MArch Thesis, Architectural Association School of Architecture
Academic Work 2015
MArch Thesis (Individual Project)
Housing & Urbanim Programme
Tutor: Lawrence Barth
Project Description: The exponential loss of industrial land in the inner city is challenging the
role of zoning planning. In London, the urban growth based on housing,
retail and office schemes, have continued to put pressure on industrial
land in order to satisfy markets needs. As a response the proposal will
be based on how industrial parks can achieve a more highly intermixed
environment, where housing and industrial functions can coexist in the
same environment based on knowledge productivity for a long-term vision.

8. The strategy will be based on the canal as a main armature that organizes the territory. The creation of inner environments will aloud to create a highy dense diversity
around the territory in order to upgrade areas and provide the necessary services.

The upgraded industrial urbanity is based on the strategy to regenerate and raise the value proposition with the insertion of housing and production functions in what
is used to be low value industrial area .

12. Having established a guiding principle, the main goal is to provide a vision of the park as productive and knowledge transfer element, where industry and housing
environments can be related. Also it should be interpreted as the third element that creates synergies with housing environments in relation to innovative industrial
developments. In such scenario the boundary between labour and free time is completely blurred, leisure, social and working activities become one continuous sphere.
15. The structure is adaptable to unforeseen situations. It can
accommodate a different set of events.
16. The proposal shows the quality that canal and the bridge can achieve. The industrial area is turning into
a livable and collaborative territory.

Project Description: The 2012 Olympics became a way to foster support for the regeneration of
this entire region of the city through the designation of the Olympic Park
Legacy Plan. As a necessity for the city’s development today, knowledge
institutions are becoming integral to the problem of developing new
centralities. This opportunity is often is often utilized as a catalyst event for
the urban development of the city, particularly in regeneration projects and
expansion of the city to peripheral zones. The goal is to plan for the mixture
of functions of the city centre to create the social and economic intensity
from the start, rather than allowing it to development piecemeal over time.
23. The container is used as a collaborative space where living and working functions are mixed all together. At the same time, it is opened to the street for the
creation of new knowledge, productive and living environments that will improve the liveliness and interaction between the city and the collective space.
24. The variation of levels creates light and dark spaces for the distribution of different functions accordingly.

Director: Alistair
Project Description: TJX launched a competition to set the new headquarters in Watford, UK.
The proposal was focused to rethink the idea of a campus. The strategy
was based on the public realm as a main connector. The relation between
the inside and the outside become the principal concept to rethink how
the collaborative and leisure spaces can be developed. The relation to open
and more domestic environments changed the idea of the office space as an
isolated space into a more dynamic and domestic working environment.

Urban Integration Transparency & Permeability
28. The ground floor becomes a permeable container allowing the exchange of
activities and program between surrounding areas as a toll of mobility and
integration to the immediate surroundings.
29. The relation between the higher and lower levels is developed through an exploration of the expansion of ground floor into its surroundings as a
means of generating new collaborative environments.

Director: Glyn Hurrey
Project Description: JP Morgan asked Scott Brownrigg to do a proposal for a regeneration
masterplan. The current situation of the business park demanded a new
configuration and distribution to achieve 300,000.00 sqft. As a first move JP
Morgan decided to build Building 5&6 in order to offer the pharmaceutics
companies new office space and upgrade the appearance of the business
park. The concept of the building relies on the typical U shape building
and a central core. The flexibility and efficiency of the building offers to
divide each floor into three tenants in order to be competitive in the market,

Project Description: The strategy was based on the rigorous functionality and protocols of the
military complex. At the same time, the Mexican government demanded
new shelter for the new Presidential aircraft and new military equipment. The
refurbishment of the old facilities was an essential challenge in order to achieve
the client’s requirements, and provide new services for the existing crew.

Project Description: For the 2013 – 2018 government period, the Mexico City Government has decided
to create the New Economic and Social Development Zones programme. These
territories would promote a strategy for urban regeneration in terms of social and
economic demands. As an opportunity area, the south of Mexico City offers a
controversial piece of land, which is the actual Government Asphalt factory. This
factory is going to be transformed into a housing and business hub, in order to
regenerate the area. For that reason, the Technology city will be an opportunity to

Award: Manuel Garibay (1st place )
Project Description: The Escandon Hospital has served to the population for more than 100 years. It
is located in Tacubaya , one of the most important areas of public transportation
in the city. The exploration on how to regenerate the area opened up the interest
to regenerate the existing services such as a hospital in order to maximise the
value proposition of the territory. The project retakes the central courtyard
typology of the existing facility in order to maximise the space and create an
internal environment for the users. The architectural strategies such as double
façade are explored in order to maintain the primary function of isolation.

Project Description: The tower Tajin is part of the Housing Complex named Unidad Independencia
located in the south of Mexico City. This housing facility was an innovative
social housing project from the 1960’s developed by the Mexican government.
Nowadays, most of the facilities are out dated and the density that they offer
doesn’t respond to the actual housing demand and basic local necessities. The
project proposes a new mixed-use scheme were it could provide new services to
the area and introduce new housing units in order to bring vitality to the territory.

Project Description: The 4 terrace house were developed in a gated community close to Mexico
City. The idea was to develop a typology that can explore and offer different
conditions between shared and private spaces. A sense community was the
principal concept in order to encourage the well being of the inhabitants.

Project Description: The two houses were developed under a concept of voids and double height
spaces. The strategy of using the voids between the private rooms offered a
completely detached and independent environment. On the other hand, the
double height spaces which are the living area have a hierarchy that brings
together the segregation of the other activities.

form, but also about event, action, and what
happens in space.”
