First Project-Unit 301 integrated design

Project brief
The first project, we are asked to provide a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces for sport, social and cultural activities. As relatively "neutral boxes' the spaces have the potential to support activities and events other than their principle sporting functions. For example, they could be hired for parties and functions, used to stage dance performance or used for public meetings. The building type and its primary use are simple enough to allow you to engage with the complexities of form, structure, fabric, material and the environmental systems and qualities associated with human comfort (lighting, acoustic, thermal, ventilation) in a truly integrated manner.

Final Project-Unit 202.2-Fish Market and Restaurant

Project Brief
In the final project, we are asked to design a fish market at Old Portsmouth the Camber which evokes its historic site. Throughout history Camber Harbour has been a busy well protected port and the site and its surroundings have been a dockyard, a fishing harbour, a coal depot and an array of warehouse. Today, the structure on the project site are the unattractive sheds of a wholesale and retail fish merchant. In the immediate surroundings today you will find a working fishing harbour, private boat moorings, residential developments, a bar/restaurant and car parks for the nearby ferry port.
The project seeks to address the issues outlined above by providing a fish market and fish restaurant which will attract visitors and contribute to the regeneration of the Camber harbour area. The market will be designed to bring together the fish retailers in and around the site. The market is to include a two-storey-height space with a main ground floor area for the fish market. There will be a veiwing gallery on the upper floor and this could also be a part of the retail market or ot could be linked with the fish restaurant.


Site analysis


In the previous weeks i tried to create a steel frame structure cladding with timber in the present site. I divided the spatial to two buildings. Main building in te north side is the office element and the secondary building in the south side the activity centre.

Site Plan


After first time visited the site, I can said that if i didnt walk in to the market. I even dont know there is a fish market. The existing fish market is a unattractive block. People even dont know there is a fish market. So I want to create a building that even people dont walk in to it they can recognise that there is a fish market.

Conceptual drawing




My Design Schme i want to create the fishing market like the process of fishing. And the main element are Boats, Sail and fishing net. So the Main Building is boats and the Secondary building is a undulating roof coving the activity part( restaurant, chip shop and delicatessen.
