SPACE ETHOS & RESEARCH
BRISTOL WATER MUSEUM SPACE ETHOS
WHAT HAD INSPIRED MY SPACE ETHOS: In my design I was to encompasses and express a number of things, this might be through the design of the building or through exhibits inside the space.
Firstly I want my building to pay homage to Bristol's rich history, in both industry and its part in creating the first glass of tap water. As well as have relevance and celebrate it’s location at Bristol Harbour; Bristol Harbour is known as the Floating Harbour because water levels were unaffected by the tides, it was also the birth place of Bristol Water. In addition, I would like my building to educate on the social and cultural aspects of water. Climate change affects the worlds work hugely, flooding, droughts and temperature rises are destroying habitats, water supplies and ultimately damaging life across the world. In third work countries water availability is becoming less and less predictable in many places, and increased incidences of flooding threaten to destroy water points and sanitation facilities and contaminate water sources. Thirdly, I want to highlight the ‘The Sustainable Development Goals Of The United Nations’ particularly those directly related to water – goals 6, 7, 13 and 14. These involve making water readily available and safe to drink for everyone across the world, its use in creating sustainable energy, for example through tidal energy, looking at water conservation so we waste less water and reduce the water industry on the world climate and finally helping to nurture and protect life below water, this is particularly challenging at Bristol harbour because of it’s toxic waters.
EDUCATIONAL, INTERACTIVE & IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE
I also want to create a museum that is an interactive & immersive experience for both adults and children. For this element I have been inspired by ‘Magna’s Water Pavilion’ who have an interactive exhibit that explores the astonishing world of water including a huge, steel water wheel that seems to power the pavilion. And finally I want to link my museum with ‘The Global Network of Water Museums’, they aim to rearticulate and re-energize the unique relationship that humanity has with water - the most precious source of all life. They want to connect past and present knowledge, sustainable water uses and management practices with the future needs of humans and the biosphere as a whole and reinvigorate out connection to our shared water heritage which will hopefully pave the way for a paradigm shift in managing our water environments.
RELEVANCE TO ITS LOCATION AND AREA HISTORY
BRISTOL WATER MUSEUM THE HUMAN RELATIONSHIP WITH WATER
BRISTOL WATER MUSEUM THE GLOBAL NETWORK OF WATER MUSEUMS
The Global Network of Water Museums aims to inform, motivate, connect and mobilize authorities and citizens to re-articulate and re-energize the unique relationship which humanity has with water, as the most precious source of all life. The mission of WAMU-NET is to provide an impetus for connecting past and present knowledge, sustainable water uses and management practices with the future needs of humans and the biosphere as a whole. A reinvigorated connection to our shared water heritage will pave the way for a paradigm shift in managing our water environments. The overall goal of the Global Network is to reach new audiences worldwide in order to foster and communicate new visions for more enlightened water management, in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this context, the Global Network actively promotes a new relationship between humanity and water: a new water ethics, which helps to reconnect people with the tangible and intangible heritage of water, including its social, cultural, ecological, artistic and spiritual dimensions.
Water museums display, all around the world, a unique repository of different forms of humankind’s connections with water and its natural, cultural, tangible and intangible heritage. They exhibit and interpret artefacts, techniques and traditional knowledge to preserve and promote the world’s outstanding variety of water-related values and heritage that have been passed down through civilizations, from generation to generation, and still inform and can influence everyday life today. The Global Network of Water Museums calls on people and institutions to implement urgent actions to repair our deteriorated relationship with the most precious liquid element on the Earth, and to operate within the frame of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Today many water museums and institutions operate in isolation from each other. There is a pressing need to exchange experiences and best practices more fully through a larger network, so that new water perceptions and more sustainable management models can be developed for the emergence of a “new water culture”. In this perspective, museums can play today a key role in water awareness education, linking ancient knowledge to contemporary agendas for developing sustainable solutions to the global water crisis.
The challenges of growing water scarcity, depletion of resources, pollution, desertification, melting glaciers and disrupted patterns of floods and droughts as a result of climate change, together with dramatic declines in both biological and cultural diversity, and displacement of entire human populations, cannot be resolved through purely technocratic approaches. In recent decades, technocratic approaches have conceived and used water mainly as a means of supporting economic development at all costs. Simultaneously, however, water’s presence in the human environment, and its ways of functioning, have been made increasingly “invisible” and far from people’s consciousness – thus, making its multiple values more vulnerable than ever. There is a need to reinterpret our inherited and multiple “water worlds” for a new vision that will promote more enlightened water management. This is challenging. Holistic, multidisciplinary and innovative perspectives are now essential to overcome unduly narrow technocratic approaches that have proved to be an inadequate response to this challenge. This is the start of a new “water civilization” with a more far-sighted vision.
CHOOSING A SITE
BRISTOL WATER MUSEUM CHOOSING A SITE
SITE THREE:
PROS
CONS
✓ Interesting industrial area ✓ Close to an existing museum ✓ Has interesting features around the site e.g. cranes ✓ Newly developed area behind site ✓ Lots of pedestrian traffic
✗ Sun path, sun blocked
in the south ✗ Existing footpath and railway tracks block the building from direct access to the water
SITE TWO:
SITE ONE:
PROS ✓ Attractions located around it ✓ Close proximity to bars, restaurants and clubs ✓ good solar opportunities ✓ Central the main harbour area
CONS ✗ Footpath blocks runs
along the waters edge ✗ few people walking by this site
PROS
✓ open site located on a corner plot ✓ good solar opportunities ✓ Relatively popular with the public ✓ close to the road ✓ Easy access to the water
CONS ✗ No existing footpath
running through or around the site ✗ Set away from any other attractions ✗ Not in the central harbour area
BRISTOL WATER MUSEUM CHOOSING A SITE – THE RAILWAY SITE
SITE THREE: SITE CONDITIONS: This is my personal favourite out of the three. Its landscape and aesthetic is completely different to the other two. This site has very industrial feel to it, located behind it are a number of newly developed shops, cafes, bars and restaurants divided by a cycle route bringing many people to this area. In addition to the east of the site you have the M-Shed a very popular museum a gallery that bring people/tourists to this area. Out of all three sites this had the highest flow of people walking through and past, meaning it could be an ideal location to increase visitors. However, This site has challenges with its sun path, the site is almost completely blocked in the south which does make it relatively dark through the day.

this site has many interesting features, on and around it. Firstly, it gives me the unique opportunity of refurbishing a touchstone in the harbours history, its a sustainable way of creating the building. It also has access to the old railway tracks in front of the building, I would like to utilise these in the creation of the temporary exhibition space. Giving the museums and outdoors sculptural element that draws the public closer to the space. In addition this site has great views across the harbour and towards many landmarks in the area, this gives me the opportunity to frame some perspectives in my building and uses these as exhibits.

BRISTOL WATER MUSEUM SITE ANALYSIS
These diagrams highlight the flow of traffic through the site neighbourhood. This allows me to see where my active frontage may need to be in order to attract users as well as helping me to determined where the most convenient entrance and access to the building may need to be. I found that around the site there were many one-way roads or taxi/bus lanes, these significantly reduces the flow of vehicle traffic through the site. However, foot-traffic was extremely high at all times, it was especially popular with runners around mid-day and during the evening.
TRAFFIC DIAGRAM – MONDAY 8:00
TRAFFIC DIAGRAM – WEDNESDAY 8:00 On a Monday morning work traffic is the main source of activity. This causes the flow of traffic on most roads to be moderate or slow moving, due to the one-way roads around Bristol the traffic is slower moving.
At mid-day on a Saturday, it is much busier at this time than any other day of the week, the city is popular with shoppers during the weekend which is evident in the traffic being very slow in the shopping district of the city.
TRAFFIC DIAGRAM – SATURDAY 16:00
In the late afternoon on a Wednesday traffic has increased to its highest of the day and the week so far, this highlights the number of people leaving work in the city is relatively high mid-week.
In the late afternoon, the traffic has subsided somewhat, quieter than the other two days I have looked at, however traffic on some roads has remained moderate, especially in the east of the city.
TRAFFIC DIAGRAM – SATURDAY 20:00
TRAFFIC DIAGRAM – WEDNESDAY 20:00 In the evening on a Monday traffic has reduced to it’s quietest. Flow is very slow and only reaching moderate in a few areas where one-way roads are located. Their purpose is to slow down traffic.
VERY SLOW
Saturday morning traffic is almost nonexistent, this is the quietest time of the week so far, this is due to it being a weekend and there are much fewer people commuting into work. People visiting the city are much more likely to visit later in the day.
At mid-day on a Wednesday the roads are relatively quiet and traffic flow is fast in most areas, the east of the city always appears more congested than the west.
During the afternoon road traffic has increased again to moderate and slow moving, dur to workers leaving the city on their commute home and children leaving the schools in the centre.
SLOW
TRAFFIC DIAGRAM – SATURDAY 12:00

MODERATE
On a Wednesday morning traffic is much higher than on a Monday, most roads have a moderate or slow flow of traffic, it appears more people are commuting into the city for work on a Wednesday.
At mid-day traffic has reduces significantly after the morning commuters have left the roads however roads near the shopping centres have remained busy and traffic flow has increased in these areas.

TRAFFIC SPEED LEGEND:
On a Wednesday evening traffic is much less than on a Monday evening which is interesting, it appears less people are visiting or in the city mid-week. Traffic is very fast in almost all areas.
Saturday evening traffic is surprisingly low considering it being the main time people might be going out on a weekend. It is equal to the traffic seen on a Wednesday night. The traffic is still moderate in areas where bars are located.

BRISTOL WATER MUSEUM GREEN SPACE AROUND THE HARBOUR
HARDMAN SQUARE PAVILION BY SHEPPARD ROBSON
INTRODUCING GREEN SPACE INTO MY DESIGN I need to reclaim some green space on this site in order to make the harbour side an enjoyable environment for all living things. By providing green space on and around my design I give the opportunity to support biodiversity in the rea, making travel distances from green space o green space much shorter for animals, insects and all living things. Providing green space can also improve our physical and mental health's, so including green space in my design will be extremely beneficial as well as aesthetically pleasing.
CREATION OF GREEN SPACE IN AN URBAN AREA I really like the use of balconies and vertical gardens in this design, something I really want to include in my work, the way that this being completely contrasts with the surrounding buildings is something I find really interesting. In addition to this, I really like the steel frame, a harsh and solid material against a softer natural wooden cladding, this makes the structure much softer and welcoming, and for such a boxy form it creates a much more fluid and light appearance. Finally the shape of this building is, on the surface, a basic rectangular form in plan, a sharp that would work really well on my chosen site

HARBOUR SHEDS: Bristol Harbour defined all the buildings that surrounded it as sheds, these sheds have a huge part in the harbour’s history and build the majority of Wapping Wharf. The sheds themselves worked as part of the nearby railway and coal yards and were historically used as storage of cargo for these industries. The sheds
The harbours have sheds running along it’s edges labelled alphabetically.

WAVE SUPERPOSITION SURFACE WATER TENSION
WHAT IS WAVE SUPERPOSITION IN WATER:
When two or more waves arrive at the same point, they superimpose themselves on one another. More specifically, the disturbances of waves are superimposed when they come together—a phenomenon called superposition. Each disturbance corresponds to a force, and forces add. Waver superposition can happen in many different instances such as in sound however, more specifically in water, it involves water surface tension,
Adding: If two waves meet each other in step, they add together and reinforce each other. They produce a much higher wave, a wave with a greater amplitude.
Cancelling: If two waves meet each other out of step, they cancel out.
If you throw a pebble into a pond, ripples spread out from where it went in. These ripples are waves travelling through the water. The waves move with a transverse motion. The undulations (up and down movement) are at 90° to the direction of travel.

CLIMATE CHANGE EXHIBIT ONE
BRISTOL WATER MUSEUM EXHIBIT IDEA RESEARCH – CLIMATE CHANGE Water plays a pivotal role in how the world mitigates and adapts to the effects of climate change. An integrated view on water, the biosphere and environmental flows is required to devise sustainable agricultural and economic systems that will allow us to decelerate climate change, protect us from extremes and to adapt to the unavoidable at the same time.
FUELS ALGEA BLOOMS, LOWERS SNOWPACK AND DESTROYS HABITATS
DAMAGES CROPS AND SHRINKS WATER SUPPLY FOR ANIMALS & HUMANS
Higher temperatures and more extreme, less predictable, weather conditions are projected to affect availability and distribution of rainfall, snowmelt, river flows and groundwater, and further deteriorate water quality. Lowincome communities, who are already the most vulnerable to any threats to water supply are likely to be worst affected. More floods and severe droughts are predicted. Changes in water availability will also impact health and food security and have already proven to trigger refugee dynamics and political instability
Water is the primary medium through which we will feel the effects of climate change. Water availability is becoming less predictable in many places, and increased incidences of flooding threaten to destroy water points and sanitation facilities and contaminate water sources. In some regions, droughts are exacerbating water scarcity and thereby negatively impacting people’s health and productivity. Ensuring that everyone has access to sustainable water and sanitation services is a critical climate change mitigation strategy for the years ahead.

BRISTOL WATER MUSEUM CLIMATE CHANGE EXHIBIT – CONCEPTUAL AGENDA
WATER PAVILLION AT MAGNA During my research I looked at Magna museum, I was particularly inspired by the water pavilion. This was a ‘floating pod’ that was suspended within g the museum space, this pod has its own atmosphere, lighting and space which would be perfect to create a space with its own climate and exhibition. Temperature would be very easy to control in the space which is what I would like to do in my climate change exhibit. This desire is ideal for creating an immersive experience.

WINDOWS IN THE M-SHED
Located to the east of the site is the M-Shed a famous Bristol museum that celebrates the city’s history including it’s water history, in the museum were these slot like windows with model boats on the sills, this immediately inspired my initial concept, boats on the water. The way the window framed the view of the harbour and gave the illusion the model boats were part of the harbour was really really inspiring for me. In my design I want to use the existing railway tracks to create moving exhibits that move as if they’re boats on the water and are part of the harbours surrounding, all behind a frames perspective of the harbour.

BRISTOL WATER MUSEUM WATER POLUTION RESEARCH
Greywater is water that becomes “dirty” when it is used. There are various “shades” of greywater. For instance, greywater from our offshore kitchen is laden with grease, fat, and food particles, while greywater from bathroom hand washing is laced with E. coli bacteria.
Rainwater takes a 6 kilometre skydive. On its descent, through the urban atmosphere it absorbs particulate pollution, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. This tainted rainwater spills off the roofs of the University buildings and funnels through a collection system for reuse.
Basinwater comes from rainwater that lands on the Tempelhof Airport building, airfield and Columbiadamm Road. Currently, this tonic of automobile oil, vulcanized rubber, cigarette chemicals, and trash drains into our large, open air basin where Floating University ‘floats’ and then drops into the canal system and flows to the Spree River.
Blackwater is the most delicious. Produced by toilet water’s interaction with human waste, blackwater is full of nutrients for plants as well as pathogens. It’s possible to use aerobic decomposition to turn blackwater into fertilizer and anaerobic digestion to create methane gas for cooking.

THIS EXHIBIT:
Reflection pool exhibit is comprised of a water filtration system that filters and cleans this pool of water and provides water to the cafe in the museum. This means that visitors get to see the exhibition in action and enjoy the products from it. This exhibition might be visible from outside and inside meaning visitors can enjoy the exhibits from the street running by the museum as well as through the glass floor.

BRISTOL WATER MUSEUM LIGHT AND DARK SPACES
LIGHT SPACES - WHITE
DARK SPACES - BLACK
These are the spaces that receive the most daylight, these spaces can take advantage of the west and light and the views over the.
FRONT ELEVATION NORTH FACING
The higher spaces in the south facade don't have their light blocked by surrounding buildings, meaning these could be light spaces.
BACK ELEVATION SOUTH FACING
The lower spaces will be made completely dark by the shadows cast by surrounding buildings, these are ideal for screening spaces, dark spaces etc.
These spaces are blocked by surrounding buildings, meaning they have very little daylight and are ideal locations for rooms requiring low light.
FRONT ELEVATION NORTH FACING
Some of these spaces still need access to views, however the contrast in the light conditions may help frame the perspectives.
BACK ELEVATION SOUTH FACING
The south facade does receive the most sun because of the sun path however it doesn’t have much access to this light because of surrounding buildings.

The size of the north west window is kept small to reduce potential heat-loss from here during winter.
A
Concrete floors To aid night-time cooling and to improve the overall thermal mass of the space and the rest of the building.
B The new addition of windows on the east and north of the space has transformed the ventilation from single sided to cross-ventilation. This has given a much more consistent flow of air through the space and has now met the guidelines set out by ASHRAE for operative temperature in relation to air speed in a relative space. This ventilation has allowed temperatures to be controlled, avoiding overheating.
I C
ACTIVE STRATEDGIES: ATOMATIC WINDOWS & CO2 SENSORS
EXTERNAL FINISH ALUMINIUM RAINSCREEN CLADDING
The south-west glazing has automatic and manual windows in order to control air flow through the space. These windows have been set at 80% open when temperature and CO2 levels are too high in the space. this will help offset summer heat gain and maintain operative temperatures set out by CIBSE and ASHRAE. In this design the rate of air exchange has increased therefore CO2 levels have decreased due to higher oxygen levels from the exchange. This is also because of the CO2 sensors fitted to the automatic windows that can test when the space needs to remove CO2. Improved CO2 levels along with a reduced temperature has created a space that is more comfortable for users.
3 D
INTERNAL MATERIALS: REFLECTIVE SURFACES AND LIGHT COLOURS By giving all surfaces reflective and bright finish it has allowed for the diffusing of light through the space making the previously dark space as the back of the room much brighter. This has aloud daylight to bounce and reflect around the space providing much more consistent lux levels.

I would like this to be used in the internal space of the main structure
Perforated Steel building allows the internal space to feel like an extension of the harbour, keeping its the same climate as outside, the pods then are heated making these feel like floating buildings
immersive experience – metal makes an echoing sound when rain hits the building
Internal Space of the building is relatively dim lit with only small spot lights of light filling the space
The internal space utilises stainless steel ripple effect sheet cladding to mimic a water effect.
Casting blue light onto the metal cladding will give the appearance that the users are underwater
Slice of controlled light cutting through the space from the entrance to the cafe, guiding users in.
The metal will have additional perforations added to make the entire space relatively cold, so the exhibits feel much warmer in comparison, giving the exhibits more impact
