An Essay In Brick By Ryan Cooksey

The Brief This portfolio is required to respond to and challenge the functional brief set out in ARC6011 (Book 1) and resolved in (Book 2). By continuing with the 100 trades studio approach set out to test this proposals and generating a suitable schedule of accommodation. It has been encouraged to utilise the themes and approaches from the initial Design Exploration module to inform a resolved spatial planning, conceptual and contextual response for the building. Interior layouts need to be detailed indicating likely furniture arrangements and demonstrate the material treatments of surfaces. This portfolio demonstrates a creative and plausible technical intent to help bring the project to a convincing level of resolution. This portfolio demonstrates the technical intent that enhances this design resolution. By clearly communicating the choices that have been made relating to structure, materials and environmental strategy in support of the design across all three scales explored in the module.

Design Resolution, Technical Intent Ryan John Cooksey S17123027 BA(Hons) Birmingham City University DATE: 21st May 2020

1000 Trades Studio Brief Birmingham: City of 1000 Trades, Workshop of the World. A young city built on small scale industry and production, a workshop of highly skilled craftspeople producing a huge range of products. Making, production and industry are an intrinsic part of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage. However, during the latter part of the 20th century, technological innovation, improved transport links and increasing automation shifted production to areas where production costs were lower and access to transport connections easier. Small-scale industry within the city was replaced by large scale manufacturing in peripheral locations or ultimately overseas. Today we operate in a linear economy where flows of products and goods are global rather than local. Throughout my exploration I explored how we can challenge business-as-usual construction through the lens of sustainable production. 1.3 Billion tonnes of solid waste are produced worldwide each year (Circular Construction Challenge, 2018). I Discovered that there are many examples of reducing, reusing and recycling, from zero waste restaurants to tiles made from building waste. But how can these experiments be scaled up to the scale of the building or the city? By supporting existing businesses and creating new opportunities for (re)making, sharing and exchange, I began to develop strategies that sustain and enable production- bringing people, technology and ideas together in a cooperative, productive and sustainable approach to making (and remaking) the city. The next steps are to use this exploration an individual brief to propose a community hub that expresses my initial research. With this Book explaining my technical intent.

The inspiration To express it to drive. And when you want to give something presence you have to consult nature. And there is where design comes in. and if you think of brick,for instance,and you say to brick, “what do you want to be brick”? and brick says to you “I like an arch”. And you say to brick “look, arches are expensive, and I can use a concrete lintel over you. What do you think of that? “brick”? brick says “…I like an arch”. Louis kahn

The building that is currently on site is to be demolished. It is a unused warehouse that was part of the building that was on the site previously, demolished in 2014. The rubble from this will be left on site as the aggregate will be recycled within the construction process and then used within the workshop. To the left is a image showing the current site and the removal of the workshop.

As the development work in Book 2 explains, it was a decision to keep the private and public access spaces separate. Tipping zone (3) has been designed to the correct dimensions to allow a 16tonne tipper to turn within the courtyard with ease, again explained in the development work. This entrance also serves accessible parking bays/bike racks (2). Positioned at the rear of the building as It is assumed that those who need this would research or called the community hub in advance for directions. By keeping and vehicle traffic to the south of the site, the north is safe for pedestrians to roam freely (1). A roller shutter door has been incorporated to allow serving the biomass boilers easier again; this is towards the south of the site (4).

The bases of the arched are always parallel to another base of an arch on the opposite side of the site; these lines will later begin to form the landscape plan.

Serving Areas (corridors / Lobbies )

The main entrance to the community hub building is positioned directly in front of the access to the site. Walking into this space, you are directly met with the reception desk as well as seating placed to funnel visitors through.

The main hall is accessed by a large open arch mirroring the other arches that are on-site—taking advantage of the lecture theatre that is above the room boasts north daylighting lighting from windows 2 storeys high. As well as North and East lighting, the south of the room is lit with a light shaft; this stretches the width of the room. At the base, arches are cut into the wall to release the light. This light that enters the space could provide lighting that is used as a staged area within this hall.

Each building shares a common theme, The idea of the larger blocks of the workshop, collaborative space etc. Linked by narrower service areas creating a Louis Kahn effect of- servant and serves space. These corridors and lobbies that serve the rooms exceed the requirements states in the Approved Document M, Diagram 10.

Main Hall

Independent workspaces: The independent workspace is an area that is concealed at the north of the building, fantastic for natural lighting this area will be used by the public for separate work/ a social area. Desks have been designed into the deep revels, to reduce the number of space desks take. The central part of the room will host seating at irregular patterns in order to encourage circular conversation within the space. The internal walls have also been adapted so that the reveals are occupied with either storage space or seating.

Services are positioned in the same place on both the ground and first-floor, allowing ease when fitting services to them. Central within the building, the walls become load-bearing, allowing open spaces outside.

Lift: The lift is positioned with the other services in the centre of the ground floor, to avoid confusion the lift is opposite the staircase. In order to meet the needs of those who need it, the lift is to the standards required in the approved document M, Diagram 11, page 34, allowing passengers also to join.

Arches within the hall provide light to enter from the light shaft, providing a well lit stage to host events .

Across the site, every door has been designed to the standards set in the Approved Document M, Diagram 9. This is because it is expected that anyone should have access to each element of the proposal.

Classroom 1 The classrooms are situated in a separate building. This is so that these areas can be closed off at an evening when they are not needed; this reduced the running costs of the building. Classroom 1 has educated seating as well as an area at the west to allow for interactive activities.

Also, this building will be where the services linking the solar panels on the taller roofs of the community hub will lead. also in this room, the mechanical extraction units will be positioned. (more detail on the environmental sections). This room has direct access to Oxford Street for maintenance and delivery purposes. This shutter door has been positioned at the rear of the site, so it doesn't affect the aesthetics as it doesn't appear to be part of the scheme.

Here are some accessible car parking spaces meeting requirements the Approved Document part M, Diagram 2. It is essential to ensure that accessible parking is present to avoid discrimination and poor experiences with the proposal. It was decided that there is enough parking availability elsewhere within proximity, so general parking is not present on-site, however, bike racks are positioned by the accessible parking. The parking is at the rear of the proposal, 1. To save space, it would be assumed that most people would either be aware of or research the accessibility of the building before visiting 2. It shares the same opening as deliveries; this reduced the number of openings within the perimeter wall.

. Loading Bay The loading bay is capable of allowing vehicles up to 16 Tonne to be able to turn around with ease in this area (see design book for this research). This large circulation area was necessary as the vehicles used to deliver/collect materials and products from the site would require such size. This bay shares the opening with accessible parking for the same reasons as described in the Accessible parking notes. It would be assumed that deliveries would be on days where the building is at a low user rate otherwise as this area has a wall perimeter, it can quickly be cornered off during loading/unloading.

Turning circle. Here there is enough room for a forklift to rotate fully; this information can be found in the Design resolution book.

Material drop off zone.

Due to the nature of this proposal, there must be an on-site site manager. This is to overlook the maintenance requirements. Tucked away in the servent areas of the scheme, it is out of sight to most public spaces, while being in direct contact with the workshops and boiler room, and refuse areas.

The material drops off zone takes advantage of the arches within the viaduct using that floor area as a tipping bay for raw materials. Here it is expected raw materials will be dropped loosely in a visible pile. This relates to book 1 (design Exploration) as the building wants to express the value and possibilities of recycled aggregate. This zone will be private. However, visitors using the workshops will have access. The position of these piles of total will be visible by pedestrians on Trent Street; this should provide interaction between the site and the pedestrians

Due to the nature of the workshops, it is expected that there will be people who would like to change into more suitable clothing. Also, this space offers a shower facility if required. Again all areas are to the standard of the Approved document M, Diagram 22.

Tall Ceilings allow daylight to reach the deepest regions of the workshop; this is essential for many reasons (see the environmental strategy for more information). Arched windows will enable the public to interact with the workshop while mirroring the arches of the viaduct that is situated behind.

Serving Areas (corridors / Lobbies )

Why are the staff and facility rooms on the first floor? The First floor only serves private offices and the lecture theatre. The thought process behind the offices bing on this floor was to maximize the ground floor area for public use. Also, to create as many opportunities as possible to have opened to allows pedestrians to look into the building. The offices on the first floor will not have as much noise of circulation traffic.

Viewing point:

Staffroom

on the landing of the staircase, a viewing point has been designed, looking into the light shaft that illuminated the back of the ground floor hall, this space has a bench incorporated within. The light shaft will be a focal point expressing detail of the building, ‘its brickness’.

The staffroom has its own accessible toilet as well as seating and eating areas.

Lift:

Gallery space,

Within this space, there is also a managers office, lit with daylight from the north.

Here the double-height ceilings allow for a spacious gallery space; this allows light to penetrate the deeper parts of the building as well as aid ventilation.

Staff meeting room

The lift is positioned with the other services in the centre of the ground floor, to avoid confusion the lift is opposite the staircase. In order to meet the needs of those who need it, the lift is to the standards required in the approved document M, Diagram 11, page 34, allowing passengers also to join.

Accessible toilets Accessible toilets have been provide in all floors of each building meeting the standards required in the approved document M, Diagram 18, page 50,

Lecture Theatre. The stepped lecture theatre is only lit buy north lighting; this has been purposely done to reduce the shadows that are cast as well as direct light that is in the eyes of the presenter and audience. Accessible seating has been located at the front of the room.

Managers office

The staff meeting rooms have enough space for the advised number of staff that will be present. This space is lit with North and North West daylight. Notice it is also positioned in the furthest corner of the building from the halls; this is an attempt to remove the noise pollution that may occur.

Staff office The staff office provides workspaces that are integrated into the walls to reduce the floor area needed for desks; again, storage and seating is also integrated into the load-bearing walls.

Notes:

The roof plan indicated solar panels positioned south-facing on the tallest proposed building. They have been placed on this building as due to its height, it will have direct sunlight each day with no shadows. Also, they will be out of sight from all angles of the ground. Extraction fans and equipment will be positioned on the flat roof of the workshop areas as part of the ventilation strategy. These are also above the Bio-mass boiler and services room for extraction of fumes produced.

Here is the mezzanine level where visitors would stand to gaze in to the ‘hall of bricks’ (See design book).This is the opening that looks into the hall of bricks / light tunnel. Here the walls will be built using as many pannels of recovered bricks that are currently within the walls of buildings around Digbeth. As these buildings will be demolished this hall will celebrate bricks and mortar of the workshop of the world. The idea is this will be a changing piece of art as the day goes by as the environmental section suggests there will be shadows cast into this area via the glazed roof. It is expected that this will be a crucial space for those visiting the community hub as the demolition of Digbeth as history knows will soon be replaced with modern architecture as a result of HS2. Also, this links back to the exploitation stages, exploring brick bonds, the interest I had in that then began to form the resolution of this building.

Why a green roof? The thinking behind the green roof mainly is because of the lack of green, vegetation within Digbeth. A Study within the Exploration stage backs this statement. Although the building is ‘an essay in brick’, unless you are looking at a roof plan, the roof is not visible. The secondary reason for a green roof is attributed to collect dust. Especially with the building this is and the location within Digbeth a green roof would help respiratory issues within the close circulation. 44

The 45 degree roof will provide a pitch high enough to only allow 10 % of the floor area to have direct sunlight on 21st July, this is good as in an environment such as a workshop it is idea to have a constant light source (Daylight is preferable). not only does the pitched roof allow more space internally but it is more obvious from an external point of view the difference between the workshop areas and private areas of the site. The pitched roof also benefits from an environmental strategy point of view. Stale air is allowed to sit in the inhabitable roof space. Also a mechanical window system will provide stack ventilation

The 22.5 Degree roof doesn’t seem to have the same effect as the 45 degree. It is important for this workshop space to have its own identity. Moving on to the detail of the roof, externally the roof could either be a cladding system, that will provide a smooth roof effect, however as I feel that it is important to let a brick be what a brick wants to be..... i fee that stepped bricks is the better option. For this to be

successful there will have to be a primary roof system, Concrete would be the preferred option. Then bricks will be stacked and secured using steel angles. Internally there is an option to either plasterboard the vaulted ceiling. However, due to the nature of the project especially as it is a workshop where bricks are the key material, it is only right to repeat the external finish internally.

PROD

Integrated seating

External garden / exhibition zone Integrated seating

After acknowledging the Per Kirby and the Louis Khan precedents, I have begun to investigate the opportunities that a thicker wall has to offer. The research up until now is suggesting that the thicker walls are providing more permanence and weight to the building. I now want to make these walls useable. The idea is that the inner wall and the insulation is consistent throughout. However, the external facade can reduce and increase in thickness as it is not load-bearing and also because of the large air gap between the insulation and the external facade allows this to happen.

This could then act as some history to the site as well as some unknowing education to those that pass by. Each frame would be different and be labelled above with a plaque perhaps that gives some information about it. These frames are an opportunity to break up the wall and allow expansion joints to be discreet.

The internal workshops could have workspaces that are integrated into the walls. This then allows maximum lighting for those working and also provided the opportunity for pedestrians to be extremely close to work that is being produced. This may pull pedestrians into the building to have a closer look and be part of the workshop experience. Externally there will then be an interaction between the person inside the workshop and those that are pedestrians. Used elsewhere on the site these can be desks for the interdependent study area.

Incorporating the idea in to my concept.

After deciding that the building should be true to itself and puss that all materials are brick, it would be a shame to see window and door frames. With the initial ides to remove these from sight, I came across a precedent called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stamp Windowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Their design won awards in window innovation 2010. after studying their design, it is clear that they allow the glass to fill the opening without framing insight. This relationship between brick and glass is very aesthetical, and this is something that would suit my design process. Below are photographs of the detail in place.

Here is an example either side of the same opening where the detail is different due to the stepping back of bricks. Ensuring that there is a thermal consideration is key to this design, as well as detailing in a way that the frame cannot be seen on either side of the opening.

This is an example of the detail when the wall is flush internally and externally. Internally the framework of the window is not visible. This is because it has been positioned into a channel within the opening. The insulation can be seen to meet with the window frame preventing thermal bridging. Externally to pose the illusion that a frame is not present another panel of glass that has no part of the window is positioned using an L Framework held in place with window Sealent.
