Education facilities map - LBBD 1:10,000 @ A1
Site Plans
Barking & Dagenham has a high provision of primary and secondary education facilities across the borough, with two primary schools situated on Abbey green itself. However, the provision of tertiary education is less extensive, with no specialist provision for creative courses and making. As a result my project identifies this gap in education provision and provides a building housing studios, workshops and other educational spaces specifically for creative and making based courses including fine art, sculpture and jewellery design.
1 - River Roding 21
2 - Old granary building 3 - Highbridge road 4 - Site at Town Quay Wharf
Coventry University currently has a campus in Barking & Dagenham and my scheme would be a space for them to provide creative degree courses, something not currently present in the borough. As my building functions as a market hall and community building as well, the use of studios and workshops would be open to the public but only at specific times, with Coventry University having priority during term time.

8 - Community allotments 9 - Abbey Green
The setting for this programme is a much-forgotten aspect of East London; the Roding River and its environs in the borough of Barking and Dagenham. The Roding traverses a varied landscape where it directly interacts with the borough of Barking and Dagenham between the Harts Lane estate in the north of Abbey ward to the myriad of industrial sites along River Road. Barking suffers from many of the issues around identity, place and community cohesion seemingly so common in today’s world, but there is a real sense of optimism and drive within the local leadership and many reasons to view Barking and the Roding river as a place ripe with opportunity rather than beset with problems.

This proposal is comprised of two aspects; the first being a masterplan proposal extending from the end of East Street in the town centre, across Abbey Green and ending at town quay wharf; a unused site adjacent to the River Roding. The masterplan aims to revitalise the run down Abbey Green, returning it to its position as a hub for the town and its people. A new plaza at the end of East Street is proposed that will house independent retail and work sheds for local entrepreneurs and market stall owners, thus extending the success of the existing East Street market. The green is to be simplified and remodelled to create a direct route to the Roding. Space for allotments and sports pitches provide much needed activity to the green and allow it to appeal to the whole community.

Secondly, at the end of this masterplan route, will be a new market hall and educational building that sits on the edge of the river. This scheme also contains a public plaza in front, mirroring the beginning of the route and book ending Abbey green. This modest building is founded on principles of simplicity, openness and structural clarity that allow it express an accessibility to all members of the community whilst achieving a quality that the people of Barking can be proud of. Identifying a lack of creative enterprise opportunities in the borough and responding to the Creative Enterprise Zone report, the scheme houses riverside studio and workshop space to be used primarily by Coventry University as well as a new flexible market and community hall to house events, talks and provide a setting to celebrate the creative output of the borough.

Structural strategy Calzip Zinc standing seam roof 18mm timber planking underlay
The structural strategy for the scheme is set out across levels, with each level having a distinct structural and material expression. At basement level the key consideration is structural stability in poor soil conditions and water tightness due to the proximity to the River Roding, although the scheme is situated in flood zone 1, with a less than 1 in 100 annual risk of flooding. Concrete retaining walls are used to hold back earth from the site excavation, with a timber frame used to create a lighter, more open feel on the river facing facade.
Baubuche 300x100mm glulam beam
At street level the glulam timber frame system contributes largely to the internal and external expression of the building, highlighting the simplicity and quality of construction. Based on a 6m x 6m module the structure drives the plan layout and facade rhythm of the scheme with translucent polycarbonate cladding revealing the structural geometry behind and providing a contemporary take on the open air ground floor of a traditional market house. Translucent cladding also enhances views through the building to the River beyond.
12mm plasterboard
The primary material expression comes from a translucent polycarbonate cladding and glulam timber frame. The 6x6m module informs everything from structural grid to plan layout and facade co ordination. This module is divided into 500mm segments, with secondary structure and cladding corresponding to this. Polycarbonate was chosen as a cheaper, more robust alternative to glass to enable a transparency to the market hall, showcasing the activity inside and opening it up the public square in front. The model below shows how polycarbonate illuminates at night, showcasing a different structural expression and spatial quality.

Baubuche 300mm deep glulam beam
Vertical western red cedar cladding at first floor level maintains the vertical rhythm of the polycarbonate below but allows for cellular and ancillary spaces to be housed in a more visually controlled envelope compared with the open market and community hall spaces below. The timber clad upper floor also echoes the traditional market house with an open air ground floor and solid upper floor.
