“it is vital to support the MAP initiative to build a world leading creative centre for art, digital technology and sciences for Wales.” Ian Livingstone CBE1

“Creativity is a core strength of the UK which gives us an edge as a nation. Celebrated around the world, UK music, television, film, games, fashion, publishing, theatre, art, design, advertising, crafts and architecture is the bi-product of a long history of culture and counter culture. Modern Britain is an open, multi-cultural society, a rich talent pool where ideas stream from diverse free thinkers collaborating to create innovative new products and services. However, we are only as good as our last creative idea. If we want to be a nation of innovators we need to be constantly creative. To become creative, innovative and imaginative, we need to expose ourselves to new ideas. A vibrant arts and culture community is the easiest way to make this happen. We have to stop thinking about arts and culture as simply nice to have. They are just as important as well maintained roads and bridges. Arts and culture are infrastructure for the mind which promote creative endeavour. Hence it is vital to support the MAP initiative to build a world-leading creative centre for art, digital technology and sciences for Wales.”

Ian Livingstone CBE, Co-Founder Games Workshop, and Founder and Chairman The Livingstone Foundation1

MAMHILAD ARTS PROJECT VISION

MAMHILAD ARTS PROJECT MAP is a grassroots organisation of artists, designers and educators with affiliates now numbering over three hundred around the world, which aims to create a groundbreaking high-tech arts and science facility in South Wales. It will network the region to the rest of Wales, the UK and internationally, bringing job opportunities, innovation and economic prospects to the Capital Region.

LOCATION Listed as an underdeveloped employment site in South East Wales Economic Forum’s (SEWEF) Land Assessment Report 2011, the Mamhilad Park Estate is home to the Grade II* listed former British Nylon Spinners factory (1948), designed by Sir Percy Thomas. MAP wishes to transform this iconic modernist building into a showcase facility and digital hub: a home for the fusion of arts, science and technology placing the Capital Region and Wales on the worldwide stage by promoting cutting edge computer technology, innovation and Welsh culture. The site is already well placed as an opportunity generator with ideal road and rail links to the airport cities of Cardiff, Bristol, Birmingham and London to connect and power Welsh ambition and ability, and bring it to a global audience.

GLOBAL CONNECTIVITY By encouraging enterprise, MAP will help to reverse the downward spiral in active business enterprises since 2008 and address the anti-poverty and regeneration goals of the Torfaen County Borough Council and Welsh Assembly Government. MAP will create a museum, galleries, theatre complex and a creative hub of entrepreneurial arts and science businesses that would link to existing Welsh and international institutions and alumni. This worldwide draw for creative and arts industries, with inward investment, will regenerate Torfaen, engage the local community, provide skills, training and life-long learning, bringing wealth, tourism and support to the Capital Region’s economic goals, creative and cultural aspirations.

VALUE FOR WALESMAP wants to save and repurpose the whole of this imposing building for the people of Wales. It is the largest of its kind in the nation and celebrates the country’s postwar socialist utopian idealism. Thousands remember it as a good employer with a vibrant social scene at the sports and leisure facilities built for the employees. MAP feels any surrounding development should be built in sympathy with, and in an architectural style complementary to, the genre of the factory, echoing the optimism of the original building. MAP proposes an opportunity to build a twenty first century, forward thinking society, providing employment and drawing people to live there by using designs that embrace sustainability, with the goal of being a test-bed showcase of innovation and new technology for Wales. MAP wishes to look to Europe for funding and the international community for sponsorship, expecting this project to find cross party support at Cardiff, Westminster and Brussels with its exciting job opportunities and economic prospects for wealth creation for the region.

PROPOSED FUTURE USE

This document is an overview of the plans to revive the site. MAP has the intention of transforming the former British Nylon Spinners factory at Mamhilad into an international cultural centre. It will unite fine arts, such as painting and sculpture, photography and film, with theatre and music, to provide spaces for artists and creatives, and to become home to a new Welsh arts and science facility. There will be a “creative hub” for start-up enterprises closely associated with the arts and advanced technology, including interactive digital arts, games design, internet broadcasting, fashion and architecture. It will be both a community and a global hub, and finally an outstanding venue for the public at large, which will bring job creation and economic improvement to the area, while reaching out and helping fragile members of society.

GALLERIES AND THEATRE COMPLEXThe areas surrounding the imposing tower and those immediately to the back of it are meant to house the main gallery, theatre and cinema complex, as proposed by architect Paul Bretz. The design fully respects the original grid pattern of the supporting pillars in the halls, keeping their rhythm and ensuring the preservation of the original character, both inside and within the structure of the façade.

3

By creating an open air atrium, where large outdoor sculpture can be exhibited, and by using the resulting structure around it, a vast display area is available for the main non-permanent art exhibitions, whilst also providing a link between the gallery and the theatre blocks.The gallery, located at the back, has a floor space of 11,000 sqm, 7,000 of which constitute the actual exhibition space, while another 4,000 running along the atrium and the theatre form more galleries and a gift shop. The theatre plus its entrance foyer covers 3,575 sqm with a seating capacity of 800 to 1000 spectators, depending on the final design. The stage and backstage areas will be located in the tower. Above the theatre, the tower has three levels, two for cinemas and one for a bar and restaurant, with the rooftop becoming part of this recreational area.


Along the whole southern part of the main building, runs a 330x20 metres annex which MAP intends to use as the initial home for the creative hub. This space will be dedicated to the combined development of artistic creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship in the fields of design, architecture, fashion, fine arts, the music industry, performing arts, the film industry, digital gaming, communication technologies and software industries. The present building, which is in part on two floors, contains subdivisions of various sizes which can either be used directly by start-up companies or be adapted to individual needs. Some 150 diverse units could be accommodated in an initial phase, with companies requiring bigger spaces to be located in the industrial part, referred to in the Site and Surrounding Area section.

MAP plans to establish a visitors’ museum, retracing the historical and sociological evolution of the site and its neighbouring area. The building will contain permanent and temporary exhibition spaces where the different stages of the construction of the site and its operation can be shown, including a history of the development of the British nylon industry. Another section can be devoted to showing the technicalities of the nylon production process through the use of archive photographs, documentation, interactive media and film utilising two screening rooms.It is crucial here to outline the historical background of the site’s development through the presentation of visual and contextual information. Within the development of new man-made materials in the chemical industry, its technological advances have enhanced the everyday material lives of ordinary people by reducing the burden of manual labour and adding comfort, convenience and hygiene to the domestic environment. MAP will tell the story of this heritage and involve the public to create personal testimonies with those who worked at the factory and their descendants.At the height of production (early 1960s) it was estimated that around 15,000 people worked in Mamhilad on continuous shifts. This was a community of workers that not only worked together, but also socialised together. Working for BNS and latterly ICI was not just a job but a way of life.

HERITAGE MUSEUM

CENTRE FOR ARTS, DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCESBehind the museum and theatre complex, the remaining halls offer 17,250 sqm (footprint) on two, respectively three levels, for the connective centre. This facility is expected to grow in stages; a multi-phase architectural concept will be employed for the construction, provided the outline and the substance of the building have been safeguarded. Initially the centre would look to engage local schools through regular cutting edge research, and develop courses and programmes to offer students new enrichment experiences in computer coding, practical science, technology and arts on a holistic level, with globally networked stages to broadcast exhibitions and events. Our aim is to engage with the Education sector throughout Wales and across the EU; to provide short residential courses to complement education at all levels; to offer residencies with space for practical interactive learning and teaching opportunities; and to be a major networking point. Phase 1: Initially, the education centre will engage on a local level with a wide range of programmes: from classes on the Internet of Things, food production, and connecting new technologies to home farming.

Phase 2: During this time, research and planning will be done on the bigger project in engagement with mandatory education in Wales and beyond. Fast tracking to simplify ways of engagement with MAP for schools. Offering research experiences with the involvement of universities in research projects.

Phase 3: MAP has the objective of engaging the entire Welsh education system and interacting on a global platform. Classes and talks by those taking up the residencies within MAP will vary between all disciplines and bring an adaptable platform and added value and support to Welsh education and schools curricula.

MAP firmly believe that the surrounding land, which includes the administration buildings and the former Parke-Davis site (designed by Ivan Dale Owen, 1969), ought to be included in the master plan. It would permit the creation of an architect-researched, sustainably designed C21st housing site, a school (as required by Torfaen’s Local Development Plan), apartment buildings aligned with the existing administration buildings and terraced housing opposite the long elevation, in a style that would reflect the original architecture and make “Southway” into an urban ‘boulevard’. Facing the 330 metres long annex, which is to house the creative hub is another equally long road front consisting of terraced two-storey houses (of the same height as the other side), but also including shops and restaurant facilities. Companies that outgrow the space available to them in the creative hub could relocate to commercial and light industry facilities developed along the dual carriageway, which would, at the same time, provide a sound barrier between the road and the housing development. These plans also show the attention and thought given to the rest of the existing buildings and their surrounding areas, and would maintain the community feeling of the northern part of the site. Consequently the pattern of the administration buildings would be repeated by the construction of modern apartment blocks of the same height and based on the same relative floor spaces, as dictated by the first building lining the present road known as “Eastway”.It would be culturally inappropriate if such prestigious buildings were to be devalued by misguided surrounding architecture, detracting from the monumental and iconic creation of Sir Percy Thomas.

ARCHITECTURAL OVERVIEW

The following appraisal discusses the merits of Sir Percy Thomas’s design:“The factory was built by the architect Sir Percy Thomas in 1948. It is a complex of halls rigorously aligned on an East-West axis and dominated by a rectangular tower. The Tower is undeniably the site’s distinctive characteristic. But the modulated set of halls, built in one single phase, is also inseparable from the tower. The architecture is a wonderful example of the idea expressed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe that “form follows function”. One can imagine the nylon granules falling from the tower’s hoppers to become extruded threads worked in the adjacent horizontal axis formed by the length of the halls.Along the south side of the manufacturing halls, a one storey strip is aligned, though, it consists in part, of two floors. In the strip are integrated the “serving spaces” relative to the halls which, themselves, constitute the “served spaces”. Here again, the architect has beautifully translated another postulate of modern architecture enounced by Louis Kahn. Leaving green spaces between the halls and the “serving spaces” (workshops, changing rooms, etc) is a magnificent idea.In contrast, the constructions to the North of the halls which are additions (some monstrous, like the box in sheet metal) to the original buildings lack any kind of architectural value and, consequently, have to be demolished to emphasise the halls.The hall’s interior is rigorously organised through a juxtaposition of identical construction modules of roughly 7.60 m by 16.50m. Along the tower’s axis a carpet of 6 modules in width and 36 modules in length is spread covering approximately 30,000 sqm. These modules with a generous reach and well-chosen proportions are ideal for a variety of future uses. One module corresponds exactly to, for instance, an exhibition space, an artist’s workshop, a flat, a double row parking, a double class-room or even an open atrium.

ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE

“one of the most significant contributions to the built environment of modern, twentieth century Wales”‘’The Percy Thomas practice was responsible for designing a large number of structures in Wales throughout the twentieth century, for a range of functions that are part of the essential infrastructure of modern urban nations. The aim of this thesis is to show that the practice has made one of the most significant contributions to the built environment of modern, twentieth century Wales and that some of this work contributed to nation building. (...) An important commission for the practice was the factory for British Nylon Spinners at Pontypool in 1945. It was the sole source for all the nylon yarn produced in Britain. The factory is considered to be “a pioneering example of industrial architecture applied to a pioneering industry” and a “centre-piece of post-war reconstruction” (Cadw List Description) and was acclaimed at the time of its completion as one of the finest examples of modern industrial architecture.” Dr. Elaine Davey

Viewed in cross section and elevation, the set of halls consists of two whole, naturally lit storeys, raised, in a certain rhythm, to a third windowless floor. The three “humps” thus created constitute in unison with the tower the same dynamism that one finds in Ludwig van Beethoven’s fifth symphony (G, G, G, E-flat). This characteristic has to be kept absolutely in any future development. (...)The tower, both a functional and a highly identity giving feature, has to be preserved without any external alteration. On the other hand, its interior is admirably well suited for any vertical reorganisation, for instance, the setting up of a theatre stage and cinema screens.It is indisputable that the whole of the Mamhilad factory constitutes a major witness of the industrial architectural heritage of the twentieth century.” Paul Bretz2
