INTRODUCTION THE SITE IN CONTEXT

Project 4 [Sustainable Nursery]

Project 2 [All-Inclusive Housing]

Project 3 [Market Hall and Village Hall]

The site is strategically sited near the centre of the Sheffield, between the two shopping districts of “The Moor” and “Fargate”.

Projects 2,3 and 4 all occupy the same site, forming a complete hybrid with housing above a market place and village hall; and retail, offices and a nursery school opposite.

The context is largely a mixture of Victorian brick buildings and mid 20th century multi-storey buildings.

As there is a lack of good quality public realm space in Sheffield there is a duty to create successful public spaces as part of the hybrid.

ROBBRECHT EN DAEM - GHENT MARKET HALL Supported by only four massive elements, which themselves hide lifts and services and allow free flow through the structure. Well-considered junction between timber shingles and concrete.

A PART MODEL DESIGN INTENT The market and village hall is a visually simple structure, expressing the principles of load-bearing whilst defying scale with apparent ease and honesty. With this in mind, it is essential that the sizes and proportions are indicative of their duty within the design as a whole. This simplicity is to be retained and indeed celebrated from the scale of the building down to the scale of the individual connection.

The building must embrace the user and context holistically and read as a continuous and legible scheme. It should provide a light and open space, leaving visitors unhindered. As such, its metaphysical reach should extend beyond the covered space and out into the public realm provided between the market and nursery.

Housing

Shadow gaps celebrate junctions between elements

Plant/Rainwater Storage

In construction and use, issues of sustainability should be considered throughout, as an essential duty of the architect within the construction team. It is essential that design allows for maintenance and replacement of parts and components.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The interplay between the world of our bodies and the world of our dwelling places is always in flux. We make places that are an expression of our haptic experiences even as these experiences are generated by the places we have already created. Whether we are conscious or innocent of this process, our bodies and our movement are in constant dialogue with our buildings.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Charles Moore and Robert Yudell - Body, Memory and Architecture

A PART MODEL THE PERFORMANCE ENVELOPE “The question is not if one should be designing, but how.”

[Dieter Rams - “Die Rolle des Designers im Unternhemen” speech, 1980]

This page shows an overview of the interplay of layers and components within the part-model, in relation to their contribution to achieving the design-intent. The image shows the part model, looking from in side and expresses the layers as seen from the village hall.

Simple spider fittings are repeated across the facade, reinforcing the rhythm and connecting the market hall to village hall.

The scale of these elements connects with the scale of the person. (see page 11)

A glass walkway permits light down into marketplace, giving the impression that the village hall is floating mystically above it, suspended by the ceiling. Creates a dialogue between users of the different spaces. (see page 10)

Reclaimed brick flows from the inside to outside, where it is softened with planting.

The material creates a connection with the Victorian surroundings. A shadow gap expresses the concrete columns as rising from it.

Reclaimed timber in the village hall softens the concrete (both acoustically and visually), stopping at 5m high, eye level in the meeting room. (see page 12)

DESCRIPTIVE SPECIFICATION CONCRETE BEAMS AND COLUMNS â&#x20AC;&#x153;The monolithic appearance of exposed concrete makes a building look like a processed blank or sculpture, a work-piece created by removing material from a blockâ&#x20AC;?

[Andrea Deplazes] The simplicity of the monolith rising from the ground should be maintained and expressed through detail and surface finish.

Formed form precast concrete elements, externally insulated above first floor level.

A ventilated unitised rainscreen system with constant 30mm cavity is to be used.

Page describes concrete beams and columns, which are light in tone and appear to be monolithic and monumental. The size indicative of the duty they have in, supporting four floors of housing above.

Internally timber is expressed to relate the scale back to the human.

DESCRIPTIVE SPECIFICATION

GLASS CURTAIN WALL AND BRIDGE “Glass was born out of the earth through fire... [it] is transparent, hard and precious. These properties clutter our view of a material that, on closer inspection, defies a clear physical and phenomenological definition.” [Andrea Deplazes] A glass curtain wall encloses the space in both the heated and unheated spaces, permitting light and allowing views out across the public-realm towards the nursery. As it is necessary to use triple glazing in the heated areas, it is essential that the language of the facade is unchanged as it changes to laminated glass at the market hall. This must be ensured through didactic selection of glazing and considered connections and abutments.

The glass forms part of the floor in the village hall and must do so as elegantly as possible, yet without compromising user privacy and security.

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE: ACOUSTIC: Poor acoustic damping internally. Reduced external noise by <10db with Optiphon coating

VISUAL DESCRIPTION: MATERIAL: (see detail No. 02 + 03) Pilkington energiKare Triple glazing with LowE coating on the curtain wall and Pilkington Planar laminated glass on the floor.

LIGHT TRANSMITTANCE: 0.83 through curtain wall and 0.77 through floor.

FINISH: (treatment): External surfaces coated with Pilkington Activ self-cleaning layer.

Floor may need to be fritted or sand-blasted for slip-resistance (to comply with BS53951:2000) and to benefit privacy and reduce vertigo.

DESCRIPTIVE SPECIFICATION GLASS SPIDER

“I put the glass between the structural members and the members which are not of structure because the joint is the beginning of ornament. And that must be distinguished from decoration that is simply applied. Ornament is the adoration of the joint.” [Louis Kahn] Brushed stainless steel fittings are to be used throughout the scheme, a material chosen as it gives the impression of having been worn through use.

The same fitting will be used throughout the buildings 572m2 facade, so robustness in terms of highly considered performance and visual aspects is essential.

VISUAL DESCRIPTION: MATERIAL: (see explosion for build up) Cast brushed stainless steel connected through glass as specified on previous page.

FINISH: Brushed to a even texture with moderate shine. To be confirmed through samples.

DIMENSIONS/ORGANISATION/ASSEMBLY: ASSEMBLY: Brushed steel cover plate externally, to hide connections. All silicone sealant must be black, the same tone and sheen as glazing spacers, so that the facade reads continuously and joins are less visible at night.

ORGANISATION: Vertical: 3m centres Horizontal: 2m centres MATERIAL SECTION: 50mm bar 45o bend at 50mm from each end, with 30mm inside radius ASSEMBLED DIMENSIONS: (of element) 300X363mm in plan, excluding anchorings cast into concrete.

Specifics of the load holding to be confirmed with manufacturer in line with performance testing.

INCLUSIVE ACCESS: No transoms or spiders between 900-1200mm from FFL (for vision from wheelchairs).

JOINTING/FIXING METHOD/TECHNIQUE: Mechanically joined/bolted with 50 X 8mm allen bolt, through 36mm glazing, into milled thread in bar. All connections are to have low-modulus, wet-applied structural silicone, which must be black. No glass to steel contact. Externally a brushed steel cover plate is push-fitted onto the bolt, to cover it and educe water ingress. May need a grub screw to attach, to be confirmed with manufacture.

Bolts tightened to 15Nm of torque.

8mm adjustment in line with tolerances in concrete and glazing ABUTMENTS: With concrete column, through timber paneling, flush to surface, without damaging timber.

DESCRIPTIVE SPECIFICATION

TIMBER FLOORS AND CLADDING “For thousands of years man has worked with wood in all its guises and has taken advantage of its many varieties of colour and organic structure in combination with many forms of technique.” [Steen Eiler Rasmussen] Timber paneling controls the raw quality of the concrete and helps to bring the monumental scale of load-bearing elements back down to a human level. To aid these conditions reclaimed timber will be used, to juxtapose the crisp lines of the concrete and clarity of glass. Hints to previous uses should create allure and reinforce the importance of sustainability within design.

It should serve as acoustic damping, with acoustic specifications to be confirmed prior to installation.

The timber is expressed as an applied surface through a vertical shadow gap at the connection of wall and floor.

SYSTEM PERFORMANCE: ACOUSTIC: Acoustic damping and reduces impact noise.

VISUAL DESCRIPTION: MATERIAL: Reclaimed hardwood timber boards, used on first floor and internal walls from first floor FFL (4000mm) up to 9000mm from GL. (see detail for build-up) FINISH: Sanded to 150 grit TONE: Varying tone from reclaimed timber. No varnish is acceptable on the surface. Some paint on up to 50% of the boards is acceptable, but must be sanded to prevent flaking.

FINISH: (treatment): Oiled/sealed with two coats of non-toxic Tung oil prior to installation. Tone to be confirmed and must be compared to sample PATTERN: Appears random, but based on grid shown in sample. Runs vertically up wall and continues same direction when used at the first floor.

DIMENSIONS/ORGANISATION/ASSEMBLY: PROFILES: Reclaimed boards planed to continuous thickness of 15 X 150mm (+/- 1mm) and must have parallel edges. Profile for jointing is a machined tongue and groove, with flush (not mitered) joints, to allow for hidden fixing (see opposite).

MATERIAL SHEET SIZES: Curtain wall: 2000X3000 panels Floor: 2000X1000 panels MATERIAL SECTION SIZES: 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000 lengths exclusively. Must have square edges. Expressed up to THICKNESSES: Planed to 15mm FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION: BUILDING FUNCTION: Non-structural. Covers lower part of concrete columns above first floor level. Acoustic damping in village hall.

JOINTING/FIXING METHOD/TECHNIQUE: Screwed onto proprietary aluminium frame.

DESCRIPTIVE SPECIFICATION

GROUND SURFACE - BRICK “Different civilisations of different periods are charecterised by particular types of brickwork but all of them are composed of the same elements: brick and mortar.”

[Steen Eiler Rasmussen] As a “human artifact” the brick represents the scale of the person, opposed to the scale of the building and city. As the ground surface it should express the columns rising from it. The surface flows from the public realm into the market, breaking down thresholds and inhibitions and aiding free flow through the marketplace.

Externally, brick is to be open-jointed, with holes for planting. Is to form part of a SUDS system, to prevent surface run-off and help manage water on-site.

VISUAL DESCRIPTION: MATERIAL: Reclaimed brick from surrounding buildings being demolished. Standard-sized bricks of varying tones. Concrete block and engineering bricks will not be accepted.

If insufficient reclaimed bricks available, then Carlton Brick (local brickworks) Moorland bricks can be mixed in.

TONE: Variety of tones taken from surrounding context (see study opposite). Mortar (where used) to be same colour as concrete, confirmed through sample. Remains of paint from previous use are acceptable, but concrete/original mortar will not be.

PATTERN: To be laid with “sailor” face exposed, stretcher bond, with bucket-handle mortar (when used internally).

Externally, pattern is broken with planting holes 40mm shadow gap created around columns, to express them as rising from the ground (see detail No.06).

FINISH: Un-treated DIMENSIONS/ORGANISATION/ASSEMBLY: MODULE DIMENSIONS: Standard complete bricks to be used - 215 X 65 X 102.5mm ASSEMBLED DIMENSIONS: Internally: Circa 460m2 Externally: Circa 2100m2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION: BUILDING FUNCTION: Ground floor surface and outdoor surface INCLUSIVE ACCESS: Minimal level changes or bumps. Single-level access, with 1:15 slope at west end where level changes occur.

FIXING: Internally: Sit on concrete screed, on top of pad foundation. Drainage to be included at the edges.

Externally: Laid open-jointed on sand-blinding, on compacted Type 3 recycled 40mm unbound sub-base, with <10% of particles smaller then 10mm to comply with SUDS regulations. Damaged/broken bricks can be used for drainage bedding below this.

ABUTMENTS: 20mm vertical shadow gap at junction with floor USE: Sub-base must be sufficiently deep and compacted to withstand heavy regular foot-traffic and occasional vehicular access for deliveries and emergency services.

REFLECTION A CRITICAL ANALYSIS

ON THE COURSEWORK: I feel that the TSB coursework has helped me develop skills in developing design through 3D studies and has reinforced the importance of this in creating high performance buildings.

In relation to the coursework I feel that through putting these skills into practice I have been successful in fulfilling the design intent moving from the scale of the city to the scale of the individual brick. This has been achieved through referring back constantly to the desired conditions set out early in the project in response to site, programme and context. I now appreciate the importance of complete rigour in specification and detail as regards communicating design intent and build-ability.

I feel that I have been largely successful in specifying sustainable and local materials and processes (from GGBS to recycled timber), but this could be taken further.

I do however feel that certain bespoke elements of my appraisal will be superficial unless prototyped tested didactically and developed as outlined below. Ultimately the success of any structure comes down the capricious factors that can only be discovered through use and occupation.

DEVELOPMENT: TESTING: Only through full scale part prototypes can the integrity of design be confirmed. The glass curtain wall in particular should be spray-bar tested to ensure waterproofing. Other factors, such as acoustics, wind-loading and solar gain should be tested, to confirm exact specification. Concrete samples in addition to the ones already produced must be compared on (site) to the adjoining materials of glass, timber and brick, to precisely confirm the hierarchies between them and the mix required.

LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS: Sustainability issues must be addressed through LCA, ensuring that cradle-to-cradle design is taking place. This should be complimented by selection of sustainable, ISO 9000 suppliers and Considerate Contractors, on the same note it essential that the project manager and rest of construction team understand the design intent and its implications to effect it successfully.

CDM: A full CDM analysis should be developed, to ensure the scheme is build-able safely. This should address minimising risk to contractors and reducing operative time on site.

SOFT LANDINGS: As a part of LCA, the end user should be considered. A complete document including material break and maintenance schedules should be included.

“A designer needs to be intelligent and quick on the uptake... He should be critical, reasonable and realistic... He must also be patient, optimistic and persistent... And finally he should have the capacity for better ideas, a sense of proportion and colour, sensitivity and last but not least a foundation in handicraft and aptitude.”
