LBBD with Design for London Prepared by muf architecture/art

LBBD believe that the quality of the public realm is vitally important in a borough which is undergoing such dramatic change as Barking. It is the public realm which links the existing fabric and new developments. It is the public realm where existing and new communities meet.

The Barking Code for the Public Realm 2008-2012

Introduction Why a code? The developments and master plans which are currently on the table have different timetables and sources of funding. Equally the streetscape associated with developments will not be implemented in a single go. By developing a simple palette of materials public realm improvements can be delivered in a phased way but in time join up -thus knitting together very different projects with disparate uses and tenures. To achieve this the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (LBBD) has developed the Barking Code which sets out rules for the choice of materials and how they are constructed along with street furniture, lighting and planting. Why a revision? muf architecture/art were commissioned by LBBD with Design for London to revisit the Barking Code for the public realm in Spring 2007. The original Barking Code 2004 was a mixture of guidance and aspiration. Over the last three years LBBD have embarked on implementing a new streetscape. This new gudience draws on lessons learnt ,it will cover all new development from 2008-2012 . In 2012 a new revision will be considered .

Introduction

What is its status? The Barking Code is both menu and a primer. Menu because it details the elements that are authorised for use. Primer because it encompasses a set of principles to be followed when implementing new streetscape and public realm. This code supercedes the Barking Code July 2004. Where does it apply? We have chosen to concentrate on an Extended High Street Network that embraces both Abbey Green and the new proposed open spaces created by the Riverside masterplan it also applies to other sites for residential development such as the Lintons and the Gasgoigne Estate. (see map page 8). Simply the code in its entirity applies everywhere in the extended high street network see maps...

Outside this area in Barking and Dagenham the following applies. All Kerbs must be granite with designed radii. The principles of sustainability and play apply everywhere in the borough . Simply, the code is understood as a set of principles and street furniture that can be applied throughout the borough.

Principles

1. Use a simpliďŹ ed palette of quality materials and high quality of workmanship on site. 2. Create a simple and robust streetscape that acts as a foil for lyrical interventions. 3. Limit carbon footprint through the careful speciďŹ cation of materials . 4. Prioritise pedestrian movement over car use. 5. Enable equal and inclusive use and enjoyment of the public realm for all ages. 6. Including play as an essential dimension for the public realm 7. Make ease of future maintenance an essential foundation for any proposal. 8. Enable events to take place through the provision of appropriate infrastructure.

Sustainability

The design of the public realm is a key tool in ensuring that Barking town centre is well adapted to climate change. Long-term sustainability in the built environment is a central concern of all future developments in Barking. Carbon saving and the eﬃcient use of resources are become benchmarks for quality design in all aspects of future public works. Ways and means of adapting to climate change Careful slelection of building materials which minimise the heat island effect, provision of shading and attractive outdoor seating,managing storm water, maximising trees and vegetation (particulary those which are effective air conditioners and drought resistant), See “Adapting to climate change by design”. Design And Construction Both during construction and over the lifetime of all future developments suitable measures are taken to minimise the use of energy and materials, and reduce pollution and waste. ‘A Sustainability Checklist for Developments: a common framework for developers and local authorities’ (A Building Research Establishment publication) is an essential tool for use in measuring the suitability of all proposed developments. Building Materials Consideration should be given to the Life-Cycle impact of all materials used. To help mitigate the negative impact on the environment caused by building materials preference needs to be given to materials with a low embodied energy. Wherever possible materials will be recycled on site (for example Aggregates), or locally sourced. The

page 9

The Barking Code for the Public Realm 2008-2012

‘Green Guide to Specifications’ (available from the Building Research Establishment) will be referred to during the procurement process. Also refer to the BRE Green Guide to Specification. Sustainable Urban Drainage An integrated approach to water management should be adopted in accordance with “The Interim Code of Practice for Sustainable Drainage Systems’ (available on the CIRIA website http://www.ciria.org.uk/suds). The design of SUDS presents an opportunity for creating public amenities within the borough. Renewable Energy Barking is an Energy Action Area and as such all public institutions requiring energy should generate at least 10% of their energy from renewable sources. Waste Routes for recycling Recycling infrastructure should inform street design and layout. Public recycling facilities will be integrated into the design of other street furniture and form part of coherent streetscape. Managing high temperatures: 1) Cool pavement materials on roadways or large parking areas – to increase surface reflectivity (though it is important to avoid glare problems) or increase permeability to benefit from the cooling effects of evaporation; 2) Increased use of ponds, roadside swales, flood balancing lakes, swimming pools and fountains; 3) Evaporative cooling effects from a matrix of green corridors, smaller open spaces, street trees, and green or living roofs; may provide additional water in times of drought.

page 10

Design Guidelines

Managing flood risk 1) Impermeable surfaces can be replaced by SUDS, such as permeable pavement, gravel or grass so that water can soak away. Within parks and greenspaces storage areas, such as infiltration ponds, can be constructed 2) Smaller scale hard barriers or managed realignment schemes; 3) Widening drains to increase drainage capacity; 4) Managing flood pathways and removing ‘pinchpoints’ so that heavy rains can drain away. Managing water resources and quality 1) Xeriscaping, or low water use planting, can greatly reduce water demand; 2) Rainwater harvesting and storage from roofs or other surfaces for future use (normally toilet flushing and irrigation). This strategy can also increase soil moisture levels for vegetation, sustaining evaporative cooling and reduce risk of urban flooding; 3) More use of reclaimed and recycled water, produced after advanced treatment and filtering of wastewater and stormwater. This result in high quality water suitable for irrigation and non-drinking water uses such as toilet flushing; 4) In order to sustain the evaporative cooling function of vegetation rainwater harvesting, underground storage and accessing new supplies of lower grade ground water may provide additional water in times of drought.

Surface Materials

A very limited palette for paving gives continuity, coherence and a sense of active civic guardianship of the public realm. Materials for new streetscape projects within the High Street Network are limited to granite paving, asphalt and clear resin bound gravel. Mix areas of hard landscaping with areas of permeable ground . Doing paving well is all important for LBBDthis ranges from the design of granite kerbs, to the design of utility covers (see TFL link)

page 12

Design Guidelines

Granite Paving for the High Street Network Silver grey granite for pavement surfaces and kerbs. Larger sized pieces of silver grey granite can be specified for the new ‘quayside’ public spaces being proposed as extensions to the high street network. Care should be taken before specifying granite for trafficked areas. 1 Granite Kerbs A considered kerb brings grace to the footway. Within the high street network kerbs should be silver grey granite 300mm wide. Elsewhere they can be 150mm wide. Granite kerbs should be at a radius whenever change of direction occurs. Asphalt /Tarmac A wearing course of Hot Rolled Asphalt (HRA) should be used for all carriageways throughout Barking. Asphalt can be used for pavement areas outside the High Street Network, specifically in the streets identified as 20th Century housing. Clear resin bound Gravel A clear resin bound natural buff rounded gravel can be used for cycle routes, park footpaths and tree surrounds. Along the river edge: Tactile Paving Tactile paving should match the general paving surface within which it is located for uncontrolled crossings. Concrete Paving Beyond the High Street Network footways are paved in concrete paving or asphalt. Pavers should be 750x600. Concrete paving should be designed cut and laid with the same care as granite paving. Flags should be tightly cut and filled without small units.

1 The use of granite paving in areas with regular vehicular overrun will need to be discussed in detail with LBBD’s highway enginners and current tendency is to avoid it except in areas where trafﬁc speeds of less than 20mph are naturally enforced.

Street furniture

The quality of street furniture and the precision of its placement is a simple and immediate means of enhancing the quality of the public realm. It is in street furniture that components at the scale of the hand are introduced into the public realm.1

1 The detail in the terracotta relief of the Magistrates court and the windows of the curfew tower are valued in part because of their intricacy. This level of detail is rare in contemporary architecture generally and even more rare in Design and Build projects which many of the new developments are.

Bollards The Woodhouse Geo stainless steel bollard is currently being installed in several locations. It should be used throughout the High Street Network. A Convincing argument should be made to use bollards of a unique colour code. Bins It is likely that in the near future bins separating rubbish between glass paper and plastic will become standard. Underground recycling bins are being considered in Barking. Cycle stands ‘Sheffield’ type cycle stands in brushed or beadblasted stainless steel finish. Enclosures Brick walls and railings are traditional features of London’s streets and open spaces. Barking can afford to have the simplest of enclosures and guardrails. Traffic schemes in the main are generally designing out the need for guardrails and where they are necessary they should be a simple profile in RAL 9007. Along the river edge the railings should be as simple as possible so as not to compete with views of the water. The Environmental Agency must meet standrds for parapet defences. Existing examples of highly decorative artist maker commissions on the riverside should be viewed as one offs not precedent.

Seating

There is a commitment to the Town Centre being â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lively with cafĂŠ seatingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, but also a recognition of the need to provide seating for those disinclined or not rich enough to be consumers. At the same time there has been anxiety about the introduction of benches in case this encourages intimidating loitering. This contradiction has been expressed in the granite cuboids installed over the last 3 years. We do not believe that any more are necessary in the town centre. The greater activity and number of CCTV cameras in Barking means that there is greater informal and formal surveillance in the public realm. For this reason barking has a Barking Bench which can adapt to multiple situations according to the particularities of a site.

page 18

Design Guidelines

The Barking bench is traditional in its referencesbut endlessly flexible. It is based on proprietry product by a German manafacturer-this can be specified as a standard single unit or customised to different situations. It is (as all timber products must be) FSC certified timber. Generaly benches should all be the same colour using RAL 7035. Starting with a standard propriety bench the Barking Bench can be modified to suit different situations

Signage and Wayﬁnding

Signage and Wayﬁnding should be used strategically to reinforce the underlying priciples of the masterplanning currently being introduced into Barking. Signage generally should be the minimum necessary- it smacks of desperation to oversign.

Street Signs All names plates should be similar to existing names plates (see picture) and preferably wall mounted. Contemporary street signage can have very crude letter spacing, a typographer is being commissioned to create a template. Their positioning should be consistant preferably at 3m height to maximise visibility. Trafﬁc Signs Trafﬁc signs are often intrusive and should be reduced to the maximum number and the minimum size necessary to meet highways regulations. This should be agreed through a focused discussion with highways everytime any new

page 22

Design Guidelines

alignment is introduced. At the same time any signs that are rendered redundant should be removed. The number of poles can be reduced by combining signals, signs, lighting and or CCTV. Signs such as waiting/loading restrictions can be fixed to adjacent walls or bollards. Poles should be coloured to match other steet furniture (RAL 9007) including sign backs and traffic lights. Directional signage Now that the overall footprint has been established for the town centre primary signage including maps can be positioned. Secondary signage to reinforce routes and reassure the unconfident visitor that they are on the right track can back this up. As with the lighting strategy it is desirable for signage to be incorporated onto walls wherever possible. There are strong precedents for this

Temporary signage – The Green Grid as a means of way ﬁnding through Barking Barking is investing in its open spaces. Barking Park has received £7.5million of lottery money, a bid is being put together for Valence Park and it is probable that Abbey Green will be the subject of an ambitious design �� competition. The new Town Square arboretum will be complete by 2010. Current master�� plans are designed �� around making ways down to the waters edge. Signage to these green spaces can be combined with tree planting see illustration.

� ��

Advertising Advertising signs can have a considerable impact on an area’s visual appearance. Guidelines should be drawn up regulating both design and location of advertising signs. Hoardings should be limited to 50% signage as part of planning. Consideration should be given to the position of If at anytime a scheme is introduced for the sponsoring by a local ﬁrm of an area of greenspace ensure that signage celebrating the fact does not dwarf the area being sponsored.

The Barking Code 2008

Lighting

The perception of good light levels is the means to give a sense of security in the public realm. This is not just about lux levels. A good overall ambient light level on routes can be supplemented by the enhancement and highlighting of architectural details and other features rather than the wholesale overlighting of the streetscape generally. Lighting levels must be no more than regulation and all lighting must be energy efďŹ cient. Consider dimming down at appropriate times in accordance with guidance from Crime Prevention ofďŹ cers.

Example of proposal for lighting by Clare Brew

page 24

Design Guidelines

Lighting can be separated into Street lighting Wall mounted is preferable and should be incorporated where ever practical to avoid clutter (see image to the right). This has been successfully integrated in the design for the new town square and the proposed LIFT (primary health) building. It must be designed in from the outset (pre planning stage is preferable) and must be positioned carefully. Details should be submitted indicating the control location and specification. In an areas of a different scale or special treatment alternatives may be used such as wall mounted floods. Highlighting of important and historical buildings The emphasis of the Barking Code generally is to combine rules with their occasional exceptions; lighting of historical and important buildings and landmarks is a case in point. Just as the lighting artist Clare Brew has lit the town hall Magistrates Court and Curfew Tower other buildings might be deemed suitable for highlighting-for example the overhang of the soffit of Barking station or the fragments of the abbey. Fittings Aluminium and stainless steel are high quality materials which should be left unpainted for both aesthetic and maintenace reasons. Where this is not possible light fittings are to be painted ot powdercoated in RAL 9007. Fittings should be simple and unfussy and designed as part of the street furniture. Exceptions should only be made in spaces of particular significance, an example being the Tom Dixon designed fittings specified by muf for the Barking Town Square. Light levels Public lighting throughout Barking will progressively be upgraded to white light with a minimum CRI index of 65 (for example the Philips Cosmo lamp). Colour temperature within the High Street Network should be

Trees and soft landscaping

The green spaces are one ne part of the East London Green Grid, a network of linked areas of open spaces and parks. The Green Grid is a green infrastructure alongside public transport, utilities and other built infrastructure.

Within the Green grid the route between Barking station and the River Roding and east between the station and Barking Park is considered to be of strategic importance. There are a number of opportunities to introduce sustainable areas of planting along this route as it crosses the High Street network. In addition there are opportunities to move away the culture of ‘bare minimum’ necessary due to maintenance budgets of many open spaces in Barking and instead through careful specifying and imaginative new management strategies, ﬁnd ways of introducing green refuges throughout Barking as a counterpoint to dramatic changes in Barking’s built fabric. This will have multiple beneﬁts including the role that vegetation and trees have for adapting the city to climate change and the opportunity for play . In terms of biodiversity it is important that opportunities are taken to facilitate rainwater collection to allow birds to feed from and bathe. Xeriscaping, or low water planting can greatly reduce water demand. Sustainable drainage systems can be positioned alongside planting to reduce water demand.

Abbey Green Abbey Green has been the subject of a study authored by Groundwork and is likely to be the subject of a design competition. It has been agreed that East West routes between the Town centre and the riverside are essential. it has also been stated that it would be desirable to introduce a new route from the Gasgoigne estate to the south directly into Abbey Green. It is important that these new routes become more than the link between a to b and enhance the amenity value of the Green.

Clumps of trees within the high street network. New trees should be introduced to consolidate existing trees both solitary or small groups. These new trees do not have to be the same species as the existing. Alongside this introduction of new trees and new species should be the replacement of the ground treatment and associated street furniture . Location for new clump planting in association with existing trees include : a. alongside the site of the existing bandstand on the elt route. b. alongside the new lift building, in this case there are no existing trees although trees stood on the site at this point before construction c. Within the new market square a clump of trees can form an organising element for the stalls

Quaker Burial Ground This historic open space is currently under-used and bleak although still signiďŹ cant historically. Lower maintenance schemes that embrace principoles of biodervisty and add interest in the selection of ďŹ&#x201A;owering plants are relevant here as tey are in other small scale green spaces. Left over areas of green There are small areas of land which are unlikely to be developed in the foreseeable future. One example of this is the area of land either side of the Northern Relief Road. It has been suggested that this could be planted as an area of decorative woodland an area of biodiversity that would not be easily or frequently accessed. As development continues there is the potential for the temporary planting of sites in advance of construction especially within larger areas of social housing where the development of one block can give a sense of blight to those areas awaiting development. Examples of temporary planting with a large impact are meadow planting or a corn ďŹ eld. Anxieties around management are lessened due to the temporary nature of these interventions. Generally it should be remembered that shared s occupation as a means of enlivening and protecting open spaces

Play

The success of the town centre is dependent on making a public realm for all. Children learn through play and by including space for play both as formal designated areas but also by accomodating safe playable landscapes in the streetscape young children and their carers will be encouraged to use open spaces and not rely on the car or remain within the conﬁnes of home and so contribute to the success of the town centre. The Mayor of London’s ofﬁce is currently preparing supplementary planning guidance on play, as one of the Mayors’ 100 Public Spaces there is an expectation that the Town square can be seen as an exemplary example of making a ‘playable’ landscape.

All London Boroughs are currently preparing their play strategies amongst other priorities all play strategies must: – Promote greater social inclusion; – Ensure that play spaces enhance the quality of the local environment for children and young people; – Improve the public realm as a child-friendly environment; Each borough can decide what (if any) play spaces the developers of housing should include in their plans. This applies to any housing developments, including publicly funded Housing Associations. 2 the supplementary planning guidance to the London Plan, Providing or Children and Young People’s Play and Recreation is currently at draft stage 3 ibid., B7 Design Principles

page 31

The Barking Code for the Public Realm 2008-2012

For there to be successful streets for children there have to be linked routes that favour the pedestrian this is true for much of the town centre but this is something which must be considered within the design of residential developments Playable landscapes Places that are attractive for children should give them an opportunity to shape or create something according to their own ideas. This presupposes that play equipment is not fixed for specific purposes, but that it is possible and necessary for children to alter something themselves. Some developers might be wary about the idea of incorporated into a development : this is something to be embraced rather than feared. Unlike many conventional playgrounds playable landscapes can dramatically enhance developments because their use is not fixed nor appears exclusively for a single group. The arboretum is an example of a playable landscape which is not perceived of as a playground but where there inc are elements which are open to appropriation for imaginative play. Examples include an informal stage, an undulating ground plane and scaled down street furniture. 1 Include play as an essential dimension for public space. Be ambitious in preparation of your play strategy and present it at the earliest planning stage. Support flexible and overlapping uses between different user groups (for example school daytime, community use evenings). Challange assumptions as to what is low maintaenance. attractive to the wider community.

Art

Art in the urban realm is a source of pleasurable but unpredictable encounters for the risk averse. The role of the artist is as both a critical and creative catalyst within the process of urban design and as the producer of places within the urban realm. The value of arts in the public realm is therefore both in the creative process and the product: what the artist does, what the artist makes and the ensuing debate that stimulates. Barking has Barking has championed public art from the early A13 scheme to numerous commissions from the permanent to performance.

page 33

The Barking Code for the Public Realm 2008-2012

Within the terms of the code the deﬁnition of “public art” is predominantly but not exclusively the visual arts. However the code seeks to avoid prescribing the form that “public art” might take and each individual brief should commission a practitioner appropriate to the situation. The strategic commissioning of art in the public realm can: – Forge a strong identity that will differentiate. – Frame and celebrate valued qualities of the existing environment to engage and inspire diverse audiences. – Positively contribute to the process of regeneration. – Stimulate involvement and support participation in discussions concerning the existing and proposed developments. All commissions should meet the ambitions of the Local Cultural strategy for access and inclusion for all to creative and cultural activity and therefore take into account that audiences for art in this area will be diverse. Each commission should therefore identify an audience and ensure their engagement. Genuine creative activity that results in good art is contingent on genuine speculative research where the outcome may not be known at the outset, therefore the code cannot prescribe desired outcomes for art in terms of either form or content, however the code can usefully outline the requisites necessary for the commissioning and delivery of quality art in the public realm.

page 34

Design Guidelines

These are concerned with – A clear curatorial policy to establish aims and ambitions, – The necessity for that ambition to be shared across all members of the design and development team and for the process to enable effective brief development through research – For artist engagement through to implementation, design-build doesn’t do it in the arts. Role of the artist on the Design Team The inclusion of artists on the design team of the urban realm can have a twofold outcome. First to contribute to the overall conceptual process of brief and design development. Secondly the artist or product designer can bring to the design of specific elements of the utilitarian fabric of the urban realm an alternative rarefied resolution. Art: Guidelines for a Model of Excellence – Ensure briefs for the inclusion of public art are transparent and reflect the client’s ambition yet are sufficiently open to allow genuine speculative creative enquiry. – Include the client in all stages of the process. – Research all limits as possibilities. – Commission in a way appropriate to each project. – Encourage and support genuine speculative research by the artist. – Accept speculation involves risk. – Enable brief development by the artist; value the artist’s time. – Accept the outcome of an artist’s commission cannot be known from the outset. – Ensure the artist is not commissioned to ameliorate fundamental design errors. – Ensure the artist is not commissioned as a stand in

Making Temporary “public realm” “the first shock of a great earthquake had rent the whole neighbourhood to its centre... Houses were knocked down; streets broken through and stopped; deep pits and trenches dug in the ground; enormous heaps of earth and clay thrown up; buildings that were undermined and shaking, propped by great beams of wood. In short the yet unfinished and unopened Railroad was in progress; Dombey and Son Dickens 1834 Scenes in Barking and Dagenham today resound with such moments of wholesale upheaval and change that Dickens described with the arrival of the railways. However we are today not just assailed by the cranes, demolitions, blocked up passages and rights of way, but also with the import of the glaring super-graphics of development hoardings that borrow heavily on generic images of bland lifestyle goals. These shy from reflecting the complex and diverse aspirations of London and its world savvy citizens. The hoarding could instead give developers a real opportunity to engage with present and future contexts with temporary enhancements of the existing and snapshots of the possible.

The Barking Code for the Public Realm 2008-2012

Barking and Dagenham is changing rapidly with development activity growing in a seemingly exponential fashion. It is important that this period of change should not adversely effect the experience of living in and growing up in Barking. An example of this is the development of the Gasgoinge-temporary play settings could be developed and inform the final schemes. The hoarding you can sit on, play within find out about activities and showcase events. It is not only construction sites and their perimeters which can have a negative impact on an area. Sites that form part of master-plans or areas of the city that have been identified as possible contenders as development sites and opportunities are effectively blighted for the period of any deliberations. Although there is an understandable resistance to investment with a limited shelf life, temporary improvements can be approached in a way that limits ‘wastage’ and can be seen as an opportunity to test options and in fact limit risk by trying out possible scenarios of use or design treatment. The corn field or the temporary allotmernts created by The Shoreditch Trust with the consultants ‘what if”..

Design Guidelines

Event Infrastructure-Activating the “Public Realm”

It is desirable that public space should be designed with occupation in mind. This important fact can be advanced by thinking about it as a ﬁrst principle, for example, an active public group of ﬂoors or designing facades so that the interior activities can spill into the street. But it is also about detail, for example, installing “in ground units” to support temporary events without the need for generators.
