Presenting a few renders by the MArch 1 tech-wiz @yung.y.wu !
This project is all about blending modernity with Cumbria’s rich history, revitalizing a once-decaying industrial site into a dynamic coworking space. Here, culture, creativity, retail, community, and shared offices converge to create a multifunctional hub. By retaining the original industrial charm of the mill while incorporating modern elements like a glazing curtain system, solar panel roofing, and timber structures, these will breathe new life into the space. The juxtaposition of rough sandstone and sleek glazing, adding a unique flair, isn’t just to preserve industrial heritage for nostalgia’s sake, but to infuse it with a sense of contemporary vitality.

Well done to all involved in the 2024 Research Methods Exhibition! Open until 29th Jan in the MSA Gallery on the second floor of Manchester Technology Centre
Well done to everyone who braved the snow to attend our first M.Arch2 Atelier Enthusiasms lecture of the year. On show were seven different takes on architectural tectonics from across our studio ateliers. See you in 2 weeks for the environment session!
@themsarch
Five weeks into the new academic year, and it looks like everyone in the M.Arch is getting into their groove... keep it up, don't let the rain get to you!

Showcasing the work of second year March student Arif Izzuddin Bin Arif Ismail @tepaktinta@ahr.aki from the Infrastructure Space atelier @infra_structure.space
Here is what the student has to say about the work.
Project: "Embodied" The Last Vacation
The project delves into the concept of the "human demise." We aim to develop a procedure that harnesses the resources and energy generated from a human's passing, while simultaneously exploring an alternative timeline where these resources and energy form the foundation of a new architectural dimension within Cumbria region specifically in Penrith. Through this endeavor, we seek to create innovative building materials and expand the possibilities of constructing structures.
We explored a holistic approach by not solely focusing on the physical infrastructure and operational systems of the premises. It delves deeply into the intricate nuances of human behavior, acknowledging the significance of spatial qualities, lighting, emotions, and cultural backgrounds that are inherently intertwined with the experiences surrounding funerals and death. Moreover, the project is keenly aware of the profound emotions and personal connections associated with funeral rituals and the concept of death. Cultural backgrounds, traditions, and beliefs are thoughtfully integrated into the design and implementation processes. By honoring and respecting diverse cultural perspectives, the project aims to create spaces that resonate with individuals from different backgrounds, fostering inclusivity and understanding.
By deeply considering these human behavioral aspects and plug it into the designated infrastructure system, the project strives to create an environment that goes beyond mere functionality. It seeks to provide a profound and meaningful experience for individuals navigating the challenging and sensitive moments associated with funerals and the overall concept of death.

As a continuation of Professional Studies 01 series of work, we are pleased to showcase the work of Guy Pope @archipope from @flux_atelier_msa atelier.
Here is what the student has to say about the project.
Project name: Sundial
This hospice centre in Mayfield encourages interaction between local artists and residents, in teaching the lessons learnt at the end of life to the public. This aims to give both agency to the residents and provide an invaluable resource to the public, offering suggestions on how to engage more wholly with their lives. The hospice will be converted into an art gallery after 25 years, displaying the works created by the artists during the first phase. After 35 years and in its final stage, only the brick structure will remain, providing an open air performance space and folly for the park.
The design is named the Sundial due to its use of natural light that encourages introspection and an awareness of the present moment.
