Climate Action Assembly

The brief was to develop ‘a place for civic and public assembly, participation, self-governance and administration, with a focus on climate action agenda,’ in Leith, Edinburgh.

My exploration of this brief was based on 4 key concepts:


- Light, how the site changes throughout the day and year. How is it affected by sun and shade?


- Key Paths, what are the key routes in the area? How can people be directed through the space and encouraged to participate?

 

- Topography, the challenging topography provided interesting opportunity to explore hierarchy of spaces.


- Assembly, I explored levels of formality of assembly and allowed it to influence the layout of the building.
