brief was to ‘restore the native degree of mobility’, for people to be dependent upon their feet to move. The project is thought of as an alternative of urban density, an exodus towards nature.

The first phase of the brief was to map visible and invisible characteristics of a selected site in order to establish an analysis of its ‘idiosyncrasy’: topography, views, light variations, spatial textures, and feelings/ emotions. Students set out to ‘craft atmospheres’ for a slow-paced experience of a natural environment where landscape and architecture are merged to create an experience leading one to raise questions rather than to answer them. Projects demonstrated how an atmosphere, an emotion, or an ambiance can be designed, aiming to lead the visitor to a moment of introspection in an isolated place, away from everyday life. tutor - Aliki-Myrto Perysinaki

NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM ‘Those who contemplate the beauty of the Earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.’

Rachel Carson The natural world has been a source of inspiration and wonder for millennia; yet it is only in recent decades that we have become deeply aware of its fragility.

Nature can be both immensely powerful and robust, but at the same time susceptible to ruinous human influences. The Natural History Museum’s stated purpose is to challenge the way people think about the natural world - its past, present and future - through three key themes: origins and evolution, diversity of life, and sustainable futures.

These projects are - in an abstract sense - an encapsulation of nature set in the artificial environment of the city. They seek to contribute to debate about the future of the natural world in the context of numerous - largely anthropocentrically driven - environmental challenges such as: species decline, habitat destruction, ocean acidification, climate change, and human population growth.

Nature, in its vast multitude of diverse forms, was seen as a source of inspiration for thematic and conceptual explorations. From those, the students developed their own nuanced interpretations of the project brief, evaluating the balance between exhibition and galleries, and spaces dedicated to associated activities such as archives, active research and study. They were encouraged to creatively explore and define their own notion of what ‘a museum’ as a typology could be.

Students reasoned their own project site as part of the design process, at any place along the north-western corridor of the Northern Powerhouse. tutor - Charlie Smith

PATTERN - METALS - ARCHITECTURE This project was focused on gaining an understanding of formal compositional forces found in the constitution of matter, particularly metals, interrogating scale at a microscopic level.

The exploration of these tectonic landscapes with their relations between solid and void, geometrical organizations and articulations, issues of surface, and pattern, offer potential interpretations into architectural compositional design.

The students investigated metals, smart metals, composites and alloys, and their possibilities in architectural manufacturing, effected by the creative potential of pattern in forming, casting, reprocessing and recycling.

Prescient concerns regarding the accelerated depletion of resources stressing our planet, were researched in order to influence the definition of the student’s particular design briefs, and this investigation was an intrinsic part of the project.

The formulation of the student’s theoretical position on these issues drove the design process.

RETHINKING THE FACTORY The project asked what was the Future of the Factory?

We are at the dawn of the second machine age.

To understand why it’s unfolding now, we need to understand the nature of technological progress in the era of digital hardware, soft-wear and networks. There is a need for the new architecture of factories and urban master planning.

The challenge was to design a new inventive Research Factory and a Fab Lab. The brief set an invitation to research and invent new futurist programmes, based on the idea that in the future transformable, cleaner factories will return to the city. These sophisticated factories will move, and talk internally and externally.

Perhaps they will be a reminder of Archigram’s Walking City. Will the factory of the future provide an umbrella for growth, change, adaptation, expansion and contraction? The project responded to new robotics, laser, pod cars, robobees and agriculture. Architecture, structure and robotics morph and engage with each other. Architecture is automatic and smart. Cities will be smarter, X-changing into more intelligent systems.

Mechanisation takes Command.

Edge Hill Station in Liverpool was the location.

Currently, the station and the surrounding district is fragmentary and in need of spatial planning. The site was the departure point for the global railway and industrial revolution: the railway system started here. The high speed Chinese freight train will arrive here. Nearby gas ohmmeters are spectacular on the urban landscape. Metal, an ‘artistic laboratory’, have appropriated the original station. Factory Records was the name of the Manchester label and Warhol named his New York City art studio The Factory in NYC. This project was about Re-Thinking the Factory.

INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE COLLECTIVE The project brief was for a collective for writers, as another artistic strand strengthening the arts biennial in Liverpool.

The design of the collective emphasises contradictory aims as opportunities for innovative design solutions.

The collective is to be an artifice within nature within urbanity where the artifice and its distribution in nature makes a phenomenal connection with our nature as part of nature. The collective is to provide privacy and quiet for individuals to write whilst also providing potential for social interaction in the community of the collective and the wider public. It is an intimately private place for research and study whilst being capable of metamorphosing into a public performance space. The collective as community is dynamic, growing and shrinking cyclically as the biennial does and consequently the spatial requirements also need to be capable of flexibility and change.

The biennial is commissioning this collective as a strategy for broadening the appeal of the biennial event as well as generating a live in literary artists collective. Six to eight literature artists from around the world will be invited to spend one year in the city of Liverpool as part of the collective, to promote written prose, plays and poetry as art.

Each literature artist is expected to utilise their time at the retreat to produce literature which will be presented in person at the biennial as a series of events over the period of the biennial. This means that when the biennial occurs (in a two year cycle) a group of between six and eight of the literature artists will be living in the collective and a similar group will have to travel back to Liverpool in order to perform for the event. The visiting group of artists will be accommodated in hotels however they will use the collective with the other resident artists during the days and evenings of the biennial to socialise, practice and perform. The literature artists may be in a relationship and may have children and you need to design flexibly for this possibility. Six or eight artists may mean as many as 20-30 people? The accommodation should be flexible and have a distinctive approach to privacy and socialising.

Visitors are likewise actively encouraged and there should be some form of short stay flexible accommodation provision. tutor - Gary Brown

The MArch programme focuses on sustained scholarly activity underpinned by the research interests of staff engaged in the strategic theme of Urbanism and concerned with identifying the value of design thinking and practice in new urban contexts. It addresses questions around dwelling, health and well-being and public space, in a range of contexts, driven by an ambition to produce visionary strategies for sustainable urban futures. To this end the first year of the programme introduces the students to contemporary urban design theories and practice. Locating project work within Merseyside and abroad, students are encouraged to engage with cultural organisations, regional stakeholders and statutory authorities with the aim of producing creative, socio-economically engaged architectural proposals. Students then follow strands of enquiry around the theme of dwelling in the city. Alongside this each student undertakes a yearlong Specialist Study as the basis for individual research proposals that aim to nourish their endeavours in the final year. The final year of the MArch offers opportunities for more in depth explorations emanating from group urban studies. Programmatic ambitions for comprehensive building design projects evolve from a thorough analytical and intuitive response to place.

Our students address realistic scenarios and engage with a range of collaborators in their project work. At times they work with students in related disciplines from the School of the Built Environment and a wide range of external advisors and guest critics from professional practice. We host symposia and conferences to inspire and nourish their studies. At Masters level project work is often located outside of the UK, addressing global issues with reference to international best practice.

ALTERNATIVE HOUSING TYPOLOGIES: THE CASE OF TERRACES

JAM TODAY: MAKING DIVERSE URBAN VILLAGES

OPTIMISING DENSITY: CITY CENTRE FAMILY LIVING

HOUSING The Master of Architecture programme has a long-term engagement with the architecture of housing, through both research and project work. It has long since been identified that there is a crippling housing crisis in the UK. However, despite widespread recognition of the problem, solutions to this complex web of issues – which include affordability, shortage, supply, design and sustainability – remain scarce.

These issues in contemporary housing form the basis for the principal building design project of the second semester for the MArch. The alignment of student research and projects to contentious, real-world challenges is deliberate, as these students will shortly be practicing within that context.

The Draft

Liverpool Local Plan September 2016

liverpool.gov.uk

The political context of this critical aspect of the built environment forms the backdrop for consideration of how to address the pressures and demands of providing for the residential needs of future generations. The cohort was divided into three groups, which then explored these issues across a diverse range of scales, densities, contexts, typologies and narratives. Common themes wove through the projects however, such as sustainability and the fundamental issues faced in addressing the challenges posed by Britain’s chronic housing shortage. The six week design project is supplemented with environmental, structural and interior design studies culminating in the production of a detailed physical model.

ALTERNATIVE HOUSING TYPOLOGIES: THE CASE OF TERRACES In 2014, the then Secretary of State Eric Pickles refused planning permission to demolish 439 houses in Liverpool’s Welsh Streets, after the pressure generated by local associations (Welsh Streets Home Group), campaigns (Merseyside Civic Society and SAVE Britain’s Heritage) and housing charity (Empty Homes). The initial proposal of Housing Association Plus Dane - replacing the terraces with smaller bungalows and semi-detached housing at lower density- has been taken over by Place First, developers selected by Liverpool City Council. The new proposals are characterised by a mixture of ownership, renting and social lettings, with two into one conversions producing three and four bedroomed houses together with single and double bedroomed houses. Based on this shift to refurbishment rather than the clearance of houses, the first phase of this brief asked students to adjust the existing houses between Wynnstay and Rhiwlas streets (two rows of terraces), exploring arrangements from single to four bedroom houses.

The second phase included designs for the empty parts with new housing typologies, investigating alternative approaches including incremental housing and co-living/shared accommodation, whilst exploring the potential adaptation or abolishment of the back alleys.

The proposal will use 5No terrace houses as one complex.The idea is to utilise the existing external and internal walls, demolish the outriggers and to construct a mansard roof which will be inhabited by 1 apartment with roof terrace. The pink section represents the circulation core and will also accomodate storage for bins and bikes. A small extension to the rear will create a perspective for the ground floor apartment to overlook a small garden while creating a roof terrace for the first floor apartment. A 4 bed terrace is created using 2No terraces knocked through into one.

Environmental Strategy Overall Strategy The overall strategy for the development was influenced by the way the dwelling themselves had been saved from demolition in the first instance. The idea is to provide simple solutions to energy, parking and amenity that do not incur a large construction cost. The removal of outriggers increased the size of gardens and provides a communal landscaped alley in place of the seldom used ones that currently exist throughout Liverpool. Apartments that don’t have a private garden have instead a roof terrace.

Joel Roderick CONTEXTUAL MEMORY

Hartley Village’s dilapidation is apparent for all to see. The contextual memory of the place is being told through the individual stories of the remaining residents. The place has been left behind to industrial mechanic workshops, small taxi ranks and builder’s yards. The fragments of industrial fabric are a catalyst for memory but sit abandoned. The plan is to develop a multi-faceted modern contemporary housing and retail scheme that speaks to and respects Hartley’s past with a modern interpretation of contextual industrial architectural language. The design will contain a series of courtyards that carefully control the privacy boundaries of residents, promoting communal activity whilst also giving an opportunity for a private life.

JAM TODAY: MAKING DIVERSE URBAN VILLAGES

In 2012, Liverpool’s newest conservation area was designated, the remains of the Hartley jam factory, founded in 1871, and its associated workers village, the ‘Hartley Garden Village’. The village, which started with 40 houses and later expanded, was self-contained, with gardens, tennis courts and bowling greens in the square behind the houses.

After jam production moved to London, the factory and land (including the garden square) were sold off, with the houses either sold to existing residents or to private purchasers. A long period of decline ensued with derelict and under-used buildings, incompatible uses and vacant plots.

The task of this brief was to imagine alternative futures for this fragmented remnant, to imagine a new Hartley’s Village, one which addresses contemporary patterns of living rather than 19th century paternalism. The intention was to interrogate and understand the nature of suburban housing, to explore and analyse the historic environment, to discuss ideas with the local community heritage groups and, finally, to synthesise new forms of housing within a new form of urban village.

4. Renewable Energy - Due to the orientation of the homes in order to capitalise on solar gain, heat and light, they are perfectly placed for the use of photovoltaic technology. A district biomass boiler will aslo provide heating for the whole scheme.

5. Water - Rain water will be stored in underground tanks for use as toilet flushing & gardening.

To let warm air and unwated fumes escape the dwellings feature apex ventilation with a built in heat capture system.

Excess warm air is captured and pumped back to a central heat exchanger where it is distrubuted throughout the house.

East

The core of each dwelling features a double height stair case with a central roof light directly above.

This allows for stack ventilation to occur with cool air entering on the ground floor through window vents etc which then rises and gets extracted at the top via the roof light or the apex vents.

Each dwelling contains a central heating/control room above the office space on the first floor.

Controlling everything from the heating to the water & electricity. It also manages output from the biomass & underground water storage systems, calculating how much the house needs of each. Smart meters will feature in every room allowing the occupant to manage each zone individually.

A* Rated Double Glazing

A community garden will feature to the rear of the scheme. It is intended to be shared with the local school were residents can help out with the educational process. Fruit and vegeatables can be grown and shared out between the community.

Central Heating/Control Room

As an alternative to burning fossil fuels, wind turbines will be in place to provide electricity for the District Heating System. Any excess energy will be stored and distributed to each dwelling.

Core Stack Ventilation

Central to the whole scheme is the biomass boiler system that supplies and distributes heat to every dwelling within the masterplan. The heat is distributed through a network of underground insulated pipes carrying hot water or steam that is regulated both locally and controlled centrally. District heaters can cut heating costs by 50% and reduce CO2 emissions by 95,000kg per year.

Roof Ventilation & Heat Capture

The system captures water from both landscaped areas through surface infiltration and from roof areas.

Grey water is retained using a primary tank in the centre of the masterplan were it is then distrubuted to secondary tanks under each individual dwelling to be used as toilet flushing & watering the garden.

Permeable paving allows the movement of stormwater & rainwater through the pavement surface.

In addition to reducing runoff, this effectively traps suspended solids and filters pollutants from the water.

Permeable Pavers

In the centre of the scheme is the shared community garden that will be home to a wildflower garden offering a diverse, and typically exceptionally attractive, habitat for the neighbourhood. Wildflowers are also useful for their role as pollinator plants as they help to support declining bee populations.

Deciduous Trees

All housing typologies (including detached) feature a roof overhang primarily for shading purposes but also as a design feature.

With large areas of glazing, the overhang is required to prevent direct sunlight penetrating & over heating the interior spaces.

13:00 pm - With the sun now on its descent shadows will begin to be cast. The front terraces will recieve no afternoon sun.

Bee Keeping & Wildflower Meadow

South facing roofs to feature solar panels which will capture the sun’s energy using photovoltaic cells.

These cells don’t need direct sunlight to work – they can still generate some electricity on a cloudy day. The cells convert the sunlight into electricity, which can be used to run household appliances and lighting. Any excess energy can be sold back to the grid.

6. Ecology - The centre of the scheme features a wildflower meadow that will hopefully create a new micro eco-system within the community.

With large areas of each elevation featuring glazing, it is critical to minimise heat loss whilst maximising heat gains, reducing the need for mechanical heating as much as possible. To acheive this, windows and doors will feature low-emitting A* rated double glazing with argon gas infills.

(Fig 1) The Jam fields proposal is home to over four different housing typologies. However in order to acheive a detailed structure and facade study, the three bed detached houses are featured.

Located on Spice Street this row of contemporary brick and zinc dwellings plays one of the most pivotable roles within the whole development; sharing a street front with the original houses Hartley built for his workers. Due to this it was vital that the new dwellings featured a minimal frontage and did not exceed the height of the existing houses. It was also key that material wise the new dwellings matched the existing vernacular of red brick, with the only difference being the zinc roofing that would act as an architectural feature. In order to acheive this minimalist style certain design tricks had to be considered; such as the hidden gutter system within the wall and the clean connection between the roof and walls (see figure 1 below).

This is a small Eco community made up of 19 sustainable homes located in Fazakerley on the outskirts of the city centre. The project consist of 4 house types; 1,2,3 bed terraces and 3 bed detached homes, to meet the needs of as broad a community as possible.

The scheme promotes community interaction through the use of one large central communal garden. All homes back onto the communal garden and have direct access to it.

Whilst the focus is towards the community garden, each house also has their own small private garden.

All 19 houses are heated and have hot water provided by a district biomass boiler system. The idea is that the boiler room is managed by the local community as an engagement scheme. The scheme also features an allotment garden (shared with the local school) where residents can grow their own foods and learn new skills.

Phase 3 Secondary Structure - Now that the super structure is complete, the s ble layer of structural block work is erected between the steel members. This gives a s against during the next phase of construction. Finally the free standing staircase is ca the block work.

The project investigates dense urban housing typologies, providing 103 high quality, maisonette dwellings.

The building responds to its context, winding along two sides of the site and detaching itself from the third, away from a busy road and protected by the retained mature trees.

The resulting form generates a multiplicity of apartment types that interlock to combine into larger blocks, revolving around the circulation corridor. Thus, the name Mosaic refers to the amalgamation of these various types and the diverse homes they create.

Oriented towards families, the proposed design has a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom dwellings with private exterior spaces. Mosaic also provides large spaces for social activities and a communal garden.

OPTIMISING DENSITY: CITY CENTRE FAMILY LIVING

The recent government Housing White Paper recommends higher densities of new housing provision to developable sites. This project set out the proposition that by building attractive residential development at higher density to create vibrant, accessible and affordable neighbourhoods close to popular city centres, the prevalent market conditions can be changed.

Evidence of current market conditions and acceptance of low density development can be found in the Draft Liverpool Local Plan, which identifies a number of potential residential development sites and gives an anticipated amount of growth to each site. The project was focused around such sites close to the new Great Homer Street District Centre in North Liverpool. The Centre itself is a retail led project underpinned by a large new supermarket, and consequently not very positive example of urban densification, nonetheless the area is very well located, with easy access to the city centre and the football stadia and potentially benefits from great views over the Mersey.

Sharing the ambitions of the Beautiful Ideas Co CIC, and the former The Beautiful North initiative, the brief was to create imaginative high quality housing for families at a density of occupation that would create a lively atmosphere more typically found in a continental European city centre residential district. Attention was paid to the provision of green space for the sole use of residents, which has often been overlooked in similar scale developments.

Victoria Bray GREAT MERSEY STREET TERRACE

As identified for residential development by Liverpool City Council, Great Mersey Street outlined by LCC for 22 new presumably standard semi-detached or terraced family homes, this proposal strives to achieve a much higher density of 55 homes for both single occupancy and families with access to both public and private external space that will encourage social Interaction and develop a strong sense of community.

Key elements of Design include creating a range of housing typologies to appeal to a wider audience (1p-6p), public and private green or external space, and encouragement of social interaction (circulation routes and allotments) to enhance neighbourliness. The adjacent Georgian terrace, which houses the Rotanda Centre has been a key influence upon the massing and public, outward, facades as the scheme seeks to combine sensitivity to context with modern vibrant living.

Matthew Usher GREAT MERSEY STREET TERRACE

The scheme creates dense living which is attractive and desirable to families. This was achieved through the creation of a block which is introspective and enclosed to the north, respecting the Georgian context, but which opens up to the south overlooking sheltered and sunny communal gardens. The floor plates retreat at each level to create multiple green spaces of different uses. These spaces are then accessed from each unit, providing each resident with their own private garden. This encourages the residents to take ownership over the outdoor spaces and take pride in their area, keeping the space alive. Almost all units within the proposal are dual aspect, using as much natural sunlight and ventilation as possible to reduce energy costs.

This year produced a number of illustrated and constructed texts on a wide variety of architectural subjects. The topics took a variety of approaches including regional, national and international themes. They ranged from utopian visions in the United Kingdom and America to library provision in the digital age. The finished texts produced readable and visually stimulating work.

Sample summary information is provided here.

Harry Foster A STUDY OF THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE & NEUROSCIENCE 2016 RIBA Silver Medal nomination As a profession, architects have long been aware of the how spaces trigger our senses, which in turn impact upon our feelings of a particular space. Nonetheless, it has been widely unexplored exactly how the built environment exists as a stimuli that we perceive, navigate and experience through each of our five senses; instigating infinite chemical reactions in the brain. Whereby, these responsive collisions of sensory inputs and psychological reactions within the brain can be recognized as the dictators for a person’s psychological and physical response to that particular space and time.

Historically, there is an argument to suggest that architects been driven primarily by the singular sense of sight, concerned ideally with the visual aesthetic value of the architecture that is created; constituting a certain disregard for the other four senses which allow a person to perceive and enjoy their inhabited environment. It is the progressive collaboration of architects and neuroscientists which has begun to deepen the understanding of the perception of spaces as a multi-sensory experience. Whereby, architectural phenomenon stimulates each of our five senses, all of which are tugging and pushing the brain in different psychological directions; to subsequently congregate in an overall psychological response to a space. It is this resulting mental balance which dictates a person’s final unconscious emotional, behavioral, and physical responses to spaces in a microsecond before the conscious, cognitive thought process can reason their particular feelings towards a space.

By studying neuroscience, the development and psychological maintenance of the brain can be further understood by architects. Whereby, neuroscience unveils the role that synaptic pruning plays in the development and growth of the brain; and how a person’s surrounding environments impacts upon this process. The development of the brain is established into two processes: ‘experience expected’ and ‘experience dependent’ synaptic pruning. From which, experience expected development is written into a person’s genealogy and is fixed from their DNA, but the experience dependent process occurring in the cerebral cortex is dictated by the person’s independent experiences of the world and is susceptible to external inputs.

By utilizing neuroscience, architects can utilize the knowledge of the brain’s development to greater understand the impact that the built environment has upon the development of a person’s brain and the outcomes that are related to it. Subsequently, the study explores how architects can design and control the built environment in a mannerism that can manipulate the outcomes, growth and progression of the brain in a more positive and healthy manner.

The study is an examination of the benefits that architects can draw from utilizing ‘neuro-architecture’ to design the built environment as a multi-sensory phenomenon that evokes positive emotional, psychological, and behavioral responses from the inhibitors of the space. Furthermore, with the connection between architecture and neuroscience recognized, the study examines how, as architects, we can negate the surplus aspects of stress, anxiety, and negate negative emotions - which are associated with these environments - by designing an equilibrium of multi-sensory inputs that provoke a stronger psychological state of the inhabitants and encourage the healthy development of the brain.

Finally, the study exemplifies BDP’s Alder Hey Children’s Hospital as an outstanding example of design children’s healthcare environments.

Domnica Chisca DIVERGENT LIBRARIES

Ross Whittle TRANSATLANTIC UTOPIAN EXPERIMENTS: A CONTRASTING STUDY OF SOCIAL EXPERIMENTS IN THE USA AND UK.

Libraries have been repositories of manuscripts, books and important documents since their creation.

Although the primary purpose of libraries remains unchanged, their functions have been extended to become hubs of generating and developing ideas.

The study looks at the attitude people have towards reading and how it affects libraries. Through analysis of the design trends, the way they are implemented in new buildings and the increasing popularity of nontraditional libraries, a design brief can be formulated.

The design proposes to test the initial findings and the effects of an atypical library on the local community‘s opinion of books by monitoring how people interact with it.

One of the most fertile periods of utopic development occurred during the late 18th and early 19th century, the roots of idealistic communities formed in both the UK, USA and elsewhere. Whilst some ventures towards utopia focused on reaching a religious zenith, others prioritised the factory workers and inhabitants under that particular veil of utopia. This study aimed to dissect the makings of utopia in and around the early 1800’s and drew conclusions as to the impact architecture may have had on such experiments.

This body of work explored two particular attempts at utopia, one spearheaded by Robert Owen in New Lanark, Scotland, UK and the other by George Ripley at the transcendentalists Brook Farm, Massachusetts, USA. Although the communities shared a common goal of utopianism, they were at times subtly and at others radically different in their architectural and philosophical approach. Although not posed in such a direct manner within the essay, the overarching question at the centre of this research was: does architecture play a role in utopia?

Adam Dwyer A GRACE OF HEALTHY ARCHITECTURE

A Grace of Healthy Architecture explores the evolution of the National Health Service as a sensory well-being experience since the institution was formed in 1948. During the modern era, the hospital has become more of a machine than a monument, stripped down to accommodate the increasingly complex technical apparatus for prolonging life. The sensory experience became overshadowed by science. Architecture flat lined. The result is, as we spend more of our medically extended lives in hospitals, as our most intense and emotional moments, from childbirth to death, are experienced in hospital rather than at home, the buildings in which we find ourselves are devoid of culture, stripped of aesthetic and any architectural depth or symbolism. These buildings constitute our entrances to and our exits from the physical world, yet at the exact moments we are most in need of meaning and spiritual uplift, we find ourselves surrounded by the bleak expression of hygiene and efficiency which characterise the modern hospital.

The study aims to analyse the architectural design and therapeutic values of the Maggie’s centres located at major NHS cancer hospitals distributed across the United Kingdom and the Centre for Cancer and Health Copenhagen. Maggie Keswick Jencks was diagnosed with cancer in 1988, when she was forty-seven.

During this defining period Maggie’s personal experience’s led to the creation of the Edinburgh Cancer Caring Centre, the first Maggie’s centre. There is now a collection of 18 Maggie’s centres located across the United Kingdom.

The network of centres designed by leading architects, provide therapeutic environments for support, information and practical advice. The study reviews design through: circulation, viewpoints, natural light, typology, sensory experience, the gardens and bridge. Focusing on visits to the Maggie’s centres: Clatterbridge, Nottingham, Charing Cross and the CCC Copenhagen, analytical diagrams, photography and sketches evidence their value. The study assesses innovative ideas for the uncertain future of the National Health Service, through the application of a new kind of ‘healthy’ architecture as a solution.

Alexandra Douka CHARLES AND RAY EAMES The main focus of this study will develop themes and practices related to Charles and Ray Eames. The first chapter of the dissertation entitled ‘Production’ is to gather and analyse the diverse work that Charles and Ray Eames produced throughout the years. The different materials they used and the techniques they applied, but also the field of their interest according to the needs of each time period, are going to be the key topics examined.

During their shared career they produced innumerable furniture designs as well as films, textiles, toys, architectural designs and much more.

The following chapter will examine their partnership, which lasted for thirty-seven years and was a marriage in every sense of the word, both professionally and personally. The aim of this chapter is to examine the shared life of Charles and Ray Eames as both partners and a couple. The way the one affected the other, but also the way a painter and an architect combined their passion for design and at the same time managed to run one of the most successful offices in the furniture industry, without letting their work affect their personal relationship and instead making it stronger.

The final chapter about the partnership and their association with others with the focus on the main partners who worked with Charles and Ray Eames during their lives. One of them, Florence Knoll, operates the successful Knoll furniture company and is one of the offices that will be examined not only about their collaboration, but also about their views on the relationship between architecture and furniture design. Furthermore, in this chapter the relationship between Charles and Ray Eames and their partners will be examined, in addition to the different types of people the couple collaborated with throughout their careers, according to the different projects and needs they had at various times in their working careers.

COMPREHENSIVE DESIGN PROJECTS

The Comprehensive Design Project (CDP) is the major project of the Masters Programme and provides the opportunity for students to explore architectural proposals in depth.

Derived from the Group Urban Design undertaken at the start of the year, each student develops a project brief which they then take from concept to detailed resolution.

All aspects of the final year programme (history and theory, practice management and law, technology and environment) are linked to the CDP which becomes the vehicle for individual exploration.

The type of project is determined by the nature of the Group Urban Design and by the personal agendas of each student. Students are encouraged to engage with real issues raised during the group work whilst simultaneously challenging established norms and preconceptions. A critical re-appraisal of established building types and inventive approaches to the generation of new forms is encouraged, with the CDP becoming the opportunity to explore ideas through the medium of design.

Teaching is focused upon supporting each individual student’s own critical position, rather than any imposition of approach, and consequently the subsequent pages of project work are categorised only by name.

Sami Boner THE REPOSITORY OF THE UNCONSCIOUS

The proposal is, in a sense, a hotel where you can check in and, in some cases, never check out. It serves as a playground for the rich; somewhere they can go to live out their fantasies with an ‘anything goes’ kind of reality.

The vertical maze embraces the seven sins in an attempt to entice the occupant, whose path is ultimately chosen by their unconscious mind. Those who choose to check in to this non-reality risk becoming trapped in the maze where they could essentially ‘sin to death’.

Eleri Plews SPORTS CENTRE

60.2% of the population of Halton don’t partake in any exercise/sports activities on a regular basis. There are so many reasons why people don’t exercise and the challenge was to create a sports facility for the whole community, that starts to address these. The proposal is a combination of typical sports spaces with alternative activities integrated in to the ‘space between’ with each space having views in to and from other spaces, enticing involvement in something new.

In February the student society successfully applied for an educational activity grant from the Pro-Vice Chancellor’s office. This grant supported 50 members of the Architectural Society to take an overnight study trip to Edinburgh. Highlights of a full itinerary and walking tour included the main debating chamber of the Scottish Parliament buildings and St Albert’s Chapel within the University of Edinburgh campus.

The society lecture series was entitled ‘Making’ and included a diverse range of speakers from across the UK.

SOCIETY This year’s Architecture Ball was a sell-out, with 180 people attending the event at the Isla Gladstone Pavilion in Stanley Park. Coming just 24 hours after the final submission of CDP projects, it was a particularly well appreciated opportunity to celebrate, wildly, the end of the academic year, and for some the completion of their studies.
