The fo l low ing pages represent my exploration into the world of Architecture over the last three years. My journey has brought me to understand that above the functional necessity of sound construction principles, Architecture must also be an ethical pursuit. Today as all the resources and energy buildings demand, and the social and environmental impact i t has on our communities, are completely quantifiable, the role of the Architect as steward of our biosphere is all the more poignant in the 21st century.

I hope that my continued exploration of the Architect as a restorative agent in this world, will contribute positively to the profession and the communities in which they serve.

Y2R.E.A.L. SANCTUARIES

With the implementation of recent

government legislation, in the form of

the Localism Bill, more power has been

given to local people to employ alternate

methodologies to invigorate and

strengthen the city's resilience in this

economic time of uncertainty. As a

result of this, REAL Sanctuaries

(Relaxation, Exercise, Acceptance and

Learning) was born, a community

initiative lead by Giving Trees, a charity

dedicated to the enhancement of

community well being.

The project narrative was developed

from a childrenʼs narrative by Sheldon

Al lan "Shel" Si lverstein which

challenges how we give and take in our

relat ionships. The architecture

attempts in part to create a procession

through vertical and horizontal planes,

through light and dark space, creating

moments for contemplation within the

flow of the city.

PLACE

St. Blazey has a rich industrial heritage, leaving its people with a strong sense of

belonging. In recent years, since the decline of the china clay industry, a

common employment connection between the community has begun to

disperse the communities spirit. St. Blazey has also grown up on the natural

flood plain, meaning that with increased severe weather due to climate change,

flooding serves to jeopardise the communities future further.

AUTARKY

The project is designed to be a catalyst, to propel the town to a more self

sufficient and resilient community. This is to be achieved through engaging

people on a social and recreation level how the people of St. Blazey can be more

self sufficient. The center will act as a datum to co-ordiate efforts to teach and

train local people to be more aware of their ability to grow their our food,

produce their own energy and utilize the water and resources of the area.

EXCHANGE

The building itself would be constructed by local people, setting a precedent for

the rest of Cornwall. The unemployed would be trained in innovative sustainable

building techniques prior to its construction. After its completion, on going

training in traditional and modern building methods will be taught there, with

the aim of invigorating new employment opportunities. The effort would rely

strongly on the Eden Projectʼs agenda as an education charity and the

Sustainable Building Trust initiative, which are located in the Parish.

Y3ANALYSIS - WORKING PROCCESS

The starting point was the end of the first terms project, were I had

developed a strategy for an archive and exhibition space, which recorded

sustainable projects in the community, facilitated by an group called

SECAS. A large scale model of the site was used to test massing and

connectivity to the site context. I then drew over the photos to help

analyse them in more detail.

ARCHIVE MODEL

BIM process models

Quite early on I decided to test various layouts, of the

required spacial requirements, using Revit. This was partly

under a desire to learn a BIM software program. In some

ways, as in learning any new software, It may have

restricted a more loose approach to developing a project,

but it also forced me to think about the materials it would

be constructed from very early on, and enabled me to

quickly assess light conditions and circulation issues. The

design went through numerous formal, structural and

material considerations, and at each major design

decision I archived the progress.

Another tool I used was 3D printing, mixing a relatively

new design technology with the raw clay waste of the

area, was in some way a reflection of an ambition to use

local material but in innovative ways.

The Project was strongly defined by a design process

directly linked with engaging the community.

Since the Governments introduction of the Localism bill:

Neighbourhood plans, St. Blazey have begun to formulate a

town plan. Within this context the local parish council have

accosted the help of The Eden Project and Locality to lead

the consultation/ participation of the community. This has

led to a number of occasions for our unit to meet and

dialogue with real clients(the community).

Engaging the community

With high levels of unemployment, due to the decline of the china clay industry, it was important for me to consider

how this development could engage those seeking new employment opportunities to learn new skills. With this in

mind I organised a workshop for local people in timbrel vaulting. I imagined that this workshop and others like it

would become integral to the long term viability of this project. These training course could be linked in with the

education arm of the Eden Project and the Sustainable Building Trust to deliver world class education in sustainable

development and potentially creating the chance for new businesses in sustainable construction to emerge from this

projects realization.

The vault workshop was conducted over a weekend, and was supported by local business and local people. This

workshop embodied the core goal of my proposal, to offer the community a chance to join in with the development

of their built environment.

As part of the proposition was to train local people prior to its

construction, possibly in stages, I wanted to pick a rich pallete of

materials, breaking them in three categories of MUD, STICK &

STONE. Each one having its distinct textural, olfactory and

acoustic qualities. Each material could be explored as individual

courses buy future trainees, and the building would become an

eclectic exploration of the senses as part of the training.

Each of these materials were dictated by their local availability,

their potential to bring people together through their labour

intensive construction processes, giving the opportunity for the

community to join in and invest in the building. My thoughts

were that each completed part of the building could become a

ceremonial occasion for the community.

This time line gives a flavour of the potential projects, businesses and events that could take place over the years as a result of the project foundation vision being grasped and run with. It shows the impacts on the communities sense of well-being and fulfilment, the reduction of environmental impact and the growth of the local economy whilst the dependancy on a monetary system for the provision of human needs decreases.

Y4Y4 PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE-PURL DESIGN LLP

A key concept of the design process was the idea of

gaining ʻmomentum.̓ It is hoped that the provision of a

new sports facility, would not only act to increase the

participation in sports within the town, but through links

with existing sports clubs in the area. With the support of

the YMCA, the hub could also act as a catalyst to raise the

standard of the competitive sports in the area by

providing much needed indoor training facilities for local

athletes.BLA

The construction of the facility itself is intended to present a number of

opportunities for the community to partake in ʻclothingʼ the building.

LOCAL LARCH CHARRING

The timber cladding is proposed to be made from strips from larch trees,

currently being felled from Prideaux wood, then charred to weatherproof it

ecologically. With the addition of glazed areas behind the timber, the building

will emit a soft glow in the evening to beckon people in.

CHINA CLAY BRICK MAKING

This part of building could be formed through a series of workshops call

ʻBring back the Brickʼ hosted by local crafts people, in memory of the once

produced china clay brick at Par. local clay would be sourced to produce the

bricks using an ʻopen sourceʼ CINVA block press, then fired in a temporary

kiln on site. These homemade bricks would then be arranged on panels,

then fixed to the structure to create an undulating ʻskinʼ for the building.

MAKING THE MOST OF THE ROOF SPACE

FLOOD STORAGE AND WILDLIFE

Located on the Flood plain, the architecture will showcase innovative flood

resilient construction. Elevated on stilts, the building will rise above the

predicted flood levels and allow water to be stored underneath giving extra

capacity during times of flooding. In welcoming the water onto the site,

wetland habitats would be created helping local wildlife thrive and connecting

the building with the natural landscape. Rainwater harvesting would also be

integrated to flush the toilets. The sports hub could also potentially become

a refuge center to help displaced residence during times of extreme flooding,

and help facilitate recovery operations.

CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER

Utilizing cross laminated panels and glue laminated beams, the building

structure will be manufactured off site, with absolute precision, then

assembled on site like a giant puzzle.

The panels and beams will be made from timber sourced from sustainably

locally managed woodlands.

The building will utilize both photovoltaic panels and solar thermal panels to

meet electricity and hot water demands. It is also embellished with a green

roof to encourage biodiversity and slow the rate of surface water run off.

PVISITORS GATEWAY & KNOWLEDGE HUB

A new visitor gateway and knowledge hub will aim to raise awareness of the spectacular gardens at Pinetum Park by building new facilities that will enable the increase of activities throughout the day. By providing a unique architectural venue for events and celebrations in the evenings, the new hub will provide greater employment opportuni t ies for local people, contributing to the economic growth of the area and strengthening the Cornwall’s sustainable tourism industry.

The new building will utilize onsite materials for constructing the main elements of the building, to minimize the carbon output during the building phase and as an opportunity to train local people in new vernacular construction techniques.

CONCEPT DESIGN PRODUCED FOR PRE-APPLICATION REQUEST

The building will be easily seen from the road,acting as a beacon for Pinetum Park
