Brief Consideration of the future of Clumber Park and the implementation of ‘the missing’. Creating a new identity for the park that appeals to millennials and post-millennial. Taking Clumber Park, owned by The National Trust, and making it more appealing for millennials and post-millennials. Aimed at Millennials that want to make a difference and raise awareness of current world issues. A group of young designers who live on the site and collaborate with one another to create art / design that challenges people‘s perspectives. The park becomes a place to invest in individual futures, Clumber Park’s future and the future of the planet. Developing the overall visitors experience and its functions so it is a ‘place to go’ for the next 50 years. To achieve this, the park will be focused on raising awareness of climate change and sustainability, linking to the idea that Clumber Park may not survive another 50 years if we do not address our current problems.

THE MISSING HOUSE A key feature of Clumber Park is the missing house. This was dismantled and materials were sold to try to bail out a Duke of Newcastle from tax problems and overspending. Most National Trust properties are characterised by their manor houses. Clumber Park no longer having a manor house creates a loss of identity for the site.

Refined Brief Designing for the next 50 years at Clumber Park. In 50 years if sea levels rise as predicted then clumber parks lake would be 15m higher than it currently is. The Paddocks building is located on higher ground than the main site, and will be safe from sea level rise for the next 50 years. This project aims to provide a platform for young designers of all different disciplines to speak up about what the future could involve and how we can make a difference now. Creating an on-site collaborative design space that encourages young designers to tackle current world issues over the next 50 years and further, with the park as the exhibition space for visitors to engage with these issues. Creating a space where the designers can be isolated away from the noise of the city and be fully immersed in the beauty of nature and one another’s creativity.

SEA LEVEL RISE In the next 50 years sea level is predicted to change due to the huge impacts humans are having on the climate. Estimates range from 1m up to around 1520m of addition sea water within the next 50 years. This is due to the melting of sea ice and glaciers from humans activities. Seen below is the possibility of Clumber Park being completely underwater in the next 200 years.
18
The prediction seen on the left suggests a massive increase of 50m of sea level rise in the next 100 years. With this worse case scenario prediction, almost all the buildings would be underwater. The only building that would be high enough on the site is the Paddocks building. Therefore using this building guarantees safety again flooding for many years to come.

Concept In a world whose identity is becoming unified across nations. An identity that focuses on money, profits and efficiency. This identity does not value each individual life and the planet on which we rely on for health, food and air to breathe. The National Trust care for the history and environment in the UK. They look to maintain and conserve the buildings that have shaped us today. We need to find a value in these sites for younger generations and align the identity of The National Trust with millennials identities. Both The National Trust and the environment can often be overlooked. ‘Identity’ is a project that aims to fuse The National Trust and millennials together. This is achieved by bringing in a small group of young designers focused on solving current world problems. This group then creates exhibitions that can be placed around Clumber Park for visitors to see. The new identity of Clumber Park created by these designers will attract millennials to the site and help raise awareness of the issues the world is facing.

‘identity’ young designers against climate change at Clumber Park

To bring more millennials into Clumber Park, 5 young designers will live and produce installations and exhibitions on site. These installations and exhibitions will be topical of current world issues, such as global warming and sea level rise. This will raise awareness of these issues, especially as Clumber Park is at the most risk of climate change. The aim of this focus group of designers will be to create a new identity for Clumber Park. By injecting this new identity into Clumber Park’s identity millennials will start to associate The National Trust as a place for their generation and will visit National Trust properties more often. The new function will also mean that Clumber Park will have new installations throughout the year, as well as different designers each year. This will encourage millennials to return, as the site will be in constant change.

The Paddocks building, located 10 minutes from the main site, is the focus point for this project. Chosen for its secluded location and lack of focus placed on it from The National Trust. Complimenting the chosen function, The Paddocks was an obvious choice for the concept.

INITIAL PROPOSALS Proposals aim to utilise as much of the existing building as possible. Areas of particular disrepair have been removed, such as the roof structure. This has allowed for a blend of existing and new throughout the scheme. This areas of disrepair have opened up possibilities to tailor the building to the users and create a new function for the National Trust.

OVERALL SCHEME This section explores the whole scheme proposal for the permanent site. The paddocks building has been converted into a collaborative design studio, 5 living spaces, and a communal kitchen. The scheme also has spaces to grow vegetables to allow the designers to be self-sufficient.

COLLABORATIVE DESIGN This section explores the working studios for the 5 designers. The design aims to be flexible to allow for different disciplines of designs. The focus of this part of the scheme is to encourage collaboration between designers, and to unite a variety of disciplines together.

For the collaborative design area, much of the original building has been restored, as well as creating greater head height in the studios and workshop. The new extension creates a centralised hub, allowing collaboration to be at the heart of the design. This space is visible from almost every part of the building, and helps remind the designers of the importance of working together and sharing of ideas. The shape of the extension creates a framed view of the landscape of Clumber Park, reminding the designers of nature from the second they enter the building to begin designing.

For the sustainable living area, the existing 5 stables are converted into the 5 living pods. Artists living on site have their own sleeping and living pod. The 5 on-site artists will have a communal kitchen, greenhouse and vegetable patch. To create enough space in the existing stables the existing roof structure has been replaced with a shallower pitched roof on one side, allowing enough space for a mezzanine level for sleeping.

MOVING GALLERY This section explores the movable gallery. This space provides a conceptual approach to a small gallery. When in a location is appears like a permanent structure, however can be easily dismantled into panels and relocated across the site. This addition to the scheme allows for flexibility for the designers to showcase their work, and also for Clumber Park to create new experiences for visitors.

The moving gallery enables the designers to test their exhibitions close to the main design studio. The use of panels to construct the gallery enables a flexible configuration, and panels are light weight so can be moved easily across the site. To help with the structural aspect of the gallery panels will be filled with sand once fastened together. To then move the panels the sand will be drained leaving a lightweight timber frame with recycled plastic covering. Enabling the gallery to move allows for variation in the type of exhibitions, as well as locations in which the designers can exhibit. The gallery is made for designers whose work needs shelter and can not be displayed in open air. The park will also allow designers to create installations within the site which can be closer to the nature within the park.

FUTURE IMPACT ON CLUMBER PARK By having new young designers on the site each year there will be new exhibitions throughout the year and continuing into the future. This provides a new experience for the visitors each time they visit. It also provides interest for people to want to travel to Clumber Park, and after they have been once and experienced the site they are more likely to come back again for the park itself. By creating a new identity for Clumber Park focused on a group of millennial designers, it starts to form an identity for The National Trust, that focuses more on millennials, increasing the likelihood of millennials going to more National Trust properties in the future.
