POLICY PAPER: CO-DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Kingsgate with Art

ABSTRACT The project is based around the Kingsgate Workshop artists studio and attempts to learn about the cultural industries of local artists and the residents, extending the arts activities of Kingsgate Workshop into kilburn's communities.

The vision of this project is to mitigate the employment difficulties of artists, for example, those who cannot afford the studio's rent, lack business consciousness, and so on. At the same time, enrich residents daily art activities.

The project's framework is based on the ethics of co-design by Pablo Sendra. Propose developing the existing demolished space and those vacant sites or buildings that have low utilization. These appropriate sites will "suture" the Kingsgate Workshop、street infrastructure and public space to create a local cultural infrastructure network. To achieve these short-term goals through two visions: First, build an inclusive and dynamic platform for all types of artists and makers; Second, form an art bridge between artists and the locals. Through interaction and co-design between artists and residents, release cultural diversity, inclusiveness, creativity, and cultural potential.

At the same time, based on these networks, we will create long-term goals that imagine this network as a continuous growth system that radiates to other cultural places, like music venues, theatre, and so on.

Co-design requires more than simply individual ideas; It also requires actions that suggest group thought.

Community-based codesign must be in place once a concept design has been co-created till the end. The intensity will undoubtedly vary depending on the project's stage.

Partnerships with community organisations, neighbourhood associations, local companies, third-sector organisations, local governments, and other stakeholders are crucial for delivering a co-design process. Communities may jointly drive the process, obfuscating the distinction between the process's promoter and participants.

Investigating the existing social infrastructures— those places and institutions that permit gatherings, social interactions, and care networks formation.

Co-design process can learn from those places and organisations that promote social interaction.

It is essential to consider historical injustices, structural inequalities, and power disparities when forming partnerships, conducting preliminary research, organising co-design activities, interacting with people, and making deciisions. The outcome of the co-design process are responsible to befinit everyone and does not prejudice or exclude any community.

In order to resolve power inequalities, it is crucial to equip individuals with the abilities to take part in and co-lead the decision-making process by providing educational events. Extra effort need to be exerted to engage communities that are less inclined to participate, which entails offering various forms of participation to different groups.

Give a clear explanation of the co-design process goals, considered spaces, how the co-created proposals will be used, and what participants can expect to come out of it. It takes time annd money to plan, set up, and facilitate a co-design process using the aforementioned concepts. Therefore, codesign needs to be factored into the timeline and budget of every project.

RESEARCH QUESTION How to establish a co-creative cultural infrastructure for the local artists and residents in Kilburn?

METHODOLOGY Site survey Interview with artists and residents A potential scenarios for local cultural network (It is based on co-design strategy by Pablo Sendra)

ARTIST'S WORK TYPE

SITE HISTORY Kingsgate Workshop used to be a Victorian warehouse reused in the 19th century, which was built as a building factory by John Allen and his Sons. After that, the site became a furniture storage and other business until it was demolished. In 1978, a group of local people proposed to the Camden Council to prevent demolition and transform it into an artists and markers studio. Now developed into a multi-use studio available for artists and markers.

The site is located on the east side of Kilburn Grange Park and the west side of Hampstead and near kilburn high road.

It is a multi-use art space, offering an affordable workplace for a stimulating mix of designers, makers, and artists. It is established in 1978 and designed by local builder John Allen.

INTERVIEW WITH ARTISTS The interior of the workshop, which was not intentionally designed but built by the artists themselves, has many illogical aspects. Through the interviews, the artist residents had the most direct feelings about the spatial and functional arrangement of Kingsgate Workshop. They raised the issue of the lack of necessary spaces, such as storage rooms, lounges, larger exhibition spaces, and convenient corridors. In addition, some artists also noted the importance of space for communication, not only with the artists but also with the public. Considering the crowded status of the existing space, expansion is an inevitable trend.

ARTISTS'S CHANLLEGE

Economic Instability It is the biggest factor hindering the career development of artists. Renting a studio and purchasing creative equipment are big investments at the beginning of their career.

Due to the unstable income, many young practitioners and even multi-year practitioners need to work part-time or full-time to support their artistic dreams. Selling art is the main source of income for artists. Some artists find it difficult to market themselves to clients because they feel that entrepreneurship is contrary to their artistic temperament.

Without the help and representation of art galleries, it is difficult for artists to reach more customers and formal sales. Especially for some young artists, they are less commercially aware and unable to properly price their works.

Development & Recognition Many artists say that the recognition of their work is their greatest motivation to continue creating. The reality, however, is that not all artists get a lot of exposure. This has somewhat dampened artists' confidence.

Social Networks Artists are keen to build a social network. In the case of a lack of inspiration, connecting with colleges can spark new ideas. Collaboration and communication among artists in different fields is beneficial to artists' professional development.

Vulnerable Group Support The arts should not belong only to a minority, and the rights of the vulnerable group should be taken into account.

The disabled, young practitioners, and marginalized populations should be given some special assistance to participate in the arts.

INTERVIEW WITH LOCAL PEOPLE

INTERVIEW CONCLUSION

Based on the conclusion from the survey of artists, 20 kilburn residents were interviewed about the frequency of exhibition visiting, the annual spending on artworks, and their interest in art workshops. They ranked exhibitions, art purchases, and then workshop participation. Then, detailed research was about their focus on exhibition choices, the types of workshops they were interested in, and the their choices of favoriate venues. As co-creators, public input on the interaction of functional spaces in Kilburn is also important to design decisions.

Based on a survey of artists' needs and dilemmas, five categories of spaces have been compiled: Artist & maker workshop, Career support, Community engagement & education, Co-creative programme, Market & merchandise.

Some of these spaces are only accessible for artists and some are public friendly.

Combined with the results of the questionnaire survey of the Kilburn residents, the level of demand for these spaces by the public and artists was summarized and will be used as the basis for the actual layout of the venue.

CASE STUDIES-MEANWHILE GARDENS

POTENTIAL SITE ENVIRONMENT ANALYSIS After chossing potential sites that include vacant space、demolished building、community centres、school、retail shops, extend some functional area from Kingsgate into these sites and adaptive reuse. They are divided into different art industries with short-term goals and try to activate community's cultural diversity and improve career support.

Project statement: Pandemic periods result in a 'decline' in urban vitality and the under-utilisation of urban space. More vacant land is often perceived as a sign of economic decline and is identified as inactive space. In this context, the effective use of unproductive community spaces can contribute to the sustainability of communities, streets and cities. The use of abandoned buildings, unused shops, open spaces, etc. can be offered to groups of organisations or individuals to engage in active commercial exchange activities, promoting the vitality of the local community and creating lasting economic and social value in the long term.

URBAN POCKET FARM —— A SELF-SUFFICIENT MODULAR FARM SYSTEM

Location In the age of small-scale peasant economy, people were self-sufficient in their own production to meet their own food needs

Wuhan city, China

Hongshan district

Site

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period

BACKGROUND : In the context of urbanization, both natural and unnatural factors have strengthened the connection between cities, agriculture and people in the process of urban development. The urban expansion problem we are facing at this stage will inevitably cover some agricultural land, affecting the pattern and nature of the food system. To promote sustainable urban development and build a resilient community, I have initiated research and exploration in productive landscape design that created a self-sufficient modular farm system for the New Green Land community, mainly in terms of education, food production and distribution, and sustainability.

The project includes new agroecological technologies such as vertical farms and aquaponic systems.

AIM: This project plays an active role in promoting urban health, public participation, social inclusion, and a sustainable urban environment.

AIM: Create a modular farming system for self-sufficient urban communities

Education

Food Production & Distribution

Strategy 2-food production&distribution

Strategy 1-education

Planting cultivate children's environmental protection concept. Let the children experience the arduous process of labor and feel the hard-won food. In order to cultivate good qualities such as diligence, thrift and environmental protection.

Community residents plan their own land on the farm as a family, and can grow daily necessities such as vegetables, melons and fruits, etc. In addition, productive landscapes can also be combined with community social parks to provide people with leisure s pace and adjust the local ecological climate. Can be combined with the community app FARM! farm!

Sustainability 1.1 combine with social garden

identify and explain the practical activities of urban agriculture in communities

integrate various methods into modular farming system to improve food production and distribution

Specimen collection making plant specimens can avoid the regional and seasonal restrictions of some plants. At the same time, the plant specimen preserves the shape and color of the plant for future re-observation and research.

construct a sustainable modular agricultural system

1. Planting: family farm

1.2 combine with green belt

display and document information, disseminate agricultural knowledge, including planting method, harvest season, sowing

deliver organic food or production promote local agriculture production economy use community app to share food distribution

integrate new technology like vertical farming, aquponic system, roof garden, algae incubator

Aim A future food city with flexibility and self-production capacity in the areas where food is most scarce in America

Vision A flexibility and self-production capacity city: embed highquality food production into American urbanism, but shows how urban infrastructure can also deliiver important ecosystem services

Sharing room knowledge and theories about agricultural planting, productive landscaping, sowing and harvesting can be consulted at any time; there are regular professionals here to share relevant knowledge

2. Harvesting

Framework How to broadcast productive landscape to residents?

How & What

What methods apply to food productio and distribution process?

How to manage a modular agricultural system to urban communities?

1. Nutrient Management Infrastructure: city resource recorvery system recovers biological source like phosphorus and nitrogen from the wase 2. Growing Media Infrastructure: traditional soil planting combined with hydroponic plants; plat productive landscapes on both sides of the road 3. Water Recorvery Infrastructure: classify, purify water and treat sewage; soil-to-soil loops, utilize small-scale heating and energy consumption as a supplement to the central grid 4. Food Processing/Distribution Format: Food handling, preparation, packaging, distribution and sales facilities

3. Food processing and packaging

Interact with insects insects can exercise a child's observation ability, thereby improving an educational method for children to observe other things. Satisfy children's curiosity and have good attraction, enrich natural knowledge

4. Selling and delivery

To observe the growth of crops, users can scan the crops in the app, and can observe the conditions, soil conditions, and maturity seasons required for crop growth in real time in the future; picking and harvesting on the harvesting day can be done with the help of tools rented by the farm. Families who want to increase their income can participate in the food packaging process to conduct food supervision and quality inspection; other users can place food orders on the app and the community trucks will be responsible for delivery, and they need to pay delivery fees to increase community income.

Strategy 3-sustainability

Organic Waste Management

Each layer function Water collection and recycling system

The domestic waste is transported to the waste treatment station, and the organic fertilizer is produced by ecological treatment, and these wastes are used as soil enhancers instead of chemical fertilizers. Vegetables, fruits, etc. are used for the final waste generated by consuming fertilizers for recycling.

Inspiration

What interests me is that within the LGBTQ community, 'transgender people' have different gender perception issues than others. Their gender identity and gender expression is often different from the one they were born with.

MORE THAN QUEER AIM A non-sexist bathing space designed to promote human communication and confront the issue of their gender perception.

I think everyone has the right to choose their own gender perception, and we should confront our gender perceptions and not set boundaries in our daily interactions.

INTRODUCTION This is an inclusive bathing space that transcends gender perception.

From a psychological point of view, I divide people into three personalities: Narcissism, Ordinary and Self-abasement.

By anthropomorphizing space to achieve the fusion of different personalities and facilitate human-to-human communication.

What we need to think about is how to build new cognitive relationships. How to look at ourselves, communicate with ourselves and others. Through literature references, I learned that water can blend all boundaries, so I made a bathing space where I wanted to use water to weaken gender boundaries.

Personality Analysis Narcissism

Ordinary

Self-abasement

Narcissism Psychology outlines three types of personality: Narcissism (more showy than introverted)), Ordinary (showy equals introverted) and Self-abasement (showy less than introverted). The different colours represent the different personalities of people, with red representing the narcissist, yellow representing the ordinary personality and blue representing the inferior personality. Here, I have observed these three personalities in their lives, recorded their body language, extracted the forms and transformed them into the following design symbols.

This leads to another route.

Afterwards, you can enter the changing rooms on the first floor, where you can choose your favourite clothes.

It is a social space where people can make friends and interact with them.

Semi-private baths are also available. They can commune with themselves and connect with others in the bath.

The baths are combined with changing rooms and have a small rest room. A place where people can purify themselves.

This route is designed for people with a normal personality.

Their spaces are on the semi-private side.

This route is designed for people with a narcissistic personality. Their baths are open public baths in order to show themselves.

This leads to another route.

This route is designed for people with low self-abasement. Their space is predominantly private and sheltered.

People can go from the social space on the first floor to the dressing rooms to match their outfits and finally to the private bath on the ground floor.

There are single dressing rooms, private baths and sheltered social spaces.

"I am superior and I deserve the love and help of others"

"I don't have anything special, I just want an uneventful life"

"I was always dependent on the people and circumstances around me and inevitably developed some nagetive emotions"

Character

Perspective I want to achieve the integration of different personalities in the form of space.

Red represents narcissists; the space is open to show their own charm; yellow represents ordinary people; the space is semi-obscured; they sometimes like to show themselves, sometimes like to hide themselves; blue represents selfabasement; the space is private; multiple obscured structures are staggered between the various spaces to reduce the visual communication between people in order to achieve self-communication.

Narcissism

I am N, a person who likes to show off myself without any reservation and wants to be noticed by others.

But at times I can be a bit sensitive and vulnerable.

Ordinary

I am O. I am a moderate person who wants to live my life in peace.

Self-abasement

I am S , I always like to hide myself and reduce or avoid contact with others to prevent them from finding out my weaknesses.

Problems and Strategies

With the accumulation of marine garbage, the discharge of waste water, commercial shipping and other factors, the water quality of the coastal area in Binhai Town, Pudong district, Shanghai is deteriorating gradually.

WATER PARADISE 1960

Water pollution has gradually become a hot topic in daily life.

The government and people from all walks of life have put forward many measures to control water pollution.

If the water are completely polluted, where should people and aquatic animals go. Let's change our thinking! Try to solve the problem of water pollution with the wisdom of algae.

Strategy

Human activity needs

The special structure of algae can adsorb heavy metals and has strong carbon dioxide fixation ability, which is very helpful to water purification; It converts carbon dioxide into oxygen through photosynthesis to meet human needs At the same time, algae also contain inorganic salts, which are fixed by photosynthesis to convert them into carbohydrates for fish feed.

I used algae as a medium to create a space for human activities, and at the same time concretize human behavior needs. Mainly divided into people’s own behavioral needs, group behaviors of people, interactions between humans and animals, interactions between humans and plants.

People's own behavior and activities are mainly reflected in sleeping, oxygen inhalation, and self-learning. oxygen

Design massing analysis

By cutting acrylic to make the model volume space, used to show the relationship between people and space.

Architecture The generation of spatial volume is deduced in the form of points, lines and planes. Through experiments, it is concluded that the architectural space is a wrapped layout, represented by a square-shaped wire frame. The shape of the block is obtained through the deduction of the line, and the overall shape of the building is finally obtained.

After many experiments, the growth trajectory of the algae is recorded to obtain the final architectural space, membrane structure and bubble structure shape.

And these shapes are deduced and transformed to form the spatial structure of the model.

Algae experiment The algae experiment lasts for 21 days. By cultivating algae, observing and recording its growth process, the shapes of building structure, membrane structure and bubble structure are obtained. And deduced and transformed these three forms to get the final model form.

Algae membrane Extract the shape of the membrane structure in the experiment and perform deduction and transformation, generate a surface in the shape of a line, and copy multiple to get the membrane structure layer that finally adapts to the spatial layout.

Oxygen bubble The shape of the bubble structure in the experiment is extracted and deduced and transformed, and the plane shape is transformed into a 3-dimensional structure, and multiple oxygen-absorbing bubble layers are formed to adapt to the spatial hierarchy of the building and the layout of the membrane structure.

The bubble structure is mainly used to store the oxygen released by the algae plants. The oxygen is stored through the air bag and part of the oxygen is transported to the building through the exhaust port, which has met the survival needs of people.

The floor plan is divided into two levels: the water surface and the space below the water surface. The surface is mainly the space for human activities, and the space below the water surface is for aquatic organisms activities.

People can choose bubbles for oxygen inhalation and leisure activities according to their own needs. Three bubbles of different sizes, small, medium, and large, are selected for analysis. Bubble No. 3 can accommodate three people for activities and has a low oxygen content; Bubble No. 1 is the smallest and can only accommodate one person for activities. Holds the highest oxygen content.

People can chat with others in the social area, then they can choose to enter the algae plant research room to observe and study the growth habits of functions of different algae, thereby playing a role in popular science education. They can also enter the rest area for selfstudy or other leisure activities. After passing through the rest area, you can enter the hydrophilic area below and engage in water activities with friends. Finally enter the sleeping area.

As the years go by, people are becoming more and more concerned with the changes in nature. Our impact on nature may only be the beginning as we move genomes between species, driving natural populations, with new genetic tools promising to create a new form in our ability to manipulate organisms.

URBAN SKELETON EVOLUTION

We have been shaping and changing natural communities; could this influence on nature be reflected in the evolutionary trajectory of people and even the development of cities?

To test my hypothesis, I consulted books and films on post-nature, human evolution, and the development of cities. And I have linked the books to my supporting evidence and summarised: I believe that genes and people are indispensably linked in the process of development. I will explain the specifics on the next side.

Excerpt- "The ecological era we find ourselves in — whether we like it or not, and whether we recognise it or not — makes necessary a searching revaluation of philosophy, politics and art. The very idea of being ‘in’ an era is in question. We are ‘in’ the Anthropocene, but that era is also ‘in’ a moment of far longer duration."

AIM: I want to explore the relationship between human evolution and urban evolution.

INTRODUCTION: In the context of postnaturalism, we explore the genes that are at the heart of guiding human development.

In this series of explorations, from genetic development to man and by extension to the city, genes have been subjected to inevitable aberrations through post-natural interventions.

Together with three friends, I initiated a light and shadow performance art to express this series of actions that took place, and through this activity, I extended my personal speculative thoughts on the future development of the city.

Excerpt- "The real use of artificial intelligence is to help us reuse genes and organisms to achieve symbiosis - a hybrid model that is mutually beneficial to humans."

In the post-natural era, the effects of genetic changes on human skeleton lead to changes in human behavior. Can this change be extended to architectural structures?

We selectively reproduce the organisms considered most desirable, thus changing the genetic composition of the object.

To test my hypothesis, I consulted books and films on post-nature, human evolution, and the development of cities. And I have linked the books to my supporting evidence and summarised: I believe that genes and people are indispensably linked in the process of development. I will explain the specifics on the next side.

The human capacity and curiosity to manipulate the raw materials of life has grown over time, and looking to the future, the natural trajectory of bioengineering may change our understanding of what it means to be human. As Donna Haraway suggests, perhaps the future of humanity is to merge with plants and animals to achieve a symbiotic relationship.

This led me to the idea that the effect of genetic changes on the human skeleton facilitates the occurrence of human behaviour. Can this change be derived into architectural structures?

In order to realise this hypothesis, we carried out an actual spatial art construction, combining projections and kinect sensors to create a spatial interpretation of human interaction with light and shadow, and to generate a series of behaviours that were recorded through strobe photography.

Performance

Skeleton Point Recording I have made a spatial interpretation based on the story line of the image and incorporated the act of human interaction. The human dynamics and skeletal changes were also recorded by means of stroboscopic photography.

Sketch

Pavilion Form Extraction

In conjunction with the previous side of my thinking, I have documented human skeletal changes through stroboscopic photography and visualised the dynamic development between bones. I believe that genes control the development of skeletal changes in humans, as reflected in three connection points.

The space generates a form that can be captured with my interactive interpretation, which is derived from the genetic changes acting on me and me acting into the space, and envisages whether this force can be derived into the future city and have an impact on it, so I extract my dynamic changes and generate a skeletal vein, while envisaging whether the form of this skeletal arrangement can intervene in the future spatial order of the city. It can be extended into skeletons but not limited to this.

Sketelon Extension By selecting three connection points in the human skeleton, I further testify to my vision. Firstly, the connection between the spine and the rib cage, which leads to the development of human movement; secondly, the connection between the spine and the pillar, which acts as a support and anchor; and thirdly, the connection between the spine and the interspine, which is used to take up the dynamic development between the two spinal segments.
