The following project is a Spatial Design Thesis for the MArch course at Plymouth University School of Architecture, Design and Environment. The document is a continuation of the “Backyard Revolution” Urban strategy for the city of Słupsk (economical, political, social and environmental strategy). The principles of the strategy are applied to a specific site based within an urban block in the area Długa close to the city’s centre. The project demonstrates how the urban strategy can work in the scale of a building through a sequence of spatial analysis, material flow studies, spatial design and technical details. In addition the document includes architectural research and a series of precedents that support and demonstrate existing examples that have been developed in solidarity to these ideas. Finally the theoretical analysis is distilled into a visual expression of the our design that is communicated through a series of diagrams, drawings, texts, models, and photos.
