Projects undertaken at the Hull School of Architecture, UK 1997/2002

2000/01: Urban Design, Business Innovation Park, Hull, England.

This project was undertaken as an advanced Specialist Diploma in Urban Design, as part of my Bachelor of Architecture Masters Degree. This postgraduate diploma in Urban Design was achieved as a separate qualification to the Masters programme.

Architecture derives its meaning from the circumstances of its creation; and this implies that what is external to architecture – what can broadly be called its set of functions – is of vital importance (Alan Colquhoun).

The distribution of people in dispersed social systems is not only spatial but also mental. Some people are in a planetary community; some are in a national community; still others are in a community bounded by their limited interests. The bodies of people might be in one spatial area, but not their social worlds. The concept of locale has little meaning in this context. The concept of community was once proposed to refer to these locale-independent relationships. Now the implications for the community of the independence from locale as shown by these new kinds of relationships are becoming overwhelming (J. Bernard).
