Architectural model: "Re-Landfill: Finding sustainability in modern heritage"

Facade model of final year thesis project entitled "Re-Landfill: Finding sustainability in modern heritage".

About the model:
Description - A section of the proposal's facade exploring the modular reclaimed brick panel facade hung on the exposed existing concrete frame. Scale - 1:20.

Project description:
The “Post-Landfill”: Finding sustainability in problematic mid-20th century heritage.
The thesis explores a renovation strategy of a vacant hospital in Glasgow through testing the limits of reuse practices of reclaimed materials from demolished buildings. Since 1990, 45% of all demolitions in Scotland took place in Glasgow. Its tendency of reinventing itself by constantly demolishing raised interest in what opportunities can be found in this abundance of construction waste. The project addresses issues faced by similar estates around Europe doomed for demolition - the high cost of renovation/maintenance, unpopularity and tainted collective memory, inefficient floor planning, unattractive aesthetics, secluded urban placemaking, poor detailing and energy efficiency. Reuse methods of the reclaimed materials are utilized to inform the building’s programme and architecture by proposing a 20th-century heritage reuse institute, public workshops, affordable rent studios, commercial spaces, and an innovation centre. Imperfect materials are embraced over immaculate surfaces challenging the public’s view of decay as a sign of sustainability through longevity.

Arctic Alba; Adopt a Berg product

These items represent a product through which a consumer would adopt an iceberg, thereby supporting research into effects of melting ice in the Arctic. The certificate of adoption would give details of the berg adopted, and the cardboard berg models would be sent to the adopter over time, shrinking in size to represent the melting of the ice. The product was produced as part of a final year student project addressing issues of climate change and the relationship between Scotland and the North.

Arctic Alba; Wear Bear product

This wrist band represents a product which would support research into the changing behaviours of polar bears in relation to diminished habitat. The band would link by satellite to a polar bear. It would reflect the temperature of the bear and vibrations would serve to notify the band owner when the bear undertakes certain activities. The band is boxed and comes with an explanatory leaflet.

Design for Glasgow School of Art: back elevation

Design for Glasgow School of Art: back elevation

Architectural drawing showing back elevation. On the left is the tower block of the Library. The little walkway at the top of the building (the 'Hen Run') links the new West wing with the earlier East wing, separated by the already built Director's Studio. The greenhouse cantilevered out from a studio on the top floor provided models for still life painting. The superimposed alterations show changes made to the first building, and those in pencil others thought of between 1907 and 1910.
