Life Line With the constant urban expansions of cities, the loss of natural environments and habitats is happening at an alarming rate. Madrid is no exception to this.
Li fe Li n e T he s i s Pr o j ec t 2 01 7 -1 8
With this being the case the reintroduction and synthesis of the urban habitat and natural habitat must be considered when designing new urban interventions, whether this be new expansions to the outskirts
[6]
South Facade
or inner city development. The thesis explores introducing a green life line into the heart of Madrid's historical core that enables the linking of this area to existing landscapes within the city, initially looking at connecting the Casa de Campo and El Retiro Park, with further development looking at linking the Casa de Campo back to the city.
The main concept of this is the creation of an accessible bridgelike structure with an elevated park that links the existing streetscape of Madrid's historical centre and provides an accessible link to Casa de Campo. I envision this to be a vehicle enabling the existing urban fabric to be altered and greened in areas that allow this process.
[7]
Li fe Li n e T he s i s Pr o j ec t 2 01 7 -1 8
Site Location The intended location for this intervention is a linear path across from the elevated pedestal of the royal palace toward the Lago Casa de Campo. This path provides not only a more direct link and route to the Campo, currently a convoluted route through the city to get here, but can provide an ecological route from the Campo to the city and the isolated landscapes currently within the city. This site enabled me to look at both the structural and architectural approaches in creating a structure of this scale as well as the technical consideration for designing a elevated park. I was also able to consider how a structure like this impacts the ground plane and the activities that are carried out here.
Location Within Madrid - The site is located to the south west of the city at the edge of the historical core towards the Manzanares River and the Casa de Campo.
This area can also be seen as the central location for the recent ecological developments of the Rio project that has been carried out on the banks of the river Manzanares and the reintroduction of biodiversity into the city. It can however be argued that the Rio project does not synthesises itself with the existing urban fabric of Madrid, unlike what this project is trying to do.
Li fe Li n e T he s i s Pr o j ec t 2 01 7 -1 8
Existing site - The existing territory is located between the plinth of the Palace and the Casa de Campo. This area typologically differs creating a separation of the two landscapes of the city.
[8]
Pedestrian Movement - much of the pedestrian movement associated around the site is associated with movement through the historical city and landmarks. Little movement happens between the palace and the Campo (east to west).

With the ever increasing urban habitats in cities it begs the question as to why we would want to add more biodiversity habitats into the city. This diagrams gives a brief indication into how and why this type of habitat should be included into cities.

Conceptual Design
A section through Spain - the initial conceptual thinking for the project was the idea to take an apparent section through Spain and using this variety of landscapes upon the route.
Layering of the section this section is then taken and used as a driver in creating a route from the Place to the Campo finishing at the lake.
Li fe Li n e T he s i s Pr o j ec t 2 01 7 -1 8
Strata's of Landscape this route is then divided up into a selection of strata's that mimic the topographical structure of the section.
[12]
Linking of strata’s - these strata's of landscape are then linked by a northern mass that allows a direct link from the places to the Campo
Definition of space - these masses are then linked with a frame that defines the route yet allows and openness to the structure.
Overlapping sections of the strata's also internal spaces to be made allowing the structure to provide spaces to incorporate an institution like a seed bank or research facilities that can be used to preserve the Spanish landscape.
Li fe Li n e T he s i s Pr o j ec t 2 01 7 -1 8
Layering of landscape - the route and strata's are then layered with a variety of landscape conditions that have a feeling of a botanical garden - yet unlike a traditional botanical garden this celebrates the existing landscapes of Spain.
[13]
The intention to expand the existing botanical gardens, that is currently situated in the Parque de El Retiro to the east of the city, allows the creation of a clear programmatic schedule and understanding of requirements for the proposed flora and fauna to flourish. The landscaped levels created within the project create the idea of incorporating a section of the existing Spanish landscape. These zones focus on enhancing the existing landscape of Spain and preserving the fragile habitats and biome's of areas like the Casa de Campo. Each landscape is designed to embody the different aspects of the Spanish landscapes. It unlike a traditional botanical garden celebrates the native and predominant plants found within Madrid. In doing this it also promotes more natural habitat spaces within the city.
Axonometric
These strata's and levels are defined via the concrete outer frame, that defines the route, yet allows an element of transparency within the mass.

Proposed South Section
Layering of the structure - The structure embodies the conceptual ideas of layering different elements of Spain upon the route.
Outer frame - the outer structure made up from concrete define space and the route.
Vertical Movement - Vertical movement via stairways are found through out the souther edge of the structure.
Multiple elements landscaped decks are made up of multiple elements that create a variety of textures and materials.
Li fe Li n e T he s i s Pr o j ec t 2 01 7 -1 8
Horizontal movement - to the northern edge the main horizontal movement uses a similar architectural language to that of a viaduct. It allows a direct link between the city and the Campo.
[15]
Architectural Technology With the intention to create a landscape that projects the idea of incorporating a section of the existing Spanish landscape on to this, that is focused on enhancing the existing landscape of Spain. It also allows me to look at the requirements of these areas as well as highlighting the beauty and benefits of this synthesis of urban structure and natural habitats. With this being the case the AT of this project looks into how the natural aspects of the landscapes synthesis with mass. It also looks at a sustainable method of water use as water is a substantial resource

Overall Strategy
within the project. Over all strategy - The idea of
creating a self sustained infrastructure has been incorporated into this design. With high volumes of water required for irrigation, connection to the lake and the used of rainwater harvesting was a key aspect of this strategy. Excess water would also be used to reinvigorate the Manzanares river and back into the lake. Bio waste would also be used to generate electricity needed again any excess being incorporated into the city grid.

Water Distribution - With water
being the most used resource within the intervention the idea to create a system that has the ability to replenish and manage its self has been adopted. The system has been designed to use existing water from the lake and harvest rain water with both being used for irrigation and feature elements. Excess water would be pumped back into the lake and used to help in the regeneration of the Manzanares river.

The northern mass, and main circulation path acts as heat sink, due to the concrete mass and storage of water, that absorbs excess heat and creates additional natural cooling.
Planting of larger trees and plants to the souther aspects provides additional shading
Landscape areas are designed to retain water and to used this for both irrigation and replenishment to the Manzanares River and the Lake in the Capo
New landscaped areas provide additional habitats for nature as well as additional oxygen and C02 absorption for the city.
Due to the open structure of the design natural prevailing winds are able to pass through the structure providing additional cooling
Li fe Li n e T he s i s Pr o j ec t 2 01 7 -1 8
Flooded sections of the landscape decks offer cooling spaces for users, and nature. This interaction with water is offered in various locations throughout the structure.
[18]
Over lapping levels provide shaded areas, beneficial for both users and nature from the harsh summer sun.
Existing habitats are retained where possible and additional planting added where needed. The under croft spaces also provide shaded areas in the summer.

A selection of hard wearing tactile materials and textures have been selected for this project. The used of recycled elements (fly ash and plastics) have been incorporated within the board marked concrete frame to reduce some of the environmental impact this material has. The exposure of the project and incorporation of water and synthesis of landscaped areas has led to the selection of hard wearing materials, that can withstand the impact nature and human interaction with minimal maintenance requirements.

food and beverage industry already situated in Finnieston also allows the building to provide a commercial aspect, and any funds generated from a commercially ran restaurant/cafĂŠ/bar/deli or events held here could be re-invested into the Anderston. The main driver for the building is to have an influence on re-knitting of an existing fragmented community through the social aspects of food
and enable the area to have a better understanding of food that could lead to a better way of life. The culinary arts hub will provide a canvas for exploration into food and cooking, a place for community engagement and communication, a place for debating, learning and generating ideas , allowing it to thrive within the local context as well as wider Glasgow.

Site Location The making, consumption and enjoyment of food is a process that is enjoyed throughout the world. Food in many cultures brings family, friends and communities together. From my own experiences, especially those gained through my previous training as a chef, this is something i have been involved with experienced. Food, and particularly tastes and smell has a cognitive link to memories, we all have that one dish that we can relate to a time of enjoyment and memories. With this I see food as a way we can reconnect and reinvigorate communities. Glasgow currently has a flourishing and exciting culinary scene. This diagram highlights the main culinary areas within the city. Finneston currently is a new emerging area for the culinary scene, an with this being the case the addition of a place to learn how to cook compliments this existing trend.

The site is situated within a highly urban context. To the direct north of the site the busy Argyle street and the emerging 'Finnestoun Strip'. The site is adjacent to a more residential intersecting street, with similar conditions to the direct south.

Each space from the basement library kitchens to the community kitchens on the second floor are connected via a selection of voids through the building that visually and audibly connect each space within the building. Even the more private top floor dining spaces share this experiential aspects of cooking, adding to the initial conceptual thinking.

Urban Q ui l t

Situated within the West area of the city centre, Anderston has endured extensive change over the last few hundred years. It's prominent location is a result of its adjacency to the M8 and features buildings from various time periods including five housing blocks that began construction in the 1960's. The area is currently undergoing a regeneration project where

Sanctuary Housing Association are erecting various tenement styled housing blocks consisting of mixed housing tenure. The scheme is centred on the notion of diversity, present in both the architectural landscape and the current communities of Anderston. From divisive 1960's social housing blocks, to traditional
tenements and industrial buildings, the sites character is defined by variety in its built form. The new proposals seek to celebrate and enhance this diversity, creating a patchwork of clearly defined yet subtly related clusters, which address each original typology in a new, contemporary way.

Conceptual Design
[44]
The scheme is centred on the notion of diversity, present in both the architectural landscape and the current communities of Anderston. From divisive 1960's social housing blocks, to traditional tenements and industrial buildings, the sites character is defined by variety in its built form. The new proposals seek to celebrate and enhance this diversity, creating a patchwork of clearly defined yet subtly related clusters, which address each original typology in a new, contemporary way. Landscaping and significant changes in scale have been employed to integrate each patch and address the urban context, which varies dramatically between
the tenement blocks and cafĂŠ culture of Finnieston, towards the high rises and M8 bordering Glasgow's financial district. Key to the architectural moves shaping each patch is the desire to create a variety of external terraces and crossing points, both private and shared; designed to encourage residents to meet informally and converse, reestablishing the diminishing feeling of community which until recently thrived in Anderston. Our aim is to complement the diverse community through the provision of several distinct housing typologies, mixed together within each patch to ensure a healthy and stimulating blend of residents, and
guard against the segregation of any one group. Other important drivers include ensuring maximum access of Southern light across the site and on to St Vincent street; which we will re-invigorate through the introduction of Natural light, a replanning of the St Vincent Terrace blocks to include public spaces at street level, and the primary entrances of the new housing scheme. Additionally, improving permeability through Anderston, culminating in St. Patricks Church, re-instating the lost portion of Argyle street (Anderston High Street).

Break Out Spaces
Breakout spaces across the site include shared terraces between flats and private balconies. It is these breakout spaces that intencifise the interaction between occupants that was missing from the pre-existing fabric.

Our scheme is divided into 4 elements of housing typologies that enhance this quilt concept we identified initially. These areas consist of retaining the existing tower block, the introduction of free standing block to the rear of these, a reinterpretation of the existing Glasgow tenement block we call the Mosaic apartments. These maximising access of southern light across the site and on to St Vincent street. Allowing the ability to create intimate breakout spaces, initiating interaction between flat types and its occupants. At street level new landscaping offers intimate streets to meander or pause. These block have small scale terrace housing to the rear, that enforce the traditional route of Argyle street and to the end of the site student/co-occupancy housing to responded to housing needs of the area.
