Design Development.

Preparing work for the SPAB Award was a useful exercise in regards to completing a finalised and suitably resolved proposition and overall project narrative. Often, when competition submission are prepared in practice, the focus is upon the creation of a whole proposal that works, accepting that the limited time scale may lead to some elements not being satisfactorily resolved.

Regarding the scheme at Bursledon further interrogation and development is required to address issues that perhaps could have been resolved completely. In particular three areas have been highlighted as perhaps needing more work specifically, in addition to an overall interrogation of the scheme. These are:

The entrance ramp and space in regards to their relationship and format.

Finally the function, narrative and concept behind the landscape 'wall' interventions, which are intended to provide a frame work for craft activity and storage units as well as accommodation for conferences and taught courses.

The relationship between the functions of the display areas on the first floor and the brick archive on the ground floor in the drying sheds.
