Master of Architecture / BA(Hons) Architecture Liverpool School of Art and Design

About Me I’m a 24 year old Architecture student, currently completing my Masters Degree at Liverpool John Moores University.

I am a keen hands-on worker, spending a large chunk of my spare time working two jobs; one as a labouring technician within the theatre industry, and the other as a labourer on building sites.

I’m a relatively well travelled individual and enjoy immersing myself within different settings.

A key passion of mine is the contrasting styles of old and new Architecture when combined in to one project. The ‘Wirral Waters’ project is something I’m hopeful to be a part of due to it’s scale and locality to me.

Initial Scheme The proposed urban scheme is a response to the dogmatic visual stimuli of western culture. The urban scheme proposes to reinvigorate The Barras, trans-forming it into a destination that counteracts the mainstream monopolising retail stores, encouraging creatives (both people and organisations) to culti-vate an arts and crafts culture which is currently fading. The scheme will facil-itate all the senses without discrimination creating an immersive experience.

Western culture has evolved to facilitate the eye as the dominant sense. Contemporary media affirms this, as the world is torn into a suc-cession of snapshot pictures, diminishing the consumer to purely a spectator role, without a sense of spatial locale in what is being per-ceived. The hegemonic eye pursues supremacy over all spheres of cultural production, and it seems to dilute our capacity for compassion, empathy and participation within society and the world. The role of architecture is not to devolve personal experience to the role of a spec-tator, rather create a spatial environment where all senses are stimulated, and the individual is immersed and becomes part of the whole.

Masterplan Typologies

The two axonometric street views below show different aspects of design within the masterplan. The left image illustrates a high density of buildings with large scales. The widening of the main street makes it clear that there is a directional axis of travel preferred through the space. In contrast to this is the image on the right which indicates a space of transition to the South of the main courtyard spaces. This area was designed to entice people on the street to meander through the courtyards and into the main high street. The permeable walling and interesting levels of physical social interaction allows for an intriguing design.

The two axonometric programmes show the multiplicity of business typologies within the defined courtyards. The larger diagram to the right shows how functions have been arranged into clusters, keeping a sense of continuity with-in the urban fabric. The areas highlighted in white show conceptual spaces of transition between buildings.

Day/Night Comparison Section

Running North West to South East across our site, this section portrays the night life scene in conjunc-tion with daytime activities within the various courtyards. The sculpture courtyard can be seen to take advantage of the electricity substation’s locality, using it as a backdrop to sculptures displayed within. The transition from the busy main strip leading to Gallowgate street to the calmer court-yard space to the West helps to identify different spaces for different people and times of day.

Site Section Through the Courtyards

This section line cuts through our site area from South to North helping to visualise the inner courtyard spaces and their functions throughout the site.

Pedestrians along London Road can be seen to meander through the arched arcade towards a densely popu-lated courtyard. From here people can travel through the colonnade and into the peaceful garden courtyard adjacent to the library and art gallery or venture through the large archway and into the sculpture courtyard.

Site Section Through the Stations

This section line cuts through the site along the North East to South West axis and aims to show the spatial differences within Gallowgate square in comparison to James Morrison St. An overarching theme within our design has been the cut-out section within the office block visible above the lowest part of Gallowgate square. This allows for Gallowgate station and fountain to be visible from the edge of St Andrews in the Square. Gallowgate lower can be seen to exit out onto James Morrison St, with the view of St Andrews in the Square.

Site Plan and Scheme

The ground floor plan in context attempts to illustrate the gallery building in relation to the buildings relative to the scheme. The key supplied provides the data relevant to this.

Floor textures have been included to the gallery plan to help identify similarities between rooms and differences between others. Additionally, courtyard textures have been included where strategic.

Ground Floor Plan

The ground floor utilises the majority of it’s area to accommodate the galleries.

The Western wing of the building is home to the main exhibit, the permanent collection of Jenny Saville’s work. This wing is designed to take the audience on a journey through Saville’s career showing specific artworks in a sort of chronological order throughout.

Upon exiting the main exhibition, one would be guided through the Lucian Freud and Egon Schiele galleries respectively, before venturing through to the temporary gallery collection.

The temporary gallery would promote local artists whilst showcasing individual pieces of famous works on a loan basis, meaning that the temporary gallery would forever be changing.

The dimly highlighted walls within the temporary gallery indicate the raise and lower panels which can change the floors layout dependant on their position.

The majority of services are located to the North end of the Eastern wing.

First Floor Plan

The first floor is home only to the bar area and terrace, with an egress route ajoined.

A good observation of this floor plan is how the “garden voids” interact with different spaces around the building, such as the top right void in this plan. One can observe how tapping in to these voids can allow for masses of natural light to flood the space as well as allowing for interesting views in to and out of the temporary gallery space. These views to and from different levels of the building reinforces the layering aspect of the thesis proposal.

Second Floor Plan

The second floor houses the staff breakout area as well as the gantry floor where the raise and lower panels would rise to. Once risen, the panels can be serviced and the artwork upon them can be changed. The introduction of these raise and lower panels would help in minimising disruption within the gallery below when artwork is being adjusted, as this can be a lengthy process.

A larger loading elevator has been specified in order to transport artwork to and from this floor on trolleys.

The Barras arch to the South does not reach the heights of the second floor, it has merely been kept as a point of reference.

Roof Plan

Though faint, one can observe how maximising roof light was essential within this design in order to maximise the utilisation of the wallspace available wihtin the galleries.

I believe that this has worked best within the Egon Schiele gallery, as depicted within the ground floor plan. The levels of light achieved within that space alone makes for a special environment.

Roof lighting was placed in mind of the artwork within the building not neccessarily wanting direct sunlight.

Structural Detail The axonometric section cut to the right starts to pick out interesting aspects of the facade build-up within the design that are to be expanded upon further.

Contrary to previous renders, the garden voids are visualised in sections rather than looking like single panes.

The lower sections on the internal edges of the voids were made accessible from within the building. This allows access for maintenance at all times as well as offering an opportunity to be open during certain times in the year.

Opening the voids during periods of good weather will allow for a healthy supply of fresh air throughout the ground floor as well as circulating the old. Even throughout the poorer weather, the voids can still be opened as the ground beneath is natural and will capture precipitation.

This section shows the raise and lower panels in greater detail to the perspectives and plans.

Group Urban Design

Liverpool city centre is structurally dense with an extensive business and commercial district and compact knowledge quarter. To the south of the centre is upper parliament street which acts as a buffer and buildings are spread more sporadically. Progressing further south a second wave of densely populated buildings consisting of vast residential areas. This is the location of the site for analysis and is in the area of Dingle.

Dingle, throughout the scope of this investigatory research report has come across as a rather negative area on the cusp of the Liverpool City region, enveloped in a façade of crime and media backlash, the residents of Dingle are swallowed up in a field of negativity on all fronts.

The city centre seems to have disregarded its borderlands and left the

Specific site boundaries were not set for this project, however a border was laid inside the area of Dingle, Liverpool, to which our designs should stay within.

The first part of the project was group work and we were eventually to design a masterplan to regenerate and rejuvinate the area of Dingle however we saw fit.

The group design took many twists and turns along the way, however the starting off point was clear. As a group we had decided that we should analyse the local area through a series of interogative datums. These datums provided us with enough information about the people living within the area of Dingle, to sway us towards specific design CHILDREN AND AGE typologies.

likes of Dingle to fend for itself. Local businesses may thrive within the local area but that is more than likely down to a lack of options in the food retail industry in conjunction with a low average income per household. Travelling in to the city centre for the weekly food shop seems less than practical given that the masses tend to descend on Liverpool One over the weekend.

The colour coded map charts show a wide spread of information; however, an overall view seems to point towards Dingle being a rather average province in the Liverpool area, featuring a bad reputation.

It’s not hard to see that with a decent plan in production, alongside new local developments already taking place, that Dingle could be on the rise once more to sit proudly alongside the city centre, and not cast away in its shadow.

An obvious north/south divide in the region regarding families or parents with children and those without, the latter largely on the eastern side. The western area of the site is perceived as most suitable for children due the addition of garden spaces which the terraces lack. The lack of children in ‘Zone 6’ is obvious due to the very high ageing population, and in the central zones young adults dominate the area.

Isometrics: Horse Crossing Point: Planters are utilised to separate and define the pedestrian and horse route into the main square. Furthermore, the addition of speed bumps slows the traffic approaching the crossing for the safety of the horses and pedestrians. The trees help to offer 1 privacy for the newly proposed residential community.

KEY Physical Activity Hub: The Health & Wellbeing centre located centrally also has an adjacent games field the ideal place for the people to converge and engage and potentially improve the poor physical health as identified in the urban analysis. Secondly a retail zone extends from the games field up towards the multi-functionality of the main square.

This plan shows the relationship between three pre-existing green spaces (top central, east of The Florrie and bottom of the hill), these spaces are now interconnected with a central activity field being the uniting green space. The two key axes form a cruciform shape with the square as the central point of convergence and divergence.

The cycle route is direct until reaching the square where the route curves, encouraging the cyclist to look around and perhaps dismount to interact with the space. The horse route is another key element to the design. There is a direct relationship between the stables and the church (within the church square) as horses are used for nativity plays and the children are encouraged to ride the horses. This relationship is catered in our design as the horse route flows through all three of the squares before navigating down Wellington road and returning to the stables located less than 5 minutes away from the main square. This strategy has the potential to improve the local horse-riding business, which may have a trickle-down effect to business in the square and surrounding areas.

Market Junction: The church parking has been located here to invoke the feeling of procession as people are encouraged to walk around the PUBLIC/PRIVATE VERTICAL ZONING church and enter the community space and then finally the church, thus elevating the community experience. The crossing point is required due to the very high density of the surrounding terraces; therefore, this crossing will demand high levels of footfall.

Wellington Approach: This Isometric illustrates the consideration for movement; with a cycle route leading into the square, along with a large pedestrian route. The road has been converted into one-way thereby reducing the disturbance of traffic, for both the residents and the main square. The cyclists crossing point is one of the areas that emphasises the importance and encouragement for people to adopt this as a means for transport, benefiting their health and the environment.

Individual Urban Design - Origination

The individual design led me to focus on one specific aspect of our group design, that being the square and perimeter buildings.

My main focus within this narrowed plan was the cranked building directly opposite the tower of the Florence Institute.

In order to develop this building I worked on plans and sections of the building in order to establish the desired function and purpose.

As this was being established, I delved deeper in to the surrounding areas of the cranked building and attempted to expand upon some loose articles around the square.

As a way to find inspiration I found myself researching other forms of squares around Europe and found great value throughout the research. Two of the main sources of inspiration came from; The Plaza Mayor in Leon, Madrid, and The Praca do Comercio in Lisbon, Portugal. These are displayed across the page.

Individual Urban Design - Resolution

The resolution of this project had me revieving the materiality choices of the square as well as defining specific buildings within the square as to their function and purpose. Plans, sections and elevations were all drawn out to help illustrate the form of the square and attempt to accurately portray the relationship between the cranked profile and the Florence Institute.

The building to the North of the plans had been transitioned in to a stable area as part of a redirection of equestrian traffic from a neighbouring road to directly through the square, in turn increasing foot traffic within the vicinity of the newly designed retail areas around the squares perimeter

Precedent Study

Great Arthur House by Chamberlin, Powell and Bon was the building I decided to focus on for the precedent study.

My reasons behind this were relatively simple.

I admired the uniformality of the facade and hoped to emulate something similar in to the design of the cranked building on the square.

In conjunction, I found that the roof space of this particular building was rather special.

The bold design along with the functionality of the space helped to establish grounds for some interesting design outputs in relation to the roofing of buildings around my square.

Building Design

I ended up creating three separate typologies in which to feature within the decided site boundary, and each typology would have it’s own area to reside upon.

From the get-go I decided that I didn’t want the three typologies to be too similar in function or form and so I set about designing each on individually.

The plan to the right indicates where on the square each typology would end up, as well as indicate any landscaping that was to be included within the site area.

The cranked element evolved to consist of additional aspects, but the main roots founded within the individual urban design project remained true. The other two typologies took on different forms.

Typology A was to be the area of interest for the nature/wildlife aspect of the design.

Here we can review the final axonometric view of the site from behind the tower of the Florence Institute. The interesting thing about replicating previous drawings with additional information is that it makes the journey easier to see.

The same drawing was illustrated during the individual urban design segment of semester one and when comared with the final design axonometric, one can see just how far the design has come.

Illustrated here are the three seperate typologies as if they were single units and not attached.

The interior views above each axonometric view are relevant to the building they sit atop of, with the two interior views in the middle both coming from typology B. Furniture was added to the interior views as to assist in the dimensions of the buildings, as internal space was an aspect I had to take great care with during the design process, due to the strict limitations of the square.

The two elevations shown here help to illustrate the scale and materiality of both typologies A and B within their settings.

The original versions of these elevations actually resulted in me adjusting the shades of some materials within the typologies and so I found these particular drawings to be most useful.

These two sections help to shed light on the interior layouts of each typology, showing all three across the page.

I found the pitch of the land running from typology C up to typology B rather suprising during the production of these sections, however it had not been an issue throughout the design process, in fact it assisted in the design of the water feature between the two rows of typology A.

Structure Report

Here we have an elevation of a single unit of typology C along with the representative plans to go with it.

The layouts of each floor are illustrated within the plans, as well as indicating that the ground floor is retail only.

Access to these dwellings is through the corner profile of the cranked building within the square, and allows entry via the arcade balcony which runs the perimeter of the typology’s front facing elevation.

Structure Report

The structure report consisted mainly of the section detail visualised on the right hand side of this spread. The list adjacent provides an intense review of each numbered part of the section detail and accurately represents the designs structural intention.

The axonometric view to the immediate right illustrates the section line in which the section detail represents.

Different shades of grey on the included population indicate a change in privacy across the building, with dark grey being public and light grey being private.

Environmental Report

The environmental report was my favourite report to complete as it focuses in on the conservation side of design which typology A was designed around.

The plans to the immediate right indicate the ground and first floor, along with room labels.

The daylight cycle illustrated helps to justify the roofs placement and pitch as well as making good argument for the inclusion of solar panels across the roofs surface.

The rooftop conservation area is and additional form of conservation untouched by residents.

Interior Report

The interior report focused in on typology B and the plans to the far right illustrate a completely furnished dwelling.

Fitting furnishings within a set space was more difficult than initially planned, however all rooms within the dwelling were accounted for and finished.

The interior axonometrics represent the floor they’re neighbouring and are all furnished as well as textured as to provide a greater sense of interior design work.

Typology Modelling

The following models are representative of typologies A and C and were both made using a SketchUp model transferred through a series of programmes and 3D printed at home to be completed.

Each model was made at 1:100 and accurately illustrates the scale of the designs, unfortunately I didn’t get round to adding textures to the facades, however typology A did come with some conservation area context.

Strong work ethic Enthusiastic team member Attention to detail

Work Experience Throughout my time as a Grammar school student, I worked part-time at Lancelyn Theatre Supplies. I worked after school, weekends and during the school holidays, gaining valuable practical skills, experience of working in a team and customer service skills. I worked for Lancelyn until the company was bought out in 2015, when I went to work at Crystal Sound and Light Ltd. Due to the increased demands of school and extracurricular activities, I limited working at Crystal to school holidays and have continued working at the company since starting a LJMU. The work has enabled me to further develop my practical and creative skills; In 2019, the company completed a full install of sound, light and audio-visual equipment at the Cronton New Playhouse, a new build theatre at Cronton Sixth Form Centre. I played an instrumental part in delivering aspects of the work and found it interesting and exciting to be involved and to follow progression from initial planning to completion.

From September 2018 to February 2020 I took an additional part-time job at WHSmith’s to supplement my income. My role included shared responsibility of the Heswall store during weekend shifts, which I worked with a colleague. Working unsupervised and having responsibility as key holder helped build my confidence and I quickly established a good routine and working environment for myself and colleagues. I feel that this experience has encouraged me to work on my own initiative, to act responsibly and to be accountable.

Interests

Tomas Hartley-Cook

I have a fascination for Architecture and enjoy visiting and photographing sitestomashc@hotmail.co.uk during my spare time particularly in terms of adaptive reuse of older buildings and the exciting process of breathing new 07398549854 life into older structures, and buildings in the context of new developments in historic settings.

I have a keen interest in rigging and operating lighting and sound equipment, a skill set that i have used during my part-time working role and have further developed throughout my degree. I have thoroughly enjoyed developing and honing some of these skills during my degree, for instance during our Urban Planning Project. For this project, we were tasked with designing a Master Plan for the Fabric District in Liverpool and I was able to make positive contributions to the plan, based on the skills that I had developed through work.

Throughout High School, I was a keen rugby player, playing for my school team as well as local team, Wirral Rugby Club. Following my GCSEs, I moved to Anselmians Rugby Club, taking a break during my A levels. Rugby taught me more about teamwork than anything else I have done, challenging me both physically and psychologically. The highlight of my time playing rugby was when I was promoted to Team Captain at Wirral Saints, a merging of 3 separate clubs with struggling memberships.

I am currently enrolled on a Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award; I have completed the volunteering and physical sections and have undergone the practice expedition. I am yet to complete the full expedition and residential and plan to complete these during the Summer of 2021.
