Final product on the Birley Fields campus. Overall we were all very impressed with the final outcome and feel the structure would be successful in generating future activity on the site.

Multicoloured roof, created by the collection of recycled bottles. The colours created by water ink applied to water.

Initial construction in studio to rule out any possible construction errors. Following several alterations to the arrangement of the pallet, it was agreed that an L-shape would be the most effective in generating social activity in comparison to linear seating design.

Sketch plan of the site survey highlighting how the new Birley Fields campus feels especially disconnected to the main All Saints campus, a possible explanation as to why there is little activity taking place on the new campus.

The wetland area feels very isolated from the main square, especially given it being partially fenced off. Although it should be appreciated for being sustainable, it has not been integrated into the remaining campus; a major design fault.

Initial site visit to MMU Birley Fields campus 11/05/15. Although construction work isn't fully completed, the newly-created large open space felt very isolated with little activity taking place.
