Models showing the layering of Shrewsbury’s urban fabric. The urban fabric has been split into buildings-by-century, and then layered on top of each other to depict the complete plan of Shewsbury. 2D morphology is depicted in plan form while the images on the right offer a 3D representation of the historical layering.

Sections through the implemented lift/arches and stair/arches showing materiality and the relationship between the proposed elements, the castle, and the proposed station square. The lift dematerialises as it touches the castle and sky to increase the visual connection between the elements.

Visual from ‘Station Square’ looking towards repurposed arches in the foreground, lift and staircase in the middle-ground and the castle in the background. Repurposing the arches supports our theme of ‘palimpsest’ and ‘rewriting’ on old foundations.

Plan depicting a new Welcome Mat for Shrewsbury’s primary gateway. The proposal is intended to address the convoluted circulation through and around the gateway and mitigate the visual noise abundant to the area. It offer a series of different experiences as one moves between the squares; each square possessing an individual identity founded on the notions of palimpsest, layering and history.
