CURRENT VENUE

INTENTION

The brand has now grown to include four different gins stocked in stores nationwide - including a 4.5 litre Jeroboam. “The arches under Manchester Central will be the perfect mix of the old industrial heritage of Manchester with a contemporary look synonymous with our brand.” Seb Heeley, co-founder of Manchester Gin

SIGNATURE

Manchester Gin was founded in 2013 by couple Jennie Wiggins and Seb Heeley from humble beginnings in their dining room, where their original still was just 60 litres. Since then they have gone on to become the most awarded gin of 2018.

Manchester Gin hope to upgrade to a 1,000-litre still. Meanwhile, To further immerse customers in the Manchester Gin experience, Manchester Gin will strive to maintain their handcrafted approach. Manchester Gin are rapidly scaling up the business, as they launch new flavours (including a pink gin and a ‘Wild Spirit’ herbal gin)

Characteristic Vaults: Vault openings approximately 3700mm between brick walls: gives strong characteristics, requires careful considers. 3. Existing facade, poor quality and aesthetics. Later added brickwork, could be torn down. 4. The following 4 faĂ§ades is not part of the site, and will remain its original use, which might require continuity in the interface. 5.

Damaged by fixings. Car park behind. 7. Internal Brick wall: Internal brickwork divides the spaces which creates a sense of order by itself combining with the vaults and arches. However this as well might create limitations by breaking the down the continuity of the space. Brickwork also have drainage embedded, suffering from leakage and water penetration. 8. Differentiated ground floor level: Drainage running opposite direction to ground level Facade. 9. Canal going through car park beside site, provides opportunities on transport.

2.02 REUSE STRATEGIES ELBPHILHARMONIE The reuse project of Elbphiharmonie proposed to keep the historical facade and enhanced it with the new structure. This is followed by an additional structure with significant geometry. The old and the new are completely integrated by merging its structure, as well as in enhancing its sense of symmetry, balance and order.

B.A

Adopting from Elbphiharmonie, the proposed design aims to enhance the existing by its existing order and symmetry. Further, the project intend to expose this order to the public by an addition strategy to the original architecture. Different from Elbphi, the parti of this project reverts the structure and extends to the other direction, rather than adding to the skyline.

According to the soil condition, simple slope excavation is selected. Infill will be added back after excavation for levelled floor height.

WATER PROTECTION: Main risks are associated with overland flow from compacted or poached fields. Organic slurry, dirty water, fertiliser, pathogens and fine sediment can all move in suspension or solution with overland flow or drain water

Historical spandrell wall suffers from water damage. Bond type: English bond.

Current drainage from the initial railway is largely damaged and leaks which damages the historical brickwork.

Current fixings are drilled into the bricks, which causes irreversible damage to the bricks.

The 1550 historical brick wall is built up with two layers of English bond brick wall and 1120mm of infill, joint to the foundation by cement. Infill condition unknown.

5.03 HERITAGE STRATEGIES DISASSEMBLING AND REPAIRING The proposed alterations have been developed to respect the existing building fabric and generally will have a neutral effect or in fact enhance the building.

1. DISASSEMBLAGE OF EXISTING FABRIC FOR EXCAVATION: According to the need of excavation, the existing fabric will be clearly recorded, labelled, and disassembled brick by brick, preparing for excavation. Compared the traditional top-down construction method of propping the existing structure on the excavation site, this decreases the chance of damaging historical bricks, as well provides an opportunity to renew the foundation.

Figure 4 : Shambles Square

Precedent: Shambles Square. The 16th century Old Wellington and the 18th century Sinclair’s Oyster Bar are both grade II listed historic buildings. In order to develop the pedestrian square, the two buildings were ‘dismantle the buildings and reassemble them true to the original, 300m north of their existing location’1. The building elements were labelled, recorded, measured, and photographed including timber frame and roof construction. Totalling more than 10,000 items were reconstructed piece by piece accurately in their new location. Including uneven floors and gaps between oak beams.

Figure 5: Labelling building elements

2. FOUNDATION: Remove the existing foundation and replace it with stronger and long lasting foundation, which extends the building’s lifetime. 3. DRAINAGE: Remove and replace current leaking drainage pipes, and add water proofing membrane within the infill and insulation above the arches to prevent water ingress and condensation. 4. BRICKS: Remove fixings on bricks and use the undamaged side of the brick as face. New mortar in reassembly will add strength to the structure and ensure a cleaner finish. The assembly and joint methods of bricks will respect the historic order. 5. SERVICE INSTALLATION: Service will either be fixed on the new structure or bolted through the mortar joints. The historical elements should not be further damaged. 6. APPEARANCE: The new building structure should enhance and suit the language of existing characters.

OVERALL - the impact of the alterations to the listed building and its setting is minimal and seek to improve the setting where feasible. The works are essential in nature to supplement the broader masterplan already granted and would not only make the building fit for its new purpose but also to help preserve and restore the building as a historical asset holistically.

5.05 MATERIALITY EXISTING

The existing structure comprises a rather simple but continuous materiality of dark bricks and stone. The appearance is fairly continuous but rainwater has caused irreversible damage to the bricks, which in another hand adds to the texture of time.

PROPOSED

The proposed design aims to enrich the materiality with modern construction materials including concrete, glass, and cast iron; while preserving the continuity in the faĂ§adeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appearance, and revealing and exaggerating the historical geometry to the public.

7.00 METHODOLOGY

7.01 FIELDS THEORY STAN ALLEN

According to Stan Allen, the urban environment exists in field, from one towards many, accelerating, merging, fragmenting and formed by forces. The system of geometry in an established field exists in a way in which non of the parts could be added nor taken away. The fragmented parts forms a system in which they are connected and establish relationships between each other. Applied to architecture, this is expressed by geometry and pattern. (Allen, 1985)

YOKOHAMA TERMINAL

Yokohama Terminal applied the field of the surrounding environment as a mathematical basis for Its massing generation, resulting in the geometry responding to the surrounding environment, creating and enhancing order.

GRASSHOPPER FIELDS This project initially invested on fields as a methodology and generative strategy of its possible interior space layout and circulation. However, we decided to respect the building in a more literal and dramatical manner because of the significant importance of the historical structure, through which people could understand the story behind Manchesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old industry more easily.

CONCLUSION

The project responds to the demand of the client from Manchester Gin experiencing an expansion in production as well as distribution. In a broader context, the site illustrated its importance both geographically and historically. Throughout history, the location of the site acted as a fairly important node where railways and roads meet; as well as witnessing the evolution of urban links. The surrounding area has been activated by industry as well as dying with the fall of Manchester’s industry. This project does not try to bring the site or its surrounding to life by modern commerce nor blend the building to the modern environment by applying harsh modern elements, but lighten the area up in its old industrial way, by celebrating the industrial elements of architecture. Historically, the proposal respects the original building, its materiality, texture, order, history as well as usage. Just as we mentioned in our narrative, this project is “A challenge to the industrial setting of centuries-past to be something experienceable and experiential to the public...”. In other words, we aim to set this architecture as a display of the industrial settings and the industrial process to the public, and create strong visions and experiences of industry for people in the space. Strategies both meet the satisfaction of enhancing the existing order and as well as meeting the ambition of the client of expansion and developing their product as a symbol of Manchester’s industry culture. The project imagines a modern gin industry, on par with the scale of the original use of the building. With this concept in mind we were led to expand and exaggerate the industrial forms to fulfil the spatial requirement of a flourishing contemporary industry. The difference between the old industrial nature of the building and that proposed is the publicity aspect: the factory is also a gallery and exhibition of the process and production, but also serves to inform visitors of the nature of the building as never seen by the public before. Construction was the greatest challenge on this project due to the scale of excavation around a listed building. These problems were leveraged through consultation with engineers and heritage experts, and under the agreement of heritage departments, the proposal aims to do no damage to and in fact enhance the existing fabric of the building while extending it’s life time.

REFLECTION

In this project we successfully responded to the identified problems, proposed reuse strategies and met the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirements. Because of the particularity of the site as a Grade II* listed building, the design proposal sought to consider the treatment and lifetime of the existing structure. Responding to the current language; materials and geometry has been one of the priorities that we considered and influenced our design to a large degree. We have also proposed feasibility of the construction because of the particularity of the proposed massing. Our group work as an office was highly successful and all members of the team brought different strengths. In terms of modelling, we established a successful workflow between Rhino and Revit, as well as grasshopper, which added to more iterations of variation in possibilities of form. Massing and diagramming of other case studies have provided us with various reuse strategies. The field exploration has as well provided us with more variation opportunities and respecting the historical building in its sense of fields. However, we decided to respect the building in a more literal manner because of the significance of the historical structure, through which people could understand and access the story behind Manchesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old industry, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first steps in a brand new one.
