For our second part of model making, we are creating a new model of our own design, but we have to use an existing space or building which we can refurbish or re design completely. Although we have the option of redesigning a building completely, it is more efficient to use the existing building because it is very expensive to demolish an existing building and also re construct a new design.
One of the first activities for this project was to visit my chosen existing space, which in my case is the grove park library. This is a small library in a residential area surrounded by a gym and health centre. it is mainly used by primary school students from Marvels lane and coopers lane primary. During my site visit I surveyed the building, materials on site, number of people that use it and its main purpose and surroundings.
As seen on the plan view of the site, there is a lot of empty green spaces which could be used to build on to include a new feature to the building. Due to this open space in the rear of the building, I will be designing all the land that belongs to the library which will include some landscape architecture and building architecture.
