Analysis and Artifact
Site Analysis
Site Analysis The emotional analysis when surveying the site and the surrounding area consisted more of the historical aspect. How nature, history and the current buildings are merge with one another.
Artifact
The artifact focuses on the different emotions felt between night and day. where the brick wall is the architectual element that binds both sides. Day: Lively NIght: Dangerous

8 House BIG 2010 Copenhagen, Denmark https://www.dezeen.com/2010/10/22/8-house-by-big-2/
The 8 House was designed by Bjarke Ingels. It is situated in the capital of Denmark, Copenhegen. The overall shape of the building is an ‘8’ when viewed from the top. There is a cross circulation at the centre of the building complex which host all the https://www.dezeen.com/2010/10/22/8-house-by-big-2/ communal space. It can be access from all the sides of building. The building further shows how ‘community is part of the design consideration through the uses of elements such as gardens and pathways that are connected throughout the building.

This building has inspired with my design process through how the building wraps around an open area which allows for nature to be part of the building and allow for a space that separates the busy city life with the community of the building. Further design inspiration from the 8 House with the uses of the different hierarchy with the difference in level which suggest welcomeness into the community.

How a double unit would be stacked together to form a bigger appartment
The two modules placed next to each other side by side.
The two modules placed on top of the other to separate the bedrooms with the living space.
Development Inspiration from Le Corbusier’s UnitÊ d’Habitation de Marseille.

The two modules placed next to each other side by side with the same side to create a longer path at the top of the apartment.

This concept of a bean was initally thought of in section but the amount of curviture would not be viablale when costructed. The thought of it in plan but the curviture is still a problem.
Hexagon shape is the most popular tessalating shape and it also can represent Machester as the bee is the symbol of the City. having the shape in

I have considered on stacking the module at an angle to show some privacy from the opposite neighbour acroos the building but this has caused excess space that can be used for the outside space.
=Family/ 2 bedroom =Students = Stairs + Lifts
The family units and the student units are separated as students would want to be able to concentrate on their study and not be distracted by a child playing in the apartment above.
The movements to the apartments is accessed through deck access to bring the nature that is in the center to each home. Having lifts and stairs at all corners of the buildings suggests how it is feels like a cage so developments have been made.
=Family =Students = Stairs + Lifts
Design Development - Elevation How the modules will be stacked: imitation a brick wall. two units oposit each other to minimize the amount extra materials used for the building.
The downside to this design is that each apartment only has one section with natural light. so the design of one of the modules has made one of the bedrooms having no window so a revised versionof splitting the two stacks into one. in order ot have more natural lighting.

*Work Replicaded from Construction Technology in Architecture The structure that I chose for the building is a Chevron bracing which allows for the load from the middle of the module to transfer to the load bearing walls. The material for the structure of the building is Glulam because of its befefits such as fire resistance, stable and environmentally friendly. It also considered to be the ‘steel’ equivalent of timber.

Fig 9. Detail dsketch of substructure. [Pen sketch]. Done by the author. (2020).
The substructure is consisting of pad foundation becuase it is ecconomically viable compared to pile foundation and the overall height of the structure is only 4 story high which does not need a high stablility substructure compared to other buildings.
