Site B is an existing building, its business doesn’t work currently, and can be drastically remodelled. Different from Site A, Site B is an entirely indoor space. I used the arch to improve the narrow pavement and make transition space between the high street and interior space. The function of Site B can be summarized as a commercial art exhibition, café, and semi-private workshop. In addition to providing citizens social spaces, Site B also aimed at providing space and atmosphere for learning skills.

Transparent for sight sorted out existing windows in the exterior façade design, use different materials to separate inside and outside, and maintained visibility. Lighting and other decorations are placed on the top of the arcade to make the high street attractive even in winter, which has short daytime. Moreover, the railroad tracks and coal trolley in the decoration come from the research of Tyldesley's city memory during the Industrial Revolution.

The ground floor is mainly used to display and sell handicrafts and souvenirs to attract users, allowing them to participate in some DIY activities, which might relate to city memory, past and contemporary. Such as cotton millsrelated handicraft products, and puzzles, etc.

SITE BROOF PLAN 1:200

Roof glazing combined with façade windows allows we can use natural light as long as possible, which will also bring different shadow experiences in different weather. Repeating the arch and the same bricks as the residential area also improves the internal connection between Site A and B.

I continuously produced screens and stages in the design concept, to make people show themselves and make the margin close to the community. In modern society, we can always be the majority, but it may always have time to be the minority. The way to integrate the community maybe is to find things in common.

The regeneration of the high street is not aimed at one point, but more like a linear route. In this design, I selected two plots with more potential in site 3 for design, which is aimed at enhancing the sense of linear route.

The exterior wall use the CLT structure with recycled bricks. Based on the understanding and research of local architecture material, the attempt has brought interesting effects.

CLT ( Cross-Laminated Timber ) is an engineered timber product with good structural properties and low environmental impact (where sustainably sourced timber is used). It can provide dry, fast onsite construction, with good potential for airtightness and a robust wall and floor structure suitable for most finishes internally and externally. It requires only limited new site skills, and its low weight means that a high degree of offsite manufacture is possible. Access permitting, relatively large premanufactured panels can be transported to site for fast, factory-quality construction. Currently, CLT is manufactured abroad with an established supply into the UK market, although this brings higher environmental impact from typicall increased transportation distances and some cost uncertainty with varying foreign exchange rates.

I try to use CLT structure combined with recycled bricks near the site, wich shows ineretsting effect.

Material Research

As for the roof glazing and interior light issues, I use a flexible structure. Daytime is quite long in summer, the roof material can be replaced by other transparent materials. One of the materials can be polycarbonate, which is much lighter than glass, also quite durable. And panels can be replaced in winter, as the daytime is shorter. It can be replaced by thick materials to keep indoors' temperature.
