Phantom of the Club Partnership work of two The analysis reveals the changing aspects of culture in the period of 100 years as witnessed by Accrington’s high street. By engaging with Marc Auge’s theory on Non Places (1992), Archigram’s avant-garde design manifesto (1961- 1974), Leon Krier’s urban sketches (2009), history of retail consumption and personal criticism of existing retail typology in Accrington, the outcome is to propose a suitable use and an appropriate building system, giving life to the former Conservative Club.

Design for Manufacture & Assembly (DfMA) The programme modules are designed with DFMA approach in mind. We also wanted to challenge the stereotype of prefabrication being boring or rigid by providing several configuration options for wall panels, that allow building users to customise each module according to their needs. While the modules are sized according to the building grids, the possibilities are limitless as rooms can be sized up or down by adding or removing structurally independent prefabricated wall panels as required. In line with the RIBA sustainable outcomes, this ensures adaptability and sustainability in the long run, as current building use and activity trends changes and becomes irrelevant with time, while protecting the Conservative Club from yet another series of neglect.

Flexible Grid and Design for Disassembly

15x15 meter grid is flexible enough to slot smaller buildings in between jogging/cycling paths whilst also able to accommodate larger central building. The long beam span is achievable with engineered glue laminated timber (glulam). Using several post and column frame, glulam span can go up to 30-85 meter long which is useful for hall, market and many other typologies.

Ingermanmore Train

Station in the year 2049 Partnership work of two

The year is 2146. The increasing effects of climate change have led to rising global temperatures. The older nations have fragmented and recombined, creating new joint oceanic nations. Given the nature of these new nations, highspeed and reliable transport systems have become an essential part of the infrastructure. The lower populations coupled with clean renewable energy sources mean that the habitats have been linked with high-speed mag-lev lines, ATIONprotected within high-tensile transparent tubes that allow the passengers to look out at the surrounding ocean as they pass through and above it.
