The Dartington Estate is recognized for its progressive approach to education, focusing on holistic development, creativity, and social responsibility. Research highlighted how traditional systems often limit access to necessary resources for youth well-being. Drawing on Ray Oldenburg’s “Third Place” theory, this project envisions creating spaces that support mental health for young adults (18-25). It designs a journey from “first place” to “third place,” with four distinct spaces tailored to the site’s context, aiming to reduce inequalities in access to mental health resources through supportive infrastructure. 2nd Place

LEGEND

Demolish Proposed Existing

The First Place is the repurposed Foxhole School, a Grade II listed building transformed into student accommodation with 90 rooms. The design balances privacy and community, allowing students to choose between solitude in their rooms or socializing in communal areas. Some non-load-bearing walls will be removed to create ensuite rooms. Large windows provide views of the surrounding nature, enhancing a calming environment. A proposed ground-floor verandah facing the courtyard fosters interaction between residents inside and those in the outdoor space.

This module applied forensic architecture methods, including research, site mapping, 3D modeling, and simulation, to analyze the Itaewon crowd crush incident. Itaewon, known for its vibrant nightlife and as a hub for the queer community, experienced the tragedy during its first unrestricted Halloween celebration since the pandemic. The crowd crush, caused by people pushing in a confined space, led to a “domino effect.” One proposed solution is to design walkways connecting rooftops, offering alternative routes to give users more control over their movement.

In response to the project “a moment of reflection” and serene nature of the pontoon near Isis Lock, I designed floating lily pads on the river to serve as individual spaces for solitude. These lily pads provide a personal retreat within the natural environment, allowing users to enjoy quiet moments on the water while remaining connected to the surrounding urban and public spaces. The design emphasizes the balance between solitude and subtle urban interaction, creating a tranquil, floating sanctuary for those seeking time alone.
