Salt Spa

Site - Tilbury Marshes Year 2 - University of Greenwich, Ba Architecture 2019 Tutors - Jen Wan & Mark Hatter

The spa offers a wide range of beauty and therapeutic treatments which use the locally produced salt. Clientele are encouraged to take part in the salt making process and even witness its evolution over time - outside salt baths occupy neighbouring plots adjacent to salt pans. Inside the facility, salt is encouraged to grow on the structure and can even offer privacy in the form of screens, dependant on the privacy levels required. Within this environment, this ever growing, ever changing form slowly alters one’s perception of a space in distance and clarity. Paired together with the atmospheric conditions created by the steam and condensation produced as a byproduct from the treatments, together with the salt screens creates a truly unique blurred and intimate space.

Internal View of Salt Spa A Series of Internal Humidity Images

A view from inside the spa pool and its internal features. For example, one of the copper screens provides privacy, whilst the other utilises its design in providing copper pipes which not only supply water for the cleansing palette between pools but also generates steam for therapeutic benefits. This also represents the ‘directed views’ created by the external copper fins which overlook the salt pans and their reflective qualities. Surrounding marshlands and the Thames Estuary with land mass in the distance are also depicted.

65% Humidity

The images are representative of the atmospheric climates within the spa pools with the use of my 1:50 scale model. I have portrayed different levels of humidity in order to demonstrate how the steam and condensation affects visibility; masking your views to some degree of the surrounding pools and external salt pans.

Overlay of Drawings and Acetate with Varying Thicknesses This hand drawn image offers a view from above looking down into one of the salt pools, encompassing the copper screens and rods that surround the pool’s perimeter.

These images are representative of the blurry atmosphere within the spa that one might experience. I This iteration allowed me to visually represent what the crystals would look like when light was projected underneath it.

Internal View of Salt Spa A Series of Salt Crystallisation

Atmospheric view of internal salt pools, with crystalised salt screens.

An experiment demonstrating the full extent (coverage) of salt crystallisation over a solid object. The photos show its final appearance which had evolved over a period of several months.

Creature Comforts

Micro-Tannery/Leather Workshop Site - 9 Orford Road, Walthamstow, E17 9LP Year 3 - University of Greenwich, Ba Architecture 2019 Tutors - Jen Wan & Mark Hatter

The intent was to design a hybrid home, one that accommodates the domestic element as well as a micro-tannery/leather workshop. The dwelling is located in a village in Walthamstow, North East, London, where archaic atmospheres evoke a sense of a bygone age. An ancient craft - leather production provides a luxurious material and is incorporated into the building to summon a sense of comfortability amongst its inhabitants.

Ritual My second iteration of the table; I decided to produce a more robust and visually complementary version - comprising of brass rods, varying in diameter which were connected to one another at 90 and 45 degree angles by a series of nodes made from Sapele wood. This latex table acts as a platform of life, encapsulating moments and the passing of time. Therefore, I decided to expand upon the installation and create other fragments from the surrounding environment such as - lamp shade (with bulb), original table leg, part of a chair, part of the floor (with shoelace) etc. The latex table has been fully stretched and stitched to the frame to emulate the rigidity of a table top. Other elements have been stitched and hung in this nature to show a semi—permanent and theatrical aspect. To further develop the ritual of tea and the human intervention, I decided to create a latex arm which would control the teapot - imitating life. Personal qualities such as the ring on the index finger and shoelace add nuances to the piece.

Through this site section, I have tried to portray the vibrations and continual movement of the train line.

This shaking movement, could in some way, affect the proposed architecture above it and should be taken into consideration as this could impact and be part of the building’s feature. The entanglement of electric wires overhanging the train line are reminiscent of my suspended elements from above and below my latex table.

The interior shots capture the atmosphere and main elements within the micro-tannery. Whilst highlighting the colourful and warm nature of the fabric held in suspension as the hides dry from the air emitting from the crevice below. The vertical flaps and the hint of a staircase bring about the suggestion of a dwelling located above into the design.

Within this drawing, I tried to capture the feel and material qualities of leather used. Portrayal of the vibrating nature within the scheme to show that this build is a living, breathing entity. The undulating roof and fan awnings are held in tension by the graduating secondary steel structure.

Providing a strong sense of ‘comfort’ and security within the scheme which is very important as this is not only the protagonist’s place of work but also his home.

These are my final plans drawn at 1:50, exploring the nature of the roof within the 22 scheme and its materialistic nature (PTFE fabric); hence the stitching and collaged qualities, that have been gradually developing throughout the project. I have added diagonal cross-bracing within the secondary steel structure (dashed lines, 2nd floor) for additional support. This is shown in the 1:50 long section along with a gradual decrease in the gradient of the above frame. The other aspect within the scheme that I wanted to highlight was the different levels of vibration intensity that exists within the design. The levels have been determined by the functionality of the space.

This is the final section where I cranked my section line to display all of the internal activities and functions happening within the micro-tannery, workshop, tea room and dwelling. I hope I have captured the essence and spirit of this project, to present it in its full glory, whilst embracing the nature of the hides and letting nothing go to waste.

I have tried to recapture, the craft of a skill from a bygone age, bringing it into the modern day. Embracing the living animal, the building moves and vibrates due the train situated beneath the site (shown fully not in section with partial portrayal of wind tunnels which aid in this process). Much like a heart beat, this is a living breathing machine - ‘A Creature of Comforts’.

Vibrating Scaled Apparatus, Mimicking the Building’s Structure Plan

The technical focus for my project was concerned with the involvement and containment of the train vibrations sourcing from the overground train line that is situated beneath the site. The building’s design program is a ‘house and micro-tannery/leather workshop’. The use of the latex and leather materials which have been widely incorporated throughout my experimentation phases have understandably become significant in the buildings interior and exterior architectural envelope. The materials served as the initial impetus for the schemes program.

The purpose of the experiments was to investigate the implementation of various earthquake proof technologies in terms of structure and how they intend to be incorporated throughout the build. Allowing for the oscillations to be dealt with to varying degrees of movement in different areas of the scheme and to what affect this would have on the materiality involved within the construction. My decision to label the project ‘Creature Comforts’, centres around the concept that living animals are never stationary, they are in continual movement however minute - breathing, moving. Similarly this building is a living, breathing dwelling and therefore it should have differing degrees of oscillation within. Hence the marriage between the materilaity and the vibrations of the scheme a living breathing entity.

I carried out a series of experiements to determine which earthquake proof technologies would best fit for varying degrees of oscillation within my design due to the underground tunnel. The vibration box was altered in variety of ways ie. with the addition of either motor or fan and motor.

Socially Distanced Seating Set-Up ‘Close From Afar’ was centred around exploring the relationship between one another as well as the materials that bind us. The installation was constructed with Greenwich students and consisted of various sculptural formations constructed from waste materials sourced from neighbouring construction sites.
