PREFACE 0.0 Future Artefacts Archive
The building project augment on the notion of the ďŹ rst approach of National Reserve . At the ďŹ rst approach of National Reserve , the action aimed on recording the disappearing image of natural environment which has been replaced by the new estate development in Lea Valley. The Lea Valley Landscape protection act 1966 has been challenged by the housing issues in London and some areas has started being given out to the estate development. The boundary markers were proposed to be planted throughout the Lea Valley area to record and document the potential disappearing landscape, such as marshland, agriculture farms, forests. The images and documentation facilitated the emergence of the Future Artefacts which is the representation of those disappeared landscape in the future. Thus, the second approach of National Reserve introduces an archive for storing these future artefacts. National Trust, EnďŹ eld Council and Tottenham Hale communities are the proposed shareholders to be served by this Future Artefacts Archive. The concept of the building is enlarging the documented future artefacts into architectural scale and translating the objects into the form of the building allowing visitors have more intimate engagement with this preserved landscape memory.
0.1 Boundary Marker / Landscape Memory Recorder (Input)
0.2 Creating Future Archaeological Artefacts (Output)
i. Source The sources are mostly images captured by the boundary markers. Micro ecology, detected artefacts,humanbeings activites, texture of plants will be the main objects in the images
ii. 2D to 3D Crafting In the second phase, images will be sculptured out from 2D to 3D. The picture demontrates how artist Bert Simons extruded the digital images from the portrait photos and challenge the way how we can preserve the memory in our mind.
iii. Artefacts Documenting Different from the conventional archaeological artefacts discovered through excavation, the future artefacts require post-dicovery sculpturinf to materialise the recorded images into tangible form. Nevertheless, the future artefacts will be documented into the identical archaeology data system to preserve the artefacts for the future.
iv. Artefacts Displaying The future artefacts translates the image of our surrounded environment into a obtainable objects which can be stored and exhibited by museums and institutions. Thus, the circulation of the future artefacts will be focus on curating and archiving simultaneously.

BUILDING FORMS, SYSTEMS AND PLANNING
1. BUILDING FORMS, SYSTEMS AND PLANNING 1.0 Brief
Lea Valley Walk & Camden Plant Sand Supply The site of the building project is proposed at a brownfield area 2.3 mile away from the Tottenham Hale Railway Station, which situated between the Banbury Reservoir and the William Girling Reservoir in north-east London. The existing condition of the site is used as a gravel and construction waste recycling field. The east part of the site is the residential area and commercial area where obtains wholesale store or displaying room of Costco, Audi, PC World. The west side of the site is mostly covered with industrial facilities. The southern side of the site connects to the North Circular Motorway which links the site to the main towns and traffic network. Adjacent to the site, behind the motorway at the south, a new estate development (f,g,) has been designated on the land which represent the sprawling of the East London Regenerating movement starting from Olympic Park development implemented in 2012. This identify the exclusive location of the site where situated on the junction of different urban areas, which we can argue the site represent the encountering point of the clash between built environment and natural context in Lea Valley area. As the result, locating Future Artefacts Archives represents as a buoy to manifest how to reserve the disappearing landscape memory in our modern epoch. Appro.

1.01 Site Context Master Planning / The Future Artefacts Archive is situated on an undesignated area adjacent to the existing wasted aggregates recycling field (north). In order to connect the greenery and create a continuous landscape for the people who would like to do some activities for leisure, the open space at the ground level is covered with grass and the boundary of the site are formed with trees to make the access of the site easier but softly distinguish the adjacency between surrounding and the site. There are two small bridges are designed for connecting bounds along with rivers, the bridge on the north-west side of the building interlink the building and the west side of the canal River Lea Navigation, the bridge on the east side is a flyover in order to connect the visitors from the east side of River Lea to the main entrance of the building, the flyover allows the existing route of aggregates delivery remained the same and link to the North Circular efficiently. pic a.
1.01-a. General Site Context
Master Plan Scale : 1/400
The site of the project is next to the east side of EcoPark Waste Recycling Industrial Area and adjacent to the warehouses and commercial centre which includes Costco, Retail shop of car companies. The River Lea and Navigation distinctively define the west and east edge of the site, the south side of closely attached to the North Circular Highway of London which is a great convenience to the waste and aggregate delivery for the local industry. The buffer between site and industrial areas are covered significantly with greenery which is an opportunity to create soft boundary between site and the existing landscape.

1.02 Hybrid Mountain / Cave Creation in between Nature and Artificiality The building is proposed as a pile of cavernous spaces which embrace the quality of natural caves (pic 1.02-01.) and artificial spaces (pic 1.02-02.) to provide a civic building for archiving and exhibiting the recorded documents of boundary markers simultaneously. The pile of cavernous spaces gives the building project an opportunity to design the structure like a mountain. The mountain is structured by three essential materials to elevate the spaces, which are rammed earth, concrete and weathering steel. The discussion about the nature and artificiality of the mountain will be based on the structural performance, interior microclimate performance and curated openings for ventilation and light conducting. The realisation this mountain focuses on the questioning how an architecture pic 1.102-01 designed as like a mountain but is operated as a functional building.

2.01-1 Material Application / Performance
01. Casting Rocks of Artificial Mountain Rammed Earth
02. Roofing the Caves Pneumatic Concrete
The main structure of the building will be casted rammed earth. However, because of the limistation of material, the bulding cannot fully supported by the rammed earth structure.
The pneumatic concrete will be put in after the rammed earth structure has casted on each level of building. The hollow spherical form of the concrete can reached to the half floor to 1 floor high above there structure edge.
Rammed earth is a fast dry material that formworks can be rmoved immediately after the ramming process.
03. Envelope Space Between Caves Prefabricated Weathering Steel
The envelope spaces are installed to connect different spaces in the building. The structure of it is concrete strip with weathering steel panels covered on the surface. The envelope spaces are also a secondary structure to support bearing of the concrete shell .
2.01-2 Material Application / Performance
04. Grid Steel Panels
05. Adventure Infrastructures
06. Hydroscopic Material
Grid steel panels are chosen as the material of the oor, which allow maintennce work to be more easier. The grid steel panel passage are lifte to accommodate sophisiticated topography in the cave space.in the cave space
The infrastructure for adventure activities are constructed on the outdoor space. The structures are lightly attached on the building, the joint for installing the infrastructure will be installed in the pre-cast stage of the construction work.
Due to the spaces are designed to be the archive for future artefacts, hydroscopic insulation will be applied in these spaces to regulate the condition of the space.
2.02-1 Construction Method Application / Study on Plaster Model / From Plaster Model to Real Materials Study on Plaster Model - Partitionally Constructing Mountain The construction work of the archive building will be divided into units. The model shows the geometrical relationship different level of the individual unit. The formation of the mountain-like building will be similar to the plaster model.
Plaster Model
The casted plaster model used two kind of negative model to ďŹ nd the shape of the cave. The casting process is also a epxloration to ďŹ nd the shape of caves and generate the space for people can habitate inside in architecture scale.
From Plaster Model to Real Rammed Earth Structure The strategy to translate the plaster cave model to real architectural structure is to contourising the volume. In the architectural scale, the difference of each contour will be 25 cm which is the best depth to cast the individual layer of rammed earth architecture.

3.00 General Environmental Strategy / Interior Climate Setting
Air Temperature
1. Comparing with other buildings made with timber or other material apart from rammed earth, earthen architecture is more stable in the performance of temperature comparing inside and outside the building.
Time of Day Outdoor Temperature Light Timber-Framed Building Heavy Building with External Insulation Heavy Building Set into and Partially Covered with Earth
2. Ideal Thermal Mass Rammed earth has very good performance in thermal mass. The quality allows some of spaces (see below, the 1st & 3rd kind of space) in the Future Artefacts Archives need to consume less energy to reach to the target condition in humidity and temperature. 2.Dealing with Cave-like Environment Rammed earth architecture like this archive still needs to deal with the inuence of English weather from general enevironmental condition. Especailly in the winter, cold and wet weather will makes interior similar due to the main rammed earth structure. As the result, the environment of the building will be partially operated by active environmental control system to reach to the ideal environmental target. The conditions is concluded into three kind of settings. Condition 01. Archive Climate

1. The geometrical feature of the space could casue a huge echo under the inflated concrete dome. Based on the acoustic design principle, the surface of the3 dimensional curverture roof can be divided into absorption face and reflection surface. 2. The acoustic design principle is used to design the theatrical space. Even though the function of the building is not theatre, however, it is important to create a comfortable and quiet environment when people wandering around the gallery space. 3. The reflection direction demonstrates how users under the roof can be affected by the reflected sound. The advantage of rammed earth building is create a sound proof environment. The rough surface also helps to diffuse the intercrossing voic when people make noise. 4. The main acoustic environment creation of the building is located on the 2Fwhich is a media room to display the recorded landscape images recorded by boundary markers all over London. 5. The size of the media room is farely small, as the result, in a sound reflection environment, sound will be bouncing between the 3 dimentional curverture wall. The curtain is installed in the room to absorb the sound perfectly.

4.01 Enfield Planning Authority Site of Future Artefacts Archive
Current Site Ownership
The site is located in the area where is currently operated by Camden Environmental company. The company has been using the whole area including part of the site of this project as an aggregate recycling field. In 2017, Mayor of London publish Policy SI 10 Aggregates in the draft of new London plan, the plan emphasises on the sustainable management of aggregate deposition and recycling of the stored of aggregates and soil waste. As the result, Camden Environment is willing to join the development of the site following by promoting the sustainable using of soil and aggregates.
Primary Client Enfield Council will be Enfield Council will be the primary sponsor for the funding and the development of Future Artefacts Archive. Enfield Council is currently leading the Meridian Water Development next to the site. The site is currently regarded as a green field in the proposal of the development. However, the proposal doesn t positively respond to the current occupation of Camden Environmental. The area has the potential to be opened up and extend the Meridian Water programme for more housing and community facilities if council is able to construct the relationship with local industry. The project will be regarded as a bridging project to connect the local industrial community and authority, hence, create a more harmonious living environment without asking industrial community move out of the space.
Primary Development Authority
Lea Valley Park Authority have generated a series of planning policies based on the Lea Valley Reginal Park Act published in 1966. The proposal of the building project has to be proposed to the authority to the initial consultation. The authority rrequires certain infrastructure regeneration following with new developed plan
Meridian Water Development
Core Policy 38 (Meridian Water) Based on the evidence of initial growth scenarios in the Meridian Water Place Shaping Priority Area (see boundary in Map 9.3 of the Core Strategy), the objectives of new development will be to create a new community by 2026 with up to 5,000 new homes, 1,500 new jobs and all the necessary infrastructure to support the community and attract families and new employers to the area, including: • Two new two form entry primary schools, a new secondary school (including Sixth Form), a new local centre offering a new health facility, a library, community rooms, a police presence and local shops (see Core Policies 7, 8 and 17); • Approximately 80% of the area should comprise a mix of residential, retail, community uses and open spaces, with 20% of the area as revitalised employment uses, integrated into the wider development; • High quality public realm and development of an exemplar quality at a human scale with buildings that are flexible, adaptable and responsive to the environment in which they sit; • A reduction in flood risk through the appropriate location, layout and design of new development and mix of land uses; • A development that pioneers new environmental technologies. New housing will aspire to achieve the greatest levels of energy-efficiency, incorporating renewable power and using locally produced energy; •Higher density development close to Angel Road station and in waterfront locations; •New development will maximise the opportunities offered by the waterfront location, with routes and spaces along the water edge; •A new spine running through the area, connecting all parts of Meridian Water, linking new and existing communities, the station and the Lee Valley Regional Park; •Improved connectivity, both north-south and east-west; • Integration with immediately adjacent employment areas, in particular Harbet Road Estate, where there is an opportunity to upgrade employment uses on the western fringe to complete transformation in the Meridian Water area; • A mix of housing types, sizes and tenures and affordable homes to support a new sustainable community, which will enable residents to remain in the community throughout their lifetimes; • New open space at the heart of the new community, designed to connect the currently disjointed part of the Lee Valley Regional Park either side of the North Circular Road; A co-ordinated strategy to managing flood risk in accordance with Core Policy 28 and a co-ordinated strategy for the decommissioning of gas holders and other contaminated land in the area in line with Core Policy 32; Restoration of the waterways which run through the development site as part of an integrated approach to water management in Meridian Water; and Development should achieve efficiency target of 105 l per person per day in line with the Code for Sustainable Homes. Core Policies 11 and 12 identify the need for new recreation, leisure, culture and arts facilities in Meridian Water. Core Policy 14 (Safeguarding Strategic Industrial Locations) and Core Policy 15 (Locally Significant Industrial Sites) set out the Council s approach to the safeguarding of employment land within the area. Core Policy 22 (Delivering Sustainable Waste Management) states that opportunities for local energy provision to support new development at Meridian Water will be explored. Core Policy 29 (Flood Management Infrastructure) states that opportunities for removal of culverts, river restoration and naturalisation should be considered as part of any development adjacent to a watercourse. Innovative responses to flood risk will be encouraged and explored as part of the transformation of Meridian Water and Central Leeside. Core Policy 34 (Parks, Playing Fields and Open Spaces) requires the creation of new open space at Central Leeside as part of the regeneration of Meridian Water and which provides effective links to the Lee Valley Regional Park. Core Policy 35 (Lee Valley Regional Park and Waterways) confirms that the Council will work with the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, British Waterways, riparian owners, the Environment Agency and other partners to improve access to the Lee Valley Regional Park.

Funding FLow
The flow diagram demonstrates how the proposal of Future Artefacts Archive is majorly funded by the Enfield Council under the Meridian Water Programme. The funding of the project will also be coming from the Mayor of London (Greater London Authority) under the budget of the London s housing planning project. The funding also comes from the local waste recycling industrial community in order to promote the industry to the society. The project could raise the land value of the site if it can open up the opportunity to expand the development of Meridian Water Programme. The profit will be gained by the land owner as investment.
2.
Community Benefit
The site has been blocked in the aggregate field without being used. The development of the project will open up the boundary with local residential community and provide a new open field to do leisure activities. The project provides a community facility to participate in the preservation of landscape. The residence of the Meridian Water would be able to use the facility for leisure in the future. The facility also demonstrate the quality of soil recycling work, which positively promote the significance role of the aggregate recycling field.
