The fo l low ing pages represent my exploration into the world of Architecture over the last three years. My journey has brought me to understand that above the functional necessity of sound construction principles, Architecture must also be an ethical pursuit. Today as all the resources and energy buildings demand, and the social and environmental impact i t has on our communities, are completely quantifiable, the role of the Architect as steward of our biosphere is all the more poignant in the 21st century.
I hope that my continued exploration of the Architect as a restorative agent in this world, will contribute positively to the profession and the communities in which they serve.

Y2R.E.A.L. SANCTUARIES
With the implementation of recent
government legislation, in the form of
the Localism Bill, more power has been
given to local people to employ alternate
methodologies to invigorate and
strengthen the city's resilience in this
economic time of uncertainty. As a
result of this, REAL Sanctuaries
(Relaxation, Exercise, Acceptance and
Learning) was born, a community
initiative lead by Giving Trees, a charity
dedicated to the enhancement of
community well being.
The project narrative was developed
from a childrenʼs narrative by Sheldon
Al lan "Shel" Si lverstein which
challenges how we give and take in our
relat ionships. The architecture
attempts in part to create a procession
through vertical and horizontal planes,
through light and dark space, creating
moments for contemplation within the
flow of the city.

PLACE
St. Blazey has a rich industrial heritage, leaving its people with a strong sense of
belonging. In recent years, since the decline of the china clay industry, a
common employment connection between the community has begun to
disperse the communities spirit. St. Blazey has also grown up on the natural
flood plain, meaning that with increased severe weather due to climate change,
flooding serves to jeopardise the communities future further.
AUTARKY
The project is designed to be a catalyst, to propel the town to a more self
sufficient and resilient community. This is to be achieved through engaging
people on a social and recreation level how the people of St. Blazey can be more
self sufficient. The center will act as a datum to co-ordiate efforts to teach and
train local people to be more aware of their ability to grow their our food,
produce their own energy and utilize the water and resources of the area.
EXCHANGE
The building itself would be constructed by local people, setting a precedent for
the rest of Cornwall. The unemployed would be trained in innovative sustainable
building techniques prior to its construction. After its completion, on going
training in traditional and modern building methods will be taught there, with
the aim of invigorating new employment opportunities. The effort would rely
strongly on the Eden Projectʼs agenda as an education charity and the
Sustainable Building Trust initiative, which are located in the Parish.

Y3ANALYSIS - WORKING PROCCESS
The starting point was the end of the first terms project, were I had
developed a strategy for an archive and exhibition space, which recorded
sustainable projects in the community, facilitated by an group called
SECAS. A large scale model of the site was used to test massing and
connectivity to the site context. I then drew over the photos to help
analyse them in more detail.

ARCHIVE MODEL
BIM process models
Quite early on I decided to test various layouts, of the
required spacial requirements, using Revit. This was partly
under a desire to learn a BIM software program. In some
ways, as in learning any new software, It may have
restricted a more loose approach to developing a project,
but it also forced me to think about the materials it would
be constructed from very early on, and enabled me to
quickly assess light conditions and circulation issues. The
design went through numerous formal, structural and
material considerations, and at each major design
decision I archived the progress.
Another tool I used was 3D printing, mixing a relatively
new design technology with the raw clay waste of the
area, was in some way a reflection of an ambition to use
local material but in innovative ways.

The Project was strongly defined by a design process
directly linked with engaging the community.
Since the Governments introduction of the Localism bill:
Neighbourhood plans, St. Blazey have begun to formulate a
town plan. Within this context the local parish council have
accosted the help of The Eden Project and Locality to lead
the consultation/ participation of the community. This has
led to a number of occasions for our unit to meet and
dialogue with real clients(the community).

Engaging the community
With high levels of unemployment, due to the decline of the china clay industry, it was important for me to consider
how this development could engage those seeking new employment opportunities to learn new skills. With this in
mind I organised a workshop for local people in timbrel vaulting. I imagined that this workshop and others like it
would become integral to the long term viability of this project. These training course could be linked in with the
education arm of the Eden Project and the Sustainable Building Trust to deliver world class education in sustainable
development and potentially creating the chance for new businesses in sustainable construction to emerge from this
projects realization.
The vault workshop was conducted over a weekend, and was supported by local business and local people. This
workshop embodied the core goal of my proposal, to offer the community a chance to join in with the development
of their built environment.

As part of the proposition was to train local people prior to its
construction, possibly in stages, I wanted to pick a rich pallete of
materials, breaking them in three categories of MUD, STICK &
STONE. Each one having its distinct textural, olfactory and
acoustic qualities. Each material could be explored as individual
courses buy future trainees, and the building would become an
eclectic exploration of the senses as part of the training.
Each of these materials were dictated by their local availability,
their potential to bring people together through their labour
intensive construction processes, giving the opportunity for the
community to join in and invest in the building. My thoughts
were that each completed part of the building could become a
ceremonial occasion for the community.

This time line gives a flavour of the potential projects, businesses and events that could take place over the years as a result of the project foundation vision being grasped and run with. It shows the impacts on the communities sense of well-being and fulfilment, the reduction of environmental impact and the growth of the local economy whilst the dependancy on a monetary system for the provision of human needs decreases.

Y4Y4 PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE-PURL DESIGN LLP
A key concept of the design process was the idea of
gaining ʻmomentum.̓ It is hoped that the provision of a
new sports facility, would not only act to increase the
participation in sports within the town, but through links
with existing sports clubs in the area. With the support of
the YMCA, the hub could also act as a catalyst to raise the
standard of the competitive sports in the area by
providing much needed indoor training facilities for local
athletes.BLA

The construction of the facility itself is intended to present a number of
opportunities for the community to partake in ʻclothingʼ the building.
LOCAL LARCH CHARRING
The timber cladding is proposed to be made from strips from larch trees,
currently being felled from Prideaux wood, then charred to weatherproof it
ecologically. With the addition of glazed areas behind the timber, the building
will emit a soft glow in the evening to beckon people in.
CHINA CLAY BRICK MAKING
This part of building could be formed through a series of workshops call
ʻBring back the Brickʼ hosted by local crafts people, in memory of the once
produced china clay brick at Par. local clay would be sourced to produce the
bricks using an ʻopen sourceʼ CINVA block press, then fired in a temporary
kiln on site. These homemade bricks would then be arranged on panels,
then fixed to the structure to create an undulating ʻskinʼ for the building.
MAKING THE MOST OF THE ROOF SPACE
FLOOD STORAGE AND WILDLIFE
Located on the Flood plain, the architecture will showcase innovative flood
resilient construction. Elevated on stilts, the building will rise above the
predicted flood levels and allow water to be stored underneath giving extra
capacity during times of flooding. In welcoming the water onto the site,
wetland habitats would be created helping local wildlife thrive and connecting
the building with the natural landscape. Rainwater harvesting would also be
integrated to flush the toilets. The sports hub could also potentially become
a refuge center to help displaced residence during times of extreme flooding,
and help facilitate recovery operations.
CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER
Utilizing cross laminated panels and glue laminated beams, the building
structure will be manufactured off site, with absolute precision, then
assembled on site like a giant puzzle.
The panels and beams will be made from timber sourced from sustainably
locally managed woodlands.
The building will utilize both photovoltaic panels and solar thermal panels to
meet electricity and hot water demands. It is also embellished with a green
roof to encourage biodiversity and slow the rate of surface water run off.

PVISITORS GATEWAY & KNOWLEDGE HUB
A new visitor gateway and knowledge hub will aim to raise awareness of the spectacular gardens at Pinetum Park by building new facilities that will enable the increase of activities throughout the day. By providing a unique architectural venue for events and celebrations in the evenings, the new hub will provide greater employment opportuni t ies for local people, contributing to the economic growth of the area and strengthening the Cornwall’s sustainable tourism industry.
The new building will utilize onsite materials for constructing the main elements of the building, to minimize the carbon output during the building phase and as an opportunity to train local people in new vernacular construction techniques.
CONCEPT DESIGN PRODUCED FOR PRE-APPLICATION REQUEST
The building will be easily seen from the road,acting as a beacon for Pinetum Park
