PROJECT 05:09 "Warwick BAr", BIRMINGHAM
"Media Village" and Creative Quarter Regeneration Proposal
Architecture and Integrated Urban Design: AZHAR ARCHITECTURE
Integrated Energy Strategy: Brian Dunlop Associates
Ecology: Mike Wells

New elements intervening between existing objects. Creating a series of urban spaces, which connect street- life to canal life.

The site of “Warwick Bar” is extraordinary, its close proximity to the centre, its canal edges, and its rich industrial heritage. Our solution was based on creating a sustainable solution by providing a mix of
uses, (commercial, cultural, residential), responding to the existing historical buildings, and creating a carefully modelled and considered public realm. We developed a bespoke methodology, which tested
and evaluated different massing and use models, to reconnect the canals with the street, with the aim of creating a vibrant addition to the city of Birmingham.

Our proposal, keeps the original valuable industrial revolution buildings and interweavs a series of interventions, including
- creative media centre
- public spaces
- performace spaces
- studios
- offices
- residential
- green bridges
