This is the first project from the AAD masters course. The site is located in Belfast and the brief was to design a peace museum specifically as a community hub in for locals and tourists. “The joy of destruction” is a phrase I have carried through since my concept film. It influenced both the material choices and the form of the scheme. The form resembles a smashed brick, with recycled brick in the facade- acting as an aggregate within concrete slabs.

The museum sits in three sections on the site, with a central courtyard, through which you enter all buildings. Each of these three masses has a separate function ranging from public to semi public to private.

The theme of the concept film was to explore destruction of common material and how it can be portrayed as an enjoyable activity.
Materiality experimentation using concrete and bricks. This is the materiality that would be on the facades throughout the scheme.
