BRIEF
• Barking Riverside is a newly emerging region that currently has a lot of construction taking place and new homes being built which is increasing the population and popularity in this area. As a result, this area is now lacking employment and any sort of workshops/galleries and entertainment. so, I'm going to create a design Centre because I want to motivate more people to come and use this location for inspiration and creativity and encourage more people into the design community. This will help bring people together and will employment/workspaces.increaseThisbuilding will be more modernised and provide many things to enjoy. Providing a design space might inspire different populations to come together, such as students and people who share a passion for design and art. Since this location is near many schools it would have a huge impact on students and their future careers as it would contribute a useful experience. • The objective is to create a permanent design hub that incorporates elements from the naturaland organic influence/ movement & flow. The design Centre must honor and present the naturalbeauty of this world and the opportunity for many workers to exhibit their work in well-lit areas. Both the interior and exterior of the design Centre will be created using designs that are current and contemporary and have a bright, airy feel. People should feel comfortable and free to explore all sides of the building.

CAD OF THE SITE
MODEL
To understand the space and surroundings better, I studied the map and then created this CAD model, in order to identify the location, I coloured the site red. Later, I'll use this model with the intention of overlaying my final design to demonstrate the relationship between the structure and the surrounding area.
This is where the design centre will be located. I've made the decision to build the design centre at a location that is currently unutilized. I discovered that the shape of the location will function well, and that it is big enough for my building and there is more than enough room for communal areas. I think the location is perfect for an design centre as Barking Riverside is a developing area that is constantly improving and changing. I think a design centre will increase employment/tourism in Barking riverside .
Barking Riverside
Barking Riverside is a mixed use development in the area of Barking, east London, England, within the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. It is being built on land formerly occupied by Barking Power Station, adjacent to the River Thames.
LOCATION
The community here is invested in making this the best place it can be. Residents actively participate in shaping the social, natural and built environment, creating a deep sense of purpose, belonging and pride
The nearest train station is a few minutes away which makes it easily accessible and easy to locate for people who live outside barking riverside. A few things that I will be considering in my designs and ideas is to create a multi-use building that varies from a work space to entertainment hall.
The chosen location has few restrictions in terms of size and shape. As a result, multiple design opportunities and functions are available within the space.
Since this location is still relatively new, not many people would have heard of this place; nevertheless, as it continues to expand, perhaps it will become more well-known. This site is surrounded by many homes, therefore I don't want my design to be too disruptive for the locals while still making it distinctive enough to draw visitors.
I want to establish a design centre since it will promote social interaction and boost employment. This will improve the quality of life in Barking Riverside both now and for years to come, as the community will embrace and support projects that take into consideration the needs of our rapidly changing global environment. Residents will be actively urged to engage and contribute to a better future in this community.
Utilizing a wide surface area of land gives you the chance to add landscaping, inviting people to enjoy the open natural space.

More about the site
Close to the site there are numerous schools located, with students ranging from primary to sixth form. The neighbouring new train station will draw attention to this development(my design), so it won’t go unnoticed. This centre may be a wonderful social setting for friendship groups or parents/guardians and their kids to learn and exercise their creativity. Given this, the centre is ought to provide activities at convenient times after school, encourage participation from people of all ages, and serve as a secure location for older kids and teenagers to go after school. Since there are so many schools, if my design has adequate, elevated facilities, some of the rooms might be rented out by the schools so they can host their own creative activ ities while having access to the arts centre's resources.

Primary Research
Secondary research of the area
New Train station
I want to include this area's distinct Morden aesthetic into my design because it will blend in with the surroundings. However I also want to make it stand out so I’m going to include more distinctive features into my design that aren’t common in this region to make my design more noticeable.
MOOD BOARD THEME: MOVEMENT AND FLOW
I decided to gather some images of movement and flow to help me convey some ideas and how I can incorporate these elements into my final design. Furthermore it gives me a better understandingof different forms and shapes and how they can provide a unique design.
MOOD BOARD THEME: Organic form
There are many different wavy forms and patterns in organic and natural forms. Before beginning a new project, I wanted to use this mood board to gather inspiration/ideas that would enable me to incorporate a natural element into my final design solution.

Experience
From the exterior, the building appears as a series of fluted drums wrapped in a glass skirt. The drums vary in height depending on the internal function. They are finished with silver aluminium panels, which gently reflect the sky and surrounding landscape. This form sets the rhythm of the visit in terms of light and dynamic relationship with the exterior. Space is created for circular meetings, group activities, and children to play; a multifunctional space that can be adapted to different purposes. It addresses the neighbourhood through its fully transparent envelope, inviting the local community to join and gather. This is what I’m trying to achieve in my design.

Cloud Art Museum
The Cloud Art Museum designed by Challenge Design represents a pure white cloud that floats near the Laoma River. It is in Qingzhen Wetland Park.The museum has various facilities like a bar, media room, activity ound.room,exhibitionroomandevenaplaygrThemultipurposemuseum facilitates for all ages and is quite versatile. The view of the surroundings vary around the museum.
Exterior
The overall building is transparent and light, making its colour and luster calming and soft.
Interior The cloud art museum's interior can be characterised as open, spacious and airy. This is due to the design being inspired by Chinese culture as the cloud symbolism used throughout this space is auspicious. This museum's themes combine a delicate art theme with elements of nature. The materials chosen in this building's emphasis on simplicity contribute to its refined and minimalist aesthetic. The museum includes facilities for visitors of all ages, including a café, a bar, a media room, an exhibition room, a playground, and even an activity room. The museum is very spacious and has this dreamy atmosphere due to the inspiration of a cloud like form. Despite the fact that this museum is small, I am motivated by the fact that it has facilities for people of all ages, which is something I can look further into. The layout is powerful and matches to the idealistic style I'm aiming for.
This plaza surface is altered by complex formations including undulations, bifurcations, folds, and inflections to create an architectural landscape that serves a variety of purposes, including welcoming, embracing, and guiding people through various levels of the interior.
Heyday Aliyev Centre
The design of the Heydar Aliyev Centre establishes a continuous, fluid relationship between its surrounding plaza and the building’s interior.
Continuous calligraphic and ornamental patterns provide a continuous interaction between architectural features and the ground they occupy.
I choose to look at this centre because it drew my attention, as it stands out, and I really appreciate the way it was developed. I want to apply some of the aspects this centre has in my own design.
PRIMARY RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Movement and flow: water mixed with oil
Primary photos
By imitating the form and shape of the flowers, I was able to convey the delicate nature of the petals in my design. Since I’m aiming to create an environmentally friendly structure with natural and organic characteristics, I believe that my design should draw inspiration from nature as well.
Organic form : Flowers/plants
Models
My design incorporates many curves and round surfaces in order to provide an exciting environment. My goal is to create a building/outdoor space with more unique elements in order to represent a design centre and its creativity.
