<\/div>\n\n\u2018The [Un]Seen City\u2019 looks at the mounting\u00a0surveillance of cities and the affect this is having on\u00a0its inhabitants and the built urban fabric. Having\u00a0been designated European Capital of Culture in\u00a02013, Marseille has seen a wave of surveillance\u00a0cameras being installed across the city with some\u00a01,800 cameras currently in place. Although part\u00a0of a programme to radically decrease Marseille\u2019s\u00a0gangland violence and crime, the cameras have also\u00a0impacted Marseille\u2019s street art culture and its noncriminal\u00a0population.

<\/div>\n\nWith an ongoing programme of citywide\u00a0surveillance, I\u2019m interested in how the city\u00a0is continuously monitored and the changing\u00a0relationships between the built environment and\u00a0its inhabitants. \u2018Surveillance systems could be used\u00a0as a means of architectural research with footage\u00a0revealing how people truly utilise their urban\u00a0spaces.\u2019 What effect can this have on how we design\u00a0our cities masterplans and urban spaces?<\/h6>\n<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n![\"Final_Portfolio_2016_SHS](\"https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Final_Portfolio_2016_SHS-7-copy.jpg\")

Having used Marseille\u2019s own CCTV to\u00a0monitor its citizens, I set about mapping the cities\u00a0cameras and subsequent blind spots and planning\u00a0unseen routes through the city. These Marseille\u00a0\u2018corridors\u2019 allowed me to visit the city and its\u00a0landmarks undetected and unseen, discovering\u00a0along the way secluded spaces that offer privacy\u00a0and sanctuary from the cities prying eyes.<\/h6>\nHaving journeyed through the\u00a0unresolved city, utilising the newly created \u2018corridors\u2019\u00a0and thereby avoiding Marseilles CCTV network, the\u00a0site for a new music and cultural centre was chosen\u00a0\u2013 hidden from view and yet a stone-throw from the\u00a0cities CCTV monitoring headquarters. Seeking to\u00a0re-associate Marseille\u2019s \u2018unwanted\u2019 with their city,\u00a0the centre will facilitate the cities alienated musical\u00a0and artistic heritage and respond to the ambiguous\u00a0and often unresolved qualities of CCTV, through the\u00a0use of dense scaffolding \u2013 blurring boundaries and\u00a0views. Housing a number of recording studios and\u00a0theatres as well as sporting facilities (such as rock\u00a0climbing, parkour and basketball) and a cinema,\u00a0the centre provides \u00a0an open access venue for the people of Marseille.<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n![\"Final_Portfolio_2016_SHS](\"https:\/\/unit-21.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Final_Portfolio_2016_SHS-11-copy.jpg\")
