An Athenaeum for the Unearthed by Sophie Peterson

Sophie Peterson | Unit 18

ARCHITECTURAL INTERROGATIONS OF HOLDING SPACE FOR UNEARTHED REALITIES IN INNER EAST LONDON.

Design Realisation - 2021

An architecture which allows a dynamic, non-stop community to access the stillness, surprise and contemplation of the forest is proposed through the design of a local archival display. This architecture distorts our expectations of what a new development within Inner East London looks like as well as revealing the embedded narratives of local people and objects which would otherwise be hidden, discarded or lost to time.

01.01 Introduction Forest as a Mirror

Distortion of Accepted Physical Reality Greek philosopher Phyrro believed that we could not trust any of our senses and therefore could not trust our experienced reality. This made him rethink his whole life. A few drops of nonsensical perspective sometimes does us good.

“Why is a raven like a writing desk?”

Encapsulation of Time

QUESTIONING THE UNQUESTIONED

Like Alice from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, we are all navigating the forests in our heads, scrambling to find a solid footing beneath our feet, and simply attempting to make sense of the time and space we inhabit. When we look inwards at this forest of consciousness, we find a narrative of our reality.

NEX

Time is a social construct which rose to its all time importance during the Industrial Revolution. A world without time is one without routine. It gives us space to regain our agency and make our own decisions.

ERE

T ?

As a mirror of a self-defined reality, the forest allows the space for questioning what we think we know. But what if we distorted the image? A spatial language is found through experimentation with the museum programme; a space created for looking backwards in time. This exploration plays on the metaphorical warping of time and space, specifically within Inner East London. An architecture which allows a dynamic, non-stop community to access the stillness, surprise and contemplation of the forest is proposed through the design of a local archival display. This architecture distorts our expectations of a new development within Inner East London as well as revealing the embedded narratives of local people and objects which would otherwise be hidden, discarded or lost to time. Pause is given to the gritty, dynamic and resourceful London that we know - a space for pondering, reflection and contemplation of the narratives we live by is offered in return. Page 6

New Ways of Living

Cultural Tolerance & Appreciation

Appreciating the Balance Between Chaos & Order

Questioning the unquestioned leads to new and innovative ways of living through rethinking old ideas.

When we question our accepted reality, we look for answers from the reality of other cultures, societies and generations. Here, we can find an appreciation for values different, and yet just as important, as our own.

Chaos and order must exist together. With too much of either entity we stagnate or lose control. If we share the realities of chaos and order from others, effectively sharing the lessons learned, an appreciate for the balance between the two might be found.

It ensures that we break the accepted cycle of how to live and instead ask ‘but why do we live this way?’

Encapsulation of Nature Nature and the notion of ‘unearthing’ is at the core of the proposal. It suggested that everything already exists, if we are just willing to uncover it. Beyond this, how can nature be warped to tell new stories of our reality? Page 4

The proposal is built on the foundation of artifacts and archival objects stored by the Tower Hamlets Council in warehouses which are not currently accessible to the public. This exhibition of objects would be woven into the submission of sentimental objects submitted by local peoples.

The museum programme represents the crossover between time and space. A museum is a place for looking back in time. What if it could be a place of looking backwards, forwards and side-to-side in time? Stories from the past are just important as stories of the future and the ones we are currently living by. Within inner east London, the museum subscribes to a typical set of typologies. The gallery spaces are generally elongated, orthogonal spaces adjoining a similar but more expansive atrium space which lays the foundations for navigation around the building. Circulation, then, appropriately fits within this orthogonal style and generally tells a chronological story of the past. Beyond this, the structural expression generally employs a grid of columns which intrude into the space to reinforce the authority of the architecture and what is being presented within it as ‘truth’. These typologies form a basis of ‘the expected’.

01.03 Context & Site

A Cultural Pressure Cooker in the East

Physical and Environmental Strategy NEW SPITALFIELDS MARKET New Spitalfields Market is a permanent establishment which uses the market typology, attempting to negotiate the City of London edge with the low rise, diverse program of lower Shoreditch. Foot traffic generally travels from this market, up towards Brick Lane and towards Columbia Road Flower Market. This is what I like to call the ‘urban artery of Inner East London.

TRUMAN BREWERY WEEKEND MARKETS Intensity of city fringe sprawling outwards

Whilst controversial due its contribution to gentrification, Truman’s adds to the culture of pedestrian priority and cultural expression through the selling of international foods, goods and services during weekend markets. The weekly bustle of local residents, vendors and tourists make this area the pressure cooker of culture it has come to be known for.

Target of the Blitz, WWII

CULTURE OF STREET ART + GRAFFITI Inner East London has a rich history of an outspoken working class people from every corner of the globe. Expression of varying ideologies, particularly from youth culture, surface through street art and graffiti which unlike in many cases - actually adds grit and appeal to the area.

SHOREDITCH HIGH STREET OVERGROUND

Brick Lane was given its name during the 1600’s as the land was historically excavated for its London clay use to build local homes. Access through the Truman Brewery Markets allows for the feeling of hidden alleyways of discovery and adds to the otherworldly feeling of this area.

To the north of the site sits a reserve for Shoreditch High Street Overground as well as Central and Victoria underground lines which run below. The site is well connected by London’s trains, subways, buses and cycle paths, making this site easily accessible for those near and far.

Inspired by the resourcefulness of teenagers taking cardboard out of my recycling bin to create protest posters and the many times I see people stopping to look at stickers and street art plastered across any flat surface, I wanted to reveal these hidden moments. There is a rich history of adversity, courage, resilience and forthrightness which still saturates the gritty streets. It’s hidden in the small gestures of the people, their day to day activities and their frank communication. I believe this culture is embedded in objects of sentimental value. Even the smallest items have their story to tell. From a set of keys found on Brick Lane which lead to on an adventure to a propeller recovered from one of the first ships which docked in St Katherines & Wapping. No story is too small or too big as long as it tells a narrative which would otherwise be lost to time or lack of places to share stories.

E As an individual who has migrated to the Spitalfields and inner east London area, it took me at least a year to learn about what really makes my community tick. I still believe I have only touched the surface.

The current neighbors to the south and west of the site are both gated, reserved land for car parking. There is very limited activity from these buildings as Grey Eagle Street provides little amenity to the public besides being a back road short cut from Brick Lane to Commercial Road for delivery drivers and cyclists alike.

Formal Language / Bringing the Architectural Forest to Inner East London

In Alice in Wonderland, reality is bent out of scale, out of the realm of pragmatism and into a world where the senses are saturated and confronted by the unreal. The proposed athenaeum warps the expected typologies of a museum in inner east London as an experiment of architectural experience.

Distorted Diptychs

The Forest What if we could translate the forests spatial qualities into an architectural language?

A diptych is a pair of interrelated ideas which compare and contrast against each other. In the case of the athenaeum, notions of stretching, twisting, flipping and dwarfing are used not to create a formal language, but rather to create ideas about how traditional spaces might operate in a distorted manner.

Exhibition Spaces Traditional exhibition spaces are elongated, orthogonal halls in which there may or may not be podiums in between to shape the navigation of the space. What if these places of exhibition were instead expansive, exploratory spaces?

Exhibition Space

What if we used the forest’s spatial language to distort our accepted sectional spacial typologies? Entry Threshold Telling a narrative about the past is one thing. But to deem it as truth, authority and trust is needed. It is expected that a museum has a monolithic entry which demands attention and respect. What if the entry could instead be less insistent and instead draw visitors in with curiosity?

Column Structure

Atriums An atrium receives light from above and generally is a place which orientates a visitor. It is usually seen as a ‘core’. What if this idea of core was duplicated and made to be places of stillness and contemplation? What if these cores where entries to new worlds? Like Alice’s rabbit hole.

CIRCULATION

Conceptual Model A formal language is found through the distortion of the wall, floor and ceiling plates by distorting where they begin and where they end.

Circulation If exhibition spaces and atriums are orthogonal, it is almost a given that circulation will follow with the same quality. A driving factor in the proposed scheme is a circulation system that feels more like a child’s playground, rich with cross-circulation and nooks and crannies. Column Structure Column structure guides visitors through a space and is one of the most important elements of circulation. Can the formal language of piles for column be pushed past? What if the columns where instead a forest of trees. This brings us to the formal language of the building on the next page.

WALL TO FLOOR PLATE

This language will become the basis of creating a hyper aware dynamic and conscious experience within the proposal. Changing heights, differing light conditions, the sounds of water and differing smells all bring an Alice in Wonderland-esque atmosphere to the proposal and grounds the user.

The original Grey Eagle Street site presents the opportunity to use the bricks used in its construction and ignite the metaphor of building the foundation of the building on the history that already exists on site. Reclaimed bricks reduced the overall embodied energy and extends the life cycle of the material by re-purposing them.

- 3000mm (Basement RFL)

STRUCTURAL STRATEGY The structural strategy of the archival display is driven by its formal language as well as the overarching metaphor of storytelling. The tensile fabric stretched across the facade could be removed in places during winter to allow further thermal mass warming. Fabric elements could also be added in summer to order to provide further shading. This changing narrative fits alongside the use of reclaimed bricks from site to build on the metaphor of revealing the history, stories and realities of the site, the wider area and its people. The challenge faced by this project is the sustainability of the concrete which the architectural industry has been moving away from for some time now.

Sun Strategy The site is heavily shaded to the south from large commercial buildings, ensuring that majority of the site is already shielded from the harsh midday summer sun. Eastern morning sun will be vital to heating the thermal mass of the building as well as ensuring late sun in the afternoon is able to reach interior spaces. As such, the southern corner of the proposal has nestled itself into the existing parti-walls where amenities, accessibility and offices are located. More expansive, atmospheric spaces are located towards the east and north of the site appropriately.

Thermal Strategy The building has an internal thermal envelope with a semi-indoor external balcony which is insulated by a double tensile fabric facade. The thermal properties of concrete mean the building stays cool throughout the day and warm throughout the night during summer. The atriums present a unique opportunities to create an interesting atmosphere environment of stillness. The challenge here will be to create stillness instead of stagnation.

Water, Drainage + Treatment Strategy As the rooftop is almost completely accessible, it provides a good opportunity to drain the water catches down towards gray water tanks to be reused for watering vegetation on site, emergency fire resources and for some amenity uses. Drainage systems would preferable run in pipes embedded in the cast concrete to maintain design drivers. The process of drainage, water supply and treatment is currently more of a passive one.

Everyone deserves to be able to experience the athenaeum. Thus, dual accessibility mechanisms of ramps and elevator access mean that disabled and handicapped individuals can access all areas within the proposal. The lift shaft runs from the basement to the first floor, which is then serviced by ramps.

Fire Strategy The numerous entry points of the proposal make safe egress from the building easy. There are, however, two main exits - one through the entry to Grey Eagle Street and one towards the courtyard which spills onto Calvin Street. An emergency meeting point has been designated on the south east corner of the block (as seen in the plan below), where a carpark currently exists.

Structural Design Strategies

Designing for the Community This is a public building, therefore it should serve the public honoring its cultural, social and historic contexts. Accessibility, inclusitivity, materiality and labour choices are integral here.

Designing for the Senses The Athenaeum is not just a museum, library, archive or gallery. It is all these things and more. To tell stories and narratives, we must be able to ignite our senses to connect to our empathic core.

Designing for Use

Designing for the Metaphor

How best can the Athenaeum serve the community? Public exhibitions, open landscaped spaces, inclusitivity and access to all are at the core of these decisions.

Forest as a mirror of the self and reality drives the proposal. Space to be still, to contemplate and to explore the unexpected are embedded in the structural and material choices throughout.

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Structural Systems

What is it made of?

Concrete Mix Pulverized Fuel Ash (PFA) Cement with Recycled Aggregate Ground Floor

PFA is a by-product of coal-burning power stations. The ‘ash’ is recovered and can be used as a cement substitute up to approx 70%. Sand, gravel, crushed stone, and asphalt reclaimed from discarded structures will be used as a recycled aggregate. Whilst the architectural industry is moving away from the use of concrete, the design drivers and formal language demand it’s material properties.

Primary Structural System

Fabric Coated Polyester PVC PVC coated polyester is the most commonly used architectural fabric. It is relatively inexpensive, has reasonable structural strength and translucency, can be joined relatively easily at seams by welding, and has an reasonable life expectancy.

A mix of pulverized fuel ash cement substitute and recycled aggregate makes up the primary system of structure within the proposal to execute the formal language and design outcomes. The top heavy, canopy-like modules which make up the architectural experience require an easily manipulated material - in this case, a low embodied concrete mix - which will adhere to formwork.

Structurally, PVC polyester can last in excess of 20 years.

Reclaimed Bricks from Site The original Grey Eagle Street site presents the opportunity to use the bricks used in its construction and ignite the metaphor of building the foundation of the building on the history that already exists on site. Reclaimed bricks reduced the overall embodied energy and extends the life cycle of the material by re-purposing them. Basement Page 13

The Top Heavy Pour

Step One: Formwork for the first pour is set up, including structural plywood and steel bracing members Step Two: 200mm rigid insulation is inserted with insulation anchors. First pour of recycled concrete mix is poured. 14 days to cure. Step Three: Formwork for the second pour is set up, including further structural plywood and steel bracing members. Anchors for the facade system are added plus rigid insulation for the upper floor.

This ‘chunk’ will be used in an extruded, curved and prototyped manner.

Step Four: Second pour is cast. 28 days to fully cure.

Some elements of the proposal sit at 2.5m long chunks.

Step Five: Formwork is removed. Additional fittings can be added.

Material Distortion

Alice in Wonderland ventures through a world of objects which are out of scale, out of the realms of reality and just plain... odd.

Distorted Concrete

This zest for adventure, curiosity and child-like imagination are integrated through experimentation with materiality.

Distorted Concrete The Atrium of Touch focuses on the haptic experience of the user. Light is reflected off mirrored surfaces. Pulley systems allow exhibited items to float within the atrium and are shifted by the users engagement with the object. The space itself uses inspiration from Alice being either too big or too small for rooms by having the space seemingly close in or feel as if it is sliding down the walls, as if the aggregate was too heavy to hold the cement in place.

Translucent Concrete Translucent concrete is created by inserting clear fiberglass rods (usually a max of 2mm) into the concrete cast then pouring. This results in a material which has an incredibly monolithic feel gaining some translucency and, hopefully, a big of magic which makes the building look as if it is appearing as it is approached.

Step One: Insert fiberglass rods into formwork at increasing centers (from very dense to the east, to very sparse to the west).

Step Two: Pour recycled concrete over, cure and remove formwork. Daylight is able to penetrate through fiberglass rods.

03.02 Thermal Strategy Ventilation

Thermal Envelope

Ventilation is a major challenge in this building due to its monolithic formal language. A series of ventilation strategies have been employed to ensure user comfort, especially over the summer.

Strategy 1: Stack Effect

Located within a climate of extremes (somewhere between 0o in winter and 35o in Summer), operable openings are absolutely key to thermal comfort year round.

AIR OUTLET = HOT AIR ESCAPES

The manner that hot air rises and will attempt to find a way towards a cooler equilibrium. AIR IN

STACK EFFECT UPWARDS

STACK EFFECT: HEAT ESCAPING THROUGH SKY LIGHT

Strategy 2: Cross Ventilation Moves air through the building through an entry and an exist.

HEAT ESCPAING VIA SLIDING TERRACE DOORS HEAT ESCAPING VIA OPERABLE LOUVES

COOL AIR

The thermal envelope which at first appears to be complex. This is due to the porous and ‘maze-like’ experience of the building. However, there is two main conditions: 1. Internal 2. Semi-external (outdoor balcony exhibition) Internally, there are three micro-climates (see next page). Three strategies have been employed to deal with varying and complex conditions.

Strategy 3: Cooling Via Evaporation

STACK EFFECT: HEAT ESCAPING THROUGH SKY LIGHT

EVAPORATION OF WATER CREATING COOLING EFFECT AIR OUTLET = EVAPORATION LOSSES

Strategy 3: Cooling Via Evaporation Evaporation causes cooling because the process requires heat energy. The energy is taken away by the molecules when they convert from liquid into gas.

03.02 Thermal Strategy Ventilation

Thermal Envelope

Ventilation is a major challenge in this building due to its monolithic formal language. A series of ventilation strategies have been employed to ensure user comfort, especially over the summer.

Strategy 1: Stack Effect

Located within a climate of extremes (somewhere between 0o in winter and 35o in Summer), operable openings are absolutely key to thermal comfort year round.

AIR OUTLET = HOT AIR ESCAPES

The manner that hot air rises and will attempt to find a way towards a cooler equilibrium. AIR IN

STACK EFFECT UPWARDS

STACK EFFECT: HEAT ESCAPING THROUGH SKY LIGHT

Strategy 2: Cross Ventilation Moves air through the building through an entry and an exist.

HOT AIR

HEAT ESCPAING THROUGH OPERABLE LOUVRES

OPERABLE LOUVRED WINDOWS

SLIDING DOORS

HEAT ESCPAING VIA SLIDING TERRACE DOORS HEAT ESCAPING VIA OPERABLE LOUVES

COOL AIR

Strategy 3: Cooling Via Evaporation

STACK EFFECT: HEAT ESCAPING THROUGH SKY LIGHT

EVAPORATION OF WATER CREATING COOLING EFFECT AIR OUTLET = EVAPORATION LOSSES

Strategy 3: Cooling Via Evaporation Evaporation causes cooling because the process requires heat energy. The energy is taken away by the molecules when they convert from liquid into gas.

Materials

RECLAIMED BRICK

As the bricks are on-site there is no further cost to the environment in terms of manufacture and transport of materials. The embodied energy of the bricks is almost non-existent besides the process of restoring the bricks to their usable state.

PVA SUBSTITUTE CEMENT WITH RECYCLED AGGREGATE CONCRETE

The recycled concrete aggregate would come straight from site. Broken bricks, cracked tiles, stone and gravel are in abundance due to the building’s derelict status. A reduced cement substitute, such as pulverized fuel ash (PFA), is used to reduce the usual carbon impact from 0.9 pounds of CO2 for every pound of cement by 60-70% of that.

Manufacture

SEMI-TRANSPARENT POLYVINYL COATED POLYESTER (PES) FABRIC

PVC fabric facades are light weight, highly durable, flexible and resistance to different weather conditions. RECLAIMED BRICK

The idea that PVC-containing materials should be excluded in the search for sustainable materials in the construction industry does not apply in the case of polyester/ PVC facade mesh. Producers offer recycling programs to fully process waste and replacement materials.

WHATS THE IMPACT OF THEIR PRODUCTION? Besides the process of restoring the bricks to their usable state, there is no further environmental cost as the bricks are on-site. Some additional bricks may be needed if the existing quantity is too low.

PVA SUBSTITUTE CEMENT WITH RECYCLED AGGREGATE CONCRETE

SEMI-TRANSPARENT POLYVINYL COATED POLYESTER (PES) FABRIC

The manufacture of the recycled concrete is by far the most carbon & energy intensive process.

PE is comprised of carbon, hydrogen and chlorine and results in a single-ply membrane that is simple to manufacture.

70% of the cement will be a PVA substitute with the remaining aggregate coming from site and other recycled sources.

During fabrication, remnants can be recycled and melted down to be reproduced, resulting in less waste.

02 Transport

RECLAIMED BRICK

PVA SUBSTITUTE CEMENT WITH RECYCLED AGGREGATE CONCRETE

As the bricks are on-site there is no further cost to the environment in terms of manufacture and transport of materials. Some additional bricks may be needed off site if the existing quantity is too low.

WHAT ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION TO SITE?

Use

The use of on-site aggregate reduces transportation emissions. Some cement mix and transportation of pulverized fuel ash substitute will have to be sourced to site with ready-mixed concrete trucks transporting the material to the pour location.

WHERE WILL IT END UP?

As PE fabric is extremely light weight, can be manufactured locally and is very durable, so transport carbon costs are low. Planted Areas

04.02 Procurement, Roles and Relationships Design & Build Contract The design and build contract emphasizes cost and time values. The lifespan of the building, however, relies deeply on the quality of the craftsmanship. Therefore, the design + build contract will be supplemented with a prototyping test.

Construction Management Ruled out due to council timelines and budget.

The ‘Tree Chunk’ Prototype Management The formal design language relies on the arrangement of the core ‘chunk’. If this can be executed to a high degree, it is more likely the building will be of an overall higher quality.

Meet the Team The core team work together to create a proposal with needs, wants, structure, environment and safety in mind.

Contractor 2 Takes longer than Contractor 1 but procures materials from more environmentally sustainable sources and has more experience building with them.

Contractor 2 The long term success and sustainability of the Athenaeum relies heavily on the quality of the craftsmanship and the structural integrity of the concrete pour. Contractor 2 is chosen with consideration of their previous experience with recycled concrete and their general ethos and goodwill in the sustainable community.

Advantages • Appropriate for Tower Hamlets council considerations of time + cost to the local community. • Collaborative process between architect and contractor whereby the design can be flexible to suit further structural considerations. • Consultations between council authorities, architect, local community and consultants further contributes to an environment of a space for the local people. • Contractor takes on full responsibility of design quality and safety in line with local regulations.

Tendering Process

COST

Disadvantages • Architect relinquishes some control over the design • Quality: the contractor may exploit a specification that is open to interpretation + choose the cheapest route. • Cost: Risk that the client may have to pay more if the contractor has to take on an unreasonably high level of risk due to a lack of design clarity when tendering.

01 Arts Council of England (Government Funded)

The Arts Council of England invests money from Government and the National Lottery to support arts and culture across England. The Arts Council of England has two further grants suitable for funding the Athenaeum. 1. National Lottery Project Grant of £100,000 2. Catalyst Small Grands of £28,000.

Garfield Weston Foundation (Philanthropist Organisation)

The Garfield Weston Foundation donates over £80m annually to charities, organization and community groups in the United Kingdom. Having recently donated £20m to the British Museum for the West Wing Restoration, the Weston Foundation is a keen donor in promoting the stories which have gone untold in the east. The Garfield Weston Foundation has offered to donate £6,250,000 to the development of the Athenaeum.

Crowd Funding

Whilst crowdfunding doesn’t often have the same philanthropic reach, it is a good opportunity to gather community support and ensure that the built proposal doesn’t feel like an intrusion into the community, but a welcome addition. Crowd funding will have the ability to raise an additional £2000 for funding purposes.
