Welcome to the The Faculty of Environment and Technology 2022 Virtual Degree show.
My project aims to reinvigorate the Cumberland Basin, an area which suffered decades of decline after closure of the commercial river and associated activity; by creating a dynamic business and tourism focused building: an exhibition centre with hotel facilities. The exhibition would celebrate Bristol’s prominent natural resource: the water of River Avon and honour the site's richness through a design that projects a remembrance of Bristol’s historic past function, and a vision of its future.
My project re-connects Cumberland to the city, rebuilding the site as a celebrated and welcoming platform for Bristolians and visitors. Through using principles of deconstructionism and movement theories, the building embodies the function within the physical aesthetic: the roof is modelled around a ship’s sail with a layout of curving concrete wall designing a path from the mapping of visitors movement on site. The Building embraces the site’s resources, by embellishing and bringing the spotlight to this historic site.
