Introduction This is a book about architecture level 5 whole academic year work. There are three mainly parts, Dialogues with Urban Context (The Micro VintnerSmall scale), Dialogues with Use and Form (The Music School- Medium scale) and Dialogues with Future Scenarios (The Poole Park Large Scale). All projects are relevant to the town Poole, Dorset, United Kingdom. Basic focus on the Poole high street, the local music culture for example Light house and the leisure in Poole Park. Poole is a wonderful place attracts thousands of tourists every year, the old town and new connects together. Therefore, it becomes a popular place for architecture study.

ĺş?xu

In this book, there will be a brief document to talk about these three projects separate into different chapters. However, they are still connected together with a green route, become the most attraction and interesting places in Poole.

Poole is a coastal town located on the south coast of England, in the southwest of Dorset. This area dates back before the Iron Age, and the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was given in the 12th Century. The town is famous for its port which is one of the most important ports in Britain with a population over 145,000. Poole is also an area that contains an old town and new town connected with a high street.

Step5 Barrel Wine making can be divided into two general categories: still wine production (without carbonation) and sparkling wine production (with carbonation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; natural or injected). The science of wine and winemaking is known as oenology. A person who makes wine is traditionally called a winemaker or vintner.

Wine Making process

Once the grapes have been picked and transported to the winery, certain preparatory steps must be taken before the actual winemaking can begin. Cleanliness and sanitation are essential for good winemaking, as troublesome bacteria can cause disastrous results. Equipment must be sanitized with an O2 based caustic solution, rinsed with water, and finally treated with an anti-bacterial sulfite solution. To rid the equipment of excess sulfite, everything is rinsed with water one more time (The Grape Escape, 10/12/00). It is estimated that approximately ten gallons of good quality water are needed for every one gallon of wine produced. Upon arriving at the winery, grapes are treated with 5075 ppm of free sulfur dioxide. This process is called sulfating, and inhibits the unwanted microorganisms and wild yeast species on the grapes (Vine, 1981).

Eroica

Eroica race Eroica is a Italian cycle club which provide nice route for people to cycle around the country. People can eat food and drink water during the long race. Every year on the first weekend of October there is the opportunity for us all to have a small slice of this history. L’Eroica or “The Heroic” is the event, and Italy is the location. Poole is a place where suit for people cycling. So it become a wonderful new idea that combined wine and bike together. To make a place for cyclist to get some wine and chat together but not drunk.

Introduction, Arc 550

Serial vision is a creative form of communication used to illustrate the narrative of an architectural journey. The assignment given consisted of an excursion through Poole, and a documentation of every significant changing moment on this route. By using serial vision as a way to organise this urban analysis, we aim to familiarise ourselves with Poole, and see the town in a new architectural light. Thus, encouraging us to think and see through a new creative perspective. Applying serial vision to Poole proved to be a difficult task, due to the widespread and discontinuous layout of it’s key landmarks. Despite this, there were multiple approaches to the given route that we experienced and analysed. The route began in Poole Park to Poole lighthouse, then continued down to Poole new high street, Poole old town and finally down towards Poole Quay. In order to fully experience serial vision’s full potential as a documentary technique, we needed to discover every possible approach to this route. Taking into consideration the phycology of a human mind in an urban environment, we were able to go with the conscious flow of the streets. This uncovered solely two routes that one could take, where serial vision would be best displayed. It is debatable to some whether serial vision is an effective way of cataloguing an analysis, due to its failure to create an immediate conclusion. However, as a group we progressively began to discover the efficiency of this method. The central areas and one of the most memorable key places of Poole was the central square. This consisted of several buildings including the Lord Wimborne and the café Nero. Without this method of visually analysing an urban space, and using mental imagery as a way of documentation, these key places would have hardly been appreciated or discovered. As a group, approach became a topic that held particular importance to us, and as the project progressed we continued to research into this idea of approach by using serial vision.

Analysis Of Gordon Cullen, Arc 550

‘The concise townscape” by Gordon Cullen is a book that focuses on giving visual uniformity and organisation to the chaotic urban environment. Cullen analyses the phycology, movement and structure of different cities, deepening his and his reader’s perception of urban towns. Serial vision is one of the techniques Cullen demonstrates in his book as a form of analysis. It is an effective and innovative form of communication, used to illustrate an architectural journey. The illustrations capture moments that are most significant to the creator. Here, there are several reasons as to why serial vision translates so successfully. To begin with every illustration is very minimalistic and simple, making them easier to understand and follow. As the illustrations are so clear and graphic, there is no annotation or translation necessary. The images tell the story. Furthermore, Cullen continues to focus on simple views where light and shade are implemented. This creates definition and a realistic interpretation of a moment, continuing to make it easier for the reader to relate it to a real life image. Although serial vision has its positive attributes, it also has its downfalls; it is an individual interpretation of a journey. This can be regarded as biased and unreliable, in the sense that your looking through a single persons eyes and thoughts. Additionally, it is also debatable to some whether serial vision really is an effective way of cataloguing an analysis, due to its failure to create an immediate conclusion. It becomes instantly obvious to the reader that there is a story line being presented by the illustrations. However, because of this, it could immediately spark a “so what? “ factor in the readers minds. The drawings tell a story from start to finish, but what exactly can be concluded from them, and how could this be translated easily for the reader. Conversely, it is arguable that it is this curiosity that adds to the affect of serial vision. Serial vision is a creative form of communication, hopeful to encourage inspiration from its readers to make up their own story, and conclusion from the series of illustrations. What makes serial vision so effective is not just the quality of its drawings, but also the relationship between these moments.

any setting. The route depicted here is through a town rather than a classical looking city the subject matter of the images differs somewhat to Cullen’s. The town has many different environments for many uses in a relatively small area. Depicted firstly is the park showing wide open civic space, used mainly as a thoroughfare by cars and people. It is not all together an un-urban environment but serves as an area for leisure and relaxation in a busy town. The second image is after exiting the park the road meets with a busy roundabout used by shoppers and commuters alike, it signifies the arrival to the urban areas of Poole along the route taken. Thirdly is the centre for arts named The Lighthouse. Investment a few years ago allowed construction work to be carried out internally and externally. Forth, we have an image of one point of access to the Dolphin Shopping Centre, main retail area in Poole under the one roof. This is a surprisingly understated doorway to such a widely used municipal space lacking in signage and aesthetic elements. The fifth image is another point for ingress and egress the latter in this case for the purpose of this journey. It opens into an open space ‘Falkland Square,’ used on occasion for market stalls and public displays, directly ahead is the start of the new high street. The doorway here is more prominent with more openings for footfall traffic but equally lacks aesthetic quality. In the evenings after shops have closed it remains a space for public use providing more agreeable means of reaching the buses and taxis rather than circumventing the centre past either the bus depot or retail delivery amenities not the most welcoming parts at night. The sixth image is the new high street, home to many more shops not what you would call high end. Consisting of newer facades, only hard landscaping, a few benches and herring bone red brick is the ground surface

material laid up to the point where new and old high streets converge. The seventh image is the old town high street slightly more back water with a selection of odd shops and older buildings situated toward the quay end of the route. The high street surface here is still red brick but is broken up with older stone block work. The penultimate image eight shows the modern museum near Poole's quay, which amongst other attractions comprise one of Poole's more popular tourist areas. Finally the last image of the group’s serial views is that of the aforementioned quay with its changing buildings from various historic periods and varying use. The group found overall it was a logical, simple yet powerful way to convey ones experience of a route.The following is an insert of a summary from her book, by a Tutor at Portsmouth University pertaining to the subject of serial vision and her thoughts towards its applications. “The first impression we have of a place is critical. Our personal interpretations of the overall character of a site will inform subsequent design decisions, and it is important to record these honestly and immediately. The idea of a personal journey around a site and the interpretation of it is something that Gordon Cullen focuses upon when he describes the concept of ‘serial vision’ in his book Concise Townscape. This concept suggests that the area under study is drawn as a map, and a series of points are then identified on it, each one indicating a different view of the site. These views are then sketched out as small thumbnails, which offer personal impressions of the sites space. Serial vision is a useful technique to apply to any site (or building), in order to explain how it operates spatially and to identify its significance. The visuals can be created either as a series of sketches or as photographs of the journey, as long as they are assembled and read in sequence” – Lorraine Farrelly, The Fundamentals of Architecture, P17.

Conclusion, Arc 550

To Conclude Gordon Cullen shows an excellent example for the visual re¬¬presentation technique known as ‘serial views’ in his book the concise townscape. He depicts a sequence of eight simple yet quite elegant line drawings that clearly show framed views of a city that follow from one to the next in series. These drawings are lightly shaded showing real depth and perspective which really gives a feeling of the first person. In the first picture the back ground serves as the foreground for the next and so on with the proceeding images. These then effectively relate to a similarly simple but accurate location plan. These work well when read in conjunction and we can start to better understand what is represented by the images to bear further context. The group found using this system was a good method in conveying details of surroundings. The brief study of an area has no definite beginning or conclusion with serial views, it is mainly down to the illustrator to convey their intention in as many frames as they may choose. Here are the drawings produced by group 2 chosen for representation of the technique. The group found it is a good way of visually describing a series of areas or ‘moments’ along a journey. The study that was undertaken here was a route through the town of Poole; areas were picked out as significant along the way begining at the entrance to Poole Park and finishing at the quay, passing through the town via the lighthouse, dolphin centre, newer and older parts of the high street. Though the groups serial views relate to the map in the same way, distance between points studied for sketches are considerably further apart than Cullen’s example. The groups’ sketches of the area approaching next cannot be seen, this was not considered a negative, merely an alternative way to show versatility of serial views. it was felt a good indication that this style of representation for a journey works well in

Chapter Two The Music School

LO1 SITE INFORMED NARRATIVE 5.0 BRIEF

Site analysis and influence

A music school is an educational institution specialized in the study, training and research of music. Such an institution can also be known as a school of music, music academy, music faculty, college of music, music department (of a larger institution) or conservatory. Instruction includes training in the performance of musical instruments, singing, musical composition, conducting, musicianship, as well as academic and research fields such as musicology, music history and music theory.

There are 28 music schools in Poole and Bournemouth. Near the centre of the Poole are 5 mainly music schools around which has been shown at the right side. Clives, Guitar lessons Poole - The Dorset guitar school, Centre for Wessex young musicians, North road music centre and Africâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arts- drumming. The yellow circle shows the infulence of the music school might be. In the middle is the music school located opposite to the train station, next to the Light house. The red dot describe inside the area residents can reach the music school in 10 minutes by walk. Moreover, the bigger circle shows peolple can arrive the music school around 30 minutes on foot.

Climate Due to its location on the south coast of England, Poole has a temperate climate with a small variation in daily and annual temperatures. The average annual mean temperature from 1971 to 2000 was 10.2 to 12 °C (50.4 to 53.6 °F).The warmest months in Poole are July and August, which have an average temperature range of 12 to 22 °C (54 to 72 °F), and the coolest months are January and February, which have a range of 2 to 8.3 °C (35.6 to 46.9 °F).Mean sea surface temperatures range from 6.9 °C (44.4 °F) in February to 18.5 °C (65.3 °F) in August. The average annual rainfall of 592.6 millimetres (23.33 in) is well below the UK average of 1,126 millimetres (44.3 in). So, the climate is always fine and Poole is one of the best place for students study in England.

Land use

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Land useâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is also often used to refer to the distinct land use types in zoning. Zoning is a device of land-use planning used by local governments in most developed countries. The word is derived from the practice of designating permitted uses of land based on mapped zones which separate one set of land uses from another. Zoning may be use-based (regulating the uses to which land may be put, also called functional zoning), or it may regulate building height, lot coverage (density), and similar characteristics, or some combination of these. Similar urban planning methods have dictated the use of various areas for particular purposes in many cities from ancient times.

Sun Path

The sunpath analysis2

The sunpath of music school

The sunpath analysis1

Sun path refers to the apparent significant seasonaland-hourly positional changes of the sun (and length of daylight) as the Earth rotates, and orbits around the sun. The relative position of the sun is a major factor in the heat gain of buildings and in the performance of solar energy systems. Accurate location-specific knowledge of sun path and climatic conditions is essential for economic decisions about solar collector area, orientation, landscaping, summer shading, and the cost-effective use of solar trackers. These are several pictures shows the sun path of north earth. Also, some hand drawing and early photoshop montage drawing has been shown below. Because there have no buildings at the north of the music school. So, most of the school area have plenty of sun shine, espacilly for the green garden, roof garden and playgrounds which is perfectly help to develop a clean space for children grow up.

Google Tel Aviv in Israel by Camenzind Evolution At the end of December 2012, Google Israel has opened its spectacular new 8’000 m2 offices in Tel Aviv for their ever growing teams of engineers, sales and marketing. Designed by Swiss Design Team Camenzind Evolution, in collaboration with Israeli Design Teams Setter Architects and Studio Yaron Tal, the new Google office now occupies 8 floors in the prestigious Electra Tower in Central Tel Aviv, with breath taking views across the whole city and the sea.

Google Tel Aviv in Israel is one of the best work space around the world. It is famous for the warm environment and home atmosphere. Every single detail has been well designed and organised. Such as the cafe with plenty of sun shine and white sofa to make sure the seats would not be so hot. The Google logo also appear at everywhere to build the company awareness. Sometimes, the ceiling might not be decorated or blocked, it still looks nice with the surrounding environment. A slide has been created connect with the office and rest area. Not only for children to play, but also for adult to relax. If it is raining outside, the worker can stay inside and stand on the artificial grass or sit on the bench and have a cup of tea to taste the raining city.

Architects: Camenzind Evolution Project: Google Tel Aviv Location: Tel Aviv, Israel Photography: Itay Sikolski Floor Area: 8’000 m2 Completion: End of December 2012 Number of Workstations: 490 It is a new milestone for Google in the development of innovative work environments: nearly 50% of all areas have been allocated to create communication landscapes, giving countless opportunities to employees to collaborate and communicate with other Googler’s in a diverse environment that will serve all different requirements and needs. There is clear separation between the employees traditional desk based work environment and those communication areas, granting privacy and focus when required for desk based individual working and spaces for collaboration and sharing ideas. Each floor was designed with a different aspect of the local identity in mind, illustrating the diversity of Israel as a country and nation. Each of the themes were selected by a local group of Googlers, who also assisted in the interpretation of those chosen ideas.

Google Tel Aviv Level 29 Plan

It is hard to find a place looks like an office area, instead every area makes people to feel they have come to a playground or on holiday. This is the key concept, not only for companies, but also for schools, especially for music school. Students have to face instruments and bear noise every day. A playground look like music school is what they need indeed. The music school is trying to reach this point. There are 5 cafe in totoal. More relax areas than practice rooms. Cafes, green space and playgrounds to let students to live in a environmental area.

Google Tel Aviv Slide

The ‘Campus Tel Aviv’, powered by Google for Entrepreneurs, is a new hub for entrepreneurs and developers, providing a base for start-up companies, and is only the second Google ‘Campus’ worldwide. Sustainability played a vital role to Google in the development of their new Tel Aviv offices and the project is currently awaiting LEED ‘Platinum’ certification, the first of its category in Israel.

Kic Park in Shanghai, China by 3GATTI Architecture Studio

A playground is a place for people to relax and it is does not have to be too big, such as Kic Park. (Fig. 23) Although, this is a really tiny park in the central of residential area. It bring lively to people. People can seat on the timber and enjoy the dawn, even at night it still a good place to stay. It is a 24 hours playground for everyone.(Fig. 25) The design of the playground is quite unique. The initial idea is just take a piece of paper and curve several rectangle on it, and then try to make some timber seats and green space in the middle. It is looks so simple, even the idea. However, when it has been built and local people engage with this small playground. It suddenly shows the power of the little timber green space.

Kik Park is a leftover urban area that Francesco Gatti is surprised to see has escaped being built-up and which is positioned at the entrance to the Kic Village, constructed in recent years for the students at the nearby universities of Fudan and Tongji. Since 2005 when the Italian architect transferred part of his professional activities to China he has recurrently been interested in the possibility of designing interstice spaces – as in the case of the In Factory JingAn Six Loft Buildings (2006), where the outside areas of the redevelopment project were treated on a par with a residential and work environment.

The music school are trying to create some spaces like this on the roof (Fig. 55). So that people can seat on the roof have a better view. Also the roof can get more sunshine during the sunny day.

This is the case with Kic Park where Francesco Gatti has imagined a pleated wooden floor destined to be suitable for all the functions that are indispensible in a public area (seats, green spaces, pathways, publicity panels …). Kic Park night

Precedent typology analyses The practise room of Berklee College of Music is rectangle. But the decoration of the room made it look different and more round. There are several sound absorption on the walls . Sound equipments set in the corner. Plenty of light bring a bright environment. The audio production and teaching complex is comprised of five inter-related components. The 1600 sq. ft. scoring stage/studio – Studio K – includes an 860 sq. ft. live room with 15-foot ceilings and boasts variable acoustic wall treatments developed for diverse recording configurations. The studio’s windows provide fantastic views of the Palau and allow the public to view Berklee’s music activities. Berklee College of Music, practice room Supporting the live room is a 500 sq. ft. control room, two 250 sq. ft. ISO/overdub booths, and an isolated machine room. The aggregate advantages of the control room configuration fully supports Berklee’s primary teaching mandate. Each aspect of the studio coalesces to form an indisputably world-class recording complex.

Information Saldus Music and Art School The building of Music and Art school comprises two schools working separately until now. The classrooms are placed on perimeter, while practicing halls and libraries in the middle of the building. Light courtyards are the result of the compact plan, providing a lot of daylight and reflected light in the middle of the school, and at the same time being the space for both schools to interact. Green colour in interior marks the Music school, while the blue is for the Art school. Architects: MADE arhitekti Project: Saldus Music and Art School Location: Saldus, Latvia Photography: Ansis Starks Client: Regional Municipality of Saldus Project: 2007—2009 Construction: 2011—2013 Size: 4179 m2 (including courtyards 339 m2) Graphic design: Zigmunds Lapsa Large thermal inertia of the building and integrated floor heating delivers even temperature regime. Facade, consisting of massive timber panels, covered with profile glass, is a part of energy efficient natural ventilation system, preheating inlet air during winter. Massive wood wall with lime plaster accumulates humidity, providing the good climate for people as well as for musical instruments inside the classrooms. Building structure and materials work as passive environmental control at the same time exhibiting it’s functionality. Inner concrete walls and through the glass visible outside massive wood wall exhibit their natural origin, which we find as an important issue especially at the institutions of education. There is no single painted surface on a facade of school building, every material share its natural colour and texture.

Precedent typology analyses Saldus Music and Art School is a quite natural school. First of all, as can be seen from the facade, the material is timber and the inside is just original concrete wall. The similar as the music school with railway sleepers column and ground. All good schools should have a playground to let students grow up in a happy atmosphere. There are several types of the playground, grass, pubble, water even concrete ground and so on. The natural materials some time help student to be more environmental and more creativity. One of the obvious feature about Saldus Music and Art School is the big window and warm yellow lights to make the school more like a home instead of a music prison. There are many windows has been created for the music school.

Saldus Music and Art School hall analysis

Saldus Music and Art School hall

The hall of the school is quite unique. There is a big window in the middle of the side wall to allow more light come into the small hall. Another feature of this hall is the shape of the wall. To avoid too much reverberation sometime. So an unshaped wave white wall has been designed. Finally, Saldus Music and Art School try to paint different colours to separate different use of the room. For example, the blue is for Art school students use only. On the other hand, green is stand for music school area. It is a good strategy to separate different areas by colour. The Music school is going to use the similar methods as well.

Vitotrol 350-RF Product: Vitocal 350-A air heat pump Manufacturer: Veissmann Website: http://www.viessmann.co.uk/ With the Vitocal 350-A air / water heat pump, with a nominal heat output of 10.6 to 18.5 kW, modernising is easy. Developed by Viessmann, the additional vapour injection in the compression process (EVI cycle) enables flow temperatures up to 65 째 C - even with chilly outside air temperatures. The air / water heat pump can work very well in older systems where radiators are installed.

Vitotrol 300-RF Product: Vitotrol 300-RF Manufacturer: Veissmann Website: http://www.viessmann.co.uk/ With the Vitotrol 300 RF wireless remote control unit, users always have access to their heating system right at their fingertips. The large colour touch screen display with clear functions makes the operation even easier than on the Vitotronic 200, which is fitted to the boiler itself. The Vitotrol 300 RF is sited with its charging dock inside the living space , either on a table top or wall mounted charger, from which the control can be removed for convenient operation. This makes it an ideal choice for retrofitting, as no wiring is required.

Underfloor Heating Product: Floor Screed for Screed Underfloor Heating Manufacturer: hanlonconcrete Website: http://www.hanlonconcrete.ie/Floor-ScreedUnderfloor-Heating.html Floor Screed Underfloor Heating application Where under-floor heating is to be installed, lay the under floor heating system as per manufactures recommendations for use with calcium sulphate screeds. Pipe work needs to be laid on top of the watertight membrane to allow the Floor Screed from Ultrflo to flow around the pipes. Ensure the underfloor heating pipework is mechanically fixed at 400mm centres. Failure to do so will mean the underfloor heating pipe work will float once the floor screed is poured. All wet underfloor heating systems must be pressure tested with water prior to pouring screed and should be left filled with water. This will help reduce the tendency of the pipes to float.

Poole Park now satelite map

Poole Park was systematically designed and created by John Elford between 1888 and 1889. It is one of only two Victorian parks in Poole and the only one of these which contains period buildings. The park was laid out and landscaped for public recreational purposes, in a way that reflects its town centre location, integrating this with an unusual waterside setting. The original design (both concept and physical features) remains largely unaltered and it is still possible to visualise the Park, as it was early in the last century.

1995 Poole Park past map The park is a Grade II Registered Historic Park and Garden8 and was designated as the Poole Park Conservation Area9 in 1995. Locally listed buildings include Seldown Lodge, East Gate Lodge, the Poole Park Pavilion and all the gate piers. The architecture and unique detailing of the Park, such as terracotta gate piers and lighting are of high quality, distinct character, and designed and manufactured locally. There are a number of interesting period features such as the cycle track, all the more unusual for surviving intact in its original setting. 7

Chapter Four Conclusion 77

Conclusion This book is a brief version of architecture level5. Compared with the previous reports, the book improved quite a lot. Some pages have been deleted, some density pages also separated into several page. All image and text have been reformatting again. From the Micro Vintner to the Music school, 60 square meters to 2000 square meters, then finally to the Poole park which is 45 hectares. The scale of the project enlarges every time, but the qualities of the projects also become much better every time. On the other hand, more details have been concerned and put into the brief. However, things can never be perfect, still have room to improve. If any questions, please do not hesistate to contact me. 284439139@qq.com Special thanks to Unit Leader: Channa Vithana Tutor(s): Channa Vithana & Richard Eastham/Richard Patterson Tech Dem: Michelle Lowe Subject Librarian: Andy Calvert Location: Arts University Bournemouth (AUB) Date: 16th May, 2014 Author: Fu Haibin Pages: 24
