Inspiration from Lucy Haggis: ‘’Emerging from Inspiration from Lucy Haggis:

‘’Emerging from a critical investigation into the declining quality and quantity of urban green space in Manchester, symptomatic of neoliberal power structures within urban design, this project evolved as a critique of the dominant paradigms of commercially driven, high-density development. Responding to the withdrawal of industry from Manchester’s urban core. 
At the centre of the model, the rainwater harvesting tower and a wheel for drawing canal water are painted white, their material finish intentionally contrasting with the surrounding timber frame structures to highlight moments of synergistic integration between infrastructure and natural processes within the scheme. [...] The Bio-Assembly: Reclaiming the City as a Socio-Ecological Commons. Final presentation model at 1:100 scale, illustrating the relationship between built forms and the urban landscape.
[...]
Enhancing understanding of site topography through constructing the layers of the site model by hand, alongside design development emphasising form finding and structural strategy development through iterative models.’’
