THE CARTER GALLERY

THE WIENER LIBRARY

AND THE SSoA FEMINIST LIBRARY, SHEFFIELD, UK

For this project, I collect my ideas for a gallery and library displaying feminist works. The project includes two spaces, separate but coherent with one another. The first is The Carter Gallery and the second is The Sheffield School of Architecture Feminist Library.

Collages showing initial programme ideas

Using the initial method of collage, I begin to construct a programme. This eventually translates to a fully fledged design, as shown in my plans.

Geographical Context And Existing Buildings

I collect my ideas for a feminist space designing a hempcrete structure that sits on site unapologetically, resting on a bed of reclaimed stones. I conduct an in-depth site and geological study. I take the city of Sheffield and identify the local material. More specifically, I take the disused industrial building ‘Pina’ and attempt to retrofit to fulfil my programme. I use the stones from the nearby disued coal drops as a cladding feature.
