Material Study Around the site you will see a lot of old materials used, such as red brick which has weathered over time, rusted beams and metal plates. Where buildings have been untouched for years Ivy has started growing in many spots also giving the area an older look to the buildings. Many of the buildings will stay this way due to being listed, however with the stadium build on Bramley Moore dock i believe this will all change and a whole new modern look will come of Liverpool Ten streets, as new buildings and buisnessess relocate to the area for the busy match days.

Foundation detail This details shows the f oundations of my building, these being pile foundations. These will be placed at the bottom of every steel column along the building. mainly made of concrete, with steel rebar through for extra strength. I believe this is the best foundation for my building due to the size of the building, and the pile foundation works perfectly in conjunction with the lightweight steel frame i have chosen to use.
