Electric Lighting in Architecture 7111AR/1 Urban Theory Thomas Chuter

Kevin Lynch is undoubtebly one of the most influential urbanists of recent times, with his “Five Elements of a City” pervasive in discussions of urban planning. This paper looks at these principles and how they were received. One of the primary aspects covered is how Lynch himself grew disenfranchised with the reaction to his own work, in particular the transformation of his elements into mere buzzwords.

Local Stone In Architecture A look at the History and future of using locally sourced stone, focusing on the use of sandstone in Liverpool. By Thomas Chuter

With much focus on the sculpting of shadows in architecture, there is much less on the opposite- how artificial lighting can be used to conjure architecture itself. This paper offers an introduction to electric lighting with a basic history, before explaining the basic principles of lighting and examples of use. As one of the best examples of the use of lighting to form architecture, the paper then looks at how Neon was used to radically alter the urban environment in notable cities through the twentieth century.

Word Count: 9,717

A specialist study of ten thousand words looking at the history of using local stone in construction. Many of history’s iconic buildings have been built using local stone, with stone being one of the most widely used materials in architecture. Despite this, its popularity has waned dramatically over the last century. This paper uses Liverpool as a case study to investigate how the local stone was used and why? Following this, the paper then looks at contemporary uses of stone in architecture before attempting to extrapolate this to assess the future possibilities of the material. 2020 Portfolio Tom Chuter

MA Year 2 Semester 1 Urban Design ReportDingle Toxteth City Centre

The area designated for research and development consists of much of The Dingle area of Liverpool. An inner city area lying between Toxteth to the East and the River Mersey to its West, the area begins just South of Upper Parliament Street- considered the Southern boundary of the city centre. Created as the city expanded outwards towards the end of the 19th Century due to the influx of Irish and Welsh immigrants, The Dingle (and encompassed section of the Liverpool Docks) has changed drastically over the last two centuries. From rural beginnings as Toxteth Park, the area was cleared and packed with row upon row of terraces. Following the second world war, slum clearance measures have involved demolishing most of those homes, to be replaced with cul-de-sacs of semi-detacheds or abandoned to vacancy. Sadly much of the area is currently among the poorest in the city, with comparatively high crime rates and low employment. The Demographic data suggests there is a real need for improvement in the area- though it is important to avoid gentrification which would be terminal for the established communities already settled there. 2

This proposal strives to improve the currently poor levels of health and fitness in the Dingle. The proposal is separated into three individual phasesall contributing towards improved health. Phases one and two provide active and mental health at the bottom of the existing cliff face and along the waterfront. Phase one provides a range of social venues and sporting activities within the existing brick warehouses as well as residential accommodation. A ferry terminal situated on the promenade offers transport to and from the site towards the Wirral. Phase two further improves connectivity and transport to the local area with a new tramline and improved train station. The tramline is situated within a flexible linear park that constantly changes throughout the year. The park contains many pods of various sizes and uses which can be relocated by several cranes located along the landscape. This allows the park to alter, making space for various activities such as festivals and venues. Phase three is situated at the top of the cliff, previously being difficult to reach from the dock level. To overcome this a lift offers access up to phase three, connecting the residential district to the revived docks. Phase three focusses 4

on the local community and improving eating habits. An Urban Farm creates a place for the residents to grow their own fruit and vegetables. A secondary allotment area dedicated to the primary school offers education to the younger population, explaining the importance of healthy eating habits. Demolition has been avoided where possible, being limited to situations where doing otherwise would severely inhibit the realisation of the scheme. The majority of said work is dismantling the steel frame warehouse, mill and car showrooms, meaning wastage is kept to a relatively small amount given the scale of proposed work.

Reusing the warehouses to create a social environment; bars, restaurants, music venues, businesses. Reintroducing the existing docks by excavating the ground where they once sat. Offering a combined use of social space, greenery, and water between the existing structures.

Reviving the existing promenade by removing the road and car parking, allowing for bleed out space for the buildings. This will generate a better connection between the buildings and the River Mersey. The promenade will be connect to the proposed routes, tramlines and the train station.

A green route will travel alongside the cliff face and existing train station. This will encourage visitors from both directions, including the popular Baltic Triangle. The green route will encourage healthier, active lifestyles through walking and cycling.

The separation of the high and low land levels will be overcome by connecting the bottom of Harlow Street on the upper level to the revived docks on the lower. An external lift will allow access up connecting to raised walkway, of which will travel over the existing train lines.

In order to promote healthy eating to enhance healthy living, an urban farm is to be proposed. Such a facility would be best suited within the residential area in order to tie it into the local community. From this central location, outreach programmes should promote the inclusion of nearby residents.

A cycle path alongside the existing roads will link Princes Park to the docks. Along the route, small sport and fitness interventions such as gym equipment will lead downhill towards the large intervention created at the waterfront.

The plan outlines half of phases one and two, the social area of phase one and the top half of the linear park of phase two. The existing brick warehouses have been utilised offering a range of social venues, art and music galleries and studios, restaurants, bars, pubs, clubs, a museum, and a brewery. The ground floor of each warehouse has been dedicated to commercial, social activity, whereas the first-floor levels have been allocated to residential use; this allows for many new residents to live in the area. Various sections of each warehouse are to be remodelled and glazed, allowing for a better connection between each linear element, the river Mersey and promenade, the outdoor social spaces between the warehouses and the linear park. The existing car parking between the warehouses has been re-landscaped offering outdoor social activity; boat hire along the river, art sculptures, music shows as well as reed beds and planting. A new ferry terminal allows for great transportation between the site to the Wirral, with the aquarium situated beside Brunswick Dock being a large, statement building for the area. 8

The plan outlines the bottom half of the linear park and the sporting area for phase one of the masterplan. Like the social venues, the existing warehouses have been utilised and reused, the only retained facility being the existing trampolining centre. This zone acts as the main active area of the scheme, improving physical health and fitness. Many indoor and outdoor sporting activities are available for all ages and different weather conditions. With the removal of the existing go-karting warehouse the site has become more open, allowing for the linear park of phase two to blend into the sporting spaces. This is a key area of the masterplan as the lift allows each of the three phases to become connected, allowing a route between the upper level of the cliff and the botanical gardens to the lower level of cliff. The openness between the linear park and the sporting venues encourages movement towards the river Mersey with its views through the glazed link and into the inner park between the warehouses.

alter throughout the year. To do this the fixed cranes on site will be able to move the modules to different positions, this would allow for large festivals to take place near Liverpool city centre. One potential use for the flexible landscape could be to house Creamfields festival. The pods will contain various uses such as rented studios, bike shops and dance studios. The main use of the pods will be available as rented accommodation, this will allow visitors to the area to stay for several nights. The sporting venues can be used for a variety of competition events, such as a Youth Olympics for competitive swimming. The pods will offer the required accommodation for athletes or festival goers that need to remain nearby to the site for a variety of days.

As part of the linear park design the existing, dilapidated Brunswick train station has been redesigned. The new tramlines will further improve the transport and connections to the local area offering easy access right along Liverpool’s lengthy waterfront. The linear park has been designed to be flexible, allowing the landscape to constantly 10

A key tenet of the masterplan was to increase the health and well-being of the area through a multiprogrammed approach involving activity, social and the promotion of healthy eating. An urban farm located centrally between the community buildings in the neighbourhood will strive to educate residents in urban agriculture, as well as provide cheaper access to healthy food, to improve the diets of the inner-city. The arrangement of this farm should produce a wide variety of food for export and local consumption, whilst contributing employment and education to those same people. The Aquaponics labs along the street will also provide a centre for research to be linked with the universities, furthering academia in the city. A second allotment area is to be provided to the school for educational use, with the rest of the park improved to be a more enticing area for local use. 12

A key tenet of the masterplan was to increase the health and wellbeing of the area through a multi-pronged approach involving activity, social and the promotion of healthy eating. Arguably the most considerable part of this aspect is the Urban Farm as diet has such a vital effect on an individual’s health. Dingle, like many impoverished areas across the country suffers from significantly above-average rates of preventable chronic illnesses which diminish both the expected length and quality of life. Furthermore, a poor diet can have substantial ramifications in a developing child. A hungry or malnourished childsomething increasingly common, even in this country- performs noticeably worse in school. This obviously affects outcomes later in life and so is an issue worth addressing as a social issue rather than just that of health. The community farm would therefore work in conjunction with the Granby Toxteth Development Trust to provide fresh produce to supplement the requirements of those who require it. The costs of this would be offset by commercial production of organic crops aimed for purchase by both culinary establishments and those residents who can afford it. 26

A Healthy Diet

The Importance of Diet

With poor diet now resulting in more deaths than even smoking, in the UK, it is a crucial issue in dire need of addressing. Currently, 14% of deaths in the UK can be attributed to poor diet- a proportion growing exponentially. In addition to those who die as a result of diet afflicted causes, an even larger number of people live with chronic illnesses. It is estimated that, without drastic improvement, around 50% of children born each year will suffer from obesity as a result of diet by the age of 65. It is important to stress that many of those suffering with obesity are, themselves, malnourished; rarely consuming enough vitamins or other nutritional requirements. The cost of the butterfly effect associated with malnutrition in wider society is difficult to calculate, but is estimated to cost the NHS £6billion per year. A 2014 study estimated the total cost to be around £27 billion per year (around £890 per taxpayer), though this number is set to rise each year. This is a problem which would be far cheaper and effective to treat at source.

Why do People have Poor Diets? Overconsumption of Processed Food and Under consumption of Healthy Food - Fast Food is increasingly prevalent. - These outlets account for a quarter of all food shops in 2019. - Junk food companies in the UK spend £143 mil a year on advertising– 30x the £5 mil spent on healthy eating campaigns.

Growing Locally On an environmental level, another issue is the embodied carbon footprint attributed to the air miles of much of the food we eat. With food commonly being flown from the other side of the world in order to negate seasonal produce, it is important that we look to grow more food locally.

Site Parti Diagram

Transforming an eyesore into a landmark The tower at the core of this site is currently an eyesore, however this scheme aimed to utilise transform it into a prominent, iconic landmark. The first steps were to remove alternate floor plates, allowing the tower to be converted into a vertical farm, with natural light able to penetrate deeper into the structure.

Developing the Chrysalis In removing half of the floor plates, the lateral load capacity of the structure is to be reduced. Combined with the increase in dead-load due to the planters, reinforcement is therefore required. This is to be remedied with the insertion of a steel frame to increase the rigidity of both the tower and designated seed store. The frame also allows for easier redesign of the existing envelope to remove the current eye-sore. Benefits of this chrysalis include: • Increase the rigidity of the structure. • Increase floor plan size to increase usable space. • Provide easily accessible space for the large quantity of new services.

Enhance the visual qualities of an existing, prominent eyesore into a more attractive landmark to act as a centrepiece for the development. Create a “strategy” design which could be reused in different locations should this farm be seen as successful. This is part of the wider thesis brief which hopes to use this proposal as an experiment for a wider roll out of urban farming for healthcare purposes around the country. The idea is that such a technique could be directly applied to almost any existing building so wasted urban fabric can be re-purposed into urban farms.

Farming is incredibly water-intensive however, in this location, the amount and frequency of rainfall mean rainwater collection is an extremely feasible way to reduce this impact.

The 19 vertical wind turbines adjacent to the site would theoretically generate an average of 8.6MWhrs per day- roughly equivalent to the power used by 130 households. Due to the prominent position of the site, the actual power generated is likely to be higher, with this data based on the forecast for the wider city. Due to its location on the coast, Liverpool is in an advantageous position for utilising wind power, with a relatively constant amount of wind throughout the year ensuring a steady supply of power generation.

MA Year 2 Semester 1 Live Project

Project Introduction This scheme was initiated in reaction to changing regulations reducing current operations at Sefton Local Authority’s emergency housing shelters to almost zero as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic. As such, the Council has sought urgent help in designing a way to increase capacity once again. This live project sought to provide a solution to these issues for two of their sites with minimal budget available. As such, proposals aimed to be made of cheap but long-lasting materials requiring minimal skilled labour or physical alterations to the buildings. How Covid has affected their work? With social distancing guidelines restricting occupancy to one individual per room (in contrast to previous where six beds offered a dormitorystyle accommodation), this creates a requirement for partitioning the spaces in order to prevent cross-inhalation of air in a bid to decrease risk of viral spread. As a result, the pre-existing conditions are no longer usable, resulting in the organisations having to pay for B&B, hostel or hotel rooms for those who present themselves due to the government’s drive to prevent rough sleeping during the pandemic (Ministry of Housing, 2020) which is not affordable in the long-run. 46

As such the units proposed here feature a separated bunk bed design where self-contained pods overlap to save space.

MA Year 1 Semester 2 Affordable Housing

With Liverpool set to require at least additional fourteen thousand homes per annum in order to meet demand, it is imperative that large scale housing schemes are proposed for the city region. The majority of these homes are needed by first time buyers as an initial step on the property ladder and, as such, should be affordable. Construction by private developers require significant profits to be deemed worthwhile undertaking, reducing the affordability of such schemes, however a council-led scheme with no such demands, would be able to focus on creating the highest quality project for a budget. As such, this proposal aims to utilise land the council already owns for a high-density, highquality residential development. A unique aspect of the site’s location is the ability to see seven religious buildings encompassing five denominations/ religions, reflective of the diversity of the population in the area. Though most of these views are partially obscured, both the Welsh Presbytarian Church and Liverpool Cathedral dominate the South-Western and Western skyline. As such these views inform the layout of the proposal, with the confluence of both sight lines combined with the axis formed by the old street layout sculpting the orientations. 54

Food Waste Disposal

Rooftop Farm

Each block has access to bike stores to encourage the use of non-fossil fuelled transport. In combination with good transport links (a bus stop is located immediately outside the perimeter of the site and Lime Street Station is a twenty minute walk)and easy access to either the city centre or South Liverpool, this provision aims to encourage a more environmentally sustainable lifestyle.

Concealing parking underneath a podium avoids sacrificing valuable open space for the necessary ancillary space associated with cars. This podium then provides greenery for the area, as well as a space for families to use. Electrical charging points will also encourage the use of non-fossil fuelled vehicles.

In order to further reduce dependence on fossil fuel sourced energy, the natural gas released during composting can be extracted and used as an alternative energy source. This may prove useful in the winter when solar energy is severely reduced. Though biomass and natural gas do release carbon when burned, they offer a much smaller carbon lag as it had only be removed from the atmosphere recently, meaning it is nowhere near as harmful as fossil fuels which release chemicals stored for millions of years. Essentially biomass is close to carbon neutral.

Facilities to dispose of food waste environmentally through composting are to be integrated into the scheme. Once mulched, this will be used as an organic compost for the garden, adding nutrients to the soil, without the foul odour associated with other natural fertiliser. This will reduce the amount of waste generated by the occupants.

Located on the rooftop of Blocks D+E, the garden is secured by the building, as well as being in a prominent position which receives sunlight the entire year. This allows crops to grow better than at ground level where they may be overshadowed. The issue of increased wind due to prominence is mitigated by the boundary and fruit walls. A diverse range of crops and herbs are growable, with broadened potential due to the fruit walls, allowing for a large selection of options- some of which are listed as part of the planting section.

Loading and unloading for the shops will be possible through a loading area down Upper Hampton Street to separate the ancillary functions from family areas.

Liverpool receives few hours of direct sunlight throughout the year, though the potential for solar energy in Summer is much higher due to its Northern latitude. PV Panels are still able to generate energy on overcast days, but function at between 10-25% output (considered in these figures). With an average daytime of 18 hours, June has the highest potential, though May tends to receive more hours of sunlight per day on average at 7. December tends to receive the shortest amount of sunlight, with it also having the shortest days at 8 hours with barely 1hr 30 of sunlight.

Solar has the potential to provide a significant proportion of the scheme’s energy requirements around the summer months at expected occupancy levels90% in May- though this is significantly reduced throughout the winter where external sources will have to be relied upon- 27% in December. Despite this, annually the scheme has the potential for 60% of energy to be generated by solar. At maximum occupancy this proportion is severely reduced, providing only 18% of required energy. Regardless, generation of approximately 2,508 KWh/day would be a significant reduction in the environmental impact of the scheme.

MA Year 1 Semester 2 Structure & Facade Study

A cross-laminated timber frame is to be erected and clad in brick cladding. This will be in the form of a single leaf of masonry as brick slips are currently banned in the city due to issues with a different project on Hope Street. The structure is to be supported by strip foundations, with the strip supporting both the external walls and internal columns. This reduces the material needed in comparison to a raft foundationwith environmentally damaging concrete avoided as much as possible in this proposal. 74 34

MA Year 1 Semester 2 Interior Study

> Lighting A combination of all three forms of lighting are to be employed in the apartment, using both natural and artificial sources. Spotlights and daylight are to provide ambient lighting, with the adjustable spotlights enabling their use as task lighting. The pendent lighting is to offer both task and feature lighting, illuminating the counter for preparation and cooking, while also implying a division of space between the utility of the kitchen and leisure of the lounge with feature lighting. Key: Natural Lighting (Summer) Natural Lighting (Winter)

This study illustrates in greater detail, the standard one-bedroom apartment used throughout the scheme. 125 out of the 151 one-bedroom residences use this layout, making it the most common typology. Each unit comes furnished with an open plan living and eating area immediately upon entering the residence, with a bedroom and bathroom off of the main space. The kitchen is furnished with ample storage, oven, 4no. induction hobs, full-height fridge-freezer and sink; topped with beech worktops and tiled backsplash. Venting is to be provided by an integrated vent within the hob. The large window provides plenty of natural light to the bedroom and living room, though artificial ambient lighting is provided via Matt White Adjustable LED Downlights 7W bulbs. The pendent lights over the stove both imply separation of the spaces, and contribute task lighting to prep space. Under cabinet lighting may also be installed for further task or even ambient lighting if requested by client.

MA Year 1 Semester 2 Urban Design- Ghent

Ghent was once one of the most affordable cities in Belgium, however a growing population has increased demand, meaning the city is now the third most expensive in the region. The area in which the site is located, Voormuide, is one of the sectors with the fastest rate of population growth. This growth consists primarily of younger people, generally of non-Belgian nationality, who require affordable housing which is becoming increasingly expensive. This proposal proposes provision for affordable housing as part of a larger masterplan which aims to rejuvenate the area into a more desirable location. The proposal also aims to re-purpose the industrial buildings which currently take up the East side of the site; into a district for the creative industries – an exponentially expanding part of Ghent’s economy. The expansion of employment within a residential zone aims to aid in the City Council’s drive for a more sustainable city- reducing the need for lengthy commutes and eradicating the need for a car. The central park element aims to bring the residential community and employment community together in a multi-functional open space where people can sit to talk, communicate and work while children use the same space to play. 80

Initial research involved investigating the economic and demographic data for Ghent, particularly focussing on the site and surrounding areas. This research highlighted a rapidly growing and diversifying population of young workers. In comparison to nearby areas, Voormuide is relatively densely populated so building residential became a realistic proposition.

MA Year 1 Semester 2 1 Ghent- De Creatieve Driehoek Ghent was once one of the most affordable cities in Belgium, however a growing population has increased demand, meaning the city is now the third most expensive in the region. The area in which the site is located, Voormuide, is one of the sectors with the fastest rate of population growth. This growth consists primarily of younger people, generally of non-Belgian nationality, who require affordable housing which is becoming increasingly expensive. This proposal will aim to provide the affordable housing as part of a larger masterplan which aims to rejuvenate the area into a more desirable location. The proposal also aims to repurpose the industrial buildings which currently take up the East side of the site; into a district for the creative industries – an exponentially expanding part of Ghent’s economy. The expansion of employment within a residential zone aims to aid in the City Council’s drive for a more sustainable city- reducing the need for lengthy commutes and eradicating the need for a car. The central park element aims to bring the residential community The Site and employment community together in a multi-functional open space where people can sit to talk, communicate and work while children use the same space to play.

For the individual part of the masterplanning project I aimed to address the affordable housing portion of our brief, focussing on the large residential development to the North end of the site. The ground floor, will replace the current commercial units with four small units and one thousand square metres for a larger shop (see top-right). 1- Site Boundary The Site is located to the North West of the masterplan on the corner of Voormuide and Dok-Nord. 2- Massing of the Site Producing a mass from the site boundary. 3- Creating the Plaza The mass is hollowed out to an appropriate depth for residences, orientated to open towards park. 4- Massing to match the Context The mass is to be reduced to be more sympathetic to the context.

Food Shop Supermarket Probable Catchment Area ^ Supermarket Feasibility In order to fill the needs of the increased number of residents, a food shop will be needed. The diagram (right) indicates the proximity of nearby foodshops (rings indicating 100m, 500m and 1km). The nearest supermarket is Delhaize in Dok Noord- a gourmet supermarket- and, as such, not likely to be used by the residents of the affordable housing. The map indicates that there appears to be a significant enough catchment area to justify the inclusion of a new supermarket.
