This projected was centred on the 1938 Hunslet Mill and Victoria Complex in Leeds I proposed a prototypical project that would create a flood alleviation scheme and a new film facility as well as the renovation of the rest of the existing buildings into to aid the local community that does not even have a retail space nearby and bring new business to these neglected area. The new film facility proposal asks for the removal of all the interior of the east range building of the complex, and replace it with a new structure that fallows standards more suitable for the overall site strategy while retaining the original red brick facade. The site is designed to increase the people flow towards this area and to be a destination that adds to the Leeds Industrial trail. Horizontally, the site is arranged to invite people into the area from the river cycling trail, by taking advantage of the flood management technics for public use. Vertically the new structure connects the building’s interior with the landscape by having a semi-public atrium/interior courtyard that doubles as a gathering zone for people at all levels inside and outside of the building STUDIO H RENOVATION OF THE HUNSLET MILL AND VICTORIA WORKS COMPLEX | MArch II 2015/16 LEEDS, UK 2016 2016 Part II Student Project | Leeds Beckett University Transverse Section Across Soundstage and site Longitudinal Diagrammatic Section Render view with Flood System Flooded Render view with Flood System Empty Software/ Tools used: AutoCAD, Rhinoceros, InDesign, Photoshop, 3DS Max, Scketchup.
A prototypical wetland system for flood control and management A prototypical wet land system for flood control and management gives an opportunity to develop new public spaces. By rising the ground level of the East range building the cycling network can pass below the building extending throughout the site parallel to the river. The possible impact of the this system would have on the site was predict by using a Rhino script to analyse how water flows through a specific topography and how much does it impact land and the buildings, STUDIO H RENOVATION OF THE HUNSLET MILL AND VICTORIA WORKS COMPLEX | MArch II 2015/16 LEEDS, UK 2016 2016 Part II Student Project | Leeds Beckett University Enlarged Soundstage Detail Site Before and After | Flood Alleviation Scheme Diagram | Design Development Diagram

It has been increasingly marginalised since the demise of the textile industry, it is a city of rich architectural and cultural heritage that despite its problems make it a unique city experience. In recent years citizens of Bradford have felt despair at the decisions made on their behalf by the elected politicians both locally and nationally. The objective of the project was to propose through an architectural response a proposition as a catalyst for real change and empowerment, located in a site of the old Bradford Odeon cinema which witness an all community coming together to protect a building from demolition attempts throughout the years. This to create; environments that would house arranged public debates to engage locals and find innovative and alternative solutions for local issues, environments to train and engaged with those that are active involved in the community and those that want to, flexible environments that could house a different range of events and activities that promote community cohesion such as live events, exhibitions, social and informal gatherings CITIZEN POWER BRADFORD & CONVERSATION SPACE MArch I 2014/15 BRADFORD, UK 2015 Software/ Tools used: AutoCAD, InDesign, Photoshop, 3DS Max, Scketchup.
