INDIAN HERITAGE CENTRE
Colourful centre mixes history and modernity by Greg Shand Architects
Architect: Robert Greg Shand Architects Location: India district , Singapore Built in Area: 3089 sq.m Project Year: August 2015 Photographer : Aaron Pocock The brief The National Heritage Board wanted a sustainable contemporary building that would embrace the vibrant streetscape of the area and its people. Singapore’s first Indian Heritage Centre (IHC) would feature small-scale museum facilities as well as community and educational spaces. The space requirement was for two large galleries for the permanent collection, a special gallery for changing exhibitions, and an activity space for smaller groups that could be closed off when in use, or opened up to complement the special exhibition gallery. In terms of energy efficiency, the brief stipulated that while the environmental control requirements were to be strictly adhered to for the galleries (relative humidity and temperature), the building should achieve a minimum Green Mark GOLD rating.
The Indian Heritage Centre by Robert Greg Shand Architects combines contextual design solutions and contemporary architectural language to create a culturally sensitive, content rich and inclusive space.

Snøhetta to design Banque Libano Francaise’s new headquarters in Beirut
“
Snøhetta has won the competition to design the new Banque Libano Francaise (BLF) headquarters. Located in Beirut, the project marks Snøhetta’s first ever commission in Lebanon. The concept embodies a new future for the bank as well referencing the rich history and value set that has evolved over generations.
“We are delighted to enter into this creative partnership with the BLF. In a time of profound change and transformation, the BLF is an ideal partner for Snøhetta with our shared ideals of sustainability, community, and dialogue.”, says Snøhetta founding partner Kjetil T. Thorsen. The design for the new general headquarters points towards a new future both for the bank and for the city and community of which it is a part. The BLF headquarters should be recognizable with all its public qualities independently of evolving corporate strategies or changing demands on the interior spaces. To achieve this, the architectural concept is both generic and conceptual at the same time. It embodies a new future for the bank, as well referencing the rich history and value set that has evolved over generations. A New Workspace More than just achieving the required number of work spaces, the goal is to create a community. The working environment is focused around the specific exterior spaces that are carved from the built volume. These terraces become the social hubs around which the working environment is organized, forming the primary organization for all workspaces. A New Public Space Our design clearly articulates a public and private domain. The public domain forms the foundation of the new headquarters building, containing the essential public functions and facilities. This public base is connected to the street and surrounding urban context. Maintaining a high degree of permeability at street level is an essential element for the project, ensuring connectivity across the site and with the wider neighbourhood. www.byouteit-magazine.com / 17

School of Engineering at Lancaster University “Lancaster University has invested in an outstanding new Engineering Building, providing world-class facilities for both teaching and research, reinforcing our position as a centre for engineering excellence.” Mark Swindlehurst, Director of Facilities, Lancaster University.
Architect : John McAslan + Partners Location : Lancaster, UK Project Year : 2015 Area 4,750 sq.m Photographs : Nick Gutteridge
104 / Byouteit magazine
This new home for the School of Engineering at Lancaster University provides a diverse range of workshops; laboratories and academic offices, accommodating a variety of highly-specialist disciplines. In addition to providing new academic space for an expanding cohort of staff and students the University’s brief was twofold; to create a building
which would improve the public face and working environment of the department, and to build a highly sustainable facility achieving BREEAM Outstanding. John McAslan + Partner’s design for the new 4700 sqm Engineering Building, won through design competition, arose from three fundamental aims ; to create
a piece of architecture and adjacent public realm that would enhance the campus environment and fulfil the ambitions of the masterplan; to provide a research-based environment which engenders staff collaboration and celebrates the profile of the school; and to provide a flexible working environment that promotes the diverse curriculum and research interests of the department. Located on the site of the former university Sports Centre the building’s plan is simple. Two 60m long academic wings, slipped in plan and separated by a 6m wide central atria, engage with the landscape to create a new public forecourt adjacent to the spine at one end and a similar scale service and delivery yard directly accessed
“
A piece of architecture and adjacent public realm that would enhance the campus environment and fulfil the ambitions of the masterplan
via the perimeter road at the other. The heaviest mechanical and engineering workshop spaces occupy the ground floor volumes; whilst upper levels provide a mixture of smaller lab spaces; academic and support spaces. From the new public square; a four-storey portal leads directly to the entrance located at the end of the atrium. The atrium is conceived as a ‘collaborative space for informal interaction and discourse’, whereby the interstitial volume becomes an opportunity for chance encounters afforded through a ribbon of stairs; routes and landings which connect at various locations to the academic wings either side. www.byouteit-magazine.com / 105
