THE GUARDIANS OF THE GARDENS

The Guardians of the Gardens Project is located in Bemerton Estate in Caledonian Road. When the site is examined, it is possible to see that the statistics about health deprivation, and the sizes of green spaces and houses, affect the rates of healthy/comfortable living and life expectancy in each residential area around Caledonian Road. Compared to the others, the Bemerton estate is the area where the most health deprivation is seen, but still less care is given to this area in terms of spatial and health services. The Estate has communal square gardens in the middle of each four residential blocks, residents. These gardens

can help decrease the problematic percentages by using the healing effect of nature through activating the already existing green spaces. Through this activation, opportunities can be created to respond to physical and mental health rates and make better communal areas in Bemerton estate gardens. Therefore, the project will focus on improving the lives of the residents by providing them more space to engage with natural activities and by creating collaborative working strategies to enhance the community and social relations between residents.

A PRODUCTIVE LOCAL STRATEGY

Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant

IDENTIFYING THE LOCAL ISSUES: THE WEALTH GAP That wealth gap between residents living around the area has long been a problem. While the wealthiest fifth of households have a yearly income of more than £60,000, the poorest fifth earn less than £15,000. A segregation happens because of gentrification and deprivation being significantly high around the area. The Cally almost stand as a sandwich between wealthy and wealthy, ‘squeezed between this massive regeneration of Kings Cross and salubrious gentrification of Barnsbury, the Cally can feel like an embattled strip of a fast-retreating or forgotten London.’

THE INEQUALITY BETWEEN TWO STREEST: Lacking public space usage The division between the areas are coming from the past: the east side of the street, the area known as Barnsbury, was notably quieter and calmer than the west side. Ever since the 19th century, the ‘V’ formed by Caledonian Road and York Way has been known for a high incidence of gang violence and social problems. Still, in this century, it is possible to come across the same issue. Accordingly, public space usage in Cally area is much less than Barnsbury.

THE IMPACT OF POOR LIVING CONDITIONS: Health Deprivation & Early Death Deprivation and health inequalities are inextricably linked, and deprivation stands out as the main risk factor for early death and poor health in Islington and around the Cally. At both community and individual level, poor health is linked to social and economic disadvantage and deprivation. Differences in income, employment, education, housing, social environment and access to services all produce inequalities in health outcome., Living in Bemerton Estate with low income, poor employment and poor infrastructure increases the risk of ill health above and beyond factors on an individual level. These poor living conditions causes stress and worries which increase mental health and health deprivation problems in Bemerton estate.

A PRODUCTIVE LOCAL STRATEGY: Improving well -being through healing effect of nature Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. Accordingly, giving the Bemerton Estate residents more space to engage with nature will decrease mental and physical health problems and provide them additional activity space.

The guardians will be chosen from the Estate residents. I wanted to provide economical and practical opportunities for the residents by bringing them in to contribute to the management of the structures and provide extra space for them to be engaged with natural activities.

Residents who agreed will be the guardians, some will share their personal space, but they also gain direct access to the gardens. If not willing to share their personal space, some will produce an Almanac book to be shared with the whole Estate to create knowledge exchange between residents. Additionally, the guardians outside the Estate will be chosen from the local organizations to take ownership of their own given space.

After the sketch model-making process, I was mainly interested in the usage of lightweight construction and materials. Later, to design all the structures more manageable and in a more systematic way, I created a series of components and wanted to use them repeatedly to make the rooms. Afterwards, I wanted to bring the Estate’s features into consideration and was inspired by the diverse cultures of the residents and wanted to make patterns inspired by them.

All structures are designed to improve the communication and collaboration between residents. Accordingly, while they all stand as separate structures in different gardens, they are connected to each other in terms of their program. In addition, the surrounding landscape of each structure is designed to create additional planting space and support biodiversity. .

Each structure will be activated, according to the seasons: the activities happening inside the facilities can differ according to the harvests, weather, or residents’ preferences.

Year 3 - Guardians of the Gardens

COLLABORATIVE BUILDING STRATEGY

BEMERTON ESTATE ALMANAC

Each building will consist of 2 types of structural parts: permanent and changeable. While elements like the steel frame, columns, and foundations will be permanently used, the façade panels will be adaptable and changeable over time. The main aim of this idea was to create an easy construction technique for residents to contribute to the construction. An easily assembled and disassembled slot-in system will be used in the construction of the panels.

The Dinorwic Quarry is a large former slate quarry, located between the villages of Dinorwic and Llanberis in North Wales. The site is an ev- idence for the old slate mining industry; it includes lots of remains from the former uarry, suc as ruined ouses, cutting s eds, stations, etc e specific sites we were made to focus on where are examples of such buildings.

The area is very natural, surrounded by trees, hills and ruins and it is dominating the scenery with views of Snowdon and Crib Goch mountains. Nearby, there are twin lakes of Llyn adarn and Llyn eris, and the closest settlement is around these lakes. Throughout the site, the landscape is unstable and there are lots of changes in level. hile the eligibility of being able to access to the site can be seem like a problem because of the landscape, there are arranged pathways which make the access to the site easier.

The Dinorwic Quarry employed over 3000 men, accordingly, there are evidences of old settlement and life in the area. My site, the Anglesey Barracks, is an important example of one of these. Anglesey Barracks, served as an accommodation for some of the quarrymen, consists of two identical blocks of 11 units facing each other across an open courtyard. The w ole building is made out of slate and eac two-room unit ad a li ing area wit a fireplace and a sleeping area for four men.

An important reference for this pro ect was the carefully thought out stone arrangements of the ground design in Acropolis by Dimitri ikionis. nspired by this design wanted to create my own unique arrangement with a similar stone layout for my ground design. also

Preparing the ground brief involved focusing on making adjustments to the topography to make accessible and safe journey to our site. Initially, I analysed the topography, pathways and routes throughout my site. It was important for me to think about my own experience while accessing to the site, I focused on re-designing t e pat ways t at I found ard to use and I considered t e at surfaces as a resting/viewing points.

An important reference that I was looking at was the cabinet design by Le Corbusier. His cabinet building is a small but functional space. I was interested in the neat arrangement of the interior space and the dominant usage of only one material.

Working with a highly impressive existing building in an as much as impressive landscape, while making additions and changes, I wanted to change the existing structure as less as possible and keep it connected with the nature outside to not to lose the existing atmosphere. I designed the new structure inside the existing walls, the new additions will be insulated plywood structures, and each unit will include a part of the existing walls to separate the rooms in a unit.
