TYLDESLEY

The factory system and textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution triggered population growth and urbanisation, and by the early 20th century it was said that the mill town was "eminently characteristic of an industrial district whose natural features have been almost entirely swept away to give place to factories, iron foundries, and collieries".

Explosion Analysis

The main road Elliott Street is accross the high street of Tyldesley where is the main commercial area for retailing. There is not so much green space on the street, lacking green plant.The green parks takes 10 mins to walk. The small hurch on the center of the street is reconstructed to a kidgarden becaues most residents go to Parish Church of St. George.Most adult enducation centers limite the number of visiters during Covid-19. The duration of a day is 10 hours in the summer and 6 hours in the winter, there is less people on the street in the winter.

Education&Employment

The proportion of low-level and no-level residents is relatively large, which has led to the fact that in terms of employment, although the proportion of people employed is high, people's income is quite unfair. For the low-skilled and low-income people, what they urgently need is professional training and better job opportunities. Looking for their demands can also strengthen their connections with the community and the high street.

Ethnic care

In the ethnic composition, white British people have an absolute advantage, which makes people of other races become minorities. Situatedness in feminism vision, we hope to enable ethnic minorities to integrate into the community and have a sense of belonging to the city.

Similarly, in religious beliefs, most residents believe in Christianity, and it is interesting that 18.2% of the residents are nonbelievers. This shows part of the change in Tyldesley, and what we want to do is to strengthen the relationship between residents and the city through the high street.

Gender care

In Tyldesley, the male to female ratio is about 1:1, but women are at a disadvantage in terms of work and income. Under the same working conditions, their income is lower than that of men. It is an opportunity for women to have a better job.

Care for olds and kids

The proportions of the elderly and children are close. These two special groups. The elderly usually have some savings and free time, they need special care physically and psychologically, they need some energetic things to bring them vitality. Kids are full of vitality, but they need correct guidance during their grow up. It seems that elder and kids form a special circular pattern, where needs and output complement each other.

Sellers & Customers

It is natural to focus on the connection between sellers and their customers. It’s also another identity of the residents, rather than the role they play in family and society. We would like transform the role of people we want to strengthen the link with cty, which can brings more job opportunities.

The end of Site3

The dance club

The site has divded into three pieces, and we choose site3. Several listed buildings exists on the whole site: Saint George's Church, which built in 1825; The Bank, built in 1900s; Top Chapel, which built in 1789. And other heritages like the library and the foundation. One of the heritage we should protect in site3 is the building of dance club. High street generation is not a single work, it need interdisciplinary collaboration. Despite working in site3, we still want to combine other works from other site and thinking holistically.

Top Chapel year: built in 1789s level:Grade II

Saint George’s Church year: built in 1825s level:Grade II

It is slightly change compared with Tyldesley like half a century before and now though the photos. It is quite strange with the era of quick development and shows slightly out of place. However, the heritage in Tyldesley saved well, and it has a greatdevelopment potential of culture.

From the context of historical development, we extracted a series of historical elements as part of the design elements, aiming to stimulate the residents' sense of urban identity and familiarity, and strengthen the cultural connection between ` residents and the high street.

Historical Analysis

Tyldesley has a very long history, and his city memory is deeply influenced by its history. By analyzing the emergence and extinction of local buildings with different functions, we found that it was deeply affected by the first and second industrial revolutions, and this influence has continued to this day.

I am old now, I wish there is more places for me to rest on the street when I am shopping and I can chat with my friends.

Stay Point Leisure Place

When people encounter with each other on the street, they need a place to sit and chat with friends on street furnitures.

More leisure infrasturctures are needed for socialization. It should be a flexible space to get residents involved in.

Economic Activities

Becaues of Covid-19, many shops closed. More activities such as music festivals and handcrafts workshop can use the empty shops to promote the economy

FUNCTION

I want more activities on the street to have fun or earn some money.

There is no where for me to play with my friends. It is really boring!

Part Iii Proposal

Site A is an open space, the buildings here are totally new. The general function of Site A is the open market and temporary stage. Based on a basic unit, made series of change and stack to have a flexible, abundant space. Due to the height differences, they are also the viewing platform of the temporary stage.

Another building near the residential space is the bounded volume to strengthen the space sense and the transitional area between residential space (i.e. private space) and public space.

SITE A- SOUTH STREET ELEVATION

In Site A, aimed at providing more outdoor social spaces, to close the connection between residential space and the high street, improve the relationship between different groups in the community as well. The temporary stage is not only the stage individually to show people’s characteristics, but also a neat screen for others far away from the site. Residents can perceive the activities on the stage from a distance, and then be attracted after that.

The function could be roughly divided to open market, viewing platform and transform the area. Due to the flexible structure, we can have flexible adjustment between different functional areas. The open market is the noisiest area, the viewing platform can be a bit quieter, and the transition space is the quietest as the interim part. The site has two main entrance, one is on Elliott Street, another facing the residential area, branch streamlines are flexible, and have many choices to arrive at one place. A special room is set aside in the transition building, aimed at providing a space to women, especially mom and others’ need to deal with their own issues. Changeable installation is set on the open ground, which aimed at kids and teens, sometimes their games are also interesting program in elders’ view.

Another issue is light and ventilation, as a flexible open building, prefer using natural light rather than artificial lighting. Tyldesley’s daytime is quite long in summer and short in winter, based on the flexible frame, most of the roof and wall panels can be easily replaced. Percentage of transparent material can be reduced in summer to prevent sun exposure and overheating, enhance ventilation. On the contrary, add transparent materials and reduce open parts to keep warm. There is a wide range of choice for transparent materials, not limited to glass, such as polycarbonate.
