Masters Thesis

UNITE : A PLACE FOR ART This thesis project transforms Transport House (the former Belfast headquarters of the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers’ Union) and its adjacent sites into an artist ‘laboratory’, a place for new ideas and radical thinkers. A place where art is a social mechanism for the people rather than an elitist practice. This project sees the union building expropriated and re-imagined as a union of artists, reconnecting it to the city physically and programmatically. The building houses a series of art studios and research spaces, to learn about and engage in the creation of art. Artists here are supported to create work with greater societal ambition and to work with the community. A new purpose built Gallery next to Transport House will provide a series of Flexible exhibition spaces and a permanent collection of the best work created by the union of artists. The absence of program at street level creates two worlds: one below and the other above the ground. The building is separated by the space of the city flowing between. By giving the ground floor over to the

city the building integrates itself into the life of the city by aspiring to the condition of the street. The ambition is to achieve a sense of weight and mass detached from the ground in an apparent defiance of gravity. The raised volume resolves the narrowness of the site and lack of space whilst creating a covered plaza for testing ideas and bringing the gallery to the street and extending the street into the gallery. The buildings collection floats above the city as a series of rooms linked by the continuing street. The “underworlds” carved landscape provides an amphitheatre performance space and reconnects Custom House Square to the Cathedral Quarter through a subway under the Dunbar Link. A bookshop with reading rooms is buried below ground providing an anchor for the gallery floating above.

The building attempts to have a strong impact in the historic Cathedral quarter, characterised by heavy stone buildings. The building is clad in limestone augmenting the stone in its immediate vicinity and its volume appears as a single mass of stone shifted and carved at the edges and top to bring light in. The stone facade is cut and recessed with the feel of a constructivist composition, like an El Lissitzky “proun” pushing up against the street.

The project also aims to create spaces which have a resonating quality related to phenomena ingrained in the culture of the place. By employing two distinctly opposing feelings compression and decompression, space is appropriated to suit. In a compressed space architecture and people are experienced at close proximity. The decompressed spaces offer a needed breather and relate to the feeling of experiencing things as object and at an expanse.
