1 VOLUME TWO AIMS TO EMPOWER AND SUSTAIN THE SOCIAL BOND BETWEEN COMMUNITY MEMBERS OF THE CITY OF

STIRLING, THROUGH THE DESIGN OF A POP-UP VINTAGE MARKET THAT FOSTERS CREATIVTY AND PROJECTS COMMUNITY

AWARENESS.

The intention of volume two is to further promote the cities creative identity, by collaborating with the cities existing farmers market and building a

creative locus in which local creatives can express and establish themselves in a community building environment. The design proposal aims to

heighten community awareness though a pop-up vintage market that embraces creativity and facilitates an intimate social hub of revenue

building capacity.

The topic of this dissertation highlights the need for interactive public social spaces as a significant element in effectively generating a sense of

community for residents dwelling in the City of Stirling. The final design proposal reflects the common need highlighted for the city - The necessity for

an inclusive environment that recognises societal needs to in turn create a sense of community. The project aspires to foster the growth of the

community through the projection and enrichment of the areas creative identity through a pop-up retail vintage market setting. The pop-up facility

aims to introduce a strong cultural, social and creative element into the region through positive engagement with local artists and the local

community. The sustainable retail outlet provides a platform for local creative's to sell their wares direct to the public and encourages social

interaction and engagement amongst community members.

My project investigates how a sense of community can be generated through the sustainable design of the ‘interior’ and the ‘interior of the

exterior’ which house various spatial elements that unite to further enhance the areas subdued creative identity. The market will project a sense of

community through its creative approach as an interactive engaging public space to empower and sustain social bonds between members of the

city.

RESEARCH QUESTION: How can the design of an interactive pop-up market foster a sense of community within the city of Stirling? WHAT: Core issue – Community Building, Expression of creative identity. Revitalizing and expanding on the existing Stirling Farmers market with a pop-up vintage market selling original wares. WHERE: City of Stirling – Stirling council house car park. WHO: Target group – residents and local creatives HOW: Through the design of a pop-up vintage market, crafted from a cluster of double decker buses. WHY: To further project a sense of community by empowering and sustaining social bonds between local creatives and community members residing in the city.

My hunch as a resident of the City of Stirling was that the city lacked public spaces in which the community could gather, engage and collaborate amongst and within. The lack and necessity for social interactive spaces, that provide relief from daily routines, sustenance for people’s sense of community, and generally raise people’s spirits is a fundamental element in making the City of Stirling a true community based city, Findings highlighted in volume one, have been translated into a design language in volume two, that aims to build and further enhance social relationships for the cities residents through a pop-up vintage retail facility. Volume two aims to further promote the cities creative identity, by collaborating with the cities existing farmers market and building a creative locus in which local creatives can express and establish themselves in a community environment. The pop-up addition will facilitate a sense of community for the area by revitalizing the urban neighbourhoods that constitute the city through an intimate and vibrant place of social gather. The facility aims to foster a young capacity building fashion business by revitalizing the existing farmers market and activating the space through a creative and sustainable approach. Stirling’s subdued creative identity is projected through the vintage fashion market, which aims to heighten the cities social and cultural context and strengthen its ability in creating a sense of community. The projection of Stirling’s creative character through the pop-up will enliven the city and provide an area in which local creatives are able to establish themselves. This will in turn produce a vibrant communal atmosphere that attracts and supports creative enterprise and in turn aids in generating a sense of community for the city. Research from volume one saw the community gravitating towards pop-up vendor experiences because of the more personal qualities they provide. Getting to know the vendor, suggestions for making the most of a purchase, or even just the quirky atmosphere. Pop-up markets are fundamentally more human retail experiences, which bring a festive vibe to the familiar retail occurrence. (The Future 2009) Shopping for vintage is about embracing style in things of old and the cache of exclusivity. True fashionistas are becoming obsessed with the 'new vintage'. Wearing vintage provides an opportunity to sport beautifully made clothes that are individual, a unique piece of history and environmentally friendly. The vintage retail typology adopted for the market aims to satisfy the needs and desires of the fashion savvy residing in the City of Stirling. The symbolic associations vintage has with recycling and sustainability, and memory and history are echoed through the markets facility.

“POP-UP MARKETS HAVE A TENDENCY TO APPEAR UNANNOUNCED, QUICKLY DRAW IN THE CROWDS, AND

THEN DISAPPEAR OR MORPH INTO SOMETHING ELSE, ADDING TO RETAIL THE FRESH FEEL, EXCLUSIVITY AND SURPRISE THAT GALLERIES, THEATRES AND CIRQUE DU

SOLEIL ADEPTS HAVE BEEN USING FOR YEARS” (Pop up retail, 2012)

THE INTEGRATION OF A RETAIL POP-UP FACILITY IS A HISTORIC MOVE AWAY FROM RETAIL BEING SOLELY ABOUT ESTABLISHED

PATTERNS OF CONSUMER TRAFFIC AND PURCHASE INTENT BASED ON FAMIILIARITY. THE NEW CONSUMER IS SEEKING SURPRISE AND EXCITEMENT FROM RETAIL AND IS IN MANY WAYS RETURNING TO ITS PRE-INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION ROOTS AND THE CONCEPT OF

THE TRAVELLING MARKET. (The Future 2009)

The pop-up market comprises of three double decker Leyland Atlantean buses with attached mobile stairwells. The facility aims to build and promote the creative identity for the city through an interactive visual environment that stimulates and encourages a relaxed healthy and social lifestyle. The bus effectively serves as a pop-up as a result of its mobile nature and ease of transportability. The height variation the bus provides is advantageous in creating varying levels to the market, challenging the classic market settings operating at ground level. The pop-up has the opportunity to travel to various locations within the city as well as locating itself within the existing Stirling Farmers market in the heart of Stirling. For the purpose of this project, one bus will be developed in detail, with the design of the first floor market replicated on the ground and first floors of the remaining two buses. The re-use of an existing transportable shell alongside the integration of the pop-ups vintage fashion typology, evokes a sense of memory and reflects a sustainable approach through the up cycling of items.

Flexible hanging display elements generated from recycled bus railing create various configurations and are used as hanging rack displays and change room facilities within the pop-ups interior. The hanging display systems are flexible in both height and width and are attached to the ceiling with metal suction cups. Configurations can be adapted to the needs of the occupying retailer.

Using recycled wheelchair/ bike tyres the hanging shoe display fixed to the first floors ceiling stimulates passersby as it emits a sense of intrigue for children and adults alike.  

The vehicles ground floor is fitted with ambient lighting elements constructed from recycled plastic bottles to create a diffused warm spread of light.

Seating elements scatter the interior hub of the marketplace and provide places of comfort for market goers to socialise connect and rest. As a means of connection with other community members, the seating piece drew on the form of the stairwells as ‘connectors’ to the three buses. Derived from the concept of ‘graffiti’.Thermochromic technology was implemented on the seating’s surface as an innovative smart technology that stimulates interaction amongst users.

The technology employs a Thermochromic pigment, which is applied to the chemical composition of the polypropylene surface, allowing users to leave their mark, turning temporary interactions into lingering visual moments. Available in three sizes, the seating elements are designed as flexible, compact units that can be stacked into one another and stored within the buses.  

Varying sizes and spatial configurations encourage the community to generate their own spatial designs. The modular seating unit also adapts to form retail displays within the pop-ups first floor.  

  15

                       

The sustainable approach driving the workshops allow the community to collect recycled items and bring them to the market area to assist in creating transformational artworks that express the areas cultural, social and creative identity. The community becomes engaged by the challenge and the stimulating activity generates awareness whilst also educating the community of environmental issues. These pieces have the potential to be showcased at various locations around the city, creating symbolic representations and positive associations with the pop-up market. The creative workshops exemplify how the community can collaborate in building pieces that address sustainability and societal differences by reflecting identity through creative collaboration.

Coverage to the central hub is defined through the re-use of plastic bags into a hanging canopy. The canopy protects the core and the overlooking balconies from environmental conditions and projects colour and vibrancy into the hub. The light qualities of the space are heightened through the transmission of light through the plastic. The coverage provides visual stimulation and attraction through the use of colour and emits a sense of intrigue to spectators from a distance. Constructed from plastic bags tied to a heavy-duty plastic net, the canopy is suspended from the buses extendable roof. Turbulent conditions can see portions of the canopy substituted with recycled cloth to reduce the din produced. The degeneration of the tarp over time will become a project preserved by the pop-up workshops.

External stairwells provide access to the second floors of each bus and become an integrated engaging public palette of expression. Coated in chalkboard paint, the three connecting stairwells provide a public canvas in which local artists and the community have the opportunity to add to the piece and leave their own mark. This community tagging inspired by graffiti integrates the stairwell into the market setting and provides an area for creative individuals to express themselves through art. Outdoor communal displays activate the underside of the balcony extensions and provide an area for market goers to interact, communicate and network. Using recycled rubber window lining the area actively engages users and adds a functional element to the space. The displays serve as a communicative hub and inform residents of the pop-ups nature, retailing artists and upcoming pop-up workshop activities and events

Ramp ways leading to the ground floor interior provide a platform for artists and designers to showcase their work to the community. The intimate atmosphere created through runway shows market local designs and project display as a notion of consumerism. In turn activating the spaces on either side of the bus, marketing the brand and creating a communal inclusive environment. The ramp ways provide access to the ground floor styling salon and alleviate the sense of enclosure the bus stems by eliminating the feeling of walking into a confined space with various entry and egress points. The ramp ways heighten the showcase atmosphere the modeling shows emanate. The ramps are composed of an aluminum framework that collapses into itself in order to store back into the bus.

MACRO POP-UP MARKET SETTING

The general lack of public places and social gather available to the community has resulted in an incoherent community relationship. I propose that pop-up market spaces – as effective hubs of community interaction – can nurture the growth and the bond of the community and heighten its importance in sustaining a healthy living environment for the cities residents by connecting, building and supporting creative enterprise in the city.

The design proposal highlighted in this dissertation projects the City of Stirling’s creative identity by revitalizing public space, this becomes an attraction to Perth, as an effective community rejuvenation scheme which has the opportunity to become a strategic framework implemented by cities that lack places of social gather and consequently a sense of community.

2 BUILDING 201 RE-DESIGN

Building 201 carries a dominant static experience for those occupying and travelling through it. The building is occupied by creative

thinkers and the creativity of those occupying is not translated through the building’s interior and exterior. The lack of insight into

other disciplines results in a cold, harsh solid impression. The buildings identity is shaped through its horizontal and linear series of

networks that creates mazes which are confined to each level. This results in a lack of community in the building which restricts

interaction and collaboration between students of all faculties. Creating a network between students by focusing on communal

areas and student nodes will develop the buildings working environment and enhance collaboration between students.

A lack of communal, interactive and showcase areas have lead to a design development and proposal for building 201. I intend

to work to the existing brief, developing the chosen areas and incorporating the concept of geometry and cell division into the

design. The overall design intention is to create open communal areas and student nodes where students can interact and

collaborate with each other, form a student network, enhance the working environment and the function within.

In order to create an overall building identity I propose to create open communal areas which enhance interaction between

students. The extension to the south facade of the building will showcase the buildings identity from its exterior, identifying with the

public and illustrating who we are and what we do.

I will be focusing on level 3, with the intention of creating an interactive area for students to network and collaborate within. The areas of concentration will be of the open exhibition space, cafe, resource centre and exterior exhibition space. I propose to incorporate geometry with cells and cell division. Encasing the theme of Bone + Frame. Bone representing geometrical and abstract patterns and shapes, and frame representing cells and cell division. Repetition, Pattern, Connectivity and Movement are the key factors of my design intention. The human body has developed from geometrical forms, the idea of creating a new identity for the building through geometry will generate form and enhance the working environment and benefit those functioning within it, enforcing the idea of the building growing with its occupants. In order to encourage interaction and collaboration between students of all faculties I propose to draw on the idea of cells and cell division, symbolising the student network, associating them with growth and the idea that they are continually multiplying and manifesting new ideas. The division of cells produce the art of geometry in itself.

The site located on level 3 allows for an extension to the north and south facades of the building. This allows for interaction with the public through the exterior facade. Promoting what we do and who we are. Showcasing occupants work from all faculties. The sites focus areas are sociable communal areas, designed for interaction, located on the west wing of the building, its location is appropriate for its natural light, close proximity to the main entry and visibility of its extension to the south facade.

  24

       

The chosen areas of the building, focus on student learning, interaction and collaboration. The design proposal is located on level 3 of building 201with an extension to the north and south which accommodates students studying Urban Planning, Fine Arts, Interior Architecture, Architecture, Design, and Fashion Design. The extensions form was derived from twisting the original floor area space on an angle which followed the points of the existing columns to result in a transparent abstract facade which identifies with the public and enhances the working environment for those occupying the building. Upon entry from 201’s north entry point, visitors and students are directed to the open exhibition space where students final and conceptual work pieces are displayed. This area can be seen from the exterior North and South facades of the building, alluring passersby to explore the building and the exhibition space. This area acts as a hub of inspiration, community and social interactive point where students are able to view and discuss work of their peers and other faculties. Enhancing the learning experience and creating an area of student interaction for different faculties. Students are then directed to either the Resource Centre or Cafe. The resource centre acts as a quiet educational learning area, whereas the cafe is an open social area, acting as a central hub. The location of the cafe receives natural light from the north and south facades. It is within close proximity to the toilets and to the entry of the building. These chosen areas form the identity of the building through interaction and networking between students. The concept of geometry and cell division plays a vital role in creating a form and generating an aesthetic appeal for the building which in turn creates the buildings identity. Creating attractive sociable hotspots for students will encourage student networking between faculties and enhance the working environment for those within.

3 PROTOTYPE LIGHT FITTING

Progressing from spatial enclosure 322 – Building 201 re-design I have taken my extension to the North and manipulated the

design in order to create a shelf and ambient lighting piece. The proposed light fitting reflects on the extension through

abstract triangular forms and has been designed as a wall light, symbolising the extension and its connection to an existing

solid structure.

The fittings laser cut patterns symbolise the exterior form of the extension as well as interior elements of my previous project.

The light fitting provides a soft glow in both day and night settings and creates ambient lighting piece through a dramatic

extrusive form. The fitting is constructed from 3mm plywood finished with a Teak Brown stain and houses a t5 5w fluorescent

tube light.

The light was then extended in both height and width to result in a more defined shape. The triangular cut outs were given a more abstract shape to add character and reflect on shapes and shadows created in the extension of building 201

The light shelf was fitted with an under counter fluorescent tube t5 5w light which provides an ambient glow in both day and night settings

5 WET BAR DESIGN WET BAR - A wet bar is a small bar or counter, used for mixing alcoholic drinks, that includes a sink with running

water. The sink can be used for adding water to drinks or for cleaning glasses and related items. Though small, the

counter or bar space can be used to rest glasses while mixing drinks, as well as for storing a small number of wet

bar accessories.

A custom built wet bar is to be designed for a small wine/bar restaurant located in the Perth CBD. The proposed

bar is to be placed against a ten metre long wall, three metres high, only bottled beer and wine are to be served.

Allowance should be made for food which is also served over the bar from the kitchen behind the wall.

The proposed design incorporates the effective use of lighting and materials to result in a bold eye catching

ageless design. Marblo and Plexiglass are used to create an abstract shape and the bars colourful palette

creates a futurisitc design.

6 MODULAR SEATING UNIT

A modular seating unit is to be designed for use in external and internal environments. The unit should be able to be connected

to other units at 45, 90 and 180 degrees, flexibility being the key. The modular units should be designed so that they can be used

in a variety of situations, bus stop, train platform, waiting areas and airport lounges.

The proposed seating design meets the requirements of the brief. The projected unit is to be constructed from Polypropylene,

this material is ideal for the design of the chair as it can withstand conditions of external and internal environments. The unit is

made from two components, firstly the chair module and secondly the shelf module. These two modules can be placed at

various different angles to create different seating options and patterns. The seating unit has been designed so it can be used

internally for an airport lounge and externally for a park or bus stop. The modular seating’s solid form and interesting use of

shape can be depicted as an art form as well as a modular seating unit.
