1) The following document forms a public realm strategy for the part of the Clyde Walkway which abuts the proposed location of the 2014 Commonwealth Games Athlete’s Village (around the northern apex of the Cuningar Loop) & is undertaken by Aedas Landscape & Environment & FotoMa lighting architects (with KJ Tait M&E engineers). Carr, McLean & Watson have provided quantity surveying support. 2) A tree assessment & woodland management strategy for a larger section of the Clyde Walkway on the north bank of the Clyde from Glasgow Green in the west to Clydeford Road in the east and then onto the south side of the river up to Carmyle weir. This is entitled ‘Survey of Woodland Within the Clyde Gateway Access Project’ & is undertaken by Arboretum Internationale.

The commission is split into two separately bound documents, although they are related relative to the Clyde Walkway;

ET AI

Aedas were appointed by South Lanarkshire Council on behalf of the Clyde Gateway URC and The Glasgow and Clyde Valley Green Network Partnership in May 2008 to look at a key strategic component of the Green Network access infrastructure within the Clyde Regeneration Area. The aim is to enhance the access network to a level that will stimulate a significant increase in public & visitor use. The intention is to set a quality standard that will become a benchmark for future works across the whole Glasgow Clyde Valley area.

STUDY STRUCTURE The study will address the site itself in terms of Land Use, movement & access & how the site links to the Green Network Strategy completed by Land Use Consultants. It will present a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats (SWOT) analysis & also briefly illustrate how other cities on a world scale have addressed their own waterfronts. This will culminate in a concept, a series of sketch ideas, design development & culminates in a Masterplan for the 1.1km section of riverfront.

CLYDE GATEWAY RIVER ACCESS STUDY I JULY 2008

CONTEXT The 2014 Commonwealth Games will provide a lasting legacy for Glasgow and its environs. The village itself will occupy an area adjacent to 1.1km of river waterfront separated from the river by the Clyde Walkway. The walkway will also provide access & proximity to the following facilities (some created specifically for The Games) which will become part of a lasting legacy that residents & visitors will benefit from; • • • •

Celtic Park National Indoor Sports Arena (NISA) Velodrome National Swimming Centre at Tolcross

The first three could become centred around a Commonwealth Plaza – a high quality civic space. These facilities will put additional focus onto the Clyde Walkway as it becomes a major link for pedestrians & cyclists, westwards from & to the city centre and into the heart of the East End Regeneration Area as well as for athlete’s during the Games (as a security measure, this section of the Clyde Walkway is likely to be closed to the general public at this time). The Athlete’s village will consist of approximately 1200 homes with approximately a quarter as social housing. This study builds upon 3 previous studies – • Clyde Gateway Green Network Strategy • Clyde Waterfront Green Network Strategy, • The River Clyde Access Project It has also taken on board access proposals within the GCC Core Paths Plan for river access and referred to the initial Athlete’s Village Masterplan for the 2014 Commonwealth Games Bid document. Also, Gillespie’s Cuningar Loop Masterplan for South Lanarkshire Council envisages a mix-use development within ground formed by the large meander in the river Clyde directly opposite the Games Village with a significant visitor attraction at its heart. Amongst all these various studies are proposals for new Clyde crossing points (with some advocating 4-5) to increase, invigorate & instigate connectivity through the area.

fig. 2 - site location

Priority projects to the north of the study area include London Road which could have its public realm enhanced once through traffic is removed to the M74 extension. To the west Dalmarnock Riverside Park & Dalmarnock Road Station Plaza could also become civic spaces connected to the Clyde Walkway.

CLYDE GATEWAY RIVER ACCESS STUDY I JULY 2008

HISTORY OF SITE Ease of access along the Clyde Walkway is not a contemporary issue. In the early 19th century stood the house of Westhorn, owned by local whisky distiller Thomas Harvey & located a kilometre upriver of the site. His grounds went down to the bank of the Clyde & in order to protect his privacy from people walking the ‘popular Clydeside Footpath’ built ‘Harvey’s Dyke’, (walls either end of his property) which closed off a 1 mile section to the public. In 1822, an angry mob began dismantling it which required troops to intervene. After this wall reconstruction began again but was challenged in the courts & on appeal the charges against the offenders were quashed. At this time, the Clyde Walkway was a right of way, effectively a towpath. The 1865 map below illustrates the more rural nature of this part of the Clyde with a series of country villas like Westhorn and Belvidere (which later became the infectious diseases hospital), cottages, farms & lanes. Although, the landscape of the area has urbanised over time, industry has existed for over 200yrs with a series of print & dye works e.g. Springfield Print & Dye works on the Games Village site & there was a waterworks within the Cuningar Loop in 1865. As industry grew, the area subsequently suffered from the dumping of waste from the industrial processes leading to the contamination issues & brownfield sites experienced today.

CLYDE GATEWAY RIVER ACCESS STUDY I JULY 2008

LAND USE What has remained in the narrow corridor of the Clyde Walkway to this day is an extensive green buffer which (particularly in summer) conceals much of the surrounding industry, housing & derelict land. In fact, the walker & cyclist can be oblivious to the landscape to the north as a result. It is this aspect which creates the ‘green’ character of a rural ride within the confines of the city. The vast majority of the riverbank trees are self sown, which in conjunction with trees north of the walkway create the dense corridor. Much of the embankment was stone pitched during Victorian times and over time river deposited silts from flooding & slippages from higher up the embankment have created a growing medium for the trees. This medium is unstable and once the trees mature they are likely to fall into the river causing a hazard to boats (particularly rowers). In some places the tree roots have prised themselves into the stone pitching, lifting stones & inducing a bank side weak point susceptible to erosion. Today, the area is in transition. The long term decline of the industrial base has affected the social infrastructure of the area but the Clyde Gateway Regeneration along with The Commonwealth Games and a further key asset of the Cuningar Loop proposals all have the potential to revitalise the area and they can all feature the Clyde Walkway as a main arterial access route. fig. 3 - land use analysis river

Concept & Masterplan

Action Plan

Currently, the greatest asset of The Clyde Walkway within the study area is the proximity to the river itself & its associated green corridor of trees. However, this screening of Walkway users from surrounding development & the brownfield sites of Glasgow’s east end & south riverbank also serves to provide one of its drawbacks. Both bankside & pathside vegetation screen the public from passive surveillance leading in places to feelings of vulnerability where the river itself forms a barrier to any form of escape. Developments such as the Athlete’s Village adjacent to The Clyde should assist through additional use & surveillance, but only if the new developments build in the strategic links & access points to encourage use. The concept for this location, which can also applicable in other situations along the Clyde is therefore threefold;

The 3 nodal points A, B & C introduce a more urban-type character which link into the adjacent, proposed, residential development. These are detailed within Details 1-4.

• • •

Enhance biodiversity & visual quality whilst increasing public safety Enhance the user experience of the Public Realm along the linear route Enhance & create strategic links & nodes to increase connectivity

The route at present suffers from a lack of destinations, nodes of interest, orientation and also access to the south side of the river & the east end of Glasgow which reduces the opportunity for circular routes in either east/west or north/south directions. Although the Glasgow City north side of the river has the Clyde Walkway itself, the South Lanarkshire south side lacks this major asset due to ownership issues adjacent to the river. To fully realise the potential of this part of the river, the opportunity for north to south linkages across the river (involving new pedestrian/cycle bridges) is a strategic development that is already proposed within The GCC Core Paths Plan & one that will help to generate use for recreation & commuting. This is fully endorsed within this Masterplan and something that the legacy of the Commonwealth Games could potentially help generate. The 2014 Commonwealth Games will establish (or reinforce) crucial destinations & nodes of interest within the locality, notably Celtic Park (& the proposal for a new Parkhead railway station), the National Indoor Sports Arena (NISA), Velodrome & swimming pool at Tolcross Park. All these features are within a short walking/cycling distance from The Clyde Walkway and have helped to inform where key strategic links should join the walkway from Springfield Road. As the Masterplan for the Athlete’s village is yet to be finalised, this document has identified & recognised 3 areas in particular where it is recommended that the Masterplan take cognisance of the Clyde Walkway proposals so that both walkway & athlete’s village are integrated;

Between these node points, the rural character of The Clyde Walkway is to be retained & enhanced. The management of the vegetation is contained within a separate document’ ‘Survey of Woodland Within Clyde Gateway Access Project’ by Arboretum Internationale & addresses dead & dangerous trees as well as the eradication of invasive weeds of Japanese Knotweed & Giant Hogweed which has extensively colonised the banksides. The linear walkway will also have environmental improvements affecting woodland management to enhance viewpoints, increase biodiversity & address safety as well as increase path widths to a minimum of 3m. Surfacing would be asphalt between the nodes as this is the most effective surface for cycling. Related to the vegetation management is one of riverside safety. One of the issues which exists at present is that the density of vegetation between the Clyde Gateway & water’s edge obscures the steepness of the bankside & affects the visibility of any member of the public in difficulty. A school of thought exists that the bankside should be grass which would permit visibility and avoid trees falling into the water (particularly as the trees in many places are growing within an unstable layer of organic material on top of stone pitching). There is merit in this argument & one that needs further discussion. It could perhaps become a long term management goal, phased over many years as it will considerably affect the character of the bankside and attract public complaint and reduce biodiversity value. The issue of railings is dealt with as follows. Where pedestrian routes meet the Clyde Walkway obliquely or perpendicular, then pedestrian guardrails should be provided at the top of the embankment for approximately 5m up & downstream of this point (similar to where a path meets a road). Elsewhere, where the Walkway is parallel to the river with no links encroaching from the north, downed tree logs could be used to provide a visual margin to highlight the embankment presence for cyclists. Railings are not required here as the movement is parallel to the river. There are 2 large retaining walls that exist within this section of the Clyde Walkway. It is anticipated that these are removed to create the nodal piazza’s but that the work is done as part of an advanced works contract as part of the Athlete’s Village proposals. An existing low retaining wall exists at the midpoint of the Walkway. This serves as a seating element & it would be retained & refurbished with a new pc concrete cope.

This piazza is strategically positioned to link the Clyde Walkway with Springfield Road with a prominent pedestrian/cycle promenade linking the various sporting facilities that will ultimately become community legacies of the Games.

The Clyde Gateway Green Network Strategy document identifies the strategic ‘Green Corridor Link’ (Glasgow Green - Dalmarnock Cross - Cuningar Loop) and this needs to be incorporated into The Clyde Gateway & formally addressed at its intersection point.

Because the actual house form, road network & public realm for the Athlete’s village is unknown at this point, it is important to emphasise how its relationship with the Clyde Walkway will be critical in order to maintain the green corridor experience of the river corridor. Housing fronting the river will attract a premium for the river views, but here the public/private interface requires a specific landscape response.

Within the southern part of the corridor exists an area of grassed open space. This is strategically located facing south & at the southern bend in the river. Furthermore, it is also elevated & has existing woodland blocks which frame views up & down the river. It is one of the few areas where the character of the Walkway opens up within an extensive grassed area.

This point is also on the northern apex of the prominent Cuningar river meander affording a strategic, elevated viewpoint both up & down river. A small island also occupies the river channel here. A change in level exists between the athlete’s village & the Clyde Walkway & the proposals utilise this to create a large south-facing, stepped terrace overlooking a public space with seating elements incorporated. There is the potential for a tensile canopy structure at the heart of this space & refreshment kiosks which will contribute to making an actual place that people not only travel through but stop at. Alternatively, the canopy structure could partially cover some of the steps (whether temporary or permanent) utilising the riverscape as a backdrop. At the water’s edge, a wooden deck over the embankment at the Clyde Walkway level permits close access to views of the water’s edge. Importantly, the Clyde Walkway widens to form this civic space at this point providing an important ‘activity node’ & legible ‘interchange’ point to link northwards into the east end. A change of materials to natural stone/high quality concrete & resin bound gravel would emphasise this.

Where this Green Corridor link from the North West meets the Clyde Walkway is the logical point that requires a new footbridge crossing of River Clyde to reach the south bank of the river & the South Lanarkshire Council proposed development (including major visitor attraction) within the Cuningar Loop. This Green Corridor link should be reinforced through the Athlete’s Village so that a connected tree canopy is ultimately formed aligning with the arrival point at the bridge. There is a change in level between the access point to the bridge & the Clyde Walkway and graded ramps would be required. A high level secondary Clyde Walkway in this section would link to the proposed Piazza further east in order to access a graded ramp to the east to permit cycle/pushchair/wheelchair access. It is proposed to have direct river access here, beneath the bridge formed by dramatic pre-cast concrete steps descending into the water’s edge.

A structural hierarchy of roads/paths/access points & private garden space should restrict vehicles from the ‘green’ zone between the residential properties & the Clyde Walkway. It is advantageous if all vehicle movement is restricted to a zone north of the riverside properties. This effectively will permit the landscape to dominate from building line to water’s edge thus benefiting users of the Walkway & occupiers of the residential properties. A hedgerow would enclose private garden space around the building with a resident’s only path (effectively a pedestrian ‘back lane’) linking rear garden access to periodic residential access points onto the Clyde Walkway.

This provides the opportunity for a ‘green’ nodal point where the existing embankment can be remodelled to provide grass terraces as a piece of land art incorporating playful feature seating elements. Much as Sustrans have done visually on the national cycle routes (e.g. Art & the Travelling Landscape - Lambton Worm in Co. Durham) & which also exists on the M8 (e.g. Grass Pyramids, Clydesdale Horse) it would provide a visual but also functional ‘event’ along the walkway & assist as a reference & orientation point. This location also gives the opportunity to provide an access point at the river’s edge because of its open views in the form of a boardwalk through reeds. It should be noted however that the river is fast flowing & susceptible to quick changes in water level. Because of this, direct waterside access is contentious but worthy of design exploration.

Where the bridge touches down on the northern bank is another opportunity for mall scale commercial activity e.g. café kiosk should the Cuningar Loop proposals on the south side of the river be realised.

LIGHTING BRIEF / GUIDELINE DOCUMENT This document has been created to help define in outline the strategic approach to the design of the architectural lighting that will be a key part of the 2014 Commonwealth Games Village and Clyde Gateway site Development. 2014 Commonwealth Games Village and Clyde Gateway site has the potential to become a positive icon for a new and progressive Glasgow. In line with recent developments completed in various other European and International cities, like London, Paris, Lille, Barcelona, Helsinki and Oslo well designed architectural lighting is more and more seen as a vital consideration at any major urban projectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outset. It is crucial therefore that this revitalised part of the city looks great both by day and by night. The unique city riverside location and intelligent architectural design provide a structure and series of spaces rich in possibilities.

ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING IN GENERAL

SUSTAINABILITY / ENERGY

The architectural lighting design of the proposed 2014 Commonwealth Games Village and Clyde Gateway site Development will be developed to ensure that the night-time image of the development more than complements its image by day. Lighting design can and should contribute towards a development that fully engages night-time economy issues.

The Lighting Design of the 2014 Commonwealth Games Village and Clyde Gateway site, should be developed to utilise design solutions that integrally promote a responsible attitude to environmental issues.

Exciting, friendly and safe city public spaces, cafes and restaurants should be considered that encourage people to come and enjoy the area during the evening. In general terms the proposed architectural lighting of the various exterior public spaces and buildings that will combine to form the new 2014 Commonwealth Games Village and Clyde Gateway site in Glasgow should be high quality, discrete and designed so that light is perceived without undue emphasis on the light fittings used to create it. Ideally most light fittings should be designed as simple in form and where design permits be located integral with particular architectural elements. The lighting generally should be limited to utilise tones of white light reflecting of various key architectural surfaces and materials. If any architectural coloured lighting is suggested it will only be in response to very particular design criteria and will only be promoted after detailed design discussions with team and clients. The proposals must balance creative architectural lighting design ideas and aesthetic issues with particular functional and statutory lighting requirements towards a seamless result.

In line with current interest in the avoidance of light pollution and wasted energy, lighting and systems are proposed that are designed to use clean or green power supplies and where lighting is directed and focussed, especially in all exterior environments, without contributing to unnecessary glare and sky light pollution. Particular emphasis is placed on the flexibility and responsiveness of the Lighting design for each space. This is not however the only agenda. Environmental issues, electrical efficiency, ease of use and maintenance of all lighting and control systems is vital and should be integral to the development of the general Lighting design philosophy. It is important that all the lighting design solutions used address maintenance issues and efficient energy usage.

Where design allows, generally lighting should be specified that utilises, low energy efficient light sources, with long lamp life cycles and corresponding maintenance periods. The design policy is to ensure that any lighting designs are simple and straightforward to maintain. Numbers and types of different lamp and lighting sources used on the project should be rationalised and minimised, as design develops to ensure that from a users point of view lighting is efficient and easy to maintain. Linking artificial lighting to external day-light conditions or to sensors activated by space use (using various sensors and photo-cells and time clocks) can make it possible to extend normal maintenance cycles as well as reduce energy use. Where dimmable fluorescent, compact fluorescent, LED, tungsten and low voltage sources are used they will generally be under-run to extend their lamp life by at least 100%. When selecting and specifying lighting the project policy is of only selecting and specifying established proven manufacturers and suppliers based on experience and design quality and sustainable selection. Through the tender process it is vital that the project Lighting Architect (or Project Manager) actively monitor the supply chain to ward against poor quality substitutes and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;greyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; import materials arriving on site. This is vital to ensure that any design vision and intent is delivered.

With todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keen interest in the avoidance of light pollution and wasted energy the scheme must be developed in a manner that ensures that all Lighting design for the project is designed to minimise light spill and where possible use clean or green power supplies.

CLYDE GATEWAY RIVER ACCESS STUDY I JULY 2008

GREEN NETWORK CORRIDOR / NORTH APPROACH PATH TREE AVENUES - PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE PATHS The lighting proposed for the main Green Network Corridor routes comprises of two main elements. Low level 4m high pedestrian area street pole mounted lights either located centrally to the six metre wide pedestrian and cycle path or located with a stepped zig zag arrangement between trees. The street pole lights lighting would be supported by lighting that up-lights the avenue trees. The appendix to this document illustrates three options for the pedstrian and cycle path pole mounted lighting fittings. Generally the design intent would be to use LED lighting street poles to light these areas. The LED units would be based on tried and tested units from at least two manufactures/ suppliers. The selection would only be based on suppliers that can demonstrate that best quality and Bin level warm white (3200K) LED are used form recognised and reputable LED manufacturers/suppiers. Our research has resulted in both Philips and We-ef Lighting being currently the manufacturers that have produced lighting units that work and are of the quality and robustness that would be suitable for this type of urban public realm project. In general terms based on an arrangement of stepped or zigzag pattern both the Philips City Wing LED street light and the We-ef OLC LED street light would produce safe levels of light across the path routes in line wit the recommendations of CIBSE / ILE 01 – Lighting the Environment: A Guide to Good Urban Lighting (1995) and CIBSE LG06 – The Outdoor Environment (1992). The Architectural Specialist Feature Lighting should also be developed in a manner that complies with the principles of ILE ‘Guidance Notes for the Reduction of Obtrusive Light GN01’ (Table 1) which is a Institute of Lighting Engineers guidance document promoting best lighting practice and best approach to controlling light pollution and upwards spill light in urban areas. The proposed 4m high LED street lights broadly would be located at between 12m and 16m centres to achieve recommended lighting light levels based on ILE Category E3 and E4 areas.

CLYDE GATEWAY RIVER ACCESS STUDY I JULY 2008

GREEN NETWORK CORRIDOR / TREE AVENUES PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE PATHS Working with the LED Street Pole lighting the proposed lighting for the Green Network Corridor main link avenue areas would also include good quality ground recessed up-lighting for key trees along main routes. The light fittings propsed would be IP65 or IP67 and would be selected to meet all currently recognised best practice recommendations. Fittings would be fitted with heat reducion measures,anti-vandal fixings and integral glare control. Tree uplights would also be located to ensure that light from these fittings actually lights the selected trees rather than lighting the sky and creating excess spill light. Where public bench or seating features are proposed LED integral lighting details have been suggested to provide local accent lighting to bench plinths and seat edges. again this lighting would be integrated in a manner that ensures that light is focussed on exactly where it is required rather than creating excess spill light. Generally any LED integrated lighting will be specified as Warm White (3200K) colour temperature. Where interpretive panels and exhibition display panels are suggested we have suggested that these are backlit using either T5 fluorescent lighting or LED backlighting within the metal urban display unit enclosure.

RIVER EDGE PIAZZA SPACE / NORTH OPTION 1 At the North end of the site where the main approach from Springfield Road and the Sports Venues occurs the lighting will change as the pedestrian and cycle path open out and form a piazza space. The LED street lighting is propsed to follow the river edge path system with lighting poles at approximately 1216m centres (depending on final light fitting selection). The intention would be to relate the LED pole system directly to the task of providing safe levels of light along the upper and lower river edge path systems. Where the timber boardwalk deck is proposed at the waters edge lighting is suggested that will be integral with the ballustrade support system at the deck edge. This lighting would be developed to ensure that the light emitted is focussed to direct light away from the river and down onto the timber deck surface. From a ecological point of view we are keen to promote a responsible approach to how lighting is located at the waters edge and aim to ensure that minimal light spill is produced that may effect fish migration and breeding.

RIVER EDGE PIAZZA SPACE / NORTH - OPTION 2 This version of the North River Edge Piazza node space shows an alternative lighting arrangement. This involves removing the 4m street poles within the piazza space so that the lighting is more low level moving away from the main pedestrian routes to the river edge deck condition. This particular example shows step recessed led lights recessed in the stair risers at stair changes of angle and vertical fluorescent or LED linear lighting integral with the deck edge balustrade to light the deck edge.

This also involves removing the 4m street poles within the piazza space so that the lighting is more low level moving away from the main pedestrian routes to the river edge deck condition. This particular example shows the use of low level metal halide bollard lights within the piazza space. These bollard units would use 35W Philips CDM metal halide lamps or the Philips Cosmopolis energy efficient metal halide warm white lamps. Generally any bollard units would be chosen to adress vandalism issues and provide light without upwards spill light. The bollards would also be specified that allow enough side light that the adajacent stair surfaces would be lit and safe after dark.

GREEN NETWORK CORRIDOR / TREE AVENUES OPTION 1 PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE PATHS At the point where the Green Network Corridor primary path route meets the river bank there is another key space. The threshold to the main site pedestrian bridge crossing offers a viewing location and place to sit by the rivers edge. Lighting at this point can be arranged in several ways. Option 1 shows LED street pole lighting arranged to line through for upper and lower paths. This will address lighting level requirements on paths whilst also presenting an organised arrangement of lights when viewed from across the river. Spacings of lighting poles are between 12 and 16m apart.

GREEN NETWORK CORRIDOR / TREE AVENUES OPTION 2 PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE PATHS Option 2 shows LED street pole lighting arranged with twin head street light units between upper and lower paths. This is less efficient at providing lighting level requirements on paths but does reduce the amount of elements required. Spacings of lighting poles remain between 12 and 16m apart.

CLYDE GATEWAY RIVER ACCESS STUDY I JULY 2008

GREEN NETWORK CORRIDOR / TREE AVENUES OPTION 3 PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE PATHS Option 3 shows LED single head street pole lighting arranged to line through for upper and lower paths where paths run parallel to each other. Where paths join and zig-zag between each other pole are placed in position which provide the best lighting points. This however does present a more random general arrangement. Spacings of lighting poles are between 12 and 16m apart.

Option 1 shows LED street pole lighting arranged to line through for upper and lower paths. This will address lighting level requirements on paths whilst also presenting an organised arrangement of lights when viewed from across the river. Spacings of lighting poles are between 12 and 16m apart. This illustration also shows vertical linear warm white LED lighting integrated within the vertical supports of the ballustrade elements at deck edges and bridge retaining edges. The steps down to the waters edge could also be lit using water proof IP68X LED step lights - any lights at waters edge locations should be connected to a remote float switch to ensure that at times of high water and flooding that any lights within a certain threshold are switched off before submersion becomes a possibility. The step lighting at this kind of location would have to be of at type that offers very controlled and localised beams of light to avoid glare on the river itself.

PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE PATHS Single head LED street pole lighting arranged along either side of path. This will address lighting level requirements on paths whilst also presenting an organised arrangement of lights when viewed from across the river. Spacings of lighting poles are between 12 and 16m apart. Generally the preference would be to locate lighting so that the beam of light points away from the river edge.

L Lighting Controls Exterior Public Areas – Seasonal Lighting Settings. Lighting to the Public areas of the 2014 Commonwealth Games Village and Clyde Gateway site Development should be controlled via a Managed Lighting scene set lighting control system that can be used to create different scenes or images of the urban spaces for different times of day and different days of the week. In particular a system should be promoted that allows lighting to be adjusted to suit seasonal climatic differences and combat SAD syndrome in Winter. There are clear differences in daylight quality and extent of night between the extremes of Summer and Winter in Glasgow’s Northern Location. A system that allows for lighting to be enhanced during Winter periods would be beneficial to help counter winter blues. The system will be used to run the day-to-day activities with ‘hands free’ operation. The internal building architectural lighting control systems should be programmed to respond to climatic changes, which will have a significant influence on particular buildings within the site. For example, if one side of the building is darker than another because of sun orientation, sensors mounted externally will subtly balance lighting requirements in different zones of the building (rather than individual light sources). The lighting control system will be crucial to maintain the most efficient use of all the lighting specified. Lighting control systems will also be configured to allow easy setting and locking off of individual lighting local to each space or linked series of spaces. At the same time a series of PIR sensors should be used at key positions to raise lighting levels in anticipation of visitors entering spaces that may be empty for longer periods.

Management Lighting Guidelines

Reduction in Night Time Light Pollution

As an integral part of the lighting design process we think that consideration should be given to the creation of a comprehensive 2014 Commonwealth Games Village and Clyde Gateway site Development Design Guide document. This document would consider acceptable standards for Lighting in the public spaces and would offer controlling guidelines towards managing how retail, restaurant and bar, café units and office areas and residential areas are developed to control light quality, spill and pollution. This is particularly important also in the building edge areas to ensure that spill light emitted from within buildings after dark does not compromise the general appearance of the each building or adjacent public space areas.

The Architectural Specialist Lighting scheme proposed for the Clyde Gateway Project, will require to be designed in line with the recommendations of best professional practice as promoted by both the Professional Lighting Designers Association (PLDA) and the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD). It should also be designed to meet the guidelines of CIBSE / ILE 01 – Lighting the Environment: A Guide to Good Urban Lighting (1995) and CIBSE LG06 – The Outdoor Environment (1992).

In parallel with a guide document for Lighting there really should be an integrated document that identifies design issues and signage directory issues also. Safety and Security The proposed lighting designs for the 2014 Commonwealth Games Village and Clyde Gateway site should be developed in line with local statutory Lighting guidelines and regulations. The design will be required to be detailed and tested thoroughly as part of the design process. This will include accurate lighting plots and calculations indicating resultant lighting levels in each space. Key attention should be placed on DDA access issues and any lighting designed should propose that there are no situations where partially sighted people in particular will have access problems. This is especially of note when designing lighting to staircases, ramps and changes of level. Generally stairs should be lit in an even manner with lighting washed over the whole of each tread.

The Architectural Specialist Feature Lighting should also be developed in a manner that complies with the principles of ILE ‘Guidance Notes for the Reduction of Obtrusive Light GN01’ (Table 1). In general the feature architectural lighting uses low glare light fittings that minimize spill light and avoid if possible direct upward light into the sky. Where in ground up-lights are specified these are generally very tightly focused units that light a particular element, for example where tree up-lighting is introduced the light fitting is focused to light the tree trunk and canopy and avoid stray up-ward light into the adjacent sky. Where lighting is integral to façade reveals, these lights, generally use very low energy LED narrow beam units to light recesses and reveals only, with a minimal amount of light output. The energy of the light being totally absorbed by the recess / reveal surface. As far as possible there will be no visible glare from the fittings when viewed from adjacent properties. The internal lighting of the buildings lighting should be fully dimmable and when spaces are not in use should be developed in a manner that lighting can dim down either to low levels to conserve energy and to minimize potential light spill from the building after dark or off all together depending on time of day and agreed operational lighting curfew periods. Where deck edge glass balustrades are up-lit again the light fitting uses a tight asymmetric optic and light is focused on the manifestation integrated into the balustrade glass. The new street lighting within the demise of the site is generally free-standing pavement mounted and uses very focused downlight only light output light fittings with no upwards spill light component. These fittings may also be fitted with low glare front snoot tubes or louver baffles to reduce side glare.
