This thesis looks at the exploration of residual spaces that coexists between buildings, which are the by-products of urban development that occurs to the complex urban environments of our cities. It will focus on these neglected “nooks and crannies” and how these spaces can be facilitated to allow public interaction to occur. These pockets of spaces that are scattered throughout our cities are often overlooked. They have immense potential because their scales can vary, and they have unique characteristics. It is through their malleable nature that they can be subjected to change so that we can start interacting with the built environment in different scales and creating moments of spatial awareness. It is important to note that the when talking about these residual spaces, it does not necessarily focus on spaces such as public parks and squares, or spaces that look to provide existing infrastructure to our cities. It is looking at the fragmented areas that are the results left behind by construction, that wedge themselves in a tightly knit urban environment. Buildings have the potential to shape our cities. They create complex and intricate systems and leave behind footprints of development which is utilized by several different factors. However, when we look at the vast collection of multi functional buildings in our cities, we tend to dwell only on its functional aspects and the roles that it plays for the user, and rarely look at the impact that these buildings have on their direct and surrounding context. The basis for this thesis is located in the Auckland CBD. A series of criteria will be used as tools of evaluation, which will result in the identification of multiple sites. The purpose of these sites will look to define the potential of these residual spaces, which allows us to start creating opportunities and moments that interconnects the different layers of information derived within the urban environment. The thesis with the help of key literature, texts and precedent studies results in the culmination of interventions that will create spatial awareness through a series of thresholds and transition. It will allow us to create several processions and moments in spaces where they are not necessarily possible. |
