RETHINKING THE SHARED SPACES OF A HOUSING ESTATE THROUGH THE SENSE OF HOME MArch
520 [Group project]
Academic year: MArch Year 5 (2021)
Supervisor: Johanna Muszbek, Pietro Pezzani
Group member: Yao Li, Eirini Kafa, Laura Roberts, Jane Georgi
Project Grade: 1st class (70)
Project Site: Andover Estate, London, U.K.
Key Words: Housing design research methodology, shared space, new survey tools, sense of home
Chapter One: Hypothesis
The introduction of new survey tools alongside traditional methods that record the unconventional qualities of what makes a home can provide a more holistic approach to the retrofitting of existing buildings.
A downward trend regarding the ownership and use of private cars in London was observed, mostly because of the congestion and ultra-low emission charge zones, car renting facilities and the public transport alternatives (Mayor of London 2015, 11). As a result, garages are abandoned, a phenomenon observed especially in housing estates.
Housing estates in London therefore provide a great opportunity for investigation regarding how inactive spaces could be retrofitted and reused. Our study focuses on the Borough of Islington which is amongst the cities with the most council owned housing estates and the lowest level of car ownership (Transport for London 2013, 11). More particularly, Andover Estate was selected since it has the most available garages within the borough and a very interesting calibration of shared spaces.
Andover Estate gained a poor reputation in the mid-80s as the local press was frequently highlighting the several muggings, attacks and sexual assaults that took place there. This publicity resulted in the creation of a stigma, something that most estates have; they are viewed as ‘problem places’, home to ‘problem people’, while that might not be necessarily the case (Dean and Hastings 2000, 7). Today, such notoriety blights the residents’ lives and relationships, affects their social opportunities and magnifies the estate’s material difficulties (Hastings 2004, 233). Our research wants to investigate whether this stigma surrounding housing estates can be shaken off through regeneration initiatives, based on the idea that the Sense of Home can be extended throughout the whole estate and not only behind closed doors. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the estate’s existing conditions, new unconventional survey tools (films and scores) will be introduced to record qualities of home in the shared spaces of Andover. By recognizing what qualities are missing and how the building’s typology affects the sense of home, we could possibly then have a more holistic view of how the abandoned garages or any inactive shared space, could be retrofitted.
Chapter Two: Context

BLOCK TYPE TYPOLOGY
The garage appeared in many estates across London when they were built. This was significant as it marked a difference in how the car was viewed. It had now now been taken into homes, passing into the realms of the domestic sheltered and protected.
Homes grow around the plinths and the garages form a major part of the streetscape of Andover Estate.

Through various movements and the
exploration of the senses, more information can be gathered in future investigations, acknowledging the space in depth and surely influencing the way it is treated.
The workshop operated through scores, whose goal was to instruct and choreograph people’s movement within a selected space to encourage them to observe things that they wouldn’t have notice otherwise.
We were encouraged to experiment and write our own scores that would influence our study on Andover Estate. Through the initial scores, done in an inactive space in Liverpool, we were able to define parameters and tools of what should be documented in a visit in Andover Estate. The data and information gathered from the scores we are also re-used through additional tools of experimentations.
The original scores achieved to look an unused space through the lense of usage, a contrast that allowed us to collect information regarding the relationship of the body and the space. Scale, thresholds, physical and perceived boundaries, shadow/light, sound and observation were the main categories of investigation.
The scores however, depended upon solely on the idea that open-ended instructions would allow uncertainties to occur and therefore get more information. While a lot of material was collect, it was too general and it was lacking definition and rigor.
These scores were then studied and modified to match our investigation’s goal; to find unconventional elements and qualities of sense of home.

Special attention will be paid to areas of contested privacy, including circulation spaces, garages, and open areas. Film could be used as tool to document scores that will be carried out there. This well help to show how people perceive the space and demonstrate what they can interpret from the space by using their bodies. The filmic essay will focus on the potential of the semi public/private spaces around the Andover estate, as well as areas that are currently occupied by cars.

MArch 521 Dissertation [individual project] Abstract
China has presented an incredible development speed in urbanisation over the last 30 years. Despite the overall success of the progress, the unbalance and stagnancy of rural area development has shown to be inevitable as resources input here tends to be very limited until recent years. Especially in rural northwest China, this situation of less development is very commonly recognised and concerned. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBSC) (2020) has shown that the number of rural families with an annual income lower than RMB 10,000 (≈ 1100 pounds) is still highly significant in the northwest regions. Most of the rural familiars’ current living environment still stay at a level of around 40 years ago. Consequently, problems such as low cultural identity, unsustainability, low living quality, high volume of waste, and pollution become broadly visible. Therefore, this dissertation explores possible suggestions for future housing design in rural northwest China. The following three topics, architectural and cultural characteristics, sustainability, and affordability are this dissertation’s primary focuses. As the author, I had my chance to participate in a rural housing regeneration project in Jiuquan, a typical north-western developing city in Gansu Province, China. Hence, believe it could be a reliable sample site to conduct this research since I learned some experience and knowledge during the project that would be worth sharing and discussing.
Acknowledgements
Sincerely, I would first thank my supervisor, Dr Jiangtao Du, for his informative support and encouragement. Secondly, I want to thank the local government consultants of Jiuquan Gansu, who helped me find the archives and local rural development data. Thirdly, give my best regards to my wife, Joyce, for her taking care and support the whole time.

Introduction
A city is a performance, an experience of images, A city is not a physical structure; it comes into existence through people’s views and their understandings. The main goal of the project is to rejuvenate the existing ‘performance’ of Budapest, by identifying and enhancing a challenging area. In order to do so, a new space will be created in contemplation of creating a new threshold to the city, articulating public and private.

The new design of the ‘bridge’ celebrates the concept of performance including a huge Box Thrust Theater that can be seen from the street. To support the heavy load of the theater, a method of supporting and hanging was used. 2: THE NEW PROPOSED BRIDGING STRUCTURE IN THE FRONT PART OF THE PROJECT
The project is divided into different sectors. Basically, four types of housing units and two public areas would be introduced.
To make more available space, the old pitched roof would need to be modified by tearing it down firstly, and then recycle the timber structure to apply on the new one.
The initial driving point is to reactivating the unused roof space of the old hospital as new collective housing project, bringing more affordable and sustainable living space to the city.

MArch 403 is an upgraded version of MArch 402. The master plan, structure and material strategy have been revised in respect of a more sustainable and considerate development goal. Timber framing and cross laminated timber were selected to be the main structure components due to their lightweight, sustainable and low embodied-carbon features. To provide the residents in the community a more comfortable and ecofriendly living environment, the circulation space and some public spaces were redesigned to be within a semi-open greenhouse space. Co-housing and collective living concept were also introduced in order to answer the existing demand of more affordable and economical living options in the city centre of Budapest. This project also attempted to find a feasible and adaptable design methodology of reclaiming the roof-top spaces of historical buildings in the city for other functions and purposes.

Key Words: Sustainable and affordable housing, roof-top space redefining
Introduction
By identifying and analysing the urban problems and potential future development opportunities discovered in the research site (Rakoczi Street) in MArch 401, this project embarked on finding possible design solutions and strategies of how to reactivate the unused space in a historical building without interrupting its existing functionality and circulation. A new affordable housing community on the roof-top of the Szant Rakoczi Hospital and is introduced in this project. The site was selected due to its historical status, crucial positioning in the street, a massive unused roof top space and on-site demands of more public and residential spaces.

THE PERSPECTIVE OF PERFORMANCE MArch 401 [Group project]
Academic year: MArch Year 4 (2020)
Supervisor: Johanna Muszbek, Pietro Pezzani

Project Grade: Upper 2nd class (68)
Project Site: Rakoczi Street, Budapest, Hungary.
Key Words: Urban design experiment, research-based design, tool kit
Introduction
A city is a performance, an experience of images. A city is not a physical structure; it comes into existence through people’s views and understandings. Each spectator experiences the city differently depending on the sequence of spaces he goes through. Our proposal offers a tool kit of how this ‘performance’ can be altered through different perspectives. In order to demonstrate the idea of a city’s modification through different viewpoints we selected a busy street in Budapest that is often overlooked in contemplation of giving it a new identity. Our objectives are the reconfiguration of the current relationship of spectator and spectacle in that area and to create new scenes in the existing urban fabric. In this way an urban regeneration will be created by unveiling the hidden facets of urban life. This will be introduced with the idea of ‘anamorphosis’ where a distorted projection requires the spectator to occupy a specific standpoint to identify an image. In order to pinpoint those views, we used the radius of 80 and 50 meters, the distances where you can distinguish events and character of activity respectively. The intersection of those radiuses indicated the buildings that would be more beneficial to alter. By creating a new sequence of images and a new urban setting we aspire to draw people’s attention and therefore enriching the area with new activities.

The overlaps of the rings reveal the stretch of architecture which should be developed in relationship to the sidewalk. Zone B and Zone D were selected to experiment with the ‘disruption’ of existing spectacle and spectator relationship.

By making the private into public through the modification of the buildings their performative qualities were enhanced.The journey along the street features two ‘real views’ of the applied geometry from the public walkways opposite.
Alterations of these buildings include opposing geometry to the last example, applying extrusion instead of inversion. In this case the proposition acted upon a tenement house, creating the inclusion of private balconies and façade extensions. The real view can be seen in Illustration 7.

Introduction
The Alder Hey Bereavement Care Centre is an extension project of Alder Hey Hospital. It is unique within the NHS and provides bereavement counselling for families who have lost a child as well as a national telephone helpline and general counselling for Trust staff. The new building will for the first time offer the opportunity to provide purpose designed dedicated internal and external spaces to meet the needs of this highly specialised and sensitive service. The focus will be a welcoming multi use open space but will include private counselling rooms and office support space for Alder Centre staff. The external timber pavilion is an important feature of the design in creating a sense of relaxing, opening to sunshine, being sheltered. The relationship with adjacent buildings and outlook is critical to the success of this space and the building overall.

Key Words: Music school, education, Interior design and furnashing
Introduction
The client was wishing music elements can be involved into the interior style to attract more students and offer them a more comfortable and interesting studying space and environment. My main idea was trying to visualize the concept of music, instrument and score through an architectural design approach, for example by making the main corridor an unique feature of a “piano key” path. The design tried to meet the various functional and professional acoustic control requirements of the music school and taking large account of the various specifications and indicators of acoustics and school design asked by the clients.
My Contribution To The Project
This is my own design project that I took full responbility of producing all the drawings including concept analysis, technical drawings, lighting design, wall, floor ceiling furnishing and furnature design and recommondation. also took apart in its construction by providing on-site consultation and material suggestion. earned my first independent design fee by conducting this interior design project myself after I finish my practice in design firms and BA education.
