Despite being directly off a main road, it's varied stone structures and topography manage to produce a tranquil atmosphere, almost to the point which the suburb feels isolated from the rest of Cardiff's busy centre. Therefore, my goal for the Car Park- a site clearly disconnected from this character, both in its location, contrasting materiality and urban grain- was to reanimate this unpopulated space into a bustling and interactive centre for this unique community to inhabit, connect and interact with.<\/p>\n<p>The undulating form I produced in my final design, with its heavy-weighted stone structure and weaving paths,<span style=\"font-family: Cormorant, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;font-style: normal\">\u00a0<\/span>was something that I created through my two main intents: Anchoring the site in the urban grain, and creating intrigue.<\/p>\n<p>Llandaff's urban grain was made up of its small, dense plots with beautiful gabled roofs so I knew I wanted to divide such a large site into smaller components to continue this and create more personal spaces at the human-scale using overhanging, angled zinc roofing and organic paths throughout. I decided to use the pennant stone materiality present throughout Llandaff to form my structure, producing an appearance that the spaces have been carved out of the site.<\/p>\n<p>In order to encourage pedestrian activity, I needed to create an intriguing space that drew the community in off the main path of the suburb. To do this I added two new access points on either side of the site, and used the atypical form of the site itself to produce the unusual geometry seen in my final design. This geometry works to create curiosity through its undulating roofs, recesses and angled walls, it allows partial views to other areas in the building and certain landmarks in Llandaff to create a constant connection and encourage the users to walk through these spaces- specifically encouraging the community to walk through the main art gallery in the centre building. I also added seating and exhibition counters integrated into the walls of the spaces, inspired by Herman Hertzberger's stair seats to encourage the community to not only walk through the arts centre, but to stop and observe its activity.<\/p>\n","location":"Llandaff, Cardiff, Wales, CF, United
