Mathew Dalton 2020 Porfolio BA(Hons) Architecture Liverpool School of Art and Design
About Me I am a 21 year old architecture student graduaing from the Liverpool School of Art and Design 2020 Architecture cohort. Growing up on the Wirral meant I was fortunate enough to be exposed to Liverpool’s deep and rich architectural history from a young age. Couple this with my family’s history working in the construcion industry, and you get a passion for architecture and building design. I have always been drawn to architecture that creates public realms within the buildings outdoor spaces, for funcionality and areas for appreciaing the building itself. This is a common theme in my projects. My aspiraions are to take my knowledge from my architectural studies and apply it to a career in commercial property and building surveying.

Comprehensive Design Project Forging Focus is a collaboraive working space in Liverpool that houses the ciies small businesses and entrepreneurs. This coworking space creates the opimal working condiions, improving the quality and quanity of the working hours for its variety of visitors. This is done through psychological triggers of happiness and focus, that are embedded within the spaces created. Ater researching the low state, I found key factors that can be inluenced by a buildings design. These factors directly correlate to channelling focus and improving producivity through encouraging reaching a low state and they acted as the foundaions for my building concept.

Weather or Not Weather or Not was a design project centered in Hebden Bridge, a West Yorkshire town that is prone to annual looding. The brief was to design a public space with a research center on one of three sites. My site lay in the town center on the canal itself, and so was very prone to looding. I chose to create a space to house the local lood prevenion groups and act as a base for their operaions as well as a public meeing space and informaion center. The idea for the space was to allow it to be looded, rather than pushing more water further downstream. It also was designed to meet the water level and create safe stepped access to the looded canal.

The project was based around the unused Churchill way lyover and housed indoor workout faciliies, outdoor team sport

Urban Design Project The aim of the urban design project was to regenerate a site in Liverpool with a mixture of indoor and outdoor spaces, with the focus being on the later. The site that was given was the Fabric District of Liverpool, and I chose to focus on Staford Street and the surrounding roads. The scheme aimed to house the local market place and smaller retail units, and improve their business with an inviing and engaging urban space. The space was designed to have incorporated routes and connecions between the key points of the site.
