Brighton is a seaside resort in East Sussex, England. Archaeological evidence of settlement in the area dates back to the Bronze Age, Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. The ancient settlement of “Brighthelmstone” was documented in the Domesday Book (1086). The town’s importance grew in the Middle Ages as the Old Town developed, but it languished in the early modern period, affected by foreign attacks, storms, a suffering economy and a declining population. Brighton began to attract more visitors following improved road transport to London and becoming a boarding point for boats travelling to France.

THE CITY HISTORICAL FABRIC As Britain’s great seaside city, Brighton and Hove is a bold, vibrant and different place to be. The city has always welcomed visitors and today it is a place of possibilities, freedoms and diversity. As the author Keith Water house wrote, ‘without putting a finger on it you feel that Brighton is up to something.’ The city is always on the move. There are varied runs, rides, rallies, walks, parades, swims, paddles and sails; it’s the taking part that matters most. This is also a twenty-four hour city. As the last clubbers meander home, the first runners jog along the seafront. Brighton and hove is, similarly, a city for all seasons. Brighton festival, England’s largest and oldest arts festival, heralds spring. Come summer and not only the UK’s biggest Pride festival but also the legendary London to Brighton bike ride and, within the city, the Naked Bike Ride. The renowned Veteran Car Run, the world’s longest running motoring event, takes place in the autumn while the winter solstice is celebrated by the Burning the Clocks community event. From food to film and comedy to music, there are dozens of other festivals, celebrations, carnivals and parties spread throughout the year; some of the best are neighborhood based.

BLACK ROCK SITE HISTORICAL FABRIC
Black Rock was marking the Eastern boundary of Brighton until 1928.Also, it marks the point that the white chalk of the South Downs meets the sea. In 1818-19 the first development of Black Rock was established for gas-works, by the Brighton Gas Light and Coke Company. A tunnel was constructed in 1824 to bring up and provide the coal to the gas works. The tunnel was disused when the coal started to be landed at

Black Rock swimming pool.
Black Rock Lido Swimming Pool The Black Rock site was best known for its Art Deco Lido swimming pool which was built in 1934-36 designed by the Borough architect, David Edwards. The Lido was run down during the Second World War, and was closed in 1978 and then demolished in 1979. The site was served by the Volk’s Electric Railway invented by Magnus Volk in 1883 which was shortened due to the construction of Brighton Marina.

it was blocked at both ends by the town commissioners in 1850. Terraced housing started to appear to the East, and by 1828 the Abergavenny Arms had opened. From 1897 to 1920 the top of the cliff had eroded by 75 feet and many landslips followed causing the closure of the road leading to Rottingdean. In 1932 the cliffs were protected by the Undercliff Walk which halted the erosion and allowing for the construction of a Marine Drive Road between the Black Rock and Rottingdean
The original railway of 1883 was from the Aquarium to the old Chain Pier (shown as black line) In 1884 the line was extended from the Chain Pier to the Banjo Groyne (shown as green line). 1901 when the line was extended to Black Rock (shown in orange).

which led to the demolition of the pub. The other buildings on the top of the cliff were demolished for the Black Rock Tunnel
construction of the Marina road interchange in 1976.

BLACK ROCK SITE HISTORICAL FABRIC In 1971 construction was commenced by Taylor Woodrow Ltd in with the reclamation of a large area of land below the cliff. The wall of the inner harbour was finished in 1975, and on 1976 the last concrete ‘caisson’ of the massive outer breakwaters was put in position, enclosing 77 acres of sheltered water. The breakwaters are formed by 110 caissons, each 38 feet high, 40 feet in diameter and weighing 600 tons, which were lowered into position by an immense gantry crane; each one was then filled with a further 1,000 tons of concrete. The road interchange, which involved the demolition of Rifle Butt Road and other houses of the small Black Rock community, was completed in 1976. On 2 May 1977 the mayor, Peter Best, formally opened the lock-gates between the inner and outer harbours, and the public were admitted from 25 July 1978. The harbour was completed in January 1979, and the whole £41 million complex was Brighton Marina early days by John Leach
formally opened on 31 May 1979 by Queen Elizabeth II. (Tim Carder, 1990)
Brighton Marina The Brighton Marina was conceived by Henry Cohen and designed by Overton and Partners architects. The

plan was put to the council in October 1963 with costing of £9 million, the development was to be sited to the west of Duke’s Mound, and was to include 3,000 yacht berths, helicopter and hovercraft stations, flats, hotel, restaurant, shops, clubs, conference hall, swimming pool, bowling alley, theatre, cinemas, casino and carparks. Although the plan was given approval in principle in 1963, it aroused much opposition from the residents of Kemp Town. A new location was chosen to the east

at Black Rock, and in 1965 the revised £11 million plans were approved with a condition that no building projected above the cliffs. The Brighton Marina Act, authorising the harbour construction and associated works, was given royal assent in April 1968.

This diagram is showing that the cloud coverage varies a lot during the year, from overcast in winter and scattered, broken from April to October and some clear periods in May to September.
HOT This diagram is showing the temperature range for Brighton and it shows that Brighton’s temperature is majority cold with the exception from the period of May to September where the weather is considerably warm. Also it has a high temperature period in summer that can reach up to 30 degrees. High temperature period has to be considered in the design proposal in order to meet the building regulations approved document Part L2A in order to limit the effects of heat gains during this period. (Government, 2016, p. 17)
Majourty Humid
Over the whole year around the wind is coming from the south west reaching the speed of 17.5 metre per second. But in order to get a better understanding of wind behaviour on the site I have done the analysis on a season basis rather than on a full year. Also it is important to understand the wind in comparison to temperature in order to understand the wind has a negative or positive impact on the building.
Resonable low humidity
The highest speed wind is in the autumn season which is coming from the South, South West and North reaching 17.5 m/s while temperature reaches 19 degrees. While in the summer season, the wind is coming from South West and North which helps to reduce the high temperature of 30 degrees. Ahmed Ibrahim I-CROSSING-BLACK ROCK DIGITAL HUB -D6 23

Sun Exposure Analysis From the analysis carried out on the site a definition was developed using grasshopper and ladybug plug-ins to examine the heat impact on the building to develop the building massing that reduces the building heat gain. The first part of this analysis is by applying this algorithm on a simple box to illustrate the heat impact on the elevations. Followed by developing and testing the massing to achieve a better result by experimenting with massing sizes and orientation.

it is recommended to allow the low angle sun to penetrate the building south elevation in order to reduce artificial heating and lighting loads on the building. Ahmed Ibrahim I-CROSSING-BLACK ROCK DIGITAL HUB -D6  25 
MASSING DEVELOPMENT Step 2
Breaking down the mass into smaller buildings allows to get more natural light into the ground floor for public space as well as provide more increase in the building use efficiency and allowing for more east and west elevations. A

Sun Exposure Analysis
The step following from testing on a box is to break the mass into smaller buildings to allow for better lighting to get into the ground floor for public activities as well as increasing the building use efficiency and allowing for more east and west elevations.
By rotating the buildings toward the South the building massing allows for reduction to the North elevation and allowing for more East and West exposure. But yet the South West and South East elevation still have a considerably high solar exposure.
Ahmed Ibrahim I-CROSSING-BLACK ROCK DIGITAL HUB -D6  28 
MASSING DEVELOPMENT Step 4
By shifting the roof towards the south the massing then is providing a self-shading from the summer high sun and allowing for sun exposure for the low sun position in winter. The simple line diagram above showing the shift in the massing. Followed by a diagram to illustrate the massing solar heat gain during summer which is showing a reduction of heat exposure on the elevations facing south.
