Drawing on the findings of your earlier site survey drawings and a critical analysis of Hopkins Architects' feasibility study for a new development at the Herne Hill Velodrome, produce your own spatial strategy for a new architectural proposition on the site. Hopkins' study provides us with the base client requirements for our own proposals on the site so a critical assessment of its pros and cons is an essential starting point.
Your first spatial strategies should be approached as sketch arrangements of what might be achievable on the site. You should present a minimum of three different spatial arrangement sketches and critically assess each ones merits within the context of your design portfolio. 3rd years should be thinking about how a secondary programme could be added to the existing base programme.
