Synthesis

Developing LCA of Trafford Park. Chosen aesthetic colour.

Synthesis: Colour

Oxford definition: The property posed by an object of producing different sensation on the eye as a result of the way it reflects.

LCA definition: This refers to the dominant colours of fields, woodland, the built environment and other landscape elements. It includes any notable seasonal effects due to farming activitiy and seasonal change.

Field Study Conditions:

Weather: Generally Clear, Partially sunny and cloudly at point.

Time: Sunday 9am - 3pm

Condition that may have had an impact to our collection of data are as follows;

- Due to the winter solstice the sun was low making the west of the site shaded in parts.

- The east side of the site may have seemed more vibrant due to the sun position.

- The autumn leaves had not begun to change their colour this may also effective our view on the colour of the site.

These condition need to be taken iinto consideration when reviewing our data.

How are we going to interpret our data?

From taking photos at our specific grid reference points in a n/e, s/e, s/w and n/w direction.

STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 3

The photo taken for the north east direction will be split into four sections. the dominant colour from each section will create the four internal grids.

In turn each square will be spilt into 1/4 to create a more de-tailed view of the colour within that area. i.e. the north

1:2000 Plan


This plan is to how I have used the aesthetics I have identitfied within the site.

I have aimed to utilised the current aesthetic qualities of the site and enchance them through contrasting them with new interesting aesthetics.

Whislt I wanted the site to have a strong identity, I didnt want the individual areas to merge into each other, they needed to have a sense of place within the site to enable the public to navigate around the site with ease.

The main warehouses have been converted into roof top green houses whislt still keeping their current function. With the possiblitity that they may be turned into residential due to the uncertanty of the manufacturing industry.


A new lease of life......

Could we not make the place pleasurable? (Trieb 1995 p114)

Systematic

Exploration of the sites programme and design.

My design aims have continued from Brief 3.1c Site_Concrete, within this brief I aim to better my previous design ideas and to implement them on a smaller scale. Taking them from 1:2000 to 1:200, seeing how my master plan ideas transfer to a detail design and if they work or dont and how I can better them. Here are some of my previous design aims from Concrete brief:

CONCRETE AIMS:

CONNECTIVITY:

- RECONNECTS THE SITE THROUGH THE USE OF AESTHETICS. BY UTILISING THE CURRENT AESTHETICS TO ENHANCE THE AREA AND CONTRASTING THEM WITH NEW AESTHETICS TO ENSURE EACH AREA HAS ITS OWN SPECIFIC IDENTITY.

INDUSTRY:

- THE MANUFACTURING UNITS HAVE BEEN CONVERTED INTO MFO DESIGNED VERTICAL CLIMBING UNITS WITH ITS GROUNDS BEING USED AS A MARKET AREA (FOR EXCESS PRODUCE)

- AS THE GREEN ROOFS WILL MAKE THE UNITS MORE PERMANENT THE INTERNAL OF THE UNITS WILL BE INTERCHANGEABLE. WHICH CAN BE USED FOR INTERESTING RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS OR MORE OFFICE BLOCKS.

VEGETATION:

- THE URBAN FORREST ROUTES ABOVE THE BERRIED ROADS WILL INCREASE THE CHANCES OF HABITATS ESTABLISHING.

POSSIBILITIES FOR THE FUTURE (Fig 1)

- DUE TO THE PROPOSALS OF THE DESIGN BY INCREASING FOOD PRODUCE, BETTER AIR QUALITY, AND A MORE NATURAL AESTHETIC TO THE IDEA. WITH ALSO THE SITE BEING SURROUNDED BY RESIDENTIAL AREAS. THE SITE HAS ALL THE QUALITIES TO LEAD INTO A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

The main concept i will be taking forward is Possibilities for the Future as through previous research residential is on the increase within the area and will first establish itself along the waterside as has already been done along the manchester ship canal near the Imperial war Museum.

Trafford park was once, what would deemed now, a rural setting. With agricultural fields, farms, dirt paths and woodlands.

Francis Egerton the third Duke of Bridgewater who built the Canal to transport coal from his mines at Worsley to the industrial areas of Manchester, the Bridgewater Canal was the forerunner of canal networks.Opened on 17th July 1761. (Bridgewater Canal, n.d.)

(Author, 2013d)

Railway infrastructure established itself along with a new area of leisure parkland.

The site has now become dominated with warhouse and fogotten elements that are no longer needed, as well as a lack of vegetation.

The Thirlmere Aqueduct began construction in 1885 to quench the thirst of Manchesters burgeoning cotton industry (MEN 2009). Factories and new road infrasturcture was a result of this.

PRESENT DAYPOINTS TO BE AWARE OF

The site was once agricultural fields, which belonged to Moss Farm.

Icopal Ltd: Manufacturer in roofing equiptment.

Office buildings which are likely to be insitu for some time.

Large distribution center. Grounds are used to store freight containers.

The site is covered in concrete from the distribution yard.

This area has become over grown as below it is the victorian Aqueduct.

Sources of Human Pleasure:

Currently there is only one element within the site that give a degree of Pleasure. Which is the canal system, however this element is under used as access to the canal is unwelcoming. However there are interesting aesthetics within the site that with some intervention could be utilised to give a sense of human pleasure.

Elements with aesthetic potential.

The green route (green) linking to lostock park will inhabit wildlife and should be protected or little intervention to reduce any distrubence to the current wildlife. other areas should be established in order for the wildlife to fulrish.

Across the site should support wildlife due to the locality of the possible habitats. this will be taken inconsideration when redesigning the industrial areas (grey) and the canal (blue) area.

Back of Icopal (Author, 2013 m)

Bridgewater Canal (Author, 2013 h)

Cobra Court Business Park (Author, 2013 k)

(20' High Cube Shipping Containers, 2013)

The business park needs to be connected to the site in order for workers to use the site, and to create different types of activity.

Scrub land needs to have little intervention to protect its (highly probable) habitats.

Currently the site is mainly populated as a storage site for a distribution company. These sea containers could be reused in an interesting fashion

The current aesthetic fabric could be interesting to utilise. In the manufacturing units.

Barriers need to removed and links directly established to the canal. Due the success of the canal near the Imperial war museum, could be replicateed here.

The site is covered in concrete and could be reused in a more effect manner.

Issues to solve within the site:

Wildscapes: Exploring alternative ways of making future urban landscapes

Urban spaces that are susceptible to appropriation, adaptation or change are likely to be more usable by a greater diversity of users, and by extension, more durable in the long term. If additions or adaptations can be made to an existing scheme to meet changing user needs, then wholesale renewal will not be neccessary. (Jorgensen & Licka 2011 p223)

Fertile Streets

Landman is convinced that city farming has to be beautiful for it to be socially accepted. Urban agriculture is another competing land use. People have an idea of what a park is, and its not an urban farm. For example, you cant have high canopy trees because you need the sunlight for production. So it needs to be planned at a high level in farms of it being part of the infrastructure of the city. ( Landman, K. As cited in Bull & Edwards 2010 p26)

Growing Food in Cities

food growing projects can act as a focus for the community to come together, generate a sense of can-do, and help create a sense of local distinctiveness a sense that each particular place, how ordinary, is unique and has value. (Garnett 1996 p14)

The International Garden Festival took place between May and October 1984 and attracted 3.8 million visitors. The specially commissioned entertainment complex was the centrepiece of the citys early regeneration efforts following industrial decline in the preceding decade.

When the festival closed its doors, a large part of the site was developed into residential housing, while the remainder experienced various incarnations as leisure and entertainment facilities, until it was left derelict in 1997 to fall into disrepair.

Now, after many years and numerous failed attempts to breathe new life into the historic site, the future of the restored Festival Gardens is secure, and the gates are well and truly open.

Their goal is to design, plant and grow an edible urban forest garden that inspires our community to gather together, grow our own food and rehabilitate our local ecosystem.

Their Goals:Improve Public HealthReduce climate impactImprove the security of our food supply

A Food Forest is a gardening technique or land management system that mimics a woodland ecosystem but substitutes in edible trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals. Fruit and nut trees are the upper level, while below are berry shrubs, edible perennials and annuals. Companions or beneficial plants are included to attract insects for natural pest management while some plants are soil amenders providing nitrogen and mulch. Together they create relationships to form a forest garden ecosystem able to produce high yields of food with less maintenance.

- Design evoles around food production- One of their aims is to intergrate the community- Use of landform- interesting form- One of its kind at this scale

(Beacon food forest plan, n.d.)

(Beacon food forest plan, n.d.)

Some brief design concepts of how to utilise the current aesthetic fabric with an interesting compliment.

Idea of using sea freight containers as a floating cafe or public transport system

Influenced by MFO park by using the frame of a warehouse to create and area for agriculture.

Using the fabric of disused buildings and contrasting with new materials and colour.

multi functional grass cell webb car park and for grazing with cattle/sheep.

Systematic: Design sketches


1st Attempt:Agricultural area:

Too formulaic, need to move away from the reoccuring patterns within trafford park, to create contrast. Also as Landman(as cited in Bull & Edwards 2010 p26) says urban agriculture needs to be beautiful I also believe it needs to be reinvented, such as a new form or more interesting.

Agricultural Units:

Already predetermined so not as flexible / temporary.

Water Feature:

Divides the site, form doesnt work.

Edible Forrest:

the path network is interesting but not connecting the site.

Central Green:

Again seems segregated from the site.

Warehouse:

Sun light will be an issue as warehouse will block out the sun.

Remove?

Small Warehouse:

Again on its own not linking into the site no real purpose?

General critics:

The site is too segregated, areas need to be linked together. Areas need to be given a purpose and more thought on their form.


Through research into agriculture, and a precedent in cape town, they work on the basis that a 10sqm plot can sustain a family of four through the productive season (Schfer 2012) which allowed me to decide on the form of my agricultural beds. I then measured and utilised the sea containers into a temporary planting unit for agricultral purposes.

I looked at landform to try and create an agricultural area which is interesting and different. The paddy fields in china, have a big visual impact.

The units could then be used for different purposes depending on the required use.

mobile cafes, could be farmers markets?

How they would work within the site with level changes. Exposed area, need to be careful of too much folige because of sunlight.

Agricultural Ideas


Development of sea container idea. Development of how other forms could work with the sea containers.

Lostock park connection point

Ideas of how to link the site to Lostock park and create little disturbence to the possible

habitats.

Link to the offices at corba court

business park, to ensure workers use

the site.

Due to landform design, it will

create problems to the connection point. The use of

landform will need to be gradient out.

This landform will raise the

agricultural area to allow more sunlight

to hit this area.

It also create a void underneath

that could allow for a car park.



Summer Solstice: Trafford Park Sunset Position of Sun Sunrise9am Noon 2pm 5pm

Seeing how the angle of the sun would effect the positioning of the trees in relation to sunlight hitting the agricultural beds. Summer suns angle 45 - 50 degrees.


2nd Attempt: Agricultural area:

The area is looking more interesting and intriging than the stereotypical form for agriculture. However more colour is needed.

Agricultural Units:

They are still too predetermined.

Agricultural Beds:

Area given for disabled access.

Edible Forrest:

the path network is interesting but not connecting the site.

Central Green:

Again seems segregated from the site.

Warehouse:

Raise area is now an issue of what can go on here. Private gardens etc?

Small Warehouse:

More linked in now but unsure of purpose.

General critics:

Site now feels that agriculture is everywhere, contrast is needed, pockets of other activites. Other areas need to be worked on to given individual indenties. Path network is alot better but still not flowing well enough, visual links need to be established.

Topography:

Whats going to happen to the run off water?


Run off water to be directed into swales to created a water feature. But also to reduce strain on stormwater management.

Central Green needs more enclosure as it is highly exposed.

Canal to become more accessible.

Need to be reduction amount of path routes, is excessive at the moment.

Some ideas of how to introduce more colour within the site.

Working how the canal and lostock park connection point would work within the design.

3rd Attempt: Agricultural area:

Form has stayed the same, but with less units and more folige.

Agricultural Units:

Units will but just a small amount to start then if needing more other areas will be taken over by them

Canal Area:

This area has been splt into to levels. to seperate the waters edge

Edible Forrest:

the path network is interesting, but still may need to be reduced.

Central Green:

Size had been reduce and form has established itself.

Warehouse:

Raise area will now be split between communal and private garden areas.

Small Warehouse:

More linked in now but unsure of purpose.

General critics:

Still some form working needs to be done, purpose needs to be decided for some areas. Topography need to be worked so the path system works correctly.

Topography/Swales:

Swales have now become a feature as a result of the topography.

Visual links:

Tree line will be planted in a way that people can see from the warehouse to the canal



Path wide:

Using the width of the street in the liverpool rope walks brief, was to wide in realtion to the scale of my site hence my reductiona and the section shows that it works better.

Topography:

Gradual slope with swales holding the run off at spaced intervals.

Path Network:

The amount of paths has been reduced due to the previous amount.

Small Warehouse:

A purpose has now been established and it will be used for an area for teaching agriculture, with the near by building as a hub. Also the large silo will be converted in a canal side cafe.

Through the use of Gordon Cullens serial vision theory and his thoery on Here and There I have created contrast with aesthtics in order to encourage the pedestrian through the site.

The site has been designed in a way that the journey through thr sote will reveal different parts of the site which are visually striking.

The main path allows pedestrians to journey through the site and see elements of each area of the site, from the agricul-tural plots, meadows, swales, the forest and finally leading to the canal walkway.

The Human mind reacts to a contrast, to the difference between things,... It comes alive through the drama of juxataposition. ( Cullen 1971)

The original Design Concept was To utilise the current aesthetics qualities and create contrast with new aesthetics to emphasize certain qualities.

A view from exiting the New residential converted warehouse. The red frame work of the small warehouse can be seen in the distance, along with the visual link to the canal to the left.

At the first connection of the path work the edible forest can be seen. Also the red hollow frame work of the converted sea containers. This area was designed to be enclosed and intimate.

From the enclosure of the edible forest the site begins to open up, with views across the meadows and swales, becoming more exposed.

The contrast of Trafford Parks aesthetics of straight lines and coarse texture in contrast with informal lines of the trees. The picturesque and the industrial image contrast.

The begin to open up again after the enclosure of the framed sea containers and becomes semi-enclosed and views to the water front intrigue the pedestrian.

A area which takes much of its influence from Manchester ship canal near Imperial war museum. Showing a split level, allowing direct interaction and views from the higher walkway.

.....the scenery of towns is often revealed in a series of jerks and revelations.

This section will map the changes of land use for my site (marked in the red box) and its surroundings. To see how the changes of trafford park have influenced my site and how my site has changed throughout time.

This design utilises the aesthetices of the era of manufacturing within trafford park but still encompasses the productive landscape it once was. Through the use of urban agriculture and an edible forest it has allowed me to create a temporary landscape which still create drama through juxaposition.

Systematic:


The Temporary Landscape

Urban spaces that are susceptible to appropriation, adaptation or change are likely to be more usable by a greater diversity of users.... (Jorgensen & Licka 2011 p223)

Materiality

To demonstrate the sites functional relationship of its physical elements and materiality at a small

scale.

The bench idea started out in a simple format. Using the wall to create seating space.

The curved line of the path was then used on the bench to create a different form.

The curved line will now follow the line of the path with straight seats with gaps to frame views of the site.

The hollow section intially was going to be for planting now it will be for a insect hotel.

Materiality: Bespoke bench


These are some ideas for the hollow section of the bench wall.

Materiality: Bespoke bench / Paving

These drawings so how the bench would be intergrated into the bespoke corten steel wall, with the concrete cantilever wall would work.

Axonometric view of how the chair will fit together and into the reinforced concrete wall.

Cross section through bespoke chair and wall and internal concrete cantilever wall.


The modular paving will be 5 connecting pieces, which will create a cross form.

By connecting various modular peices together paths can be created in many different forms. For example:

Each piece of the modular paving element will fold in on itself into a cube with a hollow bottom.
