Mag:net:work is a design proposal of interconnecting architecture covering 4 hectares of land. The proposal looks to transform Dundee’s Seabraes Yard into an innovative public redevelopment space. In association with Dundee Waterfront, Mag:net:work embodies the methods of creative placemaking. This suggested a ‘work live play’ concept between suburban and interurban city space. The site will attract creative indu stries and visitors to experience Dundee’s Unesco City of Design ethos. Once an old shipping yard, this connection with the Tay creates a sense of place through a wave of creativity.

Mag:net:work sits on the magnetic north line and faces south onto Dundee’s River Tay. This building is the sites meeting point. There is a reception for guests who are staying in micro-houses on the site to check in. This hub also provides a place to eat, drink, socialise and engage in live performance and exhibitions. This is with the hub’s coffee/food bar, gallery space and external amphitheatre.The main hub also provides 4 in-house business offices for rent, with a shared kitchen space and meeting rooms provided. This is to encourage a co-design working style. These offices as well as Dundee’s existing District 10 office, located on the site, provide an internship opportunity. The hub additionally provides rooms for training or service design workshops. This feature means that people will take the experience away with them. Secondly, the site has two micro house clusters, ‘233 collective’ and ’67 collective’ which both sit on this degree from the main hub. These micro houses provide an opportunity for locals or tourists to visit and experience the site as well as provide residency for artists or interns working within the main hub. Finally, the site is home to an existing building called District 10 which sits 10 degrees off from the collectives. The building was designed by ‘aim design’ architects with the ambition to multiply and a provide a place for creative industries. For this part of the site, I have suggested the building is multiplied by three and interconnected.
