Rational to build a new burslem.

Burslem Analyzed using bespoke equipment to discover how memory

works.

Used to create accurate and emotive findings.

Temporary Library units

with a range of other uses then created Inspired the comic book

Ronin

Site then chosen in the core of the town to attempt

to regenerate the area and

positively cause gentrification.

Bricks from the old Royal Doulton then used to create

part of the new builds facade.

Fragmented design created to represent the

broken city. the glass canopy much like the design in relation to

burslem is used to link it together.

The design uses perforations to create

interesting mottled light experiences to

create a lasting impact on the person.

Eyes see image.

Parrot Camera records the image.

When the torso moves the box mirrors the movement.

As the legs move the box is fixed so that the image recorded is constant and stable.

The aim of this analysis is to better understand why cognitive memory in humans stores certain parts of the masses of data flooding into our brain. With regards to architecture, why we notice specific buildings yet if asked about a separate subsequent building, our minds can not recall this. Burslem in Stoke-On-Trent is ideal to analyse this as it has such a vast range of architectural styles and building sizes.

In science, cognition is a group of mental processes that includes attention, memory and making decisions. Can design affect this subconscious and better stimulate these processes.

The Design uses a Flip Pro Video Recorder and a bespoke piece of equipment that has been created to fit onto any individuals’ shoulder, which can be adjusted accordingly it is made of wood and painted white to attract minimal attention. It will capture the images that the human eye picks up however rather than storing them in memories, they can be documented and analysed with more rigour and efficiency.

“Studies show that memory plays a critical role in perception and decision making; however, it may be less reliable and more suggestible than once believed.” Daniel L. Schacter.

To fully understand why people cognitively react to specific building types we first need to understand the human brain. For the analysis the cognitive recognition of the architecture in the Burslem area for 12 people has been recorded: 5 Locals, 4 Architects, 2 Visitors and 1 Council Officer. This creates a complete spectrum of demographics, to give the results as much range as possible. There were 26 buildings altogether that people recalled when asked.

With regards the data has been used this to create a chart that logs the Facade detail, historical era of the buildings and the impact the building plays on the community. This could lead to a positive correlation with the number of times the buildings were recalled compared to one of these impacts, giving specific details affect how people perceive and remember a building.

Architecture is created from a culmination of senses along with a sense of place and scale to create a memory that people remember,

However as time passes this memory can often become distorted and change, maybe not by a significant amount, yet when asked to recall this memory specifics can become blurred and often change completely, to create some thing that does not exist, a place of fiction.

Many writers when writing about places use this concept by describing a place and exaggerating features, often giving the viewer/reader, a distorted view of the area, how the writer wants you to perceive this.

For this piece a vibrant narrative of Burslem was created from an individuals memories, emotions and opinions of the area and distorts the truth to create this place of fiction that literally jumps of the page. It creates a bias view of the area and the town itself; it becomes a place of fiction.

This Solar Skin is made of lightweight inflatable polymer and foam tubing that is 650mm by 300mm. The panel has a solar mirror parabolic ellipse collector on the inner tube of the inflatable polymer skin. The top is made of translucent polymer and foam pieces that morph the shape of bones are put in place to add durability. The piece is lined on the outside with high-density foam that is coated in a shiny white resin finish similar to the construction of a bicycle helmet, but the foam is slightly less rigid. The skin panels fit snug together and seal to create a waterproof seal. The aesthetics of this is a very similar to the Aquarius material which helps to keep this concept strong.

Solar Skin is slotted into the waffle frame on a shelf created from joints. Inflatable Polymer Skin is inflated until the skin fits snug between the arches.Power created flows down cables in the arches into the steel base.This is then collected and utilised, excess is sold to the National Grid.

The structure consists of aluminium laser cut sheets each with several ridges, the sheets slot into perpendicular sheets with identical slats to create the form. This form then slots into joints on each of the eight arches which connect to small connections bolted to the steel floor. The arch has a ridge in it where a glass panel can be slotted into if the arch is being used as an exterior entrance.

Location Plan 1:2500.

A design proposal for a design incubator, prod-uct & publishing center could create jobs and be the next step of Buslems

creative master plan.

Over time these young demographics matured into talented individu-

als wanting to turn this talent into an income.

This younger demograph-ic utilised the facilities available learning off the events and work-

shops with great results.

These local creatives became an attractor for Burslem, early stages of gentrification began,

attracting various cre-atives to the area.

This rapid influx of this creatives into Burslem

meant that few relevant jobs were available and it

became difficult to establish reputations. T

Local talented creatives are hired to make artistic creative products

through various mediums allowing them to gain experience

and income in there trade.

Creatives Work on Individual Products to be sold.eg. Books, Paint-

ings,Photographs.

Client asks for a product to be made

from a brief & business team market any individual pieces designed by the

creatives

Creatives then collaborate to produce

any briefed product though the mixed

media skills set in-house.

The product is finished then edited to be

showcased to the client. Any individual projects by the creatives can be

exhibited and sold in the in house store.

This all leads to income for the company and

theological talented creatives hired to help them gain credibility.

2011-2015:

o £1.4 Billion Government Funding.

o £1 Billion Lottery Funding.

o Stoke had only one grant in the last 5 years.

o Incorporating public uses in the design will improve the proposal.

o Lack of cultural facilities will help the design incubator proposal gain a successful grant.

The site was previously a Victorian church, much like today the church in Burslem held a great significance to the

residents of burlsem.

the pitch roof has been adopted for the design to represent the significance of C.C.C for the residents of burslem much

like the old church.

The large pitch roof constructed from brick slips also created a way for the

design to blend into the conservation area as much of the fragmented design is

concealed by this.

Above is the initial design for the graphic publishing house the design was not fragmented enough to connect to the analysis of burlsem as a broken city. the concept of using this to connect the city would be lost, also there is too much glazing used. the

design looks like one large mass rather than a series of smaller workspaces.

Layout response to the Site.

sun path is most prominent from the south and East side.

slight wind vortex’s are created around the tall free standing royal doulton.

refilled land had created a useful natural drainage table.

the north east is the main source of noise on the site due to several heavy duty workshops.

The glass canopy utilities the most prominent points of the sun to gain as much natural light as possible.

The use of trees in the landscape disperses the wind preventing unpleasant gusts of wind on the landscape.

The north facade has minimal openings both to detract from the conservation area and prevent any noise pollution entering the building.

Light penetrates the south facing glazed windows for natural lighting.

Low north light passes through the perforated glass to created mottled light.

The Heat Recovery system creates an even distribution of hot and cold air round the structure.

Vegetation from the green roof is used to power the biomass boiler.

Thee Green roof creates natural thermal properties in keeping the structure at a constant temperature.

up lighting is used in the glass canopy to provide light in the evening which also creates light effects. with the brick perforations.

under-floor heating supply’s any extra heat needed to facilitate the structure during winter.

Solar controlled glass prevents glare and the building becoming to hot

Thermal mass is created from the radiation from the sun, this works most effectively in the public glazed canopy area.

Vents in the curtain walls can create fresh air cycling round the building.

Utilizing Brick on Site.

Large stockpiles of Bricks on the partially demolished royal doulton site.

Vastly reduces carbon footprint saving time and money in logistics.

Screed gravel and even facade can all be created from these bricks.

under-floor heating.

Skylight can be a huge heat drain.

Light is funneled into the room via the skylight.

cool air is pumped from another room into the space.

cold air is pumped out and moved into a more suitable room.

Advantages.

o Light levels are extremely high in summer due to the skylight.

o The vents allow a constant cycling of fresh air to prevent the space becoming an unpleasant environment for the workers.

o The heat recovery system can collect the warm air and cycle it round the building allowing a constant temperature.

o The concrete slab will release the warm air absorbed in the day in the evening due to thermal mass.

Disadvantages.

o the solar controlled skylight and H.R.S. will be unable to prevent all the suns rays from entering the space and it may become very hot in certain times of the year.

o the heat recovery system will be expensive to install.

Advantages.

o the heat recovery system will utilize hot air from locations such as the boiler room and move it to colder spaces.

o the underfloor heating provides heat if it get too cold to use just passive systems.

o The biomass boiler provides the hot water for the boiler to prevent extravagant heat costs.

o Any heat from the minimal sun is absorbed by the concrete slab to provide thermal mass.

Disadvantages.

o the solar controlled skylight will cause large amounts of heat to be lost

o If there is an issue with the underfloor heating, it will be very expensive to replace or fix
