This year has been without a doubt the time when my progression within the field of Architectural Studies has improved the most rapidly. My first inclination is to suggest that perhaps this is due to the aquiration of knowledge in using a very useful BIM and presentation toolAutodesk’s Revit Architecture, however on further contemplation it is more the framework of how I perceive architectural language and the great leaps I have felt in being able to ‘control space.’ Looking at my stage 2 work I realise that it was always my inability to get to grips with efficient ways of working and good work- flow patterns in terms of presentation that would let me down and prevent me from thinking about the aspects of architecture that really matter- such as materiality, ambience, flow and communication. Presentation has never been my strong point- a flaw that I put down to my background as an abstract/ expressionist artist: I entered this course with a naive defiance to social norms and conditioning. I was under the impression that the rigid quadrilaterals that most of us spend our entire lives in could be somehow fought against with
less regular geometries. It is amusing to see that my design proposals have slowly become less defiant in this way, evolving from a student guesthouse with nearly no straight walls in early stage 2 to an angular banqueting hall; followed by a still unconventional film archive but with much more pure geometries and a greater simplicity of form. I would say that it was the Middlesbrough film archive project that really gave me the greatest leap in terms of grades and architectural communication and spacemaking, yet the graduation project has given me something even greater- the appreciation for the beauty of the right angle- the square is a fantastic symbol of human cosmology and creation and orientates us in our perceptions of reality. The charette project at the very start of the year was a huge success. I really hope that this idea is repeated for many years to come as it gives a great platform for not only social interaction between stages, but is mutually beneficial in providing understanding of exactly how much improvement is made year by year.
It is also a good opportunity to employ skills of leadership and co-operation, whilst finding ways of taking exciting and fresh ideas and converting them into more sophisticated architectural statements. As I already mentioned the ease of presentation and work-flow improvements provided by Revit meant that the Middlesbrough project was hugely succesful for me. Yet this aquiredskill helped the most by inspiring me to find methods of working that are non-destructive; where nothing goes to waste and imperfections need to be accepted in order to move on quickly and communicate as much as possible to others. I feel now that this fexibility is essential in refining design ideas and systematically working through a project to secure a higher chance of success. This area could still be greatly improved as I am generally a slow worker and tend to not be able to accept imperfections so that the project can progress. In this way I usually do not have a great deal of development work as I ofen do not have the time. I really need to take these ideas and ap-
ply them to my design methodology- so that creating development drawings and models become second nature. I have never had a series of development models to present in a final crit but can see how this is essential in exploring novel ideas fast and without wasting time. The graduation project was my most effective project in terms of simplicity of concept and it’s translation into a built form. This came more out of trial and error than a systematic approach, so even though I am happy with the outcome I realise that a more reliable method is needed. The intensive analysis stage and detailed site modeling was definately invaluable in developing a good mental projection and understanding of the site. Another area where great improvement is needed is in the understanding of detailing and building science. I feel that a greater knowledge would greatly benefit my design and crafting techniques- the elements
that can make up a building are to the architect like the palette is to the artistic. Similarly a more careful analysis of precedents would definately inform my designs and is usually an aspect I fail to adress: even though this is something I am not too worried about at the moment due to the conceptual and hypothetical nature of most of our projects to date. However the principles and theories module was definately very informative in terms of analysing exemplary architecture and learning from it. Overall I feel as though I am at the begining of finding a consistent architectural style and approach. I like to be minimal with the application of materials and details and prefer to think of independent spaces as forms in their own right. Interestingly both projects this year can be disected in this way to leave independent buildings within the whole. I also feel that my presentations reflect this desire to articulate strongly the differentiations of spaces
since I tend to focus on trying to sell my building with few simple yet informative images. I am always more interested in trying to provoke the feeling I intend to be felt in a space to the viewer than working on presentation for the sake of presentation. Being greatly opposed to shallow aesthetics and modern advertising or architectural ‘unique selling points’- I don’t necessarily feel this is a bad thing. `However the clarity and order of my presentations still have alot of work to go. I definately feel that the last three years have taught me how to think like an architect and I feel competent in being able to move into the professional world with ease. Often there is alot of angst and worry involved in presenting buildings that are bold or unusual, yet I think for many exploring such options is important in order to learn why it is that such proposals are indeed unusual. Even so the university has not diminished this desire for novelty and creativy, and for this I am grateful.

THE NORTHERN MUSIC ROOMS This centre of music aims to be anything but an institution. By aiming to build an indoor street an urban living room is created, sheltering passers-by from the wind and rain or opening up to the summer air. It was never an intention to create a school but more a place for congregation, where many sounds and interesting things were happening on multiple levels. In this way it is the music and the sounds that dictate the space, and are the most important part of the centre. The large areas of glazing make sure that ample light enters the street and through to the residential block behind, whilst mainting the alley- atmosphere at the back of the site with tall walls. Solar shading has been employed to minimize glare and to help prevent over-heating. Inspired by street- artists, the centre offers a flexible program, with a comfortable environment for many to use with little or no cost. Music study rooms with basic recording equipment are provided, which anyone can use to capture their sonic creations. This freedom of use is surveilled by a small administrative team who observe from high vantage points. The alleyways of Grainger Towen converge into this building where with the existing exposed building and the new insertion with balconies and alcoves create a new alleyway and the pedestrian feels as though the worlds of interior and exterior have blended into one.

Architecture is about life. The buildings around us are to some extent a reecon of our cosmologies or that of those involved in the many processes surrounding the symphony of building. Good architecture represents the values and world-views of the people who use it and by doing so sases our funconal emoonal and even spiritual needs when this is deemed important. I believe the Sage Gateshead by Foster and Partners represents a building which has taken into account the needs of its users and surrounding community to an exemplary degree… In 1997, Foster and Partners won the oeon to e rhtets o Gateshead’s new us entre out o 100 regstered alants.

STRUCTURAL INTENT The fundamental conceptual aim of the building was to bring back a sense of identity to Middlesbrough through its industrial heritage. Therefore, from the onset I was interested in creating a very simple, industrial aesthetic that is honest and easily read by using a structure that is robust and visible. Apart from the circulation and service towers, the two main forms of the building are in contrast, evoking the relationship Middlesbrough has with its old and new town. It was important for me to make this clear by using different structural systems for each, one being heavy, the other light. I did not want to reflect any existing local building types since these were few and variant, so I decided upon structural concrete for the lower form and a lightweight panelised load-bearing, cold formed steel wall system for the auditorium. This steel box would be the predominant image and identity of the building, standing out from the concrete being separated from it by light flooded gaps. The supports for this box would be massive and simple, echoed in the towers for continuity.

I find the management section of the BREEAM assessment to be an extremely important process in the overall sustainability of construction since the category takes into account and calls for the involvement of a large scope of people into the project, making the most of inter-disciplinary expertise, pushing towards a socially inclusive process and diminishing any margins of error. Similarly, the publication of building information is particularly significant since I feel there is a need for contemporary practices to develop values of transparent design decisions, and improved communication of ideas within the architectural community and with other disciplines such as the sciences. This can expand the database of evidence for design and allow faster improvements in the sustainability of architecture. Development as a learning resource is an aspect I myself did not take into account but is undoubtedly important for the same reasons of knowledge sharing.
Two additional innovation credits can be awarded where evidence provided demonstrates the building is designed to be a True zero carbon building (in terms of building services and operational energy demand).
Innovation
Ene 5: Low or Zero Carbon Technologies
A local LZC energy technology has been installed in line with the recommendations of a compliant feasibility study and this method of supply results in a 20% reduction in the building’s CO2 emissions. Where sub meters are fitted to allow individual water-consuming plant or building areas to be monitored such as cooling towers, car washes, catering areas, etc. If the building does not have any major water consuming plant this exemplar credit is not available. Each sub meter has a pulsed output to enable connection to a Building Management System (BMS) for the monitoring of water consumption.
Innovation Wat 2: Water Meter
In addition to the above, for sites with multiple departments e.g. large health centres or acute hospitals, separate pulsed sub meters are fitted on the supply to the following areas where present: a. Staff and public areas b. Clinical areas and wards c. Letting areas: On the water supply to each tenant unit d. Laundries e. Main production kitchen f. Hydrotherapy pools g. Laboratories h. CSSD/HSDU, pathology, pharmacy, mortuary and any other major process water user. One exemplary BREEAM credit can be awarded as follows:

Overall I feel as though the transport section may be given a slightly higher weighting than necessary since this is most likely down to external factors and the building may rely on shared or public car parking. On the other hand it is reassuring to see that a buildings energy performance is now penalised for its construction away from public transport, yet the question there is if it is indeed sustainable to deter development in such areas. Furthermore, perhaps the water section deserves a higher rating considering “there is also an energy component in storing and transporting it” and that fresh water is ultimately our most valuable resource, threatened by global warming and unprecedented population growth. (Peter S. Smith, Architecture in a Climate of Change: A Guide to Sustainable Design (Architectural Press, 2005) p.115)

Having scored quite low in the materials, energy and waste categories, I feel as though the assessment may still be slightly too kind to rate the project as being ‘very good,’ since in my opinion we should be working towards the majority of the factors tested for becoming common practice in the U.K.
The simplicity of the building and its elements means that there is a great reduction in materials when compared to a building of the same scale built on conventional levels. The simplicity also means that changes can easily be made in the future, in the ground floor hall in particular where light-weight partitions create all the room’s spaces. This space can ultimately bed used for a variety of functions and the building as a whole could operate as an auditorium and exhibition space with any theme. There is an opportunity for sourcing reclaimed metal elements for the construction of the auditorium, especially due to the huge steel-manufacturing history of Middle haven. This would also represent a material of cultural and environmental value. I have decided upon using Insulated Concrete Formwork for the concrete construction due to its incredibly high green guide rating of A+. With a U value of 0.15 W/ m2k this represents an extremely valuable material that has little to non Eco toxicity and can recycled. The use of large voids such as in the curtain wall walkways element would encourage stack ventilation and the concrete floors and walls on the south side of the building would act as thermal masses to collect solar energy in winter.
