Inspiration from Christopher Whitehead: ‘’I have

Inspiration from Christopher Whitehead:

‘’I have been exploring a complex site underneath a disused arch above the River Medlock, designing a queer nightclub, printing press and archive. [...[ As my site is a functioning railway bridge, work to the structure would have been costly, and difficult to justify, so therefore I wanted to create a model to demonstrate parts that are not changeable. By building a massing model of the interior space inside the arch.

Over the course of the project, I have used this model to iteratively test different spatial configurations as well as facade options and structural elements.

Other models across the year have influenced this modelling journey, starting with sketch models and then constructing a rough site model using papier mache from recycled newspaper cuttings and my own prints from the project. I have really enjoyed using found materials throughout my modelling, such as the orange fabric that was obtained in Berlin during a FLUX: Lab on Tempelhofer Feld.
