ILLUSTRATED REFLECTIVE REPORT Using art as a theme for designing the Brighton Grove Dementia care centre was inspired by Newcastle’s Public art. Since most of these sculptures are found in Newcastle’s city centre, I decided extend this tradition outside the city centre by replicating these statues in the landscape of my design. Art therapy can spark distant memories of patients suffering from dementia. It may also suggest verbal communication by patients. Therefore, the care home the key spaces in the care home are an art room and gallery. The art room is a space where patients draw images of Newcastle’s public art works to remind them of the city’s sculptures. Abstract art paintings of the city’s skyline have also been placed on different walls in the building. However, natural lighting in the art room can be improved possibly by changing its location. It is very dark, and therefore will need sufficient artificial lighting. The gallery showcases paintings of the city’s sculptures attracting the public. This also encourages them to interact with the dementia patients.

The restaurant size can be increased. Part of the restaurant space is taken up by the entrance foyer which makes it very narrow. The entrance of the dementia care centre can have more nuance from the rest of the buildings. This can be using materiality to make it standout and also attract the public.

The extended roof on the South end of the building encourages passage through the site which is impossible with the existing buildings. However, being located next to the bedrooms may break the patient’s privacy. This is because breakout spaces that give the patients access to the garden may become entry points into the building for the public. Shading in the courtyard spaces may be further reduced. The gallery on the East end of the building still causes shading. The garden may be made bigger since it is currently close to the existing building that causes a lot of shading. This may be unfavourable to plant growth.

CHARRETTE WEEK RELIEF, WHAT A RELIEF Led by Archie Bell THEMES: sculpture, relief, story-telling OUTPUT: frieze installation ‘In times of heightened anxiety amid political chaos and uncertainty. It is within the chaos of such social narratives that we watch unfold the changes that drastically effect our high streets, propose we use the sculptural form of the “frieze” often a carved low or high relief of images, that have often been used to depict stories, often of wars, religious or political significance.’ As a team we divided ourselves into small groups. Each individual unit focused on telling a story of a particular area of Northumberland street. My team used photos, videos and drawings besides sculpting to portray the life of the pathway in question. I found this a really exciting and highly imaginative approach to the brief. It was enjoyable because it was my first time to cast plaster.

PRIMER

As a studio we were tasked to create an installation from which patients with dementia can derive sensory experiences and also evoke memory.

boxes containing tools such as a telephone and type writer to remind a patient of their previous job as well as boxes containing origami papers to encourage activity.

As an individual group, we closely looked at Nuts on circles by Annin Gahwiller. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nuts on Circles is an emotive tool for a person with dementia. It is designed to stimulate interaction between the person and the object, highlighting the moment of activity.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

We also explored themes of light and shadow, made a green textured wall to stimulate senses of touch and smell and projected different videos onto fabric screens to create a feeling of calmness when the patients feel agitated.

Therefore, we made memory

FIELD TRIP

We visited quite a number of structures in Germany. These include; the Jewish museum, Reichstag building, Unilever building, Berlin Philharmonic, Hamburg Philharmonic, Berlin wall, the Nordic embassies and many others. These had various sustainability strategies such as double skin facades and using passive stack ventilation to mention but a few. They also ways of evoking memory through materiality and light.

CASE STUDY

The Nordic embassies in Berlin comprises of embassies for different countries. These include; Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The countries have different buildings on the site however they are all joined by a copper band. In my individual report, I broadly explored the materiality of this band and that of the single buildings briefly. I also looked at how the embassy of each country has endeavoured to replicate its elements to evoke memory.

MATERIALITY

The Nordic embassies display a sense of lightness compared to their neighbouring embassies using the copper band. The pre-patinated copper band It is attached onto a 15-metre-high stainless-steel frame in four distinct ways using a bolts and screws,. The coating of the copper louvers disperses sunlight revealing a delicate tone to the reflected light. The Royal Danish embassy has a glass façade enclosed in perforated steel panels that shield it from direct solar radiation and allow ventilation in the building. Inside the building has wood surfaces, and the thin concrete cuboids are used for services. The Icelandic embassy has a red rhyolite façade, curvy exposed concrete slabs in the interior that mimic corrugated iron, a standard construction material of Iceland. The building’s courtyard has a floor with black lava, brightened in darkness creating a magnificent outcome.

in due course due to weathering. The glass façade of the Royal Norwegian embassy has two qualities; clear and frosty glass that connect the building. The nonchalant envelope is contrasted by a warm interior whose surfaces and furniture are made of wood. The Embassy of Sweden has a glass cladding on its West and South elevations. The latter has a Gotland limestone envelope while the former has striped polished black granite slabs.. The interior has a wooden staircase and copper strips fixed into its wood-clad walls creating a lattice. `The ‘Felleshuset’ has a horizontal timber façade with narrow glazing strips. Scandinavian elements are revealed through the blue-green effect glass, exposed grey concrete, intimate wooden surfaces and polished stainless steel.

The embassy of Finland uses a glass, wood, steel and light concrete in their innate form; without chemical treatment. The glass structure has slender larch wood panels that have greyed

STUDIO RELEVANCE

The water pond is representation of the Atlantic ocean that joins Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. It breaches the copper band on two ends in a pure linear shape such that all embassies are mirrored in the water. Part of the floor of Icelandic embassy is covered by blacklava, which is brightened giving the atrium a captivating result in darkness. The black lava reminiscent of Iceland’s fascinating volcanic scenery that are associating with folklores. The Dimmubogir site in Northern Iceland was formed about 2300 years ago as a result of a huge explosion forming distinct and dreary sceneries. The Norwegian building is made up of both frosty and clear glass where the green cast on it is a reminder of the country’s glaciers. Research shows that 2,595 square kilometres of 323,000square kilometres is covered by glaciers in Norway. Therefore, 1% of the country’s mainland is wrapped in ice. The Nordic structures reminisce Scandinavian architecture this through the glazed atria and lit staircases. The warm wooden interiors also suggest a norm of the Scandinavian countries called the ‘hygge’, a style that makes comfort its key in buildings,attained through using natural materials.

S TA G I N G

The massing proposal has been largely influenced by the movement of the sun throughout the day. The angled parts of the building contain rooms that have been tilted at an angle of 30 degrees in the East such that some of them receive morning light. This form of light contains vitamin D that is known to boost the circadian rhythm of patients reducing night time alertness. The other rooms are parallel to these benefit from the sunset at the end of the day.

This will help to slow down the progression of dementia through stimulating the senses of touch and smell. Gardening can also encourage interaction with the community.

Break out spaces with access to the garden have been placed near the patient rooms.

ANALYSIS OF DEMENTIA IN THE UK

Fig.130.

Newcastle has a relatively high number of patients with Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commonly associated with defects in sense. It is the most common form of dementia in both men and women. My focus is on creating a care home for both male and female patients suffering from the disease. The care home will include activities that will stimulate their senses.

HISTORY

Newcastle General hospital

In 1861 the site located next to the Newcastle General Hospital had a workhouse which was further developed in 1902 comprising of sewing rooms and other facilities. There was expansion of the hospital in 1936. This led to creation of hospital facilities on the site in 1966.

The wind simulation of the building proposal proved that the design shape was successful. This is is because the courtyard space created in the middle is comfortable for sitting. The loaction of the entrance in East is also successful since there is a low wind speed in that direction. Fig.174

The third massing also proposal shows shading of the courtyard as a result of having a two storey in the South and a short corridor.

THINKING THROUGH MAKING WEEK

Following the light and shadow theme, I wanted to use transparent concrete to evoke a sense of memory. Here part of the concrete would be mixed with glass to create a shadow that is suggestive of some of Newcastleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public art works. (Right-Image from google)

I decided to develop sketches with shadows that are suggestive of Greyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monument in Newcastle city centre.

BRIGHTON GROVE DEMENTIA CARE CENTER

Alzheimer’s dementia is associated with loss of memory. I have used art as a theme to evoke memory of the dementia patients. ‘The most effective forms of art therapy are ones that are built on personal passions and memories.’ Therefore, the dementia care center has an art room where patients can make drawings reminiscent of Newcastle’s public art landmarks. These have also been replicated throughout the landscape of the building. The dementia care centre also has a gallery which the public can visit to see paintings of these landmarks. Since the North light is known to be good

for art, North facing roof lights have also been replicated throughout the rest of the building. The building has a public and private residential courtyard that have been separated by a glass corridor. This corridor also encourages wondering routes of the patients throughout the building. The extended roof on the south end of the building creates an interplay between light and shadow.Dichroic glass is used to reduce sharp contrast of the shadows. It also has seats that serve as resting points for patients.

Demolishing some buildings on site

The concrete is used to make floors of the building

Photovoltaic panels( PV) • Placed on the south facing side of the pitched roof where the sun is highest during the day. The slanting roof allows the panels receive maximum solar energy (Labouret, Michel 2010) • Using PV panels involves low zero carbon generating technology since it uses energy from the sun that is main natural source of energy to generate electricity. (Labouret, Michel 2010) Photo showing conversion of solar energy to electricity (Labouret, Michel 2010)

Ground source heat pump (GSHP) • GSHPs provide a low carbon source of heating. In the winter, water is pumped at a certain rate such that it passes into a heat pump evaporator. (Banks 2008) • The heat pump will extract heat energy from the ground water and its temperature will drop. • The heat extracted is upgraded to a temperature higher than that in the building and used to support the domestic water heating system. (Banks 2008 Photo showing use of a GHSP in winterBanks (2008) Fig.275
