Micro-community For Labor Exchange

For the new design in response to the high level of unemployment in Burnley, the building is designed to enhance the professional skills of young people through labour exchange and to provide a space for young people to start their own businesses and to display and sell their products, and to strengthen the link between the building and the other side of the river, bringing people from the west side directly into the building and increasing the public character of the building. Twisted blocks have been added to integrate the landscape resources of the site. It also increases the natural landscape and public activities along the river in the site.

In the new design there are three escape staircases in the basement in addition

building, and the interior has been increased with a high ceiling space to increase the interaction between the spaces. This has led to better design decisions and much better light levels and quality of space for the commercial space.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

This atelier is driven by creativity and focussed around making more inclu- sive cities and city spaces.

The projects undertaken within this portfolio are in response to Gibson Graham’s ‘Take Back the Economy’ & MANPLAN and current Levelling Up plans proposed by Conservative UK gov- ernment. These combined have highlighted the need to develop alternative strategies focussed on community economies and correcting existing privileges existing within society and the built environment.

“A community economy makes and shares a commons - without a commons, there is no community, without a community, there is no commons.”

Stephen Gudeman, The Anthropology of Economy

and Skills Post-pandemic conducted by the Institute for Employment Studies (IES) and the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) that the gap between older and younger overrepresented in sectors where employment is chronically low, and that more than the Burnley area in particular, the take-up rates of out-of-work Universal Credit receipt among young people is 88% higher than the national level. Overall, young people accounted for nearly half (46%) of the total fall in employment in employment compared with other age groups – with employment still more than 6% Therefore, in the post-epidemic era, restoring the economy to increase employment has become a primary concern. Young people are more involved in the economy of the Burnley community. When young people become actors in the economy is not only conducive to driving vitality within the site, young people can also gain practical skills that are conducive to future career development, while enabling the elderly and disabled people within the site to receive help, driving the community's economic development and restoring the economy.

RESEARCH QUESTION

In the post-pandemic era, How community can help young people to improve practice skills to boost employment rate and help the economy recover?

Function:

Aim:

Co-working Space & studio

EVERYONE IS A MAKER.

The Exchange is building a community of makers, everyone who lived in Burnley could participate.

Young people can exchange labour and learn vocational skills while using their abilities to help more people on the site, for example, young people can help older people with manual tasks or things like translation that require all their abilities, while older people can help younger people walk their dogs or look after their children while they are at work or working late. Not only will it help young people to have more hands-on experience, but it will also increase the interaction of the residents in the venue and drive the vitality of the town.

DOG WALKING

The demographic chart shows that Burnley also has a large proportion of older people, but the lifestyle of older people is relatively homogeneous and going to the park is one of their most important daily activities. Increasing activities between older people and the community enriches the lives of older people and can also lead to a vibrant community

Due to the lack of light space in the semi-basement due to the closed western wall, consideration was given to opening up the western wall to increase light and additional windows good light conditions. Poor light conditions to the south, increase the light interface to the south for better light conditions. Good light conditions on the north side, consider retaining the present state.

The building is along the river and has more potential for landscaping. There is also larger open space to the north of the sitewith the exception of a factory building in the south-east corner, which is relatively open and low enough not to block light. There is also plenty of parking in the vicinity, which is highly accessible and easy for residents to access.

Design concept

The picture show the master plan of cuckoomill in 1851. To the east is a row of ‘club houses’. But it has now been demolished.

On the gable end wall at the Royle Road end of the building, can be seen the height of the former buildings that used to run up the rest of Blackburn Street, the houses of Robert Varley and Ambrose Wilson in the These houses were provided for the families of workers who were working in the factories at the time. After the factory was abandoned, the houses were naturally demolished.

The renovation of the site follows the history with the extension of the new building on the east side. Cockoo mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated listed buildings. The integrity of the cuckoo mill can be preserved The extension has been modernised to enhance the contrast between the old and new buildings and to increase the visual impact. Integrating historic buildings with modern architecture inclusiveness of the site. Attract more people to the venue for activities.

Design idea

Opening up the existing western extension to the enter the building and the new eastern building to link to the main building. Enhances the continuity of the whole space.

The cottage houses in the picture were the last relics of what were known as the ‘Club Houses’, which backed on to Brown Street.

Design idea

In order to highlight the contrast between the existing building and the extension building, the material of the extension is made of concrete, modernising it with the classicism of the existing building. The interior of the existing building is a continuation of the original timber structure, with the use of reclaimed timber from burnley, taking into account the sustainability of timber and environmental considerations, which greatly reduces environmental pollution and construction noise. Green concrete was used for the concrete for better sustainable Environment

Located on the north-center of Portugal, the house was meant to combine the rural and the urban lifestyle. The existent stone ruins, vestige were the main aspects for the new project. The construction, even if they are connected inside. A stone volume represents the existent building; a concrete volume the new one. The second principle was to introduce light in the middle of the house. entrance, and the heart of the house – the courtyard.

In organizing the exhibition Bad Thoughts, the has tried to represent the experience of collection spatially. The various rooms are organized in such fashion that each visitor must decide its own route. By leaving the connections open, the visitor becomes the author of his or her own path, thus creating personal connections and insights.

Outside the house is a glass box of grey space you immediately see that light and spaciousness formed the basis for the design.

A completely open space with a view but also an interior space, one can also use it as a meeting and relaxation space.

Good as a transitional space to introduce people to the interior.

The transparency of the space gives people more opportunities to choose their paths and the interweaving of spaces adds to the vitality of the building.

Green concrete substitutes a portion of that cement sand with more eco-friendly materials that have equally cementitious properties. These replacement materials are usually industrial and manufacturing by-products from coal power plants, ground granulated blast slag, or slag cement from steel mills,silica fume leftover in electric and waste glass, rice husk ash, burnt clay, sawdust, foundry sand.

Advantages of Green Concrete

Less Energy Usage

Fewer Emissions

Good thermal and acid resistance

Better compressive and cracking strength

Green concrete requires less maintenance and repairs

Disadvantages of green concrete

Life than structures with conventional concrete

Water absorption is high

Split tension of green concrete is less than that of conventional concrete

Therefore, the use of green concrete reduces CO2 emissions, reduces energy consumption and reduces the pressure on the environment. This eco-friendly design gives a balance between nature and building structures.

cultivating food on the rooftop of buildings is sometimes referred to as rooftop farming. Rooftop farming is usually done using green roof, hydroponics, aeroponics or air-dynaponics systems or container gardens. Many communities make community gardening accessible to the public, providing space for citizens to cultivate plants for food, recreation and education. Community gardens give citizens the opportunity to learn about horticulture through trial and error and get a better understanding of the process of producing food and other plants.

The separation of the two blocks allows for a more in-and-out relationship, and the section along the street can also form a transitional space. A spatial transition can also be created with counterpoint to the existing building.

3.Separation

In order to avoid blockage of views, a one-storey volume was added to meet the building to the east, creating a transitional space and opening up views.

The design of the landscape structure attracts pedestrian orientation of the north-east entrance also serves to divide the outdoor activity. At the same time a small volume is added at opposite bank directly into the site.

The existing building is a more enclosed space and is functionally oriented towards studio, and co-working space, while the addition is oriented towards outward facing commerce, with some of the studio's products available for sale to the public in the shop. The public and external nature of the addition also allows for better light conditions in the space

The existing building is more enclosed, so the inward-facing spaces are designed to direct people's activities into the atrium.

The addition part, on the other hand, is the opposite of the existing building, with spaces oriented outwards to attract crowds and with transitional spaces at the front and rear.

The existing building has an atrium as its core, which spreads out into the surrounding space in the form of a windmill-like space The atrium space is a space where people meet and move.

The main function of the addition is external commercial space, so large open spaces are designed to give people a better shopping experience.

The interior transition space is set at the intersection of the existing building and the addition, connecting the atrium activity space to the commercial space.

the old building, where the relatively quiet and private spaces provide more opportunities for young people to learn and to gain practical experience through labour exchange, as well as more opportunities for Social. It also provides some open spaces to give young people more opportunities to showcase themselves and drive community vibrancy, especially after the impact of the COVID-19. Green space is also a very important design point in the site, enriching the biodiversity of the site and reducing carbon emissions.
