Rupert Murdoch is CEO of the News Corporation and Liveryman of the Stationers’ Company who used to own the site in Wapping, London- the old News International Site now become the site for the project for Stationers’ New Headquarter. As the design proposal continue to contribute to the printing and craft heritage, a integrated fabrication technology with modern building material selection will demonstrate in Building Construction section of the report, it will explore the transformation from design ambition to intricate interior details and building fragments. Due to the scale and complexity of the project, the report will focus on Sanctuary Hall (Dining Hall) for Building Design, Construction and Performance, other sections such as Context and Delivery will demonstrate the overall building complex and landscape.

00.2 Project Description

00.21

Stationers’ Company as Livery Companies which were first created by groups of medieval tradesmen who joined together to promote, protect and regulate their trades.

Design Concept

“600 years ago most craftsmen in London were itinerant. However the manuscript writers and illuminators decided to concentrate their efforts and set up stalls or ‘stations’ around St Paul’s Cathedral. Because of this they were given the nickname ‘Stationers’ and this was the obvious choice of name for the guild they established in 1403.” Stationers had regular rituals such as Annual Election followed by a formal dinner and members of the guild will witness, celebrate, and perform together at Stationer’s Hall throughout the centuries. Temple of Prayer

As one of the proposal for Stationers’ Company’s Headquarter, Sanctuary Hall is proposed as Dining Hall for their regular ritual activities.

Conceptual sketch demonstrating ritualistic geometry as architectural elements

The Building Design (Sanctuary Hall) is fundamentally driven by Stationers’ ritual, and its geometry is reflection of the activities that the member’s participation and circulation movement spatially.

“Joseph Moxon in his seventeenth century handbook for printing known as Moxon’s Mechanick Exercises. Held on the occasion of the annual election of four stewards to represent the printers, the feast began with a formal procession from Stationers’ Hall to church led by four attendants with white staves in their hands and red and blue ribbons hung across their shoulders. After the church, the group returned to the hall for a formal meal accompanied by music. Then the ceremony of election began with the four current stewards withdrawing from the hall to a chamber from which they returned led by the company beadle. Marching in order of seniority, each steward now wore a fresh garland of leaves and carried a long white wand. Each was preceded by an attendant who carried a bowl of sugared white wine in his right hand and his staff of office in the left. Three times the procession circled the hall; then the most senior steward took his attendant’s bowl, selected his successor from the assembled company, and crowning him with his garland of leaves, drank to him as ’master steward elect’. According to Moxon, there would be a great clapping of hands and drumming of feet to applaud the choice, after which the entire party would walk another round about the hall together with the newly elected steward, a ritual that was repeated three times until all four printers’ stewards for the year had been elected.” (Deazley, R., Kretschmer, M., & Bently, L. 2010)

Fig 00.21b Jean-Jacques Lequeu The “Temple consacré à l’Egalité” is composed of a globe emerging from a circular portico. In the huge empty interior, on the base, there is only a much smaller globe topped by a statue, a small sculptural composition in contrast to the immense void. This design was devised in the year II of the Revolution to glorify a revolutionary ideal. The precedent below addresses the design research and theory for geometry and volume exploration

00.2 Project Description

Architectural Ritualistic Spaces have been the principle design drivers for Stationer’s Headquarter through buildings to landscape.

00.22 Precedent Inspirations

Studies

&

The diagrams on the right page exemplifies the relationship within a city and its ritualistic representation through axis, threshold and connection form outside to inside. Sanctuary Hall is like a “Temple”, it is monumental to the Stationers’ Headquarter, it introduces the light and dark to the history and heritage of this 600 years old Guild in a modern day. The Gardens for the building complex is inspired from the fundamental relationship of those ritualistic cities’ access, linear threshold, symmetrical geometries and focal points. Louis Kahn’s design transfered the human relationship into the building spaces and connect them through a ritualistic approach, but achieved through a modern building material.

Southwest View of looking over the Garden of Dining towards Sanctuary Hall

Such Space stresses “the role of inspiration, an animation of a participant’s soul or spirit, which would motivate the formation of both institutions relevant to modern life and their architectural settings.” (Peter Kohane, 2001) LOUIS KAHN’S THEORY OF ‘INSPIRED RITUAL’ AND ARCHITECTURAL SPACE

Salk Institute California

Salk Institute California (Right) “building has become an emblem Exeter Library(Bottom) of tranquility in architecture” and “a Louis Kahn quality enhanced by the carefully planned symmetrical vistas overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Built in 1962 and declared a national historic landmark in 1991, Kahn designed the complex to express an underlying sense of spiritualism, fusing influences from both the International Style and Brutalism anchored by a gently flowing river through the center of the design. “ (Finn MacLeod, 2015)

Exeter Library

“Exeter Academy. Here, the student traverses an extensive path. He or she enters the building through the external arcade, passes up stairs to the Pantheon-like, top-lit central hall, where the surrounding books are displayed as an invitation to read. Stairs give access to the dark zone of the stacks, from which the reader selects a book and moves towards the light.” (Peter Kohane, 2001) 5

and

Site has chosen to be at wapping where the old news international print building was. The whole site has been designed and organised to accommodate the main building design complex with three main garden landscapes and reservoirs. Each Garden and Reservoir will serve one main theme which was created along the building programme and its particular function. The building complex designed and placed on the axis that was decided from the beginning point of the St. George in the east Church towards ICC International maritime Bureau next to the Thames River.

Sanctuary Hall (Dining Hall)

Along the axis, appropriate design features such as ritualistic events will take place. Landscape (Genius loci) is mainly driven from the inspirations of configurations of geometries that described as a certain ritual event.

01.2 Site History

01.21 History development of the site

In 17th century, a popular land use to the perimeter of the city boundaries was horticulture. Most local histories remark replied onthe substantial amount of market gardening which supported London’s growing population at that time but not too many of the nursery gardeners. There was only one wet dock was located within contact with London in 18th century, later on, two projects commenced to secure Parliamentary backing. With London’s second dock system opening in 1805. It was proposed to build a dock most close to the city which in result of massive clearance of population- A 20 acre dock with a wall by warehouse.

Fig 01.21a, 1882 Reynolds Map of the East End.

The Site has a strong maritime history, it is located at the heart of the once-thriving London Docks. Throughout the 19th century, high-value commodities such as ivory, spirits, coffee and wool would arrive from all over the world. When it was completed, the London Dock occupied about ninety acres, consisting of Western Dock, Eastern Dock and the smaller Tobacco Dock. It used to be three links from western docks to the river Thames; Hermitage Basin, Wapping Basin, and a route through via Shadwell Basin now is only one connect to the river.

Fig 01.21b, Wapping Dispute 1986 “The Wapping dispute was, along with the miners’ strike of 1984-5, a significant turning point in the history of the trade union movement and of UK industrial relations. It started on 24 January 1986 when some 6,000 newspaper workers went on strike after protracted negotiation with their employers, News International (parent of Times Newspapers and News Group Newspapers, and chaired by Rupert Murdoch).”

Fig 01.21h, New International 2012 23

Rupert Murdoch’s News International Site developed through mid 80s and occupied it for around 25 years. It was once called ‘Fortress Wapping’, the Site was home to the company’s printing presses and editorial staff. In 2005 News International began to move the Site, announcing regional printing bases throughout the country. All printing finished on site in 2008, with remaining staff being relocated into neighbouring office complex Thomas More Square in 2011.

In 2010 News International moved to Thomas More Square and their old home, the 15 acre site in Wapping, sold for £150 million to the Berkeley Group in 2012, who have since won planning permission at the start of the year to build up to 1800 new homes as well as a new school.”

The Site itself does not locate within a conservation area,But with several in close proximity. St George in the East Conservation Area is located to the north east and encompasses the Grade I Listed St George inthe East Church and its grounds.

Conservation Context

The Wilton’s Music Hall Conservation Area is situated to the north west and includes several Listed buildings of different grades. To the west of the Site is The Tower Conservation Area, a significantly larger area containing the Grade I Listed Tower of London and Tower Bridge. The Wapping Pierhead and Wapping Wall Conservation Areas to the south east of the Site contains several Grade II buildings along the north bank of the River Thames. The Grade I Listed Tobacco Dock, which is currently being used as a multi-functional venue, locates immediately to the east of the Site. The only Listed structure within the Site boundary is Pennington Street Warehouse, which has Grade II Listed status.

01.51 Immediate Surrounding Religious Archietcture and other figures

St George in the East Church was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor who had reinterpreted Rome’s Baroque Architecture and had designed many any significant churches in London and it demonstrated a series of unique British Baroque Architecture. The proposal of Stationer’s Headquarter which its design drive started form geometries to ritualistic representation. It is like Borromini who utilised the configuration of geometries rather like Bernini who used the proportion of the human body to design buildings. The religious context, especially the St George in the East Church is key figure to the Stationers’ Dinning Hall, the masterplan of the headquarter sits on the axis beginning from St George towards ICC International maritime Bureau next to the Thames River which defines the urban ritual proposal in the next chapter.

Mission

Wilton’s Music Hall “Wilton’s is a place of artistic distinction and diversity; a hive of activity anchored by an historic building with soul and a heart - a place to experience and interact with.” Its Architectural setting and current functional use is another significant urban ritual proposal influence.

nections to the City, and the route D3 go through Tobacco Dock and provides a link to the Docklands and Canary Wharf.

The Highway is a significant barrier to pedestrian movement within the local area. A Busy road, it has four lane roads with few safe pedestrian crossing points. The road provides essential east-west links between the City and the Docklands and beyond.

Shadwell, Wapping, Tower Gateway and Tower Hill stations are all approximately a 10-15 minute walk away, it provids rail links over 4 London Underground and Overground lines.

01.7 Urban Design Proposal

01.71

Phase 01 | Garden Rituals

Urban Ritual Morphology Analysis and Landscape Strategy

Garden Rituals are a series of geometric and sacral landscape design through creating public spaces for the local communities who are religious or with no religion.

“The epic story of humans taking possession of the land and shaping communities through the act of building”

Its purpose is coherent with Pavilions Rituals as well as providing an unique experience for the public.

-Spiro Kostof

By introducing Garden Rituals, its setting acted as a sacral movement and it became monumental towards the other gardens in the region. Again it is designed to re-connect the story and history of Wapping through symbols, geometries, threshold and water. Its function not only provide the general visual pleasure but also allowing meditation, worship, performance, even ceremonial events in the open public space which to attract wider anticipation through Wapping to the rest of London. Phase 02 | Pavilions Rituals By applying digital fabrication to generate selected details from historical architecture such as St George in the East and Wilton’s Music Hall’s Façade, then use it as interpretation of the language of the classical architecture. Installation is designed and inspired from its geometry, form and material. Pavilions Rituals are installations which both exhibit and store the historical memories of the architectures in Wapping, its purpose become scenarios which trace the origin of architectural spaces in connection to rituals. Through technology and fabrication to recreate the form and story of the ancient architecture to celebrate the meaning of the buildings. To also explore the human values as well as emphasising its sacral functions and settings.

Livery Companies were first created by groups of medieval tradesmen who joined together to promote, protect and regulate their trades There are 110 livery companies in London, each representing a discrete profession or trade. Their donation activities are focused on education that connects young people with their industries. 600 years ago most craftsmen in London were itinerant. But the manuscript writers and illuminators made decision to concentrate on their efforts and to set up stalls or ‘stations’ around St Paul’s Cathedral. The guild was established in 1403.

02.2 Client’s Brief

02.21

Rupert Murdoch- the CEO of the News Corporation and Liveryman of the Stationers’ Company. In a Design Programme and recent speech at the Stationers’ Livery company in London, he stated that “power is moving away from Brief the old elite in our industry,” and that “we are at the dawn of a golden age of information- an empire of Research Centre & Institute new knowledge.” A digital future that will “put that for Worshipful Company of power in the hands of those already launching a blog every second.” (Gibson) Stationers

In this design outcome and delivery, the client’s priority will be highly focused on its completion quality.

To celebrate the glorious history of Stationers’ Company’s value as well as joining force with today’s new technology, the proposal of Research Centre & Institute for its members will not only provide the advanced research facilities for Communications and Content Industries, but also to contribute to their fundamental identities in London as Livery Company and to deliver a completely new headquarter for Stationers’ Company and their more than 900 members within the Communications and Content Industries.

Because of the building fabrication and internal intricate details, the building and construction process will require a large sufficient amount of time and it will increase the cost.

As Headquarter of the Stationers’ Company, the method of construction and building materials should represent and showcase the combination of today’s advanced technology integrated with company’s historical value and image.

In this case, the client will need to consider the appropriate contract for the best quality control. At the early stage of the project, Architects, Consultants such as highly skilful Joiners, Freemasonry and Contractors should be invited for discussion and to allow Architects to design and complete the drawings before the construction The aim and prospect is to bring printing and craft, stage. religion and science, education and culture together to be integrated into a better community in London. The building complex consists three main domains with its appointed landscape, and each has unique functional facilities as well as ritualistic qualities. The current events that take place at Stationers’ Hall will be replaced and divided into three categories , it will be relocated and distributed into the new headquarter as following three building complex. -Sanctuary Hall (Dining Hall) + Garden of Dining -2000 sqm Formal Dining, Celebration, Annual Election Rituals , Gallery -Stationers’ Chapel + Garden of Prayer -900 sqm Sunday Services and other religious events -Auditorium (Workshop, Accommodation ) + Library + Garden of Performance -4500 sqm Educational and Research facility for new technology in media information, printing and craft. Conferences, Public and Private Seminars, Archives, Accommodation for Stationers and Performances. 47

02.4 Procurement

02.41

Procurement is the process of purchasing goods or services. Client should select the appropriate route Traditional Contract with to procure a building’s design and construction. The procurement route has many important factors Pre-Construction Service and drivers to determine its category and should Agreement (PCSA) follow a strategy which comprehend the long-term objectives of the client’s business plan.

02.42

Risks (Delivery)

The design drivers against the Stationers’ Company’s proposal is design quality and specific project constraints such as bespoke and prefabricated building elements. Those elements will need initial consultation from specific contractors who are specialised in particular areas such as timber joiners and freemasons. Therefore in the beginning of the project, the Client will invite those specific contractors to join discussion to assist architects to complete the design drawings before the construction. During the construction stage, the initially invited contractors will be recommended to join the design team again and continue their specific areas of the building management and construction. They can be divided into different packages in order to contribute to the construction process.

The advantage of traditional procurement method allows Stationers’ Company take control in the whole design team, and maximise the quality in design, additionally having PCSA integrated in the beginning of the project also allows employer to select specific contractors for appointed bespoke construction elements. The risks that Stationers’ Company might facing: -Design consultants might not be selected from a competitive tender, and in result of conservative design specifications to increase the cost. -When the process of traditional method split into design and construction which might lead to disputes about whether defects are in fact design defects, and the employer will be responsible, if defects in materials and workmanship which the contractor is responsible

-Stationers’ Company cannot tender for main contractor until design finalised which will result in more time before construction work can commence. If the contractor was “design and build”, the contract price would attract a premium in excess of its true The Traditional Contract should be selected by the cost to the employer. Client for the whole procurement process. -Stationers’ Company has to be certain and decisive In this process, all members of design team towards design decisions before construction have direct contract with the client and they are stage, otherwise it will be more difficult to make supervised by architect. Such process give them and implement later design changes in a traditional a lot of independence and limited contractual contract method, because it was already “finalised” responsibility. On the other hand, in the construction during the design period. team all members are contracted to main contractor, (“Risk In Building Design And Construction who, in turn has access to the client. Such structure Designing Buildings Wiki”) makes main contractor liable for performance of all subcontractors and suppliers. Every exchange of information between construction and design teams should take place through main contractor-architect. This means, that legally, requests made by client should not be implemented until they are confirmed in adequate form by the contract administrator (architect). Only in the beginning of the project, PCSA (PreConstruction Service Agreement) is integrated with the main contract which allow the client to procure the specific contractors to firstly join the design team. It will allow the specific contractors to contribute to the design process; advice on buildability, packaging of works as well as developing cost plan and construction programme at early design stage.

02.7 Risks

02.61 Risks in Design, Maintenance and Operation

To deliver a successful building design project, there are a series of potential risks in terms of the maintenance and operation for Stationers’ Research Centre and Institute. The typical ricks can be unexpected soil conditions during the excavation on site; failure in acquiring the appropriate material for building construction; poor decision making in terms of appointment for the right consultation teams. The Client’s design proposal expect a high quality project which will require skilful and experienced contractors to control the quality during construction process. Defective workmanship and lack of coordination may result the risk of underachieving the expected quality. The client should carefully consider and appoint the design team and make accurate early design decisions before it is finalised. Operation such as managing sub-contractors and information exchange should be effective and transparent, if not, it may result unexpected cost rise and delay of the project schedule. Large landscape design and water feature requires long time and high cost for excavation which may result delay project schedule if the ground condition was problematic and difficult. Experienced contractor should be appointed at early stage to avoid any implications such as safety of workers. Due to the complexity of building design proposal, the prefabricated elements; external cladding and intricate interior forms together with integrated innovative architectural design technology which will have high risks of underachieving quality, failure in design and unexpected time and cost. Tests and mock ups should be produced accordingly to assist the overall design and quality control to mitigate the risks.

03.1 Overall Performance Strategy

03.11 Introduction and Precedents

The Diagram on the right illustrated the overall building performance zoning strategy, each zoning will be explained in detail throughout this Chapter. As a Dining Hall, its building performance will focus on its functional uses via different floor areas and particular spaces. The main building material is divided into concrete and timber, which concrete as the external and internal fabric will give thermal mass to the building, timber framed trusses provided the in-between space for services like electrical distribution and natural air ventilation.

Fig 03.11a

National Assembly Richard Rogers Wales “Rogers chose to use rough slate, smooth concrete, steel, glass and timber to build that Welsh Assembly... Responding to the dynamics of the local environment. As well as to environmental details like natural ventilation, nighttime cooling, geothermal energy, rainwater harvesting...�

63

The form and geometry of the building is relatively symmetrical and that provided the openings from East, South, West and North to allow the wind (air flow) to go into the building whenever the wind direction is at the time. But the openings from the squared geometrical building facade are designed in a way to compromise the local wind direction and also to allow sufficient amount of south facing roof openings as well as in other levels. The monumental and chimney shaped building form also created diagonalised external facade with openings such as roof openings which allow natural light penetrate through as well as the wind (air flow). The mixed mode ventilation is applied to this building design performance, which allow natural ventilation for the public spaces such as dining hall, concourse and atrium vertical circulation space. And mechanical ventilation is used for the private individual chambers ,meditation room at the top of the building and gallery space in the basement. A chimney system is placed from the kitchen where the stove space is located and it is also connect to the diagonal shaped fire escape to the top of the building for access and maintenance. During the winter, the hot air will be distributed via concrete chimney and stored as thermal mass and release to the inside of the building.

03.2 Environmental Control: Passive VentilationMix Mode 03.21

The diagram fig 01 illustrated the wind penetration through the building and the wind direction is coming from south west. The geometry of the building and setting out of the plan is relatively symmetrical from all directions, so the wind is easily pushing the air into the building and to create a natural flow through out the ground floor area.

Natural Ventilation and Wind Movements Fig 01

The dinning hall space is open plan and also in the centre of the building where the kitchen is symmetrically located opposite of the dining hall in the north east. It is also connected to the concrete diagonal core-fire escape which the stove from the kitchen is placed at the bottom of a chimney shaped space all way up to the top of the building to allow stack ventilation.

03.2 Environmental Control: Passive VentilationMix Mode and Thermal Mass 03.22 Mechanical Ventilation -FCU Systems and Thermal Mass

The diagram on the right illustrated the thermal mass strategy for Dining Hall (In-situ Concrete External Wall)

“The strong stone walls of the old 19thcentury building are echoed in the new wing’s 80-centimeter thick walls, which fulfil the high thermal insulation requirements of the Minergie-P Eco standard. The tuff concrete developed especially for use in the new wing corresponds to the tuff facade of the old building, and the polished concrete floors in the new wing suggest a modern interpretation of the decorative terrazzo floors in the old building.” -ArchDaily

In mixed mode buildings natural ventilation is used as the primary means of providing cooling and, when this is inadequate to provide comfort conditions, active cooling is introduced. “It is a building in which occupants can open windows, and which is designed with effective passive strategies for limiting the effects of the external climate. The passively designed building is utilised to provide acceptable conditions for the majority of the year, and is supplemented by a mechanical system, either on an ‘as and when required’ basis, or on a seasonal basis.” (Cooper, V.A. 1988) Cooper also emphasised “Mixed-mode refers to a hybrid approach to space conditioning that uses a combination of natural ventilation from operable windows (either manually or automatically controlled), and mechanical systems that include air distribution equipment and refrigeration equipment for cooling. A well-designed mixed-mode building begins with intelligent facade design to minimize cooling loads. It then integrates the use of airconditioning when and where it is necessary, with the use of natural ventilation whenever it is feasible or desirable, to maximize comfort while avoiding the significant energy use and operating costs of yearround air conditioning.” In this design approach, FUC system is used for basement gallery space and individual chambers from first to second floor. Basement gallery requires controlled internal environment where expensive paintings will be exhibited through the space and without natural light penetration, FUC is highly suitable to bring fresh air and controlled temperature to the space and provide adequate internal environment for the users and equipments (electrical distribution and exhibition items). Individual Chambers are private and enclosed rooms with double height up to 10m high. The space itself has openings from diagnosed facade to allow natural ventilation but FUC system will enhance the internal environment control and provide high standard comfort for the users.

03.3 Lighting Strategy

03.31

As a ritualistic space, lighting plays an very important role as interior quality. Different room and space has different requirements of light and dark and privacy.

Natural and Mechanical Lighting

At different time of the year, sun light and moon light will be allowed to penetrate the space at certain time as part of the ritual. Basement galley space usually have mechanical lighting and slight natural light penetrate from the centre of the spiral staircase during the daytime. During the day time, the Dining Hall at ground level has symmetrical openings and allow natural light to come into the space and cast different shadows through the day. During the night time, Mechanical lighting will play different atmosphere for the dining space and concourse area.

Fig 03.31a Kunsthaus Bregenz Gallery Space Peter Zumthor Austria

Double spaced individual chambers are enclose private space which has facade openings but also utilise mechanical lighting when needed. Meditation room at top of the building is the most private space that only utilise the natural roof sky light or moon light during the evening.

04.1 Building Construction Strategy

04.11 In-situ and Precast Concrete Construction (External)

Sanctuary Hall is a ritualistic dining space which has been the core spatial focus within the whole institute complex. The design for the dining hall has applied a lot of geometrical volumes to express heavy, raw and mysterious atmosphere as a spatial quality. But at the same time to give a minimal and contemporary approach in architecture construction. To achieve such a geometrical relationship as a building fabric and construction, concrete construction has been selected for one of the main constructions method. The design concept via external constructional method divided into In-situ and Precast Concrete construction.

Fig 04.11a Men fixing shuttering for construction of ‘Easiform’ housing in Bristol, possibly part of the Patchway development. ‘Easiform’ was a method of in situ pre-cast concrete construction which John Laing and Son Ltd developed from 1919 onwards.

The design was also inspired by architect Felix Candela who utilised In-situ Concrete construction to achieve large curved wall system with such height and scale.

04.1 Building Construction Strategy

04.12 Precast Concrete and Timber Frame Construction (Internal)

The internal design approach is to create a ritualistic space for the client who has religious members to come to the Sanctuary Hall for formal dinner and other ritual events throughout the time. The external construction has a raw, hard and minimal finish, but the transition into the interior will be intricate, delicate and light. More sophisticated precast concrete will be the “core” of the internal building constructions which is secondary construction. The timber frame is also primary construction which is “sitting” on the top of In-situ concrete wall systems. It is supporting roof structure and precast rain screen concrete cladding externally.

Fig 04.12a Timber Frame Church with Hammer Beam Trusses

Timber beam truss system was inspired by the Hammerbeam roof construction. But in this design approach, the timber beam construction was altered and re-designed to accommodate the intricate internal curved spatial design quality. Because of timber’s flexibility, the timber truss will be prefabricated into the shape and form that compromise the design requirements and deliver to the site at Phase 04.

1-Excavation for pile foundation, water features and landscape preparation

Construction Sequence

2- In-situ concrete pile foundation Installation 3- Precast curved concrete internal walls form basement to second floor level 4- In-situ concrete casting on site fire escape core (walls, stairs and landings) 5- Secondary precast internal concrete walls and circular bridges 6- External In-situ concrete walls casting on site 7- Precast diagonal concrete supporting “column” installation on site 8- Third floor level prefabricated timber truss and frame system installation 9- External concrete rain screen panels (cladding) finish installation

Fig 04.42a “The construction of deep station boxes and shafts on Crossrail has necessitated the re-emergence of diaphragm walling. A diaphragm wall is formed from panels and the wall constructed by digging each panel section in sequence using bentonite slurry to support the excavation. Following excavation, massive reinforcement cages are lifted into place and the slurry is replaced with concrete. Taken from ‘The changing face of diaphragm wall cage construction’, “by Emma Walsh of Byrne Looby.

10- Landscape construction (gardens and “lakes”)

04.4 Construction Strategy

04.43 Constraints

Stationers’ Dining Hall utilized In-situ and precast concrete construction throughout the 80% of the project. Precast concrete technology is one of the most popular used construction. This technology provides the opportunity to the industrialize building construction and thus enhance the availability and quality of building. With regard to the design process of precast concrete building, architectural and technological concepts have to be transferred into building systems by iterative processes. Such as rain screen cladding for the Dining Hall. Although precast concrete technology is an offshoot of reinforced concrete technology, its structural nature and construction process is not the same: its identification with the concept of industrialization makes this technology quite different from cast-inplace concrete. On the other hand, the processes of precasting, of transportation and handling, and of the erection of precast concrete building systems give significant advantages to building systems, but they pose technological constraints to as well.
