Typology Field

This is the beginnings of my 3D investigation; each element has been modelled quite spontaneously based upon the programme requirement. Some of these are flexible, others bespoke i.e. some are mildly reconfigurable networked ‘event’ spaces, whereas others are far more

City Dynamics

These two sheets will eventually be ‘wired’ together (see sketch below) to demonstrate the potential for semantic city feeds that visualise the rhythms and fluctuations of the city. With suitable annotation they will also help to illustrate the open event

City Feed Architecture

This is my new city feed pipe diagram which describes the method for accumulating the dataset from a range of twenty existing Web resources. The current design fetches, regularises and truncates before filtering and sorting. The output is based on

Mapping City 2.0

This is very much a work in progress…a cloud diagram to map the extent of City 2.0. The backdrop is an extract from The Century is Over, an Evolutionary Tree of Twentieth-Century Architecture – published by Charles Jencks in 2000,

Sketch Section

Another extract from the sketchbook…this week will be spent formally planning my building. I seem to be developing a good mental image but will be interested to see how it pans out when I begin arranging the programme.

Site Massing Model

I am about to begin a site massing model at 1.500 but wanted to explore the aesthetic in 3D beforehand. This is a render from the model I will be printing from – the emphasis will not only be on

City Feed Demo

To complement the city event ‘feed’ architecture I am preparing a hypothetical dataset of all major city fluctuations over a single year. The main graphical output will be that of a timeline with line displacement and moving average overlay.

Pre Analysis

I managed to get this plan from the site manager at OscarClarke containing all of the unit names for the adjacent commercial units. Unfortunately it seems there is no detailed survey of the complex and building structure as modern works

An Update

I will be spending the next few weeks mainly focusing on the Dissertation so I thought it a useful point to summarise my thoughts thus far. Perhaps as a response to the underlying ‘shift’ the city centre is undergoing with

Roofscape Survey

I have been busy modelling the existing roofscape above the Morgan and Royal Arcades. It will be important to establish the existing complexity of form at all layers…roofscape, basement, floor level etc. in order to gain a true understanding of
