DESIGN PROJECT 2020 Porƞolio Aaminah Pathan 1

BUILDING USES DIAGRAM The area is seen to be filled with accomodation, landmarks, businesses and civic buildings. This informed my decision to choose this site between the two choices given, as the princes parade holds a more civic nature whilst also reflecting Liverpool’s beautiful history withn the three graces.

MAIN ROUTES Main roads to and from the site have been drawn within the thicker red lines to show the busier nature of the roads, which then lead to lesser populated roads towards the dock which could possibly provide for access points in my design.

PEDESTRIAN ROUTES Initial routes for pedestrians were outlined to explore main points of access.

ADDITIONAL ROUTES Along with the pedestrian routes shown, an additional pedestrian route acting as a potential side street is proposed to be introduced to allow for further circulation space and ease of access in and out of the site.

RIVERSIDE STATION THE RIVERSIDE STATION SURROUNDING THE SITE IS APPARENT IN BOTH PLANS ORIGINALLY OPENING IN 1895. THE STATION INTERRUPTS THE SITE IN BOTH PLANS, HENCE WE CAN SEE THAT IT WAS INITIALLY USED AS A TRANSPORT HUB FOR THE CITY CENTRE WITH SURROUNDING AREA USED FOR DEPOTS, MARINE OFFICES AND RECEIVING HOUSES.

A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE SEEN FROM THE 20’S, 50’S PLANS IS THAT THE PRINCES DOCK WHICH WAS EXTENDED TO THE RIGHT OF THE SITE HAS NOW DECREASED IN SIZE AND ONLY FILLS TO THE EDGE OF THE SITE. RIVERSIDE STATION HAD BEEN DEMOLISHED IN 1971, HENCE IT IS NOT PRESENT WITHIN THE PLAN. THE ONLY MAJOR DIFFERENCE FROM THE 90’S TO TODAY IS THAT THERE HAS BEEN A CLEAR ROUTE INTRODUCED WITHIN THE SITE TO HELP TRANSPORT GOODS TO AND FROM THE LANDING STAGE TERMINAL MORE EFFICIENTLY.

THREE FORMS

ROTATION

After researching the National Congress Building in Brazil, I admired the simplistic design and the manipulation of domes to create a minimalistic but strong design. Hence i started with three dome shapes, each symbolising a chamber.

A clear structure was necessary within the boundaries of the site, also, given the dimensions of the area, it proved to be fruitful to rotate the forms to allow for the area around to be used for other purposes without disruption; this would allows for views to the dock aswell.

RECTANGULAR ADDITION

BLOCK ROTATION + SOCIAL SPACE

Within parliament buildings, it often is necessary to accomodate for the offices of the elected members, henceforth another form spanning the entire site was introduced to house 50 offices.

After studying various precedents, the idea of a demonstration area, or area for communal gathering was intended for this project, as currently the only area used for demonstration is situated near St Georges Place, my design would facilitate for the public wanting to demonstrate in an area which would prove most successful for them.

ADJUSTMENTS

WALKWAY AROUND CHAMBER

As the design has developed, heights for buildings were determined : the office block would be four storeys (before further changes), the ground floor sitting at a height of 4m, with the other three floors at 3m, whereas the main debating chamber would sit at 8m above ground.

A plinth was introduced into the design as a means for further circulation around the forms, connecting the two buildings together, if my aim was to mend the relationship between the elected and public also, this would act as a means for joining both worlds together.

CURVED WALKWAY The rolex learning centre by sanaa was studied for this stage of my conceptual development, i was intrigued with the curvature of the building, how it would allow for the curves within the upturned dome to be explored and flow through to a rectangular form, reflecting the natures of the building types ; informal to a more loose space where people of both worlds can join to voice their opinions.

ADJUSTMENTS As the site is unaffected by shadows, as illustrated in my sun study, it was important to allow for a means where light can penetrate through the building also reducing the use of aritficial lighting in my building where possible ; the space was elevated by 4m, housing various spaces within the designated voids. 2020 Porƞolio Aaminah Pathan 7

Her the 4 square pages have a 2mm ga between each image.The 3 square per page images have 3mm ga between images, and the centrefold gap is always 3mm. This keeps a page margins the same to all pages This is font size 9, and the text i ‘JusƟfied’ to give a neat right side.

The site analysis shown to the right showcases the site location which is within otterspool promenade. It was important to analyse the environmental conditions like the amount of daylight which would showcase onto the area - in the east to westerly direction.

My chosen theme to base the project around had been wind, trying to utilise the natural resources found wihtin the atmosphere.

The wind arrives in from the south westerly direction, hence it was importatn for me to think carefully about the orientation of the building to maximise airflow within the building. The routes diagram carefully illustrates pedestrian routes in pink, and car routes in grey.

The aim of the sustainability project has been to create a welcoming environment in which people can be educated about the surrounding area; utilising liverpools windy climate to ventilate the building naturally whilst allowing for visitors to have a sensory experience of wind whilst visiting.

The main space being the kite space, is the only space which has not been enclosed, to maximise the windflow within the two brick planes, allowing for a space which is far more dramatic in experience whilst flying kites in comparison to the other spaces. The kite space is intended to be a space that helps visitors of all ages feel welcomed in the space, allowing for a measn of social interaction too.

This text column is 64mm wide, repeaƟng width from the 3 square format.This page format allows placement of any ‘A’ format page in landscape, the yellow box being an actual A4 page size. Again this leaves a potenƟally unusual blank strip here, and as in previous pages a careful approach to using these bands should be considered.

After analysing the site, focus was upon the surrounding areas of the site (everton park) where schools were situated - a world within a world was the main idea inspired by michael foucalt’s interpretation of libraries being ‘heterotopia’ .
