The aim o the project was to orm a new connection between the industrial
uses on the Churchelds site and the historic heart o Salisbury. This has
been achieved through the reorganising o site to create physical and visual
connections to the citys Cathedral and natural landscape around which a
new urban area can develop. The building establishes a link between the
scenery recognised by John Constable and the crat and skill that has become
an established part o the current industrial landscape. It brings these oten-
separated typologies into one structure to create an environment to inspire,
create and learn.
The hierarchy o the building is dened through its materiality and architectural
orm, making use o transparent and opaque materials to dene the servant
and served spaces. This is achieved by reinterpreting the industrial warehouse
orms to enclose the primary uses. The circulation spaces are contained
within a strong glass orm to connect these main areas and establish a linear,
visual link to both the city and the rest o Churchelds, reecting the purpose
o the building.

Salisbury is a small Cathedral city located in
Wiltshire in the South o England, having a
population o 39,726 at the time o the 2001
Census. The city sits on the river Avon and our
o its tributaries. As such the city has developed
around this network with much o the city
being located on the higher ground between
the waterways. The main eature o the city is
its Cathedral and the historic city grid, known
as the Chequers, that surrounds it. The mix o
the waterways and the historic centre create a
stunning landscape in which the city presides.
This project deals with the redevelopment o
the Churchelds Industrial Estate, a large site to
the West o the city centre that is located within
the connes o a River Nadder Oxbow and
associated water meadows. The site borders the
Conservation area that encompasses most o the
central city area. The site is to be developed into
a housing led area in accordance with the plans
o the Salisbury Vision.

This exercise quickly produced ideas or the site
at two scales using whatever was to hand at the
time. The ideas placed down on the site model
were largely based on the topic analysis that had
previously been done. The two scales dealt with
the site rst in the context o the wider urban area
and then ocused more upon the site in detail.
What was produced at these two scales was
inuenced by a set o words that were pre-
established. These words were Green Fingers,
Industry and Science based Education.
What was identied was the need to improve
pedestrian and cyclist links to Harnham in the
South and the City Centre/Cathedral to the East.
These routes were then taken and key anchor
points were created through which new centres
could be established, providing a ocus or the
development o the rest o the site.

The masterplan or the site was developed with
a ocus around the sight lines to the Cathedral
along with the locations or new green links. The
aim was to reintegrate the site back into the city,
to establish a new urban area that elt part o the
city rather than independent rom it.
An analysis o the views to the Cathedral rom the
site show there is a narrow corridor between two
barriers o trees that allow or clear views. Taking
this line as the key element in the Masterplan
along with pedestrian links a hierarchy was
established that acilitated the masterplan and
also dened the site o the project building.
The masterplan was urther rened in order to
begin to rationalise the site while retaining all
existing buildings rom the industrial estate that
were in good condition.

The urban orm and site layout has been
inuenced by our main contributing actors. In
order to reintegrate the site back into the city,
new natural connections, ootpaths and cycle
routes are created. These new routes link the
site to pre-existing links in the city and establish
new connections to both Harnham and the
surrounding natural landscape.
A new vehicular hierarchy is also established,
creating strong links to the main access route o
Churchelds road and providing access routes to
new developments across the site.
These two elements intersect to create the
main urban orms or the site, and both centre
around a new avenue that establishes a physical
and visual link the Cathedral across the width o
the Churchelds site, establishing a link between
the retained elements o the industrial estate,
through the new urban development, to the city
centre.
The site is to be mixed use, with a prominence
towards dierent uses across the site, moving
rom light industrial in the West, through a central
residential area to a more leisure and ofce led
development in the East.

The renovation o Paris established new
boulevards and routes through the tight medieval
city grid, creating direct links between the citys
main buildings and a more rational city grid. In
creating the new routes, buildings that were in
the way were demolished and some sliced in
hal, with a new acade then created. The work
program also established design rules or aades
and created new city squares where the avenues
intersected. The aim was to use these new city
arteries to breathe new lie into a crowded city,
making it more open, permeable and connected.
Many o the ideas rom the Haussmann Plan
were transerable into the project work at the
masterplan level, inorming the overall project
narrative. A strong avenue has been created
through the existing industrial estate, removing
selected buildings to accommodate it. Around
this new avenue much o the new development
is ocused, being built around the existing
industrial areas. What is created is a strong
visual and physical link between the industrial
landscape o the site and the Cathedral. At
points o intersection new spaces are created,
o which one contains the project building.
This progression runs parallel to those ideas put
orward by Haussmann.

The massing o the new development on the
site has been subject to the main masterplan
components and the site context. As a result,
the site eatures taller, higher density buildings
at its centre, with a peak around the central
intersection on the new main avenue. From this
the buildings slope down to meet the height o
the tree line that surrounds the site on the rivers
edge.
From North to South the density and scale o the
buildings reduce, in order to ocus trafc to the
North and allow the development to dissipate
into the river valley towards the South. The use
o higher densities to the North also establishes
the development as part o the city and creates a
strong connection to both the Train Station and
the existing Churchelds Road.

Salisbury Cathedral rom the Meadows John Constable 1829
7/27/2019 Jonathan Oswald - Graduate Portfolio
24/81
This sketch was completed on Constables last
visit to Salisbury in 1829, it is rom this painting
that Constable developed some o his later
works regarding the Cathedral and eatures a
view that is o a greater distance than the painting
completed in 1831. Typical o Constables oil
studies, the picture is executed with tremendous
reedom, yet with an eye or composition and a
varied palette. The overall eect is one o a resh,
breezy day, the rain clouds clearing away into the
distance, to reveal blue patches o sky. The dark
mass o trees on the let guides the eye towards
the spire o the cathedral, which reaches up
towards the light.
The view eatured in Constables work is
remarkably similar to the view rom the building
site. The Cathedral is the main eature o the
painting and the view rom the site, yet it is
slightly obscured rom view in both Constables
work and the site today. While the building,
in particular the gallery, will seek to make the
most o this view and Constables landscape, it
also seeks to provide the same views that were
available to the artist. The artists studios in the
building are at ground level; part o the landscape
itsel, in the same position the Constable would
have produced his work rom.

The primary unction o the Centre is to provide
post-graduate education, business start-up studio
space, business skills tuition and support or
young goldsmiths, plus crat skills training to pre-
apprentice silversmiths close to Hatton Garden,
the traditional home o the trade in London.
The building programme ound here is similar
to that o the proposed building with a mix o
education and studio/workshop space. What is
apparent within the plan o this building is the
importance o the central void and open ground
oor area. The ground oor area contains all
the communal and public acilities, leaving the
upper oors ree to ocus on the ofce, studio
and workshop spaces. What is also clear is the
importance segregation between the service
access and user movement. The services are
separated, with access independent rom
the rest o the building and a dedicated lit or
getting materials and equipment to the various
rooms. It is these two elements, the circulation
and service access that have been inuential on
the development o the building programme
diagram and the building orm itsel.

The project is or the renovation and extension
o an art centre in Utah with the extension being
built rom railway sleepers reclaimed rom the
Great Salt Lake. The new ve-storey, twisting
wing will provide exhibition galleries both at
basement level and upstairs, connected to each
another and to a restaurant between by a winding
staircase. A rootop terrace will overlook the
existing building, which the architects intend to
renovate into an educational hub with a rootop
sculpture garden.
This building also contains similar programme
elements to those proposed in the project
building, containing a mixture o public spaces
and more private educational spaces. The
circulation in this building is around the exterior
o the space, rather than centralising it, resulting
in main building spaces being central in the
building, rather than making use o the external
suraces. The response to the city context is
another relevant element, the building ootprint
and lower gallery ace the city grid, and as the
building rises, it turns to greet visitors entering the
city via the main access street. This manipulation
o orm in order to meet the context and views at
two dierent levels is an element that has been
investigated in the project building.

The site selection evolved in conjunction with
the masterplan development. Following the
initial masterplan, site analysis and development
took place that then ed back into the masterplan
to urther rene it and ully integrate the project
building into it.
The site, in the context o the masterplan is located
at the Eastern end o the key site avenue, with the
main vista towards the Cathedral over the water
meadows. This is a key location or establishing
the link between the city and Churchelds. The
vista rom the site encompasses the view that
Constable experienced and recreated in his
works.

Following the site selection, the next exploration
involved experimenting with raw orms and ideas
to accommodate the programme on the site.
The basic idea was to capture the view o the
Cathedral through a raised space that would
be elevated above the site avenue so as to not
obstruct the public realm but instead create a
physical interaction with it.
Having understood the spaces required by
the building programme, there was a process
o organising the spaces through diagrams to
understand the interaction o the programmeelements and the dierent users o the building.

This stage involved looking at the site in context
and attempting to establish a orm based upon
this. This stage o development ran parallel to the
development and evolution o the masterplan,
so as it developed the site context changed
rom being based upon the existing site context
to being based around the context proposed
by the masterplan. This changed the nature o
the space around the building and thereore the
thinking behind it.

i
The building is designed to house the home
collection by Vitra within the Vitra Campus on
the outskirts o Basle. The ve-storey structure is
comprised o 12 houses that are stacked upon
one another. The building has a daytime view o
the surrounding landscape, while in the evening
the perspective is reversed. During the day, one
gazes out o the house, and when darkness alls,
the Vitrahaus interior glows, and the physical
structure o the house seems to dissipates into
the landscape. The glazed gable ends turn into
display cases that shine across the campus and
the surrounding countryside.
The project makes use o the intersection and
orientation o dierent orms in order to create
one coherent building. From the exterior the
orientation o the orms appears to have no
relevance to its surroundings, however when the
building is analysed in the context o the wider
area it becomes clear. Each orm is oriented
to take advantage o the various views across
the city, down river valleys and across hills, in
the process also connecting the building to
Germany, France and Switzerland. This method
or orienting the building orms to capture the
context o the building has been inuential on
the building design.

been designed to t the context and constraints
o the masterplan. The site is located where the
viewing corridor meets the river and is thereore
the location or pedestrian routes that link to the
Town Path, the city and Harnham. This vista to
the Cathedral is a narrow, gap between a set o
trees that provides a clear view over the water
meadows.
The conict was thereore to locate the building,
and in particular the gallery, in such a position
in which to make use o the vista towards theCathedral and Harnham while not blocking the
view or the ground level pedestrians. This is the
primary reason or the orientation and shape o
the building. The building is rotated away rom
the viewing corridor so as to not create a solid
barrier to the path, and the rst oor gallery
then projects over the path so that it nestles in
between the trees. The ace o the gallery is then
re-oriented towards the Cathedral. The result is
that the building is able to take advantage o the
Vistas towards the city and down the Nadder
Valley.

The plans developed as a result o the site context

and the programme diagrams. This established
the rst iteration o the layout. Following this, the
additional building requirements that are needed
or the building to perorm its primary unctions
resulted in the plans evolving and changing. The
individual spaces o the building were planned
and re-planned, with some spaces moving and
others being incorporated into one space.
Some o these changes include the shiting o
the lecture space across the building and turning
it into a double height space, which in turn
created a large basement level. Later on in the
development, this was then reduced to a much
lesser slope across a single oor. This removed
the need or such wide scale excavation
works, and created a more attractive space in
comparison to the pit that was in its place.
The artists studios were also reorganised into
much more rational spaces, using the negative
space created rom the linear set o studios to
establish the circulation space instead o having
a kink in all the spaces.

spaces o the building and their relationship with

spaces o the building and their relationship with
the external environment.
The main area to be rened in the design was
the glazed circulation space that sits between the
two timber orms. It began as a cuboid that sat
between the spaces but uncomortably stepped
down to link to the artists studios at river level. As
a result a new orm was sought that would help
dene the entrance space at one end, enclose
the junctions between the building areas and
created a more distinguished connection to the
river level. The result is a stronger transparent
orm that divides the more opaque nature o the
programme spaces. The shape has been selected
as a wide arch, ollowing the sectional prole o
the building as it steps down the riverbank and
creates a link to the landscape at both ends o
the building.
Further development then took place to properly
dene the entrance space and the rontage onto
the public realm, enabling this area to be read
externally as being the main access point to the
building.
The workshops were also reworked by removing
the lit that had cluttered them and creating
transparent aces internally and externally, to
establish this area as a visible production space.

line, the river bank and the public realm. They
explored exactly how the building would settle
into the landscape and in particular the riverbank.
Two early models were produced to establish
the orm o the building as a physical element
it surroundings whereas the later model was
produced at a larger scale to explore the
relationship between the building elements and
the landscape in more detail.
As a result o these models it was noted that
what would become an important element o
the project would be the buildings interaction
with the landscape, and how it would mediate
between the built and natural orms.

The landscape plan developed around the study

the linear nature o the avenue through the site.
The landscape plan would be the continuation
o a plan or the whole o the Churchelds in an
aim to properly ingrain the building into the site.
The landscaping consists o lines o planting
that are divided by Yorkstone paving and bricks
to match those ound in the city centre. The
planting and hard suraces provide variety in
plant types, trees and seating areas. Where these
spaces come across buildings and other roads,
the planting and paving changes orientation. In
the case o the project building, it draws ocus
towards the building entrance.
How the building merges into the riverbank was
also an area that required careul consideration. It
was decided to use the same style o landscaping
ound across the site to dissolve the hard orm o
the building back into the landscape.

and the artists studios, drawing the eye down and
creating a vertical connection within this space.
River Circulation Space
This space is created out o the void between the
upper levels o the building and the row o artists
studios. It provides the main access into the
studios as well as opening up to the riverbank,
continuing the line o circulation that is ound
across all three oors o the building. The space
connects vertically to the glass orm above and
out each end into the public realm and landscape
through glazing.

This exercise was done to investigate the quality
o light that would be achieved in the Workshop
spaces. For the purposes o this study a stronger
light was used that than the actual north light

to develop an understanding o how the light
permeates the space. Lighting in this space
requires indirect dispersed light, to provide even
light onto the working suraces. This is important
or crats such as woodworking, glass making
and metalwork. In the process o perorming this
exercise the size o the window was doubled and
the wall acing onto the main circulation space
was changed to a glazed wall not only to add
visibility to the space but also to add additionalindirect south light into the space.

space, with large glazed windows at either end
o the extruded orm that capture views onto the
Cathedral and back into Churchelds through the
main site avenue. Within the s pace works created
within the building will be displayed, serving as an
educational tool or the creativity o industry and
artistry. For this reason the space is makes use
o light tones in order to provide a bright spaceto display the works. Colour within the space is
dened by the surrounding landscape and the
works displayed within it.

that immerses the occupant into the landscape,
using materials, sights and sounds to do so. This
materiality is brought into the interior by making
use o exposed concrete on the oor and walls,
also providing a hard wearing surace that will

The building creates a rontage to the
Churchelds site and is viewable rom the Water
Meadows, so it was important that this rontage
established a connection between the urban
and natural landscapes. Part o this is achieved
by bedding the building into the riverbank itsel

by bedding the building into the riverbank itsel,
embedding the artists into the environment they
are representing in their work.
The shallow pitched roos provide variations in
height that reect the variation ound in the tree
line that makes up this site rontage.
The use o glass on this rontage not only
provides the view out over the meadows, but
creates reections o this landscape in the
building when viewed rom the Town Path. It also
makes the building permeable and viewable rom
across the meadows, providing glimpses o the

gallery to capture this view, while the public
space runs beneath it.
The main entrance to the building is straight
o the public realm, using the two staggered
building orms to create two sides o the square
and rame the entrance.
The landscape o the public realm reects
the linear nature o the avenue, establishing a
directionality that draws the eye down this space
towards the Cathedral. This is then broken to
establish a new angle that draws a line to the
building entrance and creates and interaction
between the building orm and the landscape.

Gallery Solar Shading
Expressing the extrusion externally not only
gives a strength to the form but also provides
shading from high summer sun while allowing
winter sunlight to penetrate the space in the
morning
Flood Mitigation
This lower element of the building has a minor
risk from flooding, so this has been taken into
account in the material and service elements of
the space. Cast concrete is used for the floor
and wall surfaces, providing a hard wearing andresilant surface. Electrical and lighting services
are run down from ceiling level and will be a
minimum of 1200mm from floor level so
prevent any contact with any flood water.
Heating
Underfloor heating is used in most spaces bar
the workshops to make use of the concrete
thermal mass and provide clean, unlcuttered
spaces within the building

Timber External Skin
Pefabricated timber panels were selected to
form the external skin of the building as it would
provide a lightweight constrcution that would
be able to accomodate a high level of
insulation.
Internal Structural Concrete
Concrete has been used for most internal
surfaces to provide a long lasting and resilant
finish that will withstand the lifespan of the
building. It also provides much of the thermal
mass of the building
Workshop Heating
Underfloor heating is not used in these spaces
due to the potential need to fix machinery and
workbenches into the concrete floor. In this
case radient panel heaters are used. These can
be attached to the walls and roof and can the
posistioned as seen fit for the function of the
space.
Internal Glazing and Ventilation
Internal glazing is used to open the workshop
spaces to the circulation space and allowing the
industrial processes to be viewable. It also
allows indirect south light to reach into these
spaces via the main glazed circulation space.
The glazing panels also feature operable vents
to create an airlow through the workshops.
Glazed Circulation and Ventilation
The heavy use of glazing allows south light into
this space throughout the day, which then
disperses into the connected spaces. The triple
height open space also allows for excess heat
to be vented through the top, creating negative
pressure to draw fresh air into the neighbouring
rooms.

The details o the building became a very
important element, ensuring the strength o the
built orms. The desire was to have two opaque,
extruded orms divided by the translucent
circulation space. To achieve this the building
components needed to be as clean and
uncluttered as possible, internal and externally.
Detail Development
7/27/2019 Jonathan Oswald - Graduate Portfolio
76/81
For this reason the desire was to hide all drainage
systems and minimise structural support or the
glass, as it is the minimal nature o the orms that
gives them their strength.
The details went through several iterations,
investigating the layup o preabricated timber
wall panels and their attachment to the building
structure, along with how a hidden gutter detail
could work in this context. Structural glazing
systems were also investigated, specically
how this would junction against the opaque
orms to create a clean detail. It was important
that the glazing appear to nestle between the
two structures, rather than appear heavy and
independent in order to reinorce the hierarchy
o the building organisation.
