BEACON HALL

The aim of this design is to add a new spatial and acoustic experience to the site. The central atrium creates a connection to both sides of the site creating a public walkway that draws people into the people, increasing building use ad traffic. The atrium is covered by a undulating roof that curves and flows, responding to the sounds of the performances occurring in the hall.

The scheme is split into two separate buildings, one based on performance the other on learning and administration performance building is partially wrapped in a transparent skin that makes the buildings interior atmosphere perceptible from the outside. Conversely, views from the buildings interior outwards into the landscape situate the building within its specific context. On the upper floors, the translucent facade creates a unique lighting atmosphere. During the day the surrounding environment is reflected in buildings facade while at night, the activity, light and volume of the hall glows in the dark.

The use of stone, metal wood and glass works well as it doesn’t project the building as a brash over powering structure

SITE SECTION

10

11

The area of land forms the peninsula defined by the floating harbour and occupies a prominent location on the bend on the confluence of the original courses of the river Avon and Frome.

There are a few significant buildings that can be considered landmarks around the site. Mainly the Lloyds bank, Arnolfini and M-Shed.

The proposed building needs to stand alone from the building in the site, whilst also complimenting its context.

‘there is a lack of high-quality redevelopment in Bristol. there are no ‘iconic’ new buildings that people wil travel to see.... which are destination to themselevs’ Punter. J.(2010) Urban Design and the British Urban Renaissance. London.

Routledge. p. 128 Comparing Bristol with other high-profile cities such as London, it becomes obvious that it lacks iconic buildings that can take on the status of the city and help Bristol become a more desirable destination. The proposed prpject will try tackle the related issue by creating an iconic building that will be distinctive within its conetxt and be considered a landmark and icon for the city

FORM DEVELOPMENT

Site

Extrusion - Building Volume

Passage though the building - Atrium

Taking a step back

Deformation towards movement

The site is the centre piece of the millennium square and landing.

It is directly connected to both the square, landing and the Lloyd’s amphitheatre. Therefore it will be closely associated with urban life in that area of the Centre

Based on the site limitations given, its volume adds to approx 46,200m3. The suggested volume will consist of three/four floors.

Which in terms of height sits comfortably on the site

On the site pedestrian are able to walk across the site. Keeping this pedestrian flow is important in keeping all sides of the site and externals space connected

By pushing the building back it creates public areas. Also avoids blocking views from the restaurant fronts on Bordeaux Quay.

The building envelop is pushed and contoured based on the way the public move around the site. Thus creating at points a sense of arrival

Views

Canopy

Sound waves influence

Views from the building out to surrounding area are important.

Unobstructed view will achieved through the use of large glazed suspended curtain wall

The grand atrium roof will need to a sculptures piece that relates to the use of the building

By looking at sound waves, the canopy is moulded to become the final piece of the envelop as well as the sculptural attraction and meeting point of the building

20

Sculpture By poetically turning the undulating roof into a waffle structure it allows for more light into the atrium. Bathing the space below as well as other parts of the building in natural light. It also gives the impression that it floats like a cloud above the building

MATERIAL STRATEGY

There are two main types of materials used in the building concrete and timber. They are used to give the building a sense of weightlessness through light and texture.

White concrete makes the space seem brighter and bigger whist the timber gives depth and natural feel

ENVIRONMENTAL

STRATEGY PASSIVE STRATEGY The atrium/foyer will be passively ventilated taking advantage of the triple heightened ceiling, drawing cold air through the atrium as hot air is exhausted at high level. the tack effect will be used in the atrium, drawing cool air though the building

HEATING

Thermal insulated ducts The ventilation ducts have to be insulated in order to restrict and control heat loss. This helps the HVAC systems work effectively

Underfloor heating to underside of access flooring system, provides central heating to the entire building, removing any visible sources. Thermal mass will be stored through the buildings exposed concrete. The thermal energy will be stored during the day and released towards the evening when temperatures drop

MECHANICAL VENTILATION The symphony hall will be reliant on an air handling unit (HVAC) installed on the roof. This is needed because of the halls large area which means cross ventilation will not be achieved

52

Translucent laminated glass panels The use of laminated glass will aid in the reduction of excess noise levels entering the building from the activity around the site

53

ROOF STRATEGY AND STRUCTURE

Double glazed unit. Toughened glass, cavity and laminated safety glass Silicon joint Subframe Aluminium frame glass element.

Acting as a Support bracket to support channel

Structurally, the roof is composed of two interconnected vaults that flow into one another through a softly curved valley. The double-glazed panels are set within a diagrid of fins, clad in acoustic material, which together form a rigid shell that needs to be supported by the structural frame columns of the building and by the four pillars that drop from the end of the canopy structure.

Visually, the roof is raised above the walls of the building, clearly articulating the idea of a it floating.

ACOUSTIC

STRUCTURAL STRATEGY

As a result of the use of hard materials such as concrete and timber, little sound is absorbed. Which results in uncontrolled sound being reflected around the hall. The use of acoustic panels and Helmholtz resonators would dissipate sound waves, reducing reverberation.

The acoustic panels will aide in the diffusion off sound across the hall. The laminated glass will also help prevent sound from both travelling

Beacon hall will be constructed through a hybrid of a steel frame, structure, pre cast concrete and in-situ. The scheme will utilize the concrete cores to aid the steel columns meaning that less columns will be used, decreasing the appearance of columns in unnecessary places. The hall acting in a structural capacity, removes the use of visible columns around the performance space.

FIRST PROJECT - YEAR 3

PRIMER - PRODUCTIVE CITY I NSTI NXT STU DIOS FASHION/CLOTHING MAKING For this task we were asked to explore the potential links between architecture and the city. To immerse ourselves in the relationship the site, city and region have between each other.

In the mid 20th century many products were made locally and regionally produces using crafts skills in a small scale manufacturing process. As technology advanced the art of small scale craftsmanship was replaced by large scale mass produced manufacturing.

However times are changing, there has been a renewed interest in local manufacturing and production. Spaces are needed for new businesses and enterprises to continue to grow, this is an opportunity for jobs to be created in the local community.

Using myself as the client, I aimed to design something that I would personally want to work and spend time in. Mainly because fashion and cloth making is something i have been doing and have interest in for years.

YEAR 2 PROJECT

GAIA’S GARDEN BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED LUXURY APARTMENTS WITH AN UNPARALLELED CONNECTION TO NATURE my design for this housing project sits in an area that has a direct link to main road and is surrounded by large green areas, nature in general. the design takes on the idea of keeping the occupants of the homes connected to nature. it was focussed on retirees who still want to be active and want to live in a place that will provide them all they need as both physically and mentally. it aims to provide a community where residents do not feel constrained to the normal idea of what the older generation are supposed to do. the design creates an interesting and appealing architecture that at first seems complicated but as the building is approached and used the structure and method of design is simplified to create a transparent architecture.

There are a few things that will be implicated in the design of this project in order to achieve the notion of improving the opportunities for the older generation. The first thing will be a water way/stream that will number one provide a great aesthetic for the site as well as provide a natural sound and organic sound barrier form the noise pollution coming from the A road. It will also act as a place where the residents as well as the public can come, relax as well as potentially encountering natural wildlife. The site will feature: one and two-bedroom apartments, wheelchair accessible throughout, lifts to all floors as well as guest suites, private outdoor spaces and landscaped gardens. The layout of the development will be set in order to maximise the natural environment around the site.
