Exploring Interaction Patterns between Infrastructure and Human Behaviour at Manchester Piccadilly Station
Supervisor:
Deljana Iossifova (Professor)
Abstract:
This dissertation looks at how infrastructure and human behaviour interact at the Manchester Piccadilly station, an important part of Manchester's transport network. Using a multifaceted research methodology, including passenger surveys, behavioural recording and online data analysis, the study aims to reveal the complex interactions at one of Manchester's busiest stations. The research examines the station's history, layout, and how it serves as a place for business, social activities, and leisure, beyond just being a transport hub. Key findings highlight how the station's design and services influence user behaviour and movement, with distinctive patterns emerging at peak travel times and weekends reflecting its dual function as a commuter hub and leisure destination. By closely examining how railway stations and urban life are interdependent, this study provides important ideas for urban planning, improving the user experience and developing future transport centres.

The scheme is designed for a small cultural exhibition hall located along the Jialing River in Chongqing, China. Future Urban Design
THESIS STATEMENT
In a future marked by heightened geological activity, frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions disrupt global climates and ecosystems, with cascading effects impacting even nonactive regions like the UK. This project explores how urban design can foster resilient ecological cities by integrating human, plant, and animal needs. Through multi-layered green spaces, wildlife corridors, and adaptive infrastructure, the design envisions sustainable urban environments that thrive amidst environmental shocks, promoting biodiversity, ecological inclusivity, and harmonious coexistence.

Initialization (Input: site boundary)
The boundary of the site is extracted as the primary input geometry
This defines the spatial extent and serves as the reference frame for rasterizing the site into a regularized grid system. This step establishes a standardized data domain for further processing.
Road-Informed Segmentation (Input: road network)
The internal road network, including primary and secondary roads, is used to subdivide the site through topological splitting. Two parallel data sets are generated:
A macro-zoning boundary derived from the site outline.
A finer set of subzones generated through road-based Boolean segmentation forming an internal block structure.
Grid Generation (Output: dual grid structures)
The previous data sets are converted into two adaptive grid systems:
A functional zoning grid, aligned with the site boundary, used for landuse distribution.
A road-responsive grid, aligned with the internal circulation logic, optimized for urban massing placement and volumetric computation.
COMPUTATIONAL TOOL
Massing Distribution Based on Spatial Layers
Building heights are assigned through two layered proximity analyses:
Ecological-based
This dual-logic produces a hybrid z-height matrix , balancing circulation intensity and ecological sensitivity.
Using Wallacei as an evolutionary solver, multiple generations of massing configurations are computed. The fitness objectives include:
Maximizing functional coverage
Minimizing ecological disruption
Enhancing spatial permeability
The output is a
Measures environmental quality through biodiversity and ecosystem services.
DESIGN OUTCOMES
ITERATIVE EVOLUTION OVERVIEW
This series of iterations shows how urban massing evolves from development-focused solutions to more ecology-oriented configurations. Guided by a multi-objective algorithm, the design gradually reduces ecological conflict by adjusting building density and location, especially near green corridors. The final outcomes reflect a balanced integration of urban needs and ecological performance.

02.WATER VILLAGE
The project focuses on the adaptive retrofit and reuse of the over 100 years old Edwardian building-Withington Baths in South Manchester. Retrofit of Withington Bath
Withington Baths has a foundation stone dated 11th November 1911.The building was designed by Henry Price, a City Council architect, who also designed Victoria Baths. OPEN DAY
Withington Baths opened its doors to the public in 1913. The opening day attracted 500 visitors from all over Lancashire.
FIRST MIXED BATH SESSION
Withington Baths became the first Baths in Manchester to allow mixedgender bathing. Although this would be seen as progressive today, at the time it attracted a certain extent of scandal. GREAT COMPROMISE
SWOT—— BUILDING ANALYSIS
1. Function: The bath accommodates a variety of activities that are in high demand by locals.
2. Circulation: People can get to the bath by different ways easily.
3. Nature: Various kinds of plants can be found within the site.
4. User group: The functions are set to meet the needs of different age groups, from kids to the old.
5. The local have a strong sense of participation and belonging.
The baths faced a great compromise in the 1990s, as the Council cut leading to one of its interior pools being drained and boarded over.
1. Function: There is no flexible communication space to make people stay longer.
2. Circulation: Some aisles are too narrow to let two people pass at the same time.
3. Landscape:
a. The inner courtyard is not open to the public.
b. Windows on the northeast side are sealed, there is no communication between indoor and outdoor.
c. The small houses next to the baths blocked the view and circulation.
COUNCIL AND PROTEST
The Council announced the withdrawal of funding, as they planned to open a new leisure center. The community protested with a march and petitioned (with over 8,000 signatures), resulting in a 2-year reprieve until the opening of the new center.
COUNCIL AND PROTEST
Love Withington Baths community group took over the management of the building. They managed to secure a ￡ 81,700 fund from the Heritage Lottery Fund and a 23,000 fund from the Council to refurbish the Baths.
1. Function: The existing swimming pool and gym include relatively complete facilities and are suitable for continued use.
2. Space: There are many large open spaces inside the bath, which facilitates people's concentrated activities.
3. Outdoor: The bath area includes a spacious inner courtyard and parking lot, which is suitable for outdoor activity areas shared by people and nature.
COUNCIL AND PROTEST
Love Withington Baths still manages the building under a 30-year lease from Manchester City Council. All profits are given back to the Baths for the restoration, maintenance, and facilities of the building.
1. Repair: At present, many places are old and need to be repaired, which will cause difficulties in renovation.
2. Circulation: Many internal circulation lines are very narrow, which will hinder the smooth progress of collective activities.
3. Connection: The inner courtyard and parking area are very dilapidated and have poor connectivity with the interior of the bathing area, which will cause difficulties in sharing internal and external spaces.

The scheme is designed for a small cultural exhibition hall located along the Jialing River in Chongqing, China. Cultural Centre of ShuiTu
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to avoid civil war and strive for peace, the National Government and the Communist Party of China held a 43-day peace negotiation in Chongqing, known as the "Chongqing Negotiation" in history.
Chongqing was restored as a municipality directly under the central government and became the fourth municipality directly under the central government in China after Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai, which opened a new page in the history of Chongqing's construction and development.
Chongqing was opened as a commercial port, and Chongqing Customs was established near Chaotianmen, becoming the first batch of inland trading ports in China open to the world.
After becoming the "wartime capital", Chongqing became the political, military, economic and cultural center of the rear of China during the Anti-Japanese War, the political stage of the Anti-Japanese National United Front, and the Far East Command Center of the World Anti-Fascist War.
To build a public space with supporting services for Sandu Wharf, to provide a place for cultural display and leisure for citizens and tourists, and to solve the problem of food and accommodation for some crew members, so as to experience the car ferry and continue the original old Chongqing culture. So as to promote the revival and development of both sides of the strait.

Beibei Sansheng Shuitu Ferry is the only public welfare car ferry currently in operation in Chongqing. In Chongqing with increasingly developed traffic and vertical and horizontal bridges, this traditional way of vehicles crossing the river still exerts its huge convenience and is known as the "living bridge on the river".
Shuituo Street is named Shuitutuo because of the flow of Jialing River to form Tuowan, and because the river flows into the river to stir up the river to cause sediment to accumulate on the bank, hence the name Shuitutuo.
RIVERSIDE FACADE
Diaolou is a special kind of Chinese residential building, named after its shape resembling a bunker, and has a strong regional distribution in China. In different places, people have different architectural styles and artistic pursuits for different purposes such as war and defense.
Sansheng Highway Service Station is a public space with supporting services beside the wharf, providing a place for cultural display and leisure for citizens and tourists.
The bucket-type frame is a form of wooden frame in ancient Chinese buildings. This kind of frame is directly supported by columns without beams. The practice of using the column to support the purlin of the buckettype frame may have a certain relationship with the early longitudinal frame and has a long history.
Chongqing Bangbang refers to people who live on a stick. Chongqing, which is built on the mountain in the blending of the two rivers, is developing rapidly towards an international metropolis. It still needs to climb the hills to walk through the streets, so there is a special professional group of "bangbang".

TIMELINE OF CHINESE FILM DEVELOPMENT
China's first independently filmed film: a fragment of "Dingjun Mountain" filmed in Beijing in 1905.
The first film screening in China: a Western film screened in "Yu Yi Village" in Xuyuan, Shanghai in 1896.
The three state-owned film companies, Northeast Film Studio, Peiping Film Studio and Shanghai Film Studio established successively in the second industrial period, took the first step for the new Chinese film industry at the turning point of history.
Bruce Lee, from 1940 to 1973, was the founder of kung fu films, a Chinese martial arts film actor, and the first global promoter of Chinese kung fu. In 1973, Bruce Lee wrote, directed and acted in the film "Way of the Dragon".
Jackie Chan, born in Hong Kong, China in 1954, entered the film industry in 1971 and starred in famous films such as "Rumble in the Bronx", "Rush Hour" and "Police Story". In 2016, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 89th Academy Awards.
The third climax of Chinese martial arts action films appeared in the early 1980s.
"The Shaolin Temple" starring Jet Li in 1982 really set off the third climax of martial arts action films.
The martial arts action movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", released in 2000, was the first film in the history of Chinese-language films to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Remodeling of the natural environment under the apocalyptic desolation
The scheme is designed for a bird conservation skyscraper in the Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary,Senegal.
In the past two centuries, the industrial expansion of human beings has been extremely fast, occupying the living environment of many organisms, and the released pollution has seriously endangered the survival of various organisms.
Deforestation will make all kinds of birds lose their living space, and the reduction of vegetation will also exacerbate the occurrence of severe natural disasters.
Air pollution is one of the most widespread and serious pollution phenomena in the world today, which directly affects the respiratory function and visibility of birds.
Ocean pollution is one of the common pollutions. The random disposal of garbage and the leakage of harmful substances such as oil will cause indelible fatal damage to marine life.
The excessive growth of the population continues to occupy the habitat of birds, and it also makes the pollution of light and noise increasingly serious. These phenomena in the city will directly affect the flight safety of birds.
Global warming is one of the phenomena that humans are most concerned about today. The melting of glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic and rising sea levels will cause harm to the whole world. Humans have also taken many measures to curb this phenomenon.
Both soil pollution and garbage pollution will cause harm to life on land. For example, the death of vegetation will deteriorate the living environment of birds, and birds will easily die if they eat garbage discarded by humans.

The proposal is a post-war eco-urban design project set in the future after local wars due to climate issues, adjacent to Chongqing University in Chongqing, China.
The practice of war has given birth to a new form of warfare—information warfare.
With the emergence and promotion of metal smelting technology, coupled with the widespread distribution of metal minerals, mankind has entered the era of cold weapon wars, and the scale of wars has continued to expand. This pattern dominated much of Eurasia for more than 2,000 years.
