Public Space
Overview of Green Public Spaces
The borough of Waltham Forest is flanked by Epping Forest on the East and the Lea Valley Resevoirs on the West.
With over 70 parks in the borough, from fully equipped sports parks to contemplative memorial gardens, the borough hosts a wide variety of green public space.
As well as an array of different facilities within the parks, the level of access to these ‘public spaces’ also varies between the parks/ gardens.The amount of control over these spaces can be mapped in degrees of accessibility: - High; such as forests, open playing fields. - Medium; parks with limited opening hours, museums within green spaces.- Low; spaces that require membership or payment, or have extremely limited opening hours.

Brief:
The Copper Pavillion, Arcade Site

Precedent for crystal form:Daniel Liberskind’s Serpentine Pavillion
Pavillion could display copper not only through materiality but through form.
21
[Academic use only]
Copper creates visual link to clock tower of Town Hall, but deconstructs the typical form.
Copper crystal shape leads to folded net for the form of the pavillion.
Pavillion sits in South-west corner of Arcade site, attracting the public from the market and central station.

Crit NotesFor whole studio:
• Demands a landscape response• • Reaction plane of ground that is needed- need to find the scope for the entire
landscape• • 3d imaginative view needed• • Horizontal landscape• • Swap between physical models and projector• • ‘Horror of the formality’- but everyone is adhering to this formality?• • Scale needs to be addressed for Town Hall site, with bolded moves needed• • Need to consider very carefully the relationship with the Town Hall, a civic
response• • Do we need to respect the Town Hall so much?• • Need to use scale plans and precedents (models and studies)• • Challenge the brief more• • Overall all schemes are lacking in imagination• • A third year student project so budget is NOT an issue- need to go wild.• • Whole of public space needs to be addressed- all of the lawns.

Project 1: Pavillion
My pavillion hoped to act as a marker for the Town Hall in the centre of Walthmstow. By using a copper cladding to imitate the iconic green clock tower of the Town Hall, I hoped to abstract the form of the pavillion enough to encourage a new way of considering the Town Hall. The folded form is derived from the octahedral copper crystal, and the unusual shape aims to attract locals and tourists alike, to regain the public interest in the council.
Project 2: Outpost
Through research of green public space and meeting many of the locals of Walthamstow I decided to aim to transform the space occupied by the lawns in front of the Town Hall, to create a new public realm that is inviting and interesting for the public and council workers alike. The lawns have great potential as a space for a catalytic building, changing the environment of the Town Hall site, as it sits directly off the main Forest road. The current lawns distance the Town Hall from the public of Walthamstow making it a formal and unapproachable building. My design aims to integrate into the current landscape. By proposing a large low building I hope to maintain a strong view of the Town Hall from Forest Road. I aim to use the existing angle of the site to its advantage, creating a sloping roofscape that encourages pedestrian access to a new public space/park and a route across from the main road to the Town Hall. By placing light wells and cuts into this sloping plane natural light can enter the deep building and these will articulate the pedestrian roofscape. The building itself will house the much-needed canteen, also acting as a public café, to encourage interaction between public and council. Key areas such as the offices, the main hall and the smaller hall, and the meeting rooms will all stem off this vibrant central cafe/circulation space. The design aims to be an exciting intervention that doesn’t oppose the existing Town Hall, but instead creates a ripple in the front lawns that is necessary to revitalise the site as an accessible and lively place to visit or work.
