MASTERPLAN PRECEDENCE
2.3 Masterplanning /Govan Art City The desire for spiritual fulfilment through art is inherently human, as is the drive to congregate and share experiences. Throughout history, public space was called upon to be the scene of the meeting between art and people. In the public sphere, this relationship is a three-variable equation (art, the public, and the built context in which individuals coalesce into the public) which, due to recent societal changes, is beginning to splinter into countless facets. Govan Art City is an autonomous social centre, situated in the heart of the district. The site consists of three main buildings and a collection of bars, artist studios, space for designers, office of cultural organisations and a variety of live music: free jazz, techno, punk rock and DNB. Art City features contemporary art by artists from various backgrounds that are usually linked by a common curatorial theme, providing a framework for exploring contemporary social, economic and political ideas that influence the global agenda. With so many different artists involved, audiences are able to experience and engage with a wide variety of contemporary art practices to come to their own unique understanding of the curatorial theme. Art city is different to a regular exhibition because of its large scale and use of multiple venues. The proposed program of the masterplan has the intention to actively engage the residents of the district within a creative setting, while also creating a space that would enhance the quality of live. By creating this unique space, it is expected to attract people from other communities and such offer possibilities to the people from Govan to grow as a community through collective collaboration.
2.4 Masterplanning Analysis The three diagrams on your left shows the analysis on the existing govan urban blocks where we looked into the building typology and marked down of the historical buildings that we should remain in the further development.
2.5 Masterplanning Diagram The urban intervention for our masterplanning is to create streets within our Art City to connect with the River Clyde where we have relocate the residential area and redesign the urban blocks to suit our design intention.
MASTERPLAN PRECEDENCE
2.6 Masterplanning Precedence
Christiania , Copenhagen Freetown Christiania is a green and car-free neighbourhood in Copenhagen, best known for its autonomous inhabitants’ different way of life. It was established in 1971 by a group of hippies who occupied some abandoned military barracks on the site and developed their own set of society rules, completely independent of the Danish government. Freetown Christiania is a mix of homemade houses, workshops, art galleries, music venues, cheap and organic eateries, and beautiful nature. It is still a society within a society, for an example you cannot buy a house in Christiania. You have to apply for it, and if successful, it is given to you. The area is open to the public – even with guided tours, run by the local Christianites.
Metelkova, Ljubljana. Metelkova maintains a fine balancing act: this illegally occupied alternative capital of culture is autonomous but not anarchistic, liberal but not lawless. This is Metelkova Mesto – one the largest, and arguably most successful, urban squats in Europe. Sprawled across 12,500 sq m of an abandoned army base, the self-proclaimed city has become the leading centre of underground music and art in the region. Vivid, cracked-tile mosaics adorn the walls of the complex’s galleries and studios; rusty sculptures, fashioned from broken bike frames and upturned oil drums, cover its concrete gardens. And at night thousands of students and artists congregate to revel in its streets and bars. “Metelkova is a centre of urban culture,” explains Zoran Janković, the current mayor of Ljubljana who is sympathetic to the squat. “It’s a place for critical reflection, civic engagement – and with its activities it is establishing Ljubljana as an area where ideas of all generations can freely flow.”
Venice Biennale Venice, or “La Serenissima,” is Italy’s salon for art and culture if ever there was one. Besides being notable for its architectonic and scenic beauties, this lagoon city has also been the protagonist of Italian art and culture since the Doges’ rule, when both the Marine Republic and publishing were born. The city’s millenary history of culture gave to the world a great bequest, i.e. the Venice Biennale. The Biennale di Venezia in Italian, the event in its present form comprises several expositions. No city is more ideally suited to hosting a major international art show than Venice. Millions of people throng here to experience its artistic wonders cocooned in an equal number of architectural wonders, while the Art Biennale is never less than a fascinating, if sometimes self-indulgent, counterpoint to acres of Gothic stone and Baroque marble, to innumerable art galleries, masterpieces hung over altars in a congregation of churches and chapels, and a treasury of public sculpture.

2.7 A day of life in Govan A day of life around the site and the photos show the site atmosphere in the town. The crowd on the street is pretty less where only a few stalls were opened in the Govan Market. Riverside museum is the current trend in Govan as it is actually one of the top-most-visited building in United Kingdom.

3.7 CASE STUDY
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) School of Art, Design and Media (ADM) Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has earned itself a reputation as one of the leading science, technology and research universities in the world. The university’s main 200-hectare Yunnan Garden campus, situated on the southwestern outskirts of Singapore, houses Singapore’s largest on-campus residence infrastructure including 16 halls of residence for undergraduates and a graduate hall. NTU was the Olympic Village for the first-ever Youth Olympic Games in 2010. Its mission is to nurture creative and entrepreneurial leaders through a broad education in diverse disciplines. The 215,000-square-foot School of Art, Design and Media (ADM) is the island nation’s first professional art school, and the refurbished ADM Gallery is a unique, high-tech creative space in Singapore. Fitted with museum track lighting and climate-controls to safely present sensitive and valuable works of arts, the Gallery meets today’s high international museum standards and hosts exciting contemporary art exhibitions by artists from Singapore, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Varying from 2-5 stories, the key feature of the building design is the green roof that slopes almost at a 45-degree angle. Formed by two sloping, tapering arcs that interlock with a third, smaller arc, the roof of the School of Art, Design, and Media was cast in heavily ribbed, reinforced concrete. The sunken, almond shaped courtyard is formed by the space in between the building’s two main arms and is beautifully reflected from the interior high performance, double glazed glass curtain wall facades. Accentuated by fountains and a “floating” performance platform, a reflecting pond adds to the communal ambiance while helping to cool the center space.
The Everyman holds an important place in Liverpool culture. The original theatre, converted from the 19th century Hope Hall chapel, had served the city well as a centre of creativity, conviviality and dissent (often centred in its subterranean Bistro) but by the new millennium the building was in need of complete replacement to serve a rapidly expanding production and participation programme. Haworth Tompkins’ brief was to design a technically advanced and highly adaptable new theatre that would retain the friendly, demotic accessibility of the old building, project the organisation’s values of cultural inclusion, community engagement and local creativity, and encapsulate the collective identity of the people of Liverpool. The new building occupies the same sensitive, historic city centre site in Hope Street, immediately adjacent to Liverpool’s Catholic cathedral and surrounded by 18th and 19th century listed buildings, so a balance of sensitivity and announcement in the external public realm was a significant design criterion. Another central aspect of the brief was to design an urban public building with exceptional energy efficiency both in construction and in use. The building makes use of the complex and constrained site geometry by arranging the public spaces around a series of half levels, establishing a continuous winding promenade from street to auditorium. Foyers and catering spaces are arranged on three levels including a new Bistro, culminating in a long piano nobile foyer overlooking the street. The auditorium is an adaptable thrust stage space of 400 seats, constructed from the reclaimed bricks of Hope Hall and manifesting itself as the internal walls of the foyers. The building incorporates numerous creative workspaces, with a rehearsal room, workshops, a sound studio, a Writers’ Room overlooking the foyer, and EV1 - a special studio dedicated to the Young Everyman Playhouse education and community groups. A diverse disability group has monitored the design from the outset.
The Marshall Family Performing Arts Center / Weiss/Manfredi ext description provided by the architects. The Marshall Family Performing Arts Center is the focus of the performing arts at the Greenhill School. The design establishes a dialogue between building and campus: the building’s configuration creates a sequence of spaces that shape an outdoor courtyard and frame views out to the existing campus. The courtyard is animated by a double-height lobby. Designed to be an ascending gallery of collaborative spaces, the lobby connects all the performance venues and creates a destination for informal performances and spontaneous interactions. The dramatic profile of the building emerges from the topography of the site and continuously ascends to reach the fly tower for the theater. The exterior brick collaborates chromatically with the materials of the campus. Illuminated soffits and overhangs provide shade and support outdoor teaching. Together these elements shape and give measure to the Performing Arts Center’s commitment to advance teaching, performance, and production across the boundaries of individual performing arts disciplines.
New Library & Performing Arts Center / KAAN Architecten The design of KAAN’s functional addition starts with the building’s load-bearing shell – thick walls that allow for large open spaces on the interior and complement the Pupillenschool’s historic brick facade. Small group spaces and private reading rooms cluster around the central atrium, which houses bookshelves and spacious reading areas. The building takes direction from recent trends in library design, serving as an open and accessible place for people to work in its primary function, while also being a home for books. The addition’s relationship to the old school was inspired by the irregular street grid of the historic center of Aalst. At certain points in the downtown, streets converge erratically, creating small public squares that hold street cafés and meeting places. Likewise, the library intersects with the existing building to create two small plazas, one serving as the entrance area for the complex and the other as a terrace housing a reading café. On the other side of the building, the Academy for Performing Arts will contain classrooms and a theater for music, dance, drama and singing. The building will be balanced between areas of movement and noise, and silence and reflection, which KAAN believes will create a greater sense of community to the complex.
