The c i ty has become predic table.

There ex is ts a t ransformat ive dynamic condi t ion. Inspi ra t ion is taken f rom the concepts o f the S i tua t ion is t In te rnat ionale and the work o f E isenman, and wi th regards to the Spine of the L iverpool docks.

The l i fe o f the dockers is an impor tan t par t o f L iverpool ’s h is tory. Spaces are synthes ised for the past and present dockers, ou t o f ex is t ing forms and ar t i f ic ia l excavat ions, to create a sense of re juventa ted explora t ion.

A pandemonium of serendip i ty and events wi th in the R iver Mersey.

An analys is o f edges, ex is t ing fabr ic and ar t i f ic ia l archaelogy suggest fu ture proposals o f fu r ther spontaneous synthes is , provok ing a labyr in th o f cur ios i ty and exper iences.

There are in tervent ions wi th in the ex is t ing fabr ic that remain sur real and ambiguous to the sur rounding. A l though cont rary, they in teract w i th the i r sur roundings in order to se t condi t ions o f non-predetermined act ions and for tunate happenstance to occur. The dynamic energy of the c i ty is revealed.

A key to th is is the conf l ic t ing re la t ionship between the empt iness of the fu ture, empt iness of the present and the empt iness of the past .

Wi th in the s i te l ies a connect ion between Adr ian Henr i and the landscape. Landscape and poet ry come together.

Urban landscapes such as Parc de la V i l le t te feature a gr id format ion that is super imposed (by both Tschumi and Koolhaas) to a l low for p lacement o f spaces and pav i l ions.

Tak ing re ference f rom ‘L iverpool Poem’ by Adr ian Henr i , the suggested poin ts o f in te res t are super imposed to es tabl ish and locate nodal poin ts o f communi ty spaces, and the pr iva te poet ’s re t reats. The format ion o f the gr id shows the l ines o f in te rsect ion as the main communi ty space.

Three prevalen t l ines form th is in tersect ion. From th is , i t can be determined that there is a sub-gr id and grouping of spaces wi th in the communi ty space, which are sub-div ided in to formal and in formal spaces, serv ing accommodat ion, a l ib rary and a theat re.

The cent ra l nuc leus is connected by a skyspace, in f luenced by James Tur re l l . The feature o f the pass ing of t ime a l lows poets to gain inspi ra t ion and is a d i rec t l ink to the sur roundings - a constant reminder o f the ever-changing landscape.

In each and every c i ty, there ex is ts a spi r i tua l condi t ion that is not a lways apparent . Tak ing inspi ra t ion f rom the work o f Tschumi, and wi th regards to four speci f ic locat ions, cer ta in format ions of passageways and spaces connect to create areas of sp i r i tua l resonance; a ser ies o f s topping poin ts in the urban landscape.

Pause. Look. Cl imb. Jump. Walk. Hide. Explore. Osmosis.

The f lu id i ty o f the c i ty cont ras ts wi th the nodal poin ts to regain a sense of sp i r i tua l i ty wi th in the c i ty boundar ies - p laces to pause. A mapping of p laces creates a mat r i x o f events.

An analys is o f edges, th resholds, and enclosures suggest ley l ines o f energy, which provoke a not ional labyr in th o f connect ions.

These suspended sol id s ta tes are in tervent ions in the c i ty, which remain ambiguous, f ragmented, and the the condi t ions are se t fo r ac t ions and percept ions to ocur r, conveying the h idden energy in the c i ty.

The re la t ionship to the sky is a k ind of pathe t ic fa l lacy, which t rans la tes in to a conveyance of moods and condi t ions.
