“The Cartographer in his Cloud”

My final year design project centres around reinterpreting upon criticisms of John Nash’s masterplan in the 21st century.

MASTERPLANNING NEOCLASSICAL SITES @ 1:1000 //

The Institute seeks to solve issues of citywide fragmentation through testing and speculation, with exposition as the merging facet. The architectural strategy embraces the physical reproduction of neoclassical facades within the groundscape, allowing for testbeds of public engagement between the creative user and the public, whereas the roofscape program is driven by the idea of Buckminster Fuller’s Dymaxion; a model on which speculation can occur through internalised map room modules, in addition to the physical parameters of a space frame fractal that floats over site, as an emblem of ‘organised thought’.

The following map denotes the connection of the site to the scattered existing heritage of John Nash’s Grand Tourian work. The various dotted lines and black boxes outlining the connection from the project site to Nash sites, in tandem with the shifting urban axes of Euston, Kings Cross and the Regency’s Outer Circle.

The project will utilise the neighbouring reserves of aggregate left over from the HS2 site towards Euston as the material used to 3D-print, cast and reproduce new Nash elements in the proposed Institute.

“All

technical evolution has a fundamental behaviour pattern. First there is the scientific discovery of a generalised principle, which occurs as a subjective realisation by an experimentally probing individual.

Next the invention is reduced to practice. * * * This gives humanity an increased technical advangtage over the physical environment. If successul as a tool of society, the invention is used in bigger, swifter and everyday ways. For instance, it goes from a little steel steamship to ever-bigger fleets of high-powered ocean giants.”

“American labor will realize that its function is not to increase jobs, but to multiply the wealth and to expand the numbers benefited by the wealth at the swiftest possible rate.””

A tessellation/segment from the original Dymaxion Airocean model - an understanding of the geometry and grid layout.

Date: Autumn, 1990 Location: Lafayette College, Pennsylvania Purpose/Environment: One of the inaugural World Games. A test/simulation of what is to come.

THE CREATIVE USER // WORLD GAME COMPOSITIONAL PAGE

DIGITAL SKETCH COLLAGES // SPACE FRAME EXPERIMENTS

From previous readings of Buckminster Fuller, and in particular his work in ‘Critical Path’, an element of the Dymaxion World Game will be a physical presence and driving factor to the inhabitation of the site.

In order to understand how the cartographers can form an Institute in the Great Portland Street vicinity using the emblematic form of a space frame, a set of digital sketches were used to experiment various forms and typologies in which the creative user’s community can reside.

Through the Dymaxion World Game’s objective to ‘allocate resources efficiently for the greater good of mankind’, various facets of investigation in the institute can be used to pinpoint areas of interest in relation to Nash’s original masterplan. // THE SURVEYOR’S INSTITUTE OF MAPPING AND CASTING //

Nash’s Dymaxion: A Cartographer’s Guide to the Cityscape questions the role of John Nash’s work in the 21st century and ideas of the modern vernacular to understand neoclassical Regency buildings.

Multiple methodologies have been accrued in order to form new urban navigational systems as looking-lenses for the cityscape. Using principles from Buckminster Fuller’s Dymaxion and readings from Gilles Deleuze’s The Pleats of Matter, a series of transient, nomadic modules are proposed to facilitate as migratory ‘Gatehouses’ to the city that survey Nash’s archetypes in terms of scale, orientation and chance.

ENTABLATURE CATALOGUE // NEOCLASSICAL DETAILS

‘THE GESTURE OF ERASURE’ // CARTOGRAPHY EXPERIMENTATION FILM STILLS

Through the vehicle of conjecture, and in mind, the dichotomy of the area, key facades and entablatures were collated from a set of Nash buildings in the Regents’ Street vicinity.

Using readings from Gilles Deleuze’s ‘The Pleats of Matter’, one methodology was to cut into a 1:10000 map of the Regency. As the ‘cartographer’ cuts into the map, new routes of ‘interconnectivity’ are formed; discovering paths of which the creative user can travel across the cityscape, from fragment to fragment - emblematic of the Grand Tourian landscape in the Regency masterplan envisioned by Nash.

As a result, one can study the interconnectivity of spaces and sites within Nash’s vision, through surveying mutual architectural vernacular. // A CARTOGRAPHER’S GUIDE TO THE CITYSCAPE //

DYMAXION COMPOSITE MODEL

THE CARTOGRAPHER’S MODULES

Origami has a role as a constrained discipline; there are a limited number of folds one can make. The process of the composite model and folding creates built forms, necessarily motionless; inducing the perception of motion by suggesting the ‘continual variation’ and ‘perpetual development’ of a form ‘becoming’.

Top: Features of Mk.1: ‘The Cartographer’s Module’; The use of steel composite sheets arrayed on a modular scaffolding system creates a strategy for ‘dislocating vision’ - removing all unnecessary information other than what can be seen from the looking-lens.

In essence, through this narrative, folding in architecture becomes a strategy for ‘dislocating vision’. Here, the Dymaxion Airocean model was folded unconventionally in order to evaluate the model of a traditional cartographic projection.

Bottom: Model photos of Mk.2: ‘The Picturesque’s Viewpoint’; Derived from the original typologies of mast climbing platforms, an elevated viewing system is used for cartographers to survey the macroscopic dichotomy of the Regency.

DECARBONISING THE GRID: LEA VALLEY HYDROPOWER YEAR 2 // SEMESTER 2 TUTORS // CORINNA DEAN + RALUCA CIRSTOC BA(HONS) UNIVERSITY OF WESTMINSTER

Machinery catalogue of the proposed hydropower hub.

As we enter into a new era of the Anthropocene, one must consider the relationship between human conditions and energy typologies. In the context of the site, an urban area such as Three Mills relies on gas and electricity transmission.

The scheme proposes a triptych of activities centred around its main function of providing a renewable source of energy; an interactive hydropower facility, an educational centre that provides governance for clients and shareholders, as well as a storage facility for large pieces of machinery to be showcased. Sitting on the water level, the architecture of the hydropower facility and visitor centres allows for the public to safely circulate throughout the plant, and allows users to gain an direct experience of the inner workings and operations of a hydropower facility. The industrial nature of the scheme is amplified by the materiality, and pays a homage to the existing infrastructure of the neighbouring area, notably the monolithic Victorian gasholder collection in Bromley-by-Bow.

GASHOLDER DETAIL ELEVATION // Heritage investigation; The gasworks, situated off of the Lea Valley, comprised of 7 grade-II listed cast-iron Victorian gasholders - the largest collection of such in the UK. All of the gasometers are decommissioned and awaiting decontamination; made redundant as the modern-day pipe networks can store gas under higher pressures // DECARBONISING THE GRID //

Sitting on the water level, the architecture allows for the public to safely circulate throughout the plant, and allows users to gain an direct experience of the inner workings and operations of a hydropower facility. The transformer room is inaccessible to the public due to the safety of visitors, however a glass screen is implemented to allow for viewing.

The main visitor centre acts as the public core of the development. An educational facility and public realm is proposed, in order for users to gain an understanding of the Canal and River Trust’s initiatives, while providing a community base for gaining knowledge into the important of the River Lea and London’s canal networks.

COMPOSITE ISOMETRIC + SECTION // MACHINERY WAREHOUSE

DETAIL ISOMETRIC + MODEL // SAWTOOTH ROOF DETAIL + DRAINAGE

Situated north-west of the main facilities is the warehouse. Here, functionalism is the driving factor; a large, expansive space for storing larger parts of machinery required for the hydropower plant.

Timber construction such as cross-laminated timber is employed throughout the majority of the structure in order to improve the life cycle of the scheme, with steel structural supports installed for further integrity.

The building follows a close relationship to the connecting promenade and jetties, running parallel to the perimeters in order to allow easy circulation from storage spaces to areas that require maintenance.

The use of a sawtooth roof topology is traditional of quintessential warehouse facilities, in order to minimise the amount of direct light entering, as well as providing suitable drainage.

I was a member of the project’s BIM team through RIBA stages 3-4, where I autonomously worked on a variety of drawing packages using Revit, mainly centering around New Zealand Government spaces. Due to the nature of the Grade-II listed building, there is an unequivocal requirement to retain the stunning existing native hardwood and marathon marble elements, while also completely reconfigurating the majority of spaces.

I was a participant in RIBA Stage 5 during the second phase of construction, where my responsibility was to coordinate all survey and contractor information into a collated Revit model, to provide up-to-date reflected ceiling plans, lighting design options and colour schemes through a variety of visuals on all office floorplates.

I have also worked on superloo designs and liftshaft cladding options/details for various internal and client reviews.

WAITROSE WEST EALING PROFESSIONAL WORK // LIFSCHUTZ DAVIDSON SANDILANDS

Composite bay studies of south elevation options from main road.

Bay study options for build-to-rent tower levels

The project comprises of a redevelopment of the existing Waitrose site in West Ealing to provide ~430 build-to-rent homes above an improved store space; this will be owned and managed by JLP as part of their brand-new £500m joint venture for BTR developments. This is supported with a new public realm, commercial floorspace and residential amenities, in addition to integrated car parking and servicing areas.

Contract value = £190 million.

I was a participant during RIBA Stage 3, where my main responsibilities lied in presentation materials in preparation for planning submission and optioneering exercises for the adjacent mews block and amenity spaces within the proposal. In addition, I developed various elevation options alongside an architect for the main approach to the development from West Ealing Station.

Proposed site plan, plans and sections of adjacent mews block options.
