Week 6 - Mapping Ownership



By taking the objects and applying a spatial organisation based on ownership I was able to produce the above image. The rings both connect the objects and represent the overall area belonging to each of the owners.

This diagram aims to question the potential impact of the future ownership of the Peninsula on its identity and furthermore the implications of this on the demographic and function of the area.

Week 6 - Tracing compression







Top: The east elevation of the trace with forms applied to the intersecting lines.



Middle: The west elevation of the trace in wire form.


Lower: Above is the process, using Rhino and 3DS MAX, by which I mapped the movement of the objects from their existing condition on the Peninsula to the elevated and condensed proposal.

Week 5 - Taxonomy of the Existing Peninsula


Following on from the consideration of a vertical limitation to the ownership of the site, I undertook a study of the existing objects on the site. The study focussed on objects which may be deemed undesirable on a developed future peninsula.

The above image identifies this taxonomy of the existing Peninsula and was constructed by my physical cutting of the objects from a printed aerial image of the Peninsula.

Week 4 - Speculative Precedent


On visiting Foster's Vieux Port pavilion in Marseille I took the above photograph. The orientational ambiguity of the image visually addresses the implications around a secondary vertical plane above the Peninsula.
