THE PICTURESQUE PILGRIMAGE

Spring 2017 / Academic /Individual Project / Northumbria University / Module Tutor : Stephen Roberts 2017 RIBA Hadrian Medal nominated

Archive of Lancelot “Capability” Brown and the Interpretation for the Northumbrian landscape In 1782 Horace Walpole wrote of William Kent (1684-1784), “He leaped the fence and saw that all nature was a garden”.

The phrase acknowledged shifting attitudes towards 18th century garden design, the geometric formality of previous centuries dissolving into serpentine and irregular naturalistic compositions. Born in Northumberland, Lancelot Brown, the leading exponent of the naturalistic landscape, was engaged to landscape the north and west property of Alnwick castle by the first Duke of Northumberland in the 1770s.

In the project, a national archive to create a focus for the celebration and recording of Lancelot Brown’s life and the appreciation and interpretation of his work is designed. In addition, a journey is realised in the landscape based on the interpretation to the history of Northumberland and Picturesque movement adding follies on the garden and creating visual engagements.

Stage set for tragic scene(1540) / Serlio

- Coulisse and Perspective Scenery means the large painted pictures used on a theatre stage to represent the place where the action is as well as the natural features of a landscape. In Renaissance era, corridor was drew or built on each side of the stage of theatre, attempting to create perspective and it was called Coulisse.

- Framing the Scenery

According to Crandell (1933), this idea was applied to the landscape painting as a method of framing the scenery. In the actual landscape, a particular view can be defined using two different objects and the view can be controlled being confined its realm.

- Route and Hodological Space (Kurt Lewin, 1890~1947) Apart from physical space, a person experiences a perceptual space with body movement affected by topological, physical,

social and psychological conditions and the visual Perception determines the shape of the walk.

The Tempest(1506-1508) / Giorgione

Mid-ground

Background

Recognised as the first painting that landscape plays a key role, the work includes two characters - a woman whose vision is on the appreciator who is outside of the painting and a soldier gazing on the woman. Each view creates a triangle of vision and it functions as a device to involve the appreciator into the work emotionally. This composition was applied to the placement of follies in the landscape creating visual axes.

A. Capability Brown Archive Centre

B. Wedding Hall

The pilgrimage starts from the duchess point where one is able to look down the whole landscape. The view of landscape disappears from one’s view as one goes down the staircase. The visitor reaches at Aln river after descending the long narrow staircase and starts to get involved in the landscape.

The first folly catches eyes of the pilgrim who has just crossed the river and leads one to itself. In the wedding hall, the corridor is a route of entry for bride with her father and also a route of departure with groom. Exaggerating the route configuration, the experience in the space that awaken memories and emotion is maximised.

C. White Cross Howl Memorial

D. Chapel

In 17c, most of the population of Denwick were carried away by plague and buried at the east part of the current garden. Located on the approaching path to the burial place called White Cross Howl�, the memorial provides a space of rest and contemplation on the way of the journey.

Passing by the holy pond, visitors get to the small chapel.

The dim light coming down from the top of the prayer room creates a reverent atmosphere as one prays. There is a staircase leading the visitor to the lookout of the chapel. The picturesque scenery lays stretched out before one’s eyes and the arduous journey is rewarded eventually.

Framing the View The parti shows the initial idea of dealing with the view to the landscape. The row of frames splits and defines the view which is recognised in three stages - foreground as the terrace, mid-ground as Capability Brown’s Garden and background as the landscape beyond the garden - motivated from the composing technique of Romanticism landscape painting. The deep frames enhance the feel of perspective and they are extended as structural elements to sustain entire structure. Internally, the row of glulam frames creates enfilade that gradually reveals the next space.

Architecture as a Gateway The gap between massive walls plays a role as the starting point of the pilgrimage leading visitors into the landscape and the view to the landscape bursts through the corridor.

Time is not a thing, thus nothing which is, and yet it remains constant in its passing away without being something temporal like the beings in time.

- Martin Heidegger

A gentle hill its side inclines, Lovely in England’s fadeless green, To meet the quiet stream which winds Through this romantic scene As silently and sweetly still, As when, at evening, on that hill, While summer’s wind blew soft and low, Seated by gallant Hotspur’s side, His Katharine was a happy bride, A thousand years ago.

Renovation / Extension of Tyne Theatre & Opera House The aim of the project is to investigate a new social role of contemporary theatre creating a vertical botanic garden at the extension part introducing timber frame structure which imitates existing structure of the theatre and represents the Victorian stage machinery under the stage. In addition, this timber frame and dynamic movement of the facade represents the wooden stage machinery and celebrates the historic priceless fabric. The colourful render finished boxes suspended on the timber frame and climbing plants filling the void create a fantasy scenery in the urban area.

The Destination of the Flow Terminating at the vicinity of the project site, the pedestrian route flows with greenery along the Town Wall providing a wide open space in the urban area. The initial design emerged from the idea of extending this flow to Tyne Theatre creating a large void at the extension of it.

Celebration of the Victorian Facade and the Stage Machinery Retention of the working Victorian wooden stage machinery is one of the most paramount scheme of the project.

Not simply preserving this highly valued historic fabric, the machinery is revealed as a part of the exhibition to be experienced and enjoyed by the people. Hence, the reinterpretation of the machinery system is revealed as the kinetic movement of the facade of extension structure.

Multi-functional theatre To fulfil increasingly diversified programmatic demand of contemporary society, the proposal shows a range of aspects in terms of its use.

Each colourful rendered box floating in the vertical garden performs different functions as time progresses. The lifting outdoor stage and street furniture create an ever-changing scene of theatre in the urban area. The new Tyne Theatre is not only a traditional but a stage where the audiences are also players.

Existing / Proposed programme The graphs indicate the number of visitors at each programme over time. Apart from the existing graph which has few chance of using the infrastructure, the graph for the new proposal shows various and continuous activity during the whole day.

23

The theatre is a spiritual and social X-ray of its time.

THE COMMUNITY WITH CREATIVE DYNAMISM

Autumn 2015 - Spring 2016 / Academic /Individual Work / Northumbria University / Module Tutor : Kyung Wook Seo, Will Campbell

26

Regeneration of the Community in Ouseburn Valley As a cradle of industrial revolution in Newcastle in the past, Ouseburn is now earmarked as area’s creative quarter. The aim of the project is about generating proposals for the regeneration of Ouseburn Valley, producing a new master plan for a section of the valley and developing specific two public buildings - a local brewery and a public venue / workshop.

History and Land Use 19-23 Lime St - Formerly MOT centre built as part of the first new build scheme.

Derelict storages

47-49 Lime Street - Former Canvas Works operated between 1874 and 1915 producing sailcloth.

Ouseburn Slipway - Formerly used by barges to unload their cargo onto waiting horse-drawn wagons.

7-17 Lime St - Formerly cafe and Euromart, curretly unoccupied

26 Lime St. - Former garage in late 19c, currently unoccupied

1-5 Lime St - Former coal depot with offices and residential rooms

Clubhouse - Currently occupied by Newcastle Motor Boat Society since 1920s.

Public Footpath It runs along the eastern bank of the Ouseburn providing for both pedestrians and cyclists.

River Ouseburn - The largest and longest streams in Newcastle providing a transport route to the industrial development of the area during the 18th and 19th centuries.

Ouseburn Valley By the mid-twentieth century the Valley became increasingly disused and had fallen into disrepair and dereliction. Peppered with reminders of its industrial heritage some of the buildings from this era began to be increasingly utilised from the 1970’s onwards as creative spaces for artists,and craftsmen.

The Ouseburn Trust currently occupies the role of both landlord and developer for the Valley and continually seeks to actively involve the wider community in the heritage and regeneration of the area with the concepts of Live/Work/Learn/Play for the vision of the area.

Topography

Image of the Ouseburn Valley Based on the urban theory by Kevin Lynch, the area is simplified and categorised into five different elements. The main concept of the masterplan is to improve the image-ability of the area extending the discontinuous “edge� - continuing facades of the buildings completing the main street. In addition, integrating the existing street, bank, and river, the proposal provides cascading open space to the community

Building 1. Canvas Work

Ever-changing Frame Space The project, preserving the existing facade of canvas works, is based on the concept of completing the street emphasising the strong axis of the Lime street accomplished by installing the frame structure to street ward. The frame structure is not only the identifying device as a facade, but also functions as a structural element, and community gathering space being able to create diverse programmes.

The main concept is to create three different layers on the plan along to programme, and make urban context penetrates the each layer.

For interior, a loop circulation for the brewery tour is suggested. The visitors can choose where to go in the lobby and the tour starts from the sun room on the 1st floor. After the gallery, visitors can go down to the brewing space and experience the manufacturing process. The tour ends at the retail shop and visitors can enjoy local beer at the tasting area.

Creating a space to connect

the students and the local community

In order to celebrate the 30 year anniversary of FAS, architecture society of Konkuk University, the members of the society had aspirations to produce a refurbishing and extending plan for the atelier which will be also used as part of an exhibition space which connects the students and the local community.

The new proposal should be able to accommodate enough spaces for the member of the society to work on their projects as well as display their works for other students and the neighbourhood. All the process was solely managed and fund by students ourselves. The whole process took 5 months - The planning and design had been done for 3 months during the semester, and the construction was carried out during summer break.

V. Windshield Bike Rack

Environmentally friendly reuse bike rack project This project reuses a part of the automobile in the design of an artefact for a more environmentally friendly alternative urban mobility system, a bike rack. Massive quantities of windshields are manufactured right before a car model goes out of production to secure enough stock for maintenance. The price of these windshields is frozen at the time of its last production and slowly goes down as demand diminishes. Windshields from Hyundai Sonata II, a model that has been discontinued in 2000, was reused for the roof of the bike rack. 25.4mm diameter steel pipes are CNC-bent in a Euler path arrangement to suspend three windshields for each bike rack.
