Architecture A4

Group A4:
Aimee McAvoy, Mark Glover, Diarmuid Porter, Darragh Sherry, Sean Heffernan & Callum Black

Project Title:
P2 Intervention of Making

Introduction to the Project:
We have been asked to make a meaningful intervention that improves the experence of a selected activity space.

The last project we carried out was in Nick's Warehouse in Hill Street, which is situated in the Cathedral Quarter of Belfast. This is an award winning restaurant which is opened for business throughout the day and evening. The building was formally a bond store for the famous "Bushmills" whiskey company. It then became a derelect pigeon loft before being transformed into one of Belfast's most popular restaurants.

After completing P1 assignment we were of the realisation that we would have to limit our intrusion into the daily activities within Nick's Warehouse. Therefore we decided to transfer our P2 assignment to an outdoor alternative location.

Making the MDF cut - outs

The cutouts were made from mdf which we purchased at Macnaughton Building Centre located on the Balmoral Road,  Belfast.
The images of the 5 landmarks in Belfast were drawn onto the mdf and cutout using a jigsaw as shown below.

Cutting out the shapes:



Sand paper was then used to smooth the edges of the cut outs.



6 and 8 cm timber "legs" were attached onto the cut-outs to provide support and allow them to stand up.  We were given the timber free of charge from one of the group members father.  This timber can be recycled after our installation presentation.
