STAGE VI

STAGE VII

STAGES: The illustrations on this page are the sequences taken to create the massing of the proposal from a front (south) view.

The initial mass starts from extruding the site boundary and evolves through a series of cuts in the volume to make it less intimidating towards the neighbouring buildings in front (south) and then reviving the alley through the site and continuing it within the mass to create a visual vista. The final stages include adding the connections of the two masses and then the addition of outdoor space and rooftop area.

Stage I: recognition of the site boundary.

Stage II: extruding the site to the same height as the adjacent buildings.

Stage III: pushing back the mass on front (south) and east sides creating some public space for the proposal.

Stage IV: creating of a walkway through the mass and the extension of the rear alley within the site, connection either sides of the site and reviving the visual beauty of the elongated alley through the site.

Further pushing back the building on front on the newly separated west wing and east wing masses.

Stage V: creating a connection on ground level between the east and west sides proving ground access for logistic purposes and efficiency. Further setting back the upper floors to enhance the scale and shape of the mass with the nearby buildings and context.

Stage VI: connecting the two east and west wings on first and second floors.

Stage VII: creating outdoor space extensions above the public space in front of the building which also provides shading and shelter for the area, and in the back following the same principle. The addition of public space on the roof on the west wing.

Phase 0 The site boundary has been outlined (coloured red) and the possible mass of the proposal will be within this boundary. To the south and east the site is adjacent to the streets, to the north to the neighbouring buildings and a little interesting alley, and to the west is limited to the narrow street running diagonal to the main grid block.

B

Phase 1 At this stage the parts of the site which were intended to contain the future proposal were extruded, creating a single mass as the first step of proposal and to enforce the necessary alteration according to the needs and requirements of the proposal. This mass will be changed through a few steps in regards to both needs and the context of the site.

Phase 2 At thus stage the mass was divided to two segments. This was because of the importance of the little alley and preserving a view from the front (South) of the building towards the rear (North), creating an interesting passage through the main proposed mass. It not only breaks the mass in two reducing its dominance on the area to a more human scale level, but also provides a shadowing area and internal ventilation for the whole building.

B

B

Phase 3 Following Phase 2, the building has less intimidating dominance on the area, but yet it appears as a solid blocking mass on the front (North) entrance since the adjacent old buildings are only two storey high. To create a better harmony with the surroundings, the hight at the front was reduced by one floor while keeping the same at the back. This alteration provided a gradual stepping up of the building towards the existing higher buildings on the North parts, creating a potential for outdoor spaces and on-the-roof facilities.

For the purpose of logistics on the East block floors on the rear are removed, setting back the building from the next ones. The Ground floor (only) on the West block has also been removed, both together providing access to the building from street, allowing for transport, loading and unloading purposes and connecting the East and West sides on the ground.

Phase 4 Considering the climate and the culture of outdoor life of Greece, in this stage the front of the building which was previously set back, and at the rear where the East block was removed balcony has been added to the proposal, which at the front is placed for the first floor and for the second floor at the rear East part connecting the two blocks at the back on the second floor. The roof of the west block has been proposed as an additional outdoor space.

Phase 5 This is the final phase where the mass has been crafted to fit the context, the environment and the area, and tailored in a way to serve the purpose as its best.

AN ACTIVE EXAMPLE

33

Look Mum No Hands!

As part of precedent study this bike repair shop was observed. It is a combination of a repair centre for bicycles and a small restaurant. Although the main motif of the store is repairing bikes but according to the manager %65 of the profit comes from the kitchen, %25 from the repair and the rest from the accessories they sell! This shows how important the social part is and how much food can be important in any business.

First Floor plan 1:500@A3

Second Floor plan 1:500@A3

The ground floor plan consists of the main general workshops, the kitchen and dinning area, the entrance to the building and the security space, on the west wing.

The mezzanine floor on the west wing is mainly a pathway with wider portions designed for drinking or small dining spaces. This corridor allows for the visitors to walk above the workshops and provides with extra space.

The first floor plan is connected on both sides through to corridors.

There is no direct access to the east side of this floor from the east wing to ensure the security and safety of the valuable equipment and tools which are used in the specialist workshops of this floor.

The second floor is mostly for profit orientated activities and private hire. This floor is mainly empty spaces and a vast outdoor area which allows for the events or activities to be held on this floor.

In the east wing the mezzanine floor covers the services and the security area of the ground floor, and is provided for a quiet training or gathering space, and is connected through a turning staircase to the ground floor.

In addition to theses smaller but more sophisticated workshops, there are some training spaces for those who require further training, or wish to acquire the skills.

On the east wing, the majority of space is taken by the communal area of the workshop and the exhibition space which is next to the busy street.

In addition to the rooftop are it also includes a big balcony facing the east side or the site without anything underneath creating and interesting and thrilling view and experience.

In front of this floor there is the broad balcony providing outdoor space for the occupants should the weather and conditions allow for outside seating.

With the consideration of Prefabrication in mind most of the spaces are designed in a way to follow a certain repetition thus most of the facilities fit within a 4x4m or 3x3m room, or have a dimension equal to two of these spaces next to each other.

ENHANCEMENT AND ADVANCEMENT

45

Ground Floor and Mezzanine Level

Ground and Mezzanine Floors (above) The 3D illustration shows the connections of spaces together within the Ground and Mezzanine (coloured parts) floors of the proposal. As seen here the workshops are on the Ground level with open access spaces and circular mezzanine corridor above for viewing and dining purposes. The exhibition space on the east wing with high ceiling and row of columns create a space for showcasing various objects and utilizing the vertical space for taller objects or for items to be suspended.

First Floor (right) The First Floor connects the two wings of the building while the skilled workshops have been placed on the east wings instead of west as they are on the Ground Level. There are two large communal spaces on either side of the kitchen for training purposes and a few dining spaces which one specially ha a view from above to the Ground surface offering an interesting view. In addition to the internal spaces there is a large outdoor space provided for gathering and socializing purposes with a small cafe opening to this area as well.

Southeast (front) Aerial View The south view is a presentation of the from and main part of the building, with the majority of the path focusing on this part and along the street. The combination of the stepped back building, the cycle path folding on itself and covering the entrance, the corridor between the two parts of the building and the extension of the third floor on the top of the ramp create a significant point in the area.

The Cycle Path On the second floor as mentioned there is an entrance/exit to the path should anyone require to leave the path. On the third floor however not only there is an entrance/exit for the same reason but also the path on this level separates into two parts. One section is the continuum from the second floor and the other starts from the mentioned entry point as a separate path turning to the top of the building on the north side of the site. The other path continues to finish at the same point while on its way produces a branch moving towards the southern parts of the building and with a sharp turn ending on the roof top.

The Cycle Path The feature of the building which will connect it to the idea of cycle and it usage to a higher level is the path turning around the building and passing through it. This path will start from the ground level and eventually end up at the highest part(s) of the building.

GF

To design this ramp several challenges have to be dealt with including the very slight angle which lengthens the path tremendously and therefore reaching a higher point will only be possible through turns and twists which in turn would consume the site area if placed within the site.

For safety reasons and also for convenience at some parts of the path stairs have been placed and at the second and third floor there is an entrance/ exit to the path. On the last floor there is the finishing part of the path which also leads to the lift in case there is a desire to use the lift at first or on return.

55

The proposal at the current stage Top view NTS

In the top view the twist and turns of the cycle pathway are visible. This view also clearly shows how the ramp turns around the structure to provide the required length following the standard angle for cycling.
