01 INTRODUCTION TO WINCHESTER
Exploring a first look into Winchester and some of the climate and
urban conditions analysed from research on the town

ac k nowle dg e me nts
Firstly to my tutors, Mr Guido Robazza and Mr Alessandro Melis, for constantly pushing me towards exploring new experimental ideas and concepts. I would be a completely different man without their
support and encouragement
Secondly to Mr Josh Rigelsford and Mr Glyn Whibly for seeing me through the toughest periods and having my back. Their loyalty and support has kept me going throughout third year!
Several changes have been made in response to critical feedback during reviews. For the purproses of this portfolio, all changes are adequately highlighted using a circular dot. A list of prescribed
changes and the reasoning behind them are listed in the page changelog.

WINCHESTER
uRBAN INvestigation

Winchester is a rather unique idyllic location to undertake any
Architectural project. Home to the iconic Winchester Cathedral, this
old Roman town still remains culturally attached to its Roman, Normal
and Medieval roots, and is now the area of residence for a significant
working and retired population. However recently, it has undergone a
few changes, with the city recieving a injection of youthful local university
citizens. On top of this, there is a strong national demand to increase the
level of housing within all countys, particuarly in the wake of Brexit.
The projects based in this portfolio are grounded in the belief, that
a more radical approach to designing our homes and
urban infrastructure is required to keep up with these
challenges. Therefore, we must show that we a capable of these
demands in both Urban and Rural areas, and set a precedent on its
effectiveness. The projects also aim to prove that radical design does not
have to exist in isolation, but can co-operate with existing infrastructure,

On top of this, Winchester also heavily relies on Tourism. Famous for its Winchester Cathedral, cultural Architecture and local
wildlife, Winchester is a desirable idyllic setting. Without it, the capability of Winchesters economy is under question.
In the view of this portfolio, there are some tangible links between these districts and their level of co-operation. However, the city
feels extremely divided from an external perspective. People living on the outskirts lack a more local community area, and are
isolated historic town
forced to travel to the city for convenient goods. Whilst the presence of super-markets are present, they actually de-value the idea of
local integration. A visit to the shops becomes a consumerist idea rather than a social one. Furthermore, the divide in the population
pyramid means that the elderly and youthful section of the population are not properly interacting and engaging with the local
community. A system must be put in place to facilitate a new method of integration.

THE INVASIVE
PARADIGM
U301 - uRBAN INTERGRATION
12
In the first project, an extensive study was conducted on the extent
of Urban demographic relationships within the city, and analysing the
neccessary requirements of the city.
It was found that the city is an extensive organism, that is slowly being
polluted and congested. However, an artificial restraint is placed upon
the city, listed buildings and the desire to preserve the heritage of the
town restrict the potential development of the urban centre.
What is also interesting about this urban centre, is the lack of social
provocation. The contrasting demographics do not interact with each
other in this urban centre, and only engage in commercial activity.
Meanwhile, these large open park/green spaces exist in abundance,
where evidence of this activity does exist.

PRECEDENTS | //SYMBIOSIS
symbiotic relationships
One of the problems I experienced with the town is the sudden changes
in density and interactivity. You have these narrow and intimate roads full
of cultural history, but no interaction. Meanwhile you have these open
outdoor spaces which is full of acitivity. It is easy to identify the level of David Closes Lebbeus Woods
congestion and pollution there is in Winchester, which is what makes
these spaces so valued.
Then this project started to propose a more radical potential for the City
of WInchester. Could we insert more outdoor spaces and responsive
Architecture to provide for the city? With increasing public demands for
energy and nutrition, is there a way to source these locally? PRECEDENTS | //SYMBIOSIS
With this in mind, this project starts to explore the work of many
radical Architects and think tanks, with a particular focus on parasitical
architecture.

The idea however, did not come to full fruitition. There was
much disdain for the project by former owners, and the site
fell into disrepair and vandalism. This is one of many social
housing projects which had gained the distrust of the general
public.

The site chose for Harestock, is situated between two

this site, a tactical link between these disconnected districts
can be embraced and advantageous in creating exciting and
meaningful spaces.

Buildings are parametrically angled towards the sun, in an
attempt to capture the most amount of solar radiation. In doing
01 this, we can obtain the most efficent amount of renewable
solar energy through photovoltaics embeded into the
62
facade of the building.
Decidicous trees will protect the ground level from high-force
02 winds
04
The presence of a borehole suggests a high water table within
the chalk and clay geology of the site. This can be used to run
15
central heating through as a passive cooling system.
Building towers are angled, so that they are streamlined
against the prevailing winds. The more fluid and aerodynamic
05 nature of the building, allows incoming abnormal winds to
deflect around the building, without producing unwanted stack
effects.
56
Perforations in the base of the building allow the collection of
high-speed wind through tubes. In using a state of the art piezo-
06 wind generator, this can be used as an active wind energy
renewable source, as well as a backup to our active solar
radiation source.

The use of ladybug tools within IES and Autodesks flowdesign

The building recieves a high solar yield from its direct angle into
