Street Elevation - East, 1:700 - Giulia Panedigrano
The pods aim to incorporate and re-interpret the same modularity within the M8: here, too, there is one commercial activity within each pair of pillars, and here, too, some variation is guaranteed by different colours, different elevations, different uses etc.
Ground Floor Plan Scale 1:100 - Eilidh McGuigan
The ground floor plan showcases the main spaces of the building. To the left are the main service spaces that allow the building to function. This includes (from bottom to top) the reception, staff base, private fire stair, archive and plant room. The circulation space is given life with alcove benches facing the garden, and storage for students. By designing this space with a function, it prevents the circulation space from becoming a dead space, but gives it a bit of life and character.
Proposed Community Village - Asya Gumus
Master plan strategy aims to connect, protect and reset ambitions of the elderly community. Inclusivity, accessibility and safety is created by integrating different scale interventions and reusing vacant/ neglected land within the area. Dementia design principles are integrated into this process including familiarity, transparency and wayfinding.
Self-sufficient Building Operating Cycle - Gertie Leong Hei Li
The building is promoting a self-sufficient operating cycle where customers from the Market will be able to contribute and participate in producing agricultural goods in the urban farm, then the outputs are to be sold back into the market. The Urban Farm operates with the 'Manual-Automatic' farming method where people come and purchase farming resources from vending machines, including fertilisers generated from any food waste in the Kitchen and Market hall. Moreover, Creative workshops are created to nurture the local art of making and the residents from Anderston will be able to come and enjoy the experience and share knowledge and ideas in the Co-Working Study Room.
DFN Proposed Buildings - Adele Melas
The DFN masterplan proposal includes the following buildings: Primary Shops, Secondary Shops, Community Centre, Kiosk Wardens, Moderate Dementia Housing (Level 2), Severe Dementia Housing (Level 3), Medical and Health Centre, Admin Offices, Children's Nursery, and Public Toilets.
Left: View underneath the canopy of one of the greenhouse. Right: View on the lower platform between workshops towards the green terraces - Carla Feraru
Underneath the canopy of the greenhouse roof an intimate seating space is created and offers beautiful views of the community garden and orchards beyond. From the upper platform, one can descend on the steps towards the manufacturing workshops. Each landing provides an opportunity to stop for a moment on the green terraces where you can have a picnic or just soak in the sun.
Transversal Sectional Perspective Zoom - Carlson Ko
Drawing that shows the connection from the commercial area connected to the gymnasium. This would introduce great activities around Laurieston and how it would interact within the community and accessibility. Private Restaurant that would introduce jobs and great private time to have a greater view of Laurieston to Gorbals and Tradeston. Courtyard that would allow an interesting interaction with passerby within the building and with the curiosity will attract community to interact within the building.
Approach to the 'safe wing' model - Asya Gumus
Each safe wing involves a different activity. Other designs include gardening and sensory therapy that reduces stress and anxiety that can surface due to progressing dementia. Each safe wing will include a different colour/ character/ material in accordance to the interventions use, such as red promoting energy, motivation and activity and blue promoting a calmer and less stressful environment. These colours are important for elderly design as it can slow the process of the developing dementia amongst the ageing population.
Site selection and remediation framework - Carla Feraru
In Scotland, there are approximately 200 closed landfills with many more soon reaching capacity. This thesis looked at devising a framework that could be applied to remediate and valorise not only one but multiple of these historical landfills. The thesis proposes a trifold approach depending on the taxonomy of each landfill: green remediation, low-tech remediation and high-tech remediation. This project sets to test the high-tech strategy on the chosen site of Kilgarth Triangle.
KSENOfilia - Anna Rogowska
The proposed building - KSENOfilia includes the new office as well as an array of spaces encouraging dialogue and cooperation of people from all backgrounds, nationalities and religions. From a café with performance space, through a recording studio, to a multicultural content focused library, space will be provided to give voice to those excluded from mainstream intellectual and artistic discourse controlled by systemic racism. The form of the building was created through a playful mixture of different architectural styles from countries with considerable number of immigrants in Poland. Deconstruction and synthesis of forms, details, patterns, and rhythms led to creation of a design with a diverse and simultaneously unified identity. Just as all the styles come together in this one architectural piece, so shall all cultures in Inclusion Insurrection’s hopeful vision of the country’s future.
View Back to the Entrance Lobby Through Wild Flower Garden. - Eilidh McGuigan
By designing the circulation space around the central wild flower garden, it strengthens the connection between the person and the outdoors. With views from every room to this lush green space, the library aims to improve the publics wellbeing and responds to the sustainable design outcomes.
The manufacturing workshops and greenhouses - Carla Feraru
The production area of the masterplan is composed of greenhouses, communal gardens and workshops for local entrepreneurs. A central spine runs between the two levels hosting the production buildings and acts both as a ‘shopping street’ as well as an ‘urban’ intervention that mitigates the changes in level through publicly accessible green terraces. The layout follows the topography of the site, with the sinuous distribution of the volumes and their staggered layout allowing for unique views and daylight penetration.
The Structure - Fiona Wylie
Construction of the building was heavily importance, taking sustainability and fire safety into account.
As an image for sustainability in the community, the majority of the structure is glulam post + beam with CLT floor panels, in attempts to reduce the amount of concrete used unless necessary. It’s lightweight, versatile, and provides a warm + natural aesthetic within the urban farm, reinforcing the idea of eco-industry.
Due to the tower being over 18m tall, it acts as an independent steel + concrete structure beside the timber structures, connected by an expansion joint. In case of fire the tower’s construction is non-combustible and a fire shutter can be placed in the atrium connecting the two structure types.
A weathered Corten steel facade was chosen to give the building a lightweight feel in contrast to the building’s size over the heavy historical wall, complimenting the colour of the surrounding red brick buildings in Tradeston. The metal is a nod to Tradeston’s metalwork history. The Matrix rainscreen cladding system align’s with the required A1 non-combustible facade buildup due to the height of the tower.
The Ramp Entrance - public access directly to the market, restaurant, garden spaces, and new public park - Fiona Wylie
The site rests on a plinth that is 3.5m above the main street level, and has an existing ramped entrance. To continue the pedestrian walkway in Tradeston's proposed new masterplan, people can directly access the market and gardens without having to go through the whole building. To promote more exterior access, as the site ramps up, so does the building, with a nature path. The nature path wraps around the building, providing direct access from that side of the building to the restaurant, the market seating, the growing areas, and the main greenhouse, all while continuing a green journey to experience the building and create views over the historical wall to the rest of Glasgow.
Social Services and Housing Section - Rebecca Irving
The housing blocks and community services are located in the heart of the site. The requirements for the community services are based on discussions with a diverse group of women, who suggested we need ‘in-between’ spaces for people to access help and support, without direct intervention.

The Exploded Diagram of the Floating Terraformer - Sania Halim
The exploded parts of the terraformer depict the mechanism and the working of the facility. The acid collecting membrane will be made up of graphene, a material of the future, which will absorb the acid from the atmosphere. The façade of the terraformer and the elevated building is made up of graphene as well, which will absorb sunlight and converts it into electricity to run the terraformer.
Exterior View of the Laurieston Education Hub along Gorbals Street - Shivani Sarjan
This exterior views shows the building along gorbals street in the opposite direction. It depicts the higher blocks' relationship with the landscaping, creating a protected area underneath.
1:20 Technical Section Through Entrance Lobby - Eilidh McGuigan
The roofscape of the lobby and study carrells are specifically designed to enhance the user's experience within the building. The overhang on Market Street takes the user away from the street and creates a threshold into the building. The angle of the roof provides shelter from solar gain, creating a dark and intimate lobby space, emphasising the light and colours that shine in the wild flower garden. In addition to this, the roof is designed to gather rainfall with the large surface area and channel it into the central space to allow the flowers to grow.

Section BB illustrates the diverse range in scale, hierarchy and spatial change throughout the building programme. Light is a crucial factor in enhancing the atmosphere, materiality and quality of the space, which is controlled by large overhead skylights that can be operated to change depending on the activity of the space. From Right to the left the public can be seen travelling through the building, rising and descending through gallery spaces, forums and media spaces that all offer opportunities to interact, learn and be heard.

"to belong" - Nathan Constable
For this project, we had to recreate a "slice" of the tenement facade where our "to engage" project was situated through pencil drawing. This involved figuring out the sizes of all the aspects solely through digital investigation and then using these to mock up the "slice" as accurately as possible.
Students in particular may recognise this block as it is on the corner of Byres Road and Great George Street.

1:500 Elevation to Old Dumbarton Road
The façade is made mainly from stone slips formed from the existing on-site wall into which the new building embeds. Zinc Accents set within announce the programme within the wall sandstone. As the stone will match perfectly once weathered, the building should integrate with context as if it had always been there. In order to match the height datum of the existing wall, ceilings indoors have been raised to 4.5m which has resulted in better views to Benalder Bridge (the building’s physical connection in streetscape to Partick) from the Roofscape.

Kinetic and Adaptive Spaces - Daniel Kelly
We need to accommodate the constant change in society through technology, user needs and the way we live.
Therefore, the external form remains as a permanent but the internal spaces will be in constant flux through the use of kinetic partitions and smart furniture.
Through the arrival process, the AI can develop algorithms of each citizen and distinguish how they will like to enjoy their time and what activities they want to partake in, and in turn transport and create those spaces using these forms of kinetic and evolving architecture. This image shows the lower level on the circuit which is being used as a continuous art gallery.
Rooftop Farming View - Finlay Ulrichsen
The terraced farm plots stepping back northwards allows ample south light to reach each plot on top of a natural drainage and water distribution,
with water moving from one plot down to the next following the pitched roof form. However it does more than that, it allows users to see
the food produce from growth to consumption, getting that sought after direct connection with their food production. Its gives them an elevated
view of the landscape and the community the design brings together similar to one you would gain from standing on top of the Necropolis.

Mavisbank House / A Descent into Chaos - Eilidh McGuigan
The following artworks convey the regression of Mavisbank House. The Palladian villa was the first of its kind to be built in Scotland during the period of enlightenment, where it experienced an entourage of regimes. Originally built in 1727 by architect William Adam in collaboration with his client with intentions of being a stately family home, the building was erected with strict form and order which showed its stance in the local hierarchy. With being a sign of wealth and importance within the area, the building received high levels of care with a flock of maids and groundskeepers to maintain the property. Through time, and many pairs of hands, the building was eventually left in a state of hibernation after the property owner passed away. Eventually gutted by fire, the building was robbed of its elegance and hope of rejuvenation. The building then left in turmoil gradually disintegrated, finding purpose as a car park and scrap heap in the early 70s.
Within this project, I wanted to reveal how although the building may not stand with its intended character, I think the building is far more interesting now nature and time have allowed it age and develop its own charm.
I have compared the buildings in their two main phases of life through photo collage. In the first I show the building as if it had aged through time, maintaining the characteristics of the Palladian style with strong symmetry and organised features.
In the second I have shown how the building has truly deteriorated, veering away from its original style and descending into a state of chaos.
Personally I much prefer the style of the more chaotic artwork as I feel as though it represents the bitty and unpredictable life that the building has endured.

Research background - Carla Feraru
With accelerated consumption rates and unsustainable disposal practices, natural resource reservoirs are predicted to be depleted by the end of the century whilst our residual waste production is set to double. This thesis presents the opportunity for a new industry for the 21st century: ‘waste mining’, where waste streams both past (trapped in landfills) and future are mined and reintroduced back as resources in a circular economy model.

Iter | Plan and Sketches - Ami Coulter
Iter looks to surpass boundaries, slow citizens down, allow time and space to THINK and experience others. In Glasgow, it assumes a largely disused railway track which flows through the centre of the city. The focus is on holistic connection, the experience of layering another street or Iter, within the city, and the connection points introduced. It offers a new completely pedestrianised route, removing the intrusion and speed of the car, returning freedom of movement over the speed of movement. It draws people closer together and transcends boundaries whilst utilising acts of compression and connecting different parts of the city similar to Luchtsingel in Rotterdam.

Labelled Site Plan of the Shipyard - Ellie Carroll
Site Plan of Part E of the Masterplan - Kate Melhuish
The Building aims to provide an immersive experience celebrating the Story of the Glasgow Washer Woman. This story if split into three parts.
Part 1 is the Glasgow washer woman: The collective act of washing and getting clean has been prevalent throughout Glasgow's history. Before the creation of the bathhouse, or Steamie, the women from a certain area would gather together and head down to the river to perform the ritual of cleaning. The washing of cloths became a social and community activity, a time for women to communicate and support one another.
Part 2 is the Goddess Clota: Depicted as a lone washer woman seated on the edge of the river or a ford the Goddess Clota was the Celtic deity of the Clyde. They worshiped the water and regarded the river as sources of fertility. The Clyde was known as the purifying as it carried large amounts of mud to sea when it flooded. an earlier name for it was Clwyd meaning heard from a distance. These qualities of the river were reflected in the Goddess she was known to be pure and hold the divine ear.
Part 3 Is the Bean Nighe who is depicted as a lone washer woman. She is a female spirit or banshee, a messenger from the other-world. She can be seen washing blood from cloths at the ford of a river, it is believed that these are the cloths of those about to die. If approached with caution, a person may be able to get between her and the river they are entitled to the granting of three wishes or the telling of three truths. This varies within different versions of the legend.

DFN Physical & Social Criteria - Adele Melas
Findings from Mitchell and Burton, the key pioneers in the field of dementia-friendly neighbourhood research, have distinguished six principles which should constitute a DFN: safety, accessibility, distinctiveness, legibility, comfort, and familiarity (Mitchell et al., 2010). However, these factors focus primarily on the physical environment of a neighbourhood. Thus, for the environment to play a more holistic role in managing and preventing dementia, social factors such as safety, engagement, choice, sympathy, and inclusiveness, are proposed to accompany the existing, physically orientated set of criteria.

The exterior of the community centre features a modern interpretation of the protruding screened timber balconies and baraza (stone bench). The traditional straight baraza is transformed into a triangular one to create a space that allows for better interactions. To enhance the transparency of the recycling process, the display area has a void cased by a glass structure that allows visitors to see directly into the recycling plant below. Goods produced within the scheme are displayed in modern Swahili zidaka (wall niches) while artwork and information on recycling are displayed on large green structures made from recycled plastic meant to create this feeling of one being in a life-sized zidaka. The walls of the display area are adorned with plastic-bottle tops that create a mosaic; an example of how recycled materials can be used in construction.

Collages representing the Past, Present and Future of Greenock - Ellie Carroll
Research and Manifesto - Anna Rogowska
Despite its turbulent past Poland has had a long history of tolerance for other cultures and religions. It has unfortunately seen a decline in recent years with acts of racism, hate speech, and xenophobia becoming an almost every day occurrence with no visible repercussions. The two main questions that this project aims to answer are: ‘why is it happening?’ and ‘what can be done to stop it?’.
Insurrections and Uprisings have been an inseparable part of our history following multiple invasions and attacks. So much so that there is a separate page on Wikipedia collecting all Polish uprisings featuring 16 pages and 23 subcategories. Just as in the past Poles had to rise up against invaders and occupants, it is time to rise up against intolerance and injustice.
After analyzing the timeline and recent events certain conclusions could be drawn and overall society profile with four main factors could be recognized. All of these factors served later as a guideline for creation of the Manifesto. While creating the manifesto, lessons derived from previous analyses have been applied. Thus the following workflow model has been developed:
recognized issue -> possible solution
Based on proposed solutions the specific manifesto points were created, after which the architectural solutions were modeled.
Model of a 'safe wing'- Advice cafe - Asya Gumus
This diagram shows one example of a 'safe wing'. The ground floor is designed for quick and short term access/ support making it easy for residents to drop in without an appointment and seek support over the counter. The staff are dementia trained and will have the skills to support elderly resident needs. The upper levels are designed for longer stay where private councelling can be arranged and support group meetings can take place. Transparency, signage and familiarity within the design allow locals to feel comfortable when visiting.

Second floor plan - Angelika Hajdasz
While H.E.R. focuses most on accidental counselling, there are mentoring rooms designed on the top floor of the centre. Mentors are qualified people who offer counselling sessions to those in need, without feeling ashamed of going to the psychiatric practice. The availability of services on-site at all times is a chance for hesitant ones to decide on seeking professional help on a ‘spur of the moment’ basis.

The Interior View of the Facility - Sania Halim
A single terraformer will have a radius of purification index of 300m and a radius of influence of 450m. On an average one floating terraformer will be able to generate 4117.6 tons of water per year and 420.88 kg of fertilizer per year and 2826.6 tons of reclaimable water per year. The calculations give us an approximate timeline of years needed to clean one city, then one country and then the entire world.
The Cross Concept - Adele Melas
Crosses are conceptually chosen as the ideal settings to accommodate the Dementia Friendly Neighbourhood. Being vibrant in character and centralised in location, they offers individuals with dementia the opportunity to continue life as normal, participate actively and integrate with society. Often stemming into high streets, they increase accessibility and safety between homes and primary services, which heightens independence and confidence. Vitaly, they facilitate the creation of a ‘walkable zone of experience’ for individuals with dementia (Blackman, 2006).

The Pnyx are designed to encourage citizens to DISCUSS, enveloping pause points in the city. In Glasgow, these are often formed by green spaces offering the opportunity to slow down or stop for a moment. These spaces grant a particular opportunity for primary and secondary engagement with the programme. The reintroduction of the ancient form which has since been adopted and privatised, also reinstates the identifiable form associated with engagement in the public realm. Accessible to all, allowing citizens to gather together in their common moments.
Connectivity of an Open City - Ami Coulter
Toward an Open City is an important infrastructure though it does not solve all the problems – as there can be no final solution. Through providing a renewed circular programme of interventions which continuously feed each other, it provides new and varied modes of citizen engagement at different scales, in different locations. Ultimately, building a climate which is more open; accepting of the other, adaptable, respectful and understanding.

H.E.R. - Angelika Hajdasz
The main idea behind H.E.R. is “accidental counselling”, which means that participants are the support group for each other, alongside mentors, who are always there to lend an ear. That is a key point that makes the centre different from a mental health facility, it is not there to treat people in a traditional way. It is there to support through creating the community and space to open up about personal struggles and reach out to friends, who are going through similar problems and help one another, just like friends do.

Map of the Clyde Highlighting Existing Celebrations of History and Opportunities for New Ones - Kate Melhuish
The Clyde is the main river that flows in the west of Scotland. It is a major feature in the natural landscape. Not only is it a prominent feature in the natural landscape but it is also key element in the development of places, memories and stories. This map highlights some of the told and untold stories that run along the riverside. Within this project I explored various stories and created an architectural time capsule of one, which can be used as an example of how to produce this corridor of memories, celebrating lost stories.

"To Engage" - South Elevation 1:100 - Zuzanna Woznicka
I proposed steel frame construction, in my design because it allows achieving long spans, large open spaces and is aesthetically fitting into the project.
In the south elevation are visible construction elements - steel beams and columns painted in black. A large recycled rusted steel panel is a decorative element and it doesn't have a shading function, I would imagine that made of the shipyard's remains welded into one piece.
Large windows should be made with solar controlled glazing (IGU), or ideally with electrochromic glazing.
At the bottom are recycled bricks which, are in the hall part purely aesthetic. Those brick main are a symbol of new rising from old; a reminder of Govan's heritage.
From the staff room side, the brick is also a structural element, non-load bearing.
"To Engage" - Section C-C 1:100 - Zuzanna Woznicka
In this section, we can see the difference between the height of the floors and how the light accesses those spaces. In the backyard is located a public graffiti wall, that can be used by anyone who would like to express himself. To introduce the gallery to another social group I proposed a mini ramp at the back. The brick in the back is the recycled wall of the preexisting building, and that was my starting point for this project. I wanted to leave one wall that would be a reminder of the past.

Concept Development - the programme / the influence / the form - Fiona Wylie
The programme influences the form, splitting the building into 3 wings containing its 3 uses, tapering through use, to learn or to apply knowledge. The linear placement of programme reflects the journey of production: learning how to, seeing it done, and then doing it yourself. In each wing, there is a round central gathering point to break up the orthogonal qualities of the production spaces in the building, and promote community interaction.
Looking at the exterior form, the perimeter of the building is parallel to the boundaries of the historical 5m tall perimeter wall of the site, whilst the interior is splayed to maximise south light for greenhouse production. When the concept meets the context, inspiration was taken from the typical solid Tradeston block with u-shaped voids, mixed with the tower typologies of the historical Tradeston tower in its context, the classic agriculture silo, the tree, the typical greenhouse, and tradeston's peaked roofs, to come to a final form.

Reading Area for 4-5 year olds
After the design of the external stair above, the lighting conditions beneath created an opportunity for a “secret cave” space at the West end of the ground floor plan. This means 4-5 Year Old Children are provided with a space whose atmosphere is evocative of storybook setting. The wall decals are intended to add to this effect. A hidden strip LED will illuminate the space while its discretion ensures retention of the imaginative atmosphere.
In contrast, the book storage is in a more traditional Library format to help children make the transition to traditional libraries when they get older. The largest of the rooflights gives sky views from this area, opening up the internal experience while planting around will screen the books from afternoon sun.

Fundamentals of The Lifeline - Shravan George
‘The Lifeline’ acknowledges London’s vast portfolio of abandoned infrastructure as an opportunity and an important medium for addressing the urgency at hand. At the heart of the project is a circular, zero-waste food production system that thrives on the flow of materials and waste products between the four food groups – Aeroponics, Aquaponics, Insect Farming and Algae Farming. These have been identified as four food groups that would be prevalent in our future diets based on research carried out in the 5A publication.
While the abandoned tunnels provide controlled environments that are vital for aeroponic and aquaponic systems, the retrofitted buildings serve as physical manifestations of ‘The Lifeline’ at the surface and accommodate research centres, insect farming facilities, administrative offices as well as social and educational areas for public use. The controlled growing environments in tunnels and the associated systems in stations are made in a modular fashion so that they would be able to adapt to modern food trends and advancements in technology. The heat generated by the existing tube network, which would otherwise be lost to the environment is harnessed to power The Lifeline. This makes it possible to produce food with no reliance on conventional sources of energy. Moreover, algae tubes installed in the streets help remove excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

As a common characteristic of crosses over time, both in history and in the present, a tall clock-tower is placed to mark the centre of the Laurieston Cross. This functions as a prominent landmark for orientation in the masterplan as it is visible from all parts of the neighbourhood. The streets in each bearing meet the cross as a market, forming a vibrant and active dwelling and transition zone, and further emphasising the literal shape of a cross across the site. The roofs over the markets exposed to the High Street (north and west wing) are structured in as rigid rippled effect, symbolising
the rhythm and pattern of individuals shops in the High Street facade, whose life can be continued onto the streets.

Distribution Admin Space
The Existing Building has been adapted to host the the Book Distribution related programme elements, thereby using the existing structure on site to portray the existing functions of the two organisations. The existing building has fell victim to a few unsympathetic extensions, which will be removed and brick partitions in the distribution building are formed from reclaimed brick kept aside during demolition. The glazed façade and additional dark blue steelwork provide a visual link both to the new façade elements and the rest of the scheme. Biophilic Design has been linked psychologically to stress relief, so the admin office includes plants within and a view to the living retaining wall and the new Reading Green it neighbours. This contributes to a relaxed atmosphere within the spacious office.

Pedestrianising the Strand - Shravan George
The Strand building and Aldwych station are located in the famous Strand in London, a place that is historically significant and is frequented by locals and tourists alike. Pedestrianising the Strand expands opportunities for the public to interact with The Lifeline. The newly pedestrianised street would have markets, plazas, social areas, exhibitions and opportunities for the public to get a glimpse of food production in the tunnels. This is consistent with Westminster city council’s vision to remove vehicular traffic from the area by the end of this year.
Elevation and Sections - Fiona Wylie
The north elevation, a long section through the growing tower, the seed library, the main atrium, and production spaces, and a short section through the main atrium, hydroponic growing spaces, and the main greenhouse.
The growing "tree" tower is inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Johnson Wax Research Tower, with alternating mezzanine floors to allow for double-height vertical farming spaces as the main production zone of the building. The roots of the tower start at the lower ground floor entrance, with a seed library and archive surrounding the main circulation core of the tower.
The main greenhouse off of the atrium acts as a buffer zone for solar gain and passive heating/cooling throughout the building, which then goes into the main atrium which acts as a thermal stack where hot air can exit through vents.

Few shots of my physical model at a scale of 1:50.

I want to definitely do more models in the future and try new materials and techniques.
A. Entrance Buffer - Adele Melas
To avoid the implementation of a gated community, and strike a balance between safety and freedom, Entrance Buffer zones are located at the five entrance points of the neighbourhood, the majority of which are converted into green communal spaces. On the one hand, this allows social safety to be enforced and on the one hand and physical safety as green zones act as natural separators and means of slowing down the pace of movement. Importantly, accompanying each buffer is a Kiosk, which range from newspaper to coffee and flower stalls, and serve as discrete and functionally camouflaged security wardens. Hence, staff responsible for each kiosk have a dual role - to serve goods and act as security wardens for vulnerable individuals approaching these entrance/exit zones.

How the journey started - Sania Halim
Starting this year’s thesis on the brief climate urgencies, I started researching about all the climate change threats around the world, Few that caught my eyes more than others were Acid pollution and water scarcity, mainly because without water, there is no us, 1.1 billion people worldwide lack access to water, and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year. Inadequate sanitation is also a problem for 2.4 billion people. Acid pollution, on the other hand, inflicts devastating losses to vegetation, fisheries, water quality, and soil health, and combine with carbon emissions, it becomes a deadly menace to human civilization. Both of these problems go hand in hand and need to be taken care of.

D. High Street - Adele Melas
The High Street is a prominent feature of the dementia-friendly neighbourhood and is key to enhancing factors including normality, accessibility and inclusiveness. In an attempt to capture a sense of normality for residents, many care homes have often implemented false interpretations of streets in their design - many times as internal elements, which are not functional but simply stand as inactive façades. The ethos of the High Street is to ensure the façades and use of specific shops are legible and distinct, which is achieved through distinguished colour use, clear signs, and bringing shop activity beyond the facade where possible. With time and recurring exposure, familiarity of the shops will increase. In accordance with the fundamental needs of users in terms of services and shops, the DFN proposal provides a range of primary and secondary facilities; 500m-800m from level 2 and 3 dementia housing.
Urban Intervention of Interstitial Spaces. - Cham Zheng Chee
Like a balcony, it creates a vast continuum of space with the city- awakening of the juxtaposition between the wide grasp of the city and the speckle of present self, translated in the vessel of an elevated pedestrian bridge against the city.
The design proposal revitalizes one of the abandoned interstitial spaces in the city. The space shares the same railway line adjacent to the market space which allowed the liminal space within the urban realm to be continued. The façade facing the Bridgegate street is retained as the frame from its past. The pedestrian bridge along the railway stems towards the edge environment along the river, propelling human flow from the city centre.

There is a lot to learn about digital design, which I am really excited about.
The Main Entrance - Fiona Wylie
After entering the building from Cook street and rising up through the building, the main entrance acts as a "tree" base for the rest of the growing tower, with a glass floor looking down into the seed library. At the center of it is introductory information about hydroponic growing, and the space splits off into the learning spaces, the main atrium, growing spaces, and the wellness wing.
South Satellite - Rebecca Irving
The South satellite transforms Old Caledonia Road Church into another centre for unpaid care and domestic work. This would primarily serve existing communities in the Gorbals and in Laureiston. A tower element is included to form a connection to the other sites for sisterhood which helps establish cohesion throughout the scales.
B. Street - Adele Melas
All Entrance Buffers, besides the west wing, stem into streets which meet at the heart of the dementia-friendly neighbourhood - the Cross. The Streets are fully pedestrianised and are vibrant with life, both as transitional zones and dwelling points. As explained in the criteria, these are divided in accordance with the colour of the paving - red implying the former and yellow the latter. Similarly to landmarks, familiarity of their use is gained with time, particularly through the eyes of dementia-users. This allows the use of outdoor environments to be sustained as dementia-friendly, for instance as pedestrian paths are maintained unobstructed, wide, and directional.

The Facade - Sania Halim
It’s quite evident that most of the countries suffer from great temperature anomalies, especially many parts of Middle Eastern countries and Asia. The facility aims to flow at significantly greater heights where acid deposition levels are the most. This will be anywhere near to 400-1000m. Hence the terraformer will be exposed to harsh climates and direct sunlight. Prototyping of new smart materials for the terraformer will be performed using graphene printed technology, which will consist of clusters of gills interfaced with sensors to enable the device to open and close in response to both human activity and carbon dioxide levels.
The graphene mesh will absorb the extra heat and harsh sunlight from the atmosphere as well, hence turning them into electricity to run the facility. The panels will be able to simulate how they will operate in reaction to sun intensity and shifting incidence angles over the year. The panels would act as a curtain wall, extending 1-2m beyond the glass frame. The façade of the terraformer will have star shaped panels inspired from biomorphism, projecting out 2m, and will have implementation of advanced detection system designed to integrate the needs of the regions climate.
The panels will be able to simulate how they will operate in reaction to sun intensity and shifting incidence angles over the year. The panels will reduce glare, improve daylight penetration when needed, less reliance on artificial lighting and over 50 percent reduction in solar gain, which results in a reduction of co2 emissions by 1750 tonnes per year.

Study Booth View - Eilidh McGuigan
The main idea of this library design was to create a central focus around the wild flowers within the central garden space.
Within this, there was strong inspiration from the architect, Peter Zumthor, who believes, “A garden is a very intimate space. It requires care and protection. To do this, we encircle it and give it shelter. The garden then becomes a place.”
From this, I designed the study spaces around the garden so not only does the garden become a space to dwell and reflect, but the shelter also allows the person to be taken away from the street and left with the garden in a quiet intimate atmosphere.

Welcome to the Grand opening of The Floating Terraformer, World Fair, Central Park, NY ( The Manifesto ) - Sania Halim
Pollution is one of the most significant challenges that humanity is facing right now. Pollution percentages have been rising exponentially since the 18th century’s industrial revolution. This industrial outbreak has caused a variety of environmental problems, including ozone layer destruction, decreased oxygen-to-carbon ratios, and acid deposition.
Acid rain washed out trees in Europe, wiped out wetlands in areas of Canada and the United States, and affected human health and crops in China, where the problem remains. The cause was sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released by the combustion of fossil fuels in automobiles and manufacturing facilities such as smelters and coal-burning utilities. When these atmospheric toxins react with water and oxygen in the soil, they chemically convert into sulphuric and nitric acid. The ecosystem disruption caused by acidification is clearly seen in the Adirondack and Catskill Mountains of New York in the eastern United States. Many wetlands and streams in these regions are no longer capable of supporting aquatic populations, and water quality is severely impaired. To combat the acidity crisis, the project ‘the [PH] floating terraformer’ has been set out at the midst of New York City in Central Park. The project’s goal is to create a system that gently removes acid and toxins from the atmosphere while emitting zero carbon in the process.
CULTURAL STUDIES- URBAN HOUSING - Kallia Ioanna
Terraced Houses are significant and need to be treated with respect, as they form the foundation of cheap housing in Glasgow since the 1960s. People’s history is written in these houses and should not be kept and hidden away.
Arx | Plans and Sketches - Ami Coulter
The programme and activities of Arx are rooted in citizen ACTION. The current city space which embodies this energy most are its urban squares, symbolic spaces of communication, assembly and expression. Arx looks to embody the meaning of the word, become a fortress for the citizens, a refuge. An entity which can be equally and freely experienced by all users. Illustrated architecturally as a beacon within the city, re-appropriating architectural monuments of power / control / the state, and instead granting it to the citizens.

City X: Masterplan - Daniel Kelly
City X consists of a linear, continuous route that facilitates the post-scarcity society into an intense space for self-learning, contemplation, reflection and the arts. It can be used as a means of travel throughout the island whilst also facilitating and consuming the needs of the culture. This creates a journey of experiences that aims to re-sensitise the citizens to the surroundings, leading ultimately to a realignment with nature.

The landfill mining station - Carla Feraru
The first component of the masterplan pertaining to the recovery part of the brief is the landfill mining station. Located by the landfill mound, The landfill station is where the dug-up waste is being sorted initially and separated from the soil fraction. Further, it is loaded onto the conveyor and proceeds towards the recovery buildings.

E. Severe Dementia Housing - Adele Melas
Level 3 Housing proposal is for individuals facing severe stages of dementia, whom require assistance 24/7. The proposal is bungalow in form, low is scale, domestic in style, and accessible in function. To battle isolation and enhance physical and social stimulation, residents live in small groups of 3-4 per household, and are encouraged to participate in all aspects of normal living to the best of their abilities. The immediate neighbourhood setting of the homes de-institutionalises the generic appearance of long, narrow, and dark double loaded corridors in conventional care homes. In the case of the neighbourhood, the ‘corridors’ between homes are in fact real life streets.
The repair workshops, market and community spaces - Carla Feraru
The consumption area is envisioned as a central space for gathering and leisure. Multiple routes converge to and from the square, making it a focal point for the masterplan and local communities. The buildings here host, on the lower platform a market as well as public workshops for the community, a material library and a repair shop. In addition, a community kitchen and meeting spaces for community groups are incorporated on this level. On the upper platform, the visitor centre is located to the left of the main community hall, a flexible space that allows the local residents to gather informally.
Distribution of spaces inside the main recovery buildings - Carla Feraru
The new industry proposes an integrated approach to waste management in such a way that resource recovery is maximised at each step in the circular economy chain. The entirety of the waste stream is divided into three categories: food waste, recyclables and residual waste. Each waste stream is processed on-site, minimising transportation distances, costs and pollution associated with the current waste management model.
The Lifeline Network - Shravan George
The Lifeline consists of 5 distinct underground tunnel networks dotted across Greater London that are linked via the existing London Underground infrastructure. The produce that is grown in these networks is transported across the city at night using the Tube lines and is also made available at key Tube stations, markets and cafes.
The whole tunnel network extends for 50.3km, producing 17,605 tons of produce annually - fruits and vegetables for over 45,000 UK households and fish for almost 100,500 households. Notably, the network replaces 4600 hectares of traditional, unsustainable farmland which could have produced carbon emission equivalent to that of 2200 households. Moreover, The Lifeline also produces insects, generates employments for thousands of people and supports 10 local foodbanks.

Seasonality of the building's programme - Elena Stefanova
The functions of the Rhodope Council and the Agrarian Institute are determined by the seasonal rhythm of the land and resources. Together they create a system where each component plays its role at a given time and supports the functions of the other components.
The recycling and energy production facilities - Carla Feraru
The main recovery area of the masterplan is expressed through a series of spaces hosting a material recovery facility, an anaerobic plant, and a plasma gasification plant. These three components work together to manage incoming waste streams, retrieving reusable and recyclable products and turning the rest into energy and valuable by-products.

Rehabilitation can be a long and complicated process. Without integration between phases, this can very quickly turn into an isolated environment. We need to redesign the way we approach this as just having rehabilitation facilities without integration within the community can emphasise further problems. I propose a facility that blends these boundaries and accommodates a healthy rehabilitation environment that concentrates on four aspects of recovery: Body_Soul_Mind_Hearth.
Left: View inside the market. Right: View inside the materials library - Carla Feraru
The market opens towards the square on the weekend and as such, the design here blurred the boundary between inside and outside. Brick is used here as a paving material. Across the site, the versatility of the material is celebrated and used to tie in together the different areas of the masterplan. Inside the materials library, objects rescued from the waste stream are displayed to be repurposed for upcycling in the crafts workshops on site.

View from the upper terrace of the consumption area down towards the square - Carla Feraru
The amphitheater seating not only makes the transition between the upper and lower level of the site at this point but is imagined to be used in conjunction with the ‘square’ and act as spectators seating for activities such as concerts, theatre shows and movie displays. During weekends, the indoor market ‘spills’ onto the square and local residents and visitors alike are invited to sell unwanted goods or sustainably produced products here. Together with the ‘shopping street’, this area of the master plan is designed and imagined as a walk-through town. Despite the language of the masterplan following clues and conditions from the urban environment, the surrounding park context is highlighted and enhanced.

The education wing and museum - Carla Feraru
In addition to the recovery facilities and associated staff and research centre, great importance was given to the education of the community and visitors alike, about the new industry. As such, an education centre, as well as a recycling museum, were included in the recovery area of the masterplan. The education centre is seen as a key space for the local community to use. Free access to the laboratories, classrooms and library are given to school groups and visitors alike, encouraging participation and knowledge gathering about the issues at hand.

The new resource mining industry transcends the function of managing waste and it looks at how resources can be recovered, reprocesses and consumed sustainably so that they don’t become waste in the first place. Whilst at this stage the need to consider the whole journey of our resources is highlighted, no one selection of spaces would work for each context. From this point onwards, the principles set will be tested about the chosen site of Kilgarth Triangle, where the brief will evolve and be defined in close relation to the specificity of the site and the local context.

The masterplan follows a village-like typology, where a collection of buildings of various scales and functions are symbiotically employed across the site. After the mining process is completed, the landfill mound is remediated into a woodland whilst the masterplan, already established as a central hub of recovery production and consumption within the community, continues to perform these functions long into the future, sustaining the economic activities of the area.

F. Moderate Dementia Housing - Adele Melas
The housing proposal is specifically targeted for individuals facing moderate stages of dementia, whom can no longer live entirely independently without forms of assistance. The concept embraces co-housing and intergenerational living with a young nurse practitioner, young carer, nurse or medical student, who are equipped to take on the role of the ‘carer’ by discretely offering assistance, in a non-institutionalised nature. Both residents would equally learn from one another, form a very strong friendship bond, and yet have their own privacy. Essentially, the two households join via the entrance-point communal kitchen and living room, and move into their own space through a progressive privacy layout.
Long section of The Floating Facility and Plans - Sania Halim
The [PH] floating terraformer, as the name implies, is designed to float in the air using maglev technology. The repulsion induced by the structure’s magnetism and the earth’s magnetic field would regulate the buoyancy of the structure, causing it to migrate up to altitudes of 700m, where acidic contaminants typically congregate. Acidic materials, such as acid fog, will be absorbed by the porous membrane attached to the airbags and accumulated in the central purifier, where they will be neutralized by an alkaline solution formed by nitrogen-fixing microorganisms by biological activity and deposited in the purifier center. The water and salt generated during the neutralization process are fed to plants, trees, humans, and deserted areas, among other things.
Initial Location: Central Park, NY, USA
Program: 1500-2000 inhabitants anticipated
Total Height: 257.5 m
Status: Reviving atmosphere, Technological Research and Development
The terraformer will be seen as the first step towards a greener future without acid pollution, water scarcity and climate problems. Hence, reviving our ecosystem around the world part by part.

The Inclusion Insurrection - Anna Rogowska
The Inclusion Insurrection is an architecture movement created by a group of young architects, who oppose widely spread xenophobia and intolerance in Poland. Fed up with passiveness of general population and visible acceptance of prejudice and bigotry of the ruling right-wing government, they have decided to create a new, culture fluid style, putting a spin on the old motto of the first activist architecture group-modernists: ‘form follows foreign’. In order to bring acceptance of multiculturalism to the monogamous society they plan to influence Poles with the following framework: introduce -> familiarize -> normalize. Starting out in one of the biggest cities, with a now seemingly forgotten history of diverse nationalities coexisting peacefully, they plan a set of architectural interventions utilizing the new style, created through breaking down of the language of architecture. As a starting point they have decided to work with an anti-racism organisation "Never Again" Association, creating their new branch combined with a cross-cultural hub located on the main historical artery and current representative promenade of the city-Piotrkowska Street.
