sneinton market

The home of 29 local companies where artisans share conceptually

their passion, and physically the space in between the avenues.

2

As you move through the avenues, all of your senses are stimulated, and form a complete

phenomenological experience.

3

volume and s p a c e

The space surrounding the avenues is as

important

as the space in the buildings themselves.

4

- The size of the building in respect with the courtyard`s, has a ratio of 1:4.16, meaning that the courtyard is 4.16 times larger.

- Events + Activities require some of the courtyard`s space.

- The Existing building: Extension ratio can therefore be up to 1:2.5.

g+ eex i sot i nm e t r y g proportions

COMPLEMENTARY

Based on the existing colour of the old facade, the complementary is used to clad the rest of the existing structure.

The complementary brings in its two triadic colours.

TRIADIC

re-imagining the b i c y c l e

By - observing - analysing - synthesising the geometry of 6 bikes, a sketch becomes the basis of the main design idea for the physical perimeter of the extension

10

- WiT is seeking for a flexible and dynamic space that satisfies both private and social needs - The design accommodates a series of rotating walls that can be arranged differently throughout the day - The spaces are designed to be experienced as a transition from a, to b and to c that form the commmunal, semiprivate and private spaces respectively

Visual 1 - Fundraising events + Communal space - at night (refer to the diagrams, p.11)

- Feminine classical architectural characteristics are used to translate feminism into architecture in a way that captures light so that artificial lighting can be used to a minimun throughout the day

- Extending upwards suggests the

coexistence of both masculine and feminine presences and their equality in the Sneinton market
