Integrating new material and tecnology innovation with society and education. The New Industrial Revolution seeks to cater for small/medium sized manufacturing while reusing Victorian and Modernist technology in a sustainable eco park.

Site Context//02.

UMIST, which lies at the heart of the site, is currently home to the University of Manchester’s engineering department and was built on the site of old Victorian factories. The 1960’s Brazilia inspired campus is currently under consideration for either listing or conservation due to its coherent historical character. The University’s Engineering department will relocate in 2018 leaving the site empty. In 2036 HS2 is going to link Manchester to London with fast rail and is predicted to create an influx of commuters into Manchester as well as up to 40,000 jobs.

A series of other buildings surrounding the site, some in use and some abandoned (Mayfield train station) and almost all Victorian in origin, have been identified as suitable to be redeveloped to enable the re-engagement of the site with the rest of the city and the UK.

Masterplan//

reconnection of Mayfield Station//

the abandoned Victorian rail station will be reopened for the transport of goods in and out of the site + city

new heavy industry fabricator//

parallel to Mayfield station , a complex devoted to heavy industry and storage

Mayfield park//

a sustainable urban drainage ecological park will be added to re-engage with natural systems and provide a public space in the centre of Manchester . the park in addition will link into a Georgian park currently isolated from the city because of the Mancunian Way

river Medlock//

the previously culverted river will be used as part of an ecological connective landscape with the use of weirs

marketplace//

underground batch fabricator//

utilising the natural topography of UMIST, a n underground co-op production plant will offer shared access to specialist equipment

northern hub + HS2//

planned expansion to the railway tracks will create a critical rail node for the north west of England that will increase demand to this area

Piccadilly-Oxford Road Pier//

an elevated pedestrian and cycle route will facilitate circulation between rail stations and allow drop off points into the campus to encourage circulation

exposition//

additional architecture that engages with critical datums including the viaduct and pier will provide leisure and short-let commercial space for SMEs

elevated London Rd+ Mancunian Way//

due to topographical restraints both London Road + Mancunian Way will be raised to increase pedestrian connectivity

Mancunian Way//

Mancunian way/London Road

To address the physical barrier to pedestrian traffic created by London Road and the Mancunian Way, they have been raised by a total of 19m above grade to allow pedestrian traffic to pass freely underneath.

elevated roundabout//

To solve the issue of the London Road/Mancunian way junction 3 engineering solutions were proposed

1. Tunnelling London Road: Deemed impossible due to Manchester inherent topography and high water table due to the presence of the river

2. Bridging London Road: Though it solves the immediate issue, the influx of commuters predicted by the arrival of HS2 is likely to rapidly saturate the bridge capacity.

3. Raising London Road and the Mancunian way: Being the best long term solution as well as most cost effective this solution was chosen. It also has positive impacts on CO2 emissions as it helps effectively manage traffic flow as reduce congestion and stop-start driving. road cross section//

Mayfield Station//

The old Victorian station is a grade 2 listed building. It has been redesigned as a freight station to provide freight transport for goods produced on the new site. The Victorian elements of the building have been preserved throughout the existing structure and the extension.

Fabricator//

The inherent topography and landscape of the UMIST site was utilised to separate industry from research labs by continuing the level of Altrincham Terrace throughout the site to create an underground superstructure where light industry can be based. It was decided to base the heavier manufacturing nearer the Mayfield freight station and other infrastructure such as the Mancunian Way so as to best utilise them.

Densification of the site has been achieved by providing new architecture in spaces opened up in the site increasing the number of SME’s that can be gathered within it. The market place has been designed to fuse industry and society reflecting the philanthropic education provided by the Industrial Revolution’s socialist factory owners. This has been ensured by providing the necessary space and infrastructure for both with training centres built inside the site to enable an industry lead “pull” type education system. This proposed system counters the existing “push” educational system in place where uninformed decisions by parents creates the demand for courses instead of the industries needs driving demand.

The site also facilitates increased links between different companies and between industry society and technological resource thus increasing and speeding up technological innovation.
