Star Guitar

e main thing I was looking at in this project was the way in which the director monopolised the eld of view as the train travelled. In the chronogram I tried to show how there was an element of repetition and overlap.

I was also interested in the seated position of the viewer in relation to what could be seen by the viewer.

e director used a graph and arbitatry objects such as oranges, forks and wooden spoons to map out the video before it was designed.

Star Guitar is the second single from e Chemical Brothers 2002 album Come with Us. e song reached number eight in the UK Singles Chart, number two on the American dance chart and number one in the UK Dance Chart. Wikipedia

Its Gondry & coguring out how Star Guitar should actually work. It starts with sketches - which are themselves mesmerizing - but ends with a ridiculous mock-up of thelm laid out in a school playground using sneakers, oranges, video cassettes and broomsticks. Brilliant to watch. BEN MALBON

Docklands Light Railway

Abstraction of Sight:e Eye: Instrument of Intrusion

e mapping of time and space is key to this project. During a journey on the DLR, it was noted that the movement of the trains caused a transition for the passenger. It was a smooth transition one that moves from one station to another with acute accuracy and according to the tube map available at the stations. I wanted to take thismap and cut it up and stitch the pathway of the DLR and the stations in a random order and then see how this a ects the passenger. Does the transition actually make a dierence?

Focus on forms in the distance is another key aspect, one is not limited by theireld of vision as they would be in transit on foot. You are free to experience the sensory data without restrictions. is allows a merging of the public and private spaces. Not only can you experience the visual you can also engage in sound information without

the barriers of geological or social protocols.

When we jump from one visual setting to another does this register a signicant event in the mind? ere is the idea that these spaces disappear or are lost in time and space. Is there is disjoint in the eye, memory and sensory information? e mind sees no division between public and private, these notions are dislocated in themovement of the DLR train carriage on the railway line. An image is then formed through the displacement and fragmentation of the spaces. is leaves the question of what the spaces between the fragmented spaces actually are and do? is leads to the lm, which gives a sense of the mind space in between the movement, thus

putting time at the forefront as it remains the constant. How would the brain react to this? It is (almost) as if two dierent spaces, one sealed, the other permeable compete to occupy the same moment in time.e author seems to indicate a complete merger of the inside and outside space, which in relation to the DLR is divided bythe thin, transparent layer of glass that separates the passenger from fully engaging with the physical environment in a tactile way. is is not only practical but also necessary for the way in which people engage in the activity of travelling on the DLR. It is almost as if a certain space was shattered and it did not disappear the speed

of the DLR could be said to shatter through the dierent time spaces causing a psychological reaction.

Crossing the barrier from the public to the private is done by movement (the movement of the feet or other transportation mechanism), eyesight (when spaces are not screened o) or by sound (this could indicate private conversations on the trains or train operative jargon that should be private but due to the connement of the spaceit is actually public). e daydream can be a signicant private space, which is then interrupted by other sounds that cross this barrier and therefore become public. is daydream could then be broken up by something quite dramatic, it can cause the mind to snap out of it and then forced to interact in the public realm. ere is never a

real moment of calm or silence due to these constraints.

Architecture is appreciated in a state of distraction again links to the idea of sensory information and sensory receptors in the brain cause the experience of a journey on the DLR to be understood in Architectural space. In this project the visual receptors and senses are most signi cant.e eye (mind) then becomes the instrument ofintrusion, more than just a camera but also a gateway to representation.

Royal Albert DocksSite Analysise LDDC

What was the LDDC?e Corporation was an urban development corporation, the second to be established by the then Secretary of State for the Environment, Michael Heseltine, under s.136 of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980. Its object was to secure the regeneration of the London Docklands Urban Development Area (UDA)comprising 8 square miles of East London in the Boroughs of Tower Hamlets, Newham and Southwark. is was a response to a huge decline in the economy of the area brought about by the progressive closure of the docks (and dock related activity) from the 1960s onwards. Years later, in his book Life in the Jungle*, Michael

Heseltine wrote:

I had found myself in in small plane, heading in that direction by way of the Londons East End. My indignation at what was happening on the South Bank was a s nothing compared to my reaction to the immense tracts of dereliction I now observed. e rotting docks - long since abandoned for deep-water harbours able to takemodern container ships downstream - the crumbling infrastructure that had once supported their thriving industry and vast expanses of polluted land left behind by modern technology and enhanced environmentalism. e place was a tip: 6,000 acres of forgotten wasteland

ere had been attempts by the local authorities to deal with this. ese are described in an LDDC monograph Initiating Urban Change published in 1997 - see below. ese eorts were perceived by the Government to be much too slow and there was a need for resources on a scale which it would only make available through afocussed agency of its own. LDDC was whollynanced by grant from the Government and the income generated by the disposal of land for housing, industrial and commercial development.

(* Hodder and Stoughton, 2000, ISBN 0 340 73915 0 - see pa ges 130,153, 200, 211-214, 380, 397-398 and 515. Among LDDC veterans Michael Heseltine is regarded as the father of the Corporation)

Powers

Although its inuence in the area was undoubtedly very strong, LDDCs powers were limited:It had powers to acquire land by agreement or compulsory purchase and, in the case of the large amount of land in the public sector, there were powers for it to be vested in the Corporation by the Secretary of State.is ensured a supply of land for development.

It took over from the London Boroughs their planning (but not their plan making) powers.is was response to the Governments perception that the Boroughs had been too restrictive in exercising their development control and other powers because their plans for the area were outmoded and inappropriate.It had powers, and the resources, to provide new (or refurbish the existing) infrastructure.

Apart from planning all other public services (housing, education, health etc) remainedrmly in the hands of the Boroughs and other public agencies although the Corporation could and did provide funds for their development and improvement.e Corporations lack of remit in this respect was often misunderstood by those who feltthe LDDC should do more to revitalise these services for the benet of local people.

Royal Albert Docks Site AnalysisBoris Johnson (Mayor of London) and Sir Robin Wales (Mayor of Newham) have outlined the Royal Albert Docks as a development site in which they want to develop a new employment hub and a world class business destination. ey have also added that they would like the site to be developed as a Knowledge Nexus that

specialises in research and developments, thus bridging the gap between the proposed business development and the University of East London. ey have specially mentioned that they want to work with occupiers, investors and real estate developers. I think this could be an interesting approach to the site.

e FutureIN most of the LDDCs area the Corporation work was suciently complete, and the momentum of regeneration such, that there was no need for a specialised agency to take over its role. e Boroughs and other local agencies were left to carry on the work. In the Royal Docks, however, the Corporations there was a good deal of

outstanding work.is was taken over by another agency of the central government, English Partnerships, working in collaboration with the London Borough of Newham to whom the LDDCs planning powers were restored. e joint team established for this purpose operated from oces on the north side of the Royal Albert Dockjust opposite the Airport.

In July 2000, the interests, assets and liabilities of English Partnerships in the London region transferred to the new London Development Agency (LDA).e LDA joined the nine other Regional Development Agencies which were set up in 1999 but unlike the others, the LDA is answerable to the Mayor of London, and is one offour bodies for which the Mayor is responsible (the others being the Metropolitan Police, Fire Authority and Transport for London). Recent and new developments in the Royal Docks are the subject of another article on this site

i chose these design precedents as they show the way in which landscape can be integrated into the design and becomes the most interesting part of the use of the building.ey also give an insight into the potentials of the site and design capabilities.

Design Precedents

IPAC / Sander Architects

Sander Architects was awarded rst place with their design for the IPAC, a new performing arts center for Idyllwild ArtsAcademy, one of the countrys top three feeder high schools for the arts. Situated in the mountains outside Los Angeles, the IPAC

rests on one side of the site, with the empty space forming a new green quad at the heart of campus.

e walkable roof will be landscaped with drought-tolerant greenery and provide additional seating for concerts. When moviesare projected onto theeater Fly Tower, the roof will provide an outdoor movie theater viewing area. e panel designs are

inspired by the foliage in the area.

e building demonstrates S ander Architects hybrid-construction concept, which uses recycled light-gauge metal buildingcomponents that will be manufactured o-site using computer-controlled processes. By using this construction method, Sander

Architects has greatly reduced the cost of previous projects, and estimates that this proposal will be 30% below the budget.

After reading through special texts and looking carefully at my site analysis, it is clear to see a museum would be the best approach to this site.It is abandoned and empty as if it has potential and it seems as through it is stuck in a time-warp of the past and cannot carry on.

e research into corruption and the dealings of the LDDC brought the idea of what would happen if the docks were revived. In the historical mapping it is clear to see that the idea of the docks is itself false.e area was actually a wasteland in the past and was utilised into something useful that can produce revenue for the Docklands. One of the strongest themes is the idea of corruption and the expression of this.

I like the idea of investigating the materialisation of the landscape as proposed in 1997.

e next few pages show how my design has developed from a box to the design shown in the next pages. I over-layed tracing paper to decide on design issues.

oneis diagram shows the need for a masterplan on the site.e design should also allow for f reeowing access through the site and this could act as a connection from the DLR s tation to the oces and existing London Regatta Centre.e section below shows the way in whichthe pitched roof will sit on sit and how it communicates and relates to the DLR overhead.

twois diagram shows the way in which the spaces relate to each other on site.

It also shows the way in which people can engage with the landscape and roof-scape as well as engaging with the site itself.I was thinking of proposing a 2-storey building with the restaurant and exhibition on the Ground Floor and the services on the First Floor.

e grid structure used to set the dimensions of the proposal have been set to mimic the dimensions and geometry of the current Council O ces.is also serves as a direct construction link and ensures that the synthesis of the council o ces and the landscape is a smooth one.

e number of columns also uctuates with the functions of each of the areas on site. is allows for the smooth landscape to be dramatic.e grid structure also enhances the idea of zoning and creates a basis for the accommodation on the site including speci cs such as roof lights and areas of ventilation.

SUDs STRATEGY

e SuDS strategy on site enables rainwater and grey water to be harvested and recycled as it is used in the heating and cooling system of the building.e fact that the roof is sloped allows for a constant ow of rain water on the surface, the vegetation and substrate also act as an absorbent sponge that allows the water to be used on site for a ourishing garden.

e caps on the edge of the landscape also double up as a drainage system that allows the water to be contained and recycled.

e revised landscape strategy allows for a smoother roof geometry and can be built using standard systems, therefore saving on costs.e landscape is also more likely to ourish with vegetation due to this change in geometry.

is change also allows for the landscape to be read more clearly, whether from a view on the DLR or when walking along the docks.is change in design has also allowed for an ease in construction and requires less speci c engineering works.
