Brief: In order to engage in sustainable regeneration that actually helps the communities in which we are working, we need to look at the economic and social problems of our cities. Maybe it is not always about building a building, but perhaps sustainable architecture in our cities should be about thinking how we work with those who live in the spaces which we create. We expect the learner to study, reflect and propose a response in an urban infill responding to an identified area of conflict and division. Cities are facing problems of social exclusion, deprivation, division and at times violence. Effort has been made by local and national authorities towards an understanding of a more comprehensive response. Your architectural response will aim to understand these issues through a reflective practice based (explorative process) and well documented research base programme. The conditions given for the proposal are: 1. To be set in a specific urban location, that expresses relevant information of the context. Should show commitment to sustainable strategies, in particular the environment and social responses. 2. Whatever is the choice, the proposal will elaborate a well-informed programme of needs and facilities according to standards.

Integration into the city fabric
The built form is a mere reflection of the socio-cultural values of society (Low,1993:75). Therefore, any architectural phenomenon can be explained through a thorough analysis of its context. The spatial fracture in urban development, revealed in the Leeds city landscape, finds its reasoning in the dramatic dynamic of the Industrial Revolution. Throughout history, emblematic cities of the time have had to maintain their previous social status by rapidly adapting to the requirements and demands of the new user brought in by the Industrial Revolution. Consequently, large urban areas of importance to the former user have lost their value, while the modern city continued to develop amidst. The creation of this metaphorical fracture in the environment has been embedded in the urban fabric of many cities throughout the Industrial Era, Leeds being an accurate example of the process. Such an area within Leeds is that of the Little London district. This quarter finds itself on the boundary line between the modern city center, the academic quarter inhabited by the new user of the city, and the old industrial settlements.

These diagrams were used in analyzing the city in both physical and experiential terms. The inhabitation, movement and particularity studies have determined the location as well as the fundamentals of the spatial fracture within Leeds. Moreover, the diagrams below analyze the site specific issues used in determining the morphological aspect as well as the positioning of the proposed architectural development

P.09
The illustrative diagrams showed below tell the story of Leeds city, revealing a number of different visual elements emblematic to the city’s physical and experiential development. These elements reside within the same semantic field- that of the industrial vocabulary; having undergone a number of changes throughout time as to adapt to the demands of the new user. Parallels have been drawn between the architectural responses corresponding to each category of city users through time, revealing that in order to achieve continuous development at a material and experiential level, one must not only address current issues, but must also integrate previous experiences while working towards formulating an accurate solution to current social issues. As a response, my proposal aims to reconnect the three experiential areas of the city, by populating the Little London District found at the intersection of the above mentioned social sectors. This shall be achieved while responding to the needs of the 21st century user by addressing the under-layer of the city‘s urban development: its industrial past.

Brief: The theme is set to explore the complex relationship set within a topic that has affected cities and communities equally in the last decade throughout many parts of the world including the UK. The student must respond to the proposed urban issue by proposing a venue that addressed the needs stressed within the first Outline Design Module. The conditions given for your proposal are: 1. Refer to Criteria in the Outline Design Module for design briefs for submission guideline requirements

As concluded in the Outline Analyses, the built form is an expression of socio cultural values. Low (1993) considers that spatial forms should be seen as an example of living history and have evolved over a period of time. Therefore the physical form of the proposed venue will be an expression of both the industrial heritage of the city, as well as of the organic fracture between the three existing experiential quarters of Leeds. The building with its surrounding site shall act as a catalyst within the urban and social fabric of the city. Thus, the venue shall commemorate the history of Leeds through a remembrance Museum, exposing works that dwell upon the development of the city from an industrial town to an aspiring academic center. Nevertheless, the venue shall shelter the needs of the new user by providing aspiring artist with exposition halls and workshops, therefore facilitating their integration within the larger scheme of the city.

P.21
Brief: The natural death burial ground and chapel for remembrance will be a medium sized building located at Bardney woods, designed for quiet contemplation and burial ceremonies. Students are required to design a medium scale building with particular emphasis on integration. Students are expected to fully analyse the site and its context in formulating proposals for the building. Consideration must be given to all technical aspects of the proposal but particular attention should be paid to the relationship between the structural/design concept and its spatial integration. Proposals should demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of a design problem and solutions must indicate that students have a fully developed scheme from the large scale urban (or rural) context through to detailed design proposals.

01. Potential site visitors
02. Site within the site
Parallels driven between the initial instances of the brief: death and woodlands, have shaped the existence of two experiential antithetical sensations driven by the same determinant: time. Living organisms are not only subjected to growth, but also to degradation. These two existential happenings shape the conceptual development of the project. processional route
birdswatch tower
chapel
gallery space
The expression of organic growth seen in site-specific examples, as well as experimental degradation studies conducted by myself have determined the design decisions made within the project. Therefore, the physicality of the building is an expression of decomposition, while the morphology of the plan suggests the continuous expansion of living organisms.

The proposal advocates an innovative approach to the concept of death. Organic degeneration is subject to reinterpretation, by attaching a divine terminology to the sinister after-death experience. Therefore, 12 pairs of concrete ribs are introduced in the design, taking on the role of guiding visitors to the place of worship, of salvation, while expressing at a metaphorical dimension the decomposition of organic materials. Moreover, the organic dimension of the site with its untouched woodlands inspire the visitor to enjoy its typology beyond the nature of the place. Therefore, the consideration of death as not a misfortune, but a natural obstacle in the story of life is implemented. The integration of a birds-watchtower as well as a gallery exhibiting ‘the human body’ add to the natural dimension of the proposal, encouraging the user to have a more opened approach to the concept of death.

Brief: The design ensemble shall be composed of two intercommunicating functional areas. Together these areas will have the role of assessing the control activity and well-conduct of the nearby air traffic as well as that of the takeoff and landing runway of Cluj-Napoca Airport. The two functional areas are as follows: 1. The Control Tower 2. The Administrative Building The specific chambers needed for such a venue, along with their surface requirements, the specific site location of the construction, as well as the footprint dimension of the building have been specified in the received brief. Personal Contribution: My personal contribution to the project has been greatly appreciated by the two architecture practices mentioned previously, as I have researched the subject and formulated the concept behind the proposal. The final architectural solution has been the product of a team composed of four minds lead by arch. Ivona Amaritei, all striving to achieve the best possible design response revolving around the proposed concept and the main design approach, which have both been developed and researched by myself.
A constant debate regarded for in the present day architectural environment is that of the visual and conceptual discontinuity between the existing and the proposed environment, the old and the new architectural languages. The present design proposal forms an attempt of interlinking the existing typology of a site-specific location, with the requirements of a continuously evolving environment. Therefore the visual and sensorial amenities of the mioritic landscape, specific to the suburban Cluj region, are maintained at a metaphorical level through the design of the building facades. The exterior layer of the building expresses the typology of the landscape not only through the use of a specific color palette, but also through the shape of the proposed building which embraces the organic under-layer of the site.
