Ablution – Marseille Bathhouse

A bathhouse is experienced not just through the sense of vision but also through the senses of touch, smell, taste and sound. As a result of globalization, our cities have become locus points for the production of ideas. There is a need, and an opportunity now to rethink and reintroduce the public bathhouse in the contemporary urban city, and bathhouse is a ripe typology for invention and interpretation when considered against the trend of exclusive spas.

Communitas Baths

Marseilles is a city that is experiencing an economic polarisation. This polarisation of wealth is exemplified when analysing the dissimilarity of vast leisure amenities available in the south, compared to the northern areas of the city. To rebalance the distribution of provisions, a Redeveloped 10km boulevard, acting as a new spine of transport and activity through the heart of Marseilles, will conclude in the north with three new major urban magnets. Focusing on one of these magnets, the Bath house, this CDP strives to demonstrate a contemporary adaptation architecture, providing leisure and sporting opportunities whilst retaining evidence of former industrial activity. Situated in between the Mediterranean master plan and the exiting locals, the Baths aims to become a new community lynch pin, breaking down social barriers by creating a sense of Communitas.

Marseille Bath House

The project aims to draw on the aspirational uses of water to incorporate the relaxation, emotion and mental well-being with physical recuperation. The architectural ambition derives from the poetics of the space. To fully engage with architecture on a physical and mental level involves interaction between the light, materiality and environment to create atmosphere. The main aim was to actualise a building that stimulates the senses and offer a more intimate connection to the surroundings.

Project

My Contextual Design Project gives a study into sport architecture within a historical context. Most new sports architecture developments are new build for purpose rather than adapting an existing historical building with all the character. This project brings in different aspects of architecture with one being how to address the listed building. This project will provide a way of addressing conservation architecture in a more brutal and radical approach along with providing new sports facilities for people who suffer with disability or illness.

Project

The objective of the project was to create a repository in which different and valuable architectural artefacts from the city could be displayed to entice and engage the public, allowing them to understand the evolution and historical significance of the City of Liverpool. The most significant part of the project concerned the new facade, suspended above ground level it created an envelope around the building, reinforcing the conceptual theory of protecting and encasing an artefact while also absorbing visitors into the theatrics of the scheme allowing it to reveal itself as a deconstructed object.

Project & Bio

I am a former Soldier of the British Army and am seeking to enhance my practical construction knowledge through the study of Architecture. The 1% seeks to explore both the separation and inequality generated through the current global wealth distribution by the design and development of a hotel set in the future where Liverpool Waters has changed the physical and economical landscape of the dock area.

Liverpool Film Studios & Institute

The architecture of the facility is an explorative and didactic one, capturing the principles of the layers that make up film, filming techniques and angles, as well as the use of light and shadow in space and the techniques of making and using scenography for the needs of a scene. The building stages and different conditions will allow the student to understand and explore a great measure of different conditions such as the 7 elements of filmmaking, that are best understood naturally through experience.

The focus of the design proposal is to create a much needed cultural and religious outlet for north Marseille. The scheme offers a radical development consisting of three religious establishments located on the same site, which in turn is shared with a series of secular buildings. The project aims to display a physical representation of the cohesive cosmopolitan ideology for the new North Marseille.

Project & Biography

I was a part one graduate of Liverpool John Moores School of Architecture where I achieved a first class BA (Hons) and nominated for a RIBA President’s Bronze Medal in 2010. This project seeks to distance ‘self’ from the design process. Marcel Duchamp was quoted saying, “I force myself to contradict myself in order to in order to avoid conforming to my own taste.” I have worked for a number of architectural offices in Merseyside over a variety of sectors including residential, commercial, religious and master planning. I have been a partner in an architectural design practice, ArchiPhonic, since 2012.

Interior Perspective

As the tenets of sustainability grow from the over-simplified ideas of energy efficiency and embodied energy calculations to the complexities of whole life-cycle costing and carbon offsetting, a need for closed-loop, holistic systems of energy use and recycling - and a focus on not only the physical, but psychological aspects of sustainability has become clear. The Botanical Cemetery aims to become a Holistic Architecture, whereby our own cycles of life and death are entwined with the energy cycles of nature, and thus reconnect our bodies, and our psyches, with the natural world.

Project & Biography

Key design aim for the proposed Town Hall is to create an iconic building, not in an obvious and ostentatious manner, but expressed through a real integrated and memorable architectural manifesto. The intention is for the design to be prominent and identifiable icon within the urban landscape, imprinted with unique character and integral part of the local activities. The design is intended to become Vauxhall’s natural gathering point, where the traditions of democracy are united with a vision of a dynamic meeting place for politics as well as for social and cultural events.

Arts | Performances | Production - Centre

The CDP project is an innovative centre for performance arts, addressing an experimental theatre with two different audiences. These audiences are a studio theatre and a gallery theatre sharing the same stage. It will also include rehearsal, dancing and singing studios where artists can practice. The scheme has scenery and costume workshops, and also providing accommodations for artists that needs to be performing within the building or in the wide range of Liverpool theatres.

Where We All Belong, Marseille

I have taken the theme of journeying, both metaphorically and literally, to shape the form of the structures. The title ‘Where We All Belong’ refers to the idea that this building will become a place for musicians and creatives to meet, collaborate and escape, a form of cultural retreat within the city. In the course of a musical event there are two journeys running in parallel; that of the artist and that of the audience. The building attempts to cater for every stage of this journey from instrument shops and practice spaces to recording studios and performance venues.

Marseille Balnae

Marseille Balnae has taken inspiration from Roman and French bathing traditions throughout history. The ritual of opening and closing pores runs through both of these traditions. The ritual of this bathhouse is emphasised through varying degrees of permeability of skin that correlates with the temperature as well as the height of each stage of the process.

The Politics of Space - Town Hall

The Town Hall is an edge intervention and gateway to the Archipelago. It is a political space with a spiritual edge, holding room for public debates and political discussions as well as a spiritual sanctuary for the islands residents. The town hall is of a clustered organisation based on systems of hierarchy with an inter linked common chamber space. The more important the function, the higher this space, creating a series of juxtaposed blocks on top of one another which are balanced each by individual towers. The building celebrates the importance of the ceremonial route, which creates a journey of compressed and expansive spaces with viewpoints along the journey.

Intermodal Gateway

As part of the first phase of the Liverpool_ Connect masterplan the Intermodal Gateway would bring transport connections to the site from around the city, providing a new trainstation along the Northern Line As a ‘gateway’ for the surrounding area and masterplan, providing a focal point of the community the station would also incorporate a cultural gallery and retail and leisure space providing cafés and shops usually found within a transport exchange. This area would connect out to the pedestrian route leading to the Liverpool Waterfront park providing a sheltered indoor/ outdoor experience for pedestrians.

Vie Collective

Social housing in Marseille. Taking inspiration from Le Corbusier’s Unite d’Habitation. Vie Collective is a social housing block with a modern take on communal living and the architectural flexibility to meet the social flexibility of resident’s lives. Its arrival in Marseille will create an impact radius that will revitalise and regenerate the surrounding area.

The Knowledge Centre, Marseille

‘Learn as if you were to live forever.’ - Mahatma Gandhi. The multiracial community is the core of the project, it is aimed for three goals which are to fulfil the needs, to strengthen the community bond and thus reduce the social and crime problems. The scheme of the project is to provide a space for reading, learning and sharing knowledge; and also by involving the community can create a sense of ownership to the area.

Project

A cultural mixed use building, the agora of the island masterplan from the archipelago of North Marseille acts as an anchor point and a symbol of culture offering a library, theatre, studio/community hall, rehearsal/education hall, workshop incubator and studios to set up local businesses along with public use gallery spaces. The building for the North aims to draw the disenfranchised youth, the unemployed and the fragmented communities out their subculture created in this part of the city and instead reintegrate those into a new culture of education, expression through arts and working society.

Denizon Migrants

Denizon migrants, both documented and undocumented, operate from a cultural, economic or legal periphery from which they cannot take access to urban and natural resources for granted. As it stands, documented migrants lucky enough to be offered housing are usually placed in dilapidated peripheral enclaves to hide them from the city. The project aimed to design a urban factory typology that, through a diverse program and opportunities for self-sufficiency, addresses issues of integration,visibility and the precarious nature of employment amongst Marseilles migrant population. We seek to make the migrant community and their labour visible within the city, and to create a third condition between exception and assimilation, one in which the migrant is granted both a right to be a stranger and the right to place and home. To help them establish their identity within contemporary Marseille.

Project

The project sits within the troubled social, economic and political landscape of Marseille, whereby the inequities of our western world are so strongly epitomised in the city’s North – South divide. Without the right to vote many residents of the neglected Northern districts exist upon the fringes of society and this project assumes a radical social change in response to this existing condition. The building provides a voice for those currently without means to fight for their needs, combining a range of egalitarian uses with functional governmental spaces all within a landmark structure representing a new age of democracy for all in Marseille.

Project

A masterplan for a northern, impoverished district of Marseille was devised to break down issues of polarity and conflict between northern and southern communities addressing factors of social exclusion. This was through the redistribution and creation of new political, social and economical realms to reinstate the balance and grant for-granted communities access to these facilities. A lack of jobs, education and skill has detached the local population of Parc Bellevue from the common narrative of the city. The Craft Centre provides a new artistic hub within the city incorporating makers studios, artist residencies, galleries, public workshops and craft outlets.
