A Passageway to the Past

HERITAGE PRESERVATION & RENEWALMASTER PLANNING & ENTERPRISE CENTER PROJECT

Concept exploration

This site was a bustling dockyard (1567-1984) Each building served a purpose in the dockyard’s daily functions. The overarching purpose was to build ships to defend and attack. The separation from the town centre, barracks, training ground, and assortment of building types were justified. Together, they contributed to the grander scheme. of things After the dockyard’s closure in 1984 a number of things have changed. Subsequently, the site needs to transform inorder to continue thriving. I would like to explore and recreate the interconnection of architecture and new users throughout the site in relation to present day trends and explore what it means to revitalise architecture.

A new master planning scheme and an enterprise centre is being proposed for the site to unite users and assist in revitalising the site.

ENTERPRISE CENTER - BUILDING CONCEPT

MASTERPLANNING SCHEME

SITE STRATEGY

‘ Revitalization and conversion of old built structures are recognized as sustainable methods that can provide adequate protection and preservation of history and … ’

Studies and background information

Cultural value in Chatham : Building heritage, Impact of the closure, historic dockyard, age of sail

Sustaining the site (economically, sustainably) : Reusing existing buildings, tourism, university campus.

Studies were done on the remaining infrastructure, building materials and geographical conditions. The river Medway was a particularly strong inspiration for my design proposal.

The design intent :

The masterplan relies on creating new boundaries and new social hubs. it uses the stringent boundary as an advantage and redirects people.

The enterprise centre stems from using architecture as a threshold, creating a dialogue across users. The project is a flexible mixed-use scheme. Key programs include co-working spaces & event spaces. Inspired by the renewal theme it is organised as a living network. This is done through exploring urban patterns, flexible architecture & future workspace development. From the Age of sail transformed into the Age of tech.

Development of the design:

Building lies across the main road, connecting the river, site entrance and main functions on ground level. Workspaces are interconnected. I reused the warehouse portal frames found in nearby buildings and readjusted them for the building for integration of passive design.

CIRCULATION & WORKSPACES

Ground and structure: Maintain flexibility of the building. Portal frames and workspace structure is separate to enable future modifications. Window openings have moveable devices for the wind flow.

MODULAR UNIT & ANTI FLOODINGRESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Concept exploration

This is a project about building residential units. Explore the idea of disturbance and connection in architecture through the usage of Raum plan & a tetris-like formation. The layout is compact and open to modification in the future.

What am I proposing for the site?

A residential hub with studio apartments, 2-3 bedroom apartments, public

Tutor - Ashvin de Vos Project proposal - Individual work Typology - Residential, Community Year two - Semester two Site location - Faversham, UK

Analysing the relationship between urban transportation people movement. There are very loose links between the creek. The site is located between the creek giving potential to merge and connect different usages on either side of the creek.

The design intent :

Using levels to create a variation of spaces and walkways through the site since the site is prone to flooding. This project stems from creating a physical connection of buildings.

Development of the design:

Studies and background information

Faversham, uk is an ever-changing market townworkshops celebrating craftsmanship. All areas by the creek are prone to flooding and thus many of the areas by the creek have been left barren and limited the amount of visitors & residents to the area.

LOCATED ON A RAISED WALKWAY CENTRAL STAIRCASE SERVES ALL FLOORS & ACTS AS A SOCIAL SPACE FOR RESIDENTS.

TYPE 1A HOUSING PLAN

DWELLING WITH A WORKSHOP SPACE AND LIVING WHICH IS AIMED FOR USERS WHO OWN THEIR OWN BUSINESSES. SPACES ARE CONNECTED BY A STAIRCASE AND PATIO.

Ground and structure:

All buildings are elevated from the ground level, using these walkways, houses are connected to each other. The ruam plan and levelling of the homes are also based on the same idea.

ADAPTIVE REUSENURSERY & CARE HOME CENTER

Concept exploration

This project is based on adapting an abandoned timber seasoning shed (1880) into a new function. I would like to explore the concept of juxtapositions and contrast of ‘new and old’ through modular adaptation methods for historic buildings through insertions and weaving.

What am I proposing for the site?

Inspired by residents and the new town centre, the usage is an elderly carehome and nursery. The aim is to create a modern, carefree & jovial environment for children and seniors.

Studies and background information

Many well-crafted buildings in this area are in disuse. Certain areas are private and difficult to access. Prefabrication methods can be an option.

The design intent :

Inspired by the rectangular divisions of the existing shed. Programs are based on the disintegration of linear repetition new + old (dynamic + stable energy), thus creating spaces for shared programmes.

Development of the design:

Defining public and private spaces. It’s especially important for the safety of children and privacy of residents. Shifting modular blocks serve three functions : dividing public and private spaces, house a program and control circulation.

Ground and structure:

Switching material palette in new building wing to differentiate and embrace existing structure.

Details: insert insulating division panels into the existing structure. Timber hut is difficult to be adapted for habitation so residential blocks are located in the new wing INTERPLAY OF MATERIALS

NARROW HOUSING DESIGNSHOPHOUSE REDESIGN

Concept exploration

In this old neighbourhood (Wan Chai, Hong Kong), there is an abundance of shophouses in deterioration. The dimensions and form of the shop houses are unique to the plots of land. I would like to explore the possibilities of shophouse renewal , rebuilding and the limitations within a dense urban context.

What am I proposing on the site?

The project aims to create a playful kindergarten and living space for a family moving into the site.

Studies and background information

Potentials & limitations of site area

Narrow site (4m x 15m) facing north which results in limited daylight into deeper spaces. Site is also positioned on the roadside which poses danger to children and pedestrians outside the building.

Earliest Shophouse

The design intent :

Spatial planning for a shophouse : ergonomics , strata concept.

Since the father’s love for hiking and geology has influences on his family. The project begins from exploring different levels of stratum and forms from the sedimentary rocks. It forms different layers and heights for children and adults.

Development of the design:

Indented shophouse entrance to the playgroup provides safety to the children while leaving the pedestrian path open. Parents and children can enter with care.

Ground and structure:

Applications in other shophouse renewalSelecting a suitable program and usage for the site and understand it”s potential limitations. Preserve warehouse & spatial experience with double spaces.
