SURROUNDING CONTEXT

The region of Elephant and Castle serves as a tranportation hub within the Southwark borough. In early age, Elephant and Castle was famous with young professionals and artists due to the proximity to the city centre and low living cost. Today, the area is suffer ingwith social issues, such as unemploment and high crime rate, cause by under development. Terrance house as the dominant housing typology is one of the main reason risisted the tide of gentrification.
URBAN INTERVENTION: SYNAPSE 2
The local region in relation to the site is divided in two by a railway. The eastern part of site lies on the Walworth road which houses many retails, restaurants and hotel. On the western part of site contain the Manor Place Bath and the Pasley Estate.
The Manor Place is well-knowed with its Victorian public bath which was designed and built by Mr E B I’Anson in 1898, severed as a public bath and laundry for the locals. The building also included two swimming pools for each gender and re-purpoesed as event space in winter. The bath remain popular within the neighbourhood until the introduce of in-house bathrooms. Later, the openning of the Ellephant and Castle leisure center with modern swimming facilities put an end to the bath. Today, the bath is occupied by a Buddhist organizations. The sense of vatality and communal has disappered.
SITE RESEARCH
Anaylsis of surroundings and sun light
1. The site lies on the left of the Walworth Road. As the main road of the area connecting north and south, the Walworth road is extremely busy with trafic. Alternatively, it has the most vistiors flowrate which is suitable for the main entrance to access the site.
3. There main noise source to the site comes from the main road and the railway cut through the site. Therefore, the east side of the site is not suitablef for residential accomodation. While the west side may also need extra noise barrier such as greenings.
OVERALL SHADOW CASTING ON SITE
The diagram to the right displays the sum solar movement and variability throughout the days of the year and the total shadow cast upon different areas of the site. This may be an important consideration in the determination of areas of daylight autonomym ideally for the living quarters which the site should accomodate for, also for any green spaces that the site should have to allow any plants ample sunlight to photosynthesise.

2. The site sit between several parks. However, as an ‘Urban Living Room’ for recreation purpose, the site will need extra greening landscape to provide a natural environment.
To the right I have conducted a radiation analysis for the local block of the site. This diagram displays areas with the highest solar radiation exposure (measured in KW per M2.. The readings are taken from an average of the year round exposure to the sun and were conducted once again utilising the Diva plugin for Rhino.

SYNAPSE: CONNECTION AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT URBAN INTERVENTION: SYNAPSE5
Sectional Drawing
The concept is inspired by synapse. In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target effector cell. Upon entering the site, a person can be forseen as a cell to interact with others with no limitation in time and space. In a bigger picture, the site connect the Elephant & Castle area with other part of London, as a synapse.
The space features a gradual slope from one end to another, providing disability access to the excavate level. Over the excation, solid ground is replaced with foot bridges to connect the whole site at ground level. Which also project boundary of space for the excavate level with form and shadow.

The footbridge is the main connection of the site at ground level. Allow residents to overlook the space and events happening at the excavation level.
MAIN ENTRANCE
The shape of the main entrance respected the shape of the railway arch within the site as a continue of space. The entrance connects to the both the bridge level and excavate level, also include retail space on top of the tunnels.
FOOTBRIDGE
EXCAVATION SPACE The excavation level provide spaces for shops, workshops and restaurants. Also, include an entrance to the apartment, allow residents to enter the excavate level directly. WEST EXIT The exit to the west can be acces via staircase and ramp as a disability friendly facility. The west exit connect to the renovated Bathroom and the garden area as a continue of recreational experience. URBAN INTERVENTION: SYNAPSE7
27m 48m FORM OF SPACE Entrance and retail This concept was partly derivative from some of the geometries in proximity to the site, namely the artwork elephant, a box-park like structure created through arraying a series of storage containers atop of a platform. Each of these containers serves as a creative space, retail unit or social hub. I also noticed that there was a housing estate opposite which featured a number of different dormers jutting out at different points in the facade. I have appropriated this in the design of this concept which is located in an office space above the retail block on Walworth road. Each shipping container could encapsulate a pop up store run by local creatives and entrepreneurs. The containers could be staggered to create space for people to walk on top of these platforms as well as a interesting pixelation effect to the facade of the building. The building could serve as a marketplace for ideas and people. The structure iteslf is seated within the shelled interior of the old office building. A grid of supporting beams could possibly run alongside the containers to provide structural support for the cantilevering containers. services such as lifts, fire escapes and staircases could be located to the rear of the building (east relative to the site) with a marketspace in the intermediate space between the front and the rear of the URBANstructure.INTERVENTION: SYNAPSE 8

Circulation
The design of the accomodation is using corridor as third space as concept, encouraging social interactions and foster connectivity and creativity. The building features a multi-functional ramp running through each floors, scrolling around the building. The external section of ramp locate at second and third floor, featuring roof top garden for socializing and leisure activities such as yoga. The interior sections connect common spaces on each floor and using as a circulation for accessing accommodation rooms. People walkin to the community and continuesly interating with it, going home does not equal to disconnection.

10Aproposal of sustainable and healthy life style. This project aim at seeking a solution for famers who are facing metal heath issues, including loneliness and stress, brought by the critical working condition. The idea is to design an urban farming facility at the Greenwich peninsula, which is planned to be the next center of London. The farm will create a natural enviornment for visitor to relax and spend time with family or friends, forgetting the busy works and taking a mental relieve session. The farm will run by experienced farmer, producing organic food and providing farming tutorials to publics. This provide a chance for them to reconnect to the society. Public engagement would potencially reduce their working amount in a long term bases and acheiving “Consumer as the Producer” in the future. The urban farm will demostray a new life style, organic and sustainable. HARVESTING02 HEALTH HARVESTING HEALTH
Greenwich Peninsula is the latest project from Knight Drag-on. Their previous London project, The Knightsbridge, was named Residential Development of the Year at the 2006 Property Awards, and this new project follows the same lifestyle-led approach. Research from Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) forecasts that property values and rental growth in this new district will outperform the Central London average over the next five years, making Greenwich Peninsula a hot ticket for local and oversea property buyers.
Greenwich Peninsula has also been designed with the needs of families in mind, featuring two new schools, a public park and 48 acres of green space. Peninsula Central is the district’s buzzing retail and entertainment precinct, while the neighboring O2 Arena brings the world’s biggest performers to your neighborhood. The Ravensbourne University London next door as one of the best universtiy for media and broadcasting has tight conversation with the O2. Which built the basis for a Creative industry hub and attract companies to set their base at the Greenwich Peninsula.
