04P4Re-Use Site Plan and Site Visit

In Project 4 we have been tasked to revitalise an abandoned Sawmill in Pollok Park. The building is part of a farming estate that has plans to be redeveloped in the future. In our visit to the Sawmill we were presented with magnificent open space and a weir that used to power the sawmill. To develop the sawmill we needed to first understand the site and the history as well as to see how has adaptive Reuse been done by other architects to construct our own proposal for this historic building.

Existing Elevations & Sections of the Sawmill

The Sawmill had been constructed incrementally over its history, Its spaces are not all connected and there are inaccessible areas which will need to be retrofitted to accommodate visitors with movement, sight and hearing impairment.

Sound Study & Shadow Analysis

Unscientific Sound study using a Walking Stick tip to tap various surfaces to undertand the relation between hard, soft and hollow materials. I realised that the ‘Perceived Sound’ Volume and quality is affected byhe Sound quality is affected the aggregation of various materials and the materials around them.

Taking Inspiration from the programme and the Site conditions I begun to map out various spaces for Hydroponics, Aquaponics etc. I also begun use the fabric as a spatial device to change spaces and their possible programmes

Space Planning V7,8,9

Last Design iteration aimed to clean up as much of the lackluster fabric moving purposes. Now every state of the moving fabric must have a purpose that ties in with the spatial planning and programme
