The document summarizes several student projects that were exhibited to gather feedback from the Knowle West community in Bristol, England. The projects addressed issues in the community like social isolation, lack of education, and unemployment. They proposed solutions like co-housing, community learning spaces, and workshops to promote skills training and local production. The temporary exhibition was designed to be portable and interactive to facilitate an open dialogue with community members.

2. Copenhagen has so much
to offer to the creative mind,
whether it’s explored by
foot, bike or boat the city is
littered with art installations,
urban landscaping and colour.
However just 20 miles out
of the city is a hidden gem,
the Louisiana Museum of
Modern Art completely
steals the show for me. On
arrival, nothing prepares
you for the spectacular view
that is waiting beyond the
unassuming threshold.Vilhelm
Wohlert and Jorgen Bo, the
architects that designed the
gallery extensions, which
integrate so effortlessly with
the landscape, connect you
with the exhibition’s most
valuable prize; the shores of
Oresund Sound.The museum
sits within a sculptural garden,
which slopes down towards
the water, the architects spent
three months exploring the
grounds to find the perfect
location to site the additional
wings of the gallery. This
attention to detail is clear to
see when exploring the space
as there is a perfect balance
of inward facing and outward
spaces, meaning when you
wander through the warren
of gallery spaces you are
completely absorbed in the
exhibitions. However when
you arrive at an outward facing
space, the stunning views are
framed and the sole focus
of the space is connecting
you to nature. Epitomising
this connection perfectly, is a
quirky sculpture of a diving
board puncturing the window,
expressing the seamless
continuity of the indoors to
outdoors.
The gallery itself is divided
into four elements,the original
house, the two wings housing
the guest exhibitions and the
resident exhibition creating
the form of a horseshoe,
with the garden making up
the fourth exhibition space.
This outdoor exhibition
space was the real pleasure
for me. Wandering through
the gardens and stumbling
across tree houses, being able
to inhabit the spaces that
artists have created and take
in the ambiance of the place.
The architects highlight the
importance of connecting a
space to its surroundings. By
using translucent and natural
materials the gallery reflects
its surroundings onto its
façade, helping it to blur into
the background, forcing the
emphasis onto the beautiful
grounds.Theglazedconnecting
corridors are all linked to the
gardens by elegant sliding
doors which allow you to flow
in and out of the gallery as you
wish instead of being forced
through a controlled route.
This freedom to explore and
to discover art in your own
way is really refreshing as often,
an inward looking museum
or gallery space has a way of
funneling people through a
space instead of allowing you
to forge your own path.
So for what looks like an
inconspicuous Scandinavian
house on arrival,opens up into
a rabbit warren of light and
shade, of indoor and outdoor,
of natural and crafting.A place
where you can get lost in
the beauty of nature and be
inspired by a relaxed attitude
to modern art.A true success
of sensitive site specific
architecture.

The objective of the ‘JUST
HANGING’ studio desk, is
to enhance the typical studio
environment by implementing an
element of play and relaxation into
a static object. The idea behind
‘JUST HANGING’ was to use,
unwanted and recycled materials
to create a volume which can be
used in a multifunctional way to
provide more than just a desk.
The challenge was composing a
structural system that was stable,
and solid and that could support the
weight of the hanging elements as
well as the additional live loads. For
the primary structure, scaffolding
poles and joints were used to create
a frame, this was then braced with
timber cross poles and scaffolding
boards, for seating.
The end result, was that of a
structural frame, with a hung table
that housed sliding draws for
storage, four hung seat swings and
two scaffolding board benches.The
idea was that the hung elements
could be hoisted up and secured
to the scaffolding frame to provide
a flexible work environment,
catering for the dynamic working
environment of an architectural
studio.

QUESTIONINGTHE COMMUNITY
The LIVE . WORK . MAKE
collective designed and curated
a temporary exhibition that
exhibited the completed thesis
projects produced by the Part
11 architecture students who
had undertaken a design project
located in KnowleWest,Bristol.This
exhibition was located at Knowle
West Media Center for a period of
time, as well as at a co-housing and
sustainable living event for a week,
thus reaching many people to get
a range of opinions and feedback.
Each project exhibited draws from
issues that were identified by
the designer when analysing the
community. They then propose a
solution to these issues, focussing
on the needs of the community.
The projects were categorised
into three themes:
-GROW
-LEARN
-TRADE
With overarching similarities that
include:
- A form of co-housing, whether
that is custom build design or self-
build.
- Promoting social integration
within the community
- Actively improving the lives of
people in Knowle West
community
- Encouraging learning and
exchange of skills amongst the
community
- Sustainable design
- Encourage people to do more
than just live – to live, work and
make
The point of exhibiting this work
though an interactive exhibition
was as part of a research and
analytical exercise,for we asked the
community questions about the
schemes and about what they feel
is missing within their community.
It was a two way conversation as
we posed the questions and they
could feedback through written
thoughts or through simple yes, no
slot machines which could give a
visual representation of opinions.
The LIVE .WORK .MAKE collective,
designed an exhibition that could
be folded and transported within
the boot of a car, with a simple
material palette of OSB board,
hinges and cable ties to secure the
stands, with bolt on elements such
as; table tops for writing feedback,
spinning frames that encouraged
engagement and slot machines to
gather data.

housing including custom build with maker units at ground level and housing to cater for

Josh: Inspired by the vibrant streets of Marrakesh, and in the old traditional Italian hill
top towns. There is an organic code: allowing a place to become what it is naturally
and as a result of decisions made by those who live, work & make there. The proposal is
therefore a strategy for growth from the street level up, not a masterplan designed from
above.
The scheme includes self-build co housing at its heart, (8-12 households), activity rich and
busy bustling streets for the making and trading of goods.

Generation make is an
experiential apparatus
seeking to engage the mind,
body and soul. It provides a
place for learning, creating,
and immersing into the arts.
By journeying through the
spaces, one transitions from
conversational interactions to
secludedstates,whichprovides
protection and tranquillity
from the distractions of life.
Through the act of retreating
into a more primitive
existence, for the purpose of
reflection and creativity, the
clarity of the mind offers the
opportunity to explore the
sublime. The LIVE, WORK,
MAKE spaces are sculpted
and hammered to expose
the aggregates of the ground
that the retreat inhabits,
offering a crafted atmosphere
which is excavated out of its
surroundings and exhibited
there.

LOCATION
Generation Make is located
at The Eden Project near St
Austell in Cornwall. Eden is
a national landmark and is
visited by guests from all over
the world. It is grounding its
roots in the local communities
by providing education and
schemes that benefit the
neighbouring towns and
villages as well as being
implemented nationwide.
Eden is first and foremost a
visitor center with tropical
gardens and biomes however
they are constantly looking to
develop their brand and
provide a destination that is
used year round instead of
predominantly the summer
months. The main attractions
and developments appear in
the ‘inner circle’, the clay pit.
However more recently the
edge of the pit has started
to be developed. Here more
educational facilities and staff
buildings have been built.
There are opportunities to
develop the outer circle as
well as remaining areas of the
inner circle. Currently visitors
have access to The Biomes,

SITE ANALYSIS
Eden is divided into 3 bands,
the Outer Estate which is
where you enter the site,
here the many car parks are
located alongside temporary
accommodation, energy
and waste plant, educational
and staff facilities, next is the
transition band, this is where
the visitor center sits along
side the balancing lake and
hang loose activity center.
Next is the Inner Estate, this is
the clap pit, where the Biomes
and gardens are located along
side the core. Currently the
inner estate is well established
but the opportunity lies with
the transition and outer estate.
There is excellent access to
these bands with bus, road
and cycle routes.
Four site options where
identified as possibilities for the
retreat, Option 3 was chosen
as the site for the scheme as
it lies within the transitional
band of Eden which gives it
a strong connection to the
gardens and facilities, which
should create more footfall
for the gallery.

RETREAT
RETREAT
An act of moving back or
withdrawing.
A quiet or secluded place in
which one can rest and relax
A period of seclusion for
the purposes of prayer and
meditation
A retreat can either be a time of
solitudeoracommunityexperience.
Held in silence, or there may
be a great deal of conversation.
Retreats are often conducted at
rural or remote locations. Either
privately, or at a retreat centre such
as a monastery.
Generation make offers the
opportunity to experience both
seclusion and conversation in a
beautiful natural environment.
The journey through the building
will reflect the act of retreating,
starting off in a communal
working and exhibiting space,
where conversations and activity
is encouraged, through to living
and relaxing spaces and then to
spaces which offer seclusion and
protection from the distractions of
the outside world. The scheme is
de-constructed to accentuate this
journey with the transition spaces
connecting the user to nature

Light is the origin of all being.
Light gives, with each moment,
new form to being and new
interrelationships to things,
and architecture condenses
light to its most concise

in architecture is simply the
condensation and purification
of the power of light.

"The interior vertical space is
formed by two essences," said
Ando.
"Above eye level captures the
local and traditional spirit with
the Palapa roofs. Whereas
below eye level captures the
contemporary essence with
geometric concrete walls,
columns, stone floorings and
the wooden shutters."

"Drawing and architecture
require inspiration," Kudimov
and Butahina explained. "We
know from our personal
experience that an interior
makes a direct impact on our
mood and can give an impetus
to work and creativity so we
decided to make a spacious,
light room with various areas."
This art studio offers a
combination of LIVING,
WORKING and MAKING
spaces, allowing total
immersion into creating.
By being able to be self
contained it means that
there is less opportunity for
distractions from day to day
life and it provides users a
space which they can utilise
to their requirements instead
of providing a rigid working
environment.

SITE
Aggregates comprise as much
as 60% to 80% of a typical
concrete mix, so they must
be properly selected to be
durable, blended for optimum
efficiency, and properly
controlled to produce
consistent concrete strength,
workability, finishability, and
durability
The geological make up
of Cornwall is varied
however the St Austell area
is predominantly granite
surrounded by Devonian slate.
The site itself used to be a clay
quarry, all materials which can
be utilised as aggregates in the
concrete mix.
The concrete is manipulated
in different ways to exhibit
the hand crafted skills that
can be applied to concrete.
This echoes the function of
the buildings which is a place
for creativity. The techniques
used are: bush hammering,
shuttering and pigmenting.

SERVICES
As the accommodation spaces
are de-constructed to provide
areas of solitude and privacy
and raised on stilts to delicately
touch the steeply sloping
ground, services run along
the underside of the raised
board-walks and connect to
each accommodation studio.
The entrance for each studio
is raised to allow for the
services to run under the floor
and be distributed throughout
the studio.The services are all
surface mounted to continue
the honest expression of
how the buildings are crafted
and created. The electrical
distribution is shown here,
housed in copper piping to
compliment the cool tones of
the concrete.
