Connection to Harringay Warehouse District

My intention was to create space that continuously develops the site and naturally follows the surroundings. So I tried to use as many local materials as possible. The main element of my concept is scaffolding that fits into the industrial site.
Using wooden elements I wanted to link to nature and fit into the local environment.

Proposal Outline

The site is located at the crossroads in an industrial site Harringay Warehouse District. The main idea was to create a community space for all ages. Space that fits into the environment while creating its own micro spaces that provides users place to spend free time. The main element of pavilion in scaffolding that fits into the industrial site. The most important was to created pleasant atmosphere for the visitors of the pavilion.
It forces passersby to find out what’s going on ,,behind the fence,,. The pavilion help to create a community of people who want to spend time together. Offers a multifunctional place for children and adults, space for chill, reading, concerts, garden party or exhibitions.
Designed space creates a specific atmosphere, working with nature and micro spaces.
The scaffolding is an easy-to-adjust construction, low maintenance and easy to modulate. One scaffolding element is 2x3x2m. The wholestructure is 16 meters long, 9 meters wide and 6 meters high. Construction offer a variety of urban spaces. The advantage is that people can create their own space using hammcock and seat bags. Using curtains, people can create their private space and control lighting. Space is made of three main elements and it is a scaffolding module and two types of steps. The first steps module would provide seating for various outdoor performance. Second steps allow visitors to enter and exit the structure. The u-shaped structure creates its own micro-space which can be used as a stage for concerts, dancing, physical activities…
Structure is creating new spatial possibilities for facilitating and encouraging cultural events and gatherings on this previously underutilized site.
