Trinity Buoy Wharf- Public Space Design Vlada Turcan

Brief Trinity Buoy Wharf was a desolate location until 1998, when it was transformed into a hub for the creative industries. It has progressively become an untidy mix of old buildings and temporary structures over time. The Trinity Buoy Wharf Company wants to redevelop the site with a larger, more permanent Café, Public Outside- Garden/s Relax & Social Space/s appropriate for summer weddings & corporate gatherings, and a Pavilion to serve as a focal point.

It is now a place with creative industries studios, workspace for people who work to provide transportation on the river, classrooms for education, and indoor and outdoor spaces for arts events and a variety of activities ranging from conferences to product launches.

History

• The Corporation of Trinity House began as a voluntary association of shipmen and mariners in 1514, when Henry VIII granted it a charter as "The Guild or Fraternity of the most glorious and undivided Trinity of St Clement." In 1573, it was granted its coat of arms, as well as the authority to erect and maintain beacons, marks, and signs of the sea "for the better navigation of the coasts of England." Since then, it has been the wellknown company in charge of buoys, lighthouses, and lightships, as well as pioneering the techniques involved. Many new buildings were built during the Victorian era, and many of them still stand today, including the Electrician's Building, which was built in 1836. It was originally designed for oil storage by Trinity House's then-Chief Engineer, James Walker. In 1852, he rebuilt the rest of the river wall, and in 1854, he built the first of two lighthouses here. After his death in 1862, he was succeeded by James Douglass, who designed the lighthouse that still stands as London's only remaining lighthouse today.

The LOOP LOOP posits that repetition is never equal, that the same round will never be the same, by combining a concrete circle bench with an organic texture. New textures are generated when each circle closes, each with its unique personality. The meeting in the garden allows for discourse, democratizes the subjects, and allows anybody who passes by to participate.

Kic park Kik Park is a remnant urban area that Francesco Gatti is surprised to see has escaped development and is located at the entrance to the Kic Village, which was built in recent years for students at the nearby Fudan and Tongji universities.

I like how the trees separate this public space, and I'd like to use the same technique to make the people who are there feel safe in their own space. The trees assist in simply focusing on this area.

V-Plaza urban development Kaunas / Lithuania / 2020 The German architecture team has built a visionary plaza that celebrates modern mobility. Cyclists and scooters ride along organically curved levels, passing by tranquil oases, water features, cafes, and restaurants. The perfect venue for a young, dynamic society, this hybrid of skatepark, playground, and urbane living room has now opened.

The wood and intricately modelled elements of white moulded concrete, as well as the plants chosen for the green spaces, were inspired by the local flora.

The unique shapes and levels of this location inspired me. The colours that they used for the place really brighten the atmosphere, and I'm looking forward to incorporating the unique shapes and vibrant colours into my project because, in my opinion, Trinity buoy wharf is very dull and lacks colour, and because we don't get much sun in London, we have a depressing atmosphere, and we need a place to relax and brighten our mood.

PLANING THE LAYOUT 1.

This is my first layout, and I attempted to merge the organic shapes from the V-PLAZA with the linear pattern from kic park. This is not a good layout idea because it appears too busy, and there are other things that need to be added to this space that do not fit.

The second design I think it's a good idea because the layout is balanced and it will work with the surrounding buildings, which are very squared and need a bit of organic shapes to balance them out. I also have room in this layout for a pavilion and a café, as well as places where artists can stay and work alone in peace.

I was inspired by the curved line in my moodboard, so I used a portion of the design for the layout and attempted to create a small model of the site to show how I envision my café.
