Semester 4 project at Manchester School of Architecture, Benjamin Carter.
_
A project driven by the desire to create a harmonic ensemble of buildings, divided by programme, mediating between the internal hermetic condition of Heaton Hall and the open verdure of the eponymous park. The resulting study became an investigation into the language of classicism, how to fashion a building representative of modern construction yet reconciling the two architectures; involving the abstraction of the principle of trabeation, the selective application of ornamentation, a judicious use of materiality, and a plan determined by the Palladian villa whilst negotiating with the particularities of site.
