THESIS / architecture
BRIEF For my thesis proposal the question is: it possible to bring the agricultural industry into an urban environment that can be managed on a human scale, reconnecting the relationship between the human being, nature and agriculture into a building that will create a new model on what social housing could be. The design will focus on a community driven programme of different types of farming happening on separate levels in the tower. These different typologies will create a superfarm that will produce sustainable foods that can be used within the local community, and traded within the market hall adjacent to the high-rise. Furthermore, internal winter gardens will be in each of the duplex apartments to have independent growing from the community allotments that creates a link between nature and the home.

SITE The site, located in Belgium, Ghent was an old apartment block that was constructed in 1968 as a new modern social housing scheme. Currently the building has aged and the homes within are cramped and outdated. The intention of this thesis is to redevelop this existing building and re-purpose the structure to create a new model of social housing in a developing urban environment. This new model will re-establish the relationship between housing, nature and the human into a modern scheme that focuses on sustainability and self sufficiency creating a new architectural and agricultural link in a contemporary city.

SKETCH
DEVELOPMENT
1. creating form within the lines creating simple sketches with very few lines helped in developing the project by creating a series of diagrammatic type drawing to show how the existing structure would develop over the process.
2. extracting the elevation In this sketch the elevation starts to develop, by thinking about how the existing building would change with the removal of parts of the ground floor
3. more division Placement and playing with the existing form, creating a more dynamic building rather than just a monolithic tower block.

Portfolio / James Blackburn
4. additional form Adding form to the pre-existing tower to create a more interesting and unique visual form that would catch the eye from afar.
5. threshold heights Early stages looked at how the threshold between the high-rise and the relationship with the market hall could interact with each other to create a rhythmic pattern to stimulate and create atmosphere.
6. public realm in utero Even at the early stage, public realm and the importance of the structure of landscaping and its central role to the thesis was discussed in sketch form.

Passive cross ventilation through the apartments bring in cool air from windows and air vents to recycle stale and warm air within the building. Lowering the use of mechanical ventilation for more natural passive systems.
Water harvesting from rainfall collected on the roof will be used to water vegetation on the building and excess water will be stored in a water tank in the basement for use, during dry seasons.
Internal winter gardens within each apartment create a micro climate to grow plants, produce and flowers within their own home. Creating a bio-diverse system that produces oxygen and purifying the pollution from outside sources. Also, creating health benefits and well-being by growing your own sustainable produce.
The construction and glazing being implemented into the building like the triple glazing, keeps the buildings internal temperature at a comfortable level and with the concrete structure absorbing solar gains during the day to create a thermal mass that will be released during the day, heating the building with the help of underfloor heating to heat the building in a balanced sustainable way.

ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY The main environmental strategies for the thesis project being a social housing project, is the heating and ventilation of the building. Ventilation of the building will use a mixture of mechanical ventilation but mostly, Cross passive ventilation from east to west inside the duplex apartments. Also the use of a thermo deck slab system on the new construction will help ventilate the building from within the slab. Secondly, heating of the building will come mostly from new insulation enveloping each of the apartment duplex’s, with no cold bridging happening from the external slab into the building. On the other hand, another aspect of the design is the bio-diversity found inside and out of the building. The external balconies will be covered in a variety of plants and vegetation that will recycle the air to create a clean micro climate around the building. Also, produce and flowers will be grown within the building making it a hub of bio-diversity and a model for how social housing can implment nature within it’s design.

In seeking to address in some part the ongoing financial cuts to the public sector, Sefton Council runs an ‘Invest to Save’ programme which looks to make savings to annual budgets by rationalising facilities and services. We have been asked to look at a feasibility study for a significant (circa £1m) new building design. The study is to consider building an extension on the side of Bootle Library to relocate Marie Clarke and Cambridge Family Well-being centres into. This will create a community hub in Bootle, give opportunities for innovative ways of service 3 delivery, reduce operational costs and produce a capital receipt from the sale/ redevelopment of land. Family Well-being Centres provide joined up support for children and young people aged 0-19 years to make family life that little bit easier. Parents and carers receive extra help, advice and guidance to help them build confidence and resilience to deal with things that family life throws at them. The project will involve visiting the existing facilities to be replaced, developing a full programme, scheme, cost advice and planning permission considerations, to provide a comprehensive feasibility study for the client.

PROGRAMME
To truly understand what the clients needs we went to visit both sites Visiting the existing library gave us a good understanding of the site that we had to work with, and visiting the Marie Clarke Centre allowed us to understand the program of our proposals. The following is what we established that needed designing into our proposal; • 5/6 Contact rooms for mixed age groups • Community room that could be locked off • Joint entrance that is welcoming, as well as being an easily controlled space • Joint staff room to integrate library and family centre staff • Office space for family well being centre • Community cafe • Kitchen/laundry room to create ‘home situations’ • Storage • Toilets and baby changing facilities • Outside area that offers safe place for children to play • Second ‘quiet entrance’

RE-GENERATING GHENT
Portfolio / James Blackburn
GENT BRUSSELS
The municipality of Gent lies within the north west region of Flanders, Belgium. The gent terneuzen canal, which has direct access to the North Sea, the port has grown significantly since its inception in the 10th Century. Sitting at the confluence of two rivers, the river Lys and the river Scheldt. The city has transformed from an industrial textile city to a thriving university city of 260,000 inhabitants. The new district aims to echo the spirit of a previously self sufficient city of Gent, which created it’s own produce for the people behind its medieval walls. The scheme aims to expand on the idea of self sufficiency by creating a number of facilities that nurture small local businesses and create jobs within the district. New shops and cafés selling locally made products, as wall as business incubators for small companies will nurture the talent and fruitfullness of the city and fuel the regeneration of the area. The canal running through the site echoes the divide previously enforced by Gent’s medieval defences. The canal now represents an opportunity for new connections to be bridged and an opportunity for the departure from medieval gent into a new self sustainable district to be celebrated.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Re-purposing site Around the site there are a multitude of disused, brown sites and areas that could be re-purposed to redevelop the surround in area.
New pedestrian routes Creating new pedestrian routes for the community with new transport links for bicycles, trams and the people are key to our proposal scheme.
Firstly on the east side of the canal, there are disused factories and brown sites that could be demolished and the land used to create new business and residential units.
These new routes will create an early template for our urban design by creating smaller quadrants to organise and design more easier, in relation with our manifesto and the local community.

we our proposing a an massing approach e into this new and scape, this is also uch writings as Jane ch.
Corridors Creating areas of green landscape and spaces such as parks are another key element within our manifesto. Making as many green spaces within the ‘between’ stitching places where people want to go and spend time within the area. Furthermore, creating a more environmentally friendly city that wants to be sustainable and give clean healthy lifestyles to the local community.
Connecting the canal Re-connecting the canal is a key point in our proposal. Being the main element within our site, it is essential that the canal plays a part in the urban design. Creating floating platforms and promenades that connect the sites in land to the body of water is a idea that we would like to implement into our design proposals.

PUBLIC REALM
OVERVIEW
In the masterplan, the public square is central to each of the three main aspects of the scheme. Firstly, in the residential areas of the masterplan, public squares surround the accommodation housing blocks to create spaces where the inhabitants can have spaces to use outside which is important in creating successful housing with areas of civic space and landscape. Furthermore, creating public realm spaces that work with the infrastructure is vitally important to make spaces where people can meet but are also large enough so that people getting on and off trams have enough space to freely move around the space. This is highlighted in the square around the old cement factory, which is now a important meeting point and tram station for the new masterplan scheme.

BRIEF This project is focused along Park Road, Toxteth, in close proximity to the Town Hall and the Reservoir. There are a number of available sites, currently used as parking plots, allotments or empty green plots. The project seeks to examine space and age variations of mainly high density flats that should form, together with the existing low rise housing developments in the adjacent streets, a bustling neighbourhood, equipped with services and in close proximity to public means of transport (bus 82, Brunswick station). How can apartments be though in a way to accommodate different lifestyles? And, how can variants of apartment types be inter-related, such a three-dimensional puzzle, to form opportunities for community?
MANIFESTO The UK has a housing crisis, there isn’t enough Social housing to accommodate the ever growing population and in Princes Park there is a population of people that live in poor health and lack of a intergenerational community. Situated in Toxteth, Liverpool. The site on Park Road has potential to become the site of a social housing scheme that will host intergenerational housing for young professionals, starting families and the Elderly. The Scheme will have commercial units that will stretch the ground floor on Park Road servicing the whole community and the new housing above. Furthermore, there will a central courtyard spine that will run through the whole scheme that has community green spaces and winter gardens that can be used all year round. The main goal for this scheme was to create a connection between generations by creating housing that mixes the communities together, making a cohesive healthy environment that all can live in.

ivanʼs childhood
Introduction Andrei Tarkovsky, one of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th century and a prolific icon in Soviet cinema, Tarkovsky created a filmography that has become highly influential in film history. The seven feature films that he made during an important time in the Soviet Union have political and social influence in the narrative of his films (Bird, 2008). Furthermore, Tarkovsky films have themes of concepts in time, reality and dreamscapes blended with the natural environment and its elements of fire, water, air and earth. This ideology that Tarkovsky creates around these concepts is always found to be inside of architectural spaces. These spaces, are normally found in interiors and urban spaces that are surreal and unique to anything else that was being developed in a film during this time (Brown, 2014). These spaces found in Tarkovsky’s films are what will be analysed within this dissertation. There are a few instances where people have tried to analyse the sites found inside of Tarkovsky’s filmography by analysing the philosophy or technical aspects that Andrei Tarkovsky used. However, there is no evidence of people trying to dissect the architectural qualities found inside of these unique sites, spaces and urban environments.
To complete this study, an in-depth analysis of the seven films will have to be recorded by looking at important key spaces found in each film. Creating architectural plans and sections of these key spaces will help to look at the sites in more technical detail in relation to the photographic stills of these spaces from the films and production stills. These will create a record of photographs that will give full insight to the spaces found in Tarkovsky’s films, together with photographic stills and architectural plans and sections that will create will bring a resource in analysing and dissecting the places.
“Tarkovsky for me is the greatest (director), the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream.” - (Bergman, 2003)
The purpose of this study will be to analyse the architectural spaces found inside of Tarkovsky’s filmography. Each film out of a series of seven all have spaces that have unique architectural qualities from the spaces atmosphere, building material and detailing to the characteristic style. Also, the influences that can be seen within these spaces will give a great understanding of what the purpose of the space is trying to achieve. These influences can be from other artistic principles found in art, literature and philosophy. Secondly, another important element that will be analysed inside of the spaces is the use of the movement of the camera, the moving image has great importance in how you experience and observe a space. This movement will be key to analysing the sites for more insight into how the places want to be seen and how it affects the interiors with the use of movement. 6

INDIVIDUAL URBAN DESIGN / architecture
BRIEF Working from the outputs of the group urban design project, take a specific element of the group project, such as a singular street of square or other public spatial feature and develop it up to a finer level of detail, with regard to materiality, composition, and landscape design. Your design proposal should also indicate the massing and possible design approach to the surrounding buildings and the way in which they might contribute to the urban setting you develop.
MANIFESTO - Develop Amphitheatre to link Education and Community sides of Kronos - Develop the Learning street with function with the Amphitheatre - Implement these elements e.g markets, outdoor park, shade - Look at historical context of the site and Greek mythology to develop your scheme

URBAN DESIGN KRONOS
‘The city is that entity to which we choose to give a name: Berlin or Paris...New York or Chicago...Budapest or Moscow. Yet this schema of naming is too easy, for in using a singular word … we rush too quickly over the bewildering complexity that a city, many cities, might be.” (Miles, Hall and Borden, 2000: 1)

BRIEF Working within one of the thorough; going to the root) which will be expressed as additionally physical models
defined sites you are to make radical (far� reaching; urban design propositions for a neighbourhood or district, a spatial proposition through visual imagery initially, and and moving images at a concluding public exhibition.
In asking for radical propositions, we are seeking work that goes beyond the typical outputs of contemporary consultancy firms, which are normally tightly constrained by various factors. Notwithstanding this your work should still demonstrate a clear understanding and response to the fundamental attributes of successful place�making. To enable this you will need to propose your own development through research establish a key thematic idea that your project

MANIFESTO Our manifesto is to redevelop the Kronos distillery ensuring that the existing buildings are retained. Ensuring that these iconic buildings of Elefsina are recognised as a key place to be in the town. Also to reconnect Kronos to the rest of Elefsina bringing infrastructure to the area with transport links from Elefsina to Athens and the rest of Europe with new road networks, and reconnecting the Gulf of Elefsina to the town. Redeveloping the Kronos distillery as an educational campus specialising in studies relating to the issues relating to the site proximity to the coast and Elefsina’s pollution crisis. Research developed at this campus could create an awareness from surrounding universities in Greece and Europe which will make Elefsina a key place to be in that specialised marine research. Lastly, creating spaces available for the local community to host weekly markets in the public squares around Kronos. This will allow an influx of the Greek culture to be in-bedded into the Kronos site. In addition, developing residential accommodation for students and the local community in secondary phases expanding the development around the Kronos education site.

URBAN ANALYSIS Major route analysis highlighted the need to redesign the coastal road in order to better accommodate pedestrians whilst still maintaining good traffic flow. Response - Road reduced to 2 lanes with frequent crossing points, connecting the promenade with the city.
Analysis of the road network in Elefsina indicates a strong gird formation for the city. Response - To follow existing routes through the proposed site and where possible, replicate the block size demonstrated around the city. Public Transport Analysis highlighted to need for coastal connections between areas of Elefsina to be redeveloped. Response - The implementation of a coastal tram line.
