PROJECT 1

Traffordside Masterplan : Breaking Boundaries

The project is a masterplanning project which started with a city wide research in a specific city of choosing. Using the research as a basis, a framework was created in order to answer certain key findings within the city itself using an urban theory text. In this case it would be Jane Jacobs’ Life and Death of Great American Cities. Within the masterplan, it aims to explore the feasibility of neighbourhood ‘boundaries’ as an area to be developed as a point for concentration, diversity and density. The scheme itself is located in Trafford , sandwiched between a number of natural and manmade borders. These became key points of multi-use within the masterplan, connected by a central spine running north of the River Irwell towards Old Trafford. Originally an area heavily focused on industry, the masterplan retains and reorganises elements of this while diversifying uses.

BLOCK TYPOLOGIES

MEWS

A research towards block typologies were also done to better understand the entirety of the masterplan. Due to the nature of the site, a handful of typologies is used to better suit the different character and uses that has been assigned to the masterplan

HYBRID COURT/PERIMETER Example

Example

Location

Description

Mews are typically placed within a large perimeter block or even terraces to allow for more housing to be created. Typically, mews do not have their own private garden which would deter some people from living here. However, the nature of the public front of the mews are usually quieter than the typical terrace hence it creates a nice public atmosphere.

TERRACE

Location

Example

Description

One of the typical block typology, terraces are used within the masterplan in areas with limited width but long. At the same time, it is also used for industrial areas to create rows of industrial unites.

PLINTH BLOCK

BROKEN PERIMETER

Location

Description

The court hybrid is when the block would be a court and a perimeter block at the same time due to the nature of the area it is in. This type is located only near the canal as the pedestrianised roads beside the canal meant that resident on that side of the block would park inside of the block whereas residents that faces the main road would park on the outside of the block. Because of this, the gardens in this block is on the roof.

FULL BLOCK

Example

Location

HYBRID COURT/PERIMETER

Example

Description

The perimeter block is the most abundant typology within the masterplan as it allows for full utilisation of the surrounding streets. Characterised with having gardens inside and the parking outside.

Location

Description

Broken perimeter is characterised by having one or more sides of its block omitted from its form. This is usually done to accomodate smaller spaces where a full perimeter is not suitable as it creates an uncomfortable central zone. Typically this type is used for apartment blocks but can also be used for townhouses and industrial unit.

Location

Description

Plinth block is typically used for tall apartment buildings with mixed uses on the ground level. The plinth usually becomes the private open spaces for the residences

Location

Description

Full block is characteristic of blocks that are specialised in one uses. For example, multi storey car parks are examples of full blocks but at the same time there are also other uses such as sports and recreational facilities that becomes a full block.

Trees within the masterplan are chosen based on the character of the open spaces. Spaces that needs to be more open would require trees with a light canopy whereas places that needs to be enclosed would utilise trees with heavy canopy to create enclosure

Different character areas within the masterplan would require different types of pavement material. It also depends on the amount of traffic which would affect the wear and tear on the materials used.

Example: Canalside

SECTION G-G

G

Mills Playing Park

Alongside the canal, there is a pedestrian walk which would be suitable to be made out of stone or brick as it creates a character to the space. It can withstand the wear and tear as there would not be any high intensity vehicular movement on the surface as its pedestrianised.

Example: Central Boulevard The Central Boulevard would be most suitable to use concrete slabs or decorative asphalt as ieventhough it would not be used by vehicles, there would be a high number of pedestrian increasing wear and tear. At the same time there is also a tram line going through it which further increases the wear and tear.

Materials: Buildings Similar to the pavement treatment, different areas of the masterplan also requires different materials for its buildings. The most common in the area would be brick to reflect the industrial heritage of Manchester but other materials can also be used.

PROJECT 2

The Cooperative Masterplan: Old Moat

With a collaboration with a real life client, the project aims to create a resilient housing community in Old Moat. The challanges for this project comes from the conflicting nature of the differing clients ; Southway Housing Trust and MUCH ( Manchester Urban Co-Housing Group ) Within the masterplan, there are two different types of housing, namely the social housing which sits on the periphery of the masterplan with the co-housing group house in the centre. The masterplan itself is located on the previous Old Moat community centre site with a number of key players that is not necessarily well connected to one another. The proposal aims to become the conduit for this connections to be made allowing the site to be a hub of connection for the locales.

PROJECT 3

Practice works

Throughout my year out, I was able to be involved in several different projects in the practice that I worked at. The project ranges from small office buidlings to large stadium bids. Each of these projects presents a new challenge each time as different needs were taken into account. One of the projects involves designing a stadium grand stand extension/ refurbishment for a bid proposing a new aesthetic for the stadium. Another project involve designing a council office building which specifically focuses on adaptability and environmental design.



IPOH STADIUM REFURBISHMENT

Location : Ipoh, Perak , Malaysia Client : Ipoh City Council Project Year : 2017 The projects involves a conceptual design for a stadium refurbishment bid for the Malaysian Games 2017/2018. The main focus was to change the existing main stand of the Ipoh Stadium into a new world class stadium that can cater to VIPs. Included were new retail units, indoor bus parking and also a mini running track.

TAPAH MUNICIPAL COUNCIL OFFICE

Location : Tapah, Perak, Malaysia Client : Tapah Municipal Council Project Year : 2017 A new municipal council building was set to be built for the Tapah Municipal Council with a goal for a new sustainable led design. At the same time, one of the key design drivers was the adaptability of the rooms within the building allowing them to change it according to their needs.

JPS OFFICE PROPOSAL

Location : ipoh, Perak, Malaysia Client : JPS Project Year : 2017 A new office was set to be built on the area for JPS as the existing one has been there since 1980s and are in need of a face lift. A design was proposed taking into consideration the specific needs of the office. One particular item that was requested was the building needs to connect the old buildings to one another across the existing parking lot.
