in the second architectural design unit, we were required to design a building to host a new branch of a local school. the core idea of the concept is the arrangement of all different areas of the school around a courtyard, which connects the whole building visually and physically. the transition spaces are also understood as an extension of the classroom, referenced on the work of richard neutra. this premise is developed in the kindergarten area on the ground floor, along a large corridor with reentrances that connect it with the courtyard. the courtyard, finally, acts as a living organism in the centre of the school.

our design proposal to this social housing project aimed to stablish multiple dialogues among the new buildings, their surroundings and the whole community. this principle, combined with the need for public spaces in the area, guided us to propose an occupation towards a gradient of scales: neighbourhood quarter - site - building - apartment. in other words, it would be an open quarter, with different degrees of public and private. therefore, the occupation is mixed. in some areas of the site, the building acts as a limit to the quarter. the north of the site, which has a strong connection with the urban fabric, receives a public square with a playground and commercial spots. the south and east sides are more permeable to the surroundings, and blocks are oriented to stimulate residents and neighbours to move around and to meet.

this project consisted on a intervention in a narrow gap between two railway bridges at the regent’s canal. the small enclosure possibilited to experience the most of the sensations provided by this fragile space: the filtering of light in a constantly shades space, the echo of the passage of trains and the laughter of children, the unprotection from rain. also, it was an space to watch and listen to a musician who usually plays in the area. during the final phase of the project, each member of the team worked separately developing the project according to individual premises. at that point, the proposal also became a possibility to go up: to experience the sensation of being between the trains, to see the bridges and the water from above. the enclosure would become a landmark to that point of the regent’s canal, and also an escape from the quick movement along the towpath.

it is the tune of the crowd what makes a festival magical. being part of an organism with a unique power. A group of people that makes the difference because each of them is engaged with the same goal. That is what sustainability is about. the project aims to translate this power into usable energy that is produced by the crowd and to the crowd. this competition challenged us to creating not only a place for people to meet, but a meeting point of all the energy spread around the Ă˜yafestivalen. the meeting point is connected to modules of a magnetic induction floor that are spread around the festival, to capture the energy of people. this energy is stored and further used to support different activities, like projections, wireless connection, phone charging and lighting.

the process of walking by the regent’s canal around the surroundings of central saint martins directed our interest to the interaction among layers of materials and how they transform endogenously [from bottom-top] and exogenously [from upside-down]. that inspired us to study interactions in the layers of our body, directing our research to experimenting with rigid structures and tensile skins.

this regeneration of the fish and coal building aims to break the masonry barriers between central saint martins students and local people. it considers the potentiality of sharing pieces of art and design from early phases of production, the social function of the university and the power of receiving continuous and diverse inputs. it is endogenous as it unfolds the production of art that happens inside the building, distributing it along a lightweight route that connects the towpath by the regent’s canal to the granary square. this route culminates on a spiral ramp, the occupies the centre of the building, dissolving and mixing the boundaries between public and private. covered by fabric on the inside, the spiral ramp is converted on a white canvas, that works as a production and exhibition space at the same time. from the outside, the fabric, tensioned by the ramp, expands the activities out of the brick walls.

the whole building acts as a pop-up structure, either in its use or in its shape. the activities are distributed according to the blocks. it is, then, home for various starting activities: pop-up restaurantes, fablab, open working and exhibition spaces and skillsharing rooms.
