Site Analysis

Part 1 Architectural Assistant

“The urban environment should be designed from the point of view of the moving person” Gordon Cullen.

Further investigation of pedestrian and vehicular movement to divert the roads around Rawson Square creating an open pedestrain space. This would encourage outdoor socialising in central Bradford.

I investigated the site through Serial Vision and following a pedestrian route around the Rawson Square to understand the potential approaches towards a better public realm.

Iterations

Iteration 3 I did these quick iterations to start thinking about how I wanted the building to interact with the existing context and due to the narrow site, I also wanted to have some open space for pedestrians.

Iteration 3 seemed to fit better within the site and the sloping roof corresponds with the varying height of the adjacent buildings, hence responding to the context.

This residential design is aimed towards creating a balance between communal and private spaces. The arrangement of each unit in this manner is to avoid overlooking and it also creates space for private roof gardens which encourages further social interaction. The different user groups can freely interact with each other, hence creating a sense of community.

iterative sketch model of the site Working with iterative models helped to visualize the proposal and it was easier to understand the different opportunities to best accomodate a sustainable community living.

The make, sell and educate spaces have been divided into private and public spaces to have a clear building programme that will allow the users to easily move around the key spaces whilst being able to also get a small peak into the manufacturing process in the private spaces.
