Youth Art Center in Camden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The proposal is a cultural and architectural regeneration of the former Elephant House Brewery and Cooper\u2019s building (Grade II listed buildings) in the busy area of Camden Town, in London. The scheme provides an opportunity to culturally regenerate Camden by creating a permanent sustainable solution for the young artistic community and encouraging public interaction and exchange with the arts along the Regent\u2019s Canal waterway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nscheme focuses on two main domains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The Arts<\/em><\/strong> – to establish a facility for the Youth Creative Community of Camden along the inspiring environment of the natural infrastructure. <\/li>
  • The Public<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 the provision of space for public by considering the canal as a \u2018slow-space\u2019.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The existing building is extended to provide not only art\nstudio spaces but also exhibition areas. The new build is a steel-framed\nconstruction, a lightweight structure in order to maintain the original\ncondition of the listed buildings. Taking advantage of the lock located right\nin front of the site the public space is extended on an elevated level\nproviding views to the east and west of the canal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    An important aspect of the site are the elevations of the buildings next to it. The MTV building on the right and the Grimshaw\u2019s Grand Union Walk Housing on the left, both follow a repetitive pattern along the canal. One of the main structural aims is to continue this repetitiveness in the project\u2019s elevation, by proposing uniform pitched roofs for the art studio spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The middle body of the building is connecting the two\nelevations with a larger pitched roof that enclose an atrium space and terraces\non every floor facing the canal. Vertically growing vegetation is proposed on\nthe elevation of these terraces. In order no to place any columns on the\nexterior of the existing facades a roof truss is spanning above the wall that\nencloses the atrium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
