Using the slope of the roofs creates a junctional node at which both parts of the scheme are now able to converge succesfully

There may be possibilities to encorperate a sedum roof or wall later on in the development, this sustainable feature would help to enhance a biodiverse city centre and would gift drainage and cooling benefits to the area.

The entrance location envokes an large area of glazing that continues around the to the north face.

Glazing has been applied to the south elvevation to increase levels of solar gain. Aswell as providing the occupant with maxium light and warmth, it engages with the steet to creative an active frontage. The ground floor is partially submerged into the sloped landscape both north and westward, thus the low rise structure is un obtrusive to the residense of macklin street also maintaining the current defining viasta of the Cathedral.

form is still not completley coherent, spatial devevlopment will inform mass shape requirements in greater depth., see page 4.

Floor Plan Development

Ground Floor layout. Scale 1:500 @ A4 Drawing influnce from precedent studies, many key constituent aspects of the scheme have now been established. Indicative layouts illustrate an interaction of facilities within the building and will remain consitant in location and formation relative to the proggression of form. The development of the bridge motivates further changes to plate profiels (see below) thus altering mass and ceiling heights; p l a n n e d w o r k a b l e s p a c e f o r t h e s e c o n d s t r o r e y w i l l f o l l o w.

Changing the profile of the plates will enable manipulation of angle A and therefore angle B which ultimately aims to increase C from 4.8m to 6.4m. Extending and simultaneously tilting the profile adds texture to the south face whilst tying the m a i n b o d y a n d t a i l s e c t i o n s t o g e t h e r m o r e c o h e r e n t l y.

As current site vistas want to be maintained height is limited by the surrounding development, specifically the residential settlements on Macklin Street. The diagonally climbing skin also sets parameters for ceiling heights. Integrating a mezzanine floor over the first in strategic areas exploits both these restriction and increases usable volume

The Depth of the space utilizes an area otherwise unused within the scheme and simultaneously allows a drop in the slab for the floor above crreating a change in level for the studio space directly above. This drop is ideal for concealing the structural works required to support the large span arcross the auditorium. A d l e r, D . ( 1 9 9 9 ) .

The triangular shape, typical of the scheme, has also been developed to allow sound to diminish from the point source effectively at a distance of 25m without the aid of a microphone. The venue is public and can be privately hired like many of the HUBB facilities. The Plan to the right shows the location of the ‘well’ in context to the building scale and form. Natural Light will penetrate the glazing more during summer than winter due to changes insolar altitude.

Levels and Glazing

First and second floor offices interact and merge in certain areas with the schmeme. The bespoke form provides opportunities to create interesting and unique internal environments which will likley benefit the end u s e r. T h e i m a g e s s h o w a n a p p r o x i m a t i o n o f h o w t h e s e c o n d l e v e l w i l l c o m m u n i c a t e a n d s u g g e s t s t h e p o s s i bility of open ceilings with balconies overlooking the lower levels. It also provides a clear divide between likley hierachy within a working environment.

The Idea Behind the Glazing was to create original and interesting, yet functional and technically relavent â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;light gatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; into the building. The shapes where to reflect that both of the shceme and cladd design. the glazing was placed in areas that would waqnt to recive most natural light during the darker months, hence a skylighted celiing for much of the roof area. Glavzing was added to suit the basice plan layout a n d r o o m f u c t i o n a l i t y. R o o m s o n t h e l o w e r l e v v e l s , p a r t i a l l y submerged have been given sufficent natural light if there usage requires it. Rooms however light the photo development areas have not.

Materiality The correct materiality is vital to the scheme as the harsh angular form should be emphasized rather than supressed by the limitations of a covering. Although the use of concrete was considered, the lack of colour and finish choice meant that overcladding was a nesseity if the desired style was to be achived. This logically led to a rainscreen cladding approach. The pallete of materials and colours however are vast thus presedent research allowed analysis into appropriate finish ideas. There are obvious practical requirements of the cladding such as weathering and construction but at this stage refernce to a typical reseller such as BenchMark (kings p a n ) p r o v i d e d a n a d e q u e t e c r o s s s e c t i o n o f a v a i l a b i l i t y.

Once the material and colour has been established, further presendents identified the ability to cut the clad in complete irregular patterns. This approach Gave the development an edge of originality and offered a possible solution to solving the inevitable arising of issues when angular junctions fuse or a variety of building lines merge at a sigle node. Inspiration derrived mainly from a sigle architectual firm; delugan meissl associated architects in erl austria. Their work is examplified in the images above. A large variation of tesselation approaches were undertaken to experiment with shapes and geometric relationships. Consideration was given to scale and fixing joints to ensure, at least first, the design was plausible. The final patters (right) where designed and taken forward for development. The textures were applied/rotated on basic angualar shapes to research and establish the best approach. From the three final candiates (shown far right) the favourite was selected for the final design. Below is a break down of its development in progressive stages. The tesselations are based around the irregular and random form, the shapes are intended to complement and add to the meshed yet cohesive overall materplan
