Academic Work / Jan 2020
LOCATION Mayfield, Manchester, United Kingdom https://goo.gl/maps/tsGvARQyXVKvLn8KA
TYPE Bridge, Public building, Re-establishment, Re-connection
BRIEF Mayfield has been Manchester’s blind-spot for years, but it has entered into a state of change. The project aims to create architecture for Mayfield that offers eyes and ears to the city of Manchester by designing a building that challenges the ‘blind spot’ that Mayfield has become.
PROJECT SUMMARY The proposal for the project involves the concept of ‘Old&New’ and the idea of ‘Rebirth’. By investigating a historic analysis of the site, the project resolves into a bridge which serves not only as a connecting point between an old and a contemporary train stations but is also an experience itself including a gallery with a cafe, places for rest and a small auditorium.
TUTORS: Dragana Opacic Wilkinson, Ashley Hunt
Site model created with the help of laser-cutter. The model explores the existing site, its context and the possible locations of the architectural intervention
