Introduction

Learning from contemporary architects

This year has been a fulfiling and challenging experience. The studio I was in had an interesting brief of ‘future city: space for exchange’ where criticality was needed to develop our own project brief.

The existing streetscape and elevation of redbrick buildings (mixture of Georgian and Victorian architectural style) on Richmond Street has been studied and inspired by Tokyo-based Architects, Atelier Bow Wow and their theories on windows and behaviour from the public. Architectural drawings from inhabitation in detailed sectional perspectives to roofscapes on plan were cohesive in apprising every design decision made for the project. Initial ideas of thresholds were experimented using planes and materiality where the building and the street meets during Thinking Through Making Week.

Dissertation cover on ‘Social public space?’ by yours truly

Following through that line of thought in the prospects of future cities, my dissertation (ARC3060 module) on the study of ‘social public spaces’ in a city like London feeds into the social agenda of the design proposal I titled: The Richmond Street Project.

< Conceptual sketch of threshold

The project is tailored to the studio brief where the site boundaries are set at the heart of Manchester city centre in an area locally known as as the ‘Gay Village’.

This encouraged the proposed Richmond Street Project using a ‘bottom-up’ approach, emphasising the needs of the existing community and considering how my project could cultivate an inclusive approach to regeneration. Therefore, the project is a site wide strategy of a potential new architecture in addressing local issues such as housing crisis, unemployment and questioning the relatively poor quality public space in the city.

It is a three-part series of intervention that fosters the relationship between people and the streets within the existing community bringing about a strong social agenda in tackling them through a domestic, community-led approach in identifying and progressively resolving by feeding a form of a catalyst into the current system that is affected.

Zooming out on a macroscale of the ‘Gay Village’, the site wide strategy was identified during the staging phase of the project with reference to the works and readings of London-based practice, MUF architecture/art. It was essential in considering what is existing and what could exist to enhance the immediate public, this is also known as the principle of study under ‘Making Space in Dalston’.

These contemporary architects resonate with the objectives of Richmond project due to the fact that they are both situated in urban cities allowing a wide range of critical design approach and thinking within a specific field of interest in the public. The theory into practice (ARC3015 module) essay was insightful and retrospective in feeding my architectural literacy as it encapsulates my critical stance as a designer and even more so reflected on the Richmond project.

Adding life to drawings

Solidifying grounds

Developing the design of the Richmond Street project along the way was the engineering counterpart (ARC3013 module) in ensuring both buildings function as an internal climate and in close relation to its surroundings. Building materials appropriate to the client and context such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and Polycarbonate were integrated to the Richmond Collective and Workshop respectively.-

It is not just in theory that the Richmond project exists but for it to be completely feasible in the real world, the professional practice and management essay (ARC3014 module) supplements as an in-depth report when it comes to the process of procurement. Internalising a designer’s responsibilities with relevant references like RIBA plan of work, planning and regulations to adhere to with the Richmond project at hand is substantial in addressing potential risks and advantages that may rise in the event of realising the project. These include the narrow site constraint for material transportation and construction holding areas, budgeting to fit the client’s objectives for the project and the impact Richmond project would have on the reputation of client, architects and construction industry. This report has made concrete grounding in obtaining and establish a complete proposal for the Richmond Street project to take flight.

The Richmond Street Project – a viable resolution for societies of future cities?

A notable architectural design lecture (ARC3001 module) that stuck was ‘Practice Perspectives’ by Samuel Austin on the types of architecture prevailing in today’s context was informative and intriguing. With the understanding of the varied amount of architectural approaches situated in real time and needs, the diversifications of these types both reflects and interrogates the spaces that we have in the past, existing and what is to come. Unsurprisingly, most of these spaces are situated in the urban grid. The big question is, how do we stay mindful and proactive of gentrification in cities?

Under Integrated Construction (ARC3013), the main building of the project, Richmond collective (CLT) was studied in detail along with prominent precedent studies of CLT construction includes Barretts Grove, Trafalgar Development and Jeweller Studio in London.

From these projects, CLT is appropriate for creating internal spaces for temporary accomodations and other supporting facilities such as charity shop and soup kitchen. The ground floor however, is made of masonry foundation and walls to introduce robust nature to the whole project. To make a ‘space for exchange’, the central courtyard is open from within but a perforated brick wall from the outside of richmond street, giving out snippets of life in Richmond Collective.

“Without necessarily advocating prescriptive path, our comprehension of the city must nonetheless be enacted” – ‘The Unknown City: Contesting Architecture and Social Space’

by Borden, Rendall, Kerr and Pivaro

Truly in that perspective, the Richmond Street Project takss a socially-embedded approach in redefining the role of the architect and architecture in cities by paving a kind of social movement in the field – an outlet for the ‘marginalised’ people in the city for the future.

charrette Charrette week starts the academic year bringing a host of artists, architects, engineers, designers and thinkers to the University to run a series of week-long projects. Students from a variety of taught design and art courses at undergraduate and master levels join together to devise a combination of creative outputs related to three common themes - Spectacular, Failure, Help. It is intended to be an intensive and enjoyable week where students can experiment in a creative open environment. studio theme ‘Future City: A Space of Exchange’ Understanding the studio theme ‘future city’ and the idea of exchange begins with an intuitive approach to the idea of longevity within communities of the ever-changing urban landscape today. Despite personal experiences and views, one might have on the urban environment mainly global cities that are deemed ‘generic’ by Koolhaas, the notion of this idea does not have a ‘one size fits all’ solution. By analysing the society’s contemporary lifestyle and systems set in place we can embrace and seek new ways to engage with, and influence, the city itself.

Challenging the urban and architectural ‘futures’ of inner city Manchester, the studio takes a strong critical stance toward contemporary neoliberal urban regeneration, which all too often produces placeless generic architecture seemingly for the financial benefit of private real estate investors. To counter these dominant socio-economic agendas, the Richmond Street Project proposed an alternative ‘future’ for Manchester. project phases In this project, there are broken down into four stages from conceptual to the final design, which includes: primer understanding of theme ‘space of exchange’ through Canal City Hakata as a group case study and applying critical thinking skills acquired to a future alternative on East Pilgrim Newcastle proposal staging upon receiving the project brief, the studio went for a site visit to manchester and a field trip to Italy, specifically in Turin and Milan. we went also tasked to do a case study of Fondaizone Prada in groups of 6. hence, curating a programme for the project. realisation intial stages of designing the project. within this timeframe, non-design modules such as Theory into Practice, Thinking Through Making Week, Technical Detailed Study and Professional Practice and Management all feed into the development of the Richmond Street Project. refinement final stages leading up to completed design of the Rchmond Street Project.

Design Brief

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;White Spaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is led by Cynthia Mak and Karl Wong Cynthia and Karl are recent APL MArch graduates and are now looking to develop a service in architectural branding

Themes: branding, culture Output: studio brand and school wayfinding strategy

Through your creative endeavour as students you will likely spend a significant amount of time in the studio. Work space plays an important roll in your time here. As designers we recognise the impact space can have on our behaviours, our mood, our creativity. But so often we do not look at our own studio spaces. We ask for you too turn your gaze inwards, to ask yourselves what you desire out of your space of work - your studio space. Do we need a greater culture of collaboration? Should studio spaces be cast as neutral territories or should they be steeped with character, one that reflects a diverse school population? Armed with this information you will develop a brand, an identity and signage for the studio spaces. You will then make these and unveill them at the exhibition. You decide.

Introduction

Primer demonstrates the studio’s interest in the idea of exchange in future cities in two phases. Working in small groups, the first phase was analysing our given exemplar ‘exchange’ building, Canal City Hakata, having a close read of its architectural merit, historical significance and critical context.The second phase was to propose speculative structures for the East Pilgrim Street (EPS) Masterplan area of Newcastle using the information and qualities discovered by the exemplar.

Context: Canal City Hakata is a modern exemplar of ‘spaces of exchange’ in a form of a one stop destination with fusion between Japanese and American culture. Built in the 1990s as part of urban regeneration in Fukuoka Japan despite facing a dying economic crisis, the project gained international attention with its unique architecture upon its completion. It was an ambitious project due to the scale of the private development as well as the cultural in uence from the Architect in-charge, Jerde Partnership. Being a mixed-use development that is hyper local and hyper global all at once, it was necessary to integrate ‘nature’ as a unifying element such as the iconic man-made canal that mimics the Naka River and greenery along the experiential journey through the spaces to amplify and reiterate the concept of ‘a city within a city’. These ideas of conceptual innovation and symbolism were introduced at a time of uncertainty change and transition in Japan’s social and economic well-being that we think is very admiring and honest in this project.

Final Output of Analogous Drawing Because the approach American architect, Jon Jerde, design his projects is similar to the architectural style of baroque, our analogous drawing composition was inspired by fresco painting where it is a one-point perspective that has a focus amongst a dynamic visual compilation. Pieces of people, things and symbols are seamlessly combined in this massive drawing to re ect the permeability of spaces in Canal City that has allowed people to move freely between all areas linking back to the canal. The sun plaza stage portrays a strong idea of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;exchangeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and by placing it in the middle of the drawing gives further emphasis of its importance of connecting people physically and visually.

Proposed Future Alternative on East Pilgrim Street Masterplan

< initial idea

Stripping away commercialisation of entertainment, hotel and retail centres, our proposed future alternative for the stack site along pilgrim street is the reinvention of authentic urban experience by, in this case, designing communal settings. As a group, we strongly feel that the social well-being and inclusivity of people in an urban city like Newcastle is the way forward to re- new public life of richness and complexity.

A sensory journey and experience is built up through a curated route from the hustle and bustle of Northumberland street to the community-led proposition at the end of the shopping district has allowed us to connect the dots within highly engaging areas of the city. The stark contrast in geometry of plunging a circular organic form within the rigid site is our take on Jon Jerdeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach of making a distinct threshold with its â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;own brandingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of a social setting. The ooring on North- umberland street is cladded with striking colours that continues through to direct people to our proposition.

Introduction

As seen from Primer in the previous chapter, the criticality of the idea of exchange under studio theme of ‘Future City’ is apparent in Canal City Hakata case study and following through that train of thought, is applied in proposing future alternative to East Pilgrim Masterplan (currently taken up by a local independent F&B business, STACK).

The next part of the project is the Staging phase includes a visit to the studio’s given project site, the Gay Village in the City Centre of Manchester and a field trip to Turin and Milan in Italy. Staging consist of three principle of study adapted from MUF Architecture/Art in Making Space in Dalston.

It requires relevant thinking skills that has been acquired to identify and disect Manchester City Centre, studying the social, economic and political aspects of it. Intensive desktop research and a rough sketch of the proposed programme were done prior to the site visit and studio field trip.

Group Case Study: Fondazione Prada in Milan

The studio field trip to Milan and Turin was one of the highlights of the year. The group case study that was given to us was the Prada Foundazione in Milan.

Fondazione Prada is a contemporary art gallery situated in Largo Isarco in Milan. Designed by Rem Koolhaas and his rm OMA, the foundation was located on the site of a former gin distillery. Koolhaas took the industrial character of the existing buildings and added 3 new buildings to the site, with the latest construction La Torre being completed earlier in 2018.

With the additions, the compound consists of a bar, restaurants, book shop, a cinema and a number of gallery spaces.

The Fondazione Prada is a unique installation, due to its unique use of materials used throughout. These vary greatly and are unique in their uses, such as the aluminium foam used in the Podium building, the marble powder-infused white concrete used for the faรงade of La Torre, and the transparent tubes at the base of the tower to separate the compound from the road.

Thinking through Making

Before the the next phase of realsing the project, Thinking Through Making challenges the skills and knowledge acquire during the workshop series in order to produce an explorative model that embodies the theoretical positions of the design project.

Ranging from use of materials such as clay to Virtual Reality to translate an idea, it has cultivate a sense of craftmanship during these session and enhances the creativity of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;makingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

From staging, the relationshp between the street and the building is vital in creating a user experience with the use of texture and colour.

Thus, the selection of materials between them has to be carefully considered. Studying thresholds through planes and negative spaces on a 3 x3 grid to create a journey within an internal environment.

Initial design ideas

site evaluation Richmond Street, Manchester, UK The site occupies a prme location on the Gay Village and is parallel to the infamous Canal Street of Manchester. It sits at the intersection of major roads and pedestrianised streets, with routes leading from the main retail area of building 2

Manchester city centre and neighbouring districts such as Spinningfield, Northern Quarter and Piccadilly. The site is therefore, centrally placed to draw on the unique urban characteristics of its immediate surroundings

building 1

The commercial buzz and cultural vibrancy around the site are the coach station, takeaway food stores, clubs and pubs. Richmond Street is also located between one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal nighttime activity areas centred on Canal Street and around the vicinity. The amount of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;leftoverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; public spaces is both an oppurtunity and a potential problem as poorly undevelop programmes could easily feel lost in between existing buildings.

Outside of the architecture curriculum as seen in the cultural bibliography, working closely with non-profit organisation, North East Solidary Teaching (NEST) and a worldwide educational brand under TEDx Newcastle University continues the trajectory of active participation within the community.

Newcastle University Architectural Society (NUAS) Small Talk Series Perry Kulper spoke about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Spatial Speciesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and how spaces are represented quite graphical abstract yet evoke some kind of feeling towards an audience.
