Introduction
CROSSING THE MEDITERRANEAN: A FATAL JOURNEY
The Mediterranean Region has seen an upsurge in migrants fleeing persecution, conflict and poverty. A record number are set to drown this year if the current death rate remains unchecked, after 10 times as many lost their lives during the first three months of 2015 as during the dame period in 2014 (International Organisation for Migration, 2015). Syrians and Eritreans represent the highest percentage of migrants that have arrived on the Island of Lampedusa this past year. Deaths have amplified this last year, largely due to the number of migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean which has led to fatalities. Reasons for this are not clear, but could be due to escalating numbers of migrants attempting to reach Europe. In 2014, 112,000 fluctuating numbers of migrants were discovered by Italian authorities. Policies now reflect prioritisation as being search and rescue, this is in response to the high numbers across the Mediterranean. This has led to many thousands of lives being saved. Although measures are now in place global figures still do not portray the accurate rate of fatalities, as many of the unrecorded deaths may occur in the remote areas of the region. It has been reported that boats and the people on board have been lost at sea without there being any details of their death ever being recorded. It has been estimated by some experts that for every deceased person found on urbanised land that two other people are never found (Weber and Pickering, 2011).

Introduction At the heart of many political and humanitarian debates are issues related to borderedrelated deaths. It is claimed by many that there is a soaring “human cost� connected to border control policies of many of the European States. It has been professed that the increase in deaths is due to migrants looking to move covertly along the more dangerous routes in order to prevent detection from the authorities. The migrants turn to smugglers to gain entry through sometimes treacherous waters in order to evade the stringent entry requirements. This only opens up a new set of dangers as it can often put the migrant at risk of abuse extortion and in many cases lead to fatalities (UNODC, 2011). The indiscretion of this type of migration means that authorities are often unaware of what is happening and therefore cannot offer protection to the migrant thus leaving the migrants vulnerable to the criminal offenders who will only seek to profit from now what has become very lucrative process (Esses, et al, 2013). Furthermore, after closure of Mare Nostrum, an EU funded search and rescue vessel and Europe’s only Immigration Reception Facility in Lampedusa, Italy these figures are going to increase (Moorhead, 2014). This report will demonstrate how I will attempt to tackle this current issue surrounding immigration in the Mediterranean, through our group urban strategy and the introduction of an Immigration Reception Facility in Marseille.

Introduction
MARSEILLE HISTORY
Since the 19th Century (partly due to its geographical location) Marseille has become a major first point of settlement for a diverse group of migrants. This is what makes it more distinct and sets it apart from other French cities. As seen in the analysis diagram opposite it became a staging post for long distance migrations from all over the world (mainly the Mediterranean). The port itself had many assets during this time period. Economic players, industrial development and new markets opening up the colonial empire. Furthermore the inauguration in 1869 of the Suez Canal boosted sea exchanges. It became the “Gateway to the East�. It became a major industrial city in 1872 when ship repairs took off. It was ranked fourth in the world (behind Liverpool, New York and London) as it attracted new activities and a permanent import-export trade (Aissaoui, 2008).

Introduction During the second half of the twentieth century Marseille was affected by global phenomena that had implications for this port city opening up to the Mediterranean. The city did not recover very easily from the destruction of the Second World War. The port industry declined rapidly whose major operation veered away from Fos. Additionally it was subjected to the shock of decolonisation from both an economic and migratory point of view. In 1962 the city took in numerous Algerian immigrants and a large workforce from the Maghreb region. These people were housed in new buildings at the time in districts North and East of the city. Urbanisation spread up into the hills and then across them to form what is in fact a vast agglomeration joining up cities of Aix, Martigues and Aubagne. The metropolitan area has more than 1.5 million people living, studying and working in it. However there is mixed views of it. On one hand there is a poor city characterised by criminal gangs but on the other hand there is an attractive, lively city where culture and tourism have become prime factors for economic development (Maussen, 2009).

Introduction Marseille is a vibrant port city and has been for centuries. It has had very strong connections with the rest of the Mediterranean for a long time, and has had a particularly strong connection with the Maghreb region throughout. The French conquests of 1830 onward saw the colonisation of Algeria and Marseille has therefore been deemed as the key ‘gateway’ to Europe for North Africa ever since. The Nazi occupation of Marseille during the Second World War caused many North Africans to flea the country, however the liberation of France and in turn, Marseille, encouraged their return along with over a million further immigrants to France. Furthermore, following the independence of Algeria in 1962, the city saw the influx of around 150,000 Algerians, many of whom have since stayed, contributing to Marseille’s diverse demography (Maussen, 2009).

Brief/Concept
URBAN DESIGN STRATEGY: ARRIVAL, OPPORTUNITY, INTEGRATION As a way of tackling the Mediterranean immigration issue, the urban design strategy consists of signing Marseille up to a network of secondary ports across the Mediterranean as shown in the model I made opposite. Throughout history, port cities have been vibrant places, with thriving economies due to their trade which brought with them migrants from all over. In recent years however containerisation has seen the overnight decline of many port cities as investment has been plunged into a small number of large ports and secondary port cities have subsequently suffered. The project proposes a series of freeports within secondary port cities within the Mediterranean. As part of the wider proposal for Marseille as an independent city state to join the Arab Maghreb Union, Marseille will be home to one of these freeports. Along with the free movement of goods within a new network of port cities, will be the free movement of people. This in turn will reinvigorate the economies of these cities within the Mediterranean celebrating the arrival of migrants, offer the opportunities of enterprise and ultimately aid in the integration into existing communities.

The ‘Arab Maghreb Union’ was formally established in 1989 to construct political and economic unity between member nations. Although relatively small in terms of population [88million in 2012], it is home to large phosphate, oil, and gas reserves is a ‘transit centre to southern Europe’
Algeria
Mauritania has the lowest population
within the region and is the poorest with is GDP per capita sitting at just $2200 USD. Its slavery has been deemed a human rights issue [human rights watch]. It has had links with France for a long time from whom it gained independence in 1960.
as with the majority of the Maghreb, was occupied by the French and was only liberated during the mid-twentieth century. Therefore its French influence can still be felt today. The links between the two countries have been recently strengthened with the 2006 nuclear power agreement which will see the creation of a new plant operational from 2019.

Its oil reserves have arguably put the country in the international spotlight for decades, however its more recent unrest of 2011 during the Arab Spring saw the country plunged into turmoil and the outbreak of a full-scale revolt.
MARSEILLE & THE MAGHREB
has had strong links with France and Spain for centuries having been occupied by both simultaneously. The’Kingdom of Morocco’ was founded in 1956 when the country gained independence, however influences of both nations still live on. Marseille is twinned with Marrakech
has probably the strongest and most long standing links with France with it being one of its longest held overseas territories. Marseille is home to over 150,000 Algerians - which is the most of all foreign nationalities at 18% of its population.
Marseille has had connections with the Maghreb Region for many years, which has lead many commentators to suggest that it’s associations with Africa are stronger than those with Europe. 23

Brief/Concept
MARSEILLE JOINS THE AMU
Formed in 1988
Marseille has had connections with the Maghreb region throughout history and coupled with growing the political tensions within France currently, Marseille is conveying a disconnect with the establishment of Paris which is stronger than ever. With a significant portion of the population of the city being migrants who do not have the right to vote, and the mainstream parties facing pressure from the far right to reduce further, public sector provision, the needs of the currently disjointed and impoverished communities are not likely to be met in future years. The project proposes the establishment of Northern Marseille as an independent city state and a member of the Arab Maghreb Union. There will be free movement of goods and labour within the union a new government elected by everyone currently residing in North Marseille.

The Marseille Immigration Reception Facility is embedded within the urban design strategy located to the North of Marseille in one of the infamous northern ‘quartiers’. This will become the new immigration hub for these new migrant communities arriving whilst also dealing with the social tensions of the existing migrant colonies living in tough high rise tower blocks.

Marseille is one of the Mediterranean’s most important ports and throughout its long history, many nationalities have docked there and been assimilated into the city, turning it into a cultural melting pot. Marseille is a hive for immigrants trying to find space for their new lives and old culture, even as both evolve into something different.

There are currently five passenger ferries that arrive into the Port of Marseille everyday. Records have been broken once again this year, with 2.4 million passengers travelling through the port (up 4% compared to 2013).

Brief/Concept
WELCOMING IMMIGRATION
The gap between the ideology of the French far right and social landscape of Marseille is widening and the rise of the ‘Front National’ Party is a reflection of this. With Marine Le Pen as leader of the party publicly declaring her disdain for the needs of ethnic minorities, many in Marseille are the target of her campaign. During a time where Muslims in France have been forced to pray on the streets due to a shortage in Mosques, Pen denounced such activity, deeming it to be ‘public disorder’ (Lichfield, 2015). The far right are avid campaigners against immigration and are keen to associate the social problems within France and particularly Marseille with those originally from overseas. The project aims strongly to aid in solving these issues from a polar opposite stand point. The proposal welcomes further immigration and relies upon the rise of new industry and enterprise, stimulated by a new freeport and an agreement with the Maghreb to provide jobs as well as public services funded by the new city state.

CULTURE SHOCK: BREAKING DOWN THE BARRIER
Culture shock is the personal disorientation a person may feel when experiencing an unfamiliar way of life due to immigration or upon visiting a new country. There are four phases: 1) Honeymoon 2) Negotiation/Frustration 3) Adjustment 4) Mastery The barriers listed below contribute to causing culture shock: - language barrier - generation gap - information overload - technology gap - skill independance - homesickness There is no true way to entirely prevent culture shock as individuals in any society are personally affected by cultural contrasts differently (Ward et al, 2005). However the Marseille Immigration Reception Facility will attempt to break down the barriers concerned with culture shock as will see in the next chapter.

HISTORICAL PRECEDENT: ELLIS ISLAND NEW YORK, USA
Ellis Island has two faces. It was seen as “THE ISLAND OF HOPE” for many as one side faces the Statue of Liberty, a welcoming beacon and gateway symbolising a new promised land. It was also seen as the “THE ISLE OF TEARS” with the other side facing Lower Manhattan with it’s densely packed grey buildings, forbidding as it was beckoning. The two faces reflected government policy for immigrant processing. Newcomers from first/second class passed straight through whilst the rest had to pass through Ellis Island. Admitting the fit and excluding the weak and hopeless (Hine et al, 1997). It was designed to intimidate while it inspired also (seen as a “palace” welcoming newcomers). The following page analyses the journey the migrant took through the building having read a number of short stories within the book “Ellis Island: Echoes from a Nation’s Past” by by Lewis Hine et al. Although this was a very harsh way of immigrant processing, the fact that it created a set of visually charged spaces that evoked memory on the migrant and that it was the first architectural experience of this new promised land is what I want to take forward into my design.

The immigrants arrived at the top of another staircase at the other end of the Great Hall. This staircase had three aisles. Immigrants who were being detained were often brought down the center aisle. People who were traveling west or south walked down the right side of the staircase. Those going to New York City or to the north walked down the left side. Legal detainees lived in a dormitory room on the third floor. These were more like pens and they werre very overcrowded. They might wait a few days or even a month. Then their case would be reviewed in the Hearing Room but ost likely they were sent back via ferry/ship.

“Memory is not about remembering a fact or about recalling information. Memory is the complete intellectual and emotional immersion in the event itself. It is about understanding in depth the consequences of the event both backwards and forwards in history. It has to resonate in the soul. Without that resonance we would just be machines, robots with no empathy or understanding about what those facts mean for ourselves or for others. Memory is a key dimension for orientation in our lives, and architecture is all about orientating people.� Daniel Libeskind
Brief/Concept
MEMORY
I want to create a set of visually charged spaces that will trigger memorable moments for the migrant as they move through the building. I want to engage memory through the visceral experience of the migrant by intensifying their emotions. I believe memory is a fundamental way to orient the emotion, the mind and the soul. These emotions initially will not be positive for the migrant as I want to create a sense of anticipation and trepidation but then will open out into soothing spaces taking them on an emotional journey. This will be done through light, through proportions, through acoustics, through materials, and through the language of architecture.

CURRENT PRECEDENT: LAMPEDUSA IMMIGRANT RECEPTION CENTRE ISLAND OF LAMPEDUSA, ITALY Lampedusa Immigrant Reception Centre is seen as “THE ISLAND OF HOPE” for migrants of North Africa crossing the Africa-Europe border across the Mediterranean in search of a better life (Davies, 2013). It has become a primary European entry point and place of “transit” for the migrants of North Africa and afar. The compassionate welcome from islanders is at odds with Italy’s harsh immigration laws. It was a successful as a reception centre up until 2009 where an unexpected increase in migrants caused overcrowded conditions and since forced its closure. It is the first step in a registration process that can take up to one month and is a closed “contention” facility guarded by police (World Health Organisation, 2011). The following page analyses the journey the migrant took through the building. This was done after reading the Parliamentary Assembly Council of Europe Report on Lampedusa in 2011. Although this centre diminished due to overcrowding, I was able to take a lot of the successful processes involved forward and implement them within my scheme.

Immigrants disembark boats and as each boat arrived at the port, anxious smiles were clearly visible on the faces of the migrants. Some dropped to their knees and prayed on the edge of the dock.
Migrants arrive at the dockside feeling ecstatic that they have arrived. They are then identified and separated if they are an asylum seeker. They are channelled into one or the other depending on either bus during transfers.
Migrants are screened and quarantined if theey have a contagious disease. There is also basic emergency medical care and referred to specialised health centres if the condition is bad.

Migrants are first processed by Italian police at Lampedusa’s two centres and are given hot meals, access to showers and beds. The centre has a capacity of 800 beds however in recent years due to the influx there was a total of 2800 at one point and it became overcrowded so tents were used. (16)

Italian police on Lampedusa told IRIN that migrants are issued with new shoes and clothes before they leave the holding centres. Futhermore there is cultural and linguistic mediation as well as pschosocial assitance if need be. Also migrants will be catered for.
A designated ferry then transports migrants from Lampedusa to Sicily several times a week. Next, they are allocated to holding centres in places such as Mineo, Naples or Bari, where it takes 7-30 days to receive a six-month visa.

ADAPTABILITY
The main reason for the failing of the Lampedusa reception centre in Italy was due to an influx in Syrian refugees in 2008 (Tayler, 2014). The centre became overcrowded as a result. Therefore it is integral for my design to be capable of expanding and adapting to cope with with an increase in occupancy level in the future. Poetically an architectural expression I would like to make would be for the ad-hoc modular structure to expand southwards “engulfing” and finally inhabiting the ground floor of Zaha Hadid’s CMA CGM Tower. The CMA CGM has a large ship container trade, one of the third biggest in the world. In essence there are two opposite trades occupying the same land. One being a building to welcome the people from the poorest continent in the world whilst the other is the result of modern capitalism. It is therefore my intention to completely ignore the CMA CGM Tower and expand these modules southwards, even touching the Tower as if it wasn’t even there. Similar to the congregating of slums around expensive high rise accommodation in Mumbai.

With the amount of migrant deaths rising over the past year whilst crossing the fatal Mediterranean Sea in search of a better life, EU leaders hold a crisis summit to seek a solution to this current political dilemma. The Marseille Immigration Reception Facility is an alternative route the EU could take in tackling this current immigration issue. PRIMARY ROUTE PULLING EXISTING COMMUNITIES DOWN BOULEVARD
CREATING A NEW SECONDARY ROUTE
CONNECTION TO CITY
Brief/Concept
OUTLINE
As part of a wider urban design strategy consisting of signing Marseille up to a network of secondary ports across the Mediterranean, making them into freeports thus allowing the free movement of labour and goods between them. This in turn will reinvigorate the economies of these cities within the Mediterranean celebrating the arrival of migrants, offer the opportunities of enterprise and ultimately aid in the integration into existing communities. The Marseille Immigration Reception Facility will be the transitional phase from ‘Arrival’ into ‘Opportunity’. As you can see the current masterplan concept shows the powerful route that was created to pull existing segregated communities down through the boulevard enticing them with services such as education and market place, echoeing notions of Brick Lane in Spitalfields. I will now propose that this design will create a new secondary route connecting the initial point of entry to the new key ‘Opportunity’ phase which will provide accommodation and employment for these new migrant communities.

POSITION The initial reasoning for the position of Marseille’s Immigration Reception Facility delved into the notion of chaos and order. Where the flyover interweaves appears very chaotic with either side the current masterplan has attempted, in essence to create order to these new migrant settlers.
Brief/Concept
“CONFLICT OF CULTURES”
On the other hand it can be noted that these two concepts can mean the total opposite. The flyover could be perceived as an astonishing piece of engineering, ordering traffic to and from the city centre. Whilst the masterplan scheme containing an ad-hoc modular system with a souk market on ground floor level will be chaotic. The positioning also relates well to the chaotic conflict between the emerging migrant and the French national.

MARSEILLE IMMIGRATION RECEPTION FACILITY
It was establshed early on in the project that my scheme would solely be an Immigration Reception Facility. Marseille’s current ferry terminal located southwards of the facility has only recently been built in 2013. It was therefore concluded that it would not be viable to create a new ferry terminal. Instead migrants travellling by ferry from the Maghreb-Arab Union and afar will arrive at Marseille’s ferry terminal before being placed on secondary smaller vessel. As you can see in the model opposite shows the route the migrant will take from Marseille’s ferry terminal to the Marseille’s new Immigration Reception Facility.

Here are some early conceptual sketches of my scheme. Early intentions from the start was to create a linear building that would span from the initial entry point into the opportunity phase. Reorienting the site towards its own play of space. Ordering the site across lines which cut themselves off from the web. Paths started to cross and out of the block, buildings who’s vectors emerge. Firstly started looking into Daniel Libeskind’s early work especially ‘Berlin City Edge’, this project weaves in a tight structure of place and structure bearing the scars of history. This linear structure is what I want to accentuate within my design.

Brief/Concept
An initial idea was to have a chaotic entrance to the reception facility as way of expediting the honeymoon phase concerned with culture shock. Here migrants would have to weave in between staggered steel structures before reaching the entrance. However this was later scrapped as it was decided that migrants will already feel chaotic mentally. Furthermore, the lawcourts intially stood in between the flyover now sit under the flyover as part of a new mini masterplan.

Brief/Concept The previous pages leading up to this shows how my initial conceptual designs have evolved. Similar with this section its interesting to note the key ideas and emotions that have been taken right through up until the final design. As shown here in the sketch section the chaotic steel tubes ahve been abandoned and lawcourts have now moved underneath the flyover.
71
Brief/Concept
However it would this was scrapped and he sketch below was implemented where the migrant would exit down a private ramp as shown which would be more humane rather than a dark lift system that would also be very costly.
An obstacle that I had to overcome through designing the arrival building was the issue concerning privacy. As my intentions is dealing with breaking down the barrier concerned with culture shock, migrants that are rejected after screening would need to exit into the healthcare facility but in a way that would not be in full view of the public which would cause humiliation. One idea was create a lift system as shown in the sketch section which would take the migrant below ground where they would be screened and then exit on a different floor to the one they have just came through.
72
Brief/Concept
Here are some sketches showing the “Limbo� space beneath the flyover. The initial idea was to create a secondary flyover however road that is taken up by this space will be redirected instead. One of the obstacles of this space was the layout. I initially struggled as I wanted this space to be adaptable as it was going to change over time.
As shown abover is a more labyrinth style idea that I had at the start however this would not really be suitable or adaptable enough to cope with the demands of the space. Therefore as shown in the image to the right, a tartan grid was implemented whereby a modular system could be assembled that would tie in nicely with my architectural expressions of the space.
73
Brief/Concept 74
Here is an initial sketch of the modular system that would be used for the local support networks for employment and housing. The idea was to create a lightweight, cheaply clad metal as this “Limbo� space would become stateless sense of architecture. With the arrival and kissing point becoming bespoke, this space underneath the flyover is the uncertain period where the migrant will sort out their needs before finally crossing the transition into Marseille. Therefore I want this to be portrayed with the architectural qualities of the design. Below was an initial sketch of underneath the flyover, however this has now developed as you will see in the design narrative within the following chapter.
Brief/Concept
Left, shows an initial sketch for the transition bridge which will connect the “Limbo� stage to the kissing point over a set of train lines. The concept was to create set of contemplation spaces whereby the migrant will gather their thoughts just before they meet family and friends. This has developed with my final design however the kiosks running down the centre have been scrapped and instead a secondary border control will be implemented which is a more practical solution.
Below, shows the initial kissing point sketch. The main concept was the compression of the bridge. As migrants enter they will be overwhelmed and will heighten the sense of elation as they enter into a much taller, comfortable space. This has followed through into my final design and its interesting to look back once you have read the full report.

Migrants will disembark vessels onto a 4m raised platform with an initial sense of hope and euphoria. Before entering Marseille’s Immigration Reception Facility, migrants will place their baggage onto a separate structure.

PROCESSING: BORDER CONTROL Migrants will then enter the processing phase. There will be a build up of anticipation as migrants are identified at the primary border control. The intention of this space is a funnelling effect in which migrants are made to feel a sense of trepidation. The reason for this is to expedite the “Honeymoon� phase of culture shock. It is also to make the next part of the journey more soothing and memorable to the migrant as they enter the key space. If their is any legal complications and migrants are rejected they will exit discreetly down a staircase and into a holding facility. Migrants who exit this way will therefore not become embarrassed after being rejected. They will then be held in temporary accommodation whilst awaiting a tribunal that may take a number of weeks.

Migrants with health problems will exit through a different passageway to a separate health care facility. Again the design of the private exit is key in not making the migrant feel humiliated after finding out they have a health issue.

Successful migrants will then enter the “Limbo” phase where they will reclaim their baggage. The reason for them being “in limbo” is because they haven’t yet entered France. In order to bypass the next border control they must firstly enrol into the housing support network and employment support network. Without these documents they will not be able to enter Marseille. Within this phase will be a currency exchange, kiosks and restaurant. Migrants will usually be spending a number of hours within this space so therefore leisure and gaming facilities will be provided together with a large library. As it is anticipated that many of the migrants passing through the facility will be Muslim, there will be a prayer hall that faces towards Mecca. Although it can be used by other religions too. For families that are passing through, a creche will be available to drop children off whilst they resolve local support network matters. Deliveries for the restaurant will take place to west side loading bay and placed into the storeroom. A tartan grid was implemented to lay out these adaptable modular systems as shown opposite.

The key space captures the Alhambra gardens meeting the souks of Marrakech. A tartan grid has been adopted to lay out the space. The intention of this space is to become soothing for the migrant as they have passed through the laborious processing phase. As you can see in the isometric opposite there is a grand entrance for the migrants from the lawcourts which is pivotal as it opens up this Rogers-esque viewpoint facing the library. This tall space consists of two courtyards, one stone and one light timber separated by a subtle, pure water feature that runs central to the core. Over the years in Northern Africa numerous wars have been fought over water and it is my intention to use water within this space as a way of bringing these migrants together. As shown opposite this central space will become a waiting area for migrants with the souk style local support networks leading off it. This was done as way of breaking down the culture shock barrier in way that subtly reminds migrants of their homeland.

KEY SPACE
Migrants will take a journey through a series of thresholds which leads to the library. A place to educate migrants about this new world they are now entering and bring different nationalities together. The library has inhabited the ground floor of Zaha Hadid’s CMA CGM Tower. This was purposely done as a way of ignoring the polar opposite trade that currently occupies the tower (3rd largest shipping container company in the world).

The point of transition links being in a state of “Limbo” and the Kissing Point. It also bridges across three railway lines that are used mainly for industry. Here the migrant will pass through a secondary border control where they will need to show documents in relation to health, employment and housing. If for some reason they don’t have them, migrants have to be interviewed. However, once migrants pass through this will be a space for contemplation where migrants can gather their thoughts before they reach the end of the journey. Here there will be pods that look back over the railway. It should also be noted that compression of this space (floor to ceiling height of 2.4m) has been deliberate in order to enhance the sense of elation as they exit into the vast Kissing Point.

Biomass is biological material derived from living, or recently living organisms. It most often refers to plants or plant-based materials which are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass. As an energy source, biomass can either be used directly via combustion to produce heat, or indirectly after converting it to various forms of biofuel. In terms of the group urban strategy biomass energy could be generated by recycling waste from the temporary accommodation in the arrival phase, new ad-hoc housing in the opportunity phase and also waste from the existing communities in the integration.

STRUCTURAL AND CONSTRUCTIONAL NARRATIVE: ARRIVAL
Due to its exposed seaside location the building will be subject to heavy weathering with the high salt content of the air speeding up material degradation. A mild steel cladding will be implemented as shown opposite (precedent: Thomas Heatherwick’s East Beach Cafe) with the intention of rusting and gaining significant character over time. It is important to note that an oil based coating will be applied to the mild steel after it has weathered which will prolong the life of the structure. The 30m wide walkway leading up to the building will be supported by vertical 350 UB with a horizontal 2m steel truss above and below. There will also be a piece of steel frame at 5m intervals across the walkway. This will also continue into the building itself but will be connected to 350 UB H section either side which will connect to a 2m truss above. Lateral bracing will connect the bottom of the UB to the steel roof truss above to create a portal frame structure throughout.

The intention of the arrival building was to create a bespoke structure as this will be the first architectural experience the migrant embarks upon when entering Marseille. The concept was to create a monumental structure but one which can adapt. Over time it is anticipated that immigrants emerging in Marseille will rise so therefore the concept here will be for the building to expand. For example In Lampedusa Immigrant Reception Centre in 2008 there was an influx in Syrian refugees, the centre could not cope with the demand and ended up closing. It is therefore essential that increase this is prepared for. As shown in the exploded isometric opposite the profile metal deck and steel frame can be added over time.

Furthermore a separate baggage structure will stand alone as shown here. This will also reflect the same materiality as the arrival building. Steel columns will run at regular intervals up until the “Limbo� stage where it will then descend into it. The mild steel cladding that wil rust over time will be used to shelter the baggage.
Technical and Environmental
A profile metal deck will be implemented as seen in the images opposite. This will be filled with concrete and will be supported using the floor and roof trusses collectively. This is advantageous as solar panels can be attached to the concrete slab providing easy installation and future maintenance. The underside of the profile metal deck as shown opposite will provide a sturdy entrance for the migrant as they descend towards the border control. The solid element of the concrete slab is intended to instil a sense of stability and hope as they enter into their first architectural experience of this new life.

AD-HOC COLD ROLLED MODULAR COMPONENTS
Technical and Environmental 126
The intention of the “Limbo” space beneath the flyover was to create a temporal stateless architecture to accentuate the idea that the migrant is in a zone of uncertainty. They are not quite in Marseille just yet. Structurally I wanted this to be represented as shown in the exploded isometric opposite. A steel structural frame will be laid out across a tartan grid system which is the main component encased in concrete beneath the flyover to mitigate vehicle noise. Over time it is anticipated that this space will change and expand. Therefore the components that exist with this overall substructure need to be flexible and mobile. An ad hoc, modular system will be implemented as shown in the image opposite which will be clad in a cold rolled metal as it is a lightweight material that can be assembled and dissembled quickly. Similar to the systems used in airports however the intention here is to create ‘souk’ type atmosphere which is something they can relate to for example Marrakech Souks (breaking down culture shock). These ad-hoc modules will be made up of a ‘kit of parts’ system. The advantages to this are a reduction in time spent on site and is easier to transport and prefabricate. Furthermore in the future they can also be dissembled and reused elsewhere. The ‘cold rolled’ metal can be sourced locally therefore saving in transport costs. Running in between the flyovers, the height of the space will be 10m above the existing road structure. A portal frame steel structure will support the timber louvre system that has been adopted above as a solar shading strategy. Vertical 350 UB will run along the edge, with a horizontal 2m deep steel truss above whilst ø50 lateral bracing will be used to make up the portal frame as shown opposite.

Furthermore, the ground floor of Zaha Hadid’s CMA CGM tower has been inhabited as a poetic expression to ignore this polar opposite trade. Structurally, I will not disturb the existing structure of the tower however I will insert this modular system within it as shown opposite in the exploded isometric drawing. 127

These sculptures are made of a lightweight aluminum which is fixed to the 350UB steel substructure. It cantilevers 4m but it is anticipated as it is such a tall structure then extra bracing will be needed to enable extra support as shown in the detail opposite. This is permanently fixed to a mullion encased in a concrete base slab. The flooring of the mezzanine level will consist of 14mm tiber flooring that will sit on a 7mm acoustic fleece, 20mm OSB panel and a 50mm corrugated steel sheet metal, load bearing which will fix to the steel 350UB. As stated previously which can be seen opposite, a concrete slab will sit beneath the flyover and continue onto the vertical wall to mitigate vehicle noise from above.

The construction detail shows one of the social pods and ventilation towers. Poetically it is recognising that it is the “In Limbo” stage of the journey. It is the idea that they are floating above the ground, giving these migrants lacking in language skills a sense of hierarchy looking down below. Thus reiterating the underlying theme of breaking down the barriers of culture shock.

One of the major structural element of this project overall is the transition bridge that spans 30m across a number of train lines, linking the “In Limbo” stage to the final “kissing point”. Floor to ceiling height will be just 2.4m as it leads onto the final “kissing point” which will be over 30m high. This is an attempt to intentionally create an overwhelming sense of elation when they reach the kissing point. AVierendeel steel truss will be used for the bridge. It will be almost like an elevated colonnade. The heavy junctions will compensate for a lack of cross bracing. The bridge is 30m x 30m with a height of 2.5m so therefore 11 Vierendeel trusses that will span 30m which will is laid out in conjunction with the tartan grid. The interview spaces that extend outwards from this can be cantilevered using trusses that will connect to the Vierendeel. As it is bridging over existing rail tracks it is essential the structural load is placed at either end of the bridge as there cannot be any support between them due to moving trains. As shown in the section the right hand bridge junction sitting onto the concrete is connected using a steel plate that ties into the concrete. The left hand side is connected to the steel 350UB using bolts. Furthermore as trains are frequent phasing of this part of the project will be key in not disrupting train services. Therefore the bridge could be built off site and transported to the site to be lifted into place rather than being constructed on site.

STRUCTURAL AND CONSTRUCTIONAL NARRATIVE: TRANSITION
As I want to create quiet space for transition and contemplation it is essential the fibreglass insulation will be used throughout to mitigate the noise from the train lines beneath the structure. Thicker 50mm glazing will also be used throughout whilst the same mild steel that was used in the arrival building will be seen again as migrants enter the space of transition.

Finally, the Kissing Point structure is very similar to that of the arrival building. Materiality is the same using the mild steel cladding which is connected to an overall steel structure. Intentionally this was to become a bespoke piece of architecture. However it does differ in some ways as I will be using steel 350 T beams that will connect to a 2m Vierendeel truss above. This will also be a portal frame structure and ø50 lateral bracing will be used as shown in the isometric opposite. The reason I will for using the Vierendeel truss is because I would like to insert glazing into it without there being any lateral bracing obstructing the light quality. Promoting this concept of the migrant “coming out of the light” to the viewer who is seated at the end of the 1:20 concrete ramp. Poetically this ramp will be very subtle, similar to the ramp at Tate Modern in London designed by Herzog de Meuron. A mild steel shuttering system has also been adopted which will connect to the T beams which will not only ventilate the space bringing a sense of smell of this new land they are about to set foot in but also views out into the ‘Opportunity’ phase. As shown in the image left, a steel frame will used together with a bow string truss that will support the glass panels. This framework will connect to the mullion at the base. Essentially creating one truss that will help take the wind loads. At the base the mullion will be connected to a concrete pile that will help lock the glass into place. Furthermore, glass will be split into 5 x 6m sections that will be separated by 100 ⌀ steel tubes that will connect to the bow string truss.

COST APPRAISAL
THE VISION The urban design proposal aim is to build upon Marseille’s existing connection with Maghreb region through a system of freeports, dedicated to Mediterranean secondary port cities. These cities are being left behind due to the continuing expansion of mass container shipping and we propose to create stronger links with smaller quantities of freight between these secondary port cities. Not only creating easier and cheaper trade routes but also a higher influx of migrants who will work and trade within this system. The site in north Marseille will be the first in this system of ports, and will accommodate for large quantities of migrants who wish to engage with this work and trade system. The scheme is about regeneration through a celebration of immigration. There are political, social, religious issues that have been relevant throughout our investigation but the fundamental idea of regeneration through a revitalised economy is one that was at the heart of the project from the beginning. We aim to reinvent North Marseille in away that engages its culture, history and ideologies. Providing a solid industry that helps the people help themselves. The incorporation of the free port is vital to the success of the overall ideology. It not only is a method to increase the financial viability of the scheme but creates a spring board of opportunity to migrant travelers from the Maghreb region. Allowing for easy free flowing travel between the associated port cities. The Marseille Immigration Reception Facility will be at the heart of it as a way creating the link from Arrival into Opportunity. In terms of cost, it will be priceless in terms of bringing down the numbers of deaths concerned with crossing the ferocious Mediterranean Sea. It is a left wing approach that will be a the long term solution that will reinvigorate Marseille but on a larger scale it will boost the economies across othe other secondary port cities of the Mediterranean. If this was to be tested in Marseille first and it proved successful then the Marseille Immigration Reception could be replicated across these other secondary port cities. It will be funded by a combination of the EU and members of the Arab-Maghreb Union. It is anticipated that in the next 10-20 years, the demand for phosphorous will increase and with Morocco holding the the vast amount of the worlds reserves, it is expected to become thriving more developed country. Therefore the Moroccan government will be able to contribute significantly to this project which would in turn open up a gateway to Europe for these North African migrants. A benchmark I intially looked into to estimate the cost of the Marseille Immigration Reception Facility was Stansted Airport by Foster & Partners as it has many similarities to my building. Benchmark Stansted Airport by Foster & Partners Total Cost: £100,000,000 Area: 85 700m² Cost per square metre: £1,167 /m²
