5/50

Upon discovering The Odeon it became clear that there wasan opportunity to reintroduce the neighbourhood into itsabandoned buildings. Especially in the case of The Odeon;a building of historical signi cance and value to its commu-nity. The Petition started by the neighbourhood in December 2011 aims to prevent The Odeon (the last of its kind) frombeing eradicated and turned into a shopping centre - com-plete with underground parking.

Instead the neighbourhood demands that it be restored or reinvented in a carefeul and inventive manner. This project aims to look at the potential of The Last Odeon to reignitethe populations interest in embracing - and most impor-tantly - using their buildings. In so doing the project seeksto reaf rm a sense of inhabitation into a seemingly brokenand unused city.

The petitioners and owners have proposed a new brief for The Last Odeon, one that satis es both parties. The new purpose for the Last Odeon is to display what Portugal

Gallery Screens The Galleries

The iron masonry with coloured glazing original is in need of repair. The masonry will be kept - but the coloured glass will not.Instead they will be offset from new, separate walls of glazing to

provide a screen for the strong sun from the south.

The Galleries provide an opportunity for visitors to escape the more dimly lit spaces within and experience the sunshine and daylight.Their occupancy of these galleries will also bring life to the building

for the pedestrians. Once again informing the neighbourhood of its occupancy and rescue

DESIGN INTENTThe project proposes the magic mountain is stripped of its unused skin to reveal the listed beams as part of anew frame. Within the high rising corridor of frames growsa large tropical biome, with a research institute feeding directly off it. Complete with labs, walkways and viewing decks for both researchers and visitors, the institute isdedicated to seed regeneration, research and educationof all that we can bene t from the Amazonian biome.The researchers are very much a part of the attraction,the work and effort that so often goes unseen can be themost interesting to observe. Feeding off the base of thebiome, on the other side of its river, remains the London

Zoo aquarium. A labr ynth of tanks and labs that main-tains the darkly lit atmosphere that has come to de ne

the ZSL aquarium. As in the biome, visitors are shown theprocess and research going into such work as regener-ating communities and preserving coral. The key to thisdesign is the sense of freedom visitors will have to wonderthrough its spaces and will continually be drawn on to thenext intriguing space.

SECOND FLOOR PLANThe boot[h]s create a sense of personal space for thedesigners. They function both as a studio and advertis-ment for their products as their space is on display for all visitors to see (both above and below). Some of thelounging areas are upstairs amongst the studios allowing

visitors to socialise and watch as the designers work.

The wall that ltrates the water for the sh pedicurecan` be heard and viewed from nearly throughout thewhole building. The green wall that ltrates the water runs up to the top oor, con rming the oors to be very much connected. Even those that leave their baggage at the ground level just for storage wil be able to hear theinterior of the structure through the void created by thehandbag halt.

SECTION1 ATRIUMS

The atriums are a result of the negative spaces created by the pathways and studios that intrude on the central space. Each one is different in size and creates thresholds to makemoving through the structure more interesting and to create a sense of adventure and unpredictability after walking the monotonous length of Oxford St.

2 STUDIOS / BOOT[H]S

Visitors walk amongs the studios and are able to pause in the spaces between. The artistswork-in-progress hangs above them. As if they are clothes for sale but in fact they areun nished products. If one is interested in the product they are forced to engage with thedesigner.

3 CAFE

The cafe provides a place for visitors to remain longer in the space. Often eating on Oxford Street is just a continuation of the chaos and noise. Views to the back of house offer intrigu-ing and vastly different views of the area. A reminder of the process and work that goes onbehind the seemingly perfect act of consuming.

4 PLANT FILTRATION/FISH PEDICURE

The plants provide an injection of green and the moOxford St. Bringing an element of nature into the anStreet. The green within connects the interior w ith twall are very much a part of the same space.

DOHA COLLEGECompetition, Doha, Qatar

global learning village under one iconic roof

A design that is embedded into the context of Doha, yet delivers an environment that is idealfor the British curriculum. The Graphics that follow were as a result of my SketchUp model and Iproduced the graphics presented here.

DESIGN ADAPTABILITY

These graphics were produced in order to rep-

resent the exibility of the design and its ability to change with the curriculum and methods of teaching.

The key to the design was the connection tothe outside and the encouragement of outdoor learning.
