Sitting area (proposal for New Charter Housing Group)

Making a 1:20 model in time for the design proposal with New Charter Housing Association tomorrow.

Sketching the perspectives of the sheltered areas of the structure where people can sit and store their bikes. The structure will be made out of timber planks and steel.

Making a 1:20 Sectional Model of the Pavilion.

Herb box; the community would be able to grow its own herbs; this is one aspect of embedding sustainability in the project.

Materiality; using different material in the proposal. Stone and timber

A semi-enclosed seating area; the idea is to make a fluid design,

proposal for children playing area; Secure by design

Sustainability; reusing materials on the site. The steel posts could be used in the proposal design.

Material on the site which could be used in the project. (reusing off-cut timber)

Site visit;different view of the site.

Site visit; a very long and narrow area (200m x 3m) to design a community space. The area is next to the rail track.

Session 3:
Group 2 presentation.
The purpose of this presentation was to get feedback in order to develop further their schemes and get ready for the meeting with the client. The client then will choose one scheme and the groups will be combined to work together for better output.

Session 3:
Group 1 presentation to coordinators.
Students were divided into groups to present their initial proposals. Students were given feedback on how to develop their initial proposals and designs for the meeting with the client.

30.04.14//First meeting with New Charter. :)

Upon visiting the site in Ashton Under Lyne, we had to create an intriguing structure that would be available for the public and nearby residents to use.

Session 2: Today we met with the students to discuss their initial design proposals after our meeting with the client and visit of our site.

Second meeting with the students to discuss initial ideas and proposals for the scheme. Group meetings into two different groups.

Initial sketch of proposal

Precedent study is Miilu by Sami Rintala.

This is my south elevation of the groups' proposed design which stretches over the landscape with plays areas, benches, bike storage and more.

We visited Aston Under Lyne where we had to design a sculpture as a group which will be built across the landscape of the proposed site.
