Research Agenda and Process Overview Description of Agenda The project research dwells in the development of the powerful inhabitation of osseous alien growth in reaction to representing the existence of the remit esprit soul of Saint Eansywthe .

The project inhabits itself through metaphoric precedents(movies, experiments) these act as mediators and inspirations to the ideology of creating an alien inhabitance to the fabric of the church, this to shoulder and strength the idea of population of osseous growth that is alien responding to creation.

The project eventualizes to pushing the edge through critical fabrication as an experimental research progression to creating a behavioural environment of alienate extraneous manifest through portrayal of the atmospheric pressure of Folkestone Priory -Saint Mary and Saint Eanswythe church.

Research Questions Can we create a behavioural environment of which induces a feeling of alienate extraneous space?

What methodologies and elements (organs) can portray the specific desired foreseen body?

How does an alienate manifest engross itself through the (constitution or perception) of the religious space of Folkestone Priory - Saint Mary and Saint Eanswythe church?

What constituents and elements portray the atmospheric notion of the Folkestone Priory -Saint Mary and Saint Eanswythe church?

Research Statement

Significance and Contribution The draw of project The significance of the project draws attention towards the metaphysical world in meaning towards the alternate being. It aspects itself through interactive methodologies to portray the being ( actuality of space) as to portray the point of initiation of a conceptually mirrored stages of saint’s life. It draws itself through influence from the Saint Mary and Saint Eansywthe church as an object of progression towards research that develops the project’s formation. The project contributes itself from origin the Folkestone church, and forms a body of science fiction towards the idea/place of the metaphysical world.

Methodologies 1.

To Develop alienate organs that become part of space to create environment.

2. To Develop an element that portrays the subsistence of the Folkestone Priory -Saint Mary and Saint Eanswythe church.

3. To Develop a research based architectural design discourse as part project emphasis to the conception of concept

22 Proposal & Context

Design Proposal Proposal - Design Schematic The design proposal moves through a number of stages, which conceptually mirror the church’s fabric but revolves itself through methodology of science fiction. The church fabric forms the basis for this proposal, an interactive spatial object and experience of the alternate world the is perceived through science fiction.

These elements may repulse the viewer, but at the same time will draw people in to walk through the installation. The composition becomes a ghost and demonic alternate vitality that are partly existent within the being and presence of the composition.

The installation draws inspiration formally and in terms of atmosphere from Saint Eanswythe and Mary Church, but will be installed in the School of This interactive space will Architecture engender feelings of transition between life and death, through moving elements, light and atmosphere.

Key technological outcomes of proposal 1.

To represent a part of the protocol of a saint’s life which derived itself from context the church. A composition representing an alternate space through science fiction influence as a metaphor of representing the metaphysical initiate world.

24 Proposal & Content

Design Research Context Field of Work

Work by others

Study of work The field of work was developed through content that brought itself into a conceptual representation from criterion of science fiction films, these films re-altered the original content of Saintry founding.

Science FIction Movies used as a precedent.

Theses inspired the language of design and created morphologies of absolute unusual.

Other work that inspired the design development schematics of project was Philip Beesley.

The Saintry founding was made from the development of research of Saint Mary and Saint The Arrivals Movie Eansywthe Folkestone church context.

Design Methodologies Final project proposal description The use of the conceptual language that was progressed through out the studio year has shaped the different fabrications.

Different forms of precedent have brought forth an atmospheric pressure that acts as a science fiction representation of alternate. The alternate space (composition) ultimately proclaims itself towards the divergent and contrasting.

The terminology of the project was progressed through different anatomic design decisions The space eventually progresses making fabrications to complete itself towards that which an towards composition. implant person ( person in role) can sense and feel, this to show The anatomic designs used a case the possible foreseen conscious and design relative possibility of a living. schematic to develop the language of portrayal of the alternate space.

Critical Design Elements 1.

Perspex Plexi Glass 3mm

2. Polystyrene Vaccum Sheet 0.5 mm 3. Servo motor drivers

27

Conceptual Body and Limb language of Fabrications Design Language Fabrication tectonics The work used inspiration from movies and precedents of conceptual use, these began to inform a language of making and re-form the fabrications into cordial and vulgar fabrications. These eventually began to confirm to a spatial language and re - create objects of strong alternate vitality.

Key technological outcomes of proposal 1.

The language has shaped a distinctive spatial contemporary.

2. The space portrays an initiation, this has been studied through spatial analysis of church.

3. The position of composition portrays itself as divergent entity of existence

Process & Methods

Prototyping and testing Making and forming

A. Element testing

The testing and prototype have been developed through conceptual progress of term. The components have been designed in response to the language of project (concept). The design language was developed in the second term of studio work, this gave a forward towards the language. Testing of prototype took 2 weeks to realise the formations with regard to the servo’s motion , the testing element( Polystyrene black sheet) was tested to fix in a proper way to portray concept.

Design schematics required testing to finding right element execution through testing algorithms of positioning for output motion B. Fixings and bolting Design - plus technical play for fixings and bolting tested to figure number of bolts and widths of fixings.

C. Laser Cutting Plexi Glass Perspex used to cut down components of design body language, detailed testing and composing required to create the compartments.

D. Bio-Plastic The making of bio-plastic took sometime to make, as it required a delicate and technical make-up of different percentages of solutions.

E. Servo Control Servos used a 16 channel controller to control servo motors at similar speed, a requirement for a source of power (less use of power chragers) F. Overall form models

Testing and Fabricates comparts

Design of the components followed a language of design that had already been developed, this in respect to concept.

Review of Outcomes

Dissemination and Future Work ------forward-----The work will be progressed in the future through other means of inspiration of different inhabitation, more proposals will arise from the systems created as a form of changing interoperability of architecture. The Idea is to bring up a website with the studio work as part of a developing scheme for the project. More work will be exploited from the idea and manifest of existing fabric and recreating an analogical langauge of project.
