DIGNITY BETHNAL GREEN, LONDON ENGLAND

The NHS is currently under an enormous and constantly increasing amount of pressure. Post Brexit has also increased pressure meaning the future of the NHS is at major risk. The NHS is vital for every individual across the UK and is currently not coping. Further to this the NHS do not do enough to prevent risks in the first place nor enough to maintain health post operation. For this reason it is with great importance that a new system is designed to enable a better NHS which can be more efficient in the way it is run and increase the bed rates for patients. The lack of beds currently in hospitals is beyond what they can accommodate for especially with increasing population and lack of funding.

My system provides a temporary accommodation for those recovering from strokes. . One in three people die from Stroke in the UK. Stroke patients are mostly long term however they do not need to be in the hospital at the time therefore bringing them to a concentrated care location for their needs will increase recovery rates and relieve the NHS from its pressure whilst maintaining a higher turnover in beds.

Prevention

Section 1:20 1

The section below is shows a range of key feature in the design including a green roof, electrical fittings. Balconies, cantilever, foundation, interior walls, materiality, window sills and construction materials.

SCHEME This scheme also involves prevention. The prevention is not only for the patient but also for the general public, staff and the students on site. In order to prevent strokes for the general public there will be lectures held to educate the public, furthermore the patients staff and students will spread the message through word of mouth. The patients will learn how to prevent strokes through their therapies, there will be counselling available for the individuals enabling the NHS to save on further issues and reoccurring strokes.

Final Major Project DIGNITY “Hospitals have blinking lights which don’t stop even When the patients life has.� BJ Miller.

Pateints are brought to my site from the hospital post stroke. Stroke has 5 main stages these are; prevention, stroke event, discharge, rehabilitation and maintainance. However the NHS does not concentrate on the first and last (prevention and maintance). For this reason I will focus on these. The patients will be treated through therapy and they will be looked after nurses and students who are learning on site.

For those currently undergoing these issues in order to aid them in quitting a counselling session will be available which will help in causing further issues with the patients. Further to this counselling will lead to others to realising that getting over their habits is not as hard as it seems. Through the assistance of therapy also we aim to help the patient overcome any habits through distraction.

Through educating all the generations about the harms of overeating, smoking and other effects which may lead to stroke we can be lower the rates of people doing these bad habits.

Further to this individuals will be able to spread this information through word of mouth and could enable others to stop also.

Aiding here is the first step in prevention. Especially educating those of newer generations.

Introducing a newly designed system will enable the Elderly to work while improving their fitness, aiding them to become less stressed and provide a balanced lifestyle therefore providing prevention in a variety of ways not only for stroke but from depression and other diseases which may add to the cost of the NHS.

Urban Grid Fitting in with the urban context is important, for this reason I have followed grid lines which have been generated from the surrounding context. Examples include natural paths and the building shapes.

Sun Pathing/Right of Light I have extruded the building enabling the sun to hit the building where indicated. The sun is positioned to enable the rooms to become brightly lit. The overall building height does not exceed a certain height to ensure neighbouring buildings recieve enough light.

Cutting Building & Sun Path By cutting the building up the sun is able to access more areas of the site, furthermore the corners enable better spacing for the patient rooms.

8

Right of way The urban context indicated an existing path through the site. I have therefore enabled this path to be accessed by the public enabling the site to still work well as a right of way for the community.

Introducing Courtyards Courtyards are vital in my design as research has indicated that nature is a key in patient recovery. As seen by ASL and Thomas Heatherwick. Providing immeadiate views for the patients will help reduce stress levels and increase their morality.

Building Spaces Adding spaces in between the building enables a variety of opportunities, such as the potential for more lighting more nature and this can enable a diffrientiation between the public and private areas.

Adjusting building heights I have lowered the buildings in front of the back buildings this will means more light can be accessed, furthermore this enables individuals to obtain a view of immeadiate nature or the skyline or in many cases both. Again enhancing the experience of the patient.

Addition of 5th Building This next building has been added for private counciling sessions to take place with a view of the london skyline which sits above.

Cutting Corners of The Buildings I have cut the corners of the buildings this is because harsh edges are not suitable in building design.

Editing the Exisiting Path By editing the path a more efficient circulation around the site between the public and the patients is enabled. The path is also more inviting introducing a want for the public to pass by.

Twisting Buildings Twisting the buildings enable the patients to have immeadiate access to courtyards right outside of their door.

The buidlings are twisted in a way to cast little shadows and the enabling roof access for views will enable the view of london to be appreciated.

9

Maintenance SCHEME In order to achieve maintenance a few principles need to be in place. These include using the correct colours throughout, a light green will be scattered in places which will enable the patients to feel calm. Further to this the connection between nature and man is very important for this reason I wanted to use materials such as timber for the interior spaces, I also wanted there to be a use of plants throughout bringing out some natural healing processes.

Enabling the patient to feel at ease will improve their outcomes and they will recover at a rate speedier of that in a hospital.

CONCEPT STORE SHENZHEN, CHINA

EIN is a popular fashion retail store in Shenzhen China. The store is advancing in China and they are after a new concept store to maybe make into a reality. I wanted to use their own words and go with a theme of “simple luxury�. This theme is used because they do not focus of luxury in general, nor comfort, nor price but rather they want to change the experience of retail and offer something new to customers, this may involve technology or installations.

14

15

EIN CONCEPT This brand which began in 2002 brings beauty and quality of life to modern women. The brand focuses on “simple luxury.” This brand is heavily influenced by Scandinavian countries and the way they have “transparency”.

I therefore want to create a store which represents this Nordic atmosphere. I want to use a range of natural materials which compliment the surrounding store. Also blending this with the theme of simple luxury will create a natural and fitting store to fit in with EIN.

Material Board As previously mentioned materiality is going to be a key aspect in making this store feel right for the brand. Again going with my Simple Luxury theme I have chosen leather concrete and wood as my main materials combining the luxury of the leather with the natural wood to create the atmosphere I wanted

CENTRE PIECE The render below illustrates what the customer would see as soon as they have entered the store. The most immediate thought would be to approach the centre piece where it is well lit and the design of this one off piece is intriguing.

The materials of the natural wood against the concrete flooring work well together and produce a minimalistic feel inside.

Plan The plan of any retail shop is arguably the most important spacial design element. The plan needs to be concise ensuring anthropometrics and ergonomic standards are met. I have designed the space to be open and inviting yet still contain the elements a shop needs to have. I have done this by having some structures small and others big which is a good balance for this store.

Axonometric STORE CIRCULATION Here an axonometric drawing clearly illustrates the layout and provides a feel to this concept store. The store at this stage is now an intrigue from the outside and from the inside. I feel this project bring out the best of EIN. Simple Luxury has been achieved through a minimalistic design. The design materials are complimentary, yet the store obtains a modern outlook on the project.

20

Circulation As the installation in the middle is facing the entrance it becomes the first thing which people walk by therefore forcing people to move in a direction in which I want them to.

The customers would exit the structure to the left and continue to see all of the components of the store. Finally the individual has now been by a majority of the products so if they want to continue to the till they can.

21

Shop Walk-through SHOP FRONT/INTERIOR A variety of renders here illustrate firstly the shop front. The shop-front uses a black and copper feel which indicates a use of modern materials for a retail store. The shop front also builds and causes intrigue. From the outside the displays and the centre piece can allow people to feel the need to come inside and look through the store and experience a different retail experience.

Then the view from the till and a view to the till illustrates, the store in a view of an employee and as a customer, showing what it is like as a member of staff and as a customer outside of the centre.

RIBA POLYARK “FUN PALACE” CAIRO, EGYPT

Adaptable spaces are limited yet efficient. Egypt is currently in a moment of rehabilitation, which is why I have brought my design to Egypt The Nile is currently used little and introducing adaptable will enable the public to feel more ownership of a public unused space. Adaptable will contribute to the society and the community bring us together.

Currently we live in a time where individuals are looking down into their phones and refined communication takes place. Further to this it boosts Egypt’s pop-up communities and economy as it will attract tourists as well as locals. A fun palace to me is an interchangeable space enabling a variety of activities to take place. Egypt has an issue socially after the revolution, designing a place where communities can grow together will encourage a rebuilding society. Movement is the key design factor contributing to a successful fun palace, enabling change at an instants notice.

MECHANISMS

AXONOMETRIC

Spatially much is to be considered. Hosting a popular festival must be well organised, this can be achieved through zoning and circulation. Toilets, general services are all hosted on the outskirts of the structure enabling the middle segments to become dedicated to the festival. There are a range of lifts around the outside which can withhold the constant high number of individuals.

Structurally many aspects need to be considered.

A floating structure comes with its own predicaments. I have included a floating ring around the outside which will keep the balance of the structure with very high weight tolerances. The mechanism includes actuators which is used to control the linkages.The linkages are connected to the pins which are raised and used for the platforms.

> Dealing with constant high flow of individuals. > Employees have some access to control heights > Range of viewpoints enables a controlled circulation.

> Float designed to be weight tolerant > Mechanism controls the pins individually.

Redefining fun in the 21st century involves delivering a variety of services in order to help fulfil the requirement of a fun palace. The use of a space where family’s and friends gather is a great source of fun globally. Through redefining the cultural aspect I decided to discover the controversy of the moulid and begin to act as to how we may celebrate this event through the use of recreation. This recreational event will attract many around as the celebration offers a variety of acts and activities to partake in. The exhibition space is based on the theme “The miracle and power of love”. This event includes a spiritually gaining experience enabling the user to discover the lives of their idols and inspirations.

MOTHER SHOREDITCH, LONDON ENGLAND

Mother is a project based in Shoreditch, London. The aim of this project is to understand commercial office use, hotel use and another need of my choice. Daycare is becoming harder by the day and many young couples cannot have kids because of their work life. So I am to combine the work life with a daycare where individuals may look after their kids during the day. Also making the work area a 24 hour place makes it possible to change our daily lives, no more 9-5pm but rather 8 hours a day must be completed throughout the duration of 24 hours, so it becomes possible to spend time with family and work around the inconvenience of a 9-5pm shift.

31

Development Diagrams SITE USAGE Programming this system is important and difficult as children will have several health and safety precautions which need to be considered. For this reason they are located towards the bottom of the building. Whereas the more private and exclusive areas such as Shoreditch house is located at the top of the building where they may obtain their privacy.

Programming WHAT IS HAPPENING? These diagrams enables me to see what I want to happen over the spread of the floor. It shows me what will be happening just outside of the building, things I will need to be aware of so that I do not put the kids in any harm.

Furthermore the models have shown me how I would like to split the building up enabling my staircase to become a centralised piece. My activities will all work around the staircase which leads to every floor bottom to the roof.

SITE EXPLAINED

Below is a section and some floor plans of the site. The section clearly illustrates the structural columns and indicates where the floors meet. The floor plans show the Daycare in use and the other showing mothers floor with the amphitheatre.

The aim of this project is to rehabilitate a part of Lavapies.

The location has a run-down school and the surrounding area needs to be redeveloped. Engineering is growing and therefore would provide a stable job for individuals. The site includes a primary school, secondary school, university, workshops and a range of companies who would use the sites facilities. The idea is for individuals to grow up and learn in the area, then to give back they can work on site.

LAVAPIES LAVAPIES, MADRID

The aim of this project is to rehabilitate a part of Lavapies.

The location has a run-down school and the surrounding area needs to be redeveloped.

After conducting much research, we realised the best outcome would be to create a “technology park� which is a place to educate many age groups about Engineering.

Technical Drawings PLANS, SECTIONS, ELEVATIONS These are the floor plans of the proposed schools, the elevations and sections for the incubation spaces. The two sites are both able to be used by the Primary school and Secondary school where they have a middle ground which is shared between the two. The site has potential to continue growing and develop in the future. The rooftop playground is shared enabling the kids of all ages to interact without the feeling of separation.

Parts of the site are covered with the green roof lattice. This enables the children to have shelter from the sun as Spain’s climate varies

These are some sketches of the site which shows a man made lake flowing through it. The complex lattice shape holding the green roof up is held together through a variety of layers. The contours of the site are also shown through the various layers. The Lattice is joined to the building.

COFFEE ETHIC WOOLWICH, LONDON UK

This company approached us students as we have a unique method of designing. Over several months we began to transform the old building and created a different feel for Woolwich as the area is currently known for its high crime rates.

The company is now a fully functioning business. We had many complications as the client was on a budget. I learnt lots about supplying, costing and getting a grip on the real world and what it could be like to deal with clients.

52

53

Site Visit WALL DESTRUCTION Initial site visit was deciding which walls needed to be taken down in order to brighten up the building. Currently it is rundown and needs much refurbishment. This is based around the corner from Woolwich high street and can be a big opportunity.

There was also lots of furniture which needed to be taken out and dealt with.

After first seeing the site and getting a feel for the surroundings we had begun choosing colour schemes, furniture and getting an initial feel for the site. After several meetings we had narrowed it down to what is shown above.

A bookshelf which contains lit up lattices, books and can be used to store the stools. The tables would draw out like a boat with strings. There would be a bar facing outwards onto the street, a unique shelf opposite the book shelf and wood was considered as the main material for the interior.

54

55

Visuals COLOUR SCHEME Afterwards we spent some time producing some renders showing the client what we wanted the cafe to look like, experimenting with colour, shapes, lights and plants.

In the next meeting the client had liked the renders and gave the thumbs up to create the render on the bottom left with the cream coloured wall. Immediately we began looking for someone to create the piece we wanted, after finally finding somebody to do this he begun immediately after all the electrical works were finished.

Some of the renders in red to show the client the idea in a variety of ways. Ian the client said “The designs are phenomenal, however the red is over powering so lets stick with the cream�.

56

57

Final Piece DEVELOPED Continuing the project we had begun to near the end and see our work coming to life. We designed custom furniture, some custom light fittings, broke some walls, we chose the colour scheme and essentially everything designed was through our team.

NURSERY COMPETITION GREENWICH, LONDON UK

As a child, the garden is the most vital part of their experiences in education as it enables them to learn, explore, and grow where they cannot do so indoors. It gives them a chance to have contact with the seasons, elements and the natural world that we exist in.

The design aims to provide children with an education of the continents, countries and places of the world, giving them a sense of their physical surroundings and their community.

There will be a series of continents with specific countries in each area, involving the many different facts and information on the countires as well as allowing the children to understand the kinds of people, culture, traditions and environments that coexist.

The adaptable structures and environments around them will encourage the children to express themselves physically, intellectually and emotionally, where they can share their thoughts, ideas and feelings when connecting them to each country. It will enable them to have the choice in altering their own surroundings, being creative within themselves and the world around them. Giving the ability in self confidence with a sense of place when moving from one country to another, fulfilling the response in a variety of ways through how they feel, see, hear, touch and smell.

60

61

Visuals ANIMATION Based on our research, ideas, sustainability, feedback, cost and many other factors we had created an animation which takes the client through the site enabling them to fully picture what their new playground would look like.

As we were designing according to continents each play area needed to be designed accordingly. Australia was designed based on the outback rocks in Australia where the children can play with the structures and use them as they wish. This same system applies for each individual continent throughout the site.

62

63

Axonometric DEVELOPED PROPOSAL This is an axonometic of site. We have proposed our structres to the client and recieved some positive feedback. After again being shortlisted we are yet to improve this further so we have a chance in creating this in reality. The total of these structures and rebuilding is ÂŁ13,000.
