Tutors: Hugh McEwen & Catrina Stewart With Greg Nordberg

Unit F has challenged the ideology of privatisation by developing projects for a new civic architecture in Whitechapel.

Throughout history, both local and national businesses in the UK have been nationalised for public benefit. Currently these companies, which have been state financed, are being sold off or shrunk in the name of austerity, leading to private profit from them. We believe that the public should benefit from these organisations, and will go one step further. To this end, the unit has developed approaches for a new civic architecture, and used it to nationalise a formerly private business in Whitechapel.

A civic piece of architecture is one that has spaces that the public can use, as well as symbolising this use to the public.Via a thorough research structure through the year, students generated a civic architecture from materials, to elements, and into entire buildings. Alongside this, we have built on the historic strength of representation and narrative in Unit F by pushing these aspects through skills workshops.

Unit F is interested in projects that change society.

THE MODEL CITY The project aims to tackle the issues of planning, making the previously unapproachable system more accessible to the public. This will be achieved by using a variety of methods, such as 1:1 facades of proposed plans and an alterable model that will make proposed plans more readable to the public, which the architecture is affecting. Through these methods, a new style of planning will address some of the key issues that is still maintained in planning to achieve a style of planning that the public is involved within.

THE POLITICAL PLAYGROUND The present political system shows signs of strain and disconnection. Public events that have taken place could have been avoided with the proper education of politicians. A re-construction of the ‘Toynbee Hall’ model proposes political and economic change through practical methods of correction. This reverses the occupy movement, whereby mismanaged institutions are occupied by their own students.

The housing of political students, providing public political debates, events, and public facilities will take place within the civic building with the aim of aiding the area and creating a more connected new generation of political elite.

THE RATION DEPARTMENT OF WHITECHAPEL The project explores the problem of food waste on a local and global scale and introduces rationing of food production and distribution to avoid unnecessary waste. The route wraps around the building allowing users to engage with various government services, such as council tax and household bills, as they join one queue for all services. The top floor works as a government printing press which uses traditional lino cuts to print ration books and propaganda posters. While in the queue, people are educated by the lino cladded walls about healthy nutrition and food waste. The exterior cladding of the building informs the public about the benefits of rationing and the sevices it offers.

THE PEOPLE’S PRINT HOUSE The People’s Print House is a reaction to the election fraud of Luftur Rahman, and how the freedom of the press exposed this corruption. The investigative journalism of Telegraph reporter Andrew Gilligan demonstrated a triumph of democracy and the power of the people. The People’s Print House therefore aims to emphasise the importance of communication through words and speech. It offers elocution lessons for the community of Whitechapel to gain confidence in public speaking, and also houses a printing press which distributes their local newspaper The Tower Chronicle.

THE URBAN RECYCLING FARM Urban Recycling Farm deals with recycling food waste by turning it into carefully processed pig swill or by giving it back to the community as dried or pickled food. It begins with Stepney City Farm’s ‘Pig Idea’ of reducing food waste by processing it as pig food, while accommodating a pig farm which helps sustain a healthy community. The building works around generating a food chain/cycle that is more sustainable and generates little to zero waste. It consists of a pub, a pig petting area, a store, a kitchen and abattoir, food drying and pickling areas and a pig farm. It aims to change the way people see farm animals and show them different ways of generating food while reducing waste, by bringing the farm within the centre of the city.

THE NEW REFRESHMENT ROOM The project aims to tackle the issue of food waste in Whitechapel by converting the unsold fruit from the local market into both alcoholic and non-alcoholic wine. The design aims to communicate the importance of re-using waste in a city, such as London, that generates a great amount of waste daily. The main core of the building, a public auditorium, will act as an educational centre where the local community of Whitechapel can learn about the process of wine-making as an alternative way to see waste.

Tickets for the auditorium will be sold in exchange for fruit, encouraging the community to recycle.

THE CARBON COLLECTIVE Air pollution in London is an epidemic scarcely recognised, with one in twelve deaths linked to airborne pollutants. therefore the time has come for the government to take action. Located beside the Royal London Hospital, the Carbon Collective is a pilot scheme revolutionising how the city deals with waste air, and provides a much needed Clean Air Zone for vulnerable citizens. Carbon Fixers turn airborne carbon into a commodity, creating cosmetics and selling them onsite. This allows the collective to fund its own development, as it continues to raise awareness and provide a blue print for future polluted air treatments.

RECYCLED SUGAR The East End was once renowned for its many sugar refineries and yet today there is only one. This project proposes a prototype for reopening sugar refineries in Tower Hamlets opposite the site of the last operating refinery in Whitechapel. These refineries will be operating with a subtle difference, refining the sugar from residential food waste. In response to the newly imposed sugar tax, this project aims to reengage the public with their sugar consumption and to critique the implementation of the tax. The ÂŁ520m that sugar tax will generate per year will provide the funding for my building.

The large heat output created from refining sugar is also reused for growing tea plants, through hydroponics, for users to buy and consume as an additional income.

A PLACE TO PLAY A development of my dissertation, ‘No Ball Games Allowed’, A Place To Play holds a new branch of the government’s health and safety department with regards to play. It includes an open playground where the employees learn as the children play, aiming to create a new type of play for the modern city. The central office space is surrounded by play floors, where play is separated into Individual, Open, Traditional, Construction and Learning play. Constructed from concrete and clad in a polyurethane play floor, safe play occurs in an apparently dangerous area, a remark to play in the modern city.

THE LIVING CEMETERY The Living Cemetery, developed from the Romanian Merry Cemetery, explores a new, positive approach to mourning: the celebration, laughter and joyfulness of the departed life. The journey of life is portrayed by the critical study of Francisco Salamone’s cemeteries, through three distinct phases: the citizen (banqueting chapel) the worker, (the crematorium) and death (the celebration tower). The growing population is increasingly stretching the existing death infrastructure to its limit both in demands for space and finances. Future societies must now seek to integrate life and death in an entwined singular typology.

CO-OP THEATRE OF WHITECHAPEL A never ending problem in the modern political scene is the controversial topic of the privatisation of prisons. Many claim that the movement which started in the 80s, created a profit-driven environment where prisons are increasingly a source of income and have little to do with training and rehabilitation.

The project offers a space that aims to improve the social rehabilitation of ex-convicts by offering a place to work, create and receive counselling. A public co-op theatre, located where the old Royal Theatre was situated, is run by ex-prisoners and will revive the cultural centre of Whitechapel. Reimagining elements of the Panopticon, one can either stand within the view of the public eye, or chose to stay outside of public reach.

Cyclists will access the building via the cycle superhighway, which runs along the front of the site. After visiting the counselling centre, cyclists and HGV drivers should have a better understanding of the problems faced by one another on roads. The building will feature spaces inspired by visibility splays and turning circles, and narrow and exposed spaces. Rooms which allow conversations and debates to take place will also be present to allow the road users to become more considerate of each other, resulting in a reduced amount of road related incidents.

WHITECHAPEL’S EDUCATIONAL URBAN FARM Whitechapel Road was declared the unhealthiest street in London this year, surveyed by the RSPH, with an increasing number of fast food outlets opening. Low prices and lack of knowledge on nutrition meant that locals would indulge in health inflicting food. Whitechapel’s Educational Urban Farm will address this crisis, educating and equipping the residents with essential cooking skills, a healthy lifestyle and how to grow their own vegetables. The intention is to challenge local fast food outlets with cheap, healthy and authentic Bangladeshi dishes. All produce will be grown on site and maintained by students as part of their education.

THE ALEPPO ALLEGORY The Aleppo Allegory is a textile centre run by Syrians, building on their historic knowledge of carpet production. The Aleppo Allegory will be the new base for the Syrian industry while the war in Syria is preventing it from existing in their home land. The building focuses on Syrian orphans, as over 50% of refugees are below 15. The children will teach the people of Whitechapel Syrian skills such as weaving, checkers, cooking and general history. This knowledge transfer will help to combine the two communities by breaking existing immigration stereotypes in the UK. At night the public will practice their weaving, and by day the children will weave to deal with their PTSD. The children’s tapestries will be stored in an archive to ensure the war in Syria is never forgotten.

It will act as a prototype in Whitechapel aiming to prevent gambling being a source of crime, ensure gambling is conducted fairly and to protectvulnerable people from being exploited by gambling.

Instead of wagering with pounds, the building will circulate a local currency made from recycled aluminium cans, collected from the local area. The currency is then to be gambled with or can be spent on local businesses. The player’s losses will benefit the community as well as educating them on the poor nature of gambling.

NATIONALISING CO-OPERATION In my first semester project I looked at wax as a building material and how East London beekeeping organisations could work together in a small parliamentary space and a harmonious beekeeping garden, which would include a ground floor cafe with melting wax walls. In the second semester I looked at bringing religious groups together in one parliamentary space where they could help bring about peaceful change. They would help the most in need in society, such as those in poverty, refugees and the homeless, by interecting with each other in a food bank and restaurant.

he craft of the architect is mediated through the process of building; it is not direct. This craft is in the approach and process, the drawings and writing of architecture, but could it also be seen in the buildings constructed by worker’s hands, rather than the architect’s? In short, how can architecture be crafted by the architect when it is mediated by construction?

It was with a view to finding this crafted quality that we began to explore Vienna, where we first visited the work of Coop Himmelb(l)au. The composition of these structures seemed to owe more to sculpture, and yet, as with sculpture, the necessity of casting and forming led to the use of professional makers and builders. While visiting the Coop Himmelb(l)au studio, the discussion with design partner Karolin Schmidbaur turned naturally to this point. How did they retain the architects hand in the work?

WE WERE GIVEN AN ANECDOTE While making a physical model for a certain project, she noticed a particularly alluringly shaped piece of sellotape. The final building ended up with a window that is an exact copy of the original tape.

By using analogue means to create, and then digital means to fabricate, the office had enabled a direct translation of the architect’s hand.

As illustrated by this, the techniques of the translation through this mediation become so important to maintaining craft. This is through the material control or specification of what is built. It can also be in a more direct way, as we found out.

As we toured the Kunsthaus in Graz, we were told an apocryphal story of the architect’s hand. While on a site visit to see the steel frame of the building going up, Peter Cook was so taken with a view up to the Schloss that – mid way through construction - he redirected one of the eyes, the nozzles, of the building to point at the castle’s clock. The craft of an architect was directly translated into the building, in a most unusual way.

We had spent the previous term developing a social architecture, following a close reading of John Ruskin. Ruskin directly related the quality of architecture to the evidence of craft in its making. In his mind, if a building had been made with obvious collaboration of labour, then the building was “living architecture”. In this way, there was “value of the appearance of labour upon architecture” as well as value in the functional building itself. This craft like nature is from the builder, but also the architect controlling the production of the architecture they have crafted, and the crafting of the building.

These techniques, of both material approach and direct interaction, find themselves exemplified in the work of Hundertwasser. His work crosses the line between art and architecture, which seems so verdant again with the work of Assemble. The direct making of his rchitectural ceramics and the translation of his paintings – one project includes a large scale replica of his hat – into buildings, suggests that it is the techniques and also the position of the architect that enable this approach to be taken.

But in Vienna, we also find the exactly opposite approach, that of Hans Hollein or Adolf Loos, where any craft-like quality is absolutely suppressed. Loos, who famously decried ornament as crime, stated that the way workmen added detail to their surroundings was tantamount to graffiti. As such, the quality of craft in the architecture, especially in Ruskin’s terms, is completely lost. Luckily for us however, the craft of making a good cocktail has not been lost in Loos’ American Bar.
