Research methods review

  During the session, we reviewed our draft presentation. It became apparent that the slides are very dry due to the amount of the presented text and that they needed to be edited with focus on people, rather than writings.

Analysing the results

This week, the research group at BCU focused on analysing the results achieved based on the hypotheses each tested using the excel spreadsheet template issued to the group. There was an array of variations tested as there were numerous categories

Did Hockley need to be lost to be found?

In making records of Hockley Flyover, a site of ‘grade separation’ where one highway is carried over another, we attempt to evaluate the past, present and future built form to ask ‘what is the impact of urban regeneration on our

Hockley Circus – the big bottom

The enclosed pedestrian space, a public square within the road system of Hockley Circus/Flyover sits beneath the concrete deck and among the concrete pillars. Sunken below road level and accessed only by five pedestrian underpasses. ‘Sunken’ – ‘Under’ – ‘Below’

Mapping and Manipulating

With ‘Grade Seperation’ in mind we are using Hockley Underpass, in Birmingham as a precedent. As part of the digital/tangible subgroup we have mapped elements of a sculpture by William Mitchell that forms part of the boundary of the underpass.
