INTRODUCTION
PROGRAMME / MAIN CONCEPT MIXED PROGRAM PUBLIC FACILITY LIBRARY + ART GALLERY The Bishopsgate Good Yard site which is within both Boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Hackney and bordering the city of London. Bishopsgate Goods Yard was used as a logistics node until 1964 and has been lying disused awaiting the construction of East London Line (ELL) extension. The Linear form of the site along with the railway lines acts as a dividing line running east-west. Over the years, adjoining areas have turned their back on the goods yard leading to a number of derelict site. Bishopsgate good yards is located on the cusp of a number of boroughs including the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, London Borough of Hackney, London Borough of Islington and the city of London. The site is undergoing a transformation with the construction of the East London Line and the opening of the Shoreditch High Street Station, opening up the area to increased to the city. A Gate House is a building enclosing or accompanying a gateway for a castle, manor house, fort, town or similar buildings of importance. Its often lived in by someone employed to take care of it. Its also a structure consisting of two large tower that support the gate. The gate house often large enough to house a standing guard and are considered the strongest defensive positions in the castle. Art House is a place that educate public towards arts. The House provides education programs and activities that can be participate by public that range from children to adult. The Art House function as medium to introduce awareness towards the community about the Public Art. The Art House act as a gateway, entrance from the North part to the South part, containing the art within.

PLANNING POLICY
SEC. 1
SECTION 1
PLANNING POLICY 1.10 - Strategic Policy Transgression The primary source for policies pertaining to my project is the National Planning Policy Framework. It was published by the UK’s Department of Communities and Local Government in March 2012, consolidating over two dozen previously issued documents called Planning Policy Statements (PPS) and Planning Policy Guidance Notes (PPG) for use in England; London Plan 2004; Local Plan for borough of Tower Hamlett and borough of tower Hackney. There are a number of items in the current proposed which are not in compliance of the policy. This shall be discussed further. The proposal is a Art House (Educational Building) located at the Bishopsgate Goods Yard, next to the Shoreditch High Street Overground From the National Planning Policy Framework; there are several Planing Policy that are related to my proposal such as: > Building a strong, competitive economy. > Ensuring the vitality of town center. > Requiring good design. From the London Plan 2004; there are several chapters that are related to my proposal such as: > Chapter 4: Economy. From the Borough of Hackney there are several in Hackney Unitary Plan (UDP) that are related to my proposal such as: > Chapter 10: Art, Culture & Entertainment
The National Planning Policy provides a framework to produce distinctive local and neighbourhood plans by the local people and their accountable councils which reflect the needs and priorities of the community. International and national bodies have set out broad principles of sustainable development. Resolution 42/187 of the United Nations General Assembly defined sustainable development as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. the UK Sustainable Development Strategy Securing the Future set out five ‘guiding principles’ of sustainable development: living within the planet’s environmental limits; ensuring a strong, healthy and just society; achieving a sustainable economy; promoting good governance; and using sound science reponsibly reponsibly.1 There are 3 dimension to sustainable development that give rise to the need for the planning system to perform a number of roles: > An economic role - contributing to building a strong, rensponsive and competitive economy, by ensuring that sufficient land of the right type is available in the right places and at the right time to support growth and innovation; and by identifying and coordinating development requirements. The proposal ‘Art House’ contribute to the local economy by providing the facilities and spaces for the Boxpark Shoreditch. The proposal also sit on the empty plot of land which can improve economy between the north area and the south area which currently separated by the site boundary. > A social Role - supporting strong, vibrant and healty communities, by providing the supply of housing required to meet the needs of present and future generations; and by creating a high quality built environment, with accesible local services that reflect the community’s needs and support its health, social and cultural well-being. With the proposal, it does not supply the community with housing needs but it supply with services that will promote the surrouding communities. The programs allow the communities to enhance its cultural environment and reflect back the community to the public. With the proposal it also enhance the circulation of public in and out of the site proposal. > An environmental role - contributing to protecting and enhancing our natural, built and historic enviroment; and , as part of this, helping to improve biodiversity, use natural resources prudently, minimise waste and pollution, and mitigate and adapt to climate change including moving to a low carbon economy. The proposal protects the historic of the site by restoring the remaining arches of the Bishopsgate site. the proposal enhance the usage of natural lighting to minimise the carbon output.

National Planning Policy Framework, www.communities.gov.uk
> BUILDING A STRONG, COMPETITIVE ECONOMY The government is committed to securing economic growth in order to create jobs and prosperity, building on the country’s inherent strengths, and to meeting the twin challenges of global competition and of a low carbon future. investment in business should not be over-burdened by the combined requirments of planning policy expectations. it should recognise to address potential barriers to investment, including a poor environment or any lack infrastructure or services. Set out clear economic vision and strategy for the area which positively and proactively encourages sustainable economic growth. The proposal set out a strategy to tackle the economy of the site by engaging the proposal with the communities economic growth. The market and the boxpark are the main community economic sources that will be impliment into the proposal. Support the existing business sectors, taking account of whether they are expanding or contracting and, where possible, identity and plan for the new or emerging sectors likely to locate in the site. The proposal will incorporate with the existing business sector such as the Boxpark community, the market community and the art community to expand the sector to the next level. by providing the spaces for the community to expand their business and emerging the identity of the site will enhance the local economic growth. Identify priority area for economic regeneration, infrastructure provision and environmental enhancement. The proposal sit in a location where the tranportation is, such as the Shoreditch High Street Overground, Bus Stop and Taxi Stand. This will enhance the potential of the site to grow in terms of economic. > ENSURING THE VITALITY OF TOWN CENTER Planning policies should be positive, promote competitive town center environments and set out policies for the management and growth of centers over the plan period. local planning authorities should promote competitives town centers that provide costumer choice and a diverse retail offer. With the engagement of the Market and the Boxpark, this will create positive competition between the local to incease local economy. By retaining and enhance existing markets and, where appropriate, re-introduce or create new ones, ensuring that markets remain attractive and competitive. The proposal impliment the local street art culture to promote the art market to the public. This will create a new market for the art community to sell their arts. the existing boxpark shoredicth, the market and the football pitch will also be improve by impliment this program to the proposal. When assessing application for retail, leisure and office development outside of town center, which are not in accordance with an upto-date local plan, local planning authorities should require an impact assessment if the development is over a proportionate, locally set floorspace threshold (if there is no locally set threshold, the default threshold is 2500 sqm). this should include assessment of the impact of the proposal on existing, committed and planned public and private investment in a centers in the catchment area of the proposal. > REQUIRING GOOD DESIGN The Government attaches great importance to the design of the built environment. Good design is a key aspect of sustainable development, is indivisible from good planning, and should contribute positively to making places better for people. Local and neighbourhood plans should develop robust and comprehensive policies that set out the quality of the development that will be expected for the area. it should aim to ensure that development will function well and add to the overall quality of the area, not just for the short term but over the lifetime of the development. The proposal impliment a permanent program that will increase the quality of the local community. The existing boxpark is temporary but with the proposal, it will make the boxpark program be permanent to increase local economy. Establish a strong sense of place, using streetscapes and buildings to create attractive and comfortable places to live, work and visit. The proposal are using the local streetscape as the concept of the design to enhance local art. The usage of the exterior wall as a canvas to the local artist to express their arts. By respond to local character and history, the proposal respond to the chracteristic of the site and history by designing a building according to the existing arches in the site. This reflect the identity of local surrounding and materials. its also visually attractive as a result of good architecture and appropriate lanscaping.

Tower Hamlets Planning Guidance (previously known as Local Development Framework) Development Planning (london Plan, DPDs & Neighbouring Plan) Local Plan > LONDON PLAN 2004: CHAPTER 4: ECONOMY
Development Plan Document, (DPDs)
The London Plan seeks to support and develop London’s World City Status as a world economy. In policy terms, the London Plan seeks a range of premises of different types, sizes and costs to meet needs of different sectors of the economy and firms of different types and sizes. In addition, the office market should be supported by an increase in stock and a variety of types of sizes. The plan designates a series of Opportunity Areas which have particular development and economic potential. In general, it is envisaged that these should include a mix of uses. Particular emphasis is placed on support for innovation, tourism and creative industries, and improving skills.

SPDs and other specific tools
The proposal introduce a new economy sector to the local community by engaging the local economy into the proposal program. The proposal include a public library that gives out the services to the local and art facilities to the local art community, this will increase local economic growth. The proposal will emphasis the program that support for innovation, tourism and creative industries, and improving skills. > BOROUGH OF HACKNEY: CHAPTER 10: ART, CULTURE & ENTERTAINMENT Hackney has a larger creative and artistic community per head of population than any other area in western Europe. Growth in arts activities has been identified and fostered in the borough since the 1970s with considerable benefits for the cultural life of the area. This is coupled with the second largest number of London’s grant aided groups. Almost half of the population is made up of black and other ethnic minority communities including African, Caribbean, Asian, Cypriot, Turkish/Kurdish, Orthodox Jewish, Irish. This rich cultural diversity is reflected in the balance of arts organisations and individual artists in the Borough. The local community mostly is art community, with the proposal providing a facilities for the art community, it will emphasis the local interest and allocate the street art community to one center. the proposal will improve the existing visual of the site by implimenting local art. Conclusion: The proposal seems to fulfill the planning guidelines in terms of creating a programme that promotes the enhancement of the public realm, bringing people and nature together, contributing a sense of place by celebrating the Art culture of shoreditch as well as providing a centre that educate the public. It also encourages the utilisation of public transportation, However, the location of the proposal requires more sensitive design consideration in response to dealing with the Highstreet Overground due to its location in the site. Transportational access directly to the site might be limited. Lastly, the proposal should take full advantage on creating a high quality environment design that promotes social & ecological sustainability in the long run. Borough of Hackneys

iv) Transport - Public transport (Bus and Overground) are near to the site (Art House).
vi) The building within the height of the Shoreditch High Street Ovegroung - compare to surrounding building
vii) Noise/ Smell/ visual pollution from the Lucozade Powerleague Shoreditch.
i) In the respect of the site, I believe the design proposal is situated well within the context. It re-invigorates the dead space within the boundary of Bishopsgate Good yard. The Art House involves three main uses, Art Library, a Theater and Art Center. None of which causes too much noise in terms of crowd activity, even so, the location is far from housing and commercial that would be disturbed by this programs. Materials of the wall shall have a sound buffering qualities to counter any excessible noise eminating from the site or in to the site. ii) The scale of the project sits well in its context, with relatively small total area of 6688 m2. The height of the project peaks at 12.0 meter and does not create an obvious visual obstructions to the building surrounding as the surrounding building is higher than the Art House. iii) One problem that may arise would be the transportation access to the project, because the site initially is not an area for transportation to go in. An allocation for parking or vehicular circulation on the site was not a primary concern. By utilizing the existing facilities and transportation services, visitors may park their vehicles in existing parking lots within the area of Bishopsgate Good Yards close to the site. Visitors are highly encouraged to use public transport as bus routes and Shoreditch High Street schedules to the site are efficient and reliable.

ii) No problem accessing the site as it can be access from every side of the building.
v) The original proposal did not include allocation for disable parking bay. Again, for ease of access the disabled parking bay should be provide close to the principle entrance from the A10 (Commercial Street). The parking layout should be designed carefully as to not interfere with services and does not pose any risks to the disabled. vi) The neighbouring (Lucozade Powerleague Shoreditch) may cause noise/ smell/ visual pollution to the community of the Art House. Should reconsider redesigning the facade facing the powerleague shoreditch and design a screening system that would provide a divider for the neighbouring facility that addresses the issue and maintain privacy for both sides. vii) The materiality of the project was chosen based on the material of the site’s safety measures. the open planning Art House is consisted of treated pre-cast concrete structure as the primary shear wall. The floor and roof slab are also from the same kind of material. The hole window are made from fire rated glass. All material were carefully chosen to perform with specific characteristic and with the intentions to blend the building with its surrounding in terms of colour and texture. >> The Art House surely benefits the local community (Art Community) with the changing facility and a canvas for the graffity community to express their design. The injection of the Art Theater programme into the design proposal brings something new to the site and the users.
viii) Materials chosen for the building are system of surfaces that directly perform in reaction to the site environmental activity.

SECTION 1 : ACCESS TO BUILDINGS OTHER THAN DWELLING
Lower Ground Floor Plan
The Art House is purposely designed as an open air structure in Compartment 2 and close structure in Compartment 1 with intention of creating a transition from outdoor to indoors through spaces. The site chosen is due to its potential of having easy access to public transportation (overgound, bus and taxi). This means that the existing pedestrians and cyclists that goes through the site gain access every direction. There no on site parking provided.
i- handrails at height 1000mm on both site should be provided at the principal entrance ii- There are sufficient space for the people to approach the building ass the building can be approach from every direction as its a open space planning The current proposal doesn’t have public toilet, reconsider to propose public toilet on lower ground floor
Access to the lower ground floor is through the ramp located at 4 different location with no doors needed as its a semi public area
iii- the ramp surfaces should be slip resistants material especially when its wet, and a colour that contrasts visually that of the landings. a hazard warning surface shall be provided at the bottom and top landings as a warning of change level iv- corridors and passagesways of the art house should be made wide enough to ease people to access to the building. a minimum width 1500 should be adequate fro wheelchair user to turn 180o. the current proposal have a corridor minimum of 5 meter, it compliance to the requirement.

ORIEL MOSTYN GALLERY
ELLIS WILLIAMS ARCHITECTS, LLANDUDNO, 2010
Gallery building with the addition of four new galleries, a cafe, shop and education spaces around a concrete circulation core
Begun: Jul 2007 Completed: May 2010 Floor area: 2,000m2 Sector: Arts and culture Procurement: Demolition – JCT Minor Works 2005; main works – JCT 2005 with quantities CO2 Emissions: 45.32kg/m2/year Address: 12 Vaughan Street, Llandudno, LL30 1AB, United Kingdom Total cost: £5.1M This reinforced concrete element, cast in situ, works partly in conjunction with new structural steelwork but is not itself a primary structural element. The uninterrupted timber boardmarked finish uses 100mm sand-blasted boards to give a consistent defined texture, while the floor, again in in-situ concrete, has a smooth hand-trowelled finish. Triangular concrete ceiling fins connecting the two main walls were designed to create directional daylight, illuminating the concrete without glare. The aluminium glazing system spanning over the fins utilises very large glass panels. A primary stair formed in the same board-marked in situ concrete bridges the space, connecting the ground with an upper floor gallery and café. The positioning of this kinked form was driven by the location of these spaces. Locally sourced materials were used for the prescribed mix, achieving the desired lightness without the need for artificial additives, and also gave a very high strength level. The glass balustrade at the café’s edge, overlooking the Tube, is a single 19mm toughened sheet, cantilevered from a stainless steel clamping arrangement and bolted to the inside of the concrete, with all fixings hidden beneath the floor finish. The engineered oak floor of the café continues down the stair with inset stainless steel nosing and a continuous oak handrail on both sides.

The materials of the project is a bit similar to the proposal ‘art house’ for the arches that is concrete element, cast in situ and partly conjunction with structural steelwork for the roof structure of the proposal. there are timber board flooring use in the workshop area in the proposal similar with the project that i choose for my example of projects. The usage of port holes on the wall to allow the natural light into the area is similar with the concrete ceiling fins that give directional daylight and illuminating the concrete without glare.

MAXXI: MUSEUM OF XXI CENTURY ARTS ZAHA HADID ARCHITECTS, ROME, 2009 Cast on-site in self-compacting concrete, with casts up to 50m long the walls create major streams and minor streams. The major streams providing the gallery spaces and the minor streams the connections and the bridges.

The building is a composition of bending oblong tubes, overlapping, intersecting and piling over each other, resembling a piece of massive transport infrastructure. The structure of the new building of the museum is composed of curved side walls made in self-consolidating concrete, the horizontal structures are mostly made of black-painted steel profiles, sometimes clad with fibre-reinforced concrete panels, as for the roof trusses. The interior space, defined by the walls of the display galleries, are covered by a glass roof that floods the spaces with natural light, filtered between the roof trusses. These latter reinforce the linearity of the spatial system and assist the articulation of the various directions, overlapping and bifurcations of the system of gallery spaces. The honed linearity of the walls facilitates circulation through the campus, inside the galleries and between the objects on display. In opposition to the decisive architectural sign that dominates the exterior spaces and the atrium, a soberer spatial quality characterises the exhibition halls that host the collections of the two museums. A combination of glass (roof), steel (stairs and columns) and concrete (walls) defines the neutral appearance of the display spaces, while moveable panels ensure the flexibility of their use.

SECTION 5
PROJECT COST & PROCUREMENT 5.20 - Initial Cost Estimation from References
5.21 - Cost Estimation of Proposal
This section will calculate the approximation of costs for the building of the proposed Art House, comparibly to the three reference projects.
This subsequent method of calculation was based on SPON’s First Stage Estimating Handbook by Bryan Spain.
The floor area of my project is 6688 m2
ORIEL MOSTYN GALLERY Floor area: 2,000 m Total cost ~ £5.1M
2
Cost of project/sqm = £2,550/sqm
MAXXI: MUSEUM OF XXI CENTURY ART Floor area: 21,200 m2 Total cost ~ £128M Cost of project/sqm = £6,037.73/sqm
Initial Cost Estimation based on references; It is more likely that the Art house cost is more closer to the Oriel Mostyn Gallery, so the estimated cost of proposal will be based on the cost/sqm of the projects.
The ‘Art House’ The proposal is in The Bishopsgate Good Yard site which is in the city area. The proposal is try to rebuild back the arches which currently existing on the site, with implementation of an art program to ehance the local interest which is the street art. The proposal maximum height is about 15 meter and ranging from 4 to 5 meter per floor.
The Art House, Bishopsgate Good yard. The proposal is to construct a single storey with lower ground level; semi-enclosed/ open planing Art house comprising of a Art Library, Theater, Gallery & art facilities; 6,688 square meters in Shoreditch London (Bishopsgate Good Yard). The ground level is designed to have multiple spaces and hosts the Art Library, some areas are to be excavated for the Lower ground floor where the Theater and Boxpark are located (by machine). Demolition some of the existing structures (Brick wall) on site (by machine) and macadam pavings (by machine). Operation shall be at full capacity so tender levels are expected to be high with a 12 month construction period. Main building (Based on Oriel Mostyn Gallery, Llandudno) 6,688 m2 at £2,500/sqm External Works (based on rough quantities & rates) Excavation Breaking up Filling Fencing Drains Lighting Extra for anticipated high tender levels say 6% Allow for inflation say 12 months at @ 4% x £17,921,526 Carried forward
Natural daylight and ventilation for the building user is important especially in the workshop area and the library. so the usage of port holes on the wall to bring in the natural light is the most important part of the building. The facade are mainly pre-cast concrete wall that contain the port holes.

The proposal is near to the overground, bus stops and taxi stand, making the proposal easier to get to by public transport. it will reduce the cost of building a carpark for the proposal.
£ 18,638,387.04
To control the cost there is to be identify certain elements of the project that can be change or replaced. by using a standard glass size for every port holes rather than desinging the size to fit the varies of size of holes. There will be a several visit to monitor the construction been done to ensure there is no fail attempt on the scheduled process of the project. If there is a failure, it will effect the cost of the whole project. Procurement: - Design and Build

With design and build the contractor will have a degree of control, allowing to make design decisions based on its own judgement and financial benefits. its easier for the clients since there is only one point of calling if problems occur. with design and build, contractor can be assign in much earlier in the process. The proposal is a medium scale project, so its easier for the contractor to handle the design and construction process. the contractor can monitor the work in progress and spot if there is problem with design.
TOTAL COST : Taking into consideration of all factors, fees, variations and taxes, the final cost would amount to:
£ 25 .0 M (£ 3,738.00 per square meter)
