THE WHISKY VAULT DESIGN BOOK INTRODUCTION
This Book has been produced in order to show the design works created throughout the 2nd year of Architecture at the Arts University Bournemouth. Three Projects were undertaken within the second year which included ARC 550 Dialogues of thinking and making a project for the renovation of a commercial building within Poole High Street. This building was transformed into the Whisky Vault. An architectural innovation which not only adds a dynamic sociable space within the urban environment of Poole but by creating and aging its own produce within the building a deeper link to the community could be established. ARC 551 Dialogues of Use and Form sought the design for a fully functioning music school complete with auditorium, practice rooms and public spaces all located in a designated site of Poole. Inspiration was taken from the works of Peter Eisenman throughout the design of this project enhancing the architectures synthesis through the term. ARC552 Dialogues of Future Scenarios holds traditional and digital artwork for a predicted future between the years 2016 and 2116. The Surrealist artwork combined with the Modernism movement of architecture was done within this project to try and predict how a border free culture may amalgamate across the globe.

THE WHISKY VAULT ARC 550 INTRODUCTION Fig 1 - Whisky Glass Sketch
This Chapter will outline the design methodology of an urban intervention within Poole High Street. The curiosity shop project will seek to enhance the urban qualities of Poole finding architectural solutions for overcoming various urban polemics. The strategies and systems being researched will be documented in order to understand how architectural interventions can enhance public space. Informants of various design decisions will be recorded and visually communicated throughout, linking to the LO4 group work of figure ground analysis and how it can be a suitable tool when intervening within a complex urban area. The project will include an analysis of the existing building to be refurbished and its current effect on the surrounding space. A sequence of design development stages will be presented to communicate how various design applications could create poetic solutions when improving urban areas whilst incorporating architectural qualities within the curiosity shop and surrounding area.

FIGURE/GROUND GROUP PROJECT Nolli Map Fig 69 - Nolli Map of Rome
Giambattista Nolli was an architect and surveyor, he was the first to compose a Figure/ Ground map of Rome in 1748; etched into copper tablets. This elaborate carving came to be known as the Nolli map. This Map is somewhat different to an original Map as its built structures are shaded dark and its public amenities e.g. the interior of public buildings including churches and public walkways were left white. The spatial phenomenon of Rome had been accurately condensed and refined to a binary format, Public & Private, Black & White, Open & Closed. Depending on the maps utilisation the binary image can be used effectively as an analytical tool for reading and understanding the relationship of spatial organisation in an Urban setting. This method as discussed by many modern designers does have its limitations due to its minimal detail for reference when designing. It is said that Figure ground images are a way of perceiving space; a tool for analysis rather than a tool for designing. “Don’t confuse the x-ray with the cure.” (Diaz, 2014) Colin Rowe & Robert Slutzky’s ‘Transparency’ essay written in the 1950’s slightly altered the application of Figure Ground images, not only can they be used for analysing spatial hierarchies in plan format, but can be used through the application of visual and painting theory to aid in the understanding of architectural elevation and section images. The polarity of light and dark highlights foreground elements that can be compared and contrasted in relation to there coherent background elements. (Diaz, 2014)

ARC 550 Dialogues of Thinking and Making
Urban morphology is described as the transformation of an urban setting across a time period. As previously mentioned the Figure/Ground images can be used as an analytical tool for the image being refined into simple light and dark elements allows the interpretation of urban morphology throughout history. The additional method of using an array of Maps from past decades help show how the Mass/Void relationship can alter. Building Density or Figure Density can be read from this method of architectural drawing. Throughout this research project various Figure/Ground images will be recorded and analysed to reflect on how the Public & Private spaces have been manipulated throughout history due to Social, Economical and Political changes in Poole. (Diaz, 2014)
FIGURE/GROUND GROUP PROJECT Nolli Map
The Nolli map was first created by an Italian architect and surveyor Giambatistta Nolli. This map was unique for its era due to its new format in the recording of a city. The Map is entirely monochromatic with dark shaded areas showing the structural elements including private areas restricted to the general population contrasted to the white public space, this emphasises the areas which the public have access too. (Tice, 2005) states that the significance of the Nolli map to Architects and urban designers is that it gives a unique view into the innate character of Rome. The Topography and spatial structures are vividly revealed through reading this style of Map. He contrasts this to contemporary architectural theory which focuses more on understanding a city through individual elements such as monuments, squares or buildings.
Tice moves on to explain the Urban dialectics of a Nolli Map and how the principals of contextual design are evident throughout Rome due to the Map showing the city as a whole, similar to showing an individual building to highlight its contextual applications. Distinctive features E.g. the relationship of outside and inside space in a city is thought of as similar to the inside outside relationship in a residential project. The Map quantifies Nollis understanding of the urban fabric showing streets, piazzas and buildings which can be linked to a dynamic interplay of Figure/Ground or the New and Old. The evolution of a cities spatial structure is seen not as a static but as living, highly charged and sometimes volatile discourse of the immersing pressures, issues and desires in both Human and Urban terms.
Tice divides how the Nolli map can be understood through different architectural theories. When reading a city through a Nolli Plan compared to a pictorial representation, the Nolli Plan allows one to compare space, position and size easily whereas a pictorial representation can become cluttered and hard to read due to the information density of a Pictorial Image. He continues to suggest that the Nolli map ‘provides an immediate and intuitive understanding of the cities urban form’ (Tice, 2005). When the Nolli Map is read through a Solid/Void comparison. The perception that a city could be thought of as having the various public spaces and walkways carved out of an urban setting rather than built from the ground up. This seems counter intuitive but can give rise to a higher understanding of an urban settlement. Fig. 69

The most evident progression in our mass maps of Poole high street from 1901 to 2015, implementing knowledge of figure ground, is the obvious and dramatic increase in urban density. The transformation of open public spaces has diminished rapidly as the high street struggles to keep up with the increase in consumerism and trade. Since the 1970’s Poole is known to have transformed into one of Britain’s popular ports, this boost in trade positively correlated with the surge in tourism forcing the council to deduct from the existing open public spaces. Another surprising characteristic that we discovered was the obvious enlargement of the high street since 1901. The large high street lures the consumer to the shopping centre and visa versa, creating an efficient herding process of profit. The increase in width of the high street has allowed for outside seating to be implemented along the centre of the street or outside the cafes. Although the increase in consumerism has caused a lot of money to be gained by Poole, the programme of Poole still seems disjointed and incoherent.

Figure/Ground diagram is an effective technique to express Poole’s urban morphology. This technique clearly identifies the difference between built and unbuilt space and aids urban designers/planners and architects to analyse a particular area. When comparing maps of Poole over large time period, figure/ground diagram helps analyse change and continuity within Poole town centre whilst outlining the process of its formation and transformation. Public activity and movement are key characteristics that has changed the way Poole high street functions. Using figure/ground diagram creates a clear pattern of activity on the high street both in the day and at night. The contrast between day and night activity effects what becomes public and private space at certain hours of the day. When day time public services stop trading and give way to the night time trade the topography of the area changes in relation to the activity that is taking place at that time. Figure/ground diagram is an efficient technique to analyse this process in relation to time. The two adjoining Maps highlight this change of available public space from day to night in this section of Poole high street. This contrast of closed space can be linked to the commercial consumerist nature of a high street. These maps also emphasise the use of commercial space split up into multiple sections with all commercial outlets located toward the front half of the Figure blocks. This reflects the culture of the contemporary capitalist society, however the increase in the Figure density of the high street can be correlated to the improvement of a towns economical activity along with a higher number of people visiting a town.
The change in urban morphology between day and night is less dramatic to the transformation in urban morphology of Poole high street when analysed over a longer period of time. Analysing Poole high street over a large period of time shows a more pedestrianised style of high street with services such as roads and storage positioned at the rear of a building. This enhances the accessibility to both large goods vehicles delivering goods but also for the pedestrians themselves walking through a sealed off high street. Development in technology of the car increased the level of congestion on the high street forcing this change. As Poole high street became a more pedestrian friendly area, the public area is pushed to the front of the shops and cafĂŠs so they would become more inviting whilst improving accessibility for public activity to occur.

Infill Definition: The planned conversion of empty lots, underused or run down buildings, and other available space in densely built up urban and suburban areas for use as sites for commercial buildings and housing, frequently as an alternative to over development of rural areas. The increase of density over time could imply urbanism infill, where the voids of an area are built up to house more people or businesses. The increase in urbanisation increases the poche’ (in this case private property) of a Figure/Ground map. This would show how much private housing has been added to the high street of Poole. In 1634 there was a lot of private housing, which was much more spread out, not unlike a rural area. Around the industrial revolution the building density increased quite dramatically, the high street had clearly undergone urban infill, possibly filling out the gaps in gardens or courtyards. Over time certain areas appear to have been developed and some buildings appear to have been removed for parking, once the car had dictated society. The high street has become as dense as physically possible on the front to allow for the highest amount of commercial units, the back streets have not been completely blocked with private buildings due to car parking requirements by residents and employees of the shops, cafÊs and homes. Although very dense, the buildings allow for a rather large public access through the high street with benches and simple landscaping.

The art of marking the habited region dates back 8000 years ago. Even today people are using maps to define and navigate around an area. “Without extraordinary assistance, how do you think that a private person could have emerged from this labyrinth?” (Sadler, 1999, p.82) In the 18th century an Italian architect named Giambattista Nolli developed an idea to use maps not only to show the urban fabric but to explain the social interaction space through a two-dimensional media. The map holds traces of urban morphology, landscape elements incorporated into in a binary system of figure and ground. Showing the public and private space within a single image, The morphological aspect in the urban environment follows a certain pattern that can be identified by studying the map, but it is not normally clearly expressed. The city fabric is potential to accommodate discordant plots within one building complex taking different geometries. (Marshall, 2015, p.117) As stated in The Situationist City a “building is only a skin, what happens inside makes the city alive” (Sadler, 1999, p.82) and that is what Nolli map aims to reflect: The life within the figure and ground. The project encompasses the application of the Nolli map to Poole’s Old Town. The focus is laid on the High Street area that runs from the railway station towards Poole Quay. We looked at the figure/ground relationship across a certain plot of social fabric and analysed what has and is affecting it and how the region around the High Street acts throughout the day and night.
After some observation and research, it was found that the centre point of Poole’s Old town is the High street, which directly connects the railway station and Poole bay hence it gathers most of the pedestrians on this road, leaving other roads deserted. The public spaces such as shops and cafés and even a church are located along this main road attracting people from all walks of life to wander and socialise in and around Poole High Street. The paralleled roads can be accessed mostly through the narrow passages which are subtly submerged between large façades of colour ridden shops. These darker alleys lead to smaller back roads, these back roads serve as parking and back entrances to the shops and cafés within day and night, despite its high potential with large quantities of daylight and a considerable width for a back road, not a single person was detected using the these roads for more than a few minutes, nevertheless the main road was bustling with barely enough room to walk. Referring back to the Nolli map of Poole, all of the ground floor spaces facing the High Street were available for public usage throughout the day. According to Fawcett (2006, p.6) the façade plays a crucial role in portraying the city fabric as it “articulates urban affects and provides a positive understanding of the street grid as a persistent and flexible planning instrument along time.” The layers above the ground floor level accommodate mainly private areas. Due to the absence of advertisements and banners the storey above the ground floor remains unnoticed and seemingly unimportant in the perception of the town. During the night time people are inclined to group around a limited amount of space. These publicly open places do not appear within the area the project was focused on, making the High Street only a walk-through way and the paralleling streets entirely unused.
Looking at the Nolli maps from different eras, one can follow the patterns of the changes in the urban fabric and how the town was used. Therefore, the logic in the movement can be articulated, which is crucial for the city planning for example. In the 17th century Poole was a fishing town with a relatively low urban density, however during the industrial revolution the town grew rapidly as the trade started to flourish with the port of Poole gradually becoming more important. As can be seen from the old photos, the buildings partly accommodated public activities, but were mostly for private users. Due to the growth in the number of inhabitants of Poole, larger activity around the centre was encouraged hence more buildings were required to host the people and their needs so that the street view has faced major change within the last Century. The production of variously composed Figure/ Ground drawings clearly indicate how the one or two-storey buildings gradually rise to host more plots within the limited built space. This has led the streets to become busy throughout the day. The easily accessible spaces are used for mostly retail and commercial affairs, so that businesses can have maximum traffic to support the trade in Poole. The buildings reach around 7 meters, which is assumed to be set by the building regulations in order not to completely block the sunlight penetration to the street. To conclude, via research it could be stated that the old Town of Poole is highly focused on retail which is poorly located across a large area in order to gain maximum public interest. This results in an over commercialised high street with large quantities of shoppers in the day contrasted to little night time activity therefor destroying the night time atmosphere of this particular high street. This is why Nolli maps or figure/ground drawings can be a highly valuable tool to aid in the understanding of these complex urban issues which may not be read from other forms of graphic communication.

SUGAR CUBE CITY
AND THE SURREAL SKYLINE
Introduction Fig 149 - Salvador Dali Montage
This collection of drawings and artwork will outline a predicted urban morphology for the town of Poole, Dorset. The project will depict a future scenario ranging from the year 2016 to 2116. Initial research surrounded the archive of Surrealist art and the Modernism movement of Architecture. The drawings that follow are an interpretation of how Poole could manifest a new method of living through the design of its major architectural typologies. E.g. Transport infrastructure, Cultural and Educational buildings, Residential Dwellings and Commercial districts. The project has a shifting point from where a contemporary interpretation of a dynamic crystalline living structure (inspired through the works of Superstudios: Continuous monument) adding the ability for the architecture to move freely around the world; a border less planet with modular inhabitation. The second portion of the project looks at architectural innovations for the skyline of Poole predicting how the urban landscape could be designed in order to create a town bustling with Life, Trade, Music, Culture and Art throughout the next century

CONCLUSION
MARLOW PARKER
141
THE SURREAL SKYLINE CONCLUSION
Throughout the development of this project multiple variations of surrealist informed drawings were produced. By initiating without a defined goal or design direction allowed the freedom of drawing to generate new and unexplored forms and ideas of architecture throughout the duration of the term. Researching surrealist art allowed a deeper understanding of the art movement whilst highlighting the positive notions that can be extracted through surrealist thinking. The drawings within the Surreal Skyline project appear monochromatic, this is due to the physical construction of the architectural elements however as written in the LO3/LO4 essay the integration of the human awareness into a digital mixed reality will allow each and every person to style, colour and perceive each of their worlds differently. Through this difference more understanding of hegemony and community can be achieved within the social discourse of the population of earth. Sugar cube city being a tangential project was inspired through the work of Superstudios specifically the Continuous Monument project. Combining this idea with cutting edge technology can allow a border less world to be imagined with the inclusion of an inhabitation system designed to minimise the impact of human activity on earth. The removal of borders between nations, states, towns, culture, philosophy and psychology have been the main focus throughout the project. It is believed that by removing borders of understanding or metaphysical borders which have been designed throughout history will allow the population of earth to take a step forward in becoming a unified earth. This is not the creation of a monoculture as diversity would be encouraged through the surrealist nature of the built environment.

ARC 552 Dialogue with Future Scenarios
This project predicts a huge cultural and political shift across the next 100 years, tradition, heritage and long standing ideals may have to be compromised in order to create a world of fairness in life, to life and for the legacy in the after life. Although some would argue that tradition and heritage is important it has to be stressed that if we continue down the same path we have done for the past 200 years there would be no built world to protect. In fact there might not be a human population due to the current course of actions putting us confidently to extinction in the next 100 years if something drastic doesn’t change. Architecture is a powerful tool for shaping social and political conduct, the transformation into a surrealist art craved world will look to engage the human species into a epoch of Philosophy, Education and Wisdom ensuring the continuation for the people of earth in a civilised and egalitarian manner.
