“Hi. I am 23 years old and a post graduate student studing for Web application at Leeds Metrolpolitan University.I stay at Harehills and I usually get a bus from there to city center, and another bus to Headingley where my campus is situated. The ruturn journey is also the same way. This is my daily routine.”

Leeds is the cultural, financial and commercial heart of the West Yorkshire Urban area. It is the UK's largest centre for business, legal, and financial services outside London, and its office market is the best in Europe for value. Most of these services are at the centre core of the Leeds region and only a few who are lucky enough,or rich enough, to live close to the largest centers are able enou to enjoy the magic of the city. The mechanism that created Leeds to become a single isolated core is because urban services agglomerate. The restaurants, theaters, shops, carnivals, cafes, night clubs, entertainment, tend to cluster. This is done since they want to locate in positions where most people are. So as soon as one nucleus has formed in the city, each of the other se services locate themselves in this nucleus, which apparently begins to grow.

“Hi. I am 35 years old. I am an accountant working in a firm at East Parade Road at City Center. I reside at Winrose Crescent which is about a 10 minute drive from the City Center. My most basic daily routine is travelling forth and back from home to my work place.”

“Hi. I am 27 years old and I am a Sales and Marketing Executive. I stay at the Manor Hills apartment. My work place is at Park Row which is at City Center. So usually for breaks I hang out at City Center. By evening at 6:30 I am back at home. Thats my daily routine.”

UNDERSTANDING LEEDS


By DECENTRALIZING Leeds, 24 new independent neighbourhoods will be introduced, each with its own rules or laws; or lack of them. People will be free to emigrate between localities and states; settling frequently or seasonally. Homogeneity of the place will be reversed with this alteration and the existing cultural richness of Leeds will continue to evolve in isolation above the atmosphere.

Universities are a major part of the cities we live in, Leeds University, Leeds Metropolitan and Trinity College account to approximately 86,000 students. This creates an enormous hub consuming large amounts of resources. The future of universities and the cities they inhabit will have to aim towards a zero carbon cycle if we are to reach future generations.

HEADINGLEY CAMPUS

The Th aim for this project using Leeds Metropolitan as an example is to adapt, enhance and create a zero carbon campus of Leeds. It will use locally based resources, improve on the existing consumption and create renewable/ environmentally safe closed loop systems. First we develop a Master plan that helps the entirety of Leeds, then we look specifically at each university department buildings for improvements. Based in the thriving city of Leeds, our University is one of the most popular in the country. With over 27,000 students and 2,800 staff, we are a people business and our contribution to the region and beyond is significant. We value our students’ dreams and goals: our university is committed to preparing them for the world of work in the best possible way. OUR PROPOSALS: - ZERO CARBON CAMPUS Low emissions, closed lop systems for input and output. - PROVIDING HIGH RISE TRAM To create a connected city for students and the public. - ACCOMMODATION To provide university owned accommodation at good quality, an affordable price and linked to there essential needs. - ENTERPRISE To provide students with a good education and increase there employability, encouraging a mix of students and professionals to work together creating a Leeds Met enterprise.

The campus has one node building which is also the start point of the tramline. The Headingley campus initially will not have any bridge links, as development of the individual building take place the new links would be built. This is to minimise disturbance to the campus and the old structures as much as possible.

The City campus will have two bridged modes, this is to allow new space for the library, linked lectures rooms and local accommodation for students. The new transport link runs through the central street (Woodhouse Lane), this provide easy access to Leeds Art College, Leeds University and Leeds Met.

There is a node building at the train station to provide for a large number of commuters, which is link also to Queens Hotel. The end of the transport line is within 5 minutes walk from the train station, this is accessible to people from the surrounding area such as Granary Wharf, Holbeck and Beeston.

The Node Towers are an opportunity for the University to provide various accommodation types for new and exiting students in response to the following statistics: - There are currently over 100,000 students in Leeds. - 36,000 of these are Leeds Met Students of which only 4000 can be accommodated by Leeds Metropolitan University. - The number of students wanting to live in purpose built accommodation continues to rise with a growth of 3% over 4 years. The Tower can be constructed out of a combination of dierent elements depending on their location and allow additional elements to be added in the future. The section opposite indicates a tower combination that includes public transportation, Library facilities, various live layouts, work layouts and open space. TYPICAL WORK LEVEL

The Computer and Creative Tech Department is located in the James Graham Building at the Headingley Campus of Leeds Metropolitan University. Built in 1910, the James Graham building is a neoclassical, three storey masonry structure. Originally built with two internal courtyards; these have been filled in to provide an extension to the library in the western courtyard and lecture theatres in the eastern courtyard.

The School of Computing & Creative Technology is housed mainly in the James Graham building occupying the east wing, and consists of 16 IT labs and a technicians office, all fitted out with a host of equipment to facilitate the various courses.

JAMES GRAHAM OVERVIEW

These figures are for the building as a whole At approximately 13% of the total volume of the James Graham, the school consumes around 34% of the total energy. Air-conditioning is at a constant strain due to a few factors. Firstly the heat from hardware, secondly the radiators which remain on despite heat from equipment and students warming rooms and lastly south facing rooms overheating from solar gain.

EFFICIENCY STUDY

MISC

Savings from the school of Computing and Creative Tech along with a holistic saving approach across the James Graham can reduce consumption by 41% to an amount of 1,855,680 kwh per year.


The benefits to consumption are substantial. Heating demands for the large auditoriums are removed along with the lighting demands. Purpose built, energy efficient auditoriums are proposed to be relocated.Reinstating the original eastern courtyard has multiple multipl benefits.It introduces natural light and ventilation to the adjacent internal spaces and also reduces the total building volume by approximately 20%.

A combined Heat and Power Biomass boiler is ideal or the size and heating demands of the James Graham. It also works with the existing heating infrastructure and hence requires minimal internal alterations. Electricityproduction is the bye-product of the heat production; therefore the electricity will only be produced when heating is required. This mean that during warmer months, electricity from means the grid would be required.The biomass CHP is capable of covering the full 902,400 kwh required to heat the building but will also have the existing gas boiler as a back-up. The electrical by-product will generate around 270,000 kwh of green electricity.The proposed system’sefficiency is reliant on a computer controlled building management system which distributes heat on a zonal arrangement, a setup which will save 25% on consumptions.

Solar potential is at its maximum on the James Graham building. Referring to the age and importance of the building, along with it being listed, a sympathetic solar intervention is proposed. With a total area of close to 2000 sq.m facing directly south and with no overshadowing, it is ideally placed. The solar facad facade needs to collect as much as solar energy possible and also shade the rooms prone to over heating. This is not a permanent feature and can be removed or upgraded as necessary. The solar array covers over 400 sq.m and generates over 110,000 kwh.Aesthetically, the facade takes inspiration from the window proportions and rhythm of the existing.

With a large roof surface area, careful collection of rain water will help cater for the WC facilities and also provide a water supply for grounds main maintenance.

The James Graham building is over 100 years old, it is a listed building and is synonymous with the Leeds Met University image. The alterations proposed, to help reduce energy consumption which needs to be sympathetic as well as effective, are as follows: 1. Solar facade 2. CHP Biomass Boiler 3. Rain/Grey Water Harvesting 4. Reinstatement of Eastern Courtyard 5. ‘Power-Off’/Efficiency Metality

GEOGRAPHIC AND HISTORIC ANALYSIS Bromborough is a large village within the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, in Merseyside, England. It is situated on the Wirral Peninsula, to the south of Bebington and to the north of Eastham. Bromborough Pool Village is located on the eastern side of the Wirral Peninsular, close to the banks of the River Mersey.

It was originally built by the Price family in 1853 and comprises a former chemical factory. In addition to existing factory plant, the site also contains a number of ancillary buildings including warehouses, oďŹƒce buildings wa (including one which is grade II listed), a laboratory, engineers workshops, a small reservoir and on-site parking. The factory which was initially constructed in 1853 for Price’s Patent Candle Company, has been vacant since 2009. Recently, several new residential projects have been proposed at the site of the chemical factory.

SITE ANALYSIS


ENVIRONMENTAL AGENCY FLOOD RISK MAP

The area is almost flat, sloping slightly down towards the Mersey. It is about 10 m above sea level. The geological conditions are thought to be bunter pebble beds. In accordance to the UK environmental agency, the region is understood to be affected by flood conditions. Major flooding is caused due to River Dibbin which flows north of the Bromborough Pool village. Most time of the year, the river maintains a low profile, exceptionally during monsoon when major flooding occurs since the water level in River Mersey raises raise outwardly.

WATER LEVEL AT 0 METERS

WATER LEVEL RISE TO 5 METERS

WATER LEVEL RISE TO 7 METERS

Moreover there are several proposals for residential designs and inorder to avoid the situation of flooding a barrier must be created to avoid the flow of excess river water towards the narrow channel.

“Since the operator’s cottage is more at risk of being attacked by the floods due to its location, the wiser idea would be to integrate the residential structure with the barrier. Such a design can make the dwelling a movable unit in the upward direction to save itself from the rising flood. The design involves a reverse mechanism: when flood barrier closes, the house rises and vice versa.”

ELEVATION DURING NORMAL CONDITIONS Working- The house works on a lifting mechanism which pushes a support column up out of the ground powered by hydraulic pumps, raising the building from its lowered position to a required secure height.

ELEVATION

SCALE1:100


ELEVATION DURING FLOOD CRISES Working- The lifting mechanism has been designed such that the lifting, at around 10 cm per 15 seconds, is gentle and steady. The bottom of the structure is provided with pontoon base to remain steady when above ground level. The Th moving element can be lowered more quickly as it is easy to lower the structure than lifting it. This means it would take about 12 minutes to reach its full height above ground.

The lifting mechanism has been designed in such a way that it is steady and gentle. Additionally, the bottom of the structure is provided with a pontoon base to remain steady when above ground level. The Th barrier is with alternating materials of concrete for strength and piezo ceramics for energy production. With the constants movement of water, when the barrier is fully or partially closed, can produce energy which can be stored on site for several purposes. Piezo ceramics is quite eective in high humid conditions and has a guaranteed durability for 4 years.

Average global temperatures are expected to increase by 2째F to 11.5째F by 2100, depending on the level of future greenhouse gas emissions, and the outcomes from various climate models. By 2100, global average temperature is expected to warm at least twice as much as it has during the last 100 years. Ground-level air temperatures are expected to continue to warm more rapidly over land than oceans. Some parts of the world are projected to see larger temperature increases than the global average.

The proposal is to wrap the building from the profuse heat with a panel consisting of PV cells on one side and OLED screen on the other. The PV cells can absorb the high intensity heat of Arizona converting it into useful energy sources. This panel can also protect the western side of the building as a screen and at the same time function usefully during adverse climatic conditions.

Af After German reunification in 1990 Prenzlauer Berg became a centre for more bohemian Berlin youth, while recently it has experienced gentrification. In the last decade or so, wealthy professionals with young families have moved to Prenzlauer Berg from all over Germany and its popularity has caused the rent to rise, resulting in an exodus of the local people to cheaper neighborhoods. Due to the gentrification issues in Prenzlauer Berg, the local residents are possesing a great stress to manage living there because of the rise in rents Hence, a proposition to relocate those in need to a satisfactory location can be a better option than to completely move out of the city to the outskirts.

Th Spree Park is being proposed as the site since the The plot has been abandoned for 11 years now and it is 10 kms from Prenzlauer Berg. Therefore it can be convenient for relocation as well as to those who wish to continue their business in Prenzlauer Berg. The Ferris wheel still stands, but has not operated since the park's closure, and only few remains of other attractions can be found on-site.


THE CONCEPT of the project is to create a self suďŹƒcient community

inorder to help those relocating by providing housing facilities. It is also accompanied with extensive agricultural production to provide the community with the necessities to survive. Moreover the waste from the agricultural products can be processed through an energy center to supply electricity for the entire site making it self sustainable.


Incorporating a community with shared facilities. The initial plan of the community can be set forward by the state to accommodate the gentrified people and later on, in the longer run, the community can be planned, owned and managed by the residents – who also share activities which may include cooking, dining, child care, gardening, and governance of the community. Common facilities include a kitchen, dining room, laundry, child care facilities, offices, internet access, guest rooms, and recreational features. Cohousing facilitates interaction among neighbors for social and practical benefits, economic and environmental benefits.

Every system within the community forms a closed loop inorder to become a self sufficient and sustainable environment. The system also reflects the post capitalist behaviour of Berlin since there is no individual benefit. The driving force of the project is to work together in harmony by sharing and co-operation. coThe four categories of the project : LIVE, WORK, SHOP AND MOVE; are all linked to each other forming a compact remedy for the post capitalist situation.
