Bachelor in Architecture B(Arch)

Studio Year 6 Semester 2
Manchester University Project Unity - Building Study - February 2005

This project forms part of the final thesis year. My investigations into the overall masterplanning in Yr6 Sem 1 are carried through into this project. I have also been hoping to expand on the theories set out in my dissertation regarding the Strategies and Tactics in the remodelling of existing buildings.

I was very pleased to get a mark of 75% for this project. The two main images were also displayed at a conference in the G-Mex centre in October 2005. I am hoping that Sally (my tutor) will eventually forward on some photographs of the displayed work.
On a related note the Maths Tower has now been demolished which I think is a shame in both a sculptural and urbanistic sense. John McAslan and Partners are currently the Architects designing the replacement building.

The above images show the concept for remodelling the Maths Tower (which is located near the historic Owens College). Informed by the existing form and structure of the maths tower the red surface wraps the building to create containers of space. The wrap helps transform the unsuitable existing space into useable space.
