Restoring Community in Laurieston With the knowledge acquired from my master’s research piece ‘Creating Communities’, I chose an area in need of community regeneration in Glasgow and drew a new vision of it.

Why Regenerate? The findings from the ‘Creating Communities’ investigation were implemented to create a somewhat utopian ideal on a neglected site in Laurieston Glasgow, deemed by Glasgow city council as “in need of regeneration”. The area is littered with overgrown neglected sites used primarily as car parks. Decaying historic buildings stand isolated on block corners and most of the buildings are used as warehouses with high density new multi storey housing interspersed in between. The site itself is located centrally, however it possesses little distinctiveness or life which should be present in a centre. The drawing explores how design can be utilised to bolster community by 1) showing the design of a place with a more distinctive identity than what exists there at present with clear paths and centres 2) showing design that encourages interaction between its occupants with a provision of communal green space, landscape to suit all age capabilities and to encourage street life with seating provision, as well as allotments 3) by adding housing which has the capacity to cater for changing needs, ensuring that occupants can remain in their home for a life-time, giving them the motivation to invest in their community with the knowledge that this investment in time and effort will be worthwhile In the spirit of Jane Jacobs; “The sidewalk must have users on it fairly continuously, both to add to the number of effective eyes on the street and to induce the people in buildings along the street to watch the sidewalks in sufficient numbers. Nobody enjoys sitting on a stoop or looking out a window at an empty street. Almost nobody does such a thing. Large numbers of people entertain themselves, off and on, by watching street activity.” Adding housing increases Laurieston’s density which has the knock on effect of reducing crime by making space more defensible, which in turn encourages people to spend more time in the public realm meeting and greeting each other and building greater community spirit. Greatening density also enhances character of place adding to sense of community.
12
The housing model on the site was initially developed as part of my postgraduate thesis. It responds to changing needs; for example a need for home enlargement in the event of a growing family. It is expandable and contractible through the staircase shared between the flats stacked on top of one another. It had a weakness though; it did not have sheltered housing or advanced care facilities incorporated into its design and so failed to accommodate for some needs apparent in older age. The newly improved model shown in the drawing incorporates a communal layer and ensures that in old age an individual can make minor alterations to their home which enables them to live 1) Amongst others 2) In close proximity to care resources This responds to the growing levels of loneliness apparent in older age these days and likely onset of care needs of people living longer lives. The drawing displays an axonometric of the first three floors of the housing development. The first level is composed of mainly restaurants, cafes, shops and offices. These facilities contribute to the mixed use dynamic of the place which bolsters community by ensuring maintained occupation of the realm throughout the day, increasing attractiveness of the space, and levels of use-age and likely public interaction. The second level contains the new sheltered housing/ communal layer and on the third level is the ‘life-time’ housing formulated by my post-graduate thesis . Furthermore, to ensure those with advanced care needs in the existing housing surrounding the regenerated site can age in place; rooftop care pods that contain communal block facilities and care resources have been added to the rooftops of the surrounding housing. This concept is explained in further detail in the book. The redesign of the site hopes to create a new multi- generational, community centre for Laurieston, exemplifying the direction by which further regeneration should be driven to benefit the well-being of all who live there.

Multi Generational Housing Major life events almost always result in a change in housing needs and relocation; the birth of a child may require additional space and a garden, the death of a partner in old age may sanction a move to a sheltered housing complex, or a marriage to a family home. My post-graduate thesis pays reference to this and attempts to provide a solution - a life-time home in a high density urban setting.

PG Dip The aging demographic is growing and choice of later life accommodation is almost never satisfactory in terms of meeting the diverse and extensive needs the group possesses. Therefore researching the scenarios many face and considering ‘aging in place’ accommodation solutions is contemporary and relevant which led to the creation of the multi- generational accommodation I designed as a result of the investigation findings.

Many European exemplars possess design features to encourage sociability amongst residents to improve sense of community, well-being and to alleviate loneliness. One development in Switzerland with a communal focus ensures communality through the provision of shared kitchen and living spaces, whilst giving each dweller a comfortable, yet minimised private space in which they can also cook and relax.

Many housing developments abroad are focussed on being multi- generational for exactly these reasons. Designers see the advantages of pairing families and older people; older people are good neighbourhood watch attendants, can help with child care and in return young parents can run errands for the perhaps less than physically able older neighbour.

Site is next door to an extra care dementia facility so if an individual comes to need intensive care they can receive it from this close by facility. If a move to the facility becomes necessary they will be in close enough proximity to walk to their old community, plus it will be easy for family, friends and old neighbours and acquaintances who still live in the community to visit them.
Site is within walking distance of a healthcare facility,craft workshops (on Clifton lane) and shops to buy groceries and necessities from. There is also a park minutes away to carry out physical recreation activities, a church on site and a school nearby to attract families to live in the development to improve multi-generational character.
3/4 BED MAISONETTE
The ability to down size whilst staying put is a relatively uncommon feature incorporated into the design of a home. However, it has great advantages for the modern family. As family size decreases as some enter late middle and old age, maybe due to children leaving home or due to the loss of a partner, a home lived in that once accommodated all bodies soon can become too large and costly to maintain, especially on a diminished monthly income from a pension. The “majority of people desire to live in their own homes for as long as possible” (Dean, 2009: 77), and “contrary to perception 90 per cent of the demographic live independently in mainstream housing” (Dean, 2009: 79). The ability to split a dwelling into two is a solution to the problem of wanting to down size without too much hassle /cost/upheaval or removal from a familiar environment. Remaining in one half of the split residence has many advantages; Income can be generated from the sale or letting of the additional space The additional space could accommodate family wishing to care for an older relative with privacy yet in close proximity 3. It could also accommodate a formal carer. 4. It could generate income if rented out 5. As defined by AGEUK, loneliness can not only be caused by a lack of companionship, but also sometimes by the lack of a useful role in society. Land lordship may give purpose and meaning after retirement. 1. 2.
In terms of renting, the venture may be socially and emotionally positive for the owner, especially if they are single or vulnerable to social isolation. Providing accommodation that has the adaptability to suit large families as well as single dwellers is important to ensure a multi- generational community can be supported.

WHY ADAPT THE TENEMENT? AND LIFE-TIME HOME STANDARDS Tenements account for almost 50 per cent of Glasgow’s housing stock, yet most fail to have lifts which potentially isolates those with a wheelchair or another walking impairment. There are also aspects of the interiors of the tenements that are unsuitable for wheelchair or mobility aid users such as small, narrow bathrooms and heavy doors.

WHY CO-OPERATIVE COMMUNAL LIVING?
3 BED MAISONETTE NON LOAD BEARING STRUCTURE, TO ENSURE MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY AND ADAPTABILITY
Swiss warehouse Co-ops have been branded as an ‘antidote to societies ills……yet they make up only 0.6% of the UK’s housing stock as opposed to 18% of Sweden’s housing stock’(Jones, Guardian, 2011). Many European exemplars possess design features to encourage sociability amongst residents to improve sense of community, well-being and to alleviate loneliness. One development in Switzerland with a communal focus ensures communality through the provision of shared kitchen and living spaces, whilst giving each dweller a comfortable, yet minimised private space in which they can also cook and relax. In this development, co-operative housing will be included; in all circumstances design will be utilised as a tool to bring people together.

WHY ENCLOSE THE CLOSE? Plants and natural surroundings have been proven to have beneficial emotional affects which is important as older generations are more prone to mental illnesses due to ‘eroded ideas of social status’ (Dean, 2009: 79), the consequence of retirement and other factors such as increased vulnerability to loneliness and isolation. Providing year round access to a place of nature that is not affected by the elements is essential for older users who may use mobility aids and find going out in treacherous weather conditions difficult. The communal garden is also shared and a social space for occupants to form friends and spend leisure time within. The covered close can also be beneficial in ventilating and heating the surrounding housing.
3. Only shared outdoor space with communal facilities on site for inhabitants of the development and the wider community.

“It is important to avoid creating dedicated areas for older people which are too exclusionary. Cities need to be places where all kinds of people can meet and interact. Sharing and exchange are vital to mutual empowerment and acculturation. If older people are left on the sideline in areas separated from the urban fabric the will be exiled from urban life” (OECD, P.87, Ageing, Housing and Urban Development).

Demographic Change. “Analysis by the National Records of Scotland suggests the number of people aged 75 and over will rise 82% in the next 25 years.” http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-17203756
“By 2026, there will be 19,500 more ‘elderly’ people living in Glasgow, of which 14,100 will be between the ages of 60 and 65.” www.scotland.gov.uk/publications/2007
As a result it is often in a ‘crisis situation’ that individuals move into extra care facilities. This is the worst scenario to make a move of this kind in.

Examples of need exceeding accommodation exist in culturally diverse city centre locations in Europe. They’re designed to look highly unusual and attractive and are highly aesthetically in tune with current fashions and trends, more favourably representing the occupants social status and personality than the usual type of traditional, twee retirement accommodation proliferated in Scotland.
Parks and Museums
Essentially ‘A VILLAGE’, where a fully active 60 something can live adventurously, knowing that in the event of physical decline, resources, cultural facilities and a framework of support exists there on their doorstep to help out and culturally / emotionally and socially fulfil without any inconvenience or relocations.
Sheltered Housing and Advanced care accommodation are two models often separated in Scotland whereas European models combine high quality accommodation for those with no physical or mental incapacity with extra care facilities in case needs change....
Strathclyde University Many retirees are motivated to pursue a higher education opportunity they never had time for during their working lives. Proximity to the university also offers inter generational opportunities and with a provision of facilities both students and retirees can use within the housing, social relationships between the groups are made possible.

On Christmas day this year, an estimated 246, 000 over 75’s spent Christmas day alone, and about 370,000 over 75’s spend “zero hours” with other people on a typical day. (Scotsman Newspaper,2011).
Impairments such as poor hearing, sight or depression lead to increased feelings of loneliness, giving a valid enough basis for housing to try to alleviate or heal these 3. physical difficulties. Staying healthy is key to Self-autonomy is experiencing fruitful years of life in maintained by later years.

Defined by AGEUK, loneliness can not only be caused by a lack of companionship, but also sometimes by the lack of a useful role in society(http://www.ageuk.org.uk/Documents/EN-GB /For-professionals/Evidence_Review_Loneliness_ and_Isolation.pdf?dtrk=true). Therefore housing must fulfil two needs - one - creating an environment that pro actively encourages trusting friendships and alliances to be built between those living together and two – to be in a location to or to actually be a place enabling its occupants to contribute to society.
4. Sounds of water and birds can alleviate tinnitus and so housing should be located near a river or ducats
The issue of social isolation is directly related to physical impairment - without physical deficiencies, one is more able to go out and socialise, lessening the likelihood of loneliness. Similarly, if exercise is promoted through the configuration of design, one may be less susceptible to depression which reduces motivation to socialize.

Involving the affected community: construction methods and techniques should be selected in consultation with the affected population. The affected population will begin to recover and to construct shelters immediately following the disaster and these efforts should be supported through the choice of construction methods. »Section xx: Assessment. Structural performance standards: construction methods should be selected to ensure that the shelters can meet performance standards which have been agreed to meet the needs of each beneficiary group. Use of emergency relief items: where possible, the construction techniques selected should make use of the emergency relief items distributed. Maximising choice: construction techniques should be selected to ensure that the shelters can be upgraded, reused, resold or recycled, or relocated, to contribute to the transition to a permanent solution.

Fourth Year The two main projects of my fourth year were both designed within the same park and connected by a master plan that attempted to encourage greater appreciation and use of the parks river shore. As the theme connecting both buildings was health, the plan also tried to promote healthier living through a provision of allotments and a riverside walkway that encouraged greater walking and boat use and became part of the pathway that connected the two buildings by foot.

The roof of the underground portion can be accessed easily from the surrounding sculpture garden, forming new terraces and viewing platforms in between the new buildings
Semi Private courtyard voids through which parts of the pool and spa can be observed from the public areas and through which light enters the lower cavities
Light penetrates from a higher level and delivered to lower levels using voids to control light intensity and direction In the bath house, the same technique is adopted using the voids to prevent glare which can be a safety hazard for swimmers and can comrpomise privacy

Third Year Whilst on exchange in Lille as part of an Erasmus program, I undertook a project with a materiality emphasis on a site adjacent to the planned Louvre Lens museum. The pavilion we were tasked to design had the specific requirement of being demountable. To pay reference to the towns heavy industrial past (now declined) and pay reference to its brighter future involving the cultural industry, I wanted to symbolise the change using brick (a traditional and heavy material) and break it up to represent the industry transition and use it to achieve translucency. This involved a lot of materiality experimentation, especially in terms of trying to enable a brick facade to be demountable as the brief required.

Second Year Three main projects were undertaken in my second year; the design of a Buddhist retreat in a small town on the West Coast of Scotland, a weather monitoring centre in St Andrews (also a site of historic importance) and thirdly the design of a home for two artistic individuals, suitable to carry out contemplation and reflection activities within. These two qualities were the drivers behind all of the projects displayed below.
