Fire Strategy
Structural Strategy The main structural system in this project is reinforced columns concrete, concrete load-bearing wall, and flat slab. The load within the building are transferred vertically and horizontally through the slab and the columns. The same principles are used to transfer the load with the west-facing cantilever up until the lift shaft that also plays a role as the building’s stability system. With this skeleton structure or famously known as the Do-mino structural system it allows the interior space to maximize its adaptability depends on its use, and it fits within the brief program.
Le Corbusier construction innovation of a mass producing structural strategy has influced many modern architecture. This construction sequence consist of concrete slab and reinforced concrete around the edges that allows a high chance of manipulating the interior part of the building.

Within the building, minimum standard smoke detector, heat alarm and fire splinters are installed as a first defends in the case of fire outbreak and scheduled maintenance will be working to ensure the fire alarm system is working every time. On the other hand, in the case of fire, to prevent an internal fire spreading, fire-resistant doors and walls, are installed around the main fire escape route.
Horizontal Fire Escape Strategy Vertical Fire Escape Strategy Second Floor

Through this construction precedent, allows the Seeing project to have a flexible interior circulation and partions to allow it to fit within the brief and design requirement.

The main function of the building is Community Centre (Public) and Residential (Private). Fire exit strategy relays on the Approved Document B on Horizontal Escape and Vertical Escape. As the materiality and main structural system of the building are reinforced concrete and flat slab have a good rate of being a fire-resistant building material.

Ventilation & Heating

With this skeleton structure or famously known as the Do-mino structural system it allows the interior space to maximize its adaptability depends on its use, and it fits within the brief program.
Pre Heated Fresh Air
Airtight Building Wrapping System
Other than passive ventilation systems such as window and doors, the main ventilation system that isAir used within the building is Mechanical VentiPre Heated Fresh Warm Air Extracted lation Heat Recovery (MVHR) which allows the air quality within the building to be easily controlled adapting towards different seasons throughout the year. This ventilation system also allows a good air circulation within the building which are not dependent from the outside air. Which due to the depth of the building will be hard to stabilize throughout the whole spaces.
MVHR work by intake fresh air from outside, controls needed temperature depending on the need within the building and exhaust fresh warm air throughout the building. As the hot and wetIntake air raises from the wet room Air MVHEand bathroom, MVHR the intake the used within the building such as toilets air back to then exhaust to the outside. The hot air from the building at Exhaust Air the same time will be used to warm up the fresh air from outside. Another strategy to keep the air quality within the building are well controlled is to use an airtight wrapping system to prevent heat loss and cold air breach. Mechanical Ventilation Heat Exchanger MVHR Typical Grid System The heating system is located under the finishing floor throughout the building.

Obstructing Seeing Environmental Study One precedent that uses the same principles of obstructing Seeing is the Gallery of La Tallera by Freda Escobedo. Which as seen on the image it obstructs just enough to still allow for Seeing to be taken place and it also manipulating direct sunlight at the same time act as louvres to cast shadows to prevent overheating and glare. This is a great strategy to be used within the project.

Daylight and Seeing Obstructing Study From the field diagram, there are 6 outcomes of possible For_Seeing shape to be used, but a study needs to be done in order to understand how each individual device will affect the space and obstruct seeing. The main issue with some of the shape is that they not obstruct enough light of field of vision, for example, shape A, B and C and others such as shape D and F shape that causes the effect of glare where there is a high contrast between the light source to the space inside the building. Glare could cause vision discomfort ness and a low capability in the field of vision. From this study, shape E will be taken into further investigation.

Concrete Model. Made by Sadiyah Tijani
Material Experimentation The materiality of the for_seeing device is explored in 3 different types of material, such as timber, glass and concrete. Timber Timber not only it’s a sustainable material, but the aesthetic of them it has the ability to changes the whole experience of as a building through its material. In term of this project, I manage to make models of the potential shapes of the for_seeing device and to see how timber as a building material could work. One thing that is noticeable is the way that, timber cast shadows from a source of light to the internal space is not an aesthetic of how the project and concept flow. Within Digbeth, the industrial urban context is very strong and timber is not really the best material to be used. Glass Through glass as a for_seeing material, is to take advantage of the ability in the level of opacity it can be varied. A mock-up piece of the device shows that glass capable to provide a different level of seeing with a high opacity that reaches 0 percentage of seeing and to the medium opacity level that allows light and silhouette to be seen from inside the building. One disadvantage of glass is the high-cost production to have different patterns for the gradual level of seeing through the project. Concrete Concrete is a very common building material within Digbeth’s industrial urban context and aesthetically is something that would fit within the project and concept. From one of the precedents of how concrete used as a facade material in a systematical grid is EDU Headquarters in Columbia, which shows a great precedent of how concrete would cast shadows and obstruct seeing which fits into the project and concept.

EDU Headquarter, Columbia. This precedent shows how The first step is to create the cade. Then the concrete will be cade. And when it arrived on site,
the concrete facade is being produced and pre-casted outside the site. moulding plastic that will hold the shape of the wanted concrete fapoured alongside the metal grid that reinforced the whole precast fathe pre-cast facade then will be installed and joint with the desired system.
The whole construction process within this precedent helps to understand the construction sequence would go through and that it is possible to achieve the aesthetic and the concept of the obstruction in seeing.
