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.

Painting the cut-outs

We painted the mdf cut-outs using emulsion paint and covered it in a protective gloss.  This was to ensure the paint did not run off the mdf if it rained or came in contact with water.  We purchased the paint at Harry Nablets located on North Street, Belfast.  This shop sells paints and other decorating materials and instruments at a cheaper price which are second hand or slightly damaged.

Our painting disaster!
