• Use the form of the viaduct, but extrude the negative space. • The building reflects its own history by the build up and layering of the different posters and banners. • The metal gate to the site will have a continuation of the ‘advertising layering’ theme and will make people stop and l k
• The structure could also be used to gain extra revenue by selling space on the side of the structure to small businesses.
• Simple wooden posts • Clad in chipboard • Layers of posters and advertising vinyl • Existing brick foundation can be used as the main support strip

The design Concept came from looking at the arches on the viaduct. We halved the Arch to create a curved building.
During the day the large open room can be used for many different community functions as the residents of Holbeck require it. Access to the building is from the alleyway between the old Chapel Studios and its garage. This uninviting entrance will be clad in plywood to link the whole design as one.
Technology
Reclaimed railway sleepers can be used for the foundations. Scaffolding boards are then placed on top as the floor. A wooden frame structure is then placed on this to create the walls. This is then clad all in plywood. The cavity is filled with recycled clothes for insulation. The interior is clad in plywood too. Reclaimed slate is used for the roof. Big heavy doors are attached that can be opened. (they are also filled with recycling.

The concept for the design is to re-use existing materials from the site. Using the tri-vision panels to create the façade for the building. This will: • Considerably reduce cost. • Create an adjustable, changeable façade. • Potentially create revenue that would fund the build. •Improve the appearance of the whole site.

Feedback on all entries: Harvinder Mudhar and Zoltan Deak Good presentation. Containers liked by the judges but there is only room for one container solution on the shortlist. Vertical element works well. Rachael Branton and Claire Burrell Interesting idea to use pallets. However you did not show a plan in context . The final image suggests a beautiful glowing building and construction sequence is good. Sam Gilding and Andy Bates The idea of using flyers was liked. The barrel vault is interesting and bold but you did not show the image in the contextual relationship with the viaduct. Drawings should match across all the sheets. Felix Hatton, Ron Graham, Yue Zheng, Jamie Ho, Adeline Zeter, Chris Pickup, India Solanki, and Nick Wright The structure is very interesting but it is not yet a site-specific building relating to activity. The client requires a more bespoke building; however we recognize that this idea may have other applications. Jack Wakelin and Lee Wade We support the idea of using something unusual as shopping trolleys but you need to illustrate this in your presentation. The final image needs to be lighter. Todd Harrison Good effort for a group of one. We liked the IKEA diagrams but the system is too complicated to solve this small problem and reflected a solution to mass production rather than low cost contextual response. William Board and Lauren Connolly Material choice is very good and the building can be simply constructed. The curve on plan should be a curve in section. Final image needs to be light to see what the building looks like. Matt Baker, Jack Davey, Alex Passey This is a strong idea but there are concerns about viability of the mechanisms. The straw bale construction was well received. It is a good design and good parti. Matt Grindley and Sam Hayes The black rubber was liked and it was wondered if unusual materials could be used on the inside as well. The building works very well but the panel was not convinced by the shape of the windows. Besnik Abdiu, Valbona Canolli and Korab Bergolli An interesting and bold idea to re-provide more of the accommodation is let down by the graphical presentation.
Judges Report: All four judges were impressed by the range of project and the engagement of entrants. The winning scheme was chosen because of the coherent and comprehensive response to the client’s brief. The drawings of the interior suggest a memorable interior of unusual and contextual delight. Of the seven shortlisted schemes there are only two partis; rectangular building with a wrap around the existing buildings and a container project. The client has decided to invite all students who are interested to help develop a project of a rectangular building with a wrap around the existing buildings based on the best ideas of the shortlisted projects.. A basic planning application is to be made in April. This will be drawn up by Bauman Lyons Architects with Leeds Met students doing the visualisation. We need to decide on the wrap. The end game is that Leeds Met help with some construction drawings and hopefully the construction. We also will have a role in fundraising.
