REINVENT MARYLEBONE DISCOVER A GREEN COVERED MARKET IN CENTRAL LONDON Third Year, First Semester Academic Project Tutor: Bruce Irwin, Catherine Phillips Extolling the virtues of local farm products and a sense of community, the green covered market takes its place in the dynamic of urban life in Marylebone. This project is to design a covered market in Moxon Street, Marylebone, Central London. It investigates the potential communities, users and context of the existed market, in order to discover a new typology of a covered market in Central London. As the name suggested from “Reinvent Marylebone�, the project intends to make more connections between local markets and communities, to create a market roof with greenery public space and an educational garden for two schools of the site.
SITE
SITE LOCATION
HOUSE DENSITY
The site is located at Moxon Street, Marylebone, the heart of the City of Westminster.
The data shows the City of Westminster is the ‘under performing’ borough in terms of house density and carbon dioxide emission.
AVERAGE INCOME
TRANSPORT + CO2
People living in City of Westminster have significant higher average income than other London boroughs, most clients are able to afford high price land values in City of Westminster.
The diagram suggests that a green space is encouraged to be built in the site. A market with sustainable a green roof is a great opportunity to promote this concept.
Vegetables Meat / Milk Fish Products Bread / Cakes Hot / Ready Meals Flowers Farmer Products
Existed Stalls Oversupplied Stalls Undersupplied Stalls
EXISTED FARMERS’ MARKET
PROPOSED FARMERS’ MARKET
With an average of 40 stalls, Marylebone is one of the biggest farmers’ temporary market in London. Majority of products sold are edible farmers’ products: such as vegetables, etc.
The statistic result shows vegetables and fruits product have higher demand and much more opportunities for local people. Hence, the proposed market would sell vegetables and fruits.
VISION: THE HYDROPONIC TEACHING FARM An educational place teaching the ‘people of the future’, allowing local students to interact with advanced farming technique in Central London.
VISION: A COMMUNITY CENTER A market as a community to propagate happiness for local residents, where people could gather together and play together.

‘PLAY IS THE WORK OF THE CHILD’ THEATRE AS THE THIRD TEACHER Third Year, Second Semester Academic Project Tutor: Bruce Irwin, Catherine Phillips The project takes a philosophical and theoretical path in searching for an alternative classroom typology for children in Marylebone, Central London. It takes the essence of drama activities in researching for a theatre teaching space combined with Montessori’s teaching philosophy in The St Marylebone C.E School. The research into the educational theatre reveals the weakness of contemporary classroom typology, which draws sharp and unhelpful physical and psychological boundaries between spaces, play and learning. As Maria Montessori said, “play is the work of the child”. Hence, the proposal is to modify the traditional teaching typology, linking the knowledge with UK’s educational curriculum.
ARCHITECTURAL MOTIF
VERTICAL CIRCULATION
Auditorium is the highlight of the building, symbolizes the ‘vessel of art and knowledge’ inside the building. The performance space is the visible volume from outside.
The vertical circulation not only streamlined the proposal, but also made the audience feeling a sense of ‘going up’ to see the performance.
CORE PUBLIC SPACE PRIVATE SPACE
SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION
LANDSCAPE CONNECTION
The building core is located at the ‘blind spot’ of the building, while the private spaces are supporting the public space, in order to have a great performance to the public.
The ground floor and viewing platform has the clear views towards to the park. It brings urban context and garden landscape into the building.
AUDIENCES’ KEY JOURNEYS
SUPPORTING SPACES
Steel frame structure is the “skin” of the building, where the auditorium could be seen from street view.
The fly tower assists auditorium to have its performance inside.
A library storages drama scripts & music performance, encouraging constant recording of drama and children’s play.
The facade of the backstage has the same quality as the auditorium, where it also celebrate ‘play’ for children.
Auditorium occupies the largest area of the entire building.
The building core has the viewing platform, allows children to have spaces to play & study.
70 % IN AUDITORIUM
30 % FOR SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
The building structure allows the foyer space has an open view towards to urban context and garden landscape.

PROGRAMMATIC CROSS HYBRIDIZATION
VESSEL OF ARTS & KNOWLEDGE
The recreational programs were separated from the auditorium and support programs. The resulting intersections and foyer spaces becomes a hybrid space between auditorium and lobby area.

03 EMBRACING NATURE PROMOTING FOREST SCHOOL IN HIGHGATE, LONDON Second Year, Second Semester Academic Project Tutor: Julian Williams, Maria Kramer This project is to design a short-stay residential facilities for children in Highgate, London. It develops from forest school activities into a residential center. As the name suggested from ‘embracing nature’, the project intendeds to make more connections between forest and buildings, and create a happy environment for children’s growing environment in Highgate. The residential center aimed group are children who are just starting their British National Curriculum when they get the age of 6 in primary school. The teachers in school always keep children inside, since there are so much knowledge to get through for children on that age. Hence, the residential center is a ‘paradise’ for children to stay away from ‘principle of slavery’ of schools.
SITE POSITION
TOPOGRAPHY LINES
The site is surrounded by Queen’s Wood and Highgate Wood, which creates a motif of ‘embracing nature’.
The topography lines features the site geography: The sloping and views have more opportunities towards to forest landscapes.

URBAN CONTEXT
SITE CIRCULATION
The site features two extremes: The south side of the site is relatively crowded by residential buildings, while the northeast side facing area has an endless views of forest.
The entrance of the site is limited and has its potential to develop: The only way to access the site is from the main road. People neither have any path to access to the forest from the site, nor have a path to access the site from Summersby Street.
