The project aims to reconcile & resurface the two competing site identities of Gateshead Riverside Park, Industrial Heritage & The Arts, through Waste Management. It will do so by working collaboratively with a fellow student to negotiate the various dualities through our approach and methodology towards a masterplan design. By adopting a notion of design leads, each representing one of the key site identities, we employed a method of ‘Selective Collaboration’. The tension between the two identities is a result of the council’s continued (and failed) approach towards placemaking through location branding and rigid vision planning. This was explored by the development of a Briefing Document & Zoned Masterplan with defined and speculative interventions - referred to as ‘Anchors’. These are to be conveyed through an initial idea developed by my partner and I, which is meant to be taken on, developed, reiterated and reimagined by the client-cum-users through various stakeholder engagement techniques.

Each design lead focussed on one intervention while simultaneously providing input on the other. They are grounded in a collective technological strategy which further drives the individual lines of inquiry. Our collaborative approach stemmed from advocating against the architect operating as the individual genius; imposing views and ideals onto end users. Instead, becoming conscientious designers looking to be inclusive and sympathetic to all.

Both Anchors aim to respond to Gateshead’s deprived communities, but do so by adopting different angles. My partner’s project looks at interpersonal development through improving community well-being; meanwhile, my project looks at intrapersonal development through improving local workforce employability with the intention of placemaking Gateshead as a prosperous location for its future communities.

As a result, the Anchors seek to utilise Gateshead’s social capital to promote a civic economy that is future-proofed; thereby ensuring the suitability of the development in their respective locations and the prosperity of the local communities.

Gateshead Community & Key Stakeholders

Recent developments suggest strong support by the local council for projects which encourage new-age industrial activity back into the area. The project responds to this desire by looking at how a more traditional ‘heavy’ industry can be reintroduced at an urban scale and in an environmentally sustainable manner. With this in mind, the project investigates how Dowel Laminated Timber (DLT) could operate on the chosen site to become a process for local societal change and a viable construction system in the UK. This is a realistic goal as DLT can rely solely on using home grown timber. Framing this with site specificity, the raw materials could be sourced locally from Kielder Forest.

Furthermore, DLT can function at a de-centralised urban scale, which meets the current shift in trend of how industry will operate in the future. Moreover, through its compatibility with technology, it promotes many iterations, moving towards postauthorship design where everyone learns and grows together. This makes DLT an ideal social equaliser as it blurs the line between professionals and amateurs.

The development provides the opportunity for the targeted group to be trained into the incoming DLT industry through practical experience. Here, the majority of the construction process and later design elements of the buildings will be undertaken by themselves, encouraging design autonomy and labour proficiency.

Status / Academic Project, Distinction

Stage / 5

Budget / N/A

Location / Newcastle, UK

Client / UK Arts & Culture Sector

High Friars Arcade restores the civic role of the arts by breaking down perceived socio-economic barriers through sensory connections to engage the wider community with the sector.

A forward thinking approach to performance means that the building is complementary to the existing city centre offer and showcases the future of theatre & performance. A revised approach towards the ‘Creative Process’ helped to define the new direction that traditional venues for Arts & Culture, such as theatres and exhibition spaces, should adopt. The journey through the building, as one moves upwards and through it, represents a further stage in the development of the Creative Process. In this way, the building becomes the physical embodiment of the Creative Process and gives the community a space to fully experience its development.

Performance will be integral to the building’s experience. Incorporating the notion of the ‘Theatre of the Everyday’; a continuous connection to performance was established as an integral aspect of the building. The journey through the spaces becomes an encompassing experience of the Arts & Culture Sector. The design of the building in section helps the senses to diffuse the activity occurring within it by temporarily inhabiting the arcade and street through sensory engagement.

Finally, the revised Creative Process model afforded various benefits and considerations that strengthened the project’s concept. There are dedicated moments where the works are presented as ‘in progress’ for feedback and workshopping. The aim is to establish a rapport between creator and consumer (artist and community) as arts & culture becomes a more prevalent aspect of common vernacular and everyday life. As a result, this breaks down the social notion that the creative arts are for the highly educated and upper classes. The public and wider community, as the potential consumers of the very creative outputs, feel valued and integral in the creative process.

Client / The Calvert Trust

Testing Ground is a student-led design team at Newcastle University’s School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape. The initiative has been running for over a decade and is unique in its conception at an academic level. Every year, a group of MArch Students take a design from initial concept, to construction and eventually hand-over to the client.

The Calvert Trust’s vision is to enable people with disabilities to benefit from outdoor activities in the countryside. The trust’s founder, John Fryer-Spedding, realised that a lack of accessible facilities restricted people with disabilities from truly enjoying the countryside and benefiting from outdoor activity. The client offers challenging, exciting and fun activities in the outdoor centre and a range of accommodation types to suit everyone. Ultimately, they have one essential goal – to promote integration and inclusivity to enrich the lives of all our guests and visitors.

Our design aims to expand the type of activity offered at the Calvert Trust Kielder.

With so many physically challenging and fast-paced activities available, we saw the opportunity to create a place for pause and contemplation that engages the senses.

This would provide the client with a breakout space for the guests; while also giving the staff the option to run new activities that focus on activating and engaging the senses. As a result, it is not an extension nor a reiteration of existing activities on site but, a complementary addition to the everyday experience and enjoyment of the activity centre in the natural setting of Kielder Forest. The scheme is a pavilion that uses dyed polycarbonate panels to create an ever-changing colourful canopy shelter in addition to a raised deck with integrated seating, wind chime sound wall and viewing platform. The development frames key views, whilst adopting materials that sit well within the forested landscape. The structure is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for people who are disabled in some way or not at all. Through thorough and considerate design development, we developed a scheme that encourages its use both day & night and throughout the year - irrespective of season or weather conditions.

Architecturally, the scheme had to be a contemporary approach towards market design while simultaneously fitting in with its surroundings - many of which are listed buildings. The steep topography was navigated by implementing a ‘plinth’ that wraps around the building made of local stone. Large expanses of glazing add a sense of lightness and transparency at lower levels; while anodised brises soleil help to camouflage the development into the street elevation and retain the privacy of neighbours. Finally, the building is finished by incorporating a traditional market roof profile which ‘acknowledges’ the customers as they walk towards the entrance.

The market has 40 indoor market stalls, a restaurant on the first floor and 40 outdoor temporary market stalls. One of the key project drivers is for the market to incorporate a sustainable operation strategy. The asymmetrical roof profile facilitated the optimum angle for photovoltaic panels to be installed on the roof. Meanwhile, natural ventilation is favoured over mechanical for the market hall and a rainwater collection tank supplements the mains supply. Furthermore, charging stations for electric vehicles were installed in the underground car park and a compactor room reduces the frequency of waste collection. +12.39 = 105.31*

One of the key obstacles that we had to navigate was the spatial layout of the building. The local authority had developed a specific and extensive brief to be arranged on a constricted site. A historic underground aqueduct ran diagonally across the urban block, restricting the maximum building line significantly.

“By its positioning, the market hall responds to the desire to create a strong architectural landmark that is respectfully integrated into the context. In addition, the ambition of the City of L’Haÿ-les-Roses was to restore the noble image of the traditional and emblematic market halls of the nineteenth-century industrial era inspired by Baltard. The architectural design was oriented in this spirit. Light, bright, transparent, generous, the space offers the feeling of well-being and conviviality.”

Location / Glasgow, UK

Client / Cultural Start-Ups & Corporate Entity

McAlpine Plaza is a revolutionary approach to a mixed-use development that provides a socially and environmentally conscious alternative to the existing model.

It culminated in the perfect intersection between the cultural and commercial worlds.

The design needed to consider how the clients would function effectively as singularities but also how they would interact and coexist within the same boundary.

By understanding the clients’ approach to their work and their ethos (and how these two could be interrelated) the spatial qualities and aesthetics began to emerge. The ability to house such a breadth of processes and activities in a logical and refined manner was one of the key successes of the project.

Having established my own personal brief to the project, the next step was to consider how people will use and interact with each other in the space. Two key approaches drove the rationale behind the design: adaptability and distillation.

Throughout its development, the variable upper volumes and the functionality of the cores were continuously questioned and subsequently redesigned. It is this ‘restless reinvention’ which inevitably became a theme in the final iteration. By providing a guide and set framework which distils all elements of design, structure and atmosphere to its essentials, the proposal was now able to provide a rational and convincing new approach towards the mixed-use leased-space inhabitation model.

The section best highlights the regularity of the steel frames that make the building form possible. The arrangement of the cores and the steel frame enables the commercial client to seemingly hover delicately and respectfully above the cultural space. This challenges the perception that corporate entities have a disregard for anyone else’s interests except their own. This presents the commercial client’s approach as being more inviting and considerate of the local community.

Project / Spaces of Astral Projection

Status / Academic Project, 2:1

Stage / 2

Budget / N/A

Location / Berwick-upon-Tweed, UK

Client / VR Start-Up & Local Community

Despite recent technological advances, driven in large part by more advanced and higher bandwidth data networks, videoconferencing as a means of communication is still somewhat hampered by a range of end-user difficulties. Local network connection speed, user unfamiliarity with an increasingly large range of software and a variety of hardware problems can all combine to make the experience frustrating.

But what if there was a way to change the experience of using programmes like these from a mere interaction between two people and a screen; to one that blurs the boundaries between the real and virtual world? I believe the way in which this can be achieved is through how people perceive and manipulate space.

My proposal focussed on how architecture can help to improve the experience through dedicated spaces that allow for varying degrees of virtual submersion. Both working remotely and maintaining long distance intimate and familial relationships are increasingly common. First-hand experience has given me the insight to understand the potential that can be unlocked by linking architecture and technology to revolutionise how people interact on a daily basis; bettering our lives by bringing us closer to each other.

The building will be a hub for this type of experience that will hopefully be the founding site of many locations like it. I retained the rear façade and the arches of the existing building while adding a modern extension to house three key spaces. The first, a larger scale exhibition space that further explores the capabilities of immersive technology through digital living artistic installations. This idea being ahead of its time as it predates the hugely popular Van Gogh immersive experiences. The second, a medium scale space for a virtual reality restaurant where people can have a long distance activity ‘together’. The third, dedicated smaller scale pod spaces for anyone to use individually or in small groups.
