Chosen site within Glasgow’s 15 minute city masterplan.

Developing from Glasgow’s 15 Minute Masterplan, Co-living & Coworking Glasgow will help to reduce the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic such as loneliness, anxiety, and depression by uniting individuals. The project will bring together those most vulnerable within the Barras Area including Single Person House Holds, Lone Parent House Holds and Families with One Dependent Child. Co-living & Co-working environments will help to foster a community which celebrates humanity and inhabitation through their passions for sociability, sustainability, and creativity. The project has been designed as a blank canvas for local artists to call their home, however it is intended that this will expand over the coming years to house a multitude of local businesses, developing the schemes flexibility and typological hybridity. This improvisation, authorship and ownership allows the new neighbourhood to develop their community and finish the design work. The project’s overall form takes inspiration from the Hutong typology where building frontages connect to a maze of different lanes, creating a neighbourhood that is full of life. Within the thesis project, the movement at ground level is extremely interesting as the shop fronts open to studios and courtyards, creating a maze of spaces in which people live and work.

What have we lost to covid-19?

Initial Concept Diagram

It is well known that Covid-19 has affected livelihoods and reduced many individual’s financial stability. This may have also further compounded issues found within social groupings, such as worry and concern. Individuals mental health might have been effected further by having to isolate away from their loved ones. Issues such as these can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety and depression. Co-living & Co-working may be the answer to this. The groups of people most vunerable to Covid-19 within the Barras Area of Glasgow are people living alone, lone parents and families with one dependent child. They should be united by common interests to reduce the negative effects of Covid-19.

Precedent Study: Hutong, Bejing

“Quadrangle courtyards on both sides of Hutongs were neighbors to each other. Behind the walls, every courtyard stood for a particular family space; and when they were aligned together by walls, all of them started to coexist and co-live on top of Beijing’a unique disposition.” Minor Lab

Concept Diagram The concept image show how working areas can develop into spaces for painters, bakers, and bookshops owners. The spaces within are organised in a hierachy. The shop connects to places of work and outdoor courtyards in which people can socialise. The accommodations and private gardens sit above this giving resident’s a place to escape from the bustle of the ground floor. The importance of these spaces is marked with voids which funnel light into the space.

Spaces for Different Demographics Within Co-living and Co-working Glasgow the units have been designed to house three groups most vulnerable to loneliness, anxiety and depression caused by the pandemic. Single Persons, Single Parents and Families with One Dependent Child can be catered for. The modular design of the layouts means that it can be adaptable to suit the residents’ changing needs. All of the internal walls are non load bearing meaning that they can be changed or comptely removed. The structure to make this possible has been detailed further along in this document.

Spaces for Different Demographics Families with One Dependent Child have two options within Co-living and Co working Glasgow. The first gives them a single height ground storey and the other gives them a double height ground storey. This allows residents more flexibility as if their work requires vertical height ie. Sculpture they can choose the taller option.

As opposed to the previous options, families with one dependent child also have space for an office. This is important as one of the parents may have a job unrelated to the workshop and may do some from home. There is an extra bedroom which can be used for guests i.e grandparents or could be converted into a nursery or playroom etc.

Environmental Strategy [1] Deciduous Trees Maple trees have been planted within the courtyards and internal streetscapes to provide shade within the summer months. During the winter, the trees will loose their leaves allowing extra daylight to reach the building.

Summer Section:

[2] Planting & Wildflower Garden A wildflower Garden has been placed between the substation and the community hub. This will attract wildlife and add the biodiversity of the site. i.e. Lavender to attract butterflies and bees. 5

[3] Permeable surfaces A mixture of hard and soft landscaping will be used within the internal courtyard and streetscapes. This allows rainwater to be absorbed and reduce the risk of flooding.

[5] Natural Ventilation Within the live-work units there is a mixture of one-sided ventilation and stack ventilation. The stack ventilation is aided by the sculptural chimneys which are located at key points within the scheme i.e., above the kitchen, living area and communal stair cores. Fresh air will rise and become stale, therefore opening the roof lights will allow stale air to exit the building at its highest point. In addition to this, one sided ventilation is used for the shop fronts, workshop spaces, bedrooms.

Mechanical Extract Ventilation & Core

Bedroom 7

[6] Triple Glazing, Vents and Blinds Triple Glazing and trickle vents have been introduced to prevent overheating during the summer months and lessen the effects of heat loss during the winter. Blinds will also enable residents to stay cool within the summer months. [7] Mechanical Extract Ventilation Mechanical extract ventilation will be supplied within the workshop spaces, kitchen, and bathroom areas. Supplying the workshop with an extract system will ensure that the spaces are flexible for future programmes. The pipe work for this will be exposed within the workshop space however will be hidden within the kitchen and bathroom spaces.

[4] Roof Overhangs The roof overhangs and louvres have been placed within the scheme to provide shade in the summer months. Balconies also provide a buffer between direct sunlight and the windowpane. This will stop the building from overheating within the summer months. It also provides residents a sun trap if they wish.

[8] District Heating Scheme A district heating scheme will run on a biomass boiler placed within the site’s plant room. The district heating will provide a centralised source of hot water and space heating which is distributed to the live/ work units through taps, showers and radiators. The wood pellets supplied to the biomass boiler will be locally sourced to reduce the building’s carbon footprint. The process is detailed below

[9] Renewable Electricity Tariff – Glasgow Substation The co-living + co-working scheme will receive electricity from the substation next to the site. This will be on the premise that the project will be signed up to a renewable tariff. The substation has the capability to do this as it provides electricity for the east end of Glasgow.

Materials: Glulam & CLT, Buckland Timber UK grown Larch can be manufactured into straight Glulam beams at Buckland Timber in Crediton. This is the only marked manufacturer in the UK. It is calculated that when using a Glulam frame, it could save 10% of the yearly emissions when considering the average UK inhabitant (Buckland Timber(A). Sourced within the UK from Buckland Timber CLT Panels have a lower carbon emission than steel or concrete, making them an appropriate choice for this project.

K-Briq, Heriot Watt University/ Hamilton Waste & Recycling Linking back to the group masterplan & the material palette produced within the handbook, it is important that co-living & co-working Glasgow considered recycled materials. The K-briq is made of 90% recycled construction and demolition waste giving old materials a new lease of life. The materials are not kiln fired or made with cement, they are only compressed therefore reducing the carbon emissions released in the process. This concrete, brick and plasterboard reuse will also reduce the carbon footprint of co-living & co-working Glasgow further as it is produced locally in Scotland. The Scottish Government have pledged 50,000 homes will be built with this new innovate material discovered by scientists at Heriot Watt University from 2020-2023.

Heavy 3 Slate Tile, CupaGroup A traditional style of slate used in Scotland. This is an extremely durable material as it could last for over 100 years without needing to be replaced. At the end of its life, the slate tiles can be recycled and turned into a material for hydroseeding. The Heavy 3 Slate is produced locally in Scotland reducing the travel emissions incurred throughout the construction of a building.

The inner walls are non load bearing allowing the resident to alter the layout of their unit to suit their changing needs. i.e a single persons unit could become a single parents unit. It must be noted that there are two different types of load bearing elements. The main walls between units are fully load bearing as well as the front ones however, the rear walls are load bearing down to the lower level where the load is taken back to the main walls. This highlights the schemes flexibility and typological hybridity. This improvisation, authorship and ownership allows the new neighbourhood to develop their community and finish the design work.

Year 2 Semester 1: Group Urban Design Glasgow’s 15 Minute City Taking inspiration from Anne Hidalgo’s Ville De Quart De Quart D’ Heure, our 15-minute city will celebrate Glasgow’s Barras area as a destination. The Barras has had a long history operating as a successful market however it has lost traction over the years. Our aim is to regenerate this within our proposal. Our 15 Minute Market city will introduce pedestrianised streets to revitalise an area which has become disconnected through its reliance on vehicles. Stitching the site together reduces vehicular traffic to create a healthier and safer streetscape for the Barras’ residents. A central square and surrounding buildings will create places for community to gather, strengthening local ties to the Barras. Considering the wider context within our proposal, a series of three other 15-minute cities have been created with fast transport links that do not exceed 30 minutes. The cities chosen each have their own characteristics ie. Barras’ Market which encourages visitors.

Anne Hidalgo’s Ville De Quart D’Heure Using the 15-minute city as leverage for her re-election in March 2020, Hidalgo (Parisian mayor) wanted to express growing concern over the distribution of Parisian neighbourhoods. It was hoped that Ville De Quart D’Heure would stitch together disconnected communities, allowing residents to reach everything within 15 minutes by foot or bike.

A city with everything 15 minutes away Accessing everything within 15 minutes by foot or bicycle promotes a healthier lifestyle for Parisians and decreases their dependence on cars. This encourages exercise as citizens can eat, sleep and work within a convenient distance of each other. To ensure that this happens it is vital that houses are affordable, accessible and adaptable.

Reduced reliance on cars, more on bikes and public transport By 2024 Anne Hidalgo has proposed that every Parisian Street will welcome cyclists by taking away 72% of its on-street car parking spaces. Reducing vehicular traffic will ensure that Paris’ air is cleaner for its citizens and will improve their long-term health.

Pedestrianise to enhance the quality of streets Key routes in Paris including those adjacent to schools will be pedestrianised to create child friendly streets. This will help minimise the negative effects of vehicular traffic within the 15-minute city.

Location plan Hilbre Island Art and Science Centre will connect three groups including BADA (British Art and Design Association), Hilbre Bird Observatory and Friends of Hilbre on one site. The surrounding context will become the inspiration for the project, inspiring visitors with nature. Visitors will be given the choice of either an overnight or daytime membership. The overnight membership will entitle artists the opportunity to stay in a studio apartment alongside another individual creating a sense of community. The artist’s studios include a workspace which provides individuals with a private place to work. Scientists will also be given overnight facilities which will enable them to stay longer and complete relevant field research. The addition of a connecting display space will allow both groups to socialise together daily. The display space can be converted into a place for public exhibitions and workshops throughout the year.

Year 1 Semester 2: Housing Design Modular Housing District

Chosen site within the Urban Farming District Masterplan. Modular Housing District aims to continue reducing deprivation within the area through its housing. Analysing demographics profiles, the 2011 Census data has shown that throughout the site there is a high proportion of one person households. One person households account for 37% of the population. The housing project has considered the changing nature of these flexible households over time as the data could suggest that people are living on their own for longer, before co-habiting / marrying, and the increasing divorce / separation rate. Census data also highlights lone parent families as a significant group who need support. Mosular Housing District aims to do this.

Year 1 Semester 1: Group Urban Design Urban Farming District Recognising Park Hill on Mill Street as Liverpool’s first public allotment since WW2, Urban Farming District aims to celebrate the relationship between city and food. Injecting a series of green low cost, low energy interventions along Mill Street Urban Farming District will build upon this existing network. Green interventions will create jobs through growing, cooking and eating of fruit and vegetables, feeding local businesses, and creating a circular economy. Where built form is introduced, modular units will be fabricated locally within existing industrial buildings onsite creating jobs for locals, strengthening Dingle’s workforce. The existing cycle route from Otterspool to Liverpool City Centre has been celebrated alonsside pedestrianised streets to encourage healthier lifestyles away from the car. On weekends, traffic will be redirected away, leaving Mill Street free for a farmer’s market, promoting the consumption of locally sourced food.

Industrial units to be refurbished for construction of modular units, creating jobs for locals.

Locals will be able to harvest the Florrie’s home-grown fruit and vegetables and participate in cooking lessons.

How do libraries function as a civic destination?

Since the introduction of the Public Library Act in 1850, the role of the public library changed as we started to move away from the Victorian philanthropist’s initial vision for the library (Prizeman, 2011). Information gathered has shown that public libraries have always had an important civic role to play, however this significance has grown and continues to do so during the 21st century. Libraries have become an inclusive space for citizens to meet one another, socialise with one another and seek shelter. This study has investigated the library’s spatial expansion and its programmatic and societal role specifically focussing on the library as an informal meeting place. Underpinning this notion, Aabo and Audunson highlight the importance of the library as “meeting places [that spans] across cultural, ethnic, generational, and social lines in a complex and digitized society” (Aabo & Audunson, 2012, Pg. 138). This study aims to uncover how libraries function as a civic destination within their surrounding landscape. Contemporary case studies have been selected to analyse the influence that this engagement has on architectural design. The three case studies are Helsinki’s Central Library Oodi by ALA Architects, Calgary Central Library by Snohetta and New Halifax Central Library by Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects. These award-winning studies have been selected for a comparative analysis based on the architect’s aim to deliberately interweave the project within the surrounding fabric and address the issue of civic engagement within the library. Using a framework that has been devised from the research for this study, it is important that this study analyses and appraises each building’s connection to the surrounding public realm as well as the impact of programme and spatial configuration on visitors.
