Tea house in the Public Bath

Cultural and Leisure Centre - Knot Centre - Nottingham Brief: The project involves the development of a civic architectural intervention in the city of Nottingham. This architectural inter vention should study and explore the design of a civic building not only as a symbol of government but also as a symbol of community.

Civic building should let citizens realise the importance of them with creating a public architecture of intimacy and bring people together to develop the bondings between each other. Knot takes the similar pronunciation of Notts and presents the meaning of the building tying and interweaving between citizens of Nottingham. The experiences apply on the relationship between them to the building itself and as well as other citizens.

Tea house in the Public bath - St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, Nottingham Brief: The project calls for the insertion of a public bath into a discussed Grade II listed church building in the Lace Market area of Nottingham. Different programme in the function is allowed.

Tea House plays an important role in social activities from the past til now. Similarly to a public bath, people would gather and be relax in tea house to achieve mental and physical relaxation. According to the long history of tea house in Asia, especially in China and Japan, many Asian architecture elements are applied in this project to bring the calmness and humbleness which could take the users to a more enjoyable stage and show the interesting in a Gothic church.

Inspirational images

The idea of putting a tea house in a public bath is from Asian culture as this is the one of the traditions. The recognisable furniture, doors, fabrics and materials from Japanese and Chinese cultures are the inspirations of the features in this project.

Concept sketches and visualisations Features were put into the photos of existing building to develop my idea.
