Kiosks

Im currently leaving my thesis to one side in order to research some technologies and explore design potentials by develiping a kiosk design solution in Briggate leeds.....

Site Information

Further to Identifying a site, research has begun on the local history and development of the area, this uncovered a proposal for the very site chosen. This aids my final decision as I was at first unsure as to whether or not development of the site would be rejected. The proposed development is much larger on scale than the intended film school but shows that there are options to manipulate the site in its entirety to achieve a successful design outcome.

The actual site, shown in greater detail.....

Further to my previous post, I have identified the site further, focusing on a Civic context. There is also a significant redevelopment in the immediate area, master planned by Will Allsop called middlehaven, which would also have presented an interesting design location (marked in blue)

The proposed site for the Thesis design is in the centre of Middlesbrough Civic district, and aims to revitalize this failing area, adding a link to the "digital City" and the successful University of Teeside.

Side Project

I'm currently working on a side project, called "EIK" (Ephemeral Interactive Kiosks!!!) these are to be based in Briggate, and interact with passes by, changing the users view of the street scape, and creating points of orientation and recognition. Its aiming to bring the public street back into ownership of society, as oppossed to retail.
Hopefully there'll be a rough sketch pic up soon, if I can ever fathem out how to do such a thing.
This project is currently seriously inhibiting my Thesis work however and i'm starting to resent it somewhat, hope it doesnt bite me!!!

Thesis Blog

My thesis topic is "Scott Free Film School" to be undertaken over the next 6 months.
The site is in Middlesbrough
