HISTORICAL ANALYSIS
ROMAN/MEDIEVAL WALLED AREA MEDIEVAL VILLAGES TO 1830 TO 1914 TO 1939 TO 1970 AFTER 1970 LEICESTER PRINCIPAL URBAN AREA CITY BOUNDARY
EXCAVATED CEMETRY AREAS RECORDED INHUMATION BURIAL RECORDED CREMATION BURIAL RECORDED MOSAICS
The town was sited at an important river crossing along the Fosse Way, a major Roman road which linked Lincoln to the north-east with Exeter to the south-west. After the Roman conquest of Britain in CE 43, a fort housing a small military garrison was possibly established at Leicester, or Ratae as it was known to the Romans. Roman occupation seems to have first developed as a continuation of the existing Iron Age settlement and the remains of timber buildings and streets of the period have been found on excavations across the city.

IT IS EVIDENT FROM THE GROWTH OF THE STUDENT POPULATION IN LEICESTER THAT THE ARTS CENTRE MUST BE SUITABLE FOR A YOUNGER AUDIENCE AS WELL. THE ARTS CENTRE SHOULD BE AN AREA FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN AND ALSO BE CREATIVE.

PARAMETRIC ROOF ENTRY PORTAL PIERCE THROUGH THE STRUCTURE
PARAMETRIC TRIANGULAR PANELS EXPERIMENTATION The panels are modular and be broken down into segments.The parametric shape of the panels would break the flatness of the facade.
PARAMETRCIC ROOF EXPERIMENTATION
SIMPLIFIED PARAMETRIC ROOF LED SCREENS THAT DISPLAY ART ENTRY PORTAL PIERCE THROUGH THE MAIN STRUCTURE
This roof s “umbrella like” in the sense that it provides protection from the elements but also slightly hovers on top of the building which means it can be easily dismantled when the Arts Centre needs to be transported.
PARAMETRCIC ROOF EXPERIMENTATION
ORGANIC PARAMETRIC ROOF STEEL ROD BRACING ENTRY PORTAL MADE OUT SAME TRIANGULAR ROOF PANELS
The entry portals are a continuation of the existing brick arches. They are also made up from the same triangular panels that the roof is made out of to seamlessly blend them together.
GROUND FLOOR PLAN DELEVOPMENT
ISSUES: AUDITORIUM SPACE HAD ODD JUNCTIONS WITH THE EXTERNAL SKIN OFFICE SPACE HAD ODD JUNCTIONS WITH THE EXTERNAL SKIN
GROUND FLOOR PLAN DELEVOPMENT
SOLUTIONS: THE SPACE AROUND THE AUDITORIUM IS SUFFICIENT FOR PEOPLE TO WALK AROUND IT THE OFFICE IS SET BACK FROM THE ENTRANCE TO CREATE MULTIPLE AREAS FOR ART INSTALLATIONS SCALE OF THE BUILDING DOESN’T JUSTIFY THE USE OF ESCALATORS ADDITIONAL ENTRANCE
EXISTING SITE CONSTRAINTS IMPROVING CIRCULATION AND REESTABLISHING THE LOST CONNECTION WITH THE RIVER SOAR
OLD RIVER SOAR
EXISTING BRIDGE IMPROVED CIRCULATION BY CONNECTING THE SITE TO ITS SURROUDINGS WITH THE USE OF A BRIDGE
CIRCULATION GRIDS IMPROVING CIRCULATION THROUGH AND ON THE VIADUCT
MAIN CIRCULATION ON THE GROUND FLOOR IS UNDER AND THROUGH THE BRIDGE WHERE AS CIRCULATION ON THE FIRST FLOOR FOLLOWS THE FLOW OF THE BRIDGE LENGTHWISE
CIRCULATION GRIDS
CIRCULATION MAKING THE CIRCULATION MORE DEFINITIVE
ALUMINIUM ARCHED ELEMENTS
IMPROVED CIRCULATION TROUGH THE ARCHES WHICH WILL BE RECONVERTED TO VIEWING GALLERIES. OLD RIVER SOAR
VIADUCT GREEN SPACE RENNOVATING THE EXISTING VIADUCT INTO A ROOFTOP GARDEN
OLD RIVER SOAR
EXISTING GREENERY AND RENNOVATED GARDEN SPACE ON TOP OF THE VIADUCT. THIS INTERVENTION AIMS TO CREATE MORE GREEN SPACES IN CENTRAL LEICESTER.
MODULAR SPACES INTRODUCTION OF INTERIOR SPACES THAT SIT WITHIN THE CIRCULATION GRID
OLD RIVER SOAR
MODULAR SPACES ARE INDEPENDENT STRUCTURES AND DONT RELY ON OTHER ANY STRUCTURE. BECAUSE OF THIS THE MODULES CAN BE EASILY BE TAKEN AWAY AND TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER SITE.
BUILDING WITHIN A BUILDING ARCHES PIERCE TROUGH THE SKIN TO CREATE MULTIPLE ENTRY PORTALS
OLD RIVER SOAR
EXTERNAL SKIN WITH CUTOUTS FOR ENTRY PORTALS

BUILDING WITHIN A BUILDING EXPERIMENTATION WITH DIFFERENT EXTERNAL SKINS AND MATERIALS TO WRAP AROUND THE EXISTING VIADUCT AND MODULAR SPACES
OLD RIVER SOAR
THE EXTERNAL SKIN WRAPS AROUND THE EXISTING VIADUCT AND MODULAR SPACES TO CREATE A SEALED WEATHERPROOF ENVIRONMENT.
INTERACTIVE SKIN LED SCREENS DISPLAYS ART AT NIGHT IN AN INTERACTIVE AND FUTURISTIC FASHION
OLD RIVER SOAR
LED SCREEN THAT WRAPS AROUND THE WHOLE BUILDING CREATING A LONG STRIP WHERE THE ART CAN BE DISPLAYED AT NIGHT.
PARAMETRIC ROOF THE ROOF ACTS AS AN UMBRELLA BECAUSE IT PROTECTS THE INTERIOR FROM THE ELEMENTS BUT SEEMS TO BE HOVERING ON TOP OF THE STRUCTURE.
OLD RIVER SOAR
PARAMETRIC ROOF MADE OUT OF MODULAR TRIANGULAR PANELS. REFER TO MANUAL No 2 FOR JOINT DETAILS.
MODEL EXPERIMENTATION MATERIAL : 2MM ACRYLIC TOOLS : HEAT GUN MOULD : -
ISSUES : THE FINAL SHAPE DIDN’T MOULD PERFECTLY TO THE DESIRED SHAPE AND LACKED IN FLUIDITY
MODEL EXPERIMENTATION MATERIAL : 3MM ACRYLIC TOOLS : HEAT GUN MOULD : BLUE FOAM
ISSUES : THE SHAPE WAS A LOT MORE FLUID AND ORGANIC BUT BECAUSE IT WAS MOULDED USING A BLUE FOAM MOULD IT MELTED AND THE MOULD COULD’NT BE RETRIEVED. THIS MEANT THE MOULD COULDN’T BE USED MULTIPLE TIMES.

ISSUES : THE SHAPE WAS A LOT MORE FLUID AND ORGANIC BUT BECAUSE IT WAS MOULDED USING A BLUE FOAM MOULD IT MELTED AND THE MOULD COULD’NT BE RETRIEVED. THIS MEANT THE MOULD COULDN’T BE USED MULTIPLE TIMES AND ALSO THE INITIAL MOULD SHAPE COULD HAVE BEEN MORE ORGANIC
MODEL EXPERIMENTATION MATERIAL : 3MM ACRYLIC THAT HAD BEEN LASER CUT TOOLS : VACUUM FORMER & HEAT GUN MOULD : 6MM MDF LASER CUT MOULD WITH CLAY ON TOP MAKE IT SMOOTH
DIGITAL MODELING OF THE ROOF
THE PHYSICAL MODEL WAS QUITE FLUID BUT WITH THE HELP OF THE COMPUTER THE FORM WAS REDEFINED AND SMOOTHED OUT TO CREATE ONEORGANIC FORM. HIGLIGHTED IN RED ARE THE AREAS THAT WERE RESOLVED WITH THE USE OF THE COMPUTER.
DIGITAL MODELING OF THE ROOF DEVELOPMENT OF THE FINAL FORM WHICH WILL HOVER ON TOP OF THE VIADUCT
THE FABRIC HAD TO THEN BE DIVIDEN IN INDIVIVUAL IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THE FORM IS MODULAR AND TRANSPORTABLE. THE FORM WAS DIVIDED INTO INDIVIDUAL TRIANGULAR PANELS WHICH CAN BE BROKEN DOWN TO INDIVIDUAL OR BIGGER CHUNKS DEPENDING ON WHAT FITS BEHIND A TRUCK.

CROSS BRACING DETAIL
CROSS BRACING WILL BE USED ON THE MAIN STRUCTURAL FRAME FOR STRUCTURAL REASONS BUT ALSO DECORATIVE REASONS
STRUCTURAL FRAME JOINT DETAIL
STRUCTURAL STEEL FRAMING IS TYPICALLY DESIGNED, FABRICATED AND ERECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH STANDARDS. WITH THE USE OF A STEEL FRAME EFFECTS LIKE CANTILEVERED MODULES, CURVED FEATURES AND PITCHED ROOFS CAN BE CREATED VERY EASILY. THRESE FEATURES GENERATE MORE VISUAL INTEREST AND CAN DISGUISE THE BUILDING’S MODULAR CONSTRUCTION METHOD.
CLAMP JOINT DETAIL
CLAMP JOINTS HOLD THE ROOF TOGETHER. THE ROOF CAN DISCONNECT FROM THE MAIN STRUCTURAL FRAME. THIS WAY THE EXTERIOR OF THE ROOF CAN DIRECTLY BE ATTACHED TO THE STRUCTURE. BECAUSE OF THIS ROOF CAN EFFORTLESSLY HOVER ON TOP OF THE VIADUCT AND MODULAR SPACES.
