GREEN SPACE:COLLECTIVE TO INDIVIDUAL Juliette Sung Semester 1 In Place Tutor:Andy Stoane ESALA
Edinburgh School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture
UNIT BRIEF Second year Architectural Design explores the ways inwhich architecture is indebted to things beyond itself. In Place will introduce students to a concern for buildings’immediate location; Any Place will expand this to consider conditions that extend beyond the local. The city is primarily shaped by social, economic, and political processes; the city and its processes and forces leave their mark on the building. Instead of encouraging architecture to resist such interference in its own territory, In Place suggests studying the city as a means of devising an architectural response to the urban condition.

PRECEDENT STUDY Robin Hood Gardens
Robin Hood Gardens Alison and Peter Smithson East London 1972 213 units mixture of single-storey apartments and two-storey maisonettes
A TOTAL SEPARATION Robin Hood Gardens aims to provide a large communal green space at the centre, in order to enhance the community. But, with its massive linear form, Robin Hood Gardens shield a large communal green space from the surrounding roads. This vast space, although communal, appears disconnected from the apartments.

BOTTOM TO TOP A HIERARCHY OF EXPERIENCE Normal apartments distribute the dwellings horizontally on separate floor and dwellings share the same circulating corridor and core. This typology brings residents an unfair allocation, ending up with the bad quality-ground floor unit with the luxury quality-top floor unit. Bad quality- ground floor units have the closest distance with the traffic and public, the level of privacy and pollution will be a concern. While the luxury quality-top floor units can enjoy nicer sceneries. A UNIVERSALITY OF EXPERIENCE So why not having a dwelling travelling from the bottom to top? This weaving new typology can let each dwelling enjoy the same quality and an interesting journey will be introduced.
