Mark Barlow I am a 25 year old part two architect graduating Liverpool John Moores University in 2020. Over the past two years studying MAarch Architecture, I have been given the support to progress my learning and creativity, pushing my boundary and helping me to create designs which once where unthinkable.

I am a very active person who is ready to adapt and collaborate from the start on projects. I work extremely well with a team, as shown in multiple different architecture firms (Studio RBA) and entrainment facilitates (Alton Towers Resort).

Accelerate Factory has been designed in a way where it will be seen as a vista or

and

the

development.

Without being directly next to the building, users will see its iconic concrete stacks towering above the Chester skyline; the visuals shown depict the centre from a number of angles and times of day, showing how the building can have a different feeling from where and when the users look at the centre.

Accelerate Factory is a complex design for a building due to its height, function and also the spans it will create. One of the main details of the structure is the use of a 675mm slab of post-tension concrete flooring for each floor of the building. This allows the

Working as part of a group, the new Chester development was a scheme to create a new hub within the city centre of Chester without disturbing the fabric of the city centre.

The development is compromised of a number of different islands, located on the site of the Chester golf course. Each sub-island consists of a number of different activities, including; retail, bars and restaurant space, apartments, schools, office space, low cost public housing and numerous different public spaces, interacting with the islands design.

The Blue Route, an extension of the Ellsemere Port connection project, developing the site north of the connection route. The site will be home to a number of different apartments, restaurants, bars and social spaces.

The main design feature of this project is the use of the water canals within the site. Users will be able to use boats as transport around the site, and further along the canal routes highlighted within the plan.

P o r t

The Ellesmere Port project was a development scheme to connect Ellesmere port together as one, rather than its current, slip state.

The project uses a route on both sides of the main express way within the area, creating a route for users to walk/cycle from one of the main hubs of the area, Cheshire Oaks, bringing them out at this new development north of the route.

The idea was to lower the need for cars within the area, since there is currently a high build-up of them using the roads around the area.
