Design: Architectural Narratives - My Story

 The Flooding of Broad Street

I slowly ripple down the length of Broad Street,

Submerging the paths of the people I meet,

The storm rolling in as I pave the way,

Shrills and cheers as boats come to rescue people from

my embrace,

When will this stop? The people say.

 

It's 1910 and I bitterly encase everything with no dismay.

 

 

 

Time has passed by and technology has twisted change,

The old winter storms are only a breeze these days,

Sea walls mocking me from having Broad Street again,

Remembering the times when I controlled the cityscape,

I torment the people, as I sit silently waiting for my next

moves.

 

It's 2021 and I barely see anyone at all.

 

 

 

I don’t know what the future entails,

Like the flip of a coin, I could be the ruler or fail,

The lands of Broad Street could be mine to take if the

effects of Climate change fall into place,

I hope for the future's sake the people win,

To make sure their sea defences don’t let me in.

Concept Explained

  My concept is all about the development of a frog and how this development is very similar to the growth of child development. With my main form I want to show how there is this growth in the buildings changing size around the site. This change will be done in an almost circular formation within the site. This is created with both my curved (learning spaces) and geometric (main functions) buildings through the form of them in a circular setting. The learning spaces are showing the life cycle from the start years when there is the start of the frog’s development as a tadpole. The change of the sizes getting bigger for each classroom shows how the tadpole will be getting larger and developing new skills like what the children are going through. This then leads onto the main function’s spaces with the hall, kitchen and staff spaces. These spaces are resembling the frog due to this being at the end of the life cycle. This space is shared between everyone in the nursery and has lo...
