The kiln set outside the building with a light canopy that lets through light (maybe out of something as simple as scaffolding)? Really like your idea of using terracotta, could use the same red terracotta for the outside patio around the kiln and even inside. Could also add nice benches and so on from the same terracotta material. Also, maybe the roof structure is too high.

The existing rear windows are cut out to open the building to the new patio with the kiln.

The effect could be similar to this but in brick and with a kiln in the middle. This one is by Assemble.

being terracotta would also tie it in with the local area with many of the surrounding buildings being constructed of brick. Even though brick is rare in Glasgow it was commonly used around canals everywhere in the UK. Below is the red brick whisky bond building and a recent architectural installation from 2014 also clad in murky red tones. http://www.livingonwater.co.uk/index.php/locations/show_location/29

a red terracotta kiln could contrast nicely with the building (if it's painted white). The new kiln is also quite hidden from the front of the old house so planners would be happy

Community Kiln / Potter's workshop?
Microbrewery?
Community Garden?
Outdoor cinema?
Bistro?
Nursery?
Library?
Bar, as there was one next to the site some time ago?

Something very specific would be cool.

A community kiln is added to the building by creating an opening in the rear facade. Ground floor becomes a open-air workshop space partly sheltered from the elements. Some closed-in workshop spaces can be added in the first floor.

This one is not in Riga, but they are usually very similar - sheltered free standing structures. Though I'm sure can be without a roof as well.

Zaha Hadid adds a shimmery steel tunnel to an Oxford University college

Zaha Hadid adds a shimmery steel tunnel to an Oxford University college

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Zaha Hadid has completed a new facility for the University of Oxford - a centre for studying Middle Eastern culture, conceived by the architect as a reflective tunnel suspended in space (+ slideshow).

The Investcorp Building expands the Middle East Centre at St Antony's College - one of the seven graduate colleges that comprise the UK's oldest university - providing a new lecture theatre, library and archive.

Zaha Hadid designed the building to look contemporary but to also match the scale and massing of existing buildings on the historic campus, from the Victorian-era convent and library, to the 1970s Brutalist-style Hilda Besse building.

This resulted in a smooth curving form that gradually changes in height, and also turns to avoid the trunk and roots of a century-old Sequoia tree.

"The project maintains the detached character of the college's current buildings, allowing them to be read as separate elements, while introducing a contemporary building that conveys the past, present and future evolution of the college, university and city," said Zaha Hadid Architects in a statement.

"Its design weaves through the restricted site at St Antony's College to connect and incorporate the existing protected buildings and trees, while its stainless-steel facade softly reflects natural light to echo the building's context," added the firm.

The Middle East Centre was established in 1957 as the university's primary faculty for the study of humanities and social sciences in the modern Arab world. For the last 37 years it has been housed in a former rectory at 68 Woodstock Road.

Library and Learning Centre in Vienna by Zaha Hadid Architects

The new structure bridges the gap between 68 and 66 Woodstock Road, providing three above-ground storeys and an extra level in the basement. Overall, it offers 1,127 square metres of additional floor space for the centre.

Mirrored stainless steel clads the majority of the building, allowing it to reflect its surroundings. There are also large expanses of glazing - some sections function as windows, while others have painted backs.

The 117-seat lecture theatre is housed in the basement, along with separate archives for photography and paper documents.

Above this, the more public ground floor accommodates a multi-purpose gallery space that can be used for informal meetings and study. Glazing surrounds most of this storey.

The first and second floors are contained behind the stainless-steel facade, housing the majority of the storage, reading rooms and offices that comprise the library. This includes a total of 26 desks and 2,200 square metres of linear book storage.

Oak-veneer boards are combined with perforated acoustic panels to line the walls in several rooms. There are also 25 skylights across the roof that bring natural daylight into the facility.

The plaza at the building's entrance is paved with hexagonal granite tiles, while a new lawn doubles as a green roof above the auditorium.

June 1997: The house is ravaged by fire. 1999: Consent is granted for the removal of the chimney heads, roof and rear timber porch. A temporary roof is erected. October 2002: Local planners report that the Millennium Link Project at the Glasgow Canal Strategy both provide a positive framework for regeneration along the Forth and Clyde Canal. September 2007: External inspection shows the building to be well secured. The exterior has a reasonably fresh coat of paint, although there is fresh graffiti. There are two large cracks on the front wall. The render on the north chimney is a mosiac of cracks.

September 2010: External inspection finds that since our previous visit the render to the front elevation has deteriorated and come off in patches. The level of graffiti has increased.

10 December 2013: Scottish Canals advise they would welcome discussion with any potential user of the building to help to safeguard this important piece of heritage for future generations. Please note that the building is not suitable for residential purposes given the proximity of overhead pylons.

9 June 2014: External inspection finds further loss of render evident, but otherwise the building remains in much the same conditon as seen previously.

8 March 2016: Local planners note the Growing Places and Spaces (Woodside, Hamilton Hill, Speirs Locks) project has been awarded £1,330,000 from the Regeneration Capital Grant Fund 2016-17. The project aims to deliver a number of capital improvements which includes the restoration and refurbishment of the former canal keepers' house.

8 March 2017: Local planners note Full Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent for initial repairs and alterations (to enable temporary re-use of the site whilst longer-term use is development) has been conditionally approved (16/03149/DC & 16/03133/DC)

26 July 2019: Local planners advises conversion works are underway

Text description provided by the architects. An open square was expected.

A specific place was unexpected. What was to be expected.

A first observation.

Change is inevitable. Healthcare changes. The change in care already changed the campus so much. And the campus will change even more when more changes in care occur. What already changed on campus, was likely the right thing at the time. Likely. What will change to the campus tomorrow, will need to be the right thing too. Without question. But after that much change , it is clear that changes today cannot happen on their own. And no longer by their own.

One thing is sure: the campus used to be a real campus. With a specific identity, and yet so much different identities. Buildings vis-à- vis - not buildings. A garden. A park. Green.

And every building the size of a house. A large house, but still a house.With rooms. And bricks, and a sloped roof. The garden was filled with houses. A park with rooms.

Every house had, or still has, a specific element to define the house. The white loggia. Or almost every house. The loggia as a door between the building and the garden. As an open and welcoming doorway. A doorway to linger in. To stay.

Today, the campus still shows what the campus used to be. At the same time, the campus shows how the changes to the campus - the new buildings - do not seem to consider the campus to be a campus. Which the old buildings still try.

Anymore. Still not today - but maybe in a moment they can, unexpectedly.But this does not explain why those changes - the new buildings - do not consider what was already there. Those changes are there by their own. On their own. Nothing more.

If today, changes in care will change the campus again, it will not be without considering the campus as such. The idea of the campus will be considered - with care.

Not only by employing the new, but also by employing what is still there. The houses.

Jozef

Sint-Jozef is one of those houses. A nice house. A good house. But no longer a house which can still be a home for care today. So, Jozef is retiring. Surely, Jozef needs to make room. For a square. An open square. Open space for open activities. Care is allowed to desire open space for open activities today. The question is clear. The question is understood. Care changes, and Jozef cannot follow anymore.

But does this mean that Jozef needs to make room? Gone? Demolished? Is that the only way to make room for change?

A different question poses itself.

How can Jozef change to make room for changing expectations. It seems impossible. A house is not a square.

Yet the question should be thought through.

The idea of an encounter should be considered. What this means. What this requires. Is it a square that is needed - as such? Or is it a collection of desires, intentions and expectations to find a space outside, where encounters in its many different forms can and may take place?

If an encounter in its many different forms can and may take place - in a square as place - would the square be enough? Can it be more - different?

To dismantle Jozef into a square - in many different forms. A place in many different forms. Open, and yet still a house.

Maybe like this. No roof. Or at least, in some parts. In other parts, a roof of glass. Most of it open, then, except for a few rooms. Wunderkammers - rooms of wonder. A royal greenhouse. An enclosed garden. A house which gives a garden a home.

That simple, but that complex too.

A square was the question, a range of possibilities was answered with. Rooms that make room for different kinds of care. Without question.

Loggia

And then those beautiful loggia's. Again and again. Welcoming doorways. Not only of Jozef, but of all those houses.

But now, with Jozef, slightly bigger. Slightly higher. And even a second one. Jozef as Janus.Jozef as - open to all sides.

The idea of the loggia, in all those houses. As an open doorway between every house and the garden. The park. The campus. Between the intimate house and the open world.

And maybe even between the houses. Here and there a wandering loggia. Loggia's that wander, and give wandering meaning. And later on, perhaps in the new buildings too. Which will wander along.

Ambition

Care changes. Which inspires its context.But context is already there. And could inspire care.Jozef as an inspiration for a changing care.Care as an inspiration for a changing Jozef.

Jozef as an unexpected result. A changing care, but not without Jozef. With Jozef. As a context for a new care. As inspiration. And not as something to be left behind.

Unexpected, but basic. Without technology. Without comfort. But with possibilities. By reading the context differently, and giving a different context as result. Maybe just that, maybe just enough.

From a very basic reading to a future possibility of what care can be, although then again in an unexpected, different idea.

Taking roof off old structure to create an interesting outdoor space. Maybe a venue for events?

# data[].attributes.body
I really like the idea of keeping the old building without floors and walls (if it is structurally okay). We can see the slightly uneven, think old walls and the old roof structure.  It is as if we are respecting the old structure and treating it like a museum item instead of covering it with new internal walls and floors. Carrying of from that idea there could be a glass connecting to a new extension so as to keep the old structure separate

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.

Find out more about listing and our other designations at www.historicenvironment.scot/advice-and-support. You can contact us on 0131 668 8914 or at designations@hes.scot.
