The Riverside Studios has always held a highly esteemed connection with it’s surrounding community. They desire to continually uphold this relationship between public and private which has enabled the studios to act as a cultural hub in Hammersmith. In past the cultural ‘inclusivity’ has been upheld by means of creating a space that is accepting of public involvement even in the midst of the Studio’s private schedule.

The focus, therefore, of this scheme is the bridging of connections be-

tween Riverside Studios and the surrounding contextual community.

The design endeavours to create a link between these two elements, enabling direct interaction between the private and public facilities by means of journying through the site. The scheme aims to have the Riverside Studios as the ‘focus’ and ‘core’ of the building by means of using transparency as a conceptual component. The atrium and dipping landscape at the centre of the design acts as a merging and linking space between

the studios below ground level and the residential units above that peer into this mentioned space below. Thus, creating a playful and seductive link between the public and private. The path that we are adapting from groundfloor to basement exposes the Riverside Studios to the public without interfering with it’s private functions. This same design language continues from the first to thrid levels above by using a series of ramps to continue the journey throughout the site.

The site is located in a prominent position on passing over the Hammersmith Bridge, circulations routes have potential to dip and cut across the site if design allows.

Grid layout of conceptual plan onto the site to determine the position of studios and public spaces in relation to the landscape.

Circulation routes culminate in the centre of the site, creating a core and a hub of activity by passers-by meadering through the site toward the river and vis-versa.

Grid layout over the site to determine areas that landscape could be manipulated for intriguing and adventurous circulation

Conceptual layout of multilevel plans onto site to illustratethe central core to be left open on ground level to make way for passing through pedestrians.

Tutor: John Bell | Gabor Stark CULTIVATION

BIOFUELS

Malta is the primery area of research and building up a narrative for the thesis project for the final year of Master of Architecture.

My first step was to investigate what we call emergent urbanism, through the analysis of exisitng shantytowns, like Makoko Laos Nigeria and Rochina in Brazil. Looking at the growth behavior of the slums, their properties, and uncover pattern growth assists to

20

the comprehensing of the Emergent Urbanism. by using algorithms like Cellular Automata.

After investigating Malta on the trip to find similar traces of slums, the site was chosen to build up the narrative of the project.

The design proposal inspired by the natural environment of Malta aims to offer an envirionmental, social and financial solution as a response to the problem of the slums.

Malta is know to have a large number of portected areas, natural parks by UNESCO, so when there is no actual to build on we make a fake land. The proposal is the creation of a floating community to harvest seaweed, a product that can be used both for pharmacauticals and as sustainable energy source and helps to resolve the problems caused by overfish farming leaving chemicals in the waters of Malta.

UPPER SKIN: cladding out of white corian panels, the preforation is limited from 0.5 to 1 metre width and length from 1 to 3 metres. in between is fixed a double layer of ETFE.

STEEL GRID: first layer; this is the grid on which tha corian panels are fixed on. the grid is made based on the isocurves of the skin.

MAIN STRUCTURE: the structure that supports the building is a series of traces, every 10 metres theres is a trace arch of 0.5 m thickness. on the arch there are fixed on steel extensionswhich push the skin further giving it its curves.

STEEL GRID 2: the second grid is to support the panelizing of the interior skin.

It is a development in progress consisting of 4 main buildings to a design already executed.

2 buildings have been constructed and are now occupied.

Our design task was to redesign Building 1 which was originally designed to be 121,176 sq meter and some

54 stories high with a maximum height of 220 meters. The building has been constructed to ground level with a fixed structural configuration.

The original use of the building was for offices with residential on the upper two floors.

In conjunction with the façade exercise we have also been asked to consider the facades of Building 4.

The client seeks a f resh approach to the building’s appearances, and a reduction in built area with a use mix as follows: Office: 69,000 m2 Residential 14,000 m2 Hotel: 14,000 m2

Lego is inspired by the local landscape. The facades have been carved out to form a number of outdoor spaces, resembling the famous Yi Ling caves. These terraces are social amenity spaces for the building occupants and also provide platforms for plantings, paying homage to China’s greenest city.

The proposal is some 186 meters tall with 43 stories and an area of 96,928 m2.

The Diamond is inspired by the diamond. The diamond is a rare gem difficult to mine, making it unique and the most expensive gem in the world.

It is also a durable crystal and the highest quality diamonds have a clarity about them – as any signature building should do.

The Spiral is inspired as well by the natural environment of Nanning. Trying to imitate the organic forms and break down the sharo edges of the solid volume the edges are being smoothed and each floor there are curvy extensions up to 2 meters in accordance with the engineers. The aim of that detail is to give the impression to the outsiders of an organic kinetic facade, taken over by climbing plants.

Keywords: exosomatic agent, spatial cognition, spatial perception, environment psychology, wayfinding in urban environment, landmarks

Abstract: This paper aims to investigate human spatial behavior at the urban scale and to identify which city elements, beyond the angle and depth of view, are crucial to navigation. This research is trying to expand on the Space Syntax models of Turner’s memoryless, stochastic agents (Turner et al. 2001). These agents assumed an exosomatic visual architecture (EVA), as the information nec-

essary to navigate in an environment comes from outside the body. Does this presume that every time the agent is in a different environment it behaves differently because the exo-information is different? What is the information provided by surroundings that is used in the agent’s navigation and how is it quantified?

The research methodology is based on a series of tests of an exosomatic agent in different cities

observing the differences between the choices of navigation of the agent.

It is important first to understand the theory of natural movement and, as Hillier is suggesting that space is a setting for human behavior (Hillier 2014) to see which feature (and by extension tools) in this setting affect the way that an agent behaves.

4.1.2 Comparison of Urban Characteristics Overview Table:

4.1.3 City-Isovist Metrics: The comparison of the simulations is done based on the collected data. The city metrics that are taken into consideration are the following: Centrality: The centrality of an isovist describes the location of the vantage point relative to the visible area. It can be used to determine whether the observer is in a central position or located near the boundary of the visible region.

Connectivity: The connectivity of an isovist represents the number and arrangement of visible openings or paths from the vantage point to other locations within the visible region. It provides insights into how connected or isolated different parts of the environment are. In simple terms, it is a way to quantify how closely packed or interlinked the visible objects are from each other.

In the context of visibility in urban space, this measure gives insights into how interconnected the visible objects are from the current position of the agent. A high value of connectivity indicates that the visible points are closer, demonstrating high density and a more navigable urban environment. On the other hand, a low value implies that the visible objects are more spread out.

Entropy: Entropy is the measure of uncertainty in a dataset or a probability distribution.

The more this probability is spread out the higher the entropy. In this concept, entropy measures the uncertainty in visibility.

The formula for entropy is: H(X) = - S[P(x) * log2(P(x))] Where: H(X) = Entropy of the random variable X P(x) = Probability of a specific value x occurring in X

In the context of urban spaces and visibility analysis, the idea of centrality here refers to how central or visually prominent the position of the agent is within the surrounding environment. A low centrality value indicates that the intersection points are closer to the position, having better visibility to a larger portion of the surrounding urban elements. On the contrary, a high centrality value indicates that the hits are further away making the current position less central and less prominent.

In the context of urban spaces, what is calculated through the measure of entropy is how evenly or unevenly the visible objects are distributed around the current position.

Uncertainty in this context measures how much it is expected for the distances to vary.

A high value suggests a more uncertain or varied distribution of visible points, while a lower one indicates a more predictable distribution. It helps to capture the randomness in what can be seen from a particular viewpoint in an urban space.

Route Length/Steps: How long is in total the route that the agent chooses to take in how many steps?

Travel Time: Comparing the route length with the travel time allows us to understand the speed the agent was moving. Remember one of the goals of the simulations is to observe the minimum amount of time that takes for the isovist to reach the target while reading all the elements of each city.

In the context of urban spaces, elongation provides information regarding the orientation of the visible area from the current position of the agent. A high value indicates that the visible area is stretched in one direction. A low value indicates a more symmetric shape of the visible area. In 3D visibility analysis, If the elongation value is close to 1, it suggests a more balanced or isotropic visible volume.

For example, consider a viewpoint in a city where the visible volume is elongated vertically. This might indicate that there are taller buildings or structures in that direction, and the view is more oriented toward the sky or upward. If it is low, it means the visible volume is relatively uniform in all directions, suggesting an equal distribution of features in the environment.

Spatial Openness: The purpose of spatial openness is to indicate the quality of perception and comfort. (Fisher-Gewirtzman and Wagner, 2003). Here Spatial Openness quantifies the degree the visible area is clear.

Skewness: Skewness measures the asymmetry in the distribution of a dataset. In the concept of Isovist skewness refers to the asymmetry of the visual perception of space from a current point.

In the context of urban spaces, the skewness is affected by the shape of space, and the objects' arrangement, providing insights into whether the visible objects are more concentrated on one side or evenly spread around the current position. Positive skewness suggests more visible points at shorter distances. Negative skewness suggests more visible points at longer distances, possibly highlighting distant landmarks or features.

Elongation: The elongation of an isovist represents the ratio of the length of the longest axis to the length of the shortest axis of the visible region. It quantifies how stretched out or elongated the visible area is in a particular direction.

In the context of urban spaces, a high value indicates that at the current position, the view is more open. It quantifies the visual quality within the urban environment.

4.2 STEP B-Exosomatic Agent Model Simulations 4.2.1 Observations of 2D Isovist-2D Urban Isovist-3D Urban Isovist: Each city provides different information to the agent therefore there is a different interaction of the agent with the elements. The code itself needs to be adapted according to the environment/the elements of the city. For example, from the results, it is observed that although both in London and Sydney the agent needs to cross the river their reaction with the surrounding buildings differs, as it was noted that in the simulation of Sydney, the agent needed to be more cognitive of the location of the target.

Dubai Metrics Results: In the simulation of Dubai, due to the unorderly distribution of the obstacles in conjunction to the large open spaces, the agent follows the most profound view (as predicted by Alasdair Turner’s isovist). The lack of orderly urban patterns results in high asymmetry in visibility as demonstrated by the Skewness values in both graphs, observing the high difference from one position to another.

According to the 2D Isovist graph, the Skewness in Visibility starts at a high value and the closer the agent gets to the Destination it decreases as expected. On the contrary, the Entropy stays stable, and the Elongation decreases slightly. The results of the 2D isovist demonstrated the asymmetry of space, while the high value of Spatial Openness indicates the existence of open fields and that the obstacles are spread out.

Paris Metrics Results:

The Parisian arrondissements are not famous only for the spoke-like urban patterns and their landmarks but also for their façade buildings. In classic European urban Architecture, the buildings had been constructed one attached to the other, with some having quarte yards.

It is an Architectural urban characteristic that we have observed since medieval Florentine Architecture, raising the question does the façade belongs to the street or the street to the façade. The simulation of the Isovist of Turner confirms that the facades determine the streets, keeping the Entropy in Visibility stable, while the Elongation rises only on the nodes of the city, the cross paths. The negative values in Skewness as indicated in Graphs 12 for 2d Isovist and 13 for 2d Urban Isovist and the lower values in Graph 14 for 3d Urban Isovist indicate the landmarks on the paths.

New York Metrics Results:

London Metrics Results:

In the famous Manhattan grid, the Isovist is simple.

It moves fast. The wide and long avenue gives the agent the longest possible view. Through Graphs 20, 21 and 22, it is observed that while in Turner Isovist the Skewness drops the closer the agent gets to Destination, in both 2D and 3D Urban simulations the value of Skewness is more stable. The fixed street layout of New York City helps the agent to find his way faster and the Entropy stable.

However, there is a difference observed between the 2D simulations both Turner Isovist and the 2D Urban and the 3D Urban; the Elongation while changing the value to higher moving towards the Destination point in the first two, in the 3D Urban, as it’s taking into consideration the height of the surrounding buildings, the value remains stable.

The simulations of London, as demonstrated in Figure 20 generated three completely different paths to reach Destination. In the Turner Isovist simulation as expected from the code, the agent chooses to move on the pointiest and simplest path towards the target. The simplicity of the path and having from an early point visual connectivity with the Destination keeps the Entropy at low levels and stable. While the values of Elongation indicate when the view of the agent is more elongated or stretched along a direction, in other words showing when the agent reaches the river and passes through open field, like parks or plazas. Through the SO it is observed when the agent chooses to go through shortcuts, when the value drops, meaning the visibility quality drops at that point on the path.
