SECTION DEMONSTRATING THE PRODUCTION LINE ELIJAH PISANIO’SULLIVAN Stage 3

INTRA GLASSHOUSE is a mixed use project. The primary uses contain an aquaponics farm, urban cultivation spaces, a kitchen and training facilities for these. There are also issues with unemployment, isolation, mental health problems, low education levels and addiction. These are often intertwined. Locals also live alongside ex-servicemen who also struggle with these issues, many of which on average go into skills based, dextrous labour. However it is noted they look after sun pier by keeping it clean. It is also apparent there is diverse entrepreneurial and creative local culture. The vision is to create spaces to provide for local people, to be self producing and provide healthy, accessible food to a community deprived of such. As well as interior and exterior spaces for a food market; coinciding with the trinket market at Sun Pier House Community Centre.

Evergreen

Evergreen embodies a community-centric approach, positioning itself as a testament to collective growth and development. The cultivation and nurturing of a sustainable and inclusive environment lie at the core of Evergreen’s ethos. Through its modular structure, the building facilitates the maturation and advancement of sustainable practices, fostering a thriving and expanding community that flourishes in harmony with its surroundings. The integration of community participation and engagement in the construction process contributes to a sense of shared ownership, pride, and collective achievement. In this unharmonius monotonus urban context, Evergreen represents a paradigm of sustainable development and community-driven progress.

Chatham School of Fashion scholten.hannah@gmail. com

My proposal will counteract the closure of UCA Rochester. MidKent College has proposed to take on a large number of the courses UCA offers (mainly fashion related). However, there is limited capacity to relocate students to their campus 3 miles away; therefore, a new school is required. The B&M site, which has been declared a site of interest in the revival of the Chatham Intra area, offers a new home for the school. The impact of the closure will be reduced with the new school 0.5 miles away, the site’s history with the arts and the pier increases its attractiveness.

Chatham School of Fashion will focus on educating students on the importance of reducing fashion-related waste and encourage sustainability. It will offer workshops, gallery space, a cafe, and other related spaces including a runway in the landscape and a textiles donation point.

Proposal for a communityled culinary school that aims to re-skill veterans living in the area and people recovering from substance use disorder. The design highlights the “alley-to-river” typology of Chatham Intra and reconnects the city to its river. Parts of the protruding land is chipped away and reused to create small jetties that allow people to walk closer to the river.

A total of four buildings is introduced, each serving its respective purpose, including an oyster farm-to-table restaurant on a newly created pier. The existing building on site is readapted to become a market building fitted with a basement storage. A three-storey building houses most of the classsroom facilities as well as a community garden at the rooftop. The central kitchen building is designed to be disassembled in the future.

The Intra Film Hub is a multi-functional building consisting of a film school, film studio and cinema. This project targets NEET students (Not in Education, Employment or Training) by introducing a vocational course to get them qualifications. It also services the community via the cinema and its cafe.

The scheme involves an existing building with the aim of preserving what was already there, while giving it a new identity. To do this a new timber facade was designed to wrap around the building, providing a semi-sheltered space for the roof terrace.

ARGASH THASAN Stage 3

I have designed a youth center based in Chatham for the sole purpose of revitalising a safe, informal and supervised environment for young people. It aims to provide the youth with a building packed with activities which they can truly relate to, helping to nurture and bring out hidden talents. Activities consist of both physical and educational. A quick rundown includes rock climbing courses, affordable tuitions, cycle & boat crafting workshop, skateboarding and many more. You also get a lovely view towards the river.

The materiality is Cross Laminated Walnut Timber to give the building a nice earthy tone. This is to differentiate the building from the surrounding historical buildings mostly consisting of plain bricks. This materiality choice will come across as more appealing to the youth due to its modernness.

argash.thasan2002@ gmail.com reActive aims to address the major societal challenges of physical and mental wellbeing in the Medway area of Kent, UK. With poor eating habits and a lack of physical exercise contributing to health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, and mental health also being affected by social and cultural norms, there is a clear need for innovative service provision to address these issues.

The development is a youth centre with wall climbing and skateboarding facilities as well as communal green areas and parkour elements.

KARIS WALKERSTUART Stage 3

The ‘Zenshida Project’ (the real project) has been specially designed to tackle the negative impact that Covid had on the social and economic status of society. The building will include various quality multiuse spaces that service a multitude of industries placed around a central community hall. It also includes a retail park sector that serves as a counterpart to the main building, providing spaces for small business to market their products, in refitted shipping containers to create unique, low cost, low risk ‘box shops’, all of which can be rented out or traded for time, to work in the maintenance department for the upkeep of the building.

The following images also include my Artefact submission of a completely edible model of The Notre Dame du Haut Ronchamp.

WOOLLARD Stage 3

Chatham Intra Music Hall

This project aims to use music to revitalise the sense of community, the economy and the cultural scene of Chatham Intra by providing a venue to facilitate musical education and performance, with the highest standards of acoustic design.

Within The Intra Concert Hall, an unadorned wall of the hall is clad with routed oak panels in a randomised curved pattern to reflect the sound back to the audience and musicians. On adjustable grids suspended on the ceiling, stage lighting and acoustic panels can be adjusted to suit different styles of music. Other supporting spaces featured in the scheme provide space for musical practice, audio recording and musical instrument repair. The façades that encircle the courtyard at the centre of the scheme are designed to redirect and amplify sound using curved concrete façades, creating a courtyard with optimal conditions for outdoor performance. Along with this, a restaurant at the front of the site aims to bring continuity to the Chatham Intra Highstreet street scape.

THE ISPC

Mental health is everywhere and in everyone. Good mental health allows people to manage stresses in life, productivity and social and emotional factorswhereas bad mental health can do the contrary and this cannot only be solved through the use of medical treatment.

The Intra Social Prescription Center is a project that seeks to provide activity services for individuals in Chatham who struggle with their mental health. Services such as fitness, art therapy, cooking therapy, gardening therapy as well as employability skills training, aim to improve and support these individuals to reap the benefits of their uses.

This non-clinical approach allows for a more inclusive and socially-impactful way of taking care of people’s mental health. It is an opportunity for people to interact and create a community of learning, teaching and healiing.
