Manifestos

Research

As a core tool for the Y6 Thesis projects, the initial research and project intentions were collated into design manifestos which were intended to underpin the project throughout the year. A range of projects are seen below presenting the detailed and critical research underpinning the proposals.

THOMAS CUNNINGHAM + TOBIAS MACKRILL // THE RETENTION CENTRE

Read full manifesto here

Concept

The Retention Centre seeks to nurture arrivals by granting them the facilities to overcome barriers to vital, resourceful and existential equality, such that they can make an informed, voluntary decision to remain. The project aims to foster the bilateral exchange of skills, experiences and cultures to emphasise how symbiosis between native and foreign populations will lead to mutual prosperity. View project here

SAMANTHA MOONEY // THE SOUK OF SAN SIRO

Read full manifesto here

  • Concept

The Prada Group have commissioned the The Souk of San Siro: a state of the art facility which demonstrates how a circular economy can be achieved through the reuse, up-cycle and re-sale of unwanted, unsold or worn out clothes, reducing reliance on raw materials. View project here

JAIMIE CLAYDON // WORK IT OUT

Read full manifesto here

‘Work It Out’ is a start-up incubator and neighbourhood regeneration plan encouraging social integration and local economic growth through knowledge exchange, start-up facilities and digital manufacturing, recognising Milan’s underrepresented existing network of entrepreneurs and a generational shift in workplace design expectations.

EMILY GLYNN // ARRIVE WITH TROVARE CASA

Read full manifesto here

  • Exploring Destinations of Escape

Trovare Casa, a new mode of travel agency, translating directly to ‘finding home’, aims to provide a meaningful platform to aid those in the process of arriving, playing on the ideals of a ‘holiday’ to create a temporary escape and destination and change the narrative of migration.

CLARE MCKAY // RECLAIMING LUXURY

Read full manifesto here

The project speculates on the creation of a new ‘neighbourhood luxury’; taking the functions of the everyday and elevating them to become spatially and temporally luxurious. Drawing from the context, three forms of luxury are conceptualised – dining, bathing, and imagining – each interpreted in multiple forms of private, semi-private, and collective luxury.

FARHANA JIWA // THE SAN SIRO CHARTER

Read full manifesto here

Concept Section

The San Siro [Design] Charter sets out guiding principles for the project through a critical analysis of the CIAM 4 and Athens Charter. The building programme challenges and rethinks the ideal of a ‘Functionalist City’ through the its four functions: Habitation, Leisure, Work and Connectivity. View project here
