SHOWING CONSTRUCTION

Written Statement Architects have a profound and enduring impact on the built environment and landscape, capable of leaving their mark in history. Structures that inspire me are those that celebrate their engineering and use natural forms. There is a place for both contemporary and classically inspired design, controversial and sympathetic. During my undergraduate studies at the University of Edinburgh I expressed my interest and passions in architecture through my design work and academic writing. My designs commonly celebrate the structure and form with references to nature and parametric design. I am a strong advocate of the BIM process, believing it to hugely beneficial for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry, which led me to pursue this topic for my undergraduate dissertation. Another paper focussed on brownfield sites which are frequently used by clients in the UK. This paper concentrated on the controversial issues raised of whether to demolish buildings on site and lose the history in place of a new build or whether to retain and refurbish the existing building. I am enjoying my time at the University of Liverpool which has allowed me to continue to express my passion for architecture. I have appreciated the variety of design work on this course, particularly designing an elephant enclosure in detail, and working in groups has been very effective in preparing for designing in practice. I have a strong interest in film especially the correlation between architecture and the celluloid, and under the guidance of Richard Koeck, a leading expert on the subject, I am pursuing this topic for my dissertation.

Knowsley Safari Park | Individual Work - Elephant House The first semester of the postgraduate's design module was divided into two; Individual work and Group work. This section shows my individual design work for this semester. The brief was to design a new Elephant House in Knowsley Safari Park as the existing house had become outdated. The owners of the park also wanted to distance themselves from viewing the attractions from the car, and to become more pedestrianised.

External Cow Elephant Area Cow Elephant and Giraffe Area External Bull Elephant Area Temperate Cow Internal Area

POSTGRADUATE LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY

The design process started with investigations in elephant culture and the requirements, which informed the design. The image of the Savannan landscape is synonymous with African elephants, therefore it seemed appropriate to take inspiration for the structural strategy from a Savannan tree concept sketches are shown on the right page. It is important that the elephants in the park are happy and content by having exciting feeding strategies and masterplanning the site to create a varied habitat. However as this is for humans to exhibit it is important that they too have a good experience and good interaction with the elephants. The plan has to be practicable for the keepers to do their job successfully. Elephants and Giraffes coexist peacefully in the wild, therefore to mimic a similar environment seems natural. There are successful examples of elephant and giraffe common areas, e.g. Dallas Zoo.

The tree concept is expressed through the grid shell form which contributes to the environmental strategy using ETFE cushions and the feeding strategy (shown in the top section and visualisations).

POSTGRADUATE LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY

The first floor viewing platform and balcony that wraps around the circumference of the internal enclosure, provides excellent views of the elephants with minimal disturbance. A key issue that the keepers raised, was for the elephant to have choice and to be allowed to roam around at their own free will. The layout of the internal enclosure and automatic doors allow for the elephants to roam at their own discretion.

Lake Water strategy

The team also had to consider what would happen in summer when strong sun could make the enclosures overheat. To neutralise this, automatically controlled openings at the top and bottom of the Biomes open in stages, letting the hot air out at the top and drawing replacement cooler air in at the bottom. The areas and locations for these were designed using the CFD model in summer mode. Plants give out moisture as they grow and the ventilation system is controlled to reduce this moisture build-up if it gets too high. On the other hand, in the Humid Tropics Biome, it is often necessary to increase the humidity by fine spray misters.

The horticulturists wanted the purest possible water to be used for humidification in the Humid Tropical Biome, water purity being very important to prevent deposition of minerals on plant surfaces. The best source for this water was considered to be rain from the surface run-off of the Biomes. The rainwater is collected at the base of each Biome using a proprietary enclosed channel drainage system linked to hoppers at the base of each of the Biome main gutters. These, due to their impressive scale, contribute very effectively to the collection system.

African Elephants are accustomed to a hotter drier climate, which the main space provides by using ETFE Pillows and thermal mass to heat the space at night. However it order to keep the human areas cooler, blank panels are used in the grid structure to provide shade and roof monitors are utilised for natural ventilation.

Biome humidification

Landscape stormwater

A water strategy was devised with the civil engineers for a collection and disposal system, plus collection and distribution systems for ‘re-used’ water. The water extracted from groundwater and springs is collected and stored in a large underground tank before being pumped into the water distribution system via a filtration and ultraviolet disinfection plant; water for toilet and urinal flushing is subjected to secondary disinfection by silver ionisation treatment. Excess groundwater overflows into the site surface water disposal system. The re-used water mains network also supplies fire hydrants throughout the site, though these can also be served from the local mains water supply via onsite fire pumps in the event of a groundwater shortage or a major fire.

The automatic control has to ensure that all these systems work together to achieve the right2temperature and humidity. Unlike normal air-conditioned buildings these conditions vary continually. For example, when there is no sun in winter the temperature is allowed to drop to a daytime minimum before the heating jets are turned on. Conversely, when the sun comes out the temperature is allowed to rise, storing heat in the rockface until the maximum temperature for the season is reached, and then the ventilation openings are activated. Since the relative humidity depends on the temperature, the misters need to respond to changing conditions to keep the humidity within the right band. All this is to give the best conditions to the plants with minimum energy consumption.

Insulation

Water conservation is a big issue at Eden. The clay pit has copious quantities of water derived from rainfall on the pit area and from groundwater and natural spring sources. All these are more than adequate for all the Project’s horticultural requirements including irrigation and humidification, with a sufficient margin to service the fire hydrant system for small fires and for flushing toilets and urinals. The only water not provided from natural on-site sources is the potable supply for drinking, catering and ablutions.

Environmental Strategy

Single ETFE

To maintain good thermal properties and not to visually impair the viewing deck, a single ETFE is used in the viewing areas. Glass was avoided as there is a high probability that an elephant could knock into the structure and the vibrations travelling up the steels could shatter the glass.

After the individual Elephant House project was completed, we assembled in groups and decided which project to pursue in further detail. The following pages show the developed design of this chosen project.

POSTGRADUATE LIVERPOOL UNIVERSITY

The right page shows a site plan of the safari park and the Elephant House's location. The Second floor plan below shows how the human areas interact with the elephant areas, by a ramp which circulates around the enclsoure providing great views of the elephants. This project also uses tree structures to hold up a canopy, however they are multi-functonal. Different tree structures allow for circulation, elephant feeding, rain water harvesting, light wells and energy creation through geothermal piles which are shown on later pages. An expolded axonometric on the right page shows the circulation around the tree. The visualisations on the right page show the view of the elephant house from the lakeside (top) and views of the external enclosure (bottom).

This spread shows the working progress masterplan and associated visualisations to the masterplan. The main area that we chose to develop is the main university square being at the heart of the university. Currently the area is a large expanse, which is often busy with human traffic and hosts market stalls on occasion. We decided to direct to better direct the pedestrian traffic, and providing designated areas for local businesses to sell their produce (shown bottom right plana and visualisation).

A train station was also proposed from the analysis, and it was key to provide clear lines of site to recognisable landmarks to better orientate new students. Analysis revealed that a defined bicycle route was needed through the campus directing students from the east - which hosts two main student halls, through to the centre of campus. This masterplan would obviously have to phased due to practicalities, some of which is shown below.

Dalmarnock is a deprived area of Glasgow in desperate need of rejuvenation. The brief required a masterplan to be created in the local area with a Healthy Living Centre at its heart.

Gateway opportunity Channelling people into the Athletes Village

Optimum location of Welcoming Centre / HLC

The Glasgow Commonwealth Games Masterplan by RMJM proposed temporary sports facilities to be erected for the Games along with an athletes village that would all be transformed into housing subsequently. Despite a great scheme, I thought certain factors had not been addressed.

A gateway/welcoming building, in my opinion, is needed for a large sporting event with an arcaded route channelling visitors to the main attractions. Inspired by the legacy of London Olympic Games 2012, this building would be later transformed into a Healthy Living Centre (HLC) providing a doctors’ surgery, drop in centre, cafe and multipurpose activity hall for the Dalmarnock community. Along with this, retail and office units would be provided in the transformed arcaded route to meet the requirements of the new residents in RMJM’s masterplan.

Dalmarnock | Concept to the Final Model Investigating Anish Kapoor’s and Cecil Balmond’s ‘Temenos’ (shown bottom left) led to studies concerning manipulation of forms and shapes. Initially a literal approach was taken, modelling the form using tight material stretched over two rings and pulled taut. However this created a status quo in the middle so I continued warping the shape by manipulating the different axes.

UNDERGRADUATE EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY

This manipulation of the form inspired me to create a flowing undulating canopy which has a sense of anti gravity that appears to float over the building. The canopy would be a steel mesh structure (250Ø) with PTFE inserts due to the double curvature. The aim is to create an iconic, gateway building to the Commonwealth Games.

Fashion Museum | Subversion to Integration

UNDERGRADUATE EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY

Studies of the fashion cycle involved focussing on the brand All Saints Spitalfields. The main articles of clothing include denim jeans, leather jackets and military boots which were traced back to their roots (left). The brand was further investigated by considering their positioning of exclusivity by contrasting with other retailers immediacy of product logos. This was by an analysis the percentage of the shop facade covered by the brand logo to the total window space. All Saints is at the centre, highlighted in orange in the diagram top right, having the smallest percentage compared to the surrounding shops depicting a rather exclusive shop not serving the mainstream. A taxonomy of All Saints was also conducted measuring light and decibel readings of the shop against the surrounding retailers, as shown in the bottom right diagram. These studies led to an increased understanding of fashion which acts in a cycle starting from rebellion and subculture and ending in inclusion and commercialisation.

Taxonomy of All Saints *+(,-.&%#/('

The undulating ground rising and wrapping around the column to Lord Melbourne creating a structure, was inspired by this cycle continually in motion. However this pattern did have a relatively regular cycle which informed a sense of order influencing the four identical pods in the building.

Manila Hotel | Concept Design As a feasibility study for a client, a number of hotel options were considered on the site next to the World Trade Centre (WTC) in Manila, Philippines. There are few skyscrapers in Manila of any note, so the client wanted something iconic that would define the capital’s skyline. It was also important for there to be a connection between the WTC and the hotel, as it linked into the business centre and conference rooms held on the first few floors of the new building.

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE WORK

Three options were conceived, the first named “The Spinnaker” pays tribute to Manila’s nautical history as the site was so closely located to the coast, with a sweeping sail shaped tower defining the entrance to the hotel. There was a strong linkage between the WTC and hotel as the profile of the WTC’s roof was continued into the bottom of the sail. The second, “The Twister” hosts a rectangular floor plate being rotated a total of 80 degrees from ground to roof level. This proved challenging having to split the core due to the nature of the twist however the link between the WTC and this option was not as strong. The third option was the most conventional, consisting of a semi circular tower with extruding scissored floors.

El Pueblo - Manila | Bid A conceptual design was developed to a relatively detailed proposal displayed in a document for the client. For this project, I predominantly collaborated with Kara de los Reyes, a RIBA qualified architect, who was born in Manila and has intimate knowledge of the area. In conjunction with Kara, I was involved in designing and creating the Revit file from which all drawings and visualisations were taken.

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE WORK

The intention was to keep this area as an attractive and popular location.This was achieved by creating a plinth and having a raised roof garden on the sixth floor above the smog and pollution of the highway, giving the illusion of an oasis in a city, and also provided five floors of car parking for residents and visitors. This roof garden provides access to a multitude of shops, cafes and restaurants. Two towers are located on the plinth, providing office space in the taller tower and residential in the lower. The third tallest tower is at the back of the site and would be predominantly used for office space. The shape of the towers was informed by many factors.The client expressed interest in the Beirut Terraces by Herzog & de Meuron which provides large terraces and the idea of a vertical garden. Filipinos like inside/outside spaces however there is also the need for shade due to the intense high sun.

Derriford Masterplan | Appeal regarding the Area Action Plan With the closure of the airport in Plymouth, the owners of the land wanted to redevelop the area into a new district centre however the council disagreed discarding it from the Area Action Plan (AAP). The site was a prime location for a district centre to provide a range of services including offices, restaurants, bars and retail to the local area thus creating more jobs in the north of Plymouth. I assisted AWW in producing a document proposing a phased masterplan for the area and evaluating it with other proposals to get the area included in the AAP. I was assigned to produce key views (shown right) partnering with a CGI company to show the proposal’s attractiveness. The Former Airport Site (FAS) was compared with other proposed district centre masterplans in the area particularly in the North West Quadrant (NWQ). The walking catchments (1.5km) of the areas were compared using isochrones and land use, shown on the right page along with the landuse / building typology within each area. To show the advantage of the AWW masterplan it was evaluated against the NWQ, comparing the built form, area access, green areas, topography, retail, residential and site analysis. Examples of these are show on the right page.

Engine Common | Planning Application As part of a wider masterplanning scheme for a major residential development, a section of land was reserved for an B1 office employment unit along with two B1c warehousing units. The site is on the grounds owned by Yate Town Football Club, so to give back to the community, the design for a football clubhouse was also included in the planning application.

IIM | University Competition Entries

Developed Masterplan

In partnership with an Indian architect, AWW entered competitions for a university masterplan complexes in Raipur, Kashipur and Jodphur in India. These schemes were split into AWW designing the educational and faculty buildings, whilst the Indian architects team focussed on the layout of the student housing.

Golf Course

Sports Facilties

Staff Housing

Student Housing

Cultural Centre

These schemes developed from a concept design of a central tower with buildings radiating out like arms (shown immediate right). This was adapted by the AWW team into a more concise building enclosing a tower which was to be used as a main library block.

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE WORK

Some buildings in these masterplans required more detail, including layout and cooling systems. The university complex required a Auditorium to seat 2000 people, which was designed as a separate entity to the main cluster. The auditorium and main university campus have large roof overhangs to provide as much external shade as possible.

Library

Academic Hub

Initial university campus concept

University Campus Masterplan

The administrative block was to be largely naturally ventilated using wind catchers to capture the prevailing winds. The rooms are designed to circulate the air that is fluted down the wind catchers. The wind catcher functions as a stack effect aggregator of hot air creating a pressure gradient which allows less dense hot air to travel upwards and escape out the top. For the laboratories, due to the nature of the use of the building a high electrical requirement is expected in terms of the airconditioning and fans for the ventilation. To further reduce heat gain, brise soleil and atrium ventilation was used. Jali, (perforated screening) which is common in India, would be used throughout to allow patterned diffused light.

For the buildings in Myrtle and Merrywood I assisted in uploading the FF&E primarily into the plans and elevations of the classrooms.This required checking these drawings against the room data sheets and any changes were checked and approved by Yaran Soleman (the Project Architect).

PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE WORK

EDPM to be sealed into window frame and sealed to back side of cement board

My particular roles for the Myrtle site involved creating drawings for the tender package. This included learning how to draw wall finishes, fire strategy and solar analysis plans. I assisted in detail drawings of the different types of exterior wall joining the floors and roof as well as scheduling external windows and doors. This involved creating Revit families (3D model of doors and windows) which were then hosted into the main Revit model.The lower floor of the building consists of a brick plinth, so the windows had to be created to fit brick dimensions.
