GRIDIRON AND FRAMEWORK /structural strategy

A timber frame construction Glulam beams and columns combined with CLT floor, wall and roof panels. The joint for the glulam is designed to be seemless, making the structure look like one entire skeleton.

Arch of the Impossible Bridge The impossible bridge is the main driver for the site layout. The presence of existing train line at the end of the site allows materials to be transported directly on site. The dimension of the elements are then defined by the opening of the arches (12m).

Testing the grid Several possible grid dimensions to determinate the best solutions for the site. We have to take in consideration the material needed, the on site construction and prefabrication requirement.

The gridiron on the Irk Valley the grid expands from the impossible bridge. It will guide the project in term of layout, construction, materiality.

ACTIVATE, REFOREST, GENERATE /Landscape Strategy

Preparing the site Plots are determined by the grid, then slabs are poured to highlight the future presence of a construction. Temporary instyallations can be built on these slabs

How to deal with natural landscapes The manifesto for the project, keep the natural asset, even improve it and expand it by creating a collective building and park.

Building process starts Buildings are built one by one following a direct need from the community. The new trees for the forest are planted, it will take several years for them to grow to final size

Site of the future Irk collective - the abandonned car park will be replaced by a collective of buildings, and the exisiting forest will be expanded in between the new structures.

Final stage All buildings are built. The new forest has now reached the height of the surroundings, a pedestrian walway is added accross the site to improve connectivity

/initial iteration - a continuous state of change

Cedric Price. [ONLINE] Available at:https://folio.brighton.ac.uk/user/km226/exemplary-project-cedric-price. [Accessed 5 August 2016].

Skeleton concept initial idea for the Irk new community building. The idea is to design a structural frame that can expand or reduced following the needs of the communities. This system allows modules to e designed off site, and assemble within the frame. The frame can theoritically go on forever, becoming a skeleton that adapts to time, people and place

Fun Palace - Cedric Price (1964) Speculative laboratory of fun with facilities for dancing, music, drama and fireworks

INTERACTIVE - ADAPTABLE - CULTURAL & EDUCATIONAL

Similarities with the Irk Collective - project to be built on disused lands - mixed program for the community - modular systems Differences with the Irk Collective - The fun Palace was designed to be duplicated anywhere - On Irk, although the framework is universal, it respects the topography, materiality and context of its surroundigns

EXPLORATION 1

/initial iteration - a continuous state of change

Footprint The building footprint follows the structural grid. Courtyards are incoprorated within the design

Vertical dynamic To improve the volumes and create a dynamic circulation within the building, the height of each portion of the frame is modified

Building frame on the structural grid Different phases of the project, the frame grows throughout time to finally be partially dismantled and taken over by nature. Axonometric view This is how the frame would sit within the Irk Valley. It is quite a large building. Bridges would help connect the frame to the river and possibly the city centre.

Opening views The frame is stretched out in some areas to create direct views towards the site

Expansion Throughout time, the structure expands, horizontally but also vertically to offer towers and bridges infrastructures.

EXPLORATION 1

/initial iteration - a continuous state of change

Structural frame Some process showcasing the concept of the frame and its evolution into a 3d design.

Initial plans The plan is arranged in respect with the structural gridiron. The work here consisted in defining the location of the different modules and programs as well as how they will be linked to each other.

REFLECTION After discussion with Ricardo Marini, it appeared the project loses its human scale with the giant frame. Responding continuosuly to the community needs can lead to an infernal development. The main concern is that the user becomes object of the project instead of main subject.

EXPLORATION 2

/create dinstinct buildings - a village for the community

Annotated model of the exploration 2 This iteration offers a congregation of buildings or pavillon instead of a continuous structural frame. It can adapt more to the shape of the site, and can create a sort of village in the Irk Valley.

Layout iterations Iterative sketches on the site model, studying the layout of the different buildings. The scheme still follows the structural gridiron introduced earlier to make the construction as modular as possible, but will not be restricted by it

Sketch models Exploring the volume of the different buildings considering the topography and foprestry on the site model. Building will be at three height, to not stand out too much.

Exploration 3.

Plan iteration 1:200@A0

In plan, how exit cores can be placed within the original gridiron. The structure is not continuous anymore but the core location can remain the same to provide a safe experience to the users

This step focused on the design of the inside of the buildings and how on the ground floor the grid is expressed by its vertical elements.

Axonometric sketches to work out the programs in three dimension. The scheme starts to connect the different pieces of programs together.

REFLECTION There is a notable lack of landscaping strategy. The scheme seems like randomly placed on a plot. It was time to take a step back and look at how the grid can be exprseed through landscape.

TIMELINE

SITE AXONOMETRIC OF THE IRK COLLECTIVE

The Forum is the center of decision for the creation of the collective story. Each category of the community have a dedicated office space. The middle floor is dedicated to all communities to gather and take collective decision of the next move for the project. On the ground floor, as a symbol of democracy and collectivity, an open amhitheatre is designed to host different types of events or public speeches.

0yrs

1. FORUM // CENTRE OF COMMAND

2. GYMNASIUM // MOVEMENT AND EFFORT

3. CANTEEN // BREAKOUT

2-5yrs

The gymnasium responds to the lack of infrastructure for physical exercising and recreational activities. Mainly dedicated to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;onsiteâ&#x20AC;? comuunities of Irk (families, pupils from schools) the hall offers a range of flexible spaces that can accomodate all sorts of physical activities from ball sports to archery, climbing, a gym. It will be the first building dedicated to leisure since the forgotten pleasure garden on improbable hill.

The Canteen is a two storey building which main focus is to provide an area of rest during the working day, targetting the employees from the local businesses. The emloyees can come to eat their lunch or simply seat and talk. It is the nearest building to the paint factory, easily accessible for workers from the impossible bridge or the forest path. 4. LIBRARY // CULTURE

5-10 years

The library and gallery building responds to the need for a cultural presence within the Irk Valley. Facilitating the access to knowldge for the population within the surroudings, the library and gallery also has the objective to convey the history and heritage of the site via a special book collection, and frequent historical exhibition. The gallery and its exterior also offers the chance to local artist to showcase their work to locals, but also visitors from Manchester city centre. 5. AUDITORIUM AND FOOD PAVILLON // ENERGY The auditorium building is the closest building connecting the city centre in five to ten minutes. It is the last building to date conceived by the committee. The idea is to open up Irk to the rest of Manchester by creating a performance space and a food court that will attract the young and dynamic population of the surounding quarters (NQ, Ancoats, NOMA and the Green Quarter). It is also a chance for locals of Irk to create jobs within their community, that would help for a social reinsertion.

2- THE CANTEEN

/Atmosphere and precedent

The Canteen Exteriror Perspective created using a physical model. The ground floor is completely open on nature, creating a threshold between the built and the natural. The first floors seems like floating. Model realised during the lockdown and due to the site model being left in the UK, it offered an opportunity to place the model on a real natural scenery instead.

Cafeteria in Ushimado - Niji Architects Precedent studies to understand the typology of a cafeteria/canteen building. The atmosphere in this building with its exposed timber construction is an inspiration for the canteen in Irk. In contrast with this precedent, the Irk Canteen will not have an open kitchen, as it will accomodate a large number of people to eat lunch everyday, it is better to create a professional kitchen within the building. Also the weather between that part of Japan and Manchester is different, hence the need for a construction with more insulation, even with a glulam frame that participate in really low thermal bridges.

Process models - Ground floor of the canteen These models helped getting a three dimensional idea of the space within the canteen. We can see how the spatial arrangement plays with opening, framing views to the forestry. These models also initiated how the space would be populated.

5 POINT OF REFLECTION

FLUX ATELIER DISCOURSE The flux atelier brief really led us to become the architects we want to be, and to design following what really matters to us. The freedom of the atelier is certainly a huge challenge we had to face throughout the year as it was sometimes easy to get lost in our ideas. My final project this year is a reflection of what I am interested to do in the future. The atlier created a new way of instating a state of change by considering the people in relation to the place. My manifesto emphasises the need for a better dialogue between the communities and the need to reinstate a collective within the Irk Valley. Going to visit the site a multitude of times, interviewing locals, taking photgraphs throughout the seasons were activities I really enjoyed in the atelier. I think my architecture is now more focused on people, on the place and on how they can collaborate.

HUMANITIES

TECHNOLOGIES

SYNTHESIS OF ALL UNITS

THE THIRD YEAR

In Architecture and the body, I learned the importance of considering the human body within design, in term of scale, but also in term of its habits, beliefs. I started to develop an interest in a topic that I thought at first disconnected from the rest of the course, but in the end helped to develop skills in critical thinking that were valuable to all my courseworks. I really enjoyed researching and discussing the impact of new technologies within the human skin, and I will use that knowledge for further research outside of the academic sphere. Looking at my intial iterations for my studio project, I can see how I improved the scheme by taking in consideration the human body.

This unit taught us how to take a different approach to design, by focusing on technical creative drivers. The technology course hugely impacted my studio work throughout the BA course, allowing me to understand my projects better and also by having this technical knowledge in mind while desiging. I wish to explore in this area of architecture in the future because I think it can bring me new skills that will be valuable in my career.

I really value the structure of the BA course as it gradually blends the units into each other to finally create a coherent set of skills in third year. I enjoyed how humanities and technologies were used to inform the studio project. Studying my studio project in Technologies helped me to take quick decisions that moved my project forward drastically.

Overall the third year of the course was I think one of the best but also the weirdest of the BA course. It helped me define my interests in architecture, I learned how to connect different skills together. The knowledge accumulated during the BA all came together, I really feel the progress I have made since first year, in all areas of the subject. It is also a weird year as it did not really have an end. Moving back home in the middle of the term and working alone was a challenge, rich in emotions. I am glad to be part of the 2020 class, as we are showcasing how we can adapt to unexpected situations and still do our best for of last project. I think it is something I will remember and that will shape me as an individual, for my future
