7222AR - Thesis Project The Brunswick Conservation and Research Aquarium
The chosen area is ideal for a large, statement building; a key area of the masterplan in which the Brunswick dock and River Mersey interact. Despite Liverpool’s size, endless uses and character, there are no Aquariums. Being an opportunity for a large, interactive public building, due to the nature of the surrounding water and the short walking distance to the proposed ferry terminal, an aquarium would be a great addition to the Dingle and Liverpool in general.

Selected Masterplan Site The highlighted area seems ideal for a large, statement building, a key area of the scheme of which the Brunswick dock and River Mersey are allowed to interact. Despite Liverpool’s size, endless uses and character, there is no Aquarium. Being an opportunity for a large, interactive public building, due to the nature of the surrounding water and the short walking distance to the proposed ferry terminal, an aquarium would be a great addition to the Dingle and Liverpool in general. Through combining the aquarium and biodiversity, the improved environment and landscaping will contribute massively towards improving the mental health of the visitors to the site.

Liverpool & Leeds Canal Network The Liverpool & Leeds canal spans a total of 127 miles in length holding 91 separate locks. The canal network terminates at the proposed site as the Brunswick dock gates connect to the River Mersey. This connection justifies the need for a large, public, statement building and a considered approach to the landscaping surrounding the docks through to the proposed river situated amongst the large warehouses.

The Blue Planet Aquarium - Copenhagen
The Blue Planet Aquarium offered much inspiration throughout the project. The free-flowing nature inspired me to include a curvilinear approach within my scheme. The building includes rare instances of glazing creating a dramatic interior. This allows the exhibits to stand out against the dark walls, floors and ceilings creating very atmospheric spaces.

Ryan Davies 2020 Portfolio
Riverside Museum - Glasgow
Zaha Hadid’s Riverside Museum in Glasgow inspired the project due to it’s complex form and structural ability. The complex gable ends, and roof structure is very different to the much simpler form the aquarium took, despite this the building allows for a column free interior due to the portal frame like structure, this inspired the aquarium to take on the same column free approach internally.

7222AR - Group Urban Design Project A Healthier District The proposal aims to improve the current poor levels of health and fitness that the Dingle currently maintains. The proposal is separated into three individual phases, all contributing towards improved health. Phases one and two provide active and mental health at the bottom of the existing cliff face and along the waterfront. Whereas phase three situated at the top of the cliff is focused on the local community and improving eating habits.

Initial Masterplan Aim Remove the majority of Sefton Street, providing pedestrians with a car free route to walk and cycle.
To provide walkable green corridors connecting the docks to Princes Avenue, Princes Park and the Baltic Triangle. The vastly increased amount of urban greenery will improve local air quality.
To improve the relationship with the water with an active promenade. The existing docks is currently extremely narrow and unenjoyable to travel along. To create a dedicated, public realm for all visitors to the site, utilising existing warehouses to create a friendly, sociable, active environment. To link the docks to the Baltic Triangle. This will improve the noticeability of the revived docks and further encourage new visitors to the area.
To create a destination rather than a through route. The removal of Sefton Street and the increased transport opportunities will encourage more visitors to the enhanced social, active waterfront.
To overcome the separation of districts caused by the cliff face, offering much easier access for pedestrians to travel between the varying land levels. Outdoor spaces and activities will encourage people to meet and spend time with friends and family away from the comfort of their own homes.
To improve the public transport network and increase travel opportunities to the waterfront. A tramline with various stops along Liverpool’s waterfront will offer improved, direct access. To further improve the public transport network, a new ferry terminal will provide easy access directly to the site from Birkenhead.
To revive the existing run-down Brunswick Train Station.
To restore the historic Toxteth and Harrington Docks which were located between the waterfront warehouses years ago. The current docks and new proposed docks would offer great opportunities for watersports. To provide additional cycle paths, gym equipment and sports facilities to improve the health and fitness of Toxteth. This will encourage active lifestyles, building for the future and the next generation of sporting talents residing in Liverpool.

Ryan Davies 2020 Portfolio
ms and Proposals
The proposal will be split up into three separate phases. Phase one will begin with the dock revival and ferry terminal. The initial revival of the docks will be needed prior to the route connection phases. The warehouses will be reused for new social activities and venues and the promenade will be revived offering an improved pedestrianised route along the waterfront. Phase two will begin to connect the newly revived docks to the surrounding area. Sefton Street will be removed, and a new tramline will connect the docks to other districts along Liverpool’s waterfront. The removal of the road will abolish cars along the site and the green route will further encourage cycling and walking to and from the site. The popular Baltic triangle will encourage pedestrians to travel towards the social docks. Phase two will also overcome the issue caused by the cliff face wall, a external lift and a staircase will allow pedestrians to navigate easily between the land levels. The final phase proposes an enjoyable and direct route linking the redeveloped docks to Princes Avenue. A number of small sporting interventions combined with the existing sporting facilities available will lead down from Princes Avenue towards the large intervention at the docks. Proposed cycle paths along these roads will also encourage improved health and fitness.

7231AR - Management, Practice and Law Futureyard Future Works The ambitions of Futureyard are to develop young artists, offering studio spaces for education. As well as this Futureyard holds regular live music events within a 350 capacity indoor venue, along with a cafe/bar. The ambitions for Futureyard were to double the amount of studio space, as well as increasing hotdesking opportunities and improving the external “garden”. As a group we presented a phased vision to the client offering additional studios. This was done through utilising the loft space to allow for an additional floor, along with a modern extension and ridge extension. This allows for additional external performances on the flat roof terraces.

7122AR - Architectural Design Project Interactive Courtyards for Sociable Living The project aimed to introduce residential living for a poorly utilised site within Liverpool. The design involved a series of large courtyards continuing the rhythm of height along Upper Parliament street and the local roads. At the rear of the site are situated a variety of three storey height dwellings offering a more homely living compared to that of the flats within the courtyards. Each flat and house type offers a variety of bedroom sizes to suit the different needs of the residents, ground floor commerical spaces are also provided within the main courtyard.

DECIDUOUS TREES
PERMEABLE PAVEMENT
GEO-THERMAL HEAT PUMP
VERTICAL GARDENS
RAINWATER HARVESTING
Deciduous trees planted throughout the site will be able to adapt to the natural weather conditions in Liverpool throughout the year. During the summer months, the trees will be in full bloom provided additional shading to the homes at most risk. During the winter months, the leaves will fall allowing direct sunlight to enter the properties, generating additional heat, and further reducing the requirement of mechanical heating.
The winding pathways of the scheme will maintain a permeable surface treatment in the form of stabilized decomposed granite. This treatment will overcome the effects of excessive rainwater, draining it from the surface. As a result of this, the private and public access pathways will be safe for pedestrians and cyclists to use daily.
Underground geo-thermal heat pumps will transfer heat to and from the ground throughout the year during all seasons. Buried pipes will extract heat from the ground into a fluid before being passed over a heat exchanger. The increased heat will turn the liquid into a gas that can be passed through the units for heating and hot water.
Each courtyard block has been provided with vertical green walls. The vertical gardens will reduce local wind speeds, traffic noise, improve air quality as well as reducing the amount of heat lost from the units. The green walls will have a positive impact on the local environment with the aim to improve physical and mental health and wellbeing. As well as this, run off water can be filtered, stored underground in the rainwater harvesting collection tanks and reused.
Rainwater on the flat roof systems, terraces and permeable pavement will become filtered and stored in the underground rainwater collection tanks. This water will then be clean to reuse within the homes toilet systems, along with providing the nearby planting and trees sufficient water needed all year round.

SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT
TRIPLE GLAZING
NATURAL VENTILATION
INTERACTIVE BALCONIES
COMMUNAL SPACES
All public pathways are pedestrianised, despite this each path is large enough for vehicles in emergencies. All dwellings have access to a garage or parking spot, whereas the courtyards due not. Due to the site location close to Liverpool Town Centre, all residents of the courtyards will not require any parking privileges, therefore walking and cycling will be encouraged.
All buildings within the scheme will contain triple glazed indows. This will reduce the need for additional heating as internal heat will be retained efficiently. Triple glazing will also provide high quality acoustic properties, this will be beneficial to the public courtyard units, especially those situated above the commercial areas and the units overlooking the busy Upper Parliament Street.
Cross ventilation is available within the living areas of each apartment due to the positioning of windows and large terrace doors. The residents will be provided with fresh air when the windows and doors are opened, allowing natural air to flow through the units. The sleeping areas have been provided with large openings onto private terraces, this allows single sided ventilation that will provide each bedroom with suitable natural air.
The balconies allow residents to socially interact as they proceed to/from their own apartments. They are made of timber, benefitting the environmental welfare of the scheme. The natural materiality of the timber; along with the vertical gardens greenery, requires little energy to produce and will have an overall positive impact on the site.
Each resident has access to the communal spaces. The courtyards provide large open space for residents to interact outdoors. There is lots of green space supplied for activities and exercise, along with benches to sit down and trees for shading. As well as this there is a playground for all public use, encouraging additional attraction to the area along with the various commercial spaces on offer.

7121AR - Group Urban Design
Re-Stitching The Community The project was situated on the outskirts of Ghent town centre in Belgium along the canal edge. The proposal was to utilise as much as the existing building fabric as possible and provide suitable social housing within the vast amounts of vacant space on site. The social housing provided was in the form of large courtyards that were orientated in a way that offered access to the redeveloped warehouses along the waterfront, given new uses in the form of bars, restaurants and a community centre.

7121AR - Individual Urban Design Re-Stitching The Community The group urban design proposal in Ghent was developed individually, as one area of the scheme was progressed in more detail. The overall form was redesigned to become private use only, and the inner circulation of the courtyards were designed offering seating, planting, a playground and a general ambition for social interaction to occur between the residents of the courtyard. The project aimed to resolve the public circulation rather than designing the architecture in detail.

Ely Court JAJA Architects Ely Court inspired the general form of the courtyard and the connection between the ground floor units to the public realm and external landscaping.
Merrion Square Dublin Introducing a playground and areas of grass within the courtyard would offer a suitable place for younger children to play within the private courtyard.
Direct Pathways The direct routes connects each of the block together in the centre of the courtyard. This offers the residents easy access to and from their homes without having to travel around the entire units circumference.
Fragmented Seating Introducing seats within the courtyards encourages social interaction. The fragmented shapes relate to the obscure shape of the courtyard creating interesting seats whilst offering additional planting.

Biography I am an extremely dedicated and committed Part 2 Architecture graduate. I have always been a keen designer and organised individual who puts maximum effort into the task set.

Interests and Achievements My main interests outside of Architecture are both drawing and sport. Throughout my life I have been heavily involved in football and continue to play on a regular basis. This involvement has led to myself winning a variety of trophies and awards. As well as this, I was fortunate to captain my Intermural University football team, granting me the opportunity to provide and improve my leadership qualities. Another hobby I have recently rediscovered during the Covid outbreak is drawing. I initially began drawing for fun, but over time as my work has become more public I have been lucky enough to receive some commissions. I have recently completed hand-drawn portraits of people’s loved ones and pets during my free time. The drawings take a lot of time, patience and motivation, these are all qualities I maintain when aiming to produce the best work I can.
Skills - Hand Drawing - Model Making - Photoshop - Indesign - Sketchup - AutoCAD
Experience The work experience I have has helped me a great deal and proved that I can demonstrate key skills. After completing my Ba(Hons) course at Northumbria I spent 21 months in practice at theCAVE Architecture and Design, based in Wilmslow. The firm specialises mainly in high quality, bespoke residential projects. During my time at theCAVE I was involved in a large variety of projects providing hugely beneficial experience. I mainly worked on planning applications at the concept stage but as time went on my involvement in projects grew, giving me the freedom to showcase my design skills whilst massively improving my knowledge and understanding of architectural design. My software skills improved during this time; Sketchup, AutoCAD and Photoshop. These skills developed in practice, as well as communication, teamwork, time management and many more have all provided me with the necessary skills throughout my Masters degree to complete projects either by myself or as part of a team.
