Havering sixth form college

Design brief

For my project, I have started looking into the havering sixth form college, and the block I want to change is the ministers block, the reason for this is because the building itself has no highlights for the art and design its assigned to, I want to change that, I will start by knocking down the building, when I do so want to add more rooms and designated rooms for example a studio filled with the things needed for different subject, a storage room for art or architecture or even graphic design, there is many different things the block needs improvement on. A more dynamic building that shows its assigned subjects

Specification

- 7-8 classrooms - disability access

- a bathroom (girl/boy) - storage rooms (for materials)

- small pavilion at front - art gallery

- a studio - study room

- elevator - teachers resting area

Research

History:

• HaveringSixth Form College, abbreviated as HSFC, is a sixth form college in Wingletye Lane, Hornchurch in the London Borough of Havering, East London. Built on the site of Dury Falls Secondary School,, HaveringSixth Form College is located on a single site in the London Borough ofHavering, an economically prosperous borough with low unemployment. It is located between Hornchurch and Upminstersomefive miles inside the M25 ring road. There are now 2,054 students. Built on thesite of Dury Falls Secondary School, it opened in September 1991, and educates full-time students from the ages of 16 to 19.

LOCATION

Park Shops

Eat/cafe

Church

Public transport

School Entertainment

Many Google maps aren’t up to date but I explored some of the area to confidently highlightnew buildings

Large areas are left out as they are housing neighbour hoods

The project location is based around the area of Hornchurch, it’s a small town with quiet a nice layout of many things, a few schools, churches, parks, entertainmentand cafes. What I found out during looking into it was the fact that a lot of the buildings seem to focus on an old-style theme or even saving out the older region. Therefor my idea is to base it around these things, yet I want to make it look different, it’s a difficult task to achieve but it's something that could aim high, the area is a large enough for something new but smaller for something grandiose. Therefor I started looking into shapes and layouts of the surrounding building for example the train station, it bases around having sharp and stable corners.

The areas layoutis mainly spread around the main points, one the town the most packed, two the neighbour hoods, three the church, four the schools and then come the parks, all of their styles are themed around older styling of the buildings.

THE AREA

The site of the buildingI'm considering redesigning in based around plain colours that dot pop out, the ministers block is surrounded by older constructed buildingsof the college sight, whereas behind the ministers block the tennis court which is mainly used by the sports students or the college students who enjoy playingthere, I was keep in mind the redesign shouldn’t give big impacts on the surroundings, it's importantto keep in mind the surrounding area as the redesign can give bad impact on the surroundings.

The space

The block itself has a large open area, the space in front and behind is used either as a seating area or just open space, this can allow me to add an extension with either a material room or a gallery. As for the front I want to use the space wisely therefor the front will most likely change only for a better-qualityseats ether like a front terrasse or a more comfortable and easily accessible space for students at the college.

The materials used in this instanceis a yellowkind of brick with black windows, its matched with the main block to blend in, like I said I want to keep it natural and not stand out too much, the colours themselves seem to link towards neutral and simple, that’s what ill go towards but ill be aiming to add clearanceto it that it’s a art relate subject building. Ill want to look into the way the design can be experimented with and played with, I want to add or maybe remove areas and replace them, the whole buildingcan be used as a blocks and place them and remix them.

What I come to realise with the buildingis that it seems really cramped and the space usage isn't so great

inspiration

The main inspiration of the exterior of the project would be the new redesign of the harrow lodge leisure center, the old block that was originallylocated where the car park it was moved over and given better space and conditions,the front area was also redesign giving availableseating area and aesthetic, the good size and shape allowed the project to work with better interior design, which is one of my biggest goals.

analysis

• This project comprised the design and construction of a new leisure center in Harrow Lodge Park, in the London borough of Havering, the third leisure center with Everyone Active. The proposed site is adjacent to the original leisure center which was built in 1956 and will remain operational whilst the new center is constructed. The programmed for this project took around 114 weeks, which also included the demonization of the original buildingand included the new car park construction.

Ravensbourne university interior

• It was design is to encourage collaboration between the different disciplines and practices within Ravensbourne, and to stimulate the work of creative professionals.

• Featuring a variety of workspaces, including social and quiet areas, high-tech creative suites, technology hubs, design studios and more, it has:

• The enormous atrium connecting the university to the outside world provides air-flow to the rest of the building.

• Each studio space comes with a double row of circular windows that provides ample daylight and offsets the need for artificial lighting.

• And the building is cooled by a chilled beam system that efficiently heats and cools the building by channeling energy through the floor.

Why I got aspired by this?

• the universities interior focuses on both space and design, the good point to that is the fact that the university planned a good amount of space for a large sum of students, this helps with better conditions and less cramping.

• Classrooms have good designs and working space which I want to achieve in myproject, this will allow students and teachers to have more focus and space to do their work and achieve greater focus.

Elevation

The whole building consists of geometric shapes, there is texture and pattern to it, when sketching the building, I cameto realisehowlargeor a scalethe insideis, the ceilings aretall and spacious

LouiseBourgeois

• In 1947 Louise Bourgeoisdrew two small ink and charcoal drawings of a spider. Fifty years later in the late 1990s, she created a series of steel and bronze spider sculptures.

• She explored a variety of themes over the course of her long career including domesticity and the family, sexuality and the body, as well as death and the unconscious. These themes connect to events from her childhood which she considered to be a therapeutic process. Although Bourgeois exhibited with the Abstract Expressionistsand her work has much in common with Surrealism and Feminist art, she was not formally affiliated with a particular artistic movement.

Experimenting sketches

Model

My initial idea with the model was to create a buildingwith a lot of details, which would link towards the project of the Ravensbourne university style, I looked into some type of object which would have that and did a few sketches.

Model

When producing a new model, I took a generalidea from my second model, yet when I started producing it, I started thinking of organic shapes such as a coffee beans and leaves that give off

Experimenting

Forms

All types of forms have a texture, all the way from plants to animals and even a plain surface, when I was making models, I came to realise I want my inspiration to come from movement, make a building come to life almost like

Therefor I took sketches of small zoomed in areas of insects and plants, to further explore this technique

Then I proceeded to actuallytake primary photos and evolve

Restoration lab and French cultural center

The architectural bureau known for its work on Garage contemporary art museum, will restore a famous modernist building in Uzbek capital.

GRACE studio is set to reconstruct an important cultural center in Tashkent. This renovation project, scheduled for completion by the end of 2023, will encompass a French cultural center and an international art restoration department as well as providing new leisure areas for the public. The restoration is being backed by the Uzbekistan’s Art and Culture Development Foundation.

“The uniqueness of the project lies in the scale of the reconstruction, which is unusual for Central Asia. We hope that the project will set a new trend in the architectural development of the region as a whole, and will allow us to take the first step in introducing a competent and modern approach to the preservation of our heritage. In housing the country’s very first center for the restoration of cultural objects, this building will help revive the restorative traditions lost over the past 20 years, which at one time were among the strongest in the region,” said Gayane Umerova, executive director of the Foundation.

The original structure, built in 1986, is considered a shining example of Tashkent modernism. On being completed, the restoration will return the building to its original spatial composition, which, alongside the restoration laboratories and public areas, will accommodate a modern configurable hall auditorium for theatrical performances, concerts and film screenings.

Interior

“The center’s public spaces will be characterized by complexly organized visual connections, through which they communicate with one another. During the reconstruction, we will expand on the original site, opening access to the courtyard, lobby, and roof, while dismantling the walls erected in the early 2000s to help recreate a transparent and open architecture,” remarked Ekaterina Golovatyuk, cofounder of the studio GRACE.

GRACE traditionally works with themes of preservation and architectural heritage. This approach is exemplified in one of Ekaterina Golovatyuk's standout projects the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow, which she worked on as a member of the OMA bureau of Rem Koolhaas. This innovative project involved the reconstruction and conversion of the Vremena Goda restaurant – an example of post-war modernism – into a modern museum space.

Beijing Muee Restaurant

The restaurant is located in Hepingli, Dongcheng District in Beijing, a compound mixed with offices and old residential areas beside the Second Ring road. The original space is an idle warehouse, the first storey is multi-column, while the second has a higher ceiling, the north and south sides of the room has a dense piece of wall and large windows, the south side of the building has an aged pagoda tree. The hotpot is a clay casserole. The friend described the prototype of the restaurant in his mind like this: "It is a plain cavernous space; diners enjoy the food that has been boiled by the simplest way and feel the original flavour of the ingredients." Under such a unique proposition, we expected to find a way to return to the origin of spatial feeling, and focus on the connections between food, utensils and customs' experience in a characteristic environment.

In our journey in North Africa in the early years, we visited the white and khakis houses of people living in the oases north of the Sahara. The edges are rounded and straightforward, arched and curved surfaces emphasise a rustic and cavernous atmosphere in the constructions. As human beings originally lived, caves formed the most primitive space experience in human memory. We desired to bring this initial physical experience into this restaurant's design to visualise the "plain cavernous space".

Journey

In our journey in North Africa in the early years, we visited the white and khakis houses of people living in the oases north of the Sahara. The edges are rounded and straightforward, arched and curved surfaces emphasise a rustic and cavernous atmosphere in the constructions. As human beings originally lived, caves formed the most primitive space experience in human memory. We desired to bring this initial physical experience into this restaurant's design to visualise the "plain cavernous space". The spatial operation is also the journey of seeking the "cave", because of the dense blade walls on the south and north side of the space, decision to delve into space in between. As the primary language on the ground floor, the continuous barrel vault extended from inside to outside that formed the curved facade at the front door. Due to the higher storey height on the first floor, the vault's unidirectionality is generated to a system of superimposed domes that are evolved from the internalised grid of the spaced and result in the cavernous space. Moreover, "skylight" is used as an element to enhance the cavernous spatial experience.

The thought of a circular motion

Developing

Combining

Soon enough, I started lookingat something that flows with my theme, combining my original models, from curves to some materials, flowing with bugs is something I started to look into

Idea of movement

Flow up Flow down

What was importantwas understanding how flow work with bugs, and after the model i needed to make it at least accurate and presentable, meaning when I do my final model it’s importantto have accuracy

Exploring the flapping of the wings was initial presented with their gentle and fast flaps, with one flap they could fly just a millisecond,therefor they use their light and fragile wings to use the motion really fast.

Idea of replacing the top with something more attractiveand artistic, linking to the fact the block is mainly arts. Therefor making a shape that’s made from firefly or butterfly wings
