Address:15 To 25, Osborn Street, E1 Though situated in the conservation area of Brick Lane, The Osborn street site has become an undesirable run down forgotten space in recent years. The abandoned derelict warehouses owned by the ‘Old Truman Brewery’ now collects rust, graffiti and scrap objects from passers by. overtime the dismal conditions of the site has attracted an increasing number of squaters whom dwell in what remains of the Warehouses.

THE OSBORN STREET WAREHOUSES Address:15 To 25, Osborn Street, E1 The derelict Site lies between an old EDF Energy Substation on its North side, and the recently extended Whitechapel Art Gallery on its South side. The old Energy Station is currently undergoing redevelopment works which will its owner (EDF) to fit in contemporary new machinery within it. The abandoned Site has been identified and selected by the Spatial Strategy Framework as a primary primary redevelopment space.

B
Though not within the site boundary the adjacent building to it is an unused and abandoned funeral store awaiting re-use.
C
‘Warehouse 1’ is the second largest and most derelict of the Warehouse and Garage spaces on site.It is the building in which most of the squaters dwell.
D E F G
‘Warehouse 2’ is the smallest of the Warehouse and Garage spaces on site. It like Warehouse 1 can be entered from space ‘A’ just off Osborn street. This building is also not within the site boundary but is believed to be owned by the same individuals/Organisation as ‘Block B’. These spaces are the garage and service spaces that facilitate the three main Warehouses 1(Block C),2(Block D) & 3(Block G) ‘Warehouse 3’ is the largest of the Warehouse and Garage spaces on site.

HAZARDOUS ASBESTOS ROOFING According to the Land Registryan, 55% of all industrial type properties in the UK have an asbestos cement roof. With age comes deterioration and the panels can become porous and be prone to leaks, creating additional problems because they become weakened considerably, yet show little sign of this from the outside. When broken, an asbestos cement panel can release fibres and therefore, if working on a panel, it is strongly advised that breathing masks be worn to protect the lungs from asbestos fibres. One of the biggest dangers comes with fire, because although they don’t burn, the panels can explode in extreme heat and shower the surrounding area with invisible asbestos fibres. IT IS ADVISABLE TO REPLACE IT WITH AN ALTERNATIVE MATERIAL, RATHER THAN TRYING TO PATCH IT WITH OTHER PRODUCTS THAT DON’T QUITE MATCH THE OUTLINE OF THE ORIGINAL. [01]

There are several walls within the existing site that suffer from cracking and bowing. Down below are listed the potential causes of this:[01] • Age / settling, shifting, expansive soils, and outside pressures, can cut the lifespan of the buiding down considerably.

Rear View of Site (West Facing)
Settling / Loose backfill that has been placed around the site can exert extra pressure on the walls, creating cracks, especially if that backfill is comprised of lots of dense clay materials. [02]

LE 2-22,MONTREAL (CANADA)
Le 2-22, designed by Aedificia, a team of architects, designers, engineers and communication specialists, has become the gateway to Montreal’s arts and entertainment district. Its eye-catching façade - an innovative twin walled skin the outer glass layer of which is designed to fully retract in the summer revealing a wooden envelope beneath with punched openings that reads like an abstract tapestry - to its large-scaled recessed angular entrance that frees up the sidewalk for dense pedestrian traffic, which the area experiences during festivals. The space created by superimposing the two materials is used for multimedia installations. [03] The 2-22 is a green building aiming for LEED certification has been achieved at a cost of $ 20 million. The 2-22 has received a grant of $ 5 million under the program “Imagining-Building Montreal 2025” and the transfer of land from the City of Montreal. [04]

EARTH CENTER SOLAR CANOPY The Solar Canopy is located in the Doncaster Earth Centre, a large-scale visitor attraction on a 300-acre site in one of the most environmentally devastated areas in the country. Feilden Clegg Bradley Architects master planned the scheme and designed the entrance building, the Planet Earth Gallery and the Solar Canopy. The Solar Canopy is a 925sqm photovoltaic solar collector, currently the largest solar collector in the UK. The structure is a geometrically complex space frame constructed of larch poles joined by steel nodes, of which no two nodes are identical. [05]

FIXINGS
A
The arts pavilion will be constructed using the method and technique of the classic space frame design, invented by Dr. Mengeringhausen consisting of spherical nodes and circular hollow sections. Specifically the pavilion will be assembled using the Kugel Knoten (KK) system, typically used in double layer applications. The KK-System provides great strength-to-weight performance with excelent spanning capabilities.

[Fig06]
Cleaned Air enters the Building Using an environmentally safe method, KNOxOUT gets rid of harmful NOx emissions. Titanium dioxide, which is a common ingredient in paint, can be specially modified to attack NOx. KNOxOUTs CrystalActiv technology features modified titanium dioxide that uses light energy to convert NOx into breathable air. When light is shined on KNOxOUT, it converts ordinary water vapor into a NOx killer that breaks NOx down into harmless quantities of nitrates, carbon dioxide, and water. In rendering NOx harmless, KNOxOUT prevents the formation of smog. [06]
EPIFANIO DE LOS SANTOS AVENUE (EDSA) PHILIPPINES
is an urban renewal initiative to lessen air pollution on Epifanio de los Santos Avenue through large-scale artworks. BOYSEN, with the support of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), is implementing this project through commissioned curators and artists of note. project sites (highest pollution) Eight artworks—each 1,000 square meters— will be executed in sequence through 2011 to early 2012, with the paint KNOxOUT. This is the breakthrough BOYSEN product which purifies air in the vicinity of the surfaces painted with it, hence greening paint technology itself. CristalActiv elements in KNOxOUT transform toxic nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the atmosphere into harmless residue. The curators and artists are working collaboratively with the paint chemists, a large painting crew, a support contingent including traffic enforcers, in consultation with specialists in urban planning, environmentalism, health, and public art in the Philippines and abroad.

BUILDING PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
ARTS & CRAFTS WORKSHOP SOLAR PV GLAZING
The installation of the Solar PV Curtain Walling System will make it possible for the Arts and Crafts Workshop to create renewable electricity to meet its demands and that of the Center’s [Fig08]
Solar PV Glass design consists of Solar PV Cells that are built into transparent double and triple glazing units. Solar PV Glass can easily be integrated into roofs and building facade systems. It is generally available as a comprehensive package, complete with all the necessary electrical components and equipment. [Fig09]
VENTILATION The Buildings Double Skin Facade consists of an outer Solar PV Glazed curtain wall skin and a plywood cladded inner skin. The vents at the bottom and top of the facade system will regulate the building temperature by allowing cold air from outside to passively flow through , taking out hot air from within the building’s dance studio and workshop spaces
