Detail, Narrative & Memories

Similarly, it might be said that every detail – however, precious, understated or seemingly ill-considered – has a tale to tell. Looking closely at the details of buildings can tell us a lot about the values, attitudes, and priorities of the culture in which they were produced. Some architects think about detail design separately from scheme design, parcelling them up as distinct activities. This separation is instituted in the organisational structures of some offices, where separate teams work on the ‘concept’ and ‘production’ phases of a job. This project aims to challenge this dangerous distinction between ‘concept’ and ‘production’, between ‘design’ and ‘technology’. It proposes, instead, that detail is the microcosm of an architectural idea; that rich architecture contains an idea or ideas which pervade the proposal from site to strategy to fabric to environment to detail. Similarly, it might be said that every detail – however, precious, understated or seemingly ill-considered – has a tale to tell. Looking closely at the details of buildings can tell us a lot about the values, attitudes, and priorities of the culture in which they were produced. This project asks you to design a detail. Through that detail, you are asked to design a building. A clear narrative – expressed through the cutting, joining, forming, layering and weathering of materials – should link the detail with the strategies for the building. The same narrative will thread your proposal’s environmental, structural, climatic, lighting and energy strategies together into a coherent whole The detail you are asked to design is the meeting of two buildings: an existing building, of your choice, and your new addition to it. Your FIRST task is to choose a building to work with. It might be modernist, classical, gothic, arts-and-crafts or in any other architectural idiom. It might be disused or derelict, but it certainly doesn’t have to be. The mundane or generic could be just as suitable as the iconic or famous. It’s likely to be somewhere you

can visit, or somewhere you have visited (but there may be good reasons to make an exception). Try to look beyond places you already know well; its often more rewarding to take on a building you find intriguing or problematic, rather than one you love. There are no absolute rules here, but you should agree your choice with the year team (who have a right of veto!). Everyone in the year should choose a different building. SECOND, you must draw and understand your chosen building and its context in plan, section, elevation and detail. Working at scales between 1:5 and 1:25, explore the building and site through their details, materials and junctions. What do the details say about the building, about architecture, and about the world? Draw the building to analyse its structure, organisation, proportions and hierarchies. These studies should shed light on the building’s cultural, social, political and historical contexts, and allow you to describe its ethos. Draw and model the building using a technique (or mixture of techniques) which reflect or critically respond to this ethos. THIRD, work out your attitude to the building and its ethos. Develop your studies of details to see what strategies and narratives and they might set in motion. Use models and drawings to explore how you want to work with the building and context. Through the interventions you propose, think about whether you want to celebrate the building, challenge it, or emphasise certain qualities and diminish others. How will your new architecture respond, critically, to the existing architecture? FOURTH, as your narrative develops, devise a schedule of accommodation for a substantial extension which will allow you to achieve your architectural ends. There is one rule: the programme should contain a variety of spaces at a variety of scales, including at least one large public or semi-public space. Again, the programme should be agreed with the year team. As a rough guideline (remembering that rules are sometimes there to be broken), you should aim for 2000-2500m2of accommodation. In marking, we will factor-in the ‘difficulty of dive’, and we will expect smaller projects to be resolved to a greater level of detail. FINALLY – and at greatest length – develop your building through your detail, and your detail through your building. Your detail should be a microcosm of the proposal which binds together: your critical response to the existing building; your response to site and programme; the resulting strategy; your choice of materials; the structural strategy; the choice of appropriate technology; environmental and climatic response; energy choices; and the necessities of contemporary regulations. The outcome should be a rich, critical architecture with an idea or ideas which pervade its conception through detail to strategy.

The site and inspirations

Background: Newcastle railway station (or Newcastle Central Station) is the mainline station serving Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and is a principal stop on the East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh. It opened in 1850 and is a Grade I listed building. The railway station is connected to the adjacent underground Central Station Metro station on the Tyne and Wear Metro and along with many local bus services forms the most important transport hub in North East England. East Coast and CrossCountry are the main operators at the station, providing Inter-city rail travel across the UK. East Coast operates high speed rail services along the East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh. CrossCountry operates rail services along the Cross Country Route between Scotland, the Midlands and South West England. First TransPennine Express provides services to Yorkshire and North West England. Northern Rail operates local and regional services across the North East and also to Cumbria. The underground station provides Metro services to Newcastle Airport, nearby Gateshead, Whitley Bay, South Shields and Sunderland. Newcastle Central has seen strong passenger growth over recent years with just under 8 million passengers using the station annually. Overall passenger usage for both the mainline and Metro station currently numbers 13 million passengers annually. It is currently managed by East Coast but as part of the return of running of the East Coast Mainline to the private sector it will become the 18th station to be managed by Network Rail in 2015.

The narrative: HUGO film by Martin Scorsese

At the station on the following day Georges gives some ashes to Hugo, referring to them as the remains of the notebook. Later, Isabelle tells him that the notebook was not burnt, adding that the notebook has somehow deeply disturbed her Papa Georges. Finally, Georges tells Hugo that he may earn his notebook back if he works in the toy store every day to pay for all the items Hugo stole. During his free time, Hugo continues to work on the automaton. When it is finished, however, it is still missing one part: a heart-shaped key that goes into the back of the automaton to make it work. As the two grow close together, Hugo takes Isabelle to the movies, something that Georges would never let her do, while she introduces him to the bookstore owner Monsieur Labisse (Christopher Lee) who has loaned her books in the past. Hugo is surprised to find that Isabelle wears a heart-shaped key as a necklace. He asks to borrow it, but Isabelle refuses to lend the key to him unless he tells her why he needs it. At first he declines, but his desire to see the automaton operate leads him to take Isabelle to see the automaton. They use the key to start the automaton, and watch as it draws out an iconic image from the film Voyage to the Moon by the film pioneer Georges Méliès. When the automaton writes a signature beneath the drawing, Isabelle recognizes the name as her godfather’s own. They take the drawing to Georges’ home for an explanation. They ask Isabelle’s godmother Mama Jeanne (Helen McCrory) but she will not tell them anything. As Georges arrives home, Jeanne forces the children into a back room, where they find a hidden compartment in an armoire. In the compartment is a small chest containing a copy of the automaton’s drawing, along with many other drawings. The noise of a collapsing chair draws Georges into the room, and he throws Hugo out, feeling betrayed. Some time later, Hugo and Isabelle discuss Méliès with the bookstore owner; he directs them to the Film Academy section of the library, telling them just where they may find a book on the history of film. As they read the book, its author, Rene Tabard (Michael Stuhlbarg), appears and describes his love for Méliès’s work. The book asserts that Méliès died during World War I, but the children convince Tabard that the filmmaker is still alive. Tabard reveals he has the last known copy of Voyage, and he suggests that they go to the Georges’ house to watch it the next evening. That night, Hugo had a dream where he finds a golden heart-shaped key lying on a railbed in the station but is run over by an approaching train and his dream ends with images of the Gare Montparnasse accident of 1895. The next evening, Jeanne is hesitant about letting them show the film until Tabard recognizes her as Jeanne d’Alcy, a frequent and beautiful actress in many of Méliès’ films. When the film finishes, Georges comes out, and emotionally reveals himself to be Méliès, recalling his filmmaking career. He transformed his illusionist skills into the special effects he used for his movies to bring his vivid imagination to life. However, after the horrors of World War I, his films lost popularity with the jaded and disillusioned population, and he became ruined, selling the films to be melted down to chemicals, used to mold shoe heels, and quietly disappeared as a toy maker to sustain himself and Jeanne. Georges is despondent, believing all of his former film materials were otherwise destroyed in a museum fire, leading Hugo to recall the automaton.

In 1931, Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield) is a 12-year-old boy living in the walls of the Paris Gare Montparnasse railway station, where he mends the station’s clocks. Previously, Hugo was raised by his widowed father, a museum worker (Jude Law). His father had doted on him, teaching him the art of repairing mechanical devices, taking him to movies, and showing him how he was repairing an automaton (mechanical man) that supposedly could write a message. After his father was killed in a museum fire, Hugo was taken in by his alcoholic uncle Claude (Ray Winstone) who showed little sentiment for Hugo but taught the boy how to maintain the clocks at the station. When Claude mysteriously disappears, Hugo continues to maintain the clocks while making a living by stealing food and supplies. All the while Hugo lives in fear that if the vigilant Station Inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen) were to discover him, he would be turned over to an orphanage. Hugo continues the work on the automaton. Relying on his father’s notebook for insight, he steals the required parts wherever he can, including from the shop of a toymaker who makes and sells mechanical toys. One day, he is finally caught by the bitter toymaker, Papa Georges (Ben Kingsley), who has long known that Hugo robs him. Georges looks through Hugo’s father’s notebook, is evidently strongly affected by it, and keeps it despite Hugo’s protests. Hugo trails Georges to his home to retrieve it. There, he meets Georges’ goddaughter, Isabelle (Chloë Grace Moretz), who promises to help.

Hugo races back to the station to get the automaton (intending to use it as a surprise for Georges), but before he can retrieve it, he overhears the Station Inspector tell that Claude’s body had been recovered in the Seine. The Inspector catches Hugo and discovers that he is an orphan. During the ensuing chase, Hugo climbs up the clock tower and is forced to climb onto the clock hands to hide from the Inspector. When he goes away, Hugo quickly climbs back in and gets the automaton but is quickly cornered again by the Inspector and the automaton is thrown onto the railway tracks. Despite the approach of an oncoming train, Hugo jumps onto the tracks to recover the automaton. With no time to climb back up onto the platform to save himself and the automaton, Hugo appears to face certain death from the oncoming train. However, the Inspector saves Hugo at the last moment. As the Inspector decides whether or not to arrest Hugo, Georges arrives and asserts that Hugo is now in his care. Hugo is released and presents the automaton to Georges. Sometime later, a film festival is held showcasing over eighty recovered and restored Méliès films. Georges tearfully takes the stage, and thanks Hugo for his dedication and to the other attendees for sharing his imagination with him. After the festival, during a party in the Georges’ house, Hugo has acclimated as Georges’ son, while Isabelle begins writing a book on the recent events. The film ends on a shot of the automaton sitting at a writing desk in a pleasant room, poised as though prepared to resume drawing.


Detail, Narrative & Memories

Film making technique Set production Dolley track 8 - 9

Set construction is the process by which a construction manager undertakes to build full scale scenery suitable for viewing by camera, as specified by a Production Designer or Art Director working in collaboration with the director of a production to create a set for a theatrical, film or television production. The set designer produces a scale model, scale drawings, paint elevations (a scale painting supplied to the scenic painter of each element that requires painting), and research about props, textures, and so on. Scale drawings typically include a groundplan, elevation, and section of the complete set, as well as more detailed drawings of individual scenic elements which, in theatrical productions, may be static, flown, or built onto scenery wagons.

Relief paper model of context

Cj Lim, in his book ‘London in two and half dimension’, capture London district atmosphere through his meticulous relief paper models that he name himself ‘ 2.5 D model’. This method of representation whilst do built on accurate vertical dimension of the context, but through the perspective view point, tricking the vision of the eyes, arrangement of layers of papers and its shadow deliver a powerful depth to the model. This technique is very commonly used in stage set design. Through the model, I attempt to capture the idea of lighting, shadow and the industrial landscape within a frozen moment that can be perceive at one particular point of perspective.

Slider No.1

The slider is crafted as a synthesis from two parts of the research : the machinery of the train station and the beauty of classic film making technique. Using wood and plumber component, I try to bring the aesthetic of the steam engine into the slider device that is commonly used in film production. The drawing of the device is used as a mean to explore the idea of the relief in stage production. While the technical drawing provide dimension to the construction of the slider, the projection of lighting on the slider create shadow that bring the third dimension to the drawing. When blurring the boundary between the drawing line and the shadow, the object and its shadow merge and become a unique entity. I find this method is very interesting to explore the potential derive geometry from any given detail.

Using embeded lighting simulating system within the 3d modelling program, I generate 45 degree shadow projection from 4 direction top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right on to the axonometric view of device slider No.1. The range of shadow are then extracted from the object and recomposed into a new configuration. While making a new configuration, I attempt to approach the image of the train, the station and the dolly track. The result is a long and straight figure that referenced back to the image of the train and the station.

This idea have the potential to become the bridge between two drawing scale of an object / of a detail and of an architecture.

Taking the previous study of the shadow further and applying it to the context of the site. I chose to study in detail one arch of the repetitive arches structure. The arches are modelled in detail and projected 45 degree shadow in the axonometric view. Shadow are traced and marked as a landscape of the initial detail. The context of the detail and its ‘ deriving landscape’ are framed under different point of view start to suggest a new detail derived from the initial detail.

A collage of four shadow studies are layered on top of each other create an emerging shadow landscape of the arches. This shadow landscape blur the distinction between different view and perception of the arches which suggest a different way to perceive the structure. It could be a landscape, urban furniture, a plan or a section. The production of a relief model with presance of people can suggest how these fragments ge+nerated from this shadow study can be used in a rich way to approach a new design.

The foot bridge provides a direct connection between the central station, Victoria II bridge and the quayside. This could be the starting point for a new development of this area of the quayside potentially proposing an implement of a new metro station. An outdoor cinema, skate park and car park is proposed at the connection between Victoria II bridge, the footbridge and the quayside will act as a social hub for the development of the new area.

The exhibition space 44 - 45

Bright and open walkway consist of few segments. One of them is exhibition space: the exposition structure is folded from previous study of the shadows. It suggest abstract geometrical segments, adapted for haging and placing exponats about the history and culture of the strain station, steel works in Newcastle and its industrial past.

The project addressed the Museum Island in the post-war context, an Island of five museums in the heart of Berlin. The museums have gone through series of restorations and renovations since they were bombed in the WWII. The project took into account the complex social situation between the East and the West Berliners and their past history. Inspired by the story of the Berlin wall, I pose a question ‘ What if the restoration of the museum island had been done differently? What if there is another wall in Berlin that connects instead of separates? What if the voids of the past could be opportunities for new renaissance? The design took the broken frieze from Pergamon Museum representing the battle between gods as the starting point, and projected its missing parts - the void on to the facade of five museums.

1 A facade mapping imagery, to explore continuous architectural elevation in relation to main neighbourhood junctions, which become a barrier in the Museum island 2 Museum island mapping, aiming to explore wrapping of the existing facade, paying attention to the footprint created. It marks volumes of each museum, and, importantly, voids in between, which i will chose to fill in. Original image comes from tourist postcard.

Curating Museum Island 70 - 71

Berlin Museum island symposium model. Taking the idea of void and barrier further, together with explorations from Museum island postcard, this model aims to explore imaginative proposal of connection between museums. It represents the opposite nature of existing buildings. Currently they are almost opposing each other, separated and distant. My conceptual narrative proposes fragmented view of each of the buildings, while blurring andoverlaying them together, in order to fill in the existing void. Three levels of this model represents three embedded inspirational parts of the conceptual narrative: top being the fresk, which gives further suggestion for the design geometry; middle part is continues exploration of the void; bottom is imaginative proposal of fluidity and connection between each of the museum building and its distinctive architecture.

This old fresque reconstruction is a conceptual working base for future canopy design, when certain transformations are applied. Working method is adopted from previous experimentations of determining void and filling them in with fragmented details

Development of the fresque details. Adopting the same principle of void identification and purification of concrete elements, the fresque is altered to fragments, while missing the void. Similarly as facades where extruded from each of the building, while discarding voids in between.

Primer study of Urban Operation Tactic

The initial study focuses on the topic of Urban Operation Tactic - UOB. Through various sources of information including tutorial video and tactic manual, I’ve tried to understand tactical movement that infantry employed when they combat in a dense urban area. The outcome of the study is condensed into a 6 minutes video in which I have illustrated a group of 4 soldiers that create a formation and move through a chosen route in Newcastle. The video can be found at https://vimeo.com/80686163. The core idea of the formation is that they have to cover 360 degree of observation by assigning each member of the team to cover one direction TL - Team Leader - Covering the front RF - Right Flank - Covering the right side LF - Left Flank - Covering the left RG - Rear Guard - Covering the back On the split screen of the video, at the top left corner, we see a main screen showing the whole team operate in the context. On the top right corner, we see the vision field

of 4 soldiers, and at the bottom is 4 view with the camera fixed on to each of the members, this is an experimental observation to explore the relationship between real vision and tracked views as well as the context modified around the soldier and not the other way around. When moving through the urban landscape, solider pay careful attention to all the potential threat such as invisible corners, doors and windows. They should use urban infrastructure, furniture as much as possible to cover themselves, in this way, they reduce the degree of exposure to enemies. As a result, when moving through the urban situation, the change of cityscape result in the fact that members have to swap their position and their direction of observation. There is almost a particular tactic applied for each of these moments. The second part of the video - Urban Operation Choreography explore the resulting relationship between movement of the team members. Using the fixed view of the member and isolated it from the context, I start to noticed pattern of expansion and contraction. This idea of element of expanding and contracting can be a core idea to take further in the thesis.

2011: Occupy Wall Street protesters gather

2011: Occupy Wall Street protesters gather On September 17, hundreds of people began demonstrating in New York’s Zuccotti Park and other parts of lower Manhattan. Many participants have cited economic equality and the reduction of corporate influence as goals of the movement. The ongoing protests have inspired similar events in other cities in the United States and abroad.

Occupy Manhattan / A Protest Blueprint

Using a wide range of available source on internet, I start to track down the movement and activity of the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement over 8 months period from October 2011 - May 2012. The investigation result in 4 mapping drawings which each represent a 2 months period of movement and activities. The content of each map include rally, marching, arrest, police kettling, deployment and police violence.

Privatley Owned Public Space

One Chase Manhattan Plaza, with Bowling Green Park (the site of the “Charging Bull”) and Zuccotti Park as alternate choices. Police discovered this before the protest began and fenced off two locations; but they left Zuccotti Park, the group’s third choice, open. Zuccotti Park, formerly called Liberty Plaza Park, is a 33,000-square-foot (3,100 m2) publicly accessible park in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It is a privately owned public space (POPS) controlled by Brookfield Properties

Because Zuccotti Park is not a publicly owned space, it is not subject to ordinary public park curfew. New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said on September 28, 2011, that the NYPD could not bar protesters from Zuccotti Park since it is a public plaza that is required to stay open 24 hours a day. “In building this plaza, there was an agreement it be open 24 hours a day,” Kelly said. “The owners have put out regulations [about what’s allowed in park]. The owners will have to come in and direct people not to do certain things.”

3. a plaza, urban plaza, residential plaza, public plaza, elevated plaza, arcade, through block arcade, through block galleria, through block connection, covered pedestrian space, sidewalk widening, open air concourse, or other privately owned public space specifically defined by New York City’s 1961 Zoning Resolution and accompanying legal instruments

5. Law’s oxymoronic invention Under the public policy of incentive zoning since 1961, New York City has granted more than 20 million square feet of floor area bonuses and other zoning concessions to office and residential building developers in return for over 80 acres of plazas, arcades, and other outdoor and indoor privately owned public spaces. Developers have used over 16 million square feet of the bonuses granted. To put this in context, 16 million square feet is the equivalent of roughly six Empire State Buildings, and 80 acres of public space equals about 10% of Central Park. Most spaces are located in Manhattan’s midtown, upper east side, upper west side, and downtown neighborhoods. Although the zoning rules governing the POPS have changed over the years, one aspect has remained constant: spaces must be open for public use, many for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, even though they are privately owned and managed.

Swing Space in Lower Manhattan

120 - 121

Launched in 2005, with generous support from the downtown real estate community and LMCC’s programming partners, Swing Space has placed over 1,000 artists in more than 25 different locations throughout Lower Manhattan and on Governors Island. Swing Space was designed to address short-term space needs for a wide range of projects and to encourage creative, experimental, and collaborative approaches to artistic practice in unconventional spaces. Swing Space was a project-based residency program that placed visual and performing artists and arts groups in space for the development and presentation of new projects and provided artists with space, publicity and public programs, and access to specialized support and resources.

Stage 2: Assembly The assembly date and location would be announced through social media by the communication room. In the assembly day people will gather at Zuccotti Square and 140 Broadway plaza. By gathering here, the build up crowd of thousand people will slowly deploy the two structures which will facilitate the protest. During the process of deploying, the structure change its form in a various ways depending on the weight of the crowd occupying the structure. The deployed structure will block Broadway and Liberty Street, provide protesters with the shelter in bad weather, and various form of platform and step to help protester organize their activities such as demonstration, free speech, singing ect. The process of changing form and people inhabitation / occupying is influencing each other. The weight of the crowd change the configuration of the structure, the new configuration of the structure will influence the way protestors occupy it and again will change its form. During that time, the communication continue to monitor, broadcast and support the protest from the background; the factory continue to produce food and print to supply the protest.

Stage 3: Occupying Once the deployment of Zuccotti Square structure and 140 Broadway Plaza structure block Broadway and Liberty Street, these two streets become inaccessible for vehicle, protester can expand their occupation on to the streets. Zuccotti Square structure become the main base for protester while 140 Broadway structure could be turned into a ‘People library’ based on its shelve configuration. Since these structures are located on privately owned public spaces, and it is locked down by the weight of the crowd, the only way to unblock is to ask permission from private developer to clear the crowd from the square and the plaza which does not belong to city properties. This process of clearing is uncertain and time consuming, which will give protester more advantage in controlling their territory. Simultaneously, protestor can start to deploy the structure at 1 Wall Street to block the other side of Broadway and the structure at One Liberty Plaza to block the other side of Liberty Street. This structure once fully deployed, could be used as sleeping camp and training camp. Once all structures are fully deployed, it would paralyze the whole area between 140 Broadway and 1 Wall Street with no access for vehicle, protesters can expand their territory and using this as a starting point to grow their occupation.

The communication room is located at 14 Wall Street, 31th floor where activists run their campaign. This space initially is part of 25 available swing spaces provided by Lower Manhattan Art Council. The top level with a panorama view provide a good signal and perfect observation over the city. Using social media, activists spread the word about the protest and call for participation. They will also monitor the protest using flying camera ( a technology that become very common and accessible in amateur film industry). The communication is organised into sub function :

Occupy Manhattan / A Protest Blueprint

The Factory The factory is located at 15 Nassau Street, ground floor where the preparation for the protest will take place. It is a part of 25 Swing Space provided by Lower Manhattan Art Council. A restoration of 3 level turn the Swing space into a factory that serve 3 main functions. Printing service: is the place where protester print out their sign, slogan, banner which will be used in protest and demonstration. Washing service: is the place where protester was their clothes during their long temp occupation, the washing service include dying service if the protest need a particular colour theme.

136 - 137

Food production: embed within a kitchen restaurant, this is the place where food will be made to sustain protester during their long term occupation. When there is no protest happening, the factory serve the neighbourhood as a printing service, washing service and a restaurant. When there is a protest happening: the building will deploy its emerging extension through the use of hydraulic arms. The emerging extension reveals the printing service on ground floor and the kitchen on the first floor. Both extend over the street that allow more access to protester who want to contribute their labour in the production. The extension serves as an element that blocks vehicle access as well.

The ground floor of the factory serves as a washing/dying service and printing service. The column layout of the existing space already divide the space into 3 parts which are assigned 3 different program: washing, circulation and printing. By introducing a delivery track running across 3 space, it allows a connection in operating as well as spacial quality. The two services - washing and printing have its own operating space, while the shared circulation in the middle can extend its activity when needed.

Delivery output

The emerging extension from the printing service is deployed by hydraulic arms. Its consist of 7 pivoting platforms that extend depending on the amount of people engaging into the activity. Once the extensions are fully deployed, ink will be conducted directly from the inside pipe to individual screen printing device through transparent tube. This ink conducting not only make the process of screen print become more efficient but also become a visual statement for the protest through the colour of the ink.

Daily restaurent

The top floor serves as a restaurant, when the city is not protesting. When the protest rise up, restaurant becomes a public protest kitchen with an extension on the right. Here protester can join in to food preparation process, supply it to the protesting community or eat it in the restaurant itself. Kitchen extension is spatially connected to permanent kitchen for easy access, food delivery and convenience. The extension manifests itself to the outside, while indicating presence of the protest happening and adding a feature to the city scape. Internally restaurant hall overlooks the floor bellow, with printing and washing process. Restaurant kitchen has an independent delivery system with an input and output routes.

138 - 139

The basement of the factory serves as a workshop where people are crafting devices, objects that will be used during the protest. These objects varies dependig on the topic of protest. It could be making tear gas masks from plastic bottles, creating a symbolic sculpture for protester to burn or fabricating low tech tensile structure to shelter. There is a delivery track that run along the side of the workshop and connected to the upper level.

1. Monument. Protesting people chosing to gather around landmarks and monuments to uccupy important space of the city, ease communication and attract as much attention as possible.

Monument for protest gathering, a place to get attention

2. Agora. Public square, usually with different levels is used as beneficial anouncement space, as well as important gathering point. Often town squares marks the city center

Agora, steps for public free speech


4. Circulation route. Strategically chosen space to paralyse normal life of the city. That is how message of protest spreads out more quickly and efficiently, together with dissatisfaction of other people.

3. Shelter. Often used type of space in lasting protest, when crowds chose to occupy space in the city for weeks, not minding the night time, weather conditions or other enviroment diffeculties.

First attempt to design deployable Zuccotti structure. This design suggest an idea of lifting protestors up from the ground, so their message would reach high office building workers by placing people on foldable platforms. For the first time I have explored a concept of deployability based on crowd weight. It suggests that only certain amount of people ( with their crowd weight ) could open the platforms out and send a message. This structure, when deployed, would act as a monument as well, because of its proportion, mass and platform span. It employs hydraulic mechanism to allow the movement of each wing.

Disadvantages of this proposal where stiffness, limited amount of possible positions that can be used, poor adaptability to a large amount of people at the nature of the protest, which usually tend to occupy the ground. In this proposal, Zuccotti structure could only be used in two forms: closed, acting as a monument and open, as a platforms for protestors. While opening from one position to the other, structure is unused and only manifest the process. Additionally, capacity of its circulation route is not adopted to a mass crowd, what creates a difficulty to move around and deploy it. Nevertheless, it allowed to develop the concept of crowed initiative and structure powered by this, explore hydraulic mechanism and adopt idea in further design

Second proposal for Zuccotti structure The design consists a multifunction structure that addresses issues that protesters have to deal with including sheltering, tear gas and water cannon. The method of deployment itself is seen as a demonstration in which the mass of the crowd when climbing on the step of two wings on two side will slowly bring down the structure. The level of deployment and its speed is totally depended on level of engagement between protestor and the structure. The structure once deployed will block the street and provide different service such as

This proposal successfully addresses protester activities in a more convincing way; however, the fact that the structure has many deployable components that activated separately increase the level of complexity of the architecture. It become too complicate to operate and facilitate a crowd of thousand people. 4

In the assembly day people will gather at Zuccotti Square and 140 Broadway plaza. By gathering here, the build up crowd of thousand people will slowly deploy the two structures which will facilitate the protest. During the process of deploying, the structure change its form in a various ways depending on the weight of the crowd occupying the structure. The deployed structure will block Broadway and Liberty Street, provide protesters with the shelter in bad weather, and various form of platform and step to help protester organize their activities such as demonstration, free speech, singing ect. The process of changing form and people inhabitation / occupying is influencing each other. The weight of the crowd change the configuration of the structure, the new configuration of the structure will influence the way protestors occupy it and again will change its form.

Training camp design is a type of multifunctional urban furniture. During times with no protest it acts as a street light grid, offering atmospheric and intimate urban space in one of the streets. While during the protest, structure becomes as a training facility for physical exercising. Light support acts as a hook structure for punching bags and grid supports additional weight. When crowd of people use up all the hook with punching bags at the same time, structure is slides of to the adjacent street and blocks it with the benefit for protestors.

Emerging library Emerging library is an essential component of the protest programme. It holds books and written information about the topic of the protest. The first attempt to design emerging platform results in a pivoting platform that gives access to a hidden amphitheatre and a hidden chamber. The architecture configuration of the amphitheatre and the pivoting platform can be used for public speaking as well as shelves for books and documents.

Sleeping camp Vertical sleeping structure is an additional component into the protest programme. While it is essential for protesters to occupy the ground, the vertical sleeping structure allow protesters to extend their occupation in order to get more attention from the neighbourhood who inhabiting and work inside the surrounding skyscraper. The sleeping structure also contribute into the process of blocking the street. The weight of the people low down the structure closer to the ground and blocking Liberty Street.

Link Research / Testing Ground

Link research is a 12 months research by design module that involve a collaboration of 14 students working on two live build project.

The second project ‘Stonehaugh pavilion’ consisted designing and build a star gazing pavilion for Stonehaugh village. The project started with and open competition for concept idea. My team propose a mobius pavilion that aimed to become a gathering space for villagers and attract tourist attention to the area. The design sought for unconventional organic form. By using mathematic principle and parametric design we developed the form of the pavilion through progressive step starting from a primary form of a circle. The big feature of the design was decision to remove one face of the mobius structure, it create an articulate opening and access to the central yard of the pavilion however, at the same time it destabilise the structure of the pavilion. We have increase the satiability of the structure by introduce horizontal segment that intersect with the primary frame while respecting the mobius configuration principle. A physical model 1:20 were produce with the help of laser cutter to prove the stability of the structure. While the mobius proposal receive a lot of appreciation from the village, the complexity of the structure and material cost made it impossible to be delivered.

192 - 193

The first project ‘U cafe’ was a project based on material exploration where we were asked to reuse university campus waste such as wooden pallets, plastic bottles, plastic bags or cardboard. The first phase of the project took the form of a competition where three teams working on three proposals of a pop up cafe using a chosen recycle material. Each proposal explored the potential of waste material in form of architectural element; cardboards were used as load bearing wall and chair; plastic bottles were used as translucent cladding material and lamp, plastic bags were transported into clothes and visual support. The winning scheme were a combination of elements from the three team. The main structure consisted of load bearing cardboard structure that could support a cardboard roof; plastic bottles and plastic bags were used to make lamp, uniform and visual communication.

Structural Build-up Larch Timber

Left: new/treated Larch cladding. Precedent: St Mary’s school hall in Essex.

Stone Wall

Below: Precedent: VillaLola in Iceland by Reykjavik studio Arkis. Both the roof and walls of the building are clad in Larch that has been pre-weathered to give it a muted grey colour. A sealer will be applied to the posts on the inner circle, whereas the Larch on the outer circle will be left unsealed. So that they age at different rates to give a visual differentiation.

Inspired by the stells in the North of England, a circular stone wall is included. It lifts the timber structures off the ground to reduce its risk of rotting. Considering that the star gazing shelter will sit next to an existing stone wall, the circular stone wall base allows the new structure to disappear into the surrounding. The aim is to source as much of the timber from the local area, reducing transport miles and embodied energy. Among Douglas Fir, Scots Pine and Sitka Spruce (timbers that are available in Stonehaugh), Larch seems to be the best choice because of its durability, cost and appearance. The heartwood of Larch are classed as ‘moderately durable’ and do not need preservative treatment for external use.

Green Roof

They improve the durability of waterproofing materials, provide flora and fauna, also they reduce rainwater run-off into the inner circle, so there is less drainage requirements and potential puddling.

After Image

In the second phase of the project we were encouraged to use the ‘afterimage of the car park’ that we had produced and transform it into a new form of architecture that carries a significant relationship to the designing was really new and challenging for me, and so it raised questions for the way I operated in my design process. about designing something ‘new’ after doing research togain understanding about a subject and applying it to the site, to transforming the initial subject, the initial forms and ideas, literally, right from the beginning of the design process through many iterative developments, many times over so that an understanding of the subject is gained gradually and incrementally, and these steps are repeated until we reach a point of satisfaction. Although a new methodology for me, transforming my analytic ‘afterimage’ model into a new structure was in some ways a straightforward task. The transformation wasn’t done once but many times, and every time it was altered it was more exciting, something new revealed itself, and looking back I can see that every step was connected coherently from beginning to end. I used different patterns where different urban grids met, overlaying them, rotating them, aligning them, finding the geometricalsimilarity between them, connecting them and rotating and aligning them again… little bit by little bit, the fragmented details of the layered urban condition, the layered car park and layer of structure exposed when the excavator demolished the building became involved in my sequences of transformation. What came up in the end was exciting for both my tutors and me. My proposal was in some ways a more imposing structure than even the previous Brutalist structure. But unlike the car park, my building is a living, breathing, growing vertical neighbourhood.

214 - 215

The project named ‘Afterimage’, addresses the recently demolished iconic Trinity Square car park in Gateshead, commonly known as the ‘Get Carter’ Car Park. ‘Through studies of the volumetrics and morphology of the previous building, and its architectural relations with the city, we will develop proposals for a new architecture that works through a kind of oscillation or reflection between past and present’. The term Afterimage, in science, refers to the phenomena of a visual image that persists after the visual stimulus causing it has ceased to act. In the first stage of the project, we were asked to express our personal remembrance of the car park; this expression would be presented through a range of visual media as a kind of ghost image. I expressed my fascination in the layering structural relationship between the concrete, monumental car park and the surrounding industrial collaged cityscape of Gateshead. Sited within 500m of the river bank, near the top of a deep slope, the building is surrounded by infrastructural connections where railway bridges overlap road bridges, where one urban grid meets another, and historical buildings, church sites and low rise council housing come together. These layers of infrastructure and architecture set up the particular urban character of Gateshead which fascinated me. It seemed that the car park held everything together, and I wanted to provide something to the urban condition to recreate this purpose. I produced an analytic model of the city where information was separated into different layers piled up on top of each other, geography, transport and infrastructure, building facilities, and so on. This layering proved very influential to my final design.
