Design in the Landscape

" " Ever since my inception into the world of design, my curiosity has grown vastly into many different subjects, taking inspiration from wherever possible. This allows me to engage with a project in a more wholesome manor, providing great designs for people and place with a burning desire to Create Solutions for generations that are yet to exist.

I firmly believe that landscape design can take realisation after the essence of place has been consulted and the requirements of the place been comprehended. A contextually learnt conceptual attitude guarantees a landscape rich in metaphorical representation whilst enabling sensitivity to the existing space creating a landscape that belongs. Sustainability is at the forefront with functionality becoming the most fundamental foundations within the design led process. Unification within a community and social communication will be promoted via public spaces where society can perform is a fixed certainty of mine.

Sinking the Square Raising the Spirit @ Finsbury Square

The development of Finsbury Square has potential as a stress relieving landscape as well as a socio-economic benefactor. The "Sinking the Square and Raising the Spirit @ Finsbury Square" project enhances the urban lifestyle for surrounding workers and residents. The project looks at how an urban square can have two very different dimensions in the same place, capitalising on the vibrant edges created by the hustle of city life and creating a desirable place where social life can thrive amongst areas of wellbeing and contemplation. Tackling stress and improving wellbeing whilst accommodating the speed of city life is a key motive for the design. The design focuses on stress relief utilising spatial strategies to improve wellbeing for different user groups. Overall the design must be highly functional in regards to quality circulation allowing swift access throughout the Square with motives that draw the pedestrians deeper into the centre of the Square.

Finsbury Square, London - 2013

Introduction

London

Project Context On the fringes of the City of London in Bunhill ward sits Finsbury Square. London's social context is constantly evolving and its business district is expanding and engulfing its surroundings. The Chartered Institute of Environment Health (2009) states that the City of London has only 9000 residents but 320,000 workers. The spaces created must respond to the local workers' needs, most of whom work in the financial sector. HACKNEY

Finsbury Square is in the heart of the world's leading financial, business and maritime centre with a range of business orientated land uses including offices, retail and hotels.

Analysis and Appraisal The typical London Square has always been a place of meeting, market, business, enjoyment and wellbeing. This is not the case for all squares as many have grown into neglect and disrepair due to; lack of funding, no sense of public ownership, not current with relevant social and cultural issues, etc. Finsbury Square is in the position to be recognised as the space that needs this urban revival. A revival that helps invigorate its potential. Finsbury policy aims to green the environment, aiming towards a higher environmental value throughout Bunhill that has a positive impact on the wellbeing and health of residents and workers

Finsbury Square reflects post war design principles, using cheap and durable materials, providing motives for vehicular influx from the service and financial sector that would prove to surround Finsbury Square expanding from the City of London. With a thriving economy and consistent changes to the surrounding architecture, Finsbury Square has been left behind in the grand scheme of development since its latest design in 1951. What remains evident of this scattered, unconnected urban space, heavily driven by accommodating the rise of the automobile, spatially laid out in block formations the square lacks pedestrian life. Its lasting features that accommodated the rise in automobile traffic in London are the underground car park with 258 spaces, abandoned filling stations and parking around the entire square. The worn benches on the north side of the square act as a sun trap, activity on this side of the square are seasonal, particularly for summer when the bowls green becomes active. Seating is a rare commodity within the square as the majority of space is taken up by a bowls green on the north and a standard lawn on the south of the square. An out of business bistro fills the gap between these two green spaces, preventing any circulation or vision across the square. With an overall dull atmosphere, there is no lighting within the square and circulation is predominantly along the edges, only on the hottest days of the year the Finsbury Square becomes occupied entirely by surrounding business people. Finsbury Square doesn't respond to its social and economic needs, ignoring all desired functions it creates an unwelcoming space that serves minor purposes in busy urban environment where many major issues like poor circulation and a variety of large seating are nonexistent.

Existing Ecology Finsbury Square

• Annual bedding in the seasonal raised beds, including winter pansies, primroses, hyacinths, tulips and daffodils • Small shrubs in the unused filling station and in large concrete planters. • Closely clipped lawn and a bowls green with chemical spray. • Established London Plain and Conifers around the edges of the square.

Health Context "Suicide mortality rates per 100,000 population" ranks Islington as the highest borough in London.

"Risk factors contributing to deaths in Islington" clarifies smoking as the largest, followed by high blood pressure, both are highly influenced by stress "Incidences of crime attributable to alcohol per thousand population" shows Islington 2nd highest and City of London highest. "Estimate for Smoking" shows smoking in Islington as highest of all boroughs in London.

The squares qualities reflects the studies on the people within Islington regarding general health and wellbeing. Studies reveal that the residents and workers within Islington have the highest deprivation and work related stress within London. These factors influence other statistics amongst Islington resident and workers; highest estimate for smoking, suicide mortality rates and neurotic disorders within London. NHS state that smoking, alcoholism, suicide and mental health problems can all be brought on by stress from work.

Mental Health in Bunhill Mental ill health affects approximately 1 in 6 adults and 1 in 10 children. Current increases in unemployment and financial hardship will increase mental ill health and levels of stress within the community, specifically within the employees of Bunhill and Islingtons financial zone. Promoting positive mental health and well being is crucial in these working environments. Currently Islington tackles work stress, depression and anxiety by psychological therapy.

The concept The concept for "Sinking the Square & Raising the Spirit @ Finsbury Square" is to maximise the dynamism of the speed of urban life along the edges of the square, whilst sustaining a calm core that provides stress relief and the enhancement of wellbeing. Green represents the calm core. The pace of life is slowed down in this central space allowing for wellbeing to improve. The intention of this area is to become a sunken plaza with wellbeing attributes. Blue symbolises the speed of pedestrian life that is to be enhanced through dynamic design principles, vast open space and efficient circulation. The blue spaces will connect with the green spaces forming a barrier between the red area making the green secluded from urban stressors. Red represents the busy vehicular traffic forming an everpresent barrier around the blue space.

Masterplan Ground Level

GROUND LEVEL

The ground level surrounds the sunken plaza with a very open span promoting swift movements of pedestrians across the site. Mature London planes and raised planters create a barrier welcomed by users of the square that create opportunities for surrounding workers to enjoy the square. With vast open space on the top this makes a space for exhibitions and protests still possible with wide open spaces of granite paving. Ease of access and dynamism is vital on this level, this is possible with the diagonal crossway, laybys, wide north and south stepped entrances and the elevator in the south-east corner of the sunken plaza.

Sunken Plaza Here is where all the activities thrive throughout the day, with a pavilion drawing people to the core of the site, this opens up other opportunities. Businesses thrive under the east and west of the sunken plaza and can spill onto the porphyry paving to enjoy a meal in the sun or exercise under the Acer Griseums. SUNKEN PLAZA

SEATING

Vegetation The vegetation strategy is both conceptually and functionally informed. Whilst micro climate, site location and site conditions dictate the plant pallette, the concept has informed the choice of plant sizes, textures and growth habits.

Seating To accommodate people in the Square multiple seating techniques have been used; stepped seats with separation of spaces with use of planting, change in level, hidden behind walls or steps will provide a wide variety of users; singular, small or large groups, so the variety of seating opportunity has to be diverse. With many different views or different activities it will draw a large audience throughout the year. Lighting The lighting exists within the square to promote a longer usage for businesses and pedestrians in a safer environment. The long yellow stream of light guides pedestrians through the site to the most active edges whilst illuminating the trees from beneath creating a 365 day spectacle.

Planting in the Square

Finsb

The planting strategy involves improving wellbeing and decreasing stress, success of establishment in a changing urban climate, multiple degrees of enclosure for different user groups providing prospect-refuge and green infrastructure diversity and prominence.

Interesting plant textures have been proven to be beneficial to reducing stress and improving general wellbeing, this is a strong concept throughout the design at Finsbury Square. Stress can be reduced through a longer connection and intimacy with vegetation, the plants selected are evergreen which allow this experience to be not just a temporal event but a consistent luxury. The textures of the shrubs are soft and vibrant providing yearly interest. Scented foliage plants create a scented barrier around the sunken plaza. The planting pattern contains a formal essence from its previous beds, the colours of the Hebe's connect the beds to the landscape it faces. Hebe "Red Edge" contains grey tones that link to the granite and on the side facing the sunken plaza the Hebe ochracea "James Stirling" bonds through colour tone with the mass of prophyry paving. Enhancing the seating with multiple degrees of enclosure helped create areas of privacy for varied user groups. Erica arborea "Estrella Gold" provides a large consistent screening between opposing sides of the raised planter, whilst smaller plants like the Artermisia ludoviciana "Silver Queen" create intimate spaces on the edge of the bed to enhance the connection to nature.

Correct tree irrigation is vital for the healthy growth of urban trees, particularly in and around the City of London where by far the biggest contributor to the high mortality rates suffered is drought stress. With the implementation of fabricated soil structure systems the growth and fertility of the tree is strongly influenced, as it affects the movement of air, water and other nutrients required for trees to flourish.

The design is typically driven by the existing contours and structures, in this case it innovates the from of the existing car ramp to the underground car park, usually being designed to fit in with the surrounding architecture and general infrastructure. It is vital that the design has easy access and usability for everyone, safety must be considered at all times, The implementations from making the design safe can generally make the design ugly and not responsive to the vernacular or the rest of the aesthetic. It's important to consider the safety aspects throughout the design so they become immersed in the structure making a cohesive design. In a public space if the structure is connecting two areas it will be under a lot of use, this will call for great consideration when selecting the materials, as it must be durable and be able to accommodate vast amounts of traffic.

Stepped Seats PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT

These stepped seats provide safety with a slight fall on the tread navigating the water to the lot drains. On the top and bottom corduroy paving lines the edges creating a hazardous warning, with granite corduroy on the ground level and porphyry on the sunken plaza. Lighting is submerged into the bottom of the riser illuminating the tread creating safe usage throughout the day. The light illuminates the space in front creating a platform for activity at night. Slot drains collect water on the middle landing and at the bottom to prevent water from standing in these highly active pedestrian areas.

Engaging with the subterranean space creates a two tiered landscape. The ground tier accommodates the busy urban lifestyle by maximising the transport links, providing varied seating places, holistic formal planting in raised beds and mature tree canopies. The edges of the square are activated by constant pedestrian flow peaking before and after regular working hours and at typical lunch times. A provision of permanent seating around the square provides opportunity to observe movement in and around the square. Dynamic paving patterns and lighting help navigate the pedestrians throughout the site to the corners. With welcoming access to the sunken plaza the space can be enjoyed by all, businesses can thrive under the footsteps of passing travellers whilst spilling into the calm sunken landscape. The ease of access to the site is improved with strategies concerning pedestrian safety and swift circulation.

New Design Residential Promenade Park

Promenade Park, Maldon. River Blackwater

Maldon Council desired a park that would reveal local culture, retain a picturesque aesthetic with fantastic views promoted along the park. Promenade park faced many challenges in the design development, tackling problems with regular flooding, circulation, pedestrian accommodation, diverse activities and ties with local culture. The project was successful due to innovations in walkability, eliminating the dead spaces and expanding the existing positive spaces bring the whole park to life.

The Vision. Maldon is south east of England, approximately 45 miles from London, with the river Blackwater being the ancient route to the rest of Europe. The park has multiple access points and has a diverse user group so the landscape envisioned had to be suitable and able to take scrutiny from the locals and outsiders in the present and future. The park was developed piece by piece, reclaiming land and making it an average space that had no holistic design no ties with the local culture. Engaging with the natural landscape and reinventing the parks image to retain regular visitors but to attract a wider audience are vital.

The

Ingredient Salt.

was

The park was designed to with invigorate spaces to cater for any visitor, hosting many different activities and with multiple benefits allowing the park to be utilized all year round. With enriching ecological prospects inviting many different species of small mammals, birds, insects and microorganisms, providing a species rich landscape allowing visitors to learn from the landscape as well as appreciate it aesthetically. The forms and spatial strategy was created through exploration with conceptual approaches to acknowledge the salt industry through the medium of eco-revelatory landscape systems and strong conceptual recreational features. The main activities that will encompass the design and give it a high health value are water activities, spectating, dining and performances over the landscape whilst tasting flavour from the past. Thalassotherapy will be achieved alongside the emphasis on the recreational part of the site, using ancient methods of salt water bathing to improve wellbeing, immune system, circulation and skin. This park will prove to create an influx of visitors from a larger region and improve the general use of the site for longer periods of the day with more intensity and enjoyment.

Lighting Making the park safe at night for all users was solved through creative lighting solutions. With light emitting through the water in forms conceptually resembling cultural aspects of Maldon would become a selling point, making the park as busy at night as it would be in the day. The park would be associated with its invigorating sustainable lighting that would be coherent with the natural light being so a specific amount of light was constant in the park until closing time.

Spatial Programme Each of the nodal zones represent open spaces that are used for meeting other people, performances and view promotion. With plenty of opportunities to change spaces the park becomes more active with pedestrian live. Nodal Zone Spatial Transition Pedestrian Circulation

Water Control Quality hydrological management was needed to resolve tidal flooding problems, The resolutions were found through water sensitive design. And an integration of natural SUDS and innovating the sea wall. Rainwater Conveyance Wet Prairie Bioswale seep Cistern

Perspectives and Sections By viewing the two main entrance points it allows an understanding of the first impressions of the park, enabling a vision for the rest of the unseen park, where the entrances reveal the fluent concept. The section elevations provided show how the zones connect with brief descriptions of what each space contains, putting everything into a human perspective.

This small pool by the visitor centre has numerous programmes, in the day it allows visitors to swim and relax engaging with the natural properties of the salt water. In the night time it becomes a visual spectacle, allowing visitors to marvel at the interesting light patterns and plants illuminated around the water.

This zone connects four differently programmed areas, each unified by similar planting techniques, spatial programming and unified hard surface materials. In the centre of these spaces is a large open space for congregation, a nodal point where alternate views and activity opportunities are provided.

The visitor centre was inspired by the primitive sheds, or 'Salt Cotes' where salt was manufactured in maldon. The shape and programme was inspired by James Turrell, enabling an unification between the surrounding spaces, , its provides gateways to different sections of the park. The indoor open space with the framed sky view or the glass panoramic can be enjoyed by vast crowds. the structure provides maximum pedestrian access, choreographing immense views all the way travelling up and down the river providing roof activity with seating.

The Prunus serrula are to provide an interesting colour annually and attract birds so people can engage with them from the visitor centre. With a backing of Chesnut trees they prove to be a viable feature standing out even from the other side of the river.

The Cherry tree (Prunus avium) shaded walk to the rear of the visitor centre where the kiosks have been placed provide an excellent dining space amongst rich wildflower meadow planting. The planting in this area is to connect to the woodland surrounding maldon, using woodland planting and wildflower meadow to revive a forgotten natural vernacular.

The structures to the rear of the site are forms conceptually driven from the shape left when salt dries in lakes and salt beds. The typical shape would be circular or hexagonal but each one would very in shape and size. The need for a viewing platform, circulation and seating along the back of the lake inspired the protruding forms creating individual spaces becoming special islands for visitors to explore. They allow integration with the sites historical intimacy in design and gain reverence for Maldon.

The small Islands each coated with vegetation on the is brought from Maldons vernacular, this would include the local Lichens, salt tolerant grass or moss would coat the top creating a soft space for recreational and aesthetically viable features. The main recreation lake becomes a host to numerous activities, being large enough to enable school trips with a capacity of over 300 people. With its salt content it creates a bond between the River Blackwater that was non-existent.

This details the vast length the outdoor pool covers of the park. In the centre against the sea wall a sunken path touches the River Blackwater with a solid glass wall that accommodates superb views for visitors, standing safely against the river observing it flow along the promenade. The path will be lit proving romantic walks through the submerged space. Even when the tide is at its highest its still safe for visitors to come close to the water and bond with the borrowed landscape.

This sunken path made of Accoya wood waterproofed with EPDM foil, travelling through the lake allows a subtle interaction between the visitor and the water, a serpentine path that conveys pedestrians to the glass viewing point and to the visitor centre. The pool contains natural salt properties, similar to natural salt lakes that have been proven to increase the immune system functionality, improve circulation, promote overall wellbeing, and hydrate your skin, promoting an ancient healing method.

Coming from Maldon town this area is the first you will enter. With changing rooms on immediate entrance followed by a bandstand a band stand which allows for public shows that are viewed by gathering in the open space and on the salt mounds. The Maple trees provide exciting colours to the existing backdrop of chestnut trees.

Year 3 The Eiffel Tower Paris France

2012

Plan The Eiffel Tower,Paris. A competition between fellow students was held, to design the base of the eiffel tower. The idea of this project was to be as creative as possible to win the tender and making it a possibility in the ideal world. The current site isn't very friendly, with circulation issues and a boring immediate surrounding that doesn't feel appropriate for the dominating structure that was once the most controversial and to becoming the most iconic in the world. Remaking the controversy with a design that's convivial and would represent France in a way appropriate to the 21st century.

Design Background. Paris was once the centre of modern art. Imagine one of that worlds largest art installments around one of the most iconic structures in the world. In Paris, a place that was once thriving with modern art will be able to reclaim its title as the world capital of modern art with this immense art installment. Through diverse exploration with paint movement through different spaces that were symbolic of French pride and metaphorically representing the paint used by all the artists and art in Paris, a different purpose was marked onto various areas connecting art and the landscape in Paris. The design depicts a highly innovative art installment intervening with the landscape non- conventionally while complimenting the vernacular, dissecting the symmetry and dominance of the Eiffel tower to allow a new focus. The art installment will celebrate all artists and art during the golden era in Paris. The space around the Eiffel tower will become surreal and vibrant, activating all areas allowing high pedestrian use. With a combination of modern construction techniques to provide quality sustainable landscapes. With metaphorical paint oozing around the size, they become the roots for the Eiffel tower, the beacon of art boundaries, once a tower that was hated by a vast majority of locals and art critics has become a fingertip on a cliff edge for the future of modern art in Paris

Exploring different painting techniques using multiple utensils to get the appropriate final effect.

Making

images to resemble the concept was exciting and vibrant, engaging with French art culture digitally and authentically. Contemporary design inspiration from MFO park, Stadtlounge and Smart Highway merged with the paint footprint.

Year 2 Princess Alexandra Hospital Harlow Essex

2012

Princess Alexandra Hospital Plaza, Harlow. Harlow was designed quickly post WWII by sir Frederick gibberd, being very functional and bold were the design main principles. The hospital has remained the same extending in a puzzle fashion working out from the centre with little care for quality outdoor space. With research led design the Hospital desired a new plaza to the maternity ward that provided outdoor living space, simple circulation, improve staff and patients wellbeing. Eliminating the sense of boredom and self imprisonment was key, with the use of invigorating planting and healing strategies.

Plaza of Wellbeing. The space must be multifunctional yet appealing to all visitors, patients and staff with a variety of spaces that can be enjoyed briefly or over a period of contemplation. The baron landscape will be transformed into a modern plaza with healing properties, bringing in Frederick gibbers urban wedges of ecology to the plaza doors on a much smaller and diverse scale. With such dominating architecture the wildlife and structures built had to be at a sensitive human scale, with trees varying in height and form this creates different dimensions for people on the ground and in the hospital. Zoning occurs by strategic planting and grain colour of the floor surface making the navigation friendly and clear, removing the need for a cluttering of signs. The journey through the plaza is spacious, providing privacy where necessary, inside and outside the hospital. Complimenting the architecture the from be very linear but deter from the rectilinear buildings into a more contemporary style softened by the planting.

50m

Multi Storey Building With views onto the plaza, with more activity to watch and more green to observe wellbeing will improve.

The involvement of the elm tree recreates the healing process, reintroducing them in England and seeing them grow strong will mentally benefit the patients. The hybridized elms will add a nostalgia to the new design.

Cafe will accommodate approximately 60 people with wooden benches and a large connection to the indoor area amongst planting and running water.

The shapes of structures around the buildings add dynamism to the site, only softened by planting the centre of the site is invigorating with still water for contemplation and diversity in textures.

The plaza entrance is approached from a busy road so the natural acoustic barrier provided by the trees creates a rural feeling.

Equilibrium sculpture is bold exploring forms in the landscape, drawing from nature a sense of abstract and essential qualities of life that will help find a meaning as an individual. The balance of harmony between humans and nature I represented, placing it at the centre of the site would optimize its viewing ability and create a harmonious spirit in the plaza.

Planting The planting will be random, the new theory of perfect planting by James Hitchmough is to recreate the environment that would be found in a perfectly natural habitat where plants work at their optimum with each other. The plants are self maintaining, providing a sustainable solution for the hospitals tight budget. As the plants will remain in their optimal place, they create a self fixing cloth, essentially an immortal bed that can be spectated year round.

Year 2 Beaulieu Park Detached House Chelmsford Essex

2011

Beaulieu Park, Chelmsford The aim of this project was to reveal design a house exterior and surrounding land through purely computer programmes in Beaulieu Park, Chelmsford. Revealing vernacular, and bringing a CAD plan to life through 3DS MAX and Adobe Photoshop. The rear garden was the main focus, complementing the changes in topography by making different zones defined by material differences and activity.

The Family Garden

Raised Perspective

A restricted plant palette is the hardest garden to do but compliments clean lines and a minimal design. Clipped hedging and pleached trees support the strong architectural design, whilst creating a feeling of enclosure. A large terrace around the house in new sandstone with specially designed planters provides the size of entertaining space required by a family. The exterior lighting gives drama and excitement, allowing the extended use of the garden into the evening and adding a sense of fun to the space.'

Year 1 Love Nest Writtle Essex

2011

Love Nest, Writtle. A very conceptual project, creating a space for a couple to retreat to, feeling safe and comfortable amongst a very dense woodland. This project focused in development through modelling and sketching in perspective format to enter the users experience. This allowed intimate access to the site and its forms, presenting very conceptual shapes and access routes to an enclosed space. The illustrations brought the space to life, showing how the spaces could be engaged with and putting a human scale onto the site. The Couple wanted a nostalgic space reminiscent of a cave they used to visit as children in a place full of wilderness and mystery, away from urban life.

A Safe Haven The approaches were discrete with a timber walkway amongst high grasses that provided a sheltered walkway. THe romance was provided when they reached the architectural cave, passing over the stream that required coordinated help would initiate a bond between the couple as they then enter the contemporary cave. This space provided luxurious views of dense woodland accompanied by a soft stream that provided an acoustic barrier to the distant traffic. From this point they could watch the sun travel through a panoramic frame provided by the columns supporting the roof.

Year 1 Terrance Construction Writtle Essex

2011

Construction Plan

Terrace Construction, Writtle. This project demanded a fully function terrace for elderly and disabled people, working with the contours that led to a stream below. The structure had to contain a ramp providing wheelchair access to the stream below, views along the terrace and space to sit without disturbing the circulation was necessary. The design had to conform with British standards, supplying a setting out plan, a construction plan and site specific details.
