SITE ANALYSIS

Water OrtonA rural village North of Birmingham in the Warwickshire borough. The village is in the vicinity of the M6 motorway and has a historical train station from the 19th century.In the past Water Orton was known as an agricultural village, whereas there are still few nurseries in the area.Due to the potential developments of High Speed 2 railway near the village I began my analysis of the area within a global-cultural context. As people are becoming more dependant on technologies , such as smart-phones, cars and even infrastructural networks. I started recording the area with my smart-phone , using various apps that would decipher the area for me. As a result the recorded data formed into a new typology that reveals invisible qualities of the area.I continued exploring the proposal site in a smaller scale. Since the site is adjacent tot he railway I studied the movement and vision. As these surrounding infrastructures offer a transient experience to the community and the passenger. Recording the speed, movement and exposure reveal the focus points and the fading points of the site.

Mobile device becomes a passengerin order to record the travel. Seismographic softwarewhich records movement / vibrations was used.TTo analyse raw data from device,exported graph information,which then needed rearranging in a manner relevant to the journey.A circular grid which ends at the same point where it began. A grid that accomodates 165 minutes of the route and each minute is represented by the recording of the device.

VIRTUAL WATER ORTON

Cities have developed complexpower grids, which posess a great pool of data. Electricity and internet allow us to consume this machine based information whenever we may choose to do so.Mobile phones have become devices, Mobile phones have become devices, which act extenions to our bodies. With this small object we can access and record data. Software which is of our disposal at any time, unlimits our senses.

_CONCEPT MODEL

WIth this model we are trying to explore the expansion and stretch of the brief. Each ribbon is an activity or place, such as meeting rooms, printing area, foyers, elevators etc. Some maybe be happening across many floors, some have an horizontal reach and some vertical. It is the trajectory of space allocation, that creates the autonomy of the shifting use of the spaces as they merge and cross paths.

_CONCEPT MODEL

This is a sectional site model, which focuses on the exposure of light andreflections to the site. By the continiously moving bodies , the light and re- flections shift and are just temporary. Transient experience of the site.

EXPERIENCING PLACES

The vicinity of roads and railway networks makes thesite part of a fraction of someonesvisual travelling experience. The expe- rience is transient, it last just a mere moment.

YEAR 3 FINAL PROJECT

Co-Operative IncubationA working place which is successful through communication and co-operation and its’ structure changes and adjusts according to its users.

Due to globalisation and developments of new virtual and physical technologies the society is seeking a new cultural identity. Therefore the changing society is forcing various forms of informational domains such as companies and businesses to begin to restructure themselves in order to respond to the change. This means they will go through a phasing disintegration to define their responsive cultural identity. The process begins to become evident in the subtle withdrawal from the standard pyramidal hierarchical structure to a more flexible system where each of the nodes or participants become equally important and accessible to and through the structure. The network becomes the key generator for the activities and atmosphere of these spaces that begin to work together through communication and co-operation. Moreover the reflective materiality starts to enhance the context by reflecting back the activities and surroundings. The reflective surfaces have the ability to reveal surrounding space as well as the different individuals. Environment that is used by various disciplines gives the users the opportunity to observe and analyse the process of work that is happening by their side. As a result of the observations an individual becomes more aware of the identity and meaning of their own work.

EXTERIOR FACADE STUDYDiagrams showing the various exposure and enclosure created by the glass fins and solid walls. The exterior facade is the key to bringing light into the building in order to create layers of reflections and emerging a transition between the physical and visual.

FACADE DEVELOPMENT

Aluminium sheet wraps around the frame and is riveted to it. The frame is bolted to the anchoring jointsAluinium sheet

wraps around the frame adn is riveted to it.

The glass fin slots in between the structural anchoring joint that is attached to the concrete slab and extends to the other end of the glass

INTERVENTION

Water Orton Train Station PavillionIntervention responds to the new recorded typologies and information gathered from the site analysis. The cartesian mapping was investigating the connectivity of the area, thus the intervention becomes the ''hotspot''. The intervention captures the movement of the trains and human activity with its kinetic panels that create energy to charge devices, that are connected to the mechanism. The process takes advantage of the 'stopover' movement of the people as the platform is a place in-between movement. The stopover begins to enhance and highlight the tehcnological pressure and availability in our communities and thus allowing people in the stopover moment to be elsewhere through their devices.

MASTERPLAN1:2000

The intervention initiates a virtual access to global information at the stopovers of travel. Within using the bus stops and train stops as the ‘vantage’ points that unlock and extend the reach in the temporary environment. The points are connected: by the autonomous road and rail networks and by the autonomousmovement of the person.

The intervention itself is an extendable structure that accomodatethe use, need and growth of the community

inINTERVENTION SITE MAP_1:200

Ever expanding mobility has created a typology where we are experiencing a continous movement to one place to another,,however being stopped at crossovers - transit zone

We are then exposed to other autonomous movements , whether it is another oject ornatural shifts.

INTERVENTION>MODEL

Capturing the essence of movement and temporarity.
