2011 MA A+U graduate Jack O’Reilly has been awarded the Andy Robson Award in the Manchester Society of Architects Design Awards 2012 for his Belfast-based thesis project ‘The Pheonix Effect’.

- The mixed-use highrise, as a contemporary building solution, must reconcile diversity and discontinuity within an enclosed, dense spatial environment. It requires a sensitive consideration of potential usage, in particular, a negotiation between public and private activities. This 300,000 square foot proposal features multiple lobbies, a primary performance space, a blackbox theatre, galleries, retail, office & administrative units, dormitories, many of which intersect one another; the dormitory commons open to a small theatre. The extensive gallery space surrounds the primary auditorium on all sides. A restaurant overlooks an informal student performance space. These physical and visual overlaps challenge typical programmatic solutions of fixed adjacencies and stacking to provide alternatively flexible space-making and a sense of unity within an otherwise disjointed interior vertical environment.
