Studio 3.2
Energy cannot become a private property accessible only for the privileged ones.
Talking to people in Burnley and reading about Burnley's housing made me realize, that there's one main common thing they all need and barely can afford - energy. All of these people's lifes might be significantly affected when they'll no longer will have access to electrical energy and heating. All of them - from Jean, who says she's been struggling with paying utility bills to run the stall at the Market to homeless, who seek shelter at Church on the Street headquarters needing to warm up, take a warm shower and drink at least one cup of hot tea - need energy in order to live & survive.
That's why I want to create a space where energy can be shared. A place where people could spend time together under one light bulb, rather than all apart under numerous light bulbs. In this way the costs will be saved and shared and an open access to heat and light created.
The project is a biomass CHP power plant to provide with energy and heat for the Burnley Market aimed to resurrect the space that is a social hub and a main retail area for the residents of the city. In this way the already existing space will be re-used and upgraded in order to response to the defined issues. By collecting and using biomass produced at the market a local energy cycle between the two buildings is created. Equipped in a visitors’ center the plant not only educates about clean energy production but also offers a warm, energy-efficient space for social gatherings.

The three final images present my Technologies submission – a detailed analysis of Liverpool’s Everyman Theatre by Haworth Tompkins Architects. Combining a use of digital models and sketches I came up with an original and approachable style rather unique for work demonstrating technical detail.
