VAUXHALL PLEASURE GARDENS DURING ITS HEYDAYS IN THE 18th CENTURY

‘Vauxhall Gardens is peculiarly adapted to the taste of the English nation; there being a mixture of curious show, — gay exhibition, musick, vocal and instrumental, not too refined for the general ear; — for all of which only a shilling is paid; and, though last, not least, good eating and drinking for those who choose to purchase that regale.’ James Boswell- Boswell’s Life of Johnson (1851)

0.1 UNIT AGENDA: EMPOWERING THE LEGACY OF GENERATION Z

WHO ARE GENRATION Z? The term ‘Generation Z’ is often used to describe the generation born between 2000 and 2010. Many people of this age are highly connected in modern societies, having had lifelong access to communication and media technologies A Magid whitepaper stated that they exhibit positive feelings about the increasing ethnic diversity and they are (insert statistic?) more likely than older generations to have social circles, which include people from different ethnic groups, races and religions. Generation Z is also considered to be more socially responsible because of greater access to information technology. As a result they are spatially aware of ecological problems and are therefore more likely to take a proactive stance towards the environment. ‘74% of teenagers, globally, consider climate change and global warming to be a greater threat than drugs, violence or war [1]

WHY SHOULD WE EMPOWER THE LEGACY OF GENERATION Z? The process in which ‘free time’ became ‘consumption time’ began in the second half of the nineteenth century. This threw the concept of public space into crisis as it began to be conceived not only as an element for exercising (political) control, but also for financial gain. Thus, cities became the objects of rational and utilitarian planning, which have redefined the field of architecture. Children, agents participating only in the industrial and economical development of Europe as false adults, became second-class citizens. Public space has been redefined to transport and provide, to buy and sell. For years, cities did not recognize any rights for children, giving them little or no space to dream, learn, interact, inform or contribute to society. Modernity has thus far made only a few shy attempts to reshape this ideology. A significant turning point in this process of restructuring, took place during the 1960s, demonstrated by numerous expressions of social discontent, in the form of art or public protest which have continued throughout recent decades, The festive subversion and anti-authoritarian outbursts from playful logic began to be employed as political tools in an attempt to generate alternative ways of making and contemplating the city, as well as organizing community life [2]. While this sensibility from the 60’s has widely influenced pedagogy, the architecture of schools, nurseries, playgrounds and sport areas and the city as a whole have not been revisited. Public space is still dominated by the car that facilitates the transportation of some citizens to and from their private homes, workplaces or centre’s of consumption. Councils are increasingly overwhelmed by transport problems, which often disregard the friendliness and quality of the public realm in urban environments. Generation Z are weak and vulnerable in our public spaces (both virtual and physical) and limited reserve of public buildings because rights have increasingly been transferred to the producers and consumers leading the market to redefine the way we live and interact with each other within the urban landscape. In the last decade, the idea that a socially conscious design can empower people has become popular. Those practicing ‘empowerment through design’ think innovation can be used as a catalyst for positive change in our society. The notion of empowerment is usually orientated to vulnerable groups and paying careful attention to their ignored rights. Generation Z can therefore benefit from the theory and practice on empowerment. Our design strategies will be conscious of others needs producing architectures which are flexible, visible and usable. Users’ feedback will become a crucial tool to critique our role as designers. Applying empowerment as a socially conscious design methodology can be viewed as a positive force, which will enhance the capacity of Generation Z to production inclusive and livable environments in the future. This bigger presence can constitute a legacy with remarkable material value, which will become valuable custom to pass on to the future. We are especially interested in the fabrication of heritage buildings and urban environments that benefit not only their owners and direct users but also the local community as a whole, impacting upon the ecosystem in the municipal area. The unit will investigate whether a better understanding of Generation Z and their capacity to empower themselves through design, when considered as first class citizens will produce the capacity to reshape cities with a remarkable legacies and outstanding heritage.

This group, which today ranges from 11 to 20 years old, has lived their entire life with instant access to mountains of data on any topic that flutters through their imaginations. They've never known the frustration or sheer physical effort of rifling through the M-O volume of the encyclopedia to find out about the Magna Carta. They're technologically savvy and just as likely to spend their time writing and programming video games as simply playing them. But they're also coming up in a world shaped by 9/11, the Climate Change Debate, Columbine and the War on Terror. They have a sense of social justice, strong environmental consciousness, philanthropy and maturity that comes with growing up during one of the most severe economic recessions in history.

BOTANIC LABORATORY FOR GENERATION Z

A key characteristic that define Generation Z is their fluency, or some may argue over dependence, on technology. These Digital Natives are very engaged with the world though social media and have a higher degree of social and environmental concerns as compared to previous generations. A consequence of a life in front of a screen however, is the lack of Phase 1 is the core of the Botanic Laboratory and where all the extention work would be ‘grown’ off from. This drawing shows how I envision the interaction with nature or the outdoors in general. By considering these characteristics, we laboratory would be used from day to day, as a garden and playground for generation Z members from the Vauxhall Primary School. can see there is a huge disparity between Generation Z’stheconcern for the natural environment and their knowledge of nature, especially in its tacit forms. PLANNED GROWTH: To deal with the disparity between concern and knowledge of nature, it is first necessary to question what nature is. ‘Nature’ is a highly loaded term and vast in its scope and application. It is first necessary to be specific in what aspect of nature to promote/exaggerate to The Topsy Turvy tomato holders will be a permanent fixture of the botanic help Generation Z members connect the disparity.

The plant growing Tomatoes project has always been at the heart of modern day schooling. It is one of the most fundamental experiments/ experiences that attempt to engage children with nature in an academic setting. With Generation Z losing touch with nature, the importance of the pot plant growing experiment should be emphasized. In essence, the main function of the preceding project was to develop a children centric botanic laboratory that exaggerates the plant growing process- creating an artificial nature to promote real nature. The idea is for the laboratory to be supported by the allotment holder in the neighbouring site, helping with the maintenance of the laboratory that Courgettes cannot The main produce of the laboratory is the humble courgette. and tomatoes have a similar harvest time and therefore can be sold simultaneously harvest market.

The grown produce will be sold during harvest season to generate profits to Courgette expand the scheme throughout its site.

EXPANDING THE BOTANIC LABORATORY INTO THE PLEASURE GARDEN An important aspect of the Botanic lab was its ability to be expanded as more produce was sold. To enable this functionality, the design was developed through a series of components that allowed for maximum flexibility in its growth.

The regeneration of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens will hence: •

Keep alive the theme of educating Generation Z about nature through tacit engagement

•

Provide complementary spaces to deal with the harvested produce of the laboratory such as a cookery school and cafe.

0.4 VAUXHALL’S LOST LEGACY OF THE PLEASURE GARDEN EXPLORING THE CLUES FROM THE PAST As stated before, Vauxhall Pleasure Garden has a rich history of being a centre of public entertainment stretching 2 centuries from the 17h century. Records were kept documenting its development and it is the intent of the regeneration to draw inspiration from its heyday to aid attract the public into the park. The project is as much about targeting Generation Z in learning about nature and engaging the outdoors as it is about bringing back the legacy of the Pleasure Garden.

1742 In its early days, Vauxhall Pleasure Garden’s main attraction was ‘The Grove’ where there was a music pavillion at the centre which also housed an organ.

The Grove

the straight row of boxes were called ‘dinner boxes’ where people could enjoy their food but also provide shelter from the elements- rain being a well documented problem.

CONTEXT

1.1 VAUXHALL- LONDON UK

E AT RE

Vauxhall is located to the south of the river Thames and prior to the industrial revolution was a rural village with predominately flat plains with scatterings of marshlands. It provided market garden produce for the nearby City of London across the river. Vauxhall Pleasure Garden was opened in 1662 as a retreat for Londoners from the crowded urban lifestyle. With the construction of Vauxhall Bridge and Vauxhall Bridge Road in 1816, the village was subsumed by the town of Lambeth and the industrialization it entailed perhaps its most famous export being Vauxhall Ironworks which would in turn become the famous automobile company. The construction of the railway to Waterloo station destroyed many of Vauxhallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streets and lead to the closing of Vauxhall Pleasure Garden in 1840.

It is widely considered that Vauxhall was a victim of poor urban planning during the Industrial revolution and suffered greatly from German bombers in the Second World War leading the area to go through several urban redevelopment schemes in the past. It is currently one of the most densely populated areas of not only London but the whole of the UK.

I plan to introduce the Vauxhall Pleasure Garden regeneration as part of this scheme. Arguing that the area is in need of more green public spaces since we can see that there are only 2 ‘Green spaces’ planned out of the total of 16 mapped developments.

1.4 EXAMINING THE IMMEDIATE CONTEXT 1 Site analysis was conducted to gasp the physical nature of the park in its current state through OS and satellite information. Using the topographical information, it was possible to 3d model the site which revealed a very slight slope to the north of the site but at 1:1000 it was negligible as demonstrated by the sections produced. The park is surrounded is framed by train tracks to the west and a combination of retail and residential to its north and south and the Vauxhall City Farm to its east. A more detailed analysis will be conducted as to the functions of surrounding built environment but in this section, a massing was conducted to determine the heights and general volume of the context.

1.4 EXAMINING THE IMMEDIATE CONTEXT The immediate context was examined to see the facilities currently offered to the public around the area. This has already informed the human context as explored in the previous slide. It also goes into depth the proximity and locations of relevant buildings when seen in tandem to the site model.

The Topsy Turvy tomato holders will be a permanent fixture of the botanic laboratory. A pot will be assigned to a student to look after. Tomatoes

The main produce of the laboratory is the humble courgette. Courgettes and tomatoes have a similar harvest time and therefore can be sold simultaneously in the harvest market.

USER KEY:

1.5 HUMAN CONTEXT- USERS OF THE PLEASURE GARDEN The regeneration of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens will target three distinct audiences that will have separate demands from the site. It is hoped these groups could learn and support each other to improve their knowledge and understanding of the natural environment through the plant growing process which it seeks to express and engage in.

THE EMERGING PUBLIC

In the spirit of the Unit Agenda, the primary objective of the regeneration of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens is to ‘Empower the Legacy of Generation Z’. As with the Botanic Laboratory that the Pleasure Garden incorporates, The Pleasure Garden will seek to engage them to improve their knowledge of nature through the demonstration and expression of the plant growing process.

The allotment community was an important support network for the Botanic Laboratory and certainly they will play a major part in the regeneration of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. In addition to the expertise of the Allotment community, there is the Vauxhall City Farm that already partially occupies the current site as paddocks for their animals.

The urban development plans for Vauxhall through the Nine Elms scheme as shown in the previous page has its focus mainly on commerical and residential projects. There is a need to maintain Vauxhall Pleasure Garden as a green space to offset growing urban density. To address the emerging public, the Pleasure Gardens will also be able to act as a public venue capable of handling large scale public events.

The idea is to use the City Farm in order to support the Allotment community. This could be done through the exchange of resources. The City Farm could provide the manure and other waste products that could be prime material for compost and the allotment community could use the compost to for produce that can be used to support the animals. It is the intent of the program to designate a portion of the site for production of plants.

SOIL CONDITIONS OF THE PARK

COMPOSTING POSSIBILITIES

It was possible to take some soil samples from the site to physically analyse them for nutrients that will be beneficial for growing plants. The results suggest that it could be indeed used for growing plants, meaning there is no need to import soil for planting.

The slight variation nutrient quality could be due to the proximity to the paddocks on site 3. It may be possible to use the waste from the paddocks and from the city farm in general to make organic compost to aid the growth of the rose produce within the pleasure gardens.

1.11 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS SUMMARY The environmental data from the site can be applied to set the project some objectives. Here is a breakdown of the environmental considerations and the environmental targets the Pleasure Garden should achieve:

NOISE POLLUTION

RAINFALL

The noise levels from the railway adjacent to the site is what eventually killed the Vauxhall Pleasure Garden in the past. Through DEFRA noise mapping, it can be seen that it still produces a significant level.

Rainfall is a major environmental concern for the site. The rain should be collected to a certain extent to grow the plants in the gardens. Average annual rainfall is 1091mm (per sq metre) Wet in Winter with unpredictable rainfall in summer and autumn.

Noise pollution should be reduced by at least 5dB from the railway station

PLANT GROWING POTENTIAL OF THE GROUND The ground analysis has enabled me to identify plants that could be grown within the site without greenhouse conditions.

PREVAILING WIND

Composting is possible with the help from the Vauxhall City Farm. This will be exploited.

The wind will pose some issues for the large structures within the park. To calculate the wind load applied, I will take the following into account: Average wind speed of 10 kts (knots) or 11.5 mph (miles per hour) Prevailing wind direction is South Westerly

SUNLIGHT AND TEMPERATURE Sunlight and temperature in London goes through noticable differences throughout the year. It therefore is necessary for spaces in the park to adapt to these changes. Perhaps store energy from times of long days and high temperatures of the summer and using them in the winter:

BUILDING FORM AND SYSTEMS 1.12 PROGRAM ANALYSIS To regenerate Vauxhall Pleasure Garden for Generation Z, my proposal is an expansion to the children centric Botanical Laboratory explored in project 1 where the design intent was to bridge the disparity between Generation Zâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high concern for the natural environment and their lacking knowledge of nature by engaging them in the plant growing process in a playful way most conducive to their learning and engagement with nature; using exaggerations and mimicry of plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appearance and functions as examples of teaching techniques considered in the design process. Green and Events Space

The Original Vauxhall Pleasure Garden was a popular attraction for its greenery and as a venue capable of hosting a variety of festivals. It is the intent of the regeneration scheme to provide or retain a green public space with a series of deployable structures/ pavilions enabling it host outdoor public events, most notably a seasonal market where produce from the orchards, greenhouses and botanic laboratory could be sold to the public.

Sheltered Activity Zone

Production Zone

Plant production is not the only focus of the regeneration scheme. A park aimed at Generation Z, the Pleasure Garden will offer a sheltered activity zone that will provide a playground, sports facilities and cookery school cafe that can be enjoyed all year round not just when the plants need attention.

This plant growing aspect is continued into the Pleasure Garden where the scale is increased to provide a flower orchard and series of greenhouses. The proximity to Vauxhall City Farm is taken advantage of, where the farm would produce the raw materials for good organic compost while the Pleasure Garden would provide the produce for its animals.

1.14 DIVIDED RESPONSIBILITY

ACOUSTICS

The different part of the park have varying functions that will be addressed in this report. This diagram shows exactly what the each highlighted zone will be responsible for in terms of its functionality:

There is an issue with the noise from the Train Bridge to this side of the Pleasure Gardens. A dedicated â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; like structure will be erected to reduce the noise coming from the trainlines.

WASTE RECYCLAGE The production area will take the waste from the paddocks and public recyling area to convert it into compost to be used in its greenhouses and flower beds

STRUCTURAL STRATEGY The focus of the canopy is to come up with a strategy that will allow for a large span to be crossed without being adversely affected by wind.

MEP and Primary Focus The Botanical Laboratory is where the water collection system and solar gathering system is that distribute useful energy within the park. Its functionality will be covered more extensively compared to the other parts of the Pleasure Gardens.

1.15 ACOUSTIC STRATEGY A set of modular fan structures will be placed right up close to the railway line to defract as much of the noise vibrations from the trains as possible. Due to their large surface area, it could be suggested that the fan areas could be sold as advertising space much like a billboard to generate an income for the park.

Modular nature of the fans allows easy removal and replacement

Fan area being used as an advertising space to generate income for park

Sound Defection strategy: The build up of the fans will be explored to see what materials will be most effective at reducing noise into the park

1.17 STRUCTURAL STRATEGY CANOPY STRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT The Canopy that covers the sheltered activity zone was the main focus of discussion with the structural engineer. The concept was to have a large span, lightweight canopy with a minimal footprint:

Concept Sketch

55m

50m

The 4 stages to the right demonstrates the options explored in creating this canopy. It focused on a portal frame initially that developed into a tension baseds system with large grounded poles to brace the opposing ends of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;leafâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; structure with cables. This inital design approach has couple of major structural issues that was brought on by the engineer. Both issues being related to the wind conditions of the site.

- Excessive wind load will catch the canopy and it could potentially float away

- Tension system will be insufficient to hold the canopy in place. The foundations needed for the poles need to be much thicker and this still does little to help the canopy be stable in excessive wind load

Initial concept was first translated to a simple portal frame with a flat overhang canopy supported by secondary end poles

It was thought that by having a tension system with poles at the end, the number of columns could be reduced significantly

The issue! Wind Load on Canopy

The leaf canopy was given a 3D space allowing for rain run off. 2 structural beams was maintained to connect the leaves together to a single rigid structure

The supporting collumns are triangulated for strength and small pavillions are hung from the primary structural beams

STRUCTURAL ENGINEER’S NOTES AND COMPROMISE Footing experiment paper model 1

Footing experiment paper model 2

Footing experiment paper model 3

To deal with the wind, the structural engineer suggested changes to the following characteristics of the design: Footing and ‘continuous structure’ option

option

The poles needed for the tension structure needs to be much wider and buried deeper for it to be effective.

HEAV

By having a footing with a ‘heavy’ material like concrete and a ‘light’ frame such as aluminium like this will allow for greater stability. option

NEEDS SUPPORT

Model most like the option 2 diagram. However, with the model being entirely paper with no weighting towards the footing, it could not support itself. From this model, it was also evident that the footing footprint and overhang is an important part of finding the balance.

Footprint was widened and made heavier with creases to the central stem. Almost balance but still unbalanced.

SELF SUPPORTING support needed for more continuous shape to the ground

Made to self support by:

-Much denser base -Wider footprint -Fan shape with multiple creases to footing

TAKEN FORWARD

Structural integrity

Using the infomation from the footing experiment, I made a series of brass models with the same hexagonal canopy area to determine which solution would require the LEAST amount of weight on its footing for the structure to balance.

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PACKAGES The Pleasure Garden consists of many different components that have specialized functions depending on its zoning. To ensure less confusion as to what elements of the design the report is referring to, the building construction has been divided into 3 distinct packages:

PACKAGE 1 Leaf Canopy Activity Zone Focuses on structural integrity of the canopy structure and goes into the small detail level for the joints and connections

PACKAGE 2 Botanical Laboratory The modular nature of this area means that each component will be resolved in detail with a focus on the relationship they have with each other

PACKAGE 3 Production and Green Zone Modular Structures The small pavillions and greenhouse modules seek to use the environment in some way and reacts to the seasons or weather, this package will focuse on these seasonally changing spaces

A2.2 CANOPY STRUCTURE AND CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE The complete canopy is composed of 3 different sizes of the leaf structures. The sizes of the foundation for each is dependant on the size of the overhang. There is a a structural brace that holds the whole structure together just underneath the ETFE and GRP layers:

3.1 ACOUSTIC FAN NOISE REDUCTION STRATEGY The Acoustic Fans primary function is to reduce noise from the train line. This is achieved by having large noise cancelling structures that are closest to the source of the noise.

Acoustic fan acoustic deflection

KEY: Noise from trains Deflected noise waves

LOCATION MAP

Waves that has made it through the fans

Key precedent: London 2012 Olympic Stadium The London 2012 Olympic Stadium employed a acoustic system in its roofing structure designed to reduce the amount of noise distributed into the neighbouring areas of the site. It uses a taut PTFE fabric layer to deflect alot of the noise then uses foam to absorb the undeflected sound waves. This system is layered 3 times to reduce the amount of sound coming through the stadium. The acoustic fans will employ a similar structure in its fan units to reduce the amount of noise coming from the tube lines.

102

ACOUSTIC FAN NOISE REDUCTION STRATEGY The make up of the fan component is what reduces the noise travelling across to the Pleasure Gardens. Using a similar fabric based make up to the London Olympic Stadiumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modular system, the diagram below shows how this is achieved:

Section showing Acoustic fan in use

Acoustic Fan build up and function 2

Reverberation

noise from tube station

ut m PVC em br fab an ri e c A co us tic fo am A lu m fra in m ium e

Reverberation

Noise from railway station hits the taut PVC fabric membrane. Some noise is bounced back to the station as reverberation.

The noise that goes through the PVC membrane then enters an air gap that diffuses the sound further

Acoustic foam absorbs a large chuck of the noise vibration due to its soft spongy nature but noise still gets through the foam

Another air gap that acts the same as stage 2

Remaining noise goes to park- If successful, this system would be able to reach the STC rating of about 60 much like the fabric system employed in the London 2012 Olympic statium, meeting the 5dB noise reduction target.

3.2 CANOPY STRUCTURAL STRATEGY FOR WIND

Pad foundation to distribute forces from the portal frames much more evenly as compared to pile foundations

The leaf canopy area suffers from the stress from the wind due to is large surface area, This page describes how sturdyness is achieved for structural integrity

Leaf canopy is made of 6 module portal frames joined by a structural brace running through them for structural coherency

LOCATION MAP

Lightweight PTFE fabric is used for the roofing while foundation and stem area uses heavier materials for ensure mimimal moment forces

Cross braced aluminium frame that supports ETFE cells while also providing much needed structural integrity to canopy

Load is not on the foundations alone, the kitchen modules are connected to the canopy to distribute weight more evenly

Methods of funding after Inital funds by Government: 4.2 FUNDING Due to the ‘Growing’ nature of the Production area and the Botanical Laboratory of the Pleasure Garden, It is necessary to consider how the gardens will fund its development. As suggested by the Stakeholders diagram, it can be seen that the initial funds are given by the Government.

ADVERTISING FUNDS FROM ACOUSTIC FANS

BI ANNUAL MARKET TO SELL PRODUCE FROM THE GARDENS

The acoustic fans will provide a prime platform for advertising, acting as a billboard and generating a stready stream of income from advertising revenue. In order to determine the pricing, Billboard hire prices in Vauxhall was researched:

Two markets are planned each year to sell produce from the Botanical Laboratory and the production area: Summer market- 2 weeks of month of June Autumn harvest market- 2 weeks of month of September

Initial funding:

HARVEST MARKET The Botanic Laboratory changes to sell its harvest

GOVERNMENT LOAN The initial funds fot the Pleasure Gardens will be provided by the Government through the ‘Nine Elms On the South Bank’ development scheme. The scheme has given a £1bn loan for this scheme and this project is asking for £15 million for its initial start up. Its expansion will be funded by itself after this.

Current development scheme of Vauxhall as part of the Nine Elms development

Each fan has

The revenue from these markets will vary dramatically depending on the harvest yield of each season. As the rate of production increases over time, it can be assumed that the profitablility of these markets will increase incrementally over each season.

MINOR FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

Therefore, if all fans were rented out it could generate:

Profits can be made by: -selling excess compost -Running the Kitchen and Restaurant Area -Selling produce from the Herb Towers which grow all year around

£7200 PCM (£86400 per annum)

119

which will be compounded by 1.3% each year as the Botanical Labortatory and production area grows

Profits from these funds will be used for maintence of the Pleasure Garden rather than an expansion

4.3 IMPLEMENTED PROCUREMENT METHODS

Traditional Design Contract

When choosing a procurement route for a building, it is necessary to consider the following key criterias in the point of view of the client:

Design-Build Contract Cost

Cost Times: economy and certainty Cost: economy of certainty Quality: in design and construction Size/Value: Scale of the project in relation to its cost Complexity: In terms of number of consultants and contractors involved Time

Control: Apportion of risk

Time

Quality

Client

Client There are many types of procurement systems, the principle ones being: -Traditional -Project Management -Design and Build -Management contracting -Construction management Of these routes, I have decided to employ 2 different types of procurement strategies due to: 1. 2. 3.

Difference in time scale of construction Usage and responsibility of the client Difference in the generation of funding

Quantity Surveyor

While the Green Spaces and Leaf Canopy area needs to be erected more quickly to start generating profits to fund the expansion of the Botanical Laboratory and Production zone. It also should be noted that this zone does not take the Generation Z of the Primary School part of its consultation board so is much happier for the clients to hand over the project to the contractor without much reprecussions.

Between the Botanic Laboratory and Production area which will have the Generation Z of the Vauxhall Primary School as their main tenants; and the Green spaces and Leaf Canopy activity zone which targets Generation Z within the wider public as well as offering green spaces to the public in general. The diagrams on the right shows the benefits and disadvantages of the procurements routes I have decided to take with the 2 part of the Pleasure Gardens. In terms of the Botanical Laboratory and the production area, it is more important to be thorough in its quality that to be built quickly as these parts of the Pleasure Garden will be handled by children to a large extent and needs to be durable and last to generate profits from harvests.

Client has a major role, requiring certain quality standards to be shown or described. Contractor is wholly responsible for achieving the stated quality on site. Quality and cost is prioritised at the expense of Time.

120

Less flexibility for the client once contract is signed. Design and construction integrated into a single contractual agreement. Cost and time is prioritised.

REASONS FOR DIFFERENT PROCUREMENT METHODS

Leaf Canopy Activity Zone & Greenspace Zone

Botanical Laboratory

Production Zone

Areas open to public all year around with potential to generate profits through festival and advertising (via acoustic fans) that will fund the gradual expansion of the Production zone and Botanical Laboratory. It is therefore inperitive this area is complete on time and at a reasonable cost to recouperate its construction cost and start this function. This also means that in this case, it is more beneficial for the client to appoint the contractor as their main consultant as they are more able to drive costs of construction more so than the architect.

The slow nature of the expansion of the Botanic Laboratory relies on the funding of the Leaf Canopy Activity Zone and its own produce it can sell. This slow expansion means that the architect needs to remain a critical part of the team to oversee its â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;growingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; process more so than the appointed contractors.

The Production Zone follows the same logic as the Botanical Laboratory as to why it needs to remain in a Traditional procurement route. Although, in the case of its expansion of greenhouse units, it is much more short term to reaching its completion.

4.7 KEY ROLES AND RELATIONSHIPS DURING CONSTRUCTION

CLIENT

This diagram show the key relationships between the different parties involved in the construction of the Pleasure Gardens: Key: Hired by

Since the regeneration of Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens is funded mainly through the Nine Elms on the South Bank redevelopment scheme, alongside the backing of the Department for Education, The Park would be technically considered to be government property, much like how much of the parks are in London. However, it will be the principal and the Board of Directors of Vauxhall Primary School acting on behalf of its Generation Z pupils that will act as the main liasion for the architect and contractors. Ultimately it is the Vauxhall Primary School that is the most important client.

Feedback Consultant Switch

consultant switch ARCHITECT All drawings produced by the appointed architecture firm must be signed off by a RIBA part 3 certified professional, especially when it comes to drawings going for tender. This role is key especially in the areas of the park under the Design and Build Procurement contracts. Other main roles include:

MAIN CONTRACTOR The main contractor is responsible for the construction of the project. They are responsible for hiring sub contractors and suppiers to realize the information given to them by the Client through the architect. In terns of this project, the main contractor will be hired by the Mayor of London who heads the Nine Elms on the South Bank redevelopment scheme.

- Creating a Design at the concept stage that meets the requirements of the client and privide a facility suitable for the required use. SUB CONTRACTORS ON SITE

SUB CONTRACTORS OFF SITE (FOR PRE FABRICATED PARTS)

-To act a the coordinator integrating the work of designers and specialists into the overall scheme.

The sub contractor is appointed by the main contractor and are responsible for different areas of the park and its structures. The main sub contractors on site are:

An offsite team will be established that are responsible for the prefabricated aspects of the park. They will be based in Newpoint Industrial estate where materials and completed parts can be easily transported in and out.

(The last role is relieved after the consultant switch in the Design and Build part of the park)

-Concrete contractor: For the pad and pile foundations required on site

(see Contractual Relationship Between client, architect and contractor)

-Metalworking contractor: Responsible for erection of the main steel and aluminium frame of the Leaf canopy activity zone

-To understand and design in line with the building regulations that apply to the site and project.

These contractors will need to be highly skilled workers that will need a variety of skills not limited to one field like the sub contractors on site.

- Roofing contractor: Responsible for PTFE and ETFE roofing system on the steel and aluminium frames. CONSULTANTS

It is imperitive that these contractors communicate with the main contractor AND the architect in creating the pre fabricated elements and organising the installation onsite

-Timber contractor: For panelling and laminate coverings The client appoints consultants to advice them of design requirements and costing of the project. The Client is responsible to ensure that the consultants and the architects work together. The employed consultants for this project will be:

SUPPLIERS

-Structural engineers -Environmental engineers -M&E Engineers -Acoustic Engineers -CDM co-ordinators

The materials sourced page shows all the main suppliers required for the project. These suppliers where chosen for their proximity to site. It should be noted that suppliers are often also hired as sub contractors. It will be the role of the main contractor to organise the suppliers to go onsite or to the off site industrial park for pre fabrication

4.8 RISK MANAGEMENT AND HEALTH AND SAFETY Below is the risk assessement form for the construction of the Vauxhall Pleasure Garden:

SITE RISK

Harzard

Person at risk

Risk mitigation

Site is located next to an active train bridge and Vauxhall City farm

Contractors

The unpredictability of animals and the busy transport link of Vauxhall station can be dealt with by maintaining a secure fenced site boundary. Manage out of working hours as necessary Maintain close communication with Architect team, Client and Contractor in delivery of materials and pre frabricated modules on site for good planning. Necessary to keep TfL and Farmers of Vauxhall City Farm informed.

Site conditions

Contractors

-Soil

-Excavated soil during construction is recycled into landscaped parts of the park. Excavated soil must be zoned appropriately so not to distrupt other construction around the park.

-Weather (mainly wind and rain)

-There are many parts of the Vuaxhall Pleasure Garden that react to the weather. It is necessary for:

Acoustic Fan Rain collection cones PTFE, ETFE roofing

(Green Zone) (Botanic Laboratory) (Leaf Canopy Activity Zone)

To be installed on days where wind would not pose a problem to their installation Installation dates of these components must be flexible

CONSTRUCTION RISK

Site access

All persons on site Distruption to public

Site access must be strictly controlled during the construction of The Green Zone and Leaf Canopy Activity Zone. Access Points during construction must be planned by contractors to minimize distruption to public.

Injury from falling objects

All persons on site

Hard hats and high visibility jacket to be worn at all times on site by contractors to protect themselves and be seen easily to avoid negligence. Net to be erected during installation of fabric on Leaf canopy activity zone

Equipment failure

Contractors

-All equipment should be inspected to ensure it is safe and fit for purpose -Contractor should employ equipment inspector for regular maintenance checks which should be recorded

Injury from scaffolding

Contractors

-All scaffolding should be checked for structural integrity (rust and breakages) -Erection of scaffolding must be done with trained workers with the appropriate PPE and tools

Working at height

Contractors

-Maintain safe leading edge and access, and safe working platform when erecting scaffolding -PPE must be worn at all times when working at height

126

CONSTRUCTION RISK

Harzard

Person at risk

Risk mitigation

Excavation

Contractors

Excavated soil must be zoned appropriately so not to distrupt other construction around the park. Compacting Earth for foundation preparation will require appropriately trainined workers with PPE.

Steel and aluminium frame installation for Leaf Canopy activity zone

Contractors

Appropriately trained workers with PPE to install structural frame with heavy duty equipment. Contractor responsible for installation.

10.

Installation of modules manufactured off site

Contractors

The creation of modules off site does not effect health and safety during construction. However, their installation, although straightforward, would need workers with PPE and specialized mechanical tools. Sporadic installation of modules would mean that site would need to be closed off to public during these times.

MAINTENANCE RISK

11.

Movement of Modular components for Harvest markets

Generation Z children from Vauxhall Primary School

During the harvest market, the children from the Vauxhall Primary School are expected to move the Topsy Turvy tomato planters in the botanic laboratory. Although, the units are designed to be handled by children, they need to be supervised by teachers who will need training to understand the units.

12.

Manure to compost making system through smart compost bins

Greenhouse maintenance staff

The compost bins need to be moved on a regular basis and filled with recycable waste. To mitigate risk of misuse, The compost bins will be locked when outside the production zone. It will be the responsibility of the Greenhouse maintenance staff to ensure compost is not mishandled.

13.

Maintenance of roof fabric of Leaf canopy

Bi annual Hired roof cleaners

The PTFE and ETFE roofing of the Leaf canopy need to be maintained, at least inspected on a biannual basis. It is imperitive they where the appropriate PPE and harness themselves to the steel frame as necessary to ensure safety.

14.

Falling from height

All people on site

Hand rails are installed in all areas above 1.5m ground level.

15.

Risk from M&E systems

All people on site

Maintenance of MEP will be carried out by certified professional who will be hired by the Head teacher of the Vauxhall Primary School on a biannual or annual basis to ensure the well running of the Pleasure Garden.
