Horizon | Chat Moss

Overpopulation, pollution, the burning of fossil fuels, and deforestation are just a few of the ways that developments in construction, technology, and Agriculture have severely impacted the natural environment. Climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water have been sevierly impacted (“Human Impacts On The Environment”, 2022).

Sice 2010, the Chat Moss sector was orentated for peat extraction, presenting as 100 hectares of bare peat with no vegitation aswell as minimal life in the area. Due to the extraction the site hasnt received a Site of Special Scientific Interest designation, despite Astley Moss, a nearby site, receiving both an SSSI and a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) designation under the Habitats Directive. Ironically, the Chat Moss site is seen to have the most potential for environmental conservation. The “Chat Mos Project” was chosen as the name for the proposal to rewet and restore the 100-hectare area. Ever Since the terrain of the plot has transformed constantly, it has encouraged animals to the region. (Harvey, 2010)

A bird hide has been assigned to help with the rewilding process and the documenting of wildlife in Chat mos and the surrounding region. The hides focus is to document and increas visability on gorund nesting birds with the redshank in mind. The Chat mos region’s Birdwatching community is essential due to the promotion awell as direct connection between people and their natural environment. the development of a community that values and protects the chat moss region.

Each area except the “Cover” features chat moss and within a wild Salford. The red areas represent human interference, such as birdwatchers/community members interfering with other birds while trying to photograph, the difference between a human outside and one partially hidden in a camouflaged area, and a hidden building built in an unsustainable manner that may become derelict and an eye sore in the natural landscape.

Commonly known as greenshank, are found mostly within heathland, moorland, freshwater, coastal, and wetland areas. under the UK’s Birds of Conservation Concern 4 Amber List as a species (2015 update).The loss of breeding and wintering sites renders the redshank in danger. Due to industrial development, land reclamation, flood control, wetland drainage, salt marshes, mudflats, or intertidal ecosystems being inundated by sea level rise.

Redshanks are known as watchful, noisy birds that will warn the surrounding area with their loud piping cry of any predators. Frequently being heard before they are seen.

Due to the inland nesting redshanks a birdwatch is requred with a raised platform allowing the user to look at an angle into the veriaty of grasland sward hights and tussocks camoflagin the Redshanks nest. The raised platform is also need due to the birds sense of surroundings and disruptions may the birds to leave their resting places early or abandon their eggs. Because of this, there shouldn’t be much human interaction between twitchers and Redshanks.

R/Birding

This graphic includes birdwatchers’ best responses to queries on what makes a good bird hide. The bird hides above the landscape due to the image’s high water table. The right side of the graphic shows how landscape changes over time with large perspectives. One wheelchair-bound figure represents the community’s disabled members and their demands.

The Reddit birdwatching forum (R/birding) has 410k members. a sizable community. offering a list of resources that give information about many aspects of birdwatching suc,h as preferred places, ethical norms, and technology. Targeted questions about the site provided more relevant information. leading to the outcome of specifications like a dry, wind-free environment with numerous clear lines of sight. Given that redshanks are known for being among the faster birds to react to predators, concealment is by far the most critical factor. All places are kept as secluded as possible.

Because of the dense grass in redshank nesting areas and the unpredictability of the water table, the bird hide will offer a raised ground plane. This will also provide greater lines of sight and better visuals for impaired persons. Room fot specialised equipment, other than normal, bioculars, cameras, spoting scopes, books, teliscopes and notebooks will be incorperated.

The Slow House

It was created as a holiday house in New York, overlooking Nayak Bay. The slow home’s curve and lack of side windows highlighted independence from external commitments. Because the house’s curvature originates from a single point, the bathrooms and bedrooms are joined. To accentuate the long curtain wall at the rear of the apartment, the open-plan kitchen and living area are elevated above the row of bathrooms and bedrooms.

The 1:10 scale sectional model of the bird hide demonstrates the quality of the facade walls. This is owing to the difficulties caused by seeing the hide from various angles. This permits the birdwatcher to freely observe the bird while remaining relatively secure from being detected. Due to the uncontested vantage position inside the bird hide, the utilisation of two levels further improves the essential performance of birdwatching.

Visitor Centre Aerodome.

Barton Aerodrome

Barton Aerodrome is known as the “thriving general aviation airfield located in the City of Salford.” General Aviation Airport | City Airport (Manchester Barton) | Eccles, n.d. To achieve these goals, a recommended visitor centre is essential.

The Visitor Centre allows the general public to connect with, examine, and learn about the local impact on Manchester/aviation within Salford’s past. Providing a sense of belonging, pride, and community in the local community while also creating new jobs as a consequence of the “thriving business” spurred by the community’s involvement with the site.

Built in March 1929 and opened in January 1930 as Manchester’s first airport, with a brick and slate building acting as the terminal. Built on the site of the historic Fox Hill Farm. R emnants may still be spotted. The location of the airport was chosen owing to its closeness to the existing A57, which allows for significant circulation routes into Manchester. With a history that includes World War II, RAF training grounds, and a Northwest air ambulance station, Barton as a major historical and community asset. n.d. (City Airport - Our History)

No commercial aircraft have entered or left the Present Day Aerodrome, which operates inside a general aviation area, since 1953. Despite its closeness to Manchester, the facility is seldom used for VIP access to and from the city. Aside from NW Air Ambulance, the region has a developing population of aircraft spotters, volunteers, hobbyists, and engineers. The airport, which is home to two groups, the Manchester Aviation Art Society and the Barton Model Flying Club, offers job possibilities for the surrounding population. Furthermore, the airport holds yearly community events, is home to the North West Air Ambulance Charity, and donates to and supports local organisations via fundraising efforts.

Surrounding Context

Barton Aerodrome is situated in Chat Moss, a once-vast “lowland raised bog” that has been steadily degrading since the 19th century as a result of heavy farming and peat extraction since the industrial revolution. Only Astley, Cadenhead, and Little Wooden Moss comprise chat moss. Plans for drainage removal surrounding and within the airfield have been proposed in an attempt to recover the moss.

The Manchester Shipping canal and distribution plant link the property to its industrial surroundings and are situated just across the street from the airfield. In close proximity to the airfield is a ruby stadium situated in the Trafford centre.

National Aviation Museum of Korea | Haeahn Architecture

South Korea’s Gimpo Airport National Aviation Museum was constructed with the aviation industry in mind. Three concepts are reflected in the design of the aviation museum: science, liberty, and adventure.

A) The design incorporates a turbine engine form. Allowing for the building to be easily recognized.

B) The exterior design also permits an open “gallery,” enabling aircraft to be examined from several perspectives. The exhibits use less floor areafloor area is used by the exhibits as a result of the planes being raised and lowered across the space, resulting in an increased space efficiency.

C) The elevated pathway permits proper appreciation of the elevated planes while maintaining the areas spacious feel.

Intersection | Design Compatition

The Intersection is a submission for a design competition to build spaces out of shipping containers; the container design may incorporate the visitor centre into the industrial history of Salford and give an interior section that may be used as an exhibition/museum space.

Due to the stringent constraints imposed by the competition, the space is also space-efficient. The effectiveness will aid in enhancing the room’s sense of spaciousness.

Due to the use of containers arranged in a stacked fashion, the openings may be created, enabling natural-looking light to reach more areas inside the building.

Glashaus | Design Compatition

The Glashaus allows 24 international students to study architecture for two months at the renowned Bauhaus. The Glashaus creates places conducive to collaborative learning by grouping persons by floor.

The use of a glass façade optimises the space’s vistas and creates a sense of expansiveness inside the comparatively tiny area.

The verticality of spaces generates a hierarchy of isolation, with the lowest sector being completely open and visible while the areas further up rise in seclusion.

The glass facade is also known as a “display case,” and the spaces formed inside it may be used for exhibitions and plane-watching.

College of Life Sciences

| CTNN Design

The College of Life Sciences is a cutting-edge teaching and research institution that will encompass five academic departments and a language unit—Art and Design, Communication Science and Language, and Environmental Technology Management. A central atrium with a vast overhanging canopy is the focal point of the College’s Architectural Concept Design.

A) The use of V-shaped columns gives the structure a large, efficient facade while decreasing the building’s total footprint. Because of the structural feature, the design seems lighter in relation to its surroundings.

B) As a consequence of the incurving perspective, the employment of two crossing pieces to build a distinctive shape that provides a viewing platform with a large surface area. Furthermore, this serves as a focal point for the viewing area, which may be centred on the active runway.

Representing a Beijing street and serves as the city’s principal cultural symbol. The tale depicts the daily lives of average citizens, the unique culture of the town, and the rise and fall of the local population. It depicts the coexistence of life and building. Using a mixture of the present and the past, western and eastern culture, and contemporary language. This has resulted in the inclusion of several vertical levels, allowing for multiple scopic regimes across the region. This also improves space use efficiency. Several specialized regions grow around a core “street” inside the construction.

As a consequence, specialised areas such as bars, art spaces, playrooms, and VIP sections are grouped, allowing for a hierarchy and separation of the specialised room. This allows each region to operate independently of the others. The use of wood throughout the construction creates a smooth flow between sections by bridging the apparent hierarchy.

The 59 is a coffee shop that was converted from a building from the 1970s. The 59 is tucked away at the end of a little alley off Hai Phong Street.As a consequence of the refurbishment of a historic home, the house has retained its intimate, confined character. This is similar to the airport’s on-site café. This precedent allows the new café to have conventional, but inviting features while also adding a modern touch to the area.

The café’s tiny compartmentalized spaces contrast with the museum’s vast open atmosphere, inviting guests within. The proximity of the two locations creates a distinct separation between them, allowing them to operate differently. Moreover, maximize space by developing social and private sections throughout the café.

Montage

The above montage includes flight, views, and natural scenery. Combining a landscape near chat moss, integrating the local regeneration effort, and harmonizing the concept for Barton’s community. Due to bartons grass runway, the contrast of industrial past and present is created by the inclusion of ruins within the environment. The usage of two Spitfires provides an identifiable dividing line throughout the montage. To create a roof-like structure over the users implemented with three-dimensional folding region shown by the right-side-folded panel. The planes and folded-like functions are also used to accommodate viewing levels as well as angles. The use of Elevated exhibition areas and an observation deck incorporates the museum and vertical viewing angles.

Guidelines

The use of three guidelines integrating views both inside and outside the structure, as well as ideal entry locations, facilitates the creation of a simplified design star for early designs. The guidelines stipulate that the museum area must have both a guest entry and an aircraft entrance. The line also accommodates the site’s usable area without sacrificing many parking spaces, enabling the entry to approach Bartons’ road access.

model

The 1:10 scale physical model of the plane-watching area illustrates the modularity of the designated region. This is because the observation platforms are interwoven on all four stories, with one outside and three inside; the three interior floors, designated as the viewing area, consist of parallel wooden slats to the curtain wall. Community usage, such as air shows and fireworks displays, necessitated the creation of a structure that maximised visibility and capacity. When not required in this capacity, the room may be quickly repurposed to house historic objects that assist the tourist centre by using all available space. As a result of the tiny footprint.

42 | Visitor Centre | 1:10 MODEL

1 : 200 model

The 1:200 scale model accentuates the sculpture’s angular protrusions. Two separate sectors may be distinguished, including the major shape and blocky protrusions; the protrusions interrupt the generally spotless facade of the centre, signalling the entry owing to the clustered concentration. An overhang of the central shape over the cluster denotes a distinct hierarchical distinction between the massive Hangar-like form and the smaller container-like region.

On the rear of the model, a characteristic step-like form can be recognized, and the structure permits sunshine to reach places that would otherwise be dull, degraded space within the green strip between the runway and the tourist centre..

Structural Rationale Diagram

Due to the non-structural nature of several rooms, the modularity of the space is made possible by the use of A-shaped pillars as the primary structural system. As a result of visually enlarging the area, the beam system also offers magnificent perspectives and a spacious fell to the centre. I, inn addition to offsetting the floor above. Due to the majority of the system’s integration into the visitor center’s core, the use of glass walls and the incorporation of several vantage points on various floors allows for effective solar illumination. In addition to putting studs into the surrounding ground to increase the building’s durability with the floor slabs.
