Inspiration from Tianyu Zheng: ‘Touchstone for Yo Inspiration from Tianyu Zheng:

‘Touchstone for Younger Housing in Crewe’

“This conceptual model is a touchstone exercise by CTY Atelier, serves to test the structural narrative of my housing proposal. The model re-imagines new co-living housing in Crewe, exploring how new construction technologies can be combined with the town’s railway heritage during the post-railway urban regeneration. The model tests two different construction logics— suspend and stack, which correspond to two possible structural strategies for deck access. 

The red bricks from demolished existing buildings are domestically reused through concrete casting and tile production, embedding material memory into the new fabric. And for the details, these are treated not merely as structural depictions but as autonomous design elements.

By integrating Crewe’s railway colour palette and architectural details, the design narrates the town’s railway story in a subtle and continuous tone. Thank you to the B.15 staff for their patience and guidance in supporting a wide range of model-making techniques, including laser cutting, sanding, and especially the Jesmonite casting and polishing”
