FALMOUTH UNIVERSITY
Falmouth University is the most significant entity within the local area
(Falmouth & Penryn). The university is home to students and profes-
sionals of various creative arts such as Fine Art, Photography, Game
Art & Development, Acting & Theatre, Fashion & Textiles and Music,
among others.
Even though there is a university initiative called CoLab, which is a
platform built for student collaboration, there should be other oppor-
tunities for collaboration between the creative art students of the area.
There is an opportunity to create a separate initiative through archi-
tecture or design a scheme which contributes to Falmouth University’s
CoLab Initiative.

1900
Carnsew Quarry provided
the stone for the main
structure and exterior of
Truro Cathedral
TRURO CATHEDRAL
Carnsew Quarry’s history is very
monotonous and one-dimensional.
Its whole documented history is
invloved with heavy quarrying for
granite.
1898
Carnsew Quarry supplied a
medium grained stone for the
plinth of the railings of the
British Museum, Bloomsbury.

1967
The Carnsew Quarry stone was only
used in the London Bridge on the
condition that it would not be used
below the high water mark because
of concernse about its durability
LONDON BRIDGE
1937
Granite from Carnsew Quarry was
cut into blocks for the peirs and
buttresses of the Chelsea Bridge.

ROYAL EXCHANGE

ROBERT CLIVE STATUE
The pedestal of the Lord
Robert Clive Statue was
made form Carnsew

SITE HISTORY

5. This new idea of historical layering brought me to three key stages of the site’s history: the past
(legacy),thepresentandthefuture.Thesite’slegacyreferstothelonghistoryofgraniteextraction
and production, with one of its most significant benefactors being the Truro Cathedral. The
present is not very different, as it also ahs to do with the extraction of granite but I’m focusing
more on the structures and equipment present on site; the most significant being the aggregate
processing tower, the tallest structure currently on site. The final stage is the future, which will
be the realization this architecture project, specifically the pinnacle tower I plan on proposing.

INSTALLATION THROUGH COLLABORATION
The Exhibition Centre I am proposing aims to be a
playground for artistic experimentation and collaboration
between different disciplines of the arts. Through these
collaborations, creative students and professionals
can work together to create interactive and engaging
installation for the general public to enjoy. Collaboration
between different creatives creates new opportunities
for extraordinary artwork and gives the students in the
local area teamwork skills.
For example, a collaboration between Dance, Fashion,
Music, Gaming & Technology. An installation which
involves virtual and augmented reality in an exhibition
space, showing a virtual dance installation with garments
designed by the fashion creatives and music produced
by the music creatives.

7. CREATIVE CoLAB
Falmouth University already has a platform in place
which encourages students to collaborate with one-an-
other. Since my brief consists of engaging the Falmouth
University students, collaborating with the university’s
collaboration platform will help form strong ties to the
university its students.

These installation precedents serve as
examples to show how multiple creative arts
can come together for one installation. Even
though these artworks are made by singular
artists, they make use of different art forms and
knowledge to bring the artwork to life.
It is important to know that even if an art
installation piece is created by one artist, there
are a team of craftsmen and other creatives
that help bring the artist’s ideas to life with their
respective knowledge.

9. The first stage consists mainly of research,
conceptualisation and planning. A space that
supports these activities would house research
material and spaces to engage with this material as
well as desk and meeting spaces for planning and
conceptualisation.
The second stage is where the construction and
realisation of the ideas and plans from the incubate
stage. It is important that this space ( or series of
spaces) has a significant distance from the spaces
of the other stages as the Craft stage can produce
a significant amount of noise.
The third stage, and arguably the most important
stage is where the work is finally exhibited. A
space that supports installation artwork would have
high ceilings and large open spaces. These open
spaces can be flexible with movable interior walls
or partitions to adapt to the work being exhibited.
INCUBATE CRAFT EXHIBIT
Before putting together a schedule of accommodation, it is important to
understand the different stages in creating art installations in an effort to
respond accurately to the needs of the process. After research into this, I
came up with three main stages:
EXHIBITION STAGES

10. After developing my brief further, I kept coming
back to the three stages because it felt like a stage
was missing, particularly after the Exhibit stage.
Art installations use up a lot of material, but what
happens to all this material once the exhibition is
over and the works have not been sold?
RE-CYCLE
INCUBATE CRAFT EXHIBIT
RE-CYCLE
SOLD IN
SHOP
The materials should be recycled and/or reused
to help minimize waste throughout the exhibition
process. Some of these recycled and rused
materials can be made into other things (e.g
FABbrick, Furniture, etc.) which can then be sold in
the exhibition shop

14. Even though there are a quite a few examples of
buildings that resemble my original concept drawing
(above), Renzo Piano’s Building Workshop in Genoa,
Italy clearly and effectively illustrates the kind of spaces
I am trying to create for the Incubate section of the
scheme. This is not only because of the way the building
engages the sloped site with stepped levels, but the fact
that it is a design studio and workshop.
The spaces are well-lit and there is a seamless
connection between the levels. The building is a bit
bigger that what I am trying to accomplish and scaling
the seamless levels down to my desired size will be a
challenge, but overall this project offered me guidance
of potential seating arrangements for the work spaces
and studios.
Unfortunately, there is a limited amount of documen-
tation and publications on this building, which has
limited my ability to research more into the structure
and technical resolutions.

16. EXHIBIT
CRAFT
INCUBATE
• Separation of masses by key
programme
• Sloped roof connecting to initial
concept
• Separation of Incubate section into
two smaller masses
• Rotation of most masses to face
south for opportunities for more
solar gain, but first incubate mass
remains in position to justify against
entrance to main scheme
• Exhibit separated into two masses
with courtyard between them
• Exhibit moved to upper level section
to help connect upper levels to lower
• Bridge added which connects
to tower , eventually removed
as it divided the scheme and felt
unnecessary
• Kitchen, Café and Office Space added
to scheme where appropriate
• Implementation of landscaping that
aims to connect levels, reference
granite levels of site and link to
aforementioned precedent
