Musical Village in the City Llandaff Cathedral Extension

This project for an extension to Llandaff Cathedral in Cardiff saw music as the means by which to connect the Cathedral to the community, re-establishing it as a hive of activity for a new audience with varied interests.

By creating a ‘village’ of buildings the austerity of the Cathedral is softened and people are encouraged to engage with the space in a more informal way.

These buildings provide adaptable spaces for both Cathedral and community use that can accommodate different functions to meet the changing needs of users. In the centre of this village is an intimate performance space, appearing as a hidden treasure, distinct from the surrounding architecture.

The language of the architecture picks up on both the local domestic vernacular and ecclesiastical elements such as cloisters and high-level windows, to enhance the atmosphere and passage through the space, elevating the everyday experience to the reverent quality found in the Cathedral.

Site Analysis

Llandaff Memorial Hall

The Cathedral School

The Cathedral is in a low point in the landscape, yet visible due to the high spire.

On the edge of Llandaff High Street, it is accessible for nearby residents plus well connected with cycle and bus routes plus parking. This makes it well located as a community hub.

The site is on the edge of a flood risk zone, with woodland to the North, giving it a natural and calming surrounding, but with care needed to avoid flooding.

Program & Connections The project fulfils two demands, providing the facilities and spaces needed to share a love of music, and providing a locus for community activity, the connecting point between different groups, allowing for sharing of skills and experiences.

By augmenting the existing program of school choir rehearsals with social choirs, singing charities, additional school and university choirs, as well as performance spaces that can accomodate a variety of uses, spaces for teaching, business and social life, the Cathedral is repositioned as the heart of the community.

Charities Secondary Schools

Language of the Cathedral The architecture of the Cathedral has been built and rebuilt many times through its history. By paying attention to the details, the unique characteristics of this building can be defined, and enhanced through the new addition, creating new architecture that responds to the existing without mimicking.

The c.1950s Lady Chapel set the precedent for this. It made a similar use of arches, moulded ceilings and ornate details as found in the older Cathedral, whilst being distinct.

These ideas are continued into the new proposal, and the junction between new and existing is treated delicately, with the two buildings not touching one another.

Community Living in Reading This design thesis explores value as the internal measure through which people’s experience of the world is shaped. It seeks to find the universally and uniquely valued aspects of a neighbourhood to create a sustainable community.

A neighbourhood in Reading is used as a vehicle to explore alternative approaches to urban planning and architecture to examine the ability to create more sustainable communities, that are of value now and for the future. This ambition for environmental, economical and social sustainability is inherent in the neighbourhood design at a range of scales that can be implemented both immediately and over the long term.

Community Living The site design is based around pedestrian streets and shared garden spaces to connect new residents into the existing community. It offers a range of community and commercial spaces to invigorate the area and activate it throughout the day.

The houses and flats designs offer adaptability and flexibility, responding to the vernacular of the area and providing outside space for all residents. They have features such as recessed entrances and windows, set to brick dimensions, that reduce in size up the elevation of the building, picking up the local architectural language.

The population diversity of the area is skewed to younger residents. To encourage older residents into the area there are 3 flats and 3 houses that are designed to be wheelchair accessible. They also integrate guest suites that could be used by carers or visiting relatives.

Material Choices The proposal responds to its context through a similar material palette, using brick as the external cladding material throughout. However, different spaces are marked by different brick colours and finishes. Internally, community and commercial spaces are constructed using CLT which is uncovered, providing a distinct yet simple finish. The houses use timber frame construction with a plasterboard finish.

The proposal is designed to Passive House standards, as such the external envelope of the building needs to be highly insulative and air tight. This is achieved using pre-fabricated CLT and timber frame closed panels that allow for precise construction without air gaps.

Using timber for the structure reduces the environmental impact of the project as it is a renewable material with low embodied energy and negative embodied carbon due to that sequestered during its growth. Natural hemp insulation is also a renewable, negative embodied carbon material. These natural materials help offset the energy and carbon levels of brick, reducing the overall carbon footprint of the project.

Chalet Extension AlpStudio The brief for this project was to create a more modern, user-friendly space for a family chalet that could accomodate visitors, somewhere to work and social living space. This was achieved by a modest, glazed extension that made the basement more usable, with much needed storage, and an additional bedroom; and increasing the size of the kitchen, turning the middle floor into a large open-plan living space, with a wrap-around terrace to make the most of stunning mountain views.

The work involved setting out the client brief, understanding local requirements and their impact on the design, site and risk analysis and putting together a feasibility document with several options plus estimated timeline and budget.

Private Residences AlpStudio Based in the French Alps, the practice designs new chalets, renovations, and extensions for private clients.

Working here meant adapting to a different planning and regulation system, culture and language.

Projects needed to respond to the mountainous landscape; the difficulties of construction, the threat of extreme weather and avalanches, the opportunities to explore new materials and maximise beautiful views.

My work was predominantly at the feasibility stage, undertaking initial site surveys, establishing the client brief and responding to it with concept designs.

As a fledgling practice, I was also involved in the set-up of document templates and office standards. https://www.alpstudio74.com/

Large-Scale Residential Robert Rigby Architects Based in Reading, the practice works across a range of scales in the residential sector.

The work ranged from concept and feasibility packages to detail drawings and documents for construction.

Initially I was involved in providing support on projects at technical stage, producing plans, sections, elevations and details for contractors, clients, suppliers and engineers.

This increased my knowledge of construction and developed my detail drawing skills.

Over time I took on a more independent role, working directly with clients on various projects, from renovations and extensions through to a large residential development.

This built my confidence with clients and collaborating with others in the office and externally. It also gave me the chance to be more involved in design and develop more visual drawing skills. https://www.rigbyarchitects.com/

Exploring Voyeurism in Stacked Spaces House for Jeff Wall

“Since it’s invention, the camera has been used to make images surreptiously and satisfy the desire to see what is hidden... Exposed explores the uneasy relationship between making and viewing images that deliberately crosses lines of privacy and propriety”

-’Exposed’ exhibtion Tate Modern 2010

A four-storey terraced house occupies an inocuous spot on an anonymous street, surrounded by the homogenity of suburbia.

But, this one is different, this house is a facade, a stage-set, for the work and life of photographer Jeff Wall.

Stepping through the front door reveals not a house, but a gallery, occupying the space of a once lived-in and loved home.

Now the tight staircase and corridors weave through the empty rooms, past large-scale and overlit works of art, more like advertisements than art. Images of other lives push themselves onto you, scenes that you haven’t been invited to look at. In between these goliaths are the old windows, but instead of looking out into the garden you peer through into the living space of the artist, has he, so consumed by his work, now become the art? Or is it in fact the other way around, and are you the subject?

The threshold between private and public is played with throughout the building, with windows offering views from the artist’s residence into the gallery, perhaps inspiring his next piece of work, but this goes the other way, with visitors viewing not only the art, but the artist. Stacking the residential boxes in an ad-hoc manner means that the floors and window never directly align, so the views are always from an unusual angle, offering a fresh perspective.

The darkroom cuts vertically through the space, with it’s charred wood finish offering a darkness to counter the lights of the photographs. A single skylight feeds light down to the ground floor, giving the space an almost sacred atmosphere in which the meticulous process of developing and manipulating photographs can take place.

Artist as Voyeur The interaction between the residential and gallery was explored as an opportunity for voyeurism through models.

The effect of layering wall apertures, altering levels and using different transparencies were investigated as ways of manipulating what was and wasn’t visible.

Stacked Spaces After establishing the minimum space required and the street facade as a constant, the ways that the internal spaces could be layered, stacked and dissected to create a dynamic relationship between artist and visitor were investigated.

Reclaiming the Spaces In Between Student Housing +

A student housing project with additional functionalities inserted. A large mixed-use and adaptable space is interspersed with student accomodation. This overlapping and interweaving encourages interaction and communication between students and the local community, although not always as expected.

Stairs are reimagined as usuable space, connecting both public and student streets in the sky, whilst being a destination and purpose of their own . The space created by shifting and adapting the oversized staircase is used to provide a base for additional units to situate themselves into.

The dynamic nature of stairs creates movement through the building, allowing for play, exploration and reinpretation of the space.

Pushing and pulling and the overlapping levels of public and student create openings between the two worlds, voyeuristic glimpses into another person’s life. The building is seen as offering a cinematic experience with framed and accidental views giving the feeling of spectating.

A small footprint and open ground level stimulate an engagement with the green, making the space more usuable and enjoyable. With the student realm defined by clean and simple concrete, the additional units are open to personalisation and are used as a means of expression.

“Architecture is defined by the actions it witnesses as much as by the enclosure of its walls. Murder in the Street differs from Murder in the Cathedral in the same way love in the street differs from the Street of Love. Radically”

-Bernard Tschumi ‘Advertisements for Architecture’

The design of this project aims to meet two different demands; the need for more student housing with a social hub to enhance the nearby Student Union, and the need for more facilities in the local community to improve the use of The Avenue green space.

By bringing these two demands together in a single building and interweaving them with one another the additional objective of bringing two sometimes disparate groups of people together and creating new connections is achieved.

Moulsecoomb is Brighton University’s biggest campus, but has the largest shortfall in bed spaces.

The area around Moulsecoomb campus is considered an education hub for the city. It is home to the Student Union reception, a small office used by limited staff.

There is no Student Union bar and few places for free congregation.

Most students living in private accomodation are based along Lewes Road, in close proximity to Moulsecoomb.

The separate halls and campuses are distinct from each other, with no shared space allowing all students to come together.

Physical and anecdotal analysis reveal that Moulsecoombe Avenue is an underused stretch of green land, bounded on all three sides by roads. The lack of any distinct feature, functionality or definition mean the space has no focus.

Prevailing south-westerly wind carries the sound from the busy Lewes Road up the site, limited planting fails to act as a barrier. Being south-facing, with low-rise housing around it means that the site does receive a lot of sunlight and in the summer can be a pleasant place to go, with events such as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Big Green Outâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; barbeque maximising the space.

Site Strategy

6.5

Using a massing model various different densities, masses, heights and locations for the building were explored.

Placing the building on the north of the site creates a buffer against Lewes Road and maintains high light levels on the green. A mid-size block will respond to the height of the nearby university buildings, without overpowering the lower housing nearby. It will also provide enough student housing to create a university hub and provide space for several ‘plus’ units.

Streets In the Sky Taking inspiration from Peter and Alison Smithson’s notion for streets in the sky, the building has several ‘streets’ at different levels.

Sometimes these are public, sometimes they are for the student accomodation, facing both onto Lewes Road and The Avenue. Connected by the wide stairs these streets create a social hub, with different units for amenities accessible off them. Facing out onto the green or road gives these streets and the shops, cafes etc situated on them visibility drawing people up into the building. Cantilevered off from the student street are the kitchen/dining units. Every student room connects back to the student street, avoiding the standard unit of 6-8 per kitchen, instead allowing the residents of the whole building to meet and choose where and with whom to eat, socialise etc. Lifting the streets off the ground and up into the air also reduces the footprint, meaning that the green space is maintained.

The initial architectural form is a repeated unit that creates a sense of rhythm

INITIAL ARCHITECTURAL FORM

Rotated section through student units

Life as cinema With views between public and student areas created by the overlap in function and the shifted position of stairs and floors, the building offers a voyeuristic and cinematic experience.

The repeated forms of louvres or stairs along the streets create a dramatic view, perhaps encouraging a more charged encounter with the next person. Views are framed by chunky window frames, sometimes obscured and sometimes looking into a private world. This creates the feeling of being a spectator, watching someone else without their direct knowledge, whilst simultaneously being the subject of someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private film.

Additional Projects

Degree Shows & Catalogue Various additional projects have allowed me to explore my interests within the full scope of architecture, from exhibitions, publications, and competitions to getting hands-on with construction.

Developing on from my undergraduate dissertation, an essay on high-rise buildings, the future they seemed to offer and the reality they delivered, was published in the anthology Alternative Worlds, Ricarda Vidal & Ingo Cornils (eds) in 2015.

My parents unused garage was converted into separate accomodation, providing kitchen, living space, bedroom and bathroom for visiting family, also doubling as an office.

I became involved, through a friend, with local charity Swings & Smiles to help develop an indoor/outdoor play facility for children with disabilities and their families. At a very early stage this project is initially about helping the charity achieve clarity on its vision and develop a cohesive brief.

Exhibiting Students Work Degree Shows & Catalogue

For our degree show in Brighton some of the students helped construct an exhibition space, with a permanent rammed earth spine and wood panel walls to display work. The mix of recycled and natural materials gave the pavilion an ad-hoc feel, whilst remaining a simple canvas for student work.

Once dismantled the once panel walls were refashioned into display tables for a small London exhibition that a small group of students organised in a building undergoing refurbishment.

The stripped back walls and floor complemented the simple display system and lighting.

To accompany the shows a catalogue was produced showcasing all the students work as well as giving a taste of life at Brighton University.

Dialogues - Outline of Approach

Scarce Times

Community Competition This competition sought solutions to issues of real and perceived scarcity in Bromley-by-Bow, the most financially deprived district in London. In the wake of the 2012 London Olympic developments, some of which were nearby, the question was asked of how to work with the existing community to bring about change and development for everyone.

The format of this project consisted of initial pitches, developed by myself and a friend, which were then further developed with another team met at the first event, encouraging collaboration and new ideas.

Our suggestion was to help communicate and celebrate what already existed in the area, using the simple idea of a roaming conversation caravan, that could move to different locations, dispersing information and gathering stories of the area. This could work to help connect people, with skill, time and equipment sharing proposed as new currency formats.

My MArch final unit was entitled ‘Value’ and explored what this term meant in different situations to different audiences. This was a research based unit, and we looked at the topic from economic, social, environmental, material and philosophical standpoints amongst others. This was achieved through various readings, lectures, study trips and engagement with schools on a live community project.

To document the outcomes of this extensive reasearch ‘The Value Pocket Book’ was created, a guide to what we had covered during the year, how this can help define the term value, and how these ideas were implemented into individual and group projects.
