Photo Concept

Diagram from the Doorn Manifesto, 1954, Team 10.

 The city has lost ties with the isolate field and in turn nature too.

So i propose to bring nature back into the city and take an element from the isolate and place it in the city.

I need a big bold element so it draws attention and acts as a symbol. for this i chose a mountain. Due to the lake district running into the north of lancashire i then had a look at the mountains. the biggest one in this area is called 'Scafell Pike' it is also the biggest mountain in England. As far as big and bold go, this is a winner.

 

Photo montage showing my concept.

From left to right:

First of all the concept starting off as a large mass. Then the addition of the the central void which will act as a semi public/semi private space where street performs may perform etc. Then lowering the south side down to the ground to allow maximum natural light into the building and the green space. Then simply just a slit at the bottom to allow for the route into the space in the middle or into the building at either side. This final form is also derived from Scafell Pike - the largest mountain in the Lake District, it too is a horseshoe shape which opens up to the south.
