Portfolio 2022 Master of Architecture

ABOUT ME My interest in the impact design has on the interaction between people and space has always intrigued me. I have been a pragmatic thinker from a young age who thrives off of logical solutions; by enrolling in an Architecture programme I have been able to express my creative side and hone my designs into something tangible. Throughout my studies I have developed an appreciation for the relationship created between space and people, yet always placing function at the centre of any design. The ongoing issues of environmental change and social reform policies have always taken a front seat in my designs. The focus on the user and impact on local area has been carefully considered within each project I have completed. I have been studying architecture at LJMU since 2017, completing my BA in 2020, and my MArch in 2022. During the pandemic I chose to further my training by enrolling in the masters programme to continue my studies. I felt by doing this I would demonstrate my work ethic and desire to push myself, instead of missing out on part one opportunities limited by the pandemic. But during this time I reached out to local practices to partake in work experience enabling me to start my MArch with a basic knowledge of architectural practice outside of a BA. This portfolio showcases a collection of work completed throughout the two years of my MArch. The 3 projects include my thesis project, a master-planning group project and a large scale housing project. Work included in this portfolio is taken from both years of my MArch.

VERTICAL CITY OF MUSIC

PROJECT TYPE: Music Venue / Mix-used SITE LOCATION: Glasgow PROJECT DURATION: January 2022 - May 2022 SOFTWARE USED: AutoCAD, Sketch-up, Illustrator, Photoshop, Lumion

ABSTRACT Glasgow is a historical trade city in the west of Scotland and is the largest city in the country. In the late 20th century, the ship building industry collapsed leaving the city on it’s knees. In the 1990’s Glasgow became a hub for creativity post being made the European capital of culture. By 2008 the music industry in the city was booming leading to Glasgow becoming a UNESCO city of music the first of it’s kind in the UK, as part of this title the city needs to remain iconic. During the pandemic all live performances had to stop over night reducing artists income by 30%. This thesis explores how music can be contained vertically and is a place for all to perform no matter the size of artist, with studio’s available and multiple stages stacked into a small footprint this thesis shows why Glasgow is the city of music. The location of the thesis makes use of an abandoned Victorian railway that harshly created a barrier between the city centre and the east end of Glasgow, this has been softened by the design being placed either side of the railway finally bridging these long-lost sides of the city.

THESIS PROJECT JACOB YATES

pap a m m i i g g i i DD ABSTRACT

Site 1890

Site 1980

The train station closed in 1966 with the hotel closing shortly. This was due to the close proximity to the larger Glasgow Central station. All services that ran through St Enoch were rerouted to Glasgow Central. The train station along with the elevated tracks were then demolished in 1977. In 1989 the site of train station was built on and is now the St Enoch Shopping Centre. The area of the elevated railways have been left untouched to this day and the site is currently used as a car park. The subway station is still being used today and is situated to the west of the shopping centre.

St Enoch train station was built in 1876 and was a link from Glasgow to London St Pancras. By 1879 a hotel was built on top of the station that included 200 rooms making it the largest railway hotel in the city. An underground station was also opened in 1896 connecting the mainline station to an extensive subway network.

Glasgow is famed for it’s music so much so that in 2008 the city became the first UNESCO CITY OF MUSIC in the UK. “The award recognises THE RICH MUSICAL HERITAGE OF THE CITY, and is designed to encourage COLLABORATIONS ACROSS GLASGOW’S MUSIC SCENE – between performers, music organisations, festivals, promoters, schools and colleges.” By being a city of music Glasgow has to remain; Sep 29, 2021 15:11 iconic, knowledgeable, accessible, supportive, representative, promotional and unique. “Glasgow as a city continues to blaze a trail 1000 m 900 in exploring the possibilities of MUSIC AS AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR URBAN REGENERATION, improving quality of life and personal development.”

To understand the musical heritage of Glasgow it is key to research some of the current music venue’s from the city. This will give a greater understanding of the size, opening times and capacities of these venues. The venue’s that will be discussed vary in size and include, King Tuts, Sponsorship Barrowlands Ballroom and the OVO Hydro Arena

FORM FINDING SKETCHES

FUN PALACE

POMPIDOU CENTRE

Fun Palace was designed in 1964 by British architect Cedric Price and Joan Littlewood who was a theatre producer. It was not a building in the conventional sense as it was never built, but the idea was that the building would shift forms to it’s needs. A concept of an INTERACTIVE PERFORMATIVE ARCHITECTURE, adaptable to the varying needs of the individual. The environment could be changed by the use of cranes and prefabricated modules in an improvisational architecture.

Built in 1977 designed by Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano. This gallery in Paris brings This building is designed by OMA and located in Manchester. The building is due to open the circulation, structure and services to the exterior of the building, leaving the interior later in the year of 2022. The factories site has many similarities to the site in Glasgow as untouched. In doing so the building can easily be changed to suit any needs making it is set next to a body of river and adjacent to a disused railway. The building is a flagship it a purely uninterrupted space, this is also helped by it’s simple orthogonal form. The cultural venue for Manchester. OMA designed ‘the factory’ to be ultra-flexible, enabling complexity in the building is from it’s exo-skeleton structure that allows the simple ‘large-scale artistic work of invention and ambition. interior.

CASA DA MUSICA Designed by OMA this music centre is located in Poroto and was completed in 2005. It has a distinctive faceted form, made of white concrete. Inside, the elevated 1,300-seat (shoe box-shaped) Grand Auditorium has corrugated glass façades at either end that open the hall to the city and offer Porto itself as a dramatic backdrop for performances. Casa da Musica reveals its contents without being didactic; at the same time, it casts the city in a new light.

The key strategy to the building’s structure is to be wide spanning. As the buildings function is a music venue, uninterrupted view’s are needed meaning the building has to be column free. To achieve this the steel beams have to increase in depth. Using span /20 the depth of the beams in the design are 3m. These beams are the super structure for the building and support the large spans of the music venue’s. The primary and secondary beams are highlighted to the right.

ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY

WINTER ENVIRONMENTAL SECTION 1:250

The main goal of the building’s environmental strategy is to passively cool the venue spaces through the use of a double skin facade.

1. [DOUBLE SKIN FACADE] The facade faces to the south as this is where the most sunlight is available in the building. It acts as a 4

solar chimney with heat rising out of the building due to vents that can open at the top. In winter the chimney heats up and is closed off to the outside but exposed internally helping to passively heat the building.

2. [PHOTO VOLTAIC PANELS] PV panels have been used to on the south facade as well as the roof to provide energy for the building

and also to heat water in the building. When the power is not needed it is stored in a battery or taken back to the national grid. The national grid in Scotland comes from 97% renewable sources, 70% of this is from wind energy.

2 2

3. [ROOF GARDEN] To increase bio-diversity in the area the design has introduced a roof garden. Due to the structural capabilities of the 7

building, trees are able to be planted on the roof.

4. [RETAINED STRUCTURE] A key part of the master-plan was to retain a mile long dis-used railway and turn it into a public path. The underneath of this railway has been re-used and the design has reduced it’s embodied energy by retaining pre-existing structures.

5. [RAIN WATER HARVESTING] An underground tank stores rainwater that is collected and is used in the building to water wildlife and flush toilets.

6. [COMBINED HEAT AND POWER SYSTEM] aster- Due to the high energy needed for the building as well as it’s constant use a CHP unit is needed. This unit 75% efficient compared to a standard boiler that is 50% efficient.

7. [HEAT RECOVERY] Instead of just extracting air and replacing it with the air from outside the heat recovery system draws heat from

the extracted air and passes it to the air that is being filtered from the outside. This system increases the efficiency of the building by reusing warm air that is already in the building.

PUBLIC SQUARE - The impact on the square is shown in this view. Being the tallest building in the area causes a large impact at street level, this has been softened by lifting the design above the “high-line” creating more public space underneath the building

5,000 CAPACITY VENUE - This venue is the key space to the scheme, being the largest in the scheme. The main lights hang from

the ceiling and can be moved into multiple different positions giving artists an additional feature to make use of. When not used as a venue it can be a conference space, or a cinema this would reduce the capacity due to people standing.

LOBBY - This space is the entrance to the large venue and can be transformed into multiple different configurations as a bar this large

will not be needed during the day. A key part of this space is the connection between the venue and the lobby with the material of the venue carrying through.

POP-UP KITCHENS - The pop-up kitchens are an area that connect the “high-line” to the rest of the scheme and act as a break out space to the public walkway.

GSW HEADQUARTERS This building was designed by Sauerbruch and Hutton and is located in Berlin, it was completed in 1999. This building uses a dual skin facade and the west facade of the building acts as a solar flue drawing air up and out utilizing automated top and bottom control flaps to provide seasonal and weather control. This technique has achieved 30% - 40% energy savings in total. Due to the cross ventilation created by the flue effect mechanical ventilation is no longer required 70% of the year.

ABSTRACT The Glasgow Mile aims to strengthen and emphasise the existing cultural heritage of the city. This is achieved by connecting existing cultural buildings such as the O2 Academy, The Brigate and the citizens theatre along with new cultural buildings such as Galleries, comedy stops, performance schools and venues. The connection is made via a highline which occupies a disused railway a piece of infrastructure that frequently scars the hearts of cities when no longer required. The high-line interacts with ground level utilizing existing adjacent buildings and stairs/lifts at appropriate places. While promoting active travel the high-line uses existing rails to transform suiting either seasonal event such as a Christmas market or one time events such as TRNSMT Festival or the Glasgow mile.

WALKWAY DEVELOPMENT THE CITY OF CULTURE In 1990 Glasgow became the cultural capital of Europe the first in the UK. Over the course of the event 8.3 million people visited the city and saw a 32% jump in theatre/concert performances and a 40% percent jump in attendance at theatres, halls, museums

and galleries. The city proved that cultural and arts led regeneration can work. Thirty plus years later Glasgow is home to over 100 cultural organisations and in 2019 was listed as a top creative and cultural hub in the UK by the European commission.

THE CITY OF MUSIC By 2008 Glasgow was recognised as a UNESCO city of music another first of its kind in the UK. “The award recognises the rich musical heritage of the city. By being a city of music Glasgow has to remain; iconic, knowledgeable, accessible, supportive,

representative, promotional and unique. “Glasgow as a city continues to blaze a trail in exploring the possibilities of music as an essential tool for urban regeneration, improving quality of life and personal development.”

NEW YORK HIGHLINE

VICTORIA STREET, EDINBURGH

A 1.4 mile linear park that makes use of an abandoned railway in New York. This areal garden was designed by James Corner Field Operations, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, and Piet Oudolf and completed in 2009 with phases opening after. There are plenty of places to hop on and off the line and the garden helps to increase bio-diversity in one of the most densest cities in the world.

Victoria Street is one of Edinburgh’s most recognisable and picturesque locations, its elegant curve graced by a series of colourful shop fronts, making it a favourite choice of filmmakers and photograph enthusiasts alike. Constructed between 1829 and 1834, Victoria Street was one of several major improvements to the Old Town, designed to improve access around the city; previously, the only way to access the Lawnmarket and Edinburgh Castle from the Grassmarket was via an awkward and steep passageway. While Victoria Street relates to our project with the aim of improving pedestrian access through the city it also shows the effectiveness and interaction of dual height street fronts.

Jacob Yates - The Glasgow Mile

SUPERKILEN PARK Located in Copenhagen and designed by BIG this park has a mixture of intimate and large spaces across the linear area. Completed in 2012 this park represents the different communities that live in the surrounding district by having an item from each country. It uses a mixture of hard and soft spaces and includes fast ways to actively travel by having a dedicated cycle lane that feels safe due to it not being near any cars.

THE GLASS HOUSE ARCHITECTURE THAT FEEDS

PROJECT TYPE: Social Housing SITE LOCATION: Liverpool (Dingle) PROJECT DURATION: February 2021 - May 2021 SOFTWARE USED: AutoCAD, Sketch-up, Illustrator, Photoshop, V-ray

Jacob Yates - The Glass House

ABSTRACT Dingle is located approximately 1.5 miles outside of Liverpool city centre. This suburb of the city is slightly deprived with the average wage in the area being 53% LOWER THAN THE UK AVERAGE. Dingle has an UNEMPLOYMENT RATE OF 35% has meaning that any programme needs to help employment in the area as well as cost of living. With low average wage and high unemployment rates there is a need for more affordable social housing in the area. At a point in time where food banks are being used by medium income families regularly, housing should help to provide food for the community. A key part of this development was to use the gable ends of the houses TO GROW AND SHARE FOOD therefore increasing the community feel. The building is wrapped in a glass clad that acts as a green house to help naturally heat the terraces and allow for food growth all year round. This project looks to decrease the amount of money spent for basic goods for the lowest income families in Liverpool.

Corn Street Above is an example of Dingles terraced streets with the footprint of the terrace being 5m by 15m with a total area of 75m2. The form of the design will be based on a 6m by 10m plot to be of a similar scale to the context.

To modernise the terraces the gable ends will provide food, storage and increase social interactions throughout the development. As traditional gable ends are often subject to lifelessness.

Back to back housing is key to a Victorian terrace as this increases the density of the area allowing creating more homes. A problem with this technique is that outside space is hard to come by. To increase outdoor space a roof garden could be introduced. In this case the roof garden is split in two with a summer and which will allow the outside space to be used all year round. 28

The chimney was originally key to heating Victorian terraces but in this case it is key to cooling them by causing stack ventilation allowing heat to escape. The chimney will also disperse sunlight throughout the properties being a key feature of the home.

PROGRAM - Architecture that feeds, employs and is affordable.

-53%

L8’s average income is 53% less than the UK average. How can we bridge the gap to create a larger disposable income for Dingle? UK Average Annual Income £38,600 (ONS, 2020)

L8 Average Annual Income £20,800 (postcodearea)

35%

Of L8 is unemployed With low average wage and high unemployment rates there is a need for more affordable social housing in the area. The development will be specifically for local families in the area. Unemployed 35% (Including Students) Employed 65%

The program allows for people to have a larger disposable income by having the ability to grow food for consumption. It also allows people to eat communally to save money as well as increase interactions leading to a close knit neighbourhood.

Communal eating/meals

Growth of food

Unemployed residents will be given the opportunity to maintain the food production and will be employed by the local council. The Glass House - Jacob Yates

MASTER-PLAN The master plan gives functions to the gable ends creating a high street effect with smaller streets being purely for residential purposes. The terraces create an edge to the street and are orientated east west with the houses being entered to from the east.
