The area I chose is called valance park, it is surrounded by greenery and a playground where there will be lots of children and parents therefore it will encourage them to come and give the youth zonea try ,also the entry would only be 50p which means acceptable for anyone.
Brief
There is also a school nearby and a museum that are also components that will attract people to this side of the town
The whole point of this structure will be to keep the people of the street and make a safer community also provide people with job opportunities
The area where valancepark is located is called Dagenham, which isn’t a very wealthy or privileged town, therefore I took this opportunity to develop this idea of creating a zone where people can feel supported and somewhat significant.
For Component 1 I thought and have decided to design a youth zone for children ,teens and adults who need some time off to relax and have fun.
Location
I have decided to research and design a youth zone centre in this area of the park as I believe it will attract towards this new and fun building not only children but any age citizen that comes to the park.
Because there is a school nearby and it will be located in a park there will be a bigger amount of children and that will make it easier to spread the word about this new project on site

Park on the grounds of a former manor house offering a fishing lake, playground & open lawns
Parking is free for all users. The car park type is open air/surface. The car park is in the middle of the park off Becontree Avenue.
This architectural plan will have a big impact on this side of the community and will encourage people to be more interactive
This park features an attractive tree lined lake. It offers space for information recreation for dog walking, jogging and a children's playground
I will be working on the far back side of the park as there are not that many people or children that travel that far because there is nothing there to do
Valance park is the site I have decided to work with as I believe it has many opportunities
Valance park (Located in Dagenham )
o The park was once the grounds and garden of valence Manor House , now the borough's museum.
o Valence Houseserved as the town hall until 1937, when the Dagenham Civic Centre was completed
Information about the location
o Valance house museum, Heritage Study Centre and local library are all situated on the edge of the park on Becontree Avenue
o Valence House Museum is the only surviving manor house in Dagenham
o In 1926, the LCClaid out 24 acresof the old Valence lands as a public park, two-thirds for informal recreationwith open space, grass and some trees.
o Various facilities were provided, a bandstand and formal planting, but the majority has now gone, including its openair swimming pool, which closed in 1971. Facilities at the site include a children’s play area,four football pitches and a fishing lake
Theme- organic forms

These fountains are designed to look like umbrellas or organic form of a mushroom
These three primary picture have a similar shape and therefore I decided to uses these for my research
This is a photo of some long flowers surrounded by grass, ii drew the outline and then made it lighter and connected the top of every flower to create a structure
Primary photos-organic forms
I took this picture of the walls inside a salt mine in Romania, they have a very interesting shaped that I think I can use for my future designs
This is a lake in turkey, I simplified the picture and did some sketches on top to try to create a structure

Seoul Youth Zone ShippingContainer Building, South Korea
It provides an area full of comfort. The first space created with shipping container is utilised as a mini lounge receiving natural light.
There is start up and creative activities area on the second floor, six office spaces line up side by side with an inner balcony type hall overlooking the lower atrium.
Here visitors can have freedom to rest, communicate and enjoy an exhibition everywhere in the staircase.

The two inclined sloping containers are the space for stairs and exhibition
Inspiration: Warrington youth zone
Warrington Youth Zone is a brand new youth charity which will build upon the success, values and legacy of Warrington Youth Club
The Youth Zone will open 7 days a week, offering over 20 activities every night for just 50p per visit, providing thousands of young people somewhere, to go, something to do and someone to talk to.

eye catching and state of the art Youth Zone for young people, which will attract attention, sit comfortably within its context and provide the highest quality facilities, which can inspire young people for generations to come.
The distinctive Y shape creates clearly defined zones for the different activities of the Youth Zone.
natural drop off in front of the main entrance; an area for parking minibuses, staff cars and for maintenance; and a skate zone overlooked by the café.
repeating triangular colour coated aluminium slats, which offer a varied perspective depending on the angle from which they are seen – bringing a kinetic energy to the building.
The exterior design with its elegantly curved facades responds to the geometry of the building to provide a beacon instantly recognizable by passing motorists and pedestrians.
designs allow for easy maintenance and low cost in use matched by a grass roots approach to sustainability underpinned by passive measures rather than bolt on technologies.
high levels of insulation, rooflights to the sports hall incorporating photovoltaic panels and a green roof to reduce water run off.
I joined all the corners to try and create a more linear shape and this very intriguing design came out. I could use this structure for a pavilion as it’s more complicated and interesting
Card models
I used the structure of mountains for this design but mostly the peaks were my inspiration for this quick card model as I think they could create a very geometric captivatinganddesign for any type of building
Model 1
Interior design
Card models
This card model was encouraged by the swirly and circular shape of these types of shells but I decided to make it more distinctive by not making the lines round and in fact drawing them straight with a ruler
The straight lines make this design look more realistically like a building structure
Then by joining the lines together it showed how the model would look like if it was an enclosed area
Model 2
Interior design
This simple curved design was based of a tree trunk which is also an organic form that has a circular and tall form
Tree trunks are the very vital as they represent the support of the branches and at the same time nutrients pass through there from the root to the leaves
The texture of a tree trunk is mostly uneven and has ridges which gave me the idea that buildings should not always be fixed
The root of a tree can be depicted as the foundation of a building that supports the building itself and the branches can be seen as the roof that produces shelter
Model 3
Interior design
For this model I used the organic form of a rose but I mostly focused on the middle of the flower
I really like the outcome of this structure before and after I joined the lines together so that the design is more suitable for a building
I firstly did the outline of the middle interior of the rose which helped me design and create this
Since the roses have a more circular line design I decide to sharpen the lines to make it more squared
Final model
Interior design
I used a knife to slowly and carefully cut the outside skin of the apple and it created some interesting unregulated shapes, then I picked them up and dropped them on a table so that it could be more random
I have used issuu for more information as well as extra inspiration and I have found a student that had the idea to use fruits to create an abstract structure so I decided to use apple shavings
After I took pictures from different sides, I started by drawing the outline
I think the drawings are very peculiar but I like the outcome, so from these I will try and create a youth zone out of these
Experimentation
Models
I drew the outline of the shape and then used different shades of grey that represent the pieces of the structure that are closer or further away
For this design I arranged the apple shaving on the table creating a more circular shape and it reminded me of a rose
This is the structure but the building itself will have about 3 floors with many rooms
The building wont be a perfect circle, it will be made from three different sized ovals overlapping each other
