4. After travelling through the building; taken on a journey through its galleries, the visitors finally arrive on the roof. On the
roof exists the sculpture garden, where numerous installations and large works live. The roof is South facing and views of
the harbour and the new city park are possible.
This balcony space acts as platform to view the main, double height, digital space below from a different perspective. Along
this balcony various other digital installations exist. The sound elements overlap inherent in most digital art pieces, unlike
‘still’ works, functions more as an attractive and moody underscore. The total effect is often surprisingly emotional.
Top floor gallery with double height ceiling for large works and installations.
North-East & North-West facing gallery. Internal gallery standard climate is maintained through mechanical ventilation &
heating. The highest performance Low-E glass is used to maintain a steady temperature reducing the amount of mechanical
heating and cooling / energy used.
North facing galleries on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors. Internal gallery standard climate maintained through mechanical
ventilation & heating. The highest performance Low-E glass is used to maintain a steady temperature reducing the
amount of mechanical heating and cooling / energy used.
The entrance way from Cumberland road, which leads through to the public ramp / main atrium. It is surfaced in a hard-
wearing way (concrete). This is due to the amount of people passing through as a short-cut to the Harbour and also to
emphasis that this is an extension to the public street.
The yellow travellator takes visitors on a journey from a main ‘light’ gallery space, through the atrium, and arrives them
immediately into the darkness of a main digital gallery. Effortlessly contrasting the visitors experience; keeping them
awake, alert and excited. The public spaces and functions on the left and back of house operations, workshops, and artist
studios on the right. Artists can be seen working if their internal blinds are open. On certain studio open days the entire
gallery expands in size.
View from the park plinth: continuation of level from Cumberland road to park plinth & Tate Bristol’s back entrance.
Public and staff carpark underneath the park plinth of a capacity of 125 parking spaces.
External ramp. parallel to the Tate Bristol building. Descending from the park plinth / Cumberland road to
the harbour-side promenade
View from the park plinth, looking towards Bristol Harbour in between The Library of Bristol and Tate Bristol.
5. The main atrium connects the Harbour to Cumberland Road. It is seen as a public street (and is surfaced in this way). In
this space large scale installations and sculptures exist. From here the visitor has an immediate understanding of the
building. The different coloured floors help orientate the visitor to understand which gallery and public function exist
on which floor.
Tate Bristol has two levels, on the Eastern side, dedicated to Learning. These Learning Spaces have an abundance of
public computers, which have installed the latest graphic and video software. Instead of having "hot desks" to rent
office space in an isolated room, here we have communal spaces which are open, public and for all.
Throughout the building experience there will be numerous informal installations. In almost seemingly random places, installations,
sculptures, projections and performances will take place. The building's flexibility due to its openness and organisation of the
permanent functions allows for this.
North facing galleries on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors. Internal gallery standard climate maintained through mechanical
ventilation & heating. The highest performance Low-E glass is used to maintain a steady temperature reducing the
amount of mechanical heating and cooling / energy used.
'The Cave' is a large circular space situated below the upper-ground level. This is a flexible industrial space which is used for digital
art installations and non-commercial performances. A public space almost independent and hidden from the rest of the gallery.
Tate Bristol’s main digital art space is on a colossal scale. This space houses a selection of Tate Bristol’s permanent digital
collection. This particular room has a special emphasis on the artist Ryoji Ikeda. Ryoji Ikeda’s work quivers somewhere
between electronic music, digital art, installation and performance. He uses raw materials both visual and sonic: using
giant screens and huge speaker systems, Ikeda gives these hidden elements something approaching the scale and
monumentality of industrial manufacturing processes.
Walking up the main public circulation ramp; parallel and adjacent to the externally surrounding ephemeral skin. Taking visitors
on a journey; wrapping them around the extents of the building. For this ramp; it draws visitors through a main learning space and
directly into the gallery. The circulation of the building is only clear one floor at a time to enhance the experience and discovery of
the building.
The site of Tate Bristol on Spike Island will create a flow of visitors and provide an open anchor, an interior public
space and a meeting place for pedestrians and they will become the city’s new icon, whilst addressing deficiencies
in accessibility, adaptability and lack of space for creative enterprise. Tate Bristol will become a creative and cultural
centre for the city. Tate Bristol will be the social and creative heart of the city, connecting people of all ages, cultures
and backgrounds.
View from across the water from the public space outside of the Llyods Bank. Showing that the Library of Bristol (left)
and the Tate Bristol (right) have equal importance to the city of Bristol demonstrated by the equality of presence on the
Harbour-front sky-line.

SUBSTANTIVE ACCOUNT
As part of our Studio B site anaylsis, I was set the task to ‘map’ the ‘transportation and communication’ within Spike Island.
METHODOLOGICAL ACCOUNT
From a DWG site plan of Spike Island, in Archicad, I started separating areas into their different functions and uses. I made one ‘map’ with all
uses on it and I put each separate use on its own layer. From this one drawing with lots of information - I could then turn off other layers to
poduce a series of drawings which communicated different functions and uses
ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT
Becasue of the amibguity of the spaces on Spike Island - mapping the pedestrian routes was not always straight forward. For example the
pedestrian route or desire way may include cutting through a carpark or an unused/undesignated space. This unplanned aspect to the
island I found quite refreshing. Figure grounds are interesting, but perhaps not always useful. I combined the layers of the figure ground
with the houses back gardens and also restricted zones physical and psychological.
The diagram which explodes these different ‘maps’ upwards - I found not really necessary and it was easier to view these drawings
individually on plan view.

SPIKE ISLAND SITE ANALYSIS: FREEDOM AND CONTROL
SUBSTANTIVE ACCOUNT
As well as mapping the transportation and communications I was also given the task, of
unofficial site analysis, to record the levels of ‘Freedom and Control’ on the island.
METHODOLOGICAL ACCOUNT
As I walked around the site I marked on a scale of 1 to 5 the levels of comfortability I felt
in all areas on Spike Island. Using the same Archicad drawing I recorded these findings
onto the computer and translated the numerical data to the visual representation in the
form of colour.
ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT
Because of the subjectivity of the experiment 3 other people were called in to do the
same task. It appears I felt more comfortable than everyone else. Representing the data
in colour - using the gradient from yellow (comfortable/freedom) to red (control) was
visually informative.

SUBSTANTIVE ACCOUNT
The last three images are of masterplans of the
proposed Whapping Wharf site on Spike Island.
METHODOLOGICAL ACCOUNT
These 3 masterplan drawings were all produced using
Archicad, but the render on the previous page was then
taken into Artlantis where textures were added.
ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT
I feel that this plan on this page is very successful. It is
quite a beautiful drawing and there is more information
for the proposed building. The beige colour of ‘street’/
promandae is continued through the centre of the
proposed building to emphasise that the buildings
atrium space is to be seen as a route through and an
extension of the public realm.
The render on the previous page is very impressive
as it shows that the surrounding buildings have been
modelled and it is possible to view the proposed
buildings in relation to their context. However, the
render does appear very computerized and in that
sense it is not very realistic at all. I think at least placing
some people on this render and boats in the river would
help give that drawing a bit of life.
The wire-frame drawing (2 pages back) is also
impressive. It is good to see the 2 grids (of the proposed
buildings and of the car park/public park plinth. Also it
is possible to understand the heights of the building
with the wire-frame, as well as the topology of land.
However, as far as a wire-frame drawing this one is
not really very useful. Wire-frames are good, but it is
important to be clear about what is being shown. A
wire-frame masterplan is from too far away to be able
to be useful.
MASTERPLAN SKETCHES
INITIAL MASTERPLAN RENDERS
SUBSTANTIVE ACCOUNT
These initial computer renders show the proportionate
dimensions of the newly proposed major buildings in
relation to one another and in relation to the existing
buildings on site.
METHODOLOGICAL ACCOUNT
The existing buildings on this model are just masses and
also, at this point of the design, the proposed buildings
too are simply masses. These masses were all modelled
accurately on Archicad.
ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT
As a means to design from, the modelling of the
exising surrounding buildings and the overall site was
very useful to me. Meaning I could then focus on the
designing of the proposed building(s)

SUBSTANTIVE ACCOUNT
The last three images are of masterplans of the
proposed Whapping Wharf site on Spike Island.
METHODOLOGICAL ACCOUNT
These 3 masterplan drawings were all produced using
Archicad, but the render on the previous page was then
taken into Artlantis where textures were added.
ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT
I feel that this plan on this page is very successful. It is
quite a beautiful drawing and there is more information
for the proposed building. The beige colour of ‘street’/
promandae is continued through the centre of the
proposed building to emphasise that the buildings
atrium space is to be seen as a route through and an
extension of the public realm.
The render on the previous page is very impressive
as it shows that the surrounding buildings have been
modelled and it is possible to view the proposed
buildings in relation to their context. However, the
render does appear very computerized and in that
sense it is not very realistic at all. I think at least placing
some people on this render and boats in the river would
help give that drawing a bit of life.
The wire-frame drawing (2 pages back) is also
impressive. It is good to see the 2 grids (of the proposed
buildings and of the car park/public park plinth. Also it
is possible to understand the heights of the building
with the wire-frame, as well as the topology of land.
However, as far as a wire-frame drawing this one is
not really very useful. Wire-frames are good, but it is
important to be clear about what is being shown. A
wire-frame masterplan is from too far away to be able
to be useful.
28. COMPETITION ENTRY INITIAL DRAWINGS
SUBSTANTIVE ACCOUNT
For a two week project I had to produce two separate
development proposals as competition entries. One of
these competition entries was situated on the Whapping
Wharf site (behind M-Shed). From this, because the ideas
were not yet set in stone and there were many sketches
and ideas still up in the air I wanted the final image to
appear sketchy.
METHODOLOGICAL ACCOUNT
I did make a 3D model in Sketchup to achieve the correct
geometries and perspectives. I then imported it into
Archicad, to use their in built renderer to produce a series
of experiments, to make the computerised model appear
sketchy again. I then hand-drew in some people. I overlaid
various different experiments to produce the final image.
ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT
I found that this way of representing proposals quite
effective. The hand-drawn quality to the picture is
pleasant and ‘soft’ to look at. Also, maybe, it allows
the viewer to use their imagination more. For the final
poster where I included many sketched on one page -
perhaps this was not the most effect way of presenting a
competition entry. I wanted to show that there was lots of
ideas and potentials about several different buildings on
the site, but perhaps this came across as confusing and
too much information on one page.

What quality does the enclave bring to the

An enclave is a territory whose geo-
graphical boundaries lie enƟrely with-
in the boundaries of another territory.

1. Enclosure
The basic design objecƟve of the masterplan is to enclose the site. This is achieved by arranging the buildings with the same qualiƟes; the same
funcƟon (their floor plans), and their modules (their facades). The basic layout of the blocks consists of 5 story buildings according to the average
height of the immediate neighboring buildings.
This can be seen as the convenƟonal way of creaƟng an enclave in most European ciƟes. What should be focused on here is the 3 addiƟonal
stories placed on top of the two buildings in the North-East and North-West. This can be thought of as an unavoidable choice for the architect.
Pouillon, increased the density of these parƟcular, North-facing, blocks, in order not to cast a shadow on the inside of the residence.
2. Extra volume
The appearance of the tall building is re-
duced with several strategies;
Pouillon divided the building verƟcally
with the upper part being recessed,
creaƟng a running balcony. AddiƟonally,
he divided the face of the upper part,
verƟcally, into narrow planes of glass,
with repeƟƟve mullions. With these two
strategies the façade can be seen lighter
and less imposing.
The placing of the low-rise garages
reduces the apperance of the high-rise
building again This was an unavoidable
choice, because the space where the
low-rise garages exist would be un-
suitable for high-rise buildings, as they
would be too close to the neighbouring
houses, physically; for casƟng a shadow
and also psychologically; the buildings
were set back, from the road, to create
open space.
figure 3.7: Inner Volumes L-shape
and Tower
volumetric definiƟon 6
3. Inner volumes
Tower
The tower funcƟons as a Landmark, but is not higher than the tall
rectangular blocks behind it. The ground floor is open. The tower
is seen higher than it is, because of the facade of the upper part
(of the 8 story buildings), in the distance, in relaƟon to the 4 story
building.
L shape building
Intriguingly, this building is 4 stories high, which is one story less to
its adjoining block. The reason for this is explained below;
1. Improving the inƟmacy; the minus 1 story, ‘L’ shaped, building
helps the complex maintain the enclave, whilst not being too high,
as of the other buildings (of 5 stories), thus not to impose its height
on the inside of the site.
2. To maintain, geometrically, the principle of an enclave; the ‘L’
shaped building, of 4 stories, emphasizes the enclave within the en-
Ɵre complex. To make the longest block to be read as one.
With this building an inƟmate atmosphere is created within the in-
ner space, separaƟng the court into several parts. Without the ‘L’
shape building, the residenƟal complex would be too monumental,
too monotonous, and also too open to the outside

CirculaƟon
There is a strong separaƟon between car parking zone and pedes-
trian zone. Car parking spaces surrounding housing blocks act as
buffer zones that mediate inner blocks and the streets.
Inner landscape
The architect divided the inner court into the paves and green spac-
es. Trees is arranged to play an important role – translucent volume.
Plaza is designed to be like a cozy garden surrounded by tall trees
and wall made of bushes. Tall trees cast shade on the square and act
like buffer for privacy.
Boundaries
The architect used physical boundaries and psychological boundar-
ies in landscaping; lawns can be crossed but is felt like barriers. And
also hedges hide up the plaza.

Square
In this secƟon of the enclave, a large open space is wrapped around
by a single building, thus creaƟng the same atmosphere of a
square.

37. DESIGN RESEARCH EXPERIMENT: FACADE PANELS
SUBSTANTIVE ACCOUNT
For my design Research module I was attempting to articulate
my abstract paintings into architecture. For this iteration of
this project I was attempting to create a facade panel from a
simplified part of the painting
METHODOLOGICAL ACCOUNT
The painting was mirrored at certian places to create a repetitive
pattern which was then simplified for the creation of the facade
panel. This facade design was then traced over in CAD and
tweaked in order to be properly/physically translated into a
facade panel which represents an iron gate.
ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT
This was seen as a solution (to articulate the abstract into
architecture), which was too obvious. Firstly, because the
abstract was simplified too much turning it into almost a
symbol. This was then repeated for the purpose of fabrication.
Also then the design or the simplified art, as a façade, remains 2
dimensional and flat.
SUBSTANTIVE ACCOUNT
Here I applied the chosen facade panel onto a 3D sectional
facade of a building. I was attempting to see how the facade
panel will connect to the building and what the facade will
look like from inside and from outside.
METHODOLOGICAL ACCOUNT
I drew up a generic sectional facade in 3D in Sketchup. I
imported the facade panel from Rhino into Sketchup and
then copied the panel along. In Sketchup I designed the
connectionsl.
ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT
Generally, I was very pleased with the outcome of these
drawings. I find 3D details much easier to understand and
drawing it up in 3D allowed me to really make sense of how
the facade panels will connect to the facade.
DESIGN RESEARCH EXPERIMENT: FACADE PANELS
SUBSTANTIVE ACCOUNT
Instead of the facade panel being
a separate member to the facade I
decided to integrate the abstraction
process into the facade itself.
METHODOLOGICAL ACCOUNT
I used a similar simplified artwork
detail, but in this case enlarged it
(from single panel to entire facade).
I made this experimental model in
Rhino
ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT
I found that these working
drawings were interesting and this
experiment answered the design
research question more accurately;
to translate the abstract into
architectural space.

I decided to integrate the abstraction process into the facade itself.
METHODOLOGICAL ACCOUNT
I used a similar simplified artwork detail, but in this case enlarged it
(from single panel to entire facade). I made this experimental model
in Rhino. I exported the file from Rhino to a 3DS and then imported
that into Artlantis where I added the people, the sky and the city.
ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT
This render I really liked. Although it is not a realistic render of a
building (like the facade panel 3D sectional detail) - it has a certain
visual quality to it in the form of a vision of a potential idea. It shows
the vision. The first thought, unrestricted by technical concerns.

The re-design will include the installation of a laminated glass Barrel Vault Skylight.
The architectural goal is to maximum transparency by optimization of structure
and glazing.
The Skylight will be supported by a similar space frame structure, to the one which
exists already.
Further research has determined that it is necessary to remove the existing, roof
supporting, space frame structure, so therefore the installation would accompany
a completely new structure (rather than adding on to the existing one).
The Barrel Vault Skylight will let in an abundance of natural daylight, increasing the
working conditions, as good light is essential, whilst reducing the use of artificial
lights, therefore saving much energy (during the daytime).
Plus, the Skylight; aesthetically will make the Atrium much more spectacular.

The problems of the need to provide extensive cooling in summer
and insulation in winter inevitably arise with the use of large glazed
structures.
With the design of a Barrel Vault, laminated glass, Skylight, with
installed Photovoltaic films on top of the glass creating a shading
system that optimizes the flows of heat and light energy, whilst
utilizing this energy. This in turn may has a significant positive effect
in reducing the heat load and glare, enhancing the use of natural
daylight, whilst harvesting this energy, and increasing the insulation
of the building, through the use of the appropriate choice of glass,
thereby enhancing working conditions and reducing the operating
costs of the building.

48. 9POLLUTED POND
On location drawings showing sections
through a nala (an external drain, which
was flooding on a regular basis and was
causing dangerous situation for the locals.
This polluted ‘pond’ is the result of an
overflowed nala. Many nalas from the
site flow this way and this particular nala
overflows because it is a bottle neck and
uncapable of retaining all the dirty water.
As well as the dirty water overflowing the
area becomes a spiral of decline as much
rubbish is then consequently dumped
here. Luckily this overflow is naturally
made better than I first thought as the
naurally growing plants filter the dirty
water. This nala in times of flood will not
work as a filter and the dirty water will
spread, polluting the surrounding area.
POLLUTED LAKE 8
On location section through
a polluted stagnant swamp.
Several nalas flow into this
polluted pond. It is the result of
approxamately 40 homes waste-
water. This neglected area has also
fallen into a spiral decline as it now
is also used as a small dumping
ground. The pond is likely to exist
at a very low point of the site, so
therefore the water , due to gravity
is not able to flow anywhere;
creating a stagnant pond of
polluted water. It may be possible
that this pond has been man made
as a flood relief zone, in times of
monsoon. When on site we saw
some children throw a live tortose
into the polluted pond. For sure the
tortose would die from this. This
polluted area is an important area
to clean and regenerate.
ON-SITE LAND SURVEY 5
The Map shows the flow and direction of the
nalas (external drains), polluted swamps, areas of
neglect and the flow of people (the routes they
take and where they cross the railway tracks).

On location land survey, drawn on our first day on site. Here we had to map a part of the slum
which was not present on any map before (centre). This preliminary survey shows signs of
looking into nala flow direction, land use and locating areas of neglect. All of which were further
realised on later surveys in the following days on site.
