Conceptual Collage

Depending on the slope the building has a dominant side for the view to a wider range of landscape/context. In this Volume 1 is higher than volume 2.

This results in much wider opening on the existing structure to capture the dynamic landscape.

C

The site is entirely surrounded by dynamic canvases with sky and landscape

Static Pattern Source

Natural Dynamic Pattern Source

Layers

The sun being the main source for the shadows is the main dynamic element in nature

The branches of the trees (Natural Dynamic Pattern Source )which acts as a source for the shadow pattern is also dynamic in nature as it grows every day and can possibly change its position based on the weathering pattern by nature and seasons.

When introduced to a medium of water the refraction caused more variance on the pattern.

These layer systems provide an infinite number of pattern formation with the help of nature

Capturing the Light

In order the form the dynamic shadow pattern the chimney being the tallest existing structure was used a receptor of light

The light received will then undergo multiple reflection with the help of mirrors placed inside to make light travel to the lover part of the chimney shaft

The light then goes through a water chamber which will thus help in the additional dynamic layer for the formation of the pattern on to the feature wall outside the building.

Traces of the Old Roof

Sense of Place

The metal can be integrated in such a way the sound from the nature such as rain falling on top of a metal will generate sound and will help the user to identify the old broken left over roof position with the help of sound

The detail show how the new wall made with the combination of brick and precast concrete is connected to the existing limestone masonry wall.

Year

Brief

2021

To introduce a green culture of the allotments in the UK to the urban fabric such that people get involved in healthy practice of cultivating their own food and other food ingrediants along with having a leisure spot for them rather travelling a long distance to access the town garden.

Software used:

In the 1800s Cobden Chambers was used as a photography studio for Nottingham’s society of artists. In 1890 it was the registered office for Notts County Football Club. From the 1970s it was used as the editing house for platform a monthly arts magazine for the midlands. From the 1980s it was home to a Horologist.

Cobden Chambers Pelham St, Nottingham NG1 2ED Was Now

Cobden Chambers is home to a number of exciting, creative businesses making and selling everything from quirky home accessories, to vintage and antique items, to boutique fashion, jewellery and music.

Based at the top of Pelham Street and comprised around a large central sun trap of a courtyard, Cobden Chambers is made up of Cobden Terraces and Cobden Place. The Courtyard plays host to pop-up street food vendors, markets and street art, drawing visitors into the Chambers and creating a dynamic, vibrant atmosphere.

Noise Study Analysis

Understanding of the noise levels on each area of the site was important for appropriate zoning of each spaces according to the design brief. A study was done based on the noise level considering the user movement frequency and activity

Light Study Analysis

Intensities of the natural light were analysed in different areas of the site at different times of the day to find a suitable spot for various spaces based on the project requirement
