Day 04- Drawing activity by the locals of Tyldesly

The lively spirit of Tyldesley!

The activity booth received warm engagements from the Tyldesley community. Many were critical of what they would like in Ponky's park, as the space has a lot of sentimental value. Numerous responses were collected on the engagement day, aiding the development of our design for Ponky's park.

Day One - Introduction
In the morning, March students gave a quick presentation of the project and introduced themselves. Then, undergraduate students introduced themselves and explained why they chose this project. Then, we started to research precedents and brainstormed our ideas regarding all the possibilities we could do with the moats and buildings. And all students were divided into two groups for discussion. Finally, we gathered and presented our ideas. It was great to learn more about our colleagues’ ideas and thoughts. This activity was a good opportunity to welcome and create an inclusive atmosphere. It was also a great way to work in teams and have interaction with each other.

Day Four - Massing Development and Model Making
In the morning, students began sketching initial ideas for the layout, massing and exterior of the event space. Beforehand we showed the students some precedent images as well as our own initial sketches to give an idea of the direction which the design was going in. We then grouped together to share ideas, through this activity we decided on the massing and layout of the new building. We also had a number of ideas for the exterior materiality which we would develop further the following week. Simultaneously, a number of students worked on an initial model of the site.

In the afternoon, March students held another tutorial of Rhino, creating a file which was to be laser cut, creating a second site model. This one depicted a section of the moat in higher detail. Students also developed the drawings from earlier that day, to combine ideas, producing a final floorplan.

Posted 15 May 2023 11:04

Day Three - Site Analysis
In the morning, students developed the site maps to create a more engaging depiction of the existing site. Clayton Hall is an exciting location, and we wanted the site maps to convey this. Students also created new maps which analysed the current use of the surrounding buildings, methods of transport and vegetation of the surrounding area of the site. Students then shared their maps with the class and what they learnt about the site and how this changed their opinion of the project.

In the afternoon, March students gave a tutorial to the class on how to use the software Rhino. In the tutorial we created a model of the existing site, this was an informal tutorial where students collectively gave input, sharing ideas and methods of how to model a landscape.

Day Two - Site Visit
In the morning, we met at Piccadilly Gardens and travelled together by bus to Clayton Hall. We were met by two of the trustees who gave us a tour of the inside of the building and explained the issues they currently had. With some further questions, we clarified that they would like this building to fit in with the Tudor/Victorian Clayton Hall and to celebrate the moat, which they hope to restore by filling it with water again. The site visit not only gives us a preliminary understanding of the site, but the given information from the clients is also instructive for our design.

Today, we took the next step in our design development for Castlefield by moving from sketches to digitalized versions. We brainstormed ideas and collaborated to create a unique and functional space for the community.
We started the day with a breakfast spread to fuel our creativity. We enjoyed orange juice, delicious croissants, and other treats that gave us the energy to tackle the day's work.
Throughout the day, we worked on creating digital sketches, floor plans, and 3D models of the Castlefield development. We challenged each other's assumptions and refined our ideas to create a design we were all proud of.
Overall, it was an exciting day filled with creativity and collaboration. We can't wait to continue working on Castlefield and see our ideas come to life.

Two-group design on Day 3! The third day was divided into two groups, and each group designed Woodley's plan for the next 50 years in one direction (including traffic system, greening system, flow analysis, building function utilization, etc.). And in the afternoon of the third day, the two groups exchanged design ideas to achieve design complementarity.

Posted 15 May 2023 00:50

Brainstorm on Day 2! Based on the understanding of the venue on the first day, a workshop was organized to imagine the future changes of Woodley. Students expounded their vision for Woodley through masterplan/perspective hand drawings/text, etc.

The students began by discussing and developing design ideas in small groups following on from day 2 activities. A few students went to the B.15 model workshop to laser cut pieces for the site model. In the afternoon we ran a Rhino workshop, where we 3D modelled the existing swimming pool building, demonstrating how Rhino can be used. We finished the day by having a group discussion about the preliminary design ideas the BA students had began preparing in groups.

Day 4 comprised a consolidation and brainstorming session from the site visit on the previous day. We split into two groups and developed two masterplan proposals as per the brief. After a brief presentation and discussion of ideas, likes and dislikes of the proposals, we carefully curated a single masterplan proposal that everyone was content with.

After this, we split the masterplan into parts, having two or three members working on their designated part of the proposal. This was inclusive of schematic designs through sketching and digital modelling.

Before the end of the day, the MArch 1 students met with the individual groups and discussed their thought processes as well as outcomes of their brief design session, this was done so to ensure a more cohesive output for the proposal.

Day 4: We continued the development of our site strategy proposals for our presentations to Kingdom Life on Monday. This included creating concept sketches, "blocking" plans to scale, precedent analysis, and creating vignettes of key spaces, highlighting how the design proposal creates a pleasant and functional space for the community.

Posted 14 May 2023 19:55

Second half of Day 4 was pre-planned to be a meeting with the collaborators on site. All the students and team members after lunch travelled to the Withington Baths with the presentation sheets and physical models to discuss the best ideas with the collaborator team. Various design aspects were appreciated by the collaborators as the students took on a role of looking at the Baths and the way it functions for a completely different perspective. A few missed insights also came to light after the discussions that would help in improving the designs. Overall, all three proposals were appreciated and the students were encouraged to come up with a combined and improved design solution taking in the best aspects from all three for the next week's final design presentation meeting.

Day 3: Research/ Mushroom team
We spend the day with Ladislav (Lad), the ‘Mushroom and Mycelium expert’ at the Boiler House, getting our hands dirty creating our very own Mushroom grow bags!! Lad taught us about the controlled and sterile conditions required to grow the mushrooms and showed us some mycelium insulation panels he had produced for our build project; it was so interesting to see the final formed Mycelium panels and to take part in the different stages involved in producing Mycelium- Also it was nice to get away from the computer screens and get stuck in! (We couldn’t leave all the fun to the build team!)

Posted 14 May 2023 17:15

First half of Day 4 was dedicated to final project proposal presentations by teams across the two MSA Live Groups: 4 & 11 working collaboratively on Withington Baths. This was to identify clashing ideas and improve the respective designs. These presentations ended with enlightening discussions within the MSA Live groups and the teams within these groups. This was followed by an on-site meet with the collaborators.

"Resolving the difficulty of navigating the narrow labyrinth of corridors that form the basement of the Bath House was our focus as a group. Adding a new public entrance point on the North side allowed us to create a clear route to the café and the rest of the new facilities. The café extends outdoors into the courtyard on the South of the building, allowing for a sheltered yet sunny (hopefully) coffee break. The office/meeting space runs along the North facing exterior wall of the building. Unbricking the original windows will allow a gentle, indirect source of natural light into the workspace. This space will also be privately accessible from the street. The old clean water tank has been redesigned to form a double-height space with a mezzanine level. This will be an open and naturally lit space used for a range of community activities, such as lifeguard training; artistic activities like painting sessions; general discussion space and possibly an extra room for exercise such as yoga. In terms of practical facilities, the toilets run down the middle corridor between the two baths, leaving an open corridor for circulation as well as being easily accessible – being equally close to the café, office, and community space. Storage has been positioned in the Southern corridor as well as a smaller storage room adjacent to the toilets. Lastly, a staff room has been added at the end of the central corridor – allowing staff to wind down for a break."

Posted 14 May 2023 11:08

"Our group focused on creating a connection between the ground floor level and the foundation. To achieve this goal, we chose the strategy of expanding the existing café area towards the exit on the northern façade. Filling the space between the pylons made it possible to divide the café into cooking and serving areas. Freeing up the original bricked windows allowed us to create a seating area along the north wall, with the possibility of expanding the outdoor café when climatic conditions permit. Another important element of our design is the replacement of the wall of the fitness room, bordering the area of the proposed café, with a transparent partition, which will not only let in natural light from the fitness room, but also involve the visitors of the gym and the café in the visual interaction. Thus, visitors to the fitness room will be aware of the opportunity to visit the café before or after classes, and café visitors will not be isolated from other sauna spaces. The clean water tank area will be used by us as an office space with flexible filling. The passage will also be carried out through the café area, which will increase its permeability. At the same time, an isolated passage to the office space is possible in case of conferences or unwillingness to interact with other functions of the baths. We assume the possibility of access to this space from the street for faster access of employees, as well as the possibility of independent functioning of this space."

Posted 14 May 2023 11:06

Group 31 / PUTTING MARPLE ON THE MAP

"Our group was focusing on improving existing community facilities through an additional café area and multifunctional exhibition space throughout extending the northern façade of the building. The crucial point for our team was to make narrow corridors between two existing pool volumes more efficient. To achieve this task, it was decided to dismantle the existing wall, which divides the space into two narrow rectangles. To distribute the load intended for the existing wall, our team proposes installing structural arches, which will also set a certain rhythm and diversify the elongated space. In the middle of this zone, there will be a bar counter being a continuation of the serving zone of the café, which is located closer to the entrance. The stand is made of frosted acrylic with internal lighting, which will make the room not so dark, giving indirect diffused lighting. We also set as our task the regulation of the flow of people entering the basement level, so we fenced off part of the space around the walls of the existing pool to create storage areas and control access to office premises. In our scheme plan, the movement of people is encouraged towards the café and further to the exit to the annex of the exhibition space. In the exhibition space's architecture, we tried to follow the motifs of the existing façade: first of all, we propose to return the original bricked windows and use the same pattern in the new stained glass wall. The extension is made of a steel frame and filled with glass to create the lightest space and the greatest transmission of natural light into the baths. We believe this space can be used by different age groups as well as local artists. The tank supposed to store clean water will be used by us as an office space with a meeting room. The location of these spaces at the back of the baths will also encourage people to pass through the space next to the café or exhibition."

Developing plans involved a more technical and precise approach, as they had to consider the dimensions of the furniture and spaces in order to create detailed and accurate plans.

In order to facilitate this process, the students participated in a session where furniture and human figures to a 1:100 scale were printed out. They were then able to experiment with different configurations of the furniture and figures within their plans, allowing them to test and refine their designs.

The use of the 1:100 scale figures and furniture provided a tangible representation of the space, enabling the students to see how the furniture would fit in the space and how people would interact with it. This allowed the students to make more informed decisions about the placement and layout of the furniture, ensuring that it would be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Additionally, the students were provided with a website that contained dimensions for furniture and fixtures commonly used in design projects. This resource allowed the students to have a quick and easy reference for the dimensions of the furniture they were working with, saving them time and ensuring that their plans were accurate.

WEEK 1 // DAY THREE: We all returned to one big group today, the morning was designated to curating and we ran through portfolios looking for 5 key drawings from each which can be taken to the exhibition. In the afternoon, we physically modelled our design within the Florence Art Centre exhibition space. We used the model to experiment with different iterations of how the exhibition stands could be used and their flexibility in the gallery space. A smaller group of us visited B-15 to speak about our designs and materiality with the workshop team – this really helped us develop the design and assess its feasibility. We went away and redesigned some of the hinges between the exhibition panels.
