The site is located along Chapel Street in Salford. Taking up the space of the car park situated in between Browncross Street, Quay Street and Squaw Street, the space will represent and be based upon the regeneration of the area to create a community area for Salford. This location is perfect as it is near a major entry point to Manchester, along Bridge Street, as well as many transport links such as bus and train. It is at the heart of the much of the recent regeneration and represents a key point in the crossing between Salford and Manchester, it is overlooked, and the potential of the area is far from being met as a car park.

Salford is an area which has and is seeing a rapid regeneration take place, specifically Chapel Street. At the forefront of this regeneration and the reason for many of the new construction seen along Chapel Street is the need to accommodate a growing population. High rise flats and similar areas have taken over the length of Chapel Street and little thought seems to be given as to if these newly created areas will be harbor positive social spaces or how humans will engage with them from the outside. This can be seen as a direct result of many of these new apartment blocks offering amenities within their walls such as communal gardens or gyms for the citizens of the apartments. The effects of this result in the city no longer being used and people only see their home as theirs, using their car to travel to work or other activities as nothing can be found locally.

The aim of this project will be to create a healthy city by allowing citizens to reclaim their city through the creation of an area which harbors the needs of the community and in which their wants can be explored while bringing the area together. Through a mixture of indoor and outdoor spaces it will incorporate a sustainable design which can be tailored for a large number of activities. Built around a central structure it will follow the shape of the site leaving an open area with natural aspects at its center.

SITE ANALYSIS

SITE

INTEREST

The Site is located in between, Browncross Street and Quay Street and is currently hosting a car park area. Located at one of the major entry points to Manchester and next to Salford Central Train Station, this site is an important area with lots of past and cultural aspects attached to the space.

The site will receive most of it’s yearly insolation during summer, as can be seen, the site will be in full daylight throughout the majority of the day. In Winter, however, the area/site does not receive much sunlight at ground level due to it’s tall surrounding buildings. This will mean for the creation of a meaningful outdoor area an elevated park would be needed.

ALICE TULLY HALL -

DILLER

SCOFIDIO + RENFRO

NEW YORK CITY - LINCOLN CENTER

Completed in 2013, the Alice Tully Hall in New York involved a redesign of the already existing music and performance hall to a world class hall to hosts events. The new hall came along with an outdoor area created through the retreating of the lower floors to create an overhang. This opens up the street making a cohesive structure working with the city and people.

P R E C E D E N T S

Situated in Guadalajara, Mexico, this preschool was completed in 2018. It covers 4950m 2 which is the size more or less of my site and follows a similar shape to my site.

An interesting aspect of this structure revolves around the use of a circular center point courtyard allowing light to enter the building throughout all times of the day.

GUADALAJARA, MEXICO

A collaboration between Timberland and Stefano Boeri led to the creation of the floating forest in Milan. Timberland saw it’s values represented in the design and offer a guided VR tour around, while Stefano saw this a way of reaffirming the message of climate change and the need for action. This inspired me due to the notion of having a forest in an area not usually associated with surface greenery. This is something I aim to include in my design through the creation of a green space in an urban context. Implementing this in Manchester would involve some sort of protection to make it accessible all year long.

Building level is equal to arches in area, adds symmetry to space and building. Detail like this is vital in the creating an attractive area which can bring out features already present on sites.

The use of exposed wood for the structure of the community center would allow for an attractive aesthetic and would allow for an easy insertion of skylights into the roof, in turn giving light to the whole structure.

DEVELOPMENT

3D LAYOUT

A. Extrude surface upwards motion.

B. Push left side building down in middle and extend into right side building.

C. Push right side building down in the middle to create overhang.

D. Pull middle building out to connect it with right side building. This will create connected buildings which allows light to middle area.

2D LAYOUT

BASED OFF GROUND FLOOR SPACE CREATION

01. Offset site edges towards inside to get a large area with no access through.

02. Cut into 3 different areas to allow access through the area.

03. Push back where cuts are positioned in order to create a larger central area.

04. Access to site is no longer restricted and area created to harbor positive community building activities.

SPACE DEVELOPMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY

The building will allow healthy amounts of light to come in all year round. Maintaining a stable and pleasant temperature in the inside of the structure through the implementation of larger and an increase in the amount of windows on the South side compared to the North Side. The Building also follows a structure which increases in size as you move up, this will allow for large communal spaces on both the ground floor and top floor enriching Salford’s social life and allowing for the heat created in the Community Center to rise and heat up the spaces most used. These spaces will comprise of large community areas accommodating pool tables and ping pong tables as well as an indoor garden to improve the air quality and bring a natural aspect into the city life. Furthermore, the view will open up onto the railway bridge allowing a previously excluded area to become part of residents lives. The ventilation will be manages by large sliding doors which open up to terraces and the windows positioned around the building envelope.
