Drawing from an understanding of wood joinery, the \u2018notch\u2019 space is a vast series of stairways and platforms where flexible areas encourage creative collaboration between the disciplines, with private teaching rooms as a stereotomy cut into below, within the vast atrium. This space encourages movement between semi-private studios and workshops, to public exhibition spaces and private functions that surround the \u2018notch\u2019 concourse, by joining them together via cross-linking bridges across the large atrium. This interplay of public-private continues throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" src=\"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Ground-Floor-Plan-Organisation-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"This is the floor place for the ground floor which showcases how the spaces are planned and spaced out around the scheme. \" class=\"wp-image-15616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Ground-Floor-Plan-Organisation-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Ground-Floor-Plan-Organisation-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Ground-Floor-Plan-Organisation-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Ground-Floor-Plan-Organisation-1536x1086.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Ground-Floor-Plan-Organisation-2048x1448.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Front-View-1024x556.jpg\" alt=\"An exterior view of the facade\" class=\"wp-image-9620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Front-View-1024x556.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Front-View-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Front-View-768x417.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Front-View-1536x834.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/07\/Front-View.jpg 2008w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Integrating a technical approach, the architectonics consist of large glulam timber frames, expressed honestly in the construction and joints, a relief from the context\u2019s harsh materiality, and exacting the sustainable sourcing of the structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This proposal offers a place in the city to accommodate a\nsymposium of ideas in an open process, inviting experimental design and\ninteraction, not being merely a closed institution of architecture, but an\naccessible laboratory of conception to fabrication, to foster potential\nopportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Email ID <a href=\"mailto:gwiltt@cardiff.ac.uk\">gwiltt@cardiff.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WSA Public City Lab This proposal is the design of an outpost for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":9615,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1006],"tags":[243,563,653,679],"class_list":["post-8431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city-centre-school-of-design","tag-community","tag-public-space","tag-sustainability","tag-timber"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8431"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8431"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8431\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15618,"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8431\/revisions\/15618"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wsa-ondisplay.co.uk\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
