The proposal aims to create a platform for individuals who share a common interest in healthy living, cooking, and cultivating, to exchange knowledge, skills, and experiences. It serves as a hub for people from various places to learn from one another and also operates as a food exchange program that distributes fresh produce and meals to local and wider communities.
The building’s design focuses on environmental sustainability, with the main entrance being through the ramp on the first floor, leading to an outdoor and indoor food market, a learning kitchen, and a production area that contributes to the urban food exchange. By extending the proposal into the surrounding area, the building becomes accessible from multiple points.
Moreover, to achieve an eco-friendly building, the main construction material, rammed earth, can be locally sourced, with parts of it obtained from nearby clay pits. Rammed earth has a low carbon footprint and embodied energy associated with its disposal, as well as a high thermal mass that absorbs heat during the day and releases it into the building at night. Overall, it is a material that reduces energy consumption during construction and usage, and can be easily returned to the ground when no longer needed.
Concept - A ‘floating building’

North of Glasgow city centre
The site is placed on the hill between the Garscube Road and the Forth and Clyde Canal wich slopes down from the canal to street level. Along the Garscube Road are mainly residental apartments, but with some stores on ground floor level under the residental part of the buildings. The surrounding apartment complexes are 4 storeys high. There is access to the site through the Garscube Road, from the canal by walking down the stairs and through the ramp which goes from the canal to Frihill Road which connects to the Firhill- and Garscube Road.
My proposal put in the site.

Roof:
Green roof with exposed CLT (panels) Celling on the interior. Connectet to the walls through Glulam beams which are implemented in the walls.Waterproofing, protective layer, drainage system, filtration layer, soil.
Wall:
Two layers of 255mm thick rammed earth with insulation inbetween. Reinforced with steel and it has a protective coat on the exterior facade. DPM, puddled earth.
Window:
Double glazed windows with aluminium framing. Waterproofing.
Floor:
The upper floors are of CLT panels and like the roof it’s connected to the walls through Glulam beams. The 1st floor have reinforced concrete, with glulam beams underneath connecting it to the exterior columns at the foundation. It has a timber finish on the interor of the floor.
Timeber - cardboard and sand layer. Concrete - DPM, vapour control layer.
The operational energy graph show’s that my proposal has a low electric energy demand as well as a low non-electric energy demand and in the total energy demand we can see that the operational energy overall is kept on the lower side of it.
The lifecycle embodied carbon is kept very low and would reach the 2030 goal. The Substructure have the most embodied carbon over its lifecycle. This could perhaps be improved more on, by using less concrete in some areas on the substructure.
In the whole life carbon graph, we can see that the CO2 emissions over 60 years would be kept relatively low. The operational energy does however increase over time and becomes more than double of the amount from year 30 to year 60.
As of now, my proposal doesn’t use much of the existing elements for the construction, this leads to high operational emissions.

This project takes place in Bo’ness, I were to alter/extend the Bo’ness library while taking climate change in consideration.
In my proposal I kept the historical buildings; the tavern and the tobacco warehouse where they in the past had stored tobacco from America. I re-moved the middle part which was implemented when the library got renovated in the 1980s.
I am reusing the structural design of the columns and beams. It extends upwards, and the sandstone mortar walls are reused on the ground floor walls.
I used timber for the new levels as well as the structure since it’s environmental friendly and can be sorced localy.
As inspiration for this project I used Skara Brae.

Before we started stage 2 we were asked to do a few things. One of them was to hone our observational skills by creating a drawing of a room. We were then asked to choose a different room which have been significant to us to observe and record. The room I observed and recorded.
The room which has been most significant to me during COVID, my boyfriends accomodation which were the place I was at the most during the first year of GSA since I couldn’t travel from Sweden to Glasgow.

For this project I was given an existing building in Glasgow. I were to research it, the site, the city and develop it into a place of learning.
Place of learning - Food and farming.

In this exercise I was going to make a cube in clay and then use the word ”calm” to carve away clay piece by piece until all that remain were a spatiality.

This is a model I built based on the theme ”cold and warm”. When making the model I only used parchment paper and barbecue sticks. The more narrow part represent warmth and the more open one is the cold area.
