I. Introduction Location Plan
The Edgeley Heigh Street Projects is focusing on reprogramming and re-using of existing open spaces and buildings. The main aim will be to re-define a decaying area in Stockport at a master-plan, landscape and individual building level.

The Stereoscopical Perspective Walking As An Design Tool Workshop
The workshop objective was to understand the ethics of urban design and introduce walking as a urban design tool, discovering and perceive a place and its context from a personal level, at a human scale and dimensions. At the end of the workshop we had to create, part of a group, a walking exercise bases on one particular element we been particularly interested.
In our exercise we created a walk from a disabled persons’ perspective. Walking trough Stockport we observed the large number of elderly people and young families with baby stroller, triggering our interest on how people are circulating around the site and how they interact with the buildings. Comparing Stockport and Edgeley High Street, the two sites have a very different topography and layout, being highlighted by the site accessibility. In contrast with Stockport, Edgeley has a linear market, the circulation is much smoother, majority of buildings being accessible, with tactile pavement present at each intersection.

Historic Analysis Edgeley map changed during the years. With the increase of the population, the wages increased, the housing density increased and the open green spaces decreased dramatically. A new tram line was created to accommodate the increasing population, which was shortly replaced by several bus routes.

Site Analysis The High Street is surrounded by medium density housing, with main and secondary roads, and Edgeley accommodates two large parks, however there is little green space near the main commercial area. There is a good mix of economical businesses, predominating food and beauty shops. The community centre is accommodating a vast range of activities with a leak of space. The street hosts manly daytime activities, but is lacking diurnals. There is little outside gathering space to allow the community to interact.

Lighting Strategy
SC. 1:1500 Night view- lighting strategy
Lighting Strategy The main aim is to create a safe, friendly and pleasant ambiance throughout the High Street. The main entrance is marked with a feature lighting to emphasis the way towards the Heigh Street. Column Lampposts light the paths, and the canopy lights the semi enclosed spaces. A modern and sustainable design was created, with photo-voltaic lampposts to create sustainable energy. The bus stops have supplimentry lighting to increase safety.
Entrance feature lighting
Contemporary lighting around public gathering area
Seamless photo-luminescent asphalt Canopy lighting
Column Lamp Post For diffuse lighting we been looking for indirect post lamps. They were positioned along the main and secondary paths, and the heights was designed to not disturb residents on the High Street.
Bus stop feature lighting
Canopy Lighting The canopy was designed to offer shelter from the rain and sun, and during the night to offer extra lighting for safety and aesthetics. It creates a visual tunnel and a friendly environment allowing diurnal activities to take place.

Landscape Planting Strategy
Visual and olfactory senses were the key elements for the planting strategy. Different tree and flower types were chosen for their fragrance and leaf colours creating a divers aesthetics during the seasonal changes. Rows of columnar trees are used to create the threshold and a linear view towards the high street. Larger trees were positioned to offer shading for the outdoor eating area and relaxing. The plants are scattered around the site, with sitting areas.
Materiality and Furniture Strategy
Local materials been chosen for the pavement and furniture. The oak wood is locally sourced, and is a sustainable material offering durability, with a temporal quality to enable the possibility to change without waste in the future to accommodate new functions. The concrete conservation pavements are used in different nuances to delimit the different functions.

II. Building Re-use - Introduction Building re-use focuses on a particular building block along the site to be re-used and reprogrammed. The given block signifies the main corner towards the pedestrianised path, and it is the key element towards the High Street. The current use is a betting, barber, tattoo and grocery shop, with a vacant space, and residential flats on the top floor.
COMMUNITY ART HOB
COMMUNITY ENTERTAINMENT
COMMUNITY MARKET
The function of Library was determined based on the previous analysis and landscape proposals, and was the key element missing to enhance the Community spirit, creating a Contemporary Communal Library and keeping the residents, improving the housing standard. The building has front and back accesses, the proposed paths meeting at the corner point of the building.

Site access The building block and be accessed from various points, being a key building on the High Street. The residential area has separate rear entrance and private car parking, as well as a large car parking on the side. The large front offer a great possibility to create visual connection with the immediate landscape. The rear offers the possibility to create fire escape exits, and entrance for maintenance, stocking and waste disposal. Corner opportunity
Existing Ground Floor Plan
Existing First Floor Plan
Existing Elevations
The ground floor level offers the opportunity to enclose the corner space and use the empty shop to create a continuous block. The shops dividing wall could be remove and create an open space, separating the residential areas from the new library.
First floor residential area layout could be redesigned, and the vacant space can be integrated in the new rear extension. The corner could be straightened and create a double height space, with large windows looking towards the new landscape.
The corner shop offers possibilities to create a landmark and an emphasis towards the side, the rear single story offering possibility to extend vertically. The shop fronts and residence fronts are lacking in unity and symmetry. Existing window openings can be used to bring more light and keep the structure and features of existing building.

Environmental Analysis and Strategy
WIND
Most Wind in Edgeley originates from the south, which is at 29 %. The wind circulates around the site and is relatively song in summer, hence cross ventilation is an effective ventilation strategy here. Cool air is designed to be drawn from the northeast and southwest windows, and then heat up under the sun in summer and thus rises within the building. It is then drained away through the windows on the top (First floor and Roof Openings).
GREEN AREA
In our high street reuse programme, we assigned green spaces next to our site in castle street. Urban green spaces are important to mental health. Having access to green spaces can reduce health inequalities, improve well-being, and allow people to take a break from their busy life. Windows are designed facing the green areas such that the residents and the users of our library can enjoy the beautiful view and nature.
DAYLIGHT
Our site is relatively open and not closely blocked by surrounding buildings and features, hence it receives ambient sunlight. A tower expansion would be undertook at the corner house at newton street and castle street (Existing Betfred Building). Opening would be put facing the North to receive soft north light, and no openings would be placed on the south where strong glare could be received in summer.
LIBRARY RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL
As the author of Philosophy in the Garden, Damon Young puts it, as a “garden library“–rather than a library with a garden. We find that beautiful nature, such as plants and animals gives man the ‘power and process’ of life, and then gave him reason to master it, which would inspire him to sit down and read, We believe that a library and a garden can be mutually beneficial to one another.
