INTRODUCTION The Star and Shadow Cinema has been functioning since the 1970s as an independent cinema. It is located in the soutern Ouseburn area as an independent community cinema, completely run by volunteers with all members having an input on how it works. The venue programmes films that are truly independent, along side this; the cinema provides a venue to host gigs, performances, live art and exhibitions. The Star and Shadow is a completely non-profit venue, the purpose is to provide a variety of films that would not be screened at any other cinema like locally produced and artist films. The Star and Shadow volunteers aim to create a community retreat with an ‘all welcome’ atmosphere. The idea is to create a community hub for socialising and discussion, a place to meet new people with the same passion for the arts. The project entails a relocation and redevelopment to a larger site within the Ouseburn area to cater for the same activities as the current venue. The project aims to provide better facilities for the range of activies the volunteers participate in. The new venue will have the same approach and host the same events at a larger scale, whilst expanding its current social group. The cinema will have a larger focus on film production providing the facilities for producing and screening short films made on site by passionate, amateur locals. Film viewing will be the main focus providing a variety of ways to view film.
CONCEPT The cinema nature of the design influenced the design intervention, mainly focusing on the idea of projection and the cone of light that is created when the dust interacts with the light beam, in a dark room during a screening. The cone form influenced the design throughout all interventions and installations within the existing building, and the structures of the way in which film is viewed.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFO 1 Due to the nature of the project, the cinema will need to consider the accoustics of the internal structure to ensure the sound does not travel to the surrounding dwellings in the area. In addition, the site is sat on a fairly busy road. The external sound will have to be considered to ensure the sound does not effect the quieter areas including the education workshop and the projection gallery. Environmental readings were taken prior to construction to consider materiality and structure within the proposed design. All temperature readings are in degrees celsius and accoustic readings are in decibels.

Conclusions from the information gathered has confirmed that towards the facade besides the window is an area with higher accoustic readings from the external sound of traffic etc. This issue will have to be resolved with change of glazing and sound insulations. In addition, the lux levels are extremely low towards the rear of the site and significantly higher towards the facade openings. This factor was considered during design regarding solar glare, shading, artificial lighting and placement of zones in the darker and lighter areas.

EXTERNAL CONDITIONS The external facade is severley weathered and worn due to the site being out of use for a period of time. All the openings are controlled by security roller shutters that are rusting, and the render is severeley damaged and cracking away along the facade.

A number of environmental issues have been considered regarding the current state of the existing structure. The facade is complete of a series of single glazed openings spanning from floor to ceiling (fig 0) currently covered with steel roller shutters. This results in a large amount of heat loss throughout the site especially towards the South elevation. In addition, the large amount of openings with single glazing will allow more noise from the traffic on the busy road to pass through into the building. The roof is severley thin and weak with no insulation which is another huge factor towards heat loss within the building. The facade is South facing meaning it will receive a lot of daylight through the openings, this factor has been considered regarding the positioning of the facailities for the new design. 13
INTERNAL CONDITIONS
There is a set of stud partition and plasterboard walls at the rear of the building housing W.Cs and offices. The plaster and paint within the partitions are cracking and discoloured with parts of the skirting boards removed in areas. The partition walls are lightweight and will be easy to remove to create an open space.
(a)Broken plaster masonry wall
(b)Crumbling plaster
(c)Exposed services due to fallen ceiling tiles a
The internal conditions are reflective of the external. The suspended ceiling tiles are falling out revealing all services and insulation within the service gap. Across all walls the plasterboard is cracking away and areas are damaged along the ground besides all the electrics and the plugs. All services above the ceiling tiles are rusting. Because the proposed design has no ceiling within most of the site and services will be on show, the existing pipes have been replaced or simply cleaned.

The trusses sit on a series of columns supporting the main frame which divides the space. The spacing between the trusses is very unsual as the space varies between 4 and 9 metres, vertically the trusses sit about 3500mm from the ground so it is difficult to make use of the head height with these restrictions.

The standard fink truss (fig 0.0) has less webbing than the fink truss used in the Warwick Street site. Because of the larger span of the site, more webbing has to be used to support the heavier load of the roof (fig 0.1 ) and the addition of a king post to support the apex.

ROOF Because of the flat roof and the pitched roof sitting at varying heights - 500mm difference - there is a corrugated steel panelled screen covering the facade to hide the connection. This screen also has a purpose for attaching lighting and signage to the facade.
The roof itself is a corrugated steel sheet fastened to the trusses. The roof is very weak with no insulation above the suspended ceiling resulting in a very cold space. The building has two gable ends where the steel roof sits upon, and at the West end of the site there is a flat roof behind the gable end.

STRUCTURAL LOADS
Most of the buildings weight is distributed across the roof structure supported by the fink trusses. The king post supports the apex and transfers its dead load down to the steel columns distributing the weight to the concrete floor. Environmental loads are loads that act as a result of weather and topography, such as wind and rain.

Compression
Tension Environmental Load
The gable ends distribute a large mass transferred to the concrete floor. The flat roof area is supported by one of the gable ends and an additional load bearing wall.

PAUL CROFTS STUDIO The Paul Croft studio staircase was a main influence during design of the staircase due to the similar materiality and monolithic style. The staircase has a recessed handrail within the structure that is lit with LED strip lighting to highlight. In addition, the staircase sits away from the wall as a single structure to reinforce the monolithic style. The staircase was used as a main precedent during design to influence the form and style created.

BARRISOL PAVILLION The Bienalle Interieur 2014 displayed Ross Lovegroves Barrisol sculptural lights in a Barrisol stretched pavillion. The designs are formed around tubes in infinate loops where the material is pulled taut around the shapes. LEDS are installed within the forms which glow through the translucent material. The light structures have inspired the formation of the light cones within the projection gallery through use of materality and its effect when glowing with the addition of LEDS.

C
The two private entrances are located at each end of the South elevation. The first(B) is for private entrance to the workshop space for out of hours access. The second entrance(C) is a private entrance for the Ouseburn Coffee Companys external shop that projects through the opening. The shop serves internally and externally, with a private entrance for out of hours access and deliveries. The final entrance(D) is an alternative entrance for deliveries, wheelchair access and fire escape.
44
WHEELCHAIR ACCESS
When designing the stairs, Part M (M1, 1.27-) has been taken into consideration regarding the access and circulation. The rise of the stairs is 170mm and the going is 270mm. There is an unobstructed landing of 1200mm at each level. The staircase has a gap between the wall with hand rails that are set away from the side of the staircase and supported in a way that avoids impeding finger grip. The handrail is lit for a visual connection.
Fig 1.6 Source: www.planningportal.gov.uk
The lift available for wheelchair users accommodates a wheelchair user and an accompanying person of 1500mmx1500mm (part M 3.28) providing unobstructing manouvering space. The lift will have internal mirrors to allow views for the user to see behind when reversing. This complies with Part M M1/M2 of the approved documents.
Fig 1.7 Source: www.planningportal.gov.uk
The surface surrounding the parking bay designated for disabled people should allow the safe transfer of the passenger or driver to a wheelchair and transfer from the parking bay to the access route to the building without undue effort, barriors to wheelchairs or hazards from tripping. This complies with part M1/M2 1.15 of the approved documents. The parking bays are located next to the rear entrance specifically for accessible entrance to allow the passenger to gain convenient access, this complies with part M1/ M2 1.16 of the approved documents.

WHEELCHAIR ACCESS
The building has suitable W.C access for all users including a wheelchair accessible toilet within both the male and female toilet blocks. In addition, there is a unisex disabled toilet at the west end of the building beside the workshop and studios. This complies with part M 1/M3 section 5 (sanitary accommodation) of the approved documents. There is W.C available for both genders at either end of the building where most the facilies are located which should reduce the time to reach the toilet. All disabled toilets comply with part M (part 5) regarding the sizes and fittings of the space.
Fig 1.9 Source: www.planningportal.gov.uk
Seating in the cinema is designed to allow wheelchair users to have appropriate space to park the chair of 900mm wide by 1400mm deep. There is available space at the lowest level for 4 wheelchair users to comfortably park the chair which complies with part M1 4.12 of the approved documents, to allow 1% of the total amount of seating capacity for perminant wheelchair user seating. In addition, there is 2 removable chairs from the lowest level to allow for more wheelchair space if necessery.

RAMPED ACCESS Due to the external ground gradient, there is a raised floor level central to the site. The rise between the two levels is 500mm. Complying with Part M 1.19 for the addition of a ramp, the maximum gradient must be 1:20 with a maximum rise of 500mm. This would make the going of the flight 10m. The ramp is placed for wheelchair users and bike users due to the internal bike store located beside the ramp.

FIRE STRATEGY 48
Travel distance for plant room when escape route is not in open air, the minimum travel distance is 18m. The plant room is located with a direct 18m route to the exit.
The bar has a direct doored exit to the staff office with access to the corridoor, however there is a hatch on the bar front for escape in the event of a fire. The steps are prominantly marked as they are part of the escape route
Travel distance for places of special fire hazard is minimum 9m when only one direction of escape is possible. For the kitchen the closest fire escape is 8m from door to door.
Ground Floor Travel distance for assembly and recreation areas with seating in rows the minimum travel distance where travel is possible in more than one direction is 32m. In the cinema there two sets of 3 rotating doors with 2 directions to escape from each side, the closest route on each side is no longer than 32m. The mini screen has two routes less than 32m down 2 seperate sets of staircases.
The occupancy of the Warwick Street site is over 700 people based upon the floor space factors of a venue space which is 0.5 people per m2. The Star and Shadow Cinema complies with Part B of the approved documents. There is 3 exits(ABC) across the South elevation which leads onto Warwick Street where there is limited distruptions in the way to allow an easy means of escape. Adjacent to the site is city stadium consisting of a large grassy area which can be occupied as the assembly point after escape as a safe location. There is an additional fire exit at the East elevation(D) for a close exit for the kitchen area as a place of special fire hazard.
KEY Exit Points Escape Route

Fire Alarm and Fire Detection System There will be electronic automatic alarm systems installed in all areas across the building to ensure all visitors and staff are aware in the event of a fire. Fire alarms will be located in all areas including the projection gallery, the cinema/venue, the workshop and the cafe area. There will be a heat detector positioned in the kitchen to prevent false alarms. All exits and escape routes are suitablly signed to allow for a quick escape wtih additional emergancy lighting in the event of a fire. In addition, there will be audiable alarm signals to alarm users with hearing impairments. Fig 0 illustrates the fire alarm positioning across the builidng. There is an alarm within every enclosed room, and alarms spread evenly across the rest of the space.
B1 - Unprotected and Protected Stairways The staircase leading to the first floor is directly opposite the main entrance allowing a direct route to a safe place, it exceeds the recommended size at 2000mm wide.
Design For Horizontal Escape There is a main set of stairs to allow escape from the first floor, in addition there is the stairway access through the projection gallery which can then lead to the exit through the workshop or through the main entrance. In the event of a fire, the lift will stop by the order of the fire alarm panel and will automatically drop to the ground floor, the doors will stay open and the lift will remain out of use. There is evacuation chairs located beside all sets of stairs on the first floor for the use of wheelchair users during a fire to ensure they can get to the ground floor safely.
KEY - Fire alarm - Sprinkler System
All corridoors and escape routes are 2000mm or wider which is suitable for part M and part B of the approved documents for the occupancy of the building, and all exits are 1000mm wide or above. As the corridoors are open spaces and are not essentially corridoors, the spaces are not fire protected. There is extra defence to prevent the spread of the fire in these areas with fire defence doors. There is self-closing fire doors positioned centrally infront of the reception area(shown in fig 0) All escape doors open in the direction of the escape as it is expected that there will be more than 60 people at a time using the door to escape.
Sprinkler System Part B 0.16 Sprinkler systems will be installed in areas of the building to reduce the risk of fire spread. The sprinklers will be located in all areas except the projection room and areas holding the electric mains.

PART B2 & B3 Internal Fire Spreads (Linings) To ensure fire spread over the internal linings of the buildings inhabited. Preventions regarding the materiality of the internal structures and linings of furniture have been made to reduce the ignition rate. Within circulation spaces, general access and escape routes where there is rapid spread, all surfaces will be of class 0. The Tata Steel blackened steel cladding uses colorcoat* pre-finished steel products which can meet all the requirements for the internal surfaces of walls and ceilings. Typically performance will range from 15 to 60 minutes insulation and up to 240 minutes integrity. The steel structure is coated with a thin film intumescent paint with 120 minutes fire protection, the paint was applied off site for quicker construction. There is also the addition of intumescent seal applied on door and window edges to prevent smoke travelling through the spaces.

B4 External Fire Spread To ensure the external walls and roof of the building resist the spread of fire over the walls and from one building to another The corrugated steel roof structure is also coated with intumescent paint giving the structure 120 minute fire protection.
B5 Access and Facilities For The Fire and Rescue Service The building is designed and constructed to provide reasonable facilities to assist firefighters in the protection of life. In the event of a fire, there is 3 possible access points for the fire service located along Warwick Street with adequate space over the required 4m turning circle for the fire engines.

FIRE STRATEGY MATERIALS
BARRISOL
BIRCH PLYWOOD
Fig 2.6 Source: www.specilisedpanels.co.uk
Birch Plywood Thickness - 12mm K Value - 0.13 W/mK Thermal Resistance - m2K/W: 0.83
Fig 2.5 Source: www.barrisol.co.uk
Birch plywood panels are used throughout the building including some floor and ceiling panels. The birch plywood ceiling panels achieve euroclass C specification(60 min), the wood is tested to EN13823:2002 (Single burning item test) and EN ISO 11925 (Ignability test) The birch plywood is impregenated with a fire retardant DRICON treatment before installation. The effect is to insulate the plywood reducing the amount of heat loss, reducing fire growth rate, limiting fire spread and smoke production.
Barrisol material used on the light boxs in the projection gallery are classsification M1. Class M1 means the material is permanently non-flammible.
52
FINISHES & MATERIALITY 53
CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER Cross laminated timber has been used throughout the building to build the studio and workshop pods and the seating structures in the cafe. CLT was chosen to build the structures due to its strength and ability to require the panels in a variety of thickenesses. CLT has a clean and smooth finish which is similar to the finish of the steel cladding used in the central structure.
BLACKENED STEEL CLADDING Blackened steel was chosen in a conceptual manor to reflect the darkness outside of the projection beam. Steel as a cladding allows for great insulation which was required for the cinema and venue space. TATA steel cladding panels were chosen due to the colourcoat finishes that provide a great colour palette. Colour: Kronos in matte
GREY SCREED RESIN Screed resin is used throughout the building, it was chosen for its seamless and aesthetically pleasing finish. It is easy to clean, slip resistant and suits the style keeping a clean colour palette across the whole design. Colour: Mondeco crystal ice (9mm)
54
BARRISOL MATERIAL Barrisol is used throughout the cones in the projection gallery. It was chosen as a lightweight materiakl to allow the light of the projection to glow through it creating a light box. Colour: Blanc
WHITE BIRCH PLYWOOD White birch plywood is used throughout the building, its used on the flooring structure running at either side of the central steel structure. It was chosen to conceptually reflect the light within the projection beam as it lines the ceiling and flooring within the cinema and projection gallery.

FIT OUT DESIGN & INTEGRATION OF SERVICES 56
DETAIL A
Cellular steel beam with sections for wires and services Projector frame bolted to steel beam
Projector slides into frame for easy removal
Within the ceiling structure, the beams used are cellular steel beams with circular sections. Because of the amount of services that will be running through the ceiling for the light boxs and general lighting, the ceiling will need a large service space to allow for this. To reduce the depth of the ceiling, the services run through the web of the beams and reduce the over all ceiling depth.
The projector bracket has been bolted onto the beam. The bracket allows for accessibility to the projector as it simply slides in and out of the bracket. Fig 2.7 Source: TATA Steel Corus Studio Guide Fig 2.8 Projector ceiling bracket Source: www.epson.co.uk

48mm lighting track with LED strip light sttached
Within the cinema/venue area there will be little general lighting will be needed before and after screenings at a low level. LED strip lighting is recessed into the edges of the ceiling panels which will reflect off the light birch panels to glow at an appropriate level for an area to allow users to enter, exit and find their seats. 30mm recess

LIGHTING LAYOUT 61
General lighting is distributed throughout the building to light the circulation space with artificial lighting when required. The front of the site will receive natural daylight throughout the day where artificial lighting will not be needed as much, so general lighting is limited across the front of the building. Within the cafe seating pods there will be additional lighting for the evening when required.
The projection gallery has no general lighting within the zone as the cones act as light boxes within a darkened area creating a glowing atmosphere.

GENERAL LIGHTING
B
Generalised lighting will be distributed throughout the circulation areas across the building. The KREON HOLON 40 directional spot light is used to reflect a cinema projector. The lights will be fitted to suspended steel track (see fig 0) running throughout the building to hold lighting and services at the required height. The generalised lighting is used only for the circulation zones which should require 50-100lm/ sqm. The KREON HOLON 40 light has an output of 780lm/sqm which will light the walkways to a sufficient degree.
