Testing the Facades
scale 1:100
Greyboard Model,
How modelling the studio of my building enabled a variety of experiments to manifest, namely vistas into and out of the building.
The design of this part of the building enables a clear vista through the building and into the canal area.
This minor intervention is pertinent to my project as it shows how, despite the buildings impact on the surrounding space, views in and around the natural area will become enhanced, rather than abandoned.
Initial experiments with the main south facing facade for my collaborative design studio.
Here, I cut 7 rectangles out of the main facade and used these to model how light would interact with the spaces within my building.
I've decided that having so many equal sized windows could provide too harshly lit areas in some parts, and under lit in others. I used this model as a basis for further experimentation.
A different approach to facade design: how large amounts of small windows perforating through could perhaps lead to a more productive design atmosphere for the people of Stretford to work in.
Although a more even spread is possible, there are not enough vistas in and out of this design for it to be fully considered.

The Site, at Night
How the interaction between facade and light can ensure that the space is easily accessible at night.
Variety of vistas into the building help to light up the surrounding space.
