Designed across scales, from public realm to furniture, the Trent Basin project aims to encourage an interactive community atmosphere for the developing residential neighbourhood. The proposals include an enhanced public realm and a community building titled ‘The Front Room’. Just like the front room of a house, ‘The Front Room’ isn’t a space for one activity; it can be used for eating, socialising, working or exercising and acts as the heart of the Trent Basin neighbourhood.
The various interventions - public realm, façade, aedicule, and furniture – are designed at different scales, from the city scale of 1:10,000 through to the construction detail scale of 1:5. This allowed me to analyse how community interaction and exploration could be designed into the city as well as into the construction of a bench. As a result, this ‘total design’ is flexible and user defined as opposed to the generally controlled environments of ‘total works of art’.
Student Biography The methodology behind the Liveable Universities studio focused upon developing fragments whilst simultaneously working at all scales. This new working methodology challenged the way that I had previously designed, but ultimately complimented my interests and enhanced my creativity. As a result, I was able to combine my enthusiasm of people and places, with my desire to explore, research, and understand.
