Having completed the conceptual side of my project it is time to focus on the 'real' architecture. After thinking about the mill building and its current state I started to think what it is/could be used for...the answer at the moment is that it is home to squatters.
Many people view squatters negatively however they often bring use to unused buildings, are self sufficient and en-capture a sense of community urban planners could only dream off. For my first series of Sketch models I focused on temporary changes that could be made internally with minimal change to the exterior to transform the space into a livable area.
The structure of the existing mill interior is divided in the middle by a series of parallel columns. This model begins to look at how to temporarily divide the large floor plates of the mills by attaching instillations to existing structure.
