Here is week ones schedule, it is aimed at using the MCR town hall as a provocation for how one may go about re-using the waste materials it has. Our first week will focus on research — inspiring the creation of a document (template) of which will contain a guideline for how one may design for re-use in any future development of an existing building. We are all looking forward to see how the rest of the week goes with the outcome of the document.

Another successful day working with team 28, all contributing to the project. We have formulated an 'output schedule' for the 2 weeks, first week prioritising on the framework document, whilst the second week focuses on applying the document to our own design projects.
Keep updated on the progress of this project.

DAY 3,

After the morning presentation with Liam, we started to identify loose and fixed materials within the Manchester Town Hall. After specific materials were hinted and selected the BA and MArch spent time researching around them in regards to possible ways we can re-use, re-purpose, and re-cycle them.
This researching around the materials pointed at important questions for us all to attribute to the development of the framework, creating a standardised way of sorting the quality of sustainability the materials within the Town Hall have.

DAY 4

After researching the sustainability of materials further, we started to question the reusability, recyclability, and repurposing of Metal. We started to formulate a flow diagram (framework) for identifying how sustainable metals are.
On the topic of finding alternatives to recycling metals, Harrison (a BA student within the group) mentioned how he had previous experience on using old Ductwork to create a Lifesize instillation model

DAY 4

Another material we spent time analysing in regards to its sustainability was Tiles. We spent time questioning how to reuse, recycle, and repurpose this material, creating this framework to use when examining the process of other tiles.
This is a Flow diagram curated by Miruna.

Here is week twos schedule, it is closely related to the previous week where we created a framework to analyse the sustainability of materials and identifying how we can reuse the elements extracted from the town hall.

This week we will use the framework to help us create temporary Pavilions outside the MCR town hall. This will be located on the Alberts Square. Using the research from last week we will apply this to the methodology of the Pavilion, where the identification of how the structure will be created, where the materials are taken from, and the cradle-to-cradle approach will be specified in the output.

We are all looking forward to seeing how the rest of the week goes with the outcome of the Project.

DAY 6

We have been identifying similar precedence for projects that have reused materials that are also temporary structures, this created the awareness for what type of Pavilions we were starting to design. Here we have 2 examples of group 28s work, where the precedence mentioned has been analysed working out how the cradle-to-cradle approach would work with its project.

The objective is to identify how it would become a break space in the Albert Square whilst reusing and repurposing materials from the MCR Town Hall.

DAY 7

Following on from day 6, we finished looking at similar precedence for projects that have reused materials that are also temporary structures. Here we have 2 examples of group 28s work, where the precedence mentioned has been elaborated on.

DAY 7

From the researching of relevant precedence in regards to the reusability of materials from the town hall, we now have started to work on the designing of the pavilions, braking off into 2 teams where we are closely working together.

Here is one of the concepts we have designed, reusing the materials from the town hall, and framing unique bespoke items within recycled steel box mesh frames. This narrative is to create a place to dine whilst celebrating the opening of the Town hall in 2024.

WEEK 1 FRAMEWORK

Within the first week, group 28 worked on creating a framework that would enable us to identify how to distribute the 'waste' from the TOWN HALL. We broke the framework down into identifying the sustainability of the materials found. Furthermore, we also attempted to find the most efficient alternative to reusing, recycling, and reclaiming the materials.

For this Framework Flowchart we were identifying the sustainability route of Wood.
