SITE LOCATION

HOUSE DENSITY

The site is located at Marylebone, the heart of the City of Westminster.

The data shows the City of Westminster is the ‘under performing’ borough in terms of house density and carbon dioxide emission.

AVERAGE INCOME

TRANSPORT + CO2

People living in City of Westminster have significant higher average income than other London boroughs, most clients are able to afford high price land values in City of Westminster.

The diagram suggests that a green space is encouraged to be built in the site. A market with sustainable a green roof is a great opportunity to promote the concept.

Extolling the virtues of local farm products and a sense of community, the green covered market takes its place in the dynamic of urban life in Marylebone. This project is to design a covered market in Moxon Street, Marylebone, Central London. It investigates the potential communities, users and context of the existing market, in order to discover a new typology of a covered market in Moxon Street.

EXISTED FARMERS’ MARKET

PROPOSED FARMERS’ MARKET

As the name suggested from “Reinvent Marylebone”, the project intends to make more connections between local market and communities, to create a market roof with greenery public space and an educational garden for two schools at the site.

With an average of 40 stalls, Marylebone is one of the biggest farmers’ temporary market in London. Majority of products sold are edible farmers’ products: such as vegetables, etc.

The statistic result shows that vegetables and fruits product have high demand and much more opportunities by local people. Hence, the proposed market is selling vegetable and fruits.

REINVENT MARYLEBONE DISCOVER A GREEN COVERED MARKET IN CENTRAL LONDON Third Year, First Semester Academic Project Tutor: Bruce Irwin, Catherine Phillips

Hydroponic grass growing on roof top.

Timber Layer absorb the noise from market.

MARKET STALLS

SUPPLYING AREA

The deployable market table is integrated as the roof structure when the market is closed. The open space under the roof would be used as a playground for children or an open concert for office people surrounded the site.

A retaining wall blocks the market supplying area at the back, blocking noise and unpleasant views from market. The area is also used for Waitrose supplying area as well.

Steel column supports the roof structure.

HYDROPONIC CLASSROOM

GARDEN EXTENSION

A retaining wall blocks the market supplying area at the back, blocking noise and unpleasant views from market. The area is also used for Waitrose supplying area as well.

The proposal extends the garden landscape towards to the site, not only it introduces green landscape in central London, but also office people can eat their lunch more pleasantly in that area.

F: Water trough to collect excess water and to release water via evaporation during hot days.

G: Steel superstructure.

Grass growing in sponge, roots are irritated with water, packed in rigid / honeycomb holes. The construction technique would be used on the highlighted area above.

This ensures the roots anchor themselves during the later stages of growth during the tournament and hold rigidity once held flush with the gauze.

ARCHITECTURAL MOTIF

VERTICAL CIRCULATION

Auditorium is the highlight of the building, symbolizes the ‘vessel of art and knowledge’ inside the building. The performance space is the visible volume from outside.

The vertical circulation not only streamlined the proposal, but also made the audience feeling a sense of ‘going up’ to see the performance.

SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION

LANDSCAPE CONNECTION

The building core is located at the ‘blind spot’ of the building, while the private spaces are supporting the public space, in order to have a great performance to the public.

The ground floor and viewing platform has the clear views towards to the park. It brings urban context and garden landscape into the building.

02

‘PLAY IS THE WORK OF THE CHILD’ THEATRE AS THE THIRD TEACHER

CORE PUBLIC SPACE PRIVATE SPACE

Third Year, Second Semester Academic Project Tutor: Bruce Irwin, Catherine Phillips The project takes a philosophical and theoretical path in searching for an alternative classroom typology for children in Marylebone, Central London. It takes the essence of drama activities in researching for a theatre teaching space combined with Montessori’s teaching philosophy in The St Marylebone C.E School.

The research into the educational theatre reveals the weakness of contemporary classroom typology, which draws sharp and unhelpful physical and psychological boundaries between spaces, play and learning. As Maria Montessori said, “play is the work of the child”. Hence, the proposal is to modify the traditional teaching typology, linking the knowledge with UK’s educational curriculum.

GREEN-UP NORTHERN PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE PROJECT IN EXHIBITION JIELIU RIVER, SHENZHEN.

PEDESTRIAN ROUTE ONE PEDESTRIAN ROUTE TWO BICYCLE ROUTE

Works in AECOM (Shenzhen Office) Team Leader: Stone (Tong Sheng) Shen The Exhibition Jieliu River Project is one of the AECOM major landscape project in Shenzhen, China. The site is located at the north of Shenzhen International Airport, plays a crucial part of the world’s largest convention and exhibition center’s landscape. The Northern Pedestrian Bridge connects commercial blocks on both sides of the Exhibition River, towards to the entrance of the New Exhibition Center. Thus, the design comprises three bridge bodies, two of them overpasses the river, creates two different user experiences and circulation. One of them overpasses street, connects commercial blocks next to the New Exhibition Center.

CIRCULATION

The design of the viewing platform allows people having great views towards to the Commercial and Fountain Plaza.

Circulation design allows people goes to commercial stores directly from east bank side. The bicycle lane is also designed for bicycle users.
