Thesis project.
University of Liverpool 5th year design, 2013
A green Valencia.
T
hesis projects at University of Liverpool are highly encouraged to identify a current or interesting problem and develop an architectural responds to such problem. My thesis project has identified the City of Valencia as being a strong symbol of the economic crisis in Spain and has through investigation and research identified large urban development projects (white elephant projects) who all have created a legacy that has left Valencia in poverty and created large unused, undeveloped and privatised areas in key locations. Further this thesis project recognises the need for finding alternative fuels to ensure a future energy security in Europe. The project sees Algae as a great contender in finding an alternative fuel source. However, Algae as a sustainable substitute for Crude Oil is not yet possible. The thesis project recognises the need for further research in this area and is therefore proposing a public algae research institute. This public facility utilises the potential in Algae photobioreactor façades to create a carbon neutral sustainable architecture which utilises the CO2 emissions from a nearby Harbour industry and connect with the city’s wastewater treatment plant. By extending the linear park through the masterplan development and the Public Algae research facility, the design reconnects the city with its waterfront and allow people to actively engage with the green industry and as a result raise awareness of a more sustainable lifestyle. The dominant architectural feature of the research institute is the spiralling algae bioreactor façade. Extending at its highest point to above twenty metres and spreading itself several hundred metres around the marina bay, it is a formidable structure. It serves a productive function in that it produces algae, the raw material. Algae from this façade will heat and power the building as well as generate algae based fuels and products for export. The idea being that in order to be sustainable, buildings in the future should no longer be mono-functional consumptive but instead be multi-functional and productive. The large size and scale of the façade is due primarily to maximise production rather than solely as an architectural statement.

PROJECT CONTEXT.
T
his thesis project recognises the potential which lies within regeneration of the City of Valencia, Spain. Valencia is a city which has suffered economically beyond the normal image of the recession. Due to political corruption and an eagerness to improve the city’s image at a national and international level. The city has undergone many architectural and urban developments, which have left a legacy with few of no benefits to the city and its residents. The Juan Carlos I Marina is a prime example hereof and has in the past 5 years hosted both the 2007 Americas Cup and the Formula One European Grandprix. Both of which have created a legacy of urban deprivation and poverty. Juan Carlos I Marina is currently mostly privatised, empty or closed. This project seeks to revive Valencia’s Harbour and industry through a green public architecture that addresses current sustainable issues.

S
pain has an unemployment rate presently at 27,1% and studies have shown that the youth unemployment rate is far into the 50’s at 55,9%. Which has big consequences in a knowledge competitive strategy as the Lisbon Strategy. It means that more than half of the University graduates are unable to find jobs. And surveys indicate that many young Spaniards are attempting to seek work elsewhere in Europe. Leaving Spain in more need of professionals and instead suffer from critical ‘brain-drain’. Analysing the statistics within Spain a few regions stands out as having the highest unemployment amongst graduates and young professionals. Together with Spain’s bad economic situation as explained previously, this has resulted in larger parts of the country’s educated seeking jobs elsewhere in Europe and leave Spain suffering from ‘brain-drain’ loosing all their intellectuals. Valencia, a city in the south east part of Spain and is one of the areas with the highest youth unemployment. This project features a three-fold challenge, where addressing the economic and social situation in Valencia through a green alternative to future fuels investigates how architecture can regenerate urban areas and create a greener and more sustainable city.

A predominant concept for this project, has been to achieve a successful connection between the Jardin de Turia and the northern beach. This connection runs naturally through the privatised waterfront area and has great potential for creating a public link which allows Valencia’s residents to re-connect with the waterfront and use it as public activity space.

Can Europe remain reliant on imported Energy in the future? Or is there an alternative? Europe needs to find new alternatives to fossil fuels to ensure energy self sufficiency and security in the future. This Thesis project seeks to find alternatives and investigates methods to improve urban developments, create a more sustainable life style and establish a carbon neutral architecture to ensure a energy security for a future Europe.

ussia is Europe’s main energy supplier. Europe annually imports 56,4% of their fossil energy from Russia and the Middle East. And Europe is ever reliant on Russia to keep supplying the continent with crude oil, natural gas and solid fuels to continue to feed the ever growing energy demands. In 2009 Russia cut supplies through main Ukrainian pipe lines and left a good part if Europe without energy supply for several months.

Identifying the potential.
Is Algae the future?
A
lgae were the first photosynthetic life forms on earth, creating an oxygen rich atmosphere so life could evolve as we know it today. They are also the source of the earths crude oil, when algae bloomed millions of years ago. In the past five years more than a billion dollars have been invested into algae biofuel development. This is due to the many benefits that algae possess. As part of the green initiative and Europe’s energy security situation. Renewable energies and green biofuels have caught many nations attention. Spain has invested many resources into the green biofuel and has become Europe’s leading nation in developing the promising biofuel based on Microalgae crops. New energy sources are being researched every day to replace fossil fuels and reduce CO2 emission world wide. One possible solution could come from Alicante in Spain, where biofuel (or ‘Blue petroleum’) is produced by BFS (Bio Fuel Systems). Bio Fuel Systems (BFS) is a wholly Spanish-owned firm formed in 2006 in eastern Spain after three years of research by scientists and engineers connected with the University of Alicante and the University of Valencia.

Proposed masterplan 1:2500
(not to scale as shown)
The proposed masterplan aims to be a natural extension of the existing city grid surrounding it and at the same time, create strong links to new developments south of the site. The very successful linear park is carried through and it too is divided into sectors, with allotments for the locals, landscaped areas and finally an Algae exhibition Play park area before entering the Algae Research facility.

Ground Floor Plan 1:200
(not to scale as shown)
The Ground floor plan is seen as an area of high priority. It is here the public can circulate and follow the process of the Algae to Biofuel Production and engage closely with the work of the researchers in the different Algae Labs. There are different processes of the Photobioreactor facade. These are all located in the main atrium space, which runs the whole length of the building. The processes are creating a sense of exhibition and have an informative effect on the people who engage with the building. And it is the vision that these facilities will raise awareness and encourage a sustainable lifestyle. The latter part of the building is programmed with functions where visitors can engage actively with the Algae organism. May this be Algae Diving, Algae Library or the Algae Restaurant. This is to utilities and illustrate the large potential of algae in the future.
33
Algae Turbine area The linear park connects with the Algae Biofuel process. This connection in a public environment allows for people to closely engage with the facilities and understand the processes of the green sustainable architecture
34
The Algae Entrance As the visitors enter the building, they are met by the Feeding Vessel. This is the main element in the Algae Photobioreactor Facade system. The Feeding vessel measures the concentration of Algae, CO2 and nutrients in the slurry and ensures that the process proceeds as optimum as possible. The large wastewater and CO2 pipes feed into the custom designed Feeding Vessel and gives the entrance a strong industrial atmosphere.
35

36
The linear park connection continues through the main atrium space all the way through to reconnect with the beach on the north side. The different stages of the Algae Biofuel process is shown along the way and gives the visitors an opportunity to understand and engage with the Algae. The Visitors experience starts with CO2 capturing from the adjacent industry and the wastewater pipes feeding into the large Feeding Vessel in the entrance hall. From there the different equipment processes the algae along the atrium and through the fossilisation process, towards the end, resulting in Algae Bio-Crude Oil.

BSc Degree Project.
Aalborg University BSc final year design, 2010
The Media Office.
T
he BSc final project was developed around a strong office concept, where multiple creative firms were invited to be part of the design process. This project worked closely with four companies and tailored the design around their needs. The internal layout had a public ground floor to act as a new community facility for the locals. As the building steps up towards the 4th floor the areas become gradually more private. The building design was formed based on external site conditions and utilised elements such as views, links, sun and wind exposure to ensure an optimum design response. By creating this curved footprint, the building itself is creating cover for the strong western wind on site and in that process create a lovely south facing terrasse for employers and locals to use in connection with a seafood restaurant. The project was of a more technical character. This meant focus on ventilation strategies, structure dimensioning and meeting all building regulations.

Ventilation Strategies Illustrated is an axonometric layout of the ventilation strategy for the office building. This projects ventilation system configurations were developed and drawn in the simulation program CADvent. The proposed strategy met the building regulation requirements for ventilation and air quality in an office/working environment. This south facing atrium assists to the natural stack ventilation and maintains a comfortable office environment within. The large window additionally ensures passive solar gain in the winter and together with the thermal mass of the concrete adds to the sustainability of the building.

Detailing project.
University of Liverpool 4th year 2-par t project, 2011
Green party free school.
T
his project was separated into two courses through the semester. First brief was to design a small free school for the local green party in Liverpool and second brief was to detail a selected range of project down to a 1:10 level. My initial scheme was chosen for the next process, where I worked with two others to further detail my design. Given the sustainable approach to designing a free secondary school meant great attention was given to location, orientation and room distribution. This design would focus on flexibility and creativity where the educational focus lay on science disciplines. The spatial planning was focused around a large common area, featuring library, IT and assembly Hall. This was the heart of the school and an area where social events and most day-to-day circulation would happen. North facing teaching environments ensured diffuse ambient light for the classrooms and science labs. The north facing walls were constructed with an angle to optimise natural diffuse light. A large south facing with custom designed and manufactured ceramic louvres ensure maximum daylight and solar gain. Further more large concrete surfaces provided thermal mass for great heat storage.

To control the solar gain, the south facing facade uses a custom design ceramic louvre system to minimise heat gain in the summer and maximise light and solar gain in the winter months. Studies and simulations were done virtually using different profiles and coatings to ensure the best possible outcome. 57

Collaboration project
University of Liverpool 5th year master plan project, 2012
Creating a neighbourhood.
T
he Collaboration project was an exercise organised first semester of 5th year. The brief said to develop a cohesive masterplan to regenerate a run down area of Leeds. 12 different groups were allocated a plot each, where each plot had a specific task and individual assignment. In order to create a cohesive masterplan with genuine relationships amongst residents and architecture, groups advised to collaborate and discuss solutions to develop a cohesive masterplan for the area in Leeds. The proposals were ranging from social housing, schools, sports centres, temporary housing and apartment blocks. My proposal focused on the ever rising flood risks in England and specifically the local area in Leeds. The design was a temporary housing and residential scheme, that would accommodate displaced families, couples and individuals who needed a temporary home, whilst their flood damages were repaired and insurance claims were worked out. It worked in close proximity to a sports facility and creative professional housing creating close relations between temporary residents and the facilities in the area.

Green garden The concept of this design was to connect with the adjacent buildings and continue the green axis that was carried throughout the other developments. Additionally as this is a temporary housing scheme for displaced people, the semi-private garden acts as a common space for the residents to interact and socialise with others in a more secure and private setting. To ensure a development of a cohesive masterplan the process of every project was discussed on a weekly basis in design meetings including all groups, architects and tutors.

Liverpool
Aquatics Centre An Aquatics leisure centre as part of a new masterplan development in Liverpool. This project was an extension of a preceding project, where I developed a new masterplan for the Baltic Triangle area in Liverpool. This stadium design, focuses on a sustainable approach to public event architecture. By using a lightweight modular lattice structure and the innovative green materials (EFTE fabric cushions) I was able to design an iconic Aquatics centre for the new Liverpool. And at the same time maintain a strong green strategy for the new Baltic Triangle area, in harmony with the masterplan proposal.

Revit modeling + BIM Arkitema Architects Ye a r - o u t l a r g e s c a l e p r o j e c t 2011
Copenhagen University The large scale of this project, meant that working with Revit with a BIM approach had big advantages. This project worked closely with engineers from a different department. And Revit provided the opportunity for all parties to work with the same file and format. Which meant big advantages with clients and in design meetings. The education facility is an extension of the existing University Campus and are to accommodate the faculty of Law and Theology. More than 2000 students and 400 staff members are using this building on a daily basis. Which set large demands to interior planning, concourse areas and students social and study areas. All of which had to comply with clients requests.

A small residential project, with focus on using Revit as a strong tool to develop and design a residence for a private client. The brief requested full planning application, 1:5 details and a large 1:20 section through the house (both not to scale as shown). The house consists of 2 levels, half a basement and a garage. Window details, flooring, roof tiling and brick patterns were all specified in the process, giving the project a sense of reality and preparing it for construction. Structural dimensions and calculations were carried out specifying spans and slab thickness.

Photography Photographing has over the years become a great passion of mine and I think it is a great opportunity to not only capture holidays, memories and events. But also a very powerful tool to present and visualise ideas, thoughts and concepts. Photographing is a great way to explore architecture and design and can provide a strong link between different interests, such as design, architecture, fashion, motor sport and cars.
