DAY FIVE // After receiving feedback from Jim, Rebecca and I decided to explore the cornerhouse site again. We redesigned the entrance to the building creating a pavillon which connects the pubs, cornerhouse and train station together, playing on the ideas of our design and concept.

DAY FOUR // Today we finalised our concepts to present to Polly Bentham a key member of the 'Save Oxford Rd Campaign'. Our concept is to recreate the cornerhouse as a local brewery supplying to the pubs surrounding the building.

DAY THREE // Today we are developing the programme of our buildings. Our concept is to turn the cornerhouse into a brewery, connecting the surrounding pubs and cornerhouse buildings. The brewery will be housed in the 1930's cinema, and the cornerhouse building turned into a brewing journey, including packaging, storage and distribution. At the top of the building will be a bar open to the public, suitable in the very nightlife driven area. We want to create a void which opens up the whole building to reveal the programme on every level, today is about experimenting with how the programme will work on each level.

DAY TWO // In order to gain a wider understanding and knowledge of our site, the Cornerhouse, we went on a site visit to both the old and new Cornerhouse buildings. We sketched, diagrammed and photographed the old Cornerhouse site, looking at aspects of the building we would want to maintain and understanding how the building connects and responds to its environment. We then walked down to the new building, HOME, which is very different to the old building. The staircase in the building is beautiful and well considered, delivering an experience. However, the rest of the building I was not fond of, lacking character and inspiration.

DAY ONE // Today we began our events by been given a short presentation overview about continuity in architecture. We then split into groups and researched buildings which sat within the categories of 'insertion/intervention/instillation'. As a group I researched the highline park in NYC, unveiling that parts of it connected to all three of the groups given. This gave us a good understanding of what repurposed architecture looks like.
