Middlesbrough: Place Middlesbrough: Place Design Project 3: Analysis and Proposal Development James Tippling Project synopsis: The urban room The proposal seeks to reconnect the local community of Middlesbrough through the introduction of an urban room. The Farrell Review of Architecture identified the need for every town/city without an Architecture Centre to have an urban room; a platform for people to come together and actively discuss the past, present and future visions of that place. The focal point of the project concentrates on the current disengagement with the public realm such as Albert Park, a space gifted to the people of Middlesbrough by the town mayor in 1868. Located along Linthorpe Road, the proposed urban room is sited adjacent to Albert Park and on a historic access route into Middlesbrough.

Although Middlesbrough originated from the 12th century as a religious settlement sited between Durham and Whitby, it was not until the 1830s in which Joseph Pease of Darlington proposed plans for a port town on the banks of the River Tees. Middlesbrough quickly established itself as a commercial hub, new businesses emerged and a local marketplace acted as the central core to the town. Having experienced several fluctuations in the industrial climate, 2015 has seen the collapse of steelmaking in Teesside, leaving the people of Middlesbrough destined to endure another period of transition. 19c. Middlesbrough is conceived as a industrial port town on the Tees 20c. The town relocates south as industrial growth continues along the riverside 21c. Regeneration in progress as industries in Middlesbrough decline Site context General site analysis including main access links and primary uses within Middlesbrough Exploratory study of Linthorpe Road, a key access route connecting Albert Park to the town centre The people’s park? Albert Park was donated to the people of Middlesbrough in 1868 by Henry Bolckow, one of the founders of the iron and steel industry on Teesside. The park covers an area of 30 hectares in the centre of Middlesbrough. The Park is Middlesbrough's only Grade II listed Park in the English Heritage Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest. Focal points within the park include the Bandstand, a central fountain,, the sundial, South African War Memorial, a canon from the Crimean War, and a recreational lake for boating and fishing. Although generally well received, Albert Park holds a social need to respond to all demographics and requires urban regeneration in order to prevent public austerity.

Restricted character of allotment gardens Locality: An active dialogue The ‘Localism’ exhibition at the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (mima) is a public-driven project, offering a variety of cultural activities including, art galleries, creative workshops, poetry classes, public tours and conversations. The art exhibits showcases work from well-known Middlesbrough artists such as William Tilyer and Glynn Porteous, alongside up and coming artists from Teesside. The project seeks to make mima a public space for the people, generating a cultural account focussing on the heritage and future aspirations of Teesside. The ‘Localism’ exhibition reinstates the importance of locality in the development of art and community vitality. Open forum at mima Poetry reading and creative writing – using Teesside Archives to explore ‘Place’ through the collaborative of local artists and residents New Linthorpe at mima – A community-driven project coordinated by Emily Hesse and curator James Beighton Christopher Dresser and Linthorpe Pottery influence Vision to establish an art complex in Middlesbrough to manufacture ceramics, wallpaper, glass and pottery. The locally sourced clay provided an ideal material to form artwork of utility and beauty. Linthorpe Pottery was co-founded by Dresser and Sun brickworks owner John Harrison in 1879 to provide a workspace for redundant ironworkers. Although a notable figure in Middlesbrough heritage, Dresser only served as an art advisor to the pottery. Linthorpe Art Pottery Heritage Trail connecting the former pottery and the Christopher Dresser Gallery exhibited at the Dorman Museum Dorman Museum exhibit dedicated to Dresser. although his presence in Middlesbrough is largely undocumented Concept study: Dresser design principles • Integration of craft and production • Interest in botanical forms, using science as the root of truth merged with the beauty of art • Although Christopher Dresser was often classed as the direct contemporary to William Morris, the two designers shared similar beliefs and both used natural forms as patterns of rhythm in their artwork and products • Both also adopted truthful production methods which could not be replicated • Dresser had a very successful career although less recognised than Morris at the time • Influenced by John Ruskin’s teachings, particularly the ‘seven lamps of architecture’ • Sacrifice, truth, power, beauty, life, memory, obedience The three principal forms in Dresser’s decorative pattern design - the straight, the curve and the diagonal Interpretative apparatus Influenced by the perceived conflict between Dresser and Morris – allowing for both collaboration and/or privacy Christopher Dresser drew inspiration from the combination of botanical structures and geometric deconstruction A networked landscape • Zoning of park to address different audiences • Autonomous territories prompting collaboration • Divided zones transform the boundaries of the site into interactive devices (both private and shared) • Albert park as a social tool forming a collective community • Public define how the park functions • Retaining the key route through the site • Additional entry points to promote access Forming the programme ACCESS FROM TEESSIDE UNIVERSITY LOCAL CARE HOME CULTURE SOCIAL ACTIVITY DEMONSTRATION ACCESS FROM A172 Gauging public viewpoints and exploring possible strategies to benefit the local area Precedent: Parc de la Villette As part of an international competition, 1982-83, to revitalize the undeveloped land from the French national wholesale meat market and slaughterhouse in Paris, France, Bernard Tschumi envisioned Parc de la Villette as a place of culture where natural and artificial are forced together into a state of constant reconfiguration and discovery. The park is designed with three principles of organization which Tschumi classifies as points, lines, and surfaces. The series of follies give a dimensional and organizational quality to the park serving as points of reference. Unlike the follies, the paths do not follow any organisational structure; rather they intersect and lead to various points of interest within the park and the surrounding urban area. Tschumi’s Parc de la Villette is conceptualized as one large user-defined space that is completely open for interpretation. Each of the deconstructivist follies are centres for informal program. Urban scale – promoting access into the park Human scale – Re-establishing Albert Park as a place for the people of Middlesbrough The next stage - Intervention of a gateway building promoting access into Albert Park and creating a connection with the Dorman Museum.

    CONTAINS PULLOUTS Spatial Adjustments in the Teesside Economy, 1851-81. I. Bullock. NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY ---------------------------- 087 12198 3 ---------------------------- A Thesis Submitted to the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of PhD, Department of Geography 1970a ABSTRACT. This study is concerned with spatial change in a reg, - ional economy during a period of industrialization and rapid growth. It focuses on two main issues : the spatial pattl-rn of economic growth, and the locational adjustments induced and required by that process in individual sectors of the economy. Conceptually, therefore, the thesis belongs to the category of economic development studies, but it also makes an empirical contribution to knowledge of Teesside in a cru- cial period of the regionts history. In the first place, it was deemed necessary to estab- lish that economic growth did occur on Teesside between 1851 and 1881. To that end, use was made of a number of indirect indices of economic performance. These included population change, net migration, urbanization and changes in the empl. oyment structure of the region. It was found that these indicators provided evidence of economic growth, and evide- nce that growth was concentrated in and around existing urban centres and in those rural areas which had substantial mineral resources. To facilitate the examination of locational change in individual sectors of the economy - in mining, agriculture, manufacturing and the tertiary industries -, the actual spa- tial patterns were compared with theoretical models based on the several branches of location theory. In general, the models proved to be useful tools for furthering understand- ing of the patterns of economic activity and for predicting the types of change likely to be experienced during industr- ial revolution.

    Contents 1. Introduction 3 2. Background 4 3. The Solution 5 4. Next Steps 8 5. Appendices 9 2 LCWIP Linthorpe Road (Phase 1) 1. Introduction The Tees Valley Strategic Transport Plan sets out our ambition to deliver a world- class transport system in Tees Valley, ensuring integration between different transport modes. We need to make it easier for people to cycle and walk, particularly for shorter journeys and to connect into the wider transport system. The Tees Valley Cycling and Walking Implementation Plan explains our strategy for cycling and walking in further detail. The Government has recently released a document titled Gear Change: A bold vision for walking and cycling. It sets out the Government’s ambition to see a major increase in cycling and walking over the coming years. Following the Governments ambitions to increase the uptake of cycling, Middlesbrough Council, in conjunction with Tees Valley Combined Authority, have successfully gained funding from the Active Travel Fund to develop infrastructure along 2 key corridors in the region. The corridors were selected following analysis, which identified the areas with the greatest potential to achieve the ambitions of increasing cycle uptake. In Middlesbrough, this was identified as the Linthorpe Road corridor. The benefits of cycling are widely noted and are seen as a key means to reduce the congestion and associated problems that reliance upon the private car has created. Making significant improvements to the available infrastructure will help to: • Improve safety • Create
