This thesis is a reflection on the implications of
Abstract

architecture on the subjects of nostalgia and identity.


The root of this lies in the correlation of field to
memories and experientiality of spaces. A study of
the derelict buildings and forsaken pockets in the
urban fabric that lay in a state of abandonment and
often become subjected to the capitalist-economic
forces, annihilating them from the maps forever. These
buildings and spaces, however non-monumental,
interplay into creation of the identity of cities and are
containers of memories from the past, breed alternate
present atmospheres that are often seen as repulsive
and considered hindrances to the development of
cities. The argument here is that these spaces have
imbued in them, meaning and lost stories, identities
and unique experiences that can be re-breathed as
modest identities of the city. The death of architecture
can be beautifully structured alongside gentrification
of landscapes. They can become ghosts of the city,
existing as the voids, and potentially sprawling out
of their place to infiltrate the ‘clean’ and the ‘new’.
2
This project becomes a critique towards not only how
heritage is engaged with, but uprooting the deep seeded
histories of colonization and the rigid grid system that
have permanently imprinted on the natural landscapes.
These spaces can become places of surreal intersection of
past and present, as an understanding of new methods of
occupation and inhabitation of spaces. They become an
experimental engagement with our lost histories of the land.

The derelict and rejected voids born out of a cycle of


changing construct of identities of and within the city,
often resulting from economic, social and political factors
that become weeds of the replenished grasslands can
potentially have breathe in them new lives through systems
and performances that people then engage with. Rather
than understanding heritage as preservation of facades,
retaining parts of the building fronts as monumental entities,

these buildings that were once ‘spaces’, can be brought


to life as ‘contained voids’ rather than ‘objects’.

Nostalgia of these spaces is understood in analogue


with desire. Memories are fragmented and distorted;
the conceptualization of which is allegorically explored
in the proposed architecture. The thesis sits at the crux
of a conflicting past: the aboriginal and colonial. It
aims to work with the tensions between these critical
historic identities. An influx of varied cultures can sit
within these voids, at the crux of which lies sharing
knowledge and education about the land we stand on.

They then become ‘ghost entities’ that survive through


new cultures and inhabitations, performances and
infrastructures that are reflecting of the past.
A radicalization of derelict architecture and dysfunctional
voids as containers of lost identities that can be revived
through new methods of inhabitation and engagement
with the spaces, not just mere objects of the past. This
becomes a broader inflltration into the urban fabric
of the ‘ghosts’ as a radical disruption of the rigid grid
systems. Letting the inhabitation and function of such en -
tities, that begin to form a part of the voids, be informed
through fiuid cultures manifested in the society, allowing
the ‘ghost entities’ to evolve as a part of the construct,
unrejected. Can the derelict architecture be understood
not as mere weeded objects of unwelcome atmo -
spheres and rather ghosts of the past that live through
the continuous gentriflcation of cities and landscapes?

The Manhattan Transcripts
1976-1981

The Manhattan Transcripts proposed to transcribe an


architectural interpretation of reality. The Transcripts’ explicit
purpose was to transcribe things normally removed
from conventional architectural representation, namely
the complex relationship between spaces and their
use, between the set and the script, between “type”
and “program,” between objects and events. Their
implicit purpose had to do with the 20th-century city.

and what happens in space.”

Douglas Darden
His architecture work was closely
related with literature, so it’s not a
coincidence that his speculative
projects were developed around
historical places, and instead of
solutions to architecture problems, they
offer allegories.

Petrifying Memories:
Architecture and the
Construction of Identity
Hilde Heynen
“Collective memory is based on lived experiences and is in
diverse, unpredictable ways connected to objects, buildings
or places. The collective memory is multiple and chaotic,
it provides direct links to the past, rather than objectifled
images of history.”

between a desire to expose and even stronger

Crises and Decay


Hunter Street: Capital hub to vandalized,
disturbed and crime hub due to
abandonment.

Newcastle City Centre has remained dead and


dysfunctional since the closure of BHP Industrial
giant and its transformation from ‘Steel City’ to
a commodified town of a ‘Problem City’. Once
a thriving marketplace, central to a massive
provider of economics and employment through
port and railway activities, the CBD has become
catalyst to a crisis and decay that followed post-
industrialization. The act of abandonment of the
main Hunter Street, as the city saw a decentralized
creation of suburbia conditions, emergence of
new shopping centers and ease of car accessibility
shifted the inhabitants to these now gentrified
suburbs. Now the street survives in the atmosphere
of disturbances, vandalism, and street crime due
to its abandonment. Its breathed new peculiar
conditions of ‘subnature’ (David Gissen) within the
derelict architecture of the space. In an attempt
to revive the dying City Center, the place is
witnessing a rapidly gentrified landscape, wiping
out the atmospheres of the naturally evolved
unique conditions of this City Center, alongside
the history contained within these spaces.

as an immanent and necessary process built into the


city and its identity itself. This creates an urban dialectic,
which works with the dilapidation, disposition and the
abandoned structures as natural emergent state of the
City. It becomes a series of fragmented machines that
are slowly revived, uncovering and tracing the histories
of lost cultures and systems once contained within them.
They become silent ‘Ghost entities: derelict space and

silenced.’ The true identity of the city resides within these
structures/spaces, which is a “fragmented collection of its
past events clearly visible not a unitary image (of the
city) but a living collage, a union of fragments.” (Ungers).

inflltrate the current and evolving urban developments.
This can lead to conditions of tension of survival between
the past, decay and current need of the capital, i.e.,
apartment developments. The City Center, among this
tension, will evolve a new kind of inhabitation, chaotic
and highly fragmented. A new kind of socio-natural-
political inhabitation, which is the true image of this city.

The [present] Hunter Street Mall encapsulates
the ghosts of a Market place and a Theatre as
it’s dominant personalities, before becoming
a shopping center. Among these transitions,
it saw a collapse through construction
failures and the very flrst ABC broadcast in
the history of the city. These events, together
with the past characters and the typologies
of space, are translated into the ideology
of ‘Petrifled Passages’ that encapsulate the
void-al condition of the space. The spaces
are draw from the past lines that become, yet
again, a part of the urban, containing social
spaces for theatrics and markets, inhabited
by fiora and fauna. The noise and chaos is
captured through disarrayed movements, yet

reimagined as spaces with new functions,
and new voids that connect the alleyways.

Sitting in front of the glorious Church is the
[now] demolished Car Park, which has been
questioned for its ugliness and usefulness
to the city center. Derived from the capitalist
conditions and demands for the [then] busy
shopping center, this car park was perhaps the
only systematic station for cars in the city center.
Now the conditions of the site lay barren with
weeds, grafflti, and undulated topography.
This perfectly tensions with the colonial
geometric mind, which was dominant on this
site since the beginning. The future of the site
also was in tension between its gentriflcation
and gloriflcation of Church through ‘Spanish
Stairs’ or ‘Stairway to heaven’. The ghost
of the car park, symbolic of systematic
movement, echoes, and occasional dank
conditions, inhabits the present conditions of
the ground and atmospheres. Rejecting the
grids, tension between geometries, this space

becomes a constant act of construction and


deconstruction of its use as a passageway
and station [Forum] for unheard stories of
the Awaba People. The act of this cyclic
assemblage and disassembly is sought in the
fragmented arrangements of its parts as well
as the exterior of the ghost, which can often
reveal the ugliness in front of the Gloriflcation.

The Corporation Baths house exited on the site
of city’s fresh water source and was a resultant
of demands for a safe bathing space for the
women of Newcastle. However the urgent
need, it underwent a 10 year long debate
before the actual construction and through
its life, struggled to survive economically for
the council and owner. The then uniquely
beautiful faade housed the grotesque
conditions of the baths caused by coal industry
and its workers. There were several times that
the flnances of the place had to look for other
adaptations. The ghost of Newcastle bath
that exhibited unpleasant conditions and lack
of functionality was replaced by the flrst ever
City Arcade, a true cover up with modern glass
and American tiles to ‘rectify’ the problem.
Now laying barren and shut off, the ghost
of this place allegorically refuses to serve a
particular function, becoming a palimpsest
of leisure and physical performances. Each
Manifesto

element shows a desperation for existence,


mechanizing the economy of place: leveraged
to use by people but working towards the
cycle of fresh water. Distorting the notion
of beauty and invitation, it demonstrates
chaos. Chambering exhaustion, the ghost
becomes nostalgic to the grotto of the
baths, and protected beauty of the Arcades.

This prideful theatre, known for its grandiose,
began as a small wooden structure behind a
hotel to one of the largest theaters of its time.
Changing ownerships and ever expanding in
the portrayal of luxury, this eventful movement
and formations of Victoria is observed in
three stages, hence the occurrence of the
three Victorias. Attached, adapted and flnally
embodying her own identity, enriched with
embellishments, her faade being the last
to flnish the construction of it. This Temple of
Drama saw celebratory chaos, a division of
crowds and suffocations. The space never
enough and always in need to grow bigger,
it shrouds an internal gentriflcation of glamour
and entertainment. The ghost of Victoria
splits itself into the three historic locations,
attempting to eradicate the wealth division,
yet amplifying the per formative movements
Manifesto

to the dress circle, pit and the stalls. Staged


in itself, the act of occupying the ‘theatre’
becomes the performances in themselves. The
main Victoria inhabits a chaos of stages, that
needs crowding to open up roof ventilation
and provision for electricity. A house of current
conditions of debris and pigeons, the image of
luxury is made redundant. Performances and
construction of space occurs simultaneously.

the continuous live on and at the same
renewal of evolving time have the ability to
socio-ecological amalgamate a sense of

An aspect of this can
also be creating grounds
for shared knowledge

Socio-Natural Design

Socionature is the
idea that nature and
humanity are one
and the same and
can be thought of or
referenced as a single
concept. A change
in the perception of
how we inhabit the
spaces as a part of
nature instead of
institutionalizing it
to work with our
socio-economic
systems, rather focus
on creation of larger

The idea of imparting knowledge and
Histories
Signiflcant sites

awareness about country by Aboriginal


people has always been immersively
in the country, through story telling and
narration. There is a sense of engagement
with the land and the past cultures that
help build identities among broader
audiences. This methodology of sensitizing
people and revival of culture is attempted
to given a platform in the design where
‘gathering’ spaces are created among
decolonized spaces.
These spaces then can become platform
for collaborating various cultures through
practicing and displaying art that gets
ephemerally contained within and
openly accessible. This can happen on
the [regenerated lands] as a reiteration
of working on landscapes to holistically
immerse in these cultures and be sensitive
to the land where we practice them.

Embodied Carbon
Analysis
[A0-A5]
Within the Whole Life Carbon of a built environment, the first
stage is the Embodied Carbon of construction materials. This
is called the Upfront Embodied Carbon, consisting of pre-
construction, manufacturing and the construction stages of each
material.

Upfront Embodied Energy of the materials used in the Theatre


Market Intervention has been calculated and laid out in the
following segment:

Figure 49: Embodied Carbon Table

This Speculative Project assumes the pre-condition


of a site set to demolish and attempts to retain
parts of spaces as refurbished fragments.
Therefore, there is assumed to be no pre-
construction condition of demolition for Carbon
calculation purposes.

Alternatives for
Lower Carbon Footprint

210
211
The interventions have mostly been raised above the ground
in conjunction with Regenerative Design Principles, which
further reduces the overall otherwise required carbon footprint
for these interventions. Permeable grounds are left for
regenerative growth of native flora, having no carbon impact.

Using salvaged materials from the sites is a dominant factor


throughout all interventions. This has been particularity
highlighted in the table above, with the re-use bricks of each
structure. Other than the bricks, most structural parts, like trusses
are also proposed to be re-purposed, hence significantly
reducing the carbon footprint of each of the interventions, since
the carbon is already spent and it is saved from landfill.

Since Concrete forms a major part of new construction for


this particular intervention, an alternative to the traditional
concrete, i.e., ECOPact Low Carbon Concrete is planned to be
used in major slab constructions.
Other alternatives for structural columns and staircases have
been sought, which replace a certain percentage of cement
(impacting major footprint of concrete) with other better
alternatives: Fly Ash, which is more durable, uses less water and
can be more cost effective.

Another aim to reduce carbon impact is the use of sustainability


sourced timber, wherever applicable.

Polycarbonate Sheeting had been used across various areas


of this particular intervention. However, to reduce the high
carbon impacts of this material, composite Biopolymer sourced
from Algea will be used . This is a direct reflection back to the
manifesto of atmospheres that emphasize the conditions of
Algae that can be used to purify the air as well as make the
plastic more biodegradable.
Since algae is proposed to be farmed within the intervention, it
further reduced the carbon impacts at its stages of production.

212
Embodied Carbon Reduction
Methodologies

213
Algae Farming

MicroAlgae is used for capturing carbon and sequestration.


Scientists have been involved in bio-capturing CO2 using
algae, and conversion of microalgae biomass containing CO2
into energy (biofuel) or other value-added products.
Microalgae-based carbon capture technology is dependent
on the species of microalgae, cultivation systems, and growth
conditions (e.g., temperature, culture medium, pH, salinity,
turbidity, light intensity, etc.).

Regenerative Landscape

A layer of reviving ghosts is uprooting the ground conditions to


allow regeneration, by planting native trees and creating of
eco-pockets to allow a Country-centric, holistic system that will
help in carbon absorption from the atmosphere.
“Reforestation of landscapes using native tree and shrub
species, termed environmental plantings, has been recognized
as a carbon offset methodology which can contribute to
biodiversity conservation as well as climate mitigation.”
This helps in sequestration and storing carbon in the soil, for
consumption by the microorganism in the ground, helping
create holistic systems.

Urban Farming

Urban farming successfully re purposes city spaces into


sustainable food sources, helping combat issues of climate
change, reduce carbon emissions, helping revive biodiversity
and converse water while becoming a self-sufflcient source of
food. It also becomes an affective use of space, in the current
flght for land, harvesting efflcient methods of city’s holistic
operations as nature centric and not simply human centric
spaces.

214
Carbon Offsetting
Aside from using materials with low embodied carbon, one of
the key principles for Carbon Offsetting is reducing the Green
House Emissions by providing sources that can absorb the
Carbon released by the built environment and activities around
it. Thus, this project, through planting extensively, having urban
farming and nurseries, ecological pockets, contributes to offset
the Carbon to certain extent.

In-Use Carbon
Analysis
[B1-B5]
After the fragments are revived successfully and in operation,
they are sought to analogically infiltrate the city. This infiltration
becomes a part of in-use carbon. Apart from this, the spaces
need to be maintained and allow for repair carbon as well.
This speculative project assumes that the ghosts will live and be
repaired for as long, retaining the identity of the city, supported
by new gentrified landscapes. Thus the built form might
potentially incur maintenance and repair carbon exceeding the
assumed lifespan of the built environment.

Operation of the Ghosts can account for a minimum incorporated

The Archipelagic conditions of the interventions (Ghosts) allow
for systems to connect and work holistically, production of energy
and resources contained within these bodies.
That been said,two major
sources of energy and water
production are highlighted here
that help in the reduction of
operational carbon.

Average Total water usage = 987.7 Liters/per day

225
Hydroponic Farming is one of the three methods of the ag-
tech radical Vertical Farming methods. It uses water instead of
soil to submerge the plant roots and with nutrients added to
the water to constantly feed the plants.

Hydroponic Farming can have several benefits:


1. It needs no soil
2. Conserves water: studies have shown it uses almost 95% less
water than traditional farming methods.
3.Facilitates Micro-Climates by providing perfect conditions for
each crop.
4. With optimal growing conditions, the crops grow faster.
5. Maximizes space utility and therefore reducing cost.
Especially allowing ecosystems to exist within the cities.
6. Requires less labour and produces higher yield

Vertical Farming is introduced in the project as a response


to the socio-natural principle of inhabitation. The desire for
self-sufficient, nurtured environments can be achieved through
this. It corresponds to the First Nation principles of working with
Country, the cyclic give and take. The Ghost of Theatre Market
will contain farming that is nurtured by the residents of the
newly gentrified space, which in turn with provide them with
fresh farm produce. This will create a relationship between
human and nature in the most traditional method.

Figure 54: Grey Water Recycling

Reed Beds are aquatic plant based wastewater treatment


systems which allow bacteria, fungi and algae to digest the
nutrient found in wastewater, as a passive biological means
of water purification. A Reed Bed is made up of a rectangu-
lar prism or cylindrical shape, which may be lined with an
impermeable membrane to protect its walls from root pene-
tration, or made from material which is impervious. It is filled
with gravel of various sizes and planted with macrophytes
such as reeds. Primary Treated Wastewater (Blackwater and
Greywater), or untreated Greywater, pass through the root
zone of the reeds where it undergoes treatment via physical,
chemical and biological interactions between the macro-
phytes, micro-organisms, gravel and atmosphere. Inlet and
outlet pipes are positioned below the gravel surface, so that
the water always remains below the surface, thus minimiz-
ing the risk of human exposure to the wastewater, mosquito
breeding and unpleasant odors.

Bibliography]
Victims: John Hejduk
This work which forms a critical part of Hejduk’s
life , views city as an analogical theatre
of characters containing architecture. An
examination of relationship between society and
city through the lens of theatre. ‘Victims’ is a set of
proposed characters that will ephemerally form
a part of the city of Berlin through a set of rules.

Hejduk, J. (1986). Victims. Architecture Association


London.

The Manhattan Transcripts: Bernard Tschumi


A series of architectural diagrams that explore
the fleld of architecture beyond space and
account for its movements, time and actions.
Transcribing things normally removed from
architecture drawings was the main aim of this
project. It explores new narrative techniques
(cinematic) to evoke new forms of spatial critique.
A study that uses drawings and photographs to
talk events.

London.

A City in the City: Oswald Mathias Ungers and


Rem Koolhaas
This groundbreaking manifesto reimagines Ber -
lin as a series of interconnected islands of distinct
urban forms. Ungers and Koolhaas challenge
conventional notions of urban planning, proposing
a dynamic urban fabric with diverse, self-contained
structures. Their thought-provoking vision prompts
reconsideration of spatial relationships and the
concept of urbanity.

City: Berlin - A Green Archipelago. St Martins Press.

Arcades Project: Walter Benjamin
The Arcades Project is Benjamin’s effort to
represent and to critique the bourgeois
experience of nineteenth-century history, and,
in so doing, to liberate the suppressed “true
history” that underlay the ideological mask.
In the bustling, cluttered arcades, street and
interior merge and historical time is broken up
into kaleidoscopic distractions and displays of
ephemera.

Subnature: David Gissen


This book explores the relationship between
architecture and the idea of subnatures: rejected
and non-normative forms of nature that are
envisioned as threatening to inhabitants or the
material formations and ideas that constitute
architecture. Saying that “Nothing is inherently
subnatural in architecture and rather resultant of
social and subsequent architectural practices”,
he talks about certain subnatures like dust,
dampness, crowd, insects, pigeons etc. and how
they can be incorporated in architecture.

Environments. Princeton Architectural Press, New
York.

Condemned Buildings: Douglas Darden


Darden’s 9 projects offer allegorical interventions
in historical places based on ideogramic
process of exploration. They perform as literary
devices for architecture, narrating stories and
performances.

X-Urbanism: Mario Gandelsonas
A series of analytical drawings of the American
city that contain formal explorations of urban
fabrics. ‘X-Urbanism raises questions about the
form of the city by examining various conflgu -
rations of urban space, analyzing them in ways
that blur the traditional opposition between
flgure and ground’.

Gandelsonas, M. (1999). X-Urbanism:Architecture


and the American City. Princeton Architectural
Press.

Disorienting Phenomenology: Bryan Norwood


Critically challenging phenomenology as
a pure experience and stem away from
instrumentalization. He argues to understand the
subject of phenomenology as a method vs the
traditional intellectual movement. Not to think
of the subject in opposition to technology, as
conventionally thought.

gy: [Introduction]. Log, 42, 10–22.

New term that describes environmental distress and nostalgia as
experienced while being a part of the place.

Out of Line [PotsdamerPlatz]: Daniel Libeskind


A project that radically engages with the
dialectics of space as that of confronting
pasts and reimagining the future. A matrix of
intersecting lines that contained in them, memory
fragments, this project is critical exploration
of the past, with mix use functions three
dimensionally structured across the lines.

Dark Emu: Bruce Pascoe
A book that unveils wrongly portrayed history of
pre-colonial Australia. It helps understand and
link various practices of the First Nation peo -
ple that give a broader understanding of their
cultures.

Hearts of the City: Herbert Muschamp


A collection of writing published on New York
Times, the city is critiqued uniquely by drawing
on fllm, literature and popular culture. His person -
al experiences of city and evolution draws upon
confiicts: desire to expose and even stronger
desire to overlook.

Muschamp, H. (2009). Hearts of the City: The


Selected Writings of Herbert Muschamp. Knopf
Publishing Group.

Parc de la Villette: Bernard Tschumi


A new way of understanding parks, this project
incorporates urban park based on culture rather
than nature, with unique red enamel street folies
comprising of leisure functions. Like Hejduk, the
master plan is to build over time period of 15
years. The folies are superimposed based on
movement, can be reflected directly onto his
Manhattan Transcripts.

Bridge City, Lausanne: Bernard Tschumi


A project that re-examines the traditional use of
bridges and make them inhabitable. Working
in correlation with the dynamics created in the
city: horizontal relationships as well as oblique
or vertical ones. It attempts to retain the old,
but views dysfunctional buildings as rendered
useless and city can function with the dichotomy
of renovations and transformation. 239
