@maream_merza ‘’Embodying the concept of the project ‘The Low-Main Depot’ “experimental changes”, the models start off with a 1:10 model which evolves to refined 1:20 models represented and encased in a 1:1 model of the scaffold structure, in this case, with a shelf. These models seek to experiment with the extent and potential of steel material and its effect on the relationship with the interiors of the functions introduced to the building. They are presented in a way that would allow for further experimentation or flexible change to occur to explore the possibilities of architectural design.[...]
The 1:10 model was an early moment of early site takeover using scrap materials that make an enclave of a space in the Mayfield Depot. This experiment helped in informing the design of the next models to be much more refined.
The 4 x 1:20 models explore how four different functions (pop-up gardens, gallery, co-working space and food research lab) can be connected to create new configurations. All of which sit within a 3x3m scaffold grid grounded in the existing concrete of the site in the early phases of the project as an affordable response to adaptive reuse. [...]
The 1:1 section model of the scaffold seeks to understand its construction in practice whilst trying to learn about its loading, connections and ways of occupying the scaffolds.[...] This model presents itself as a real-life experiment for both architectural and construction understanding.
