The core drivers for this project bring back together different potential uses of water in the benefit of the client, the MMU Faculty of Health & Education. The initial ideas explored in Studio 3.1 were furthered developed in reaching the final design proposal in accordance with the atelier theme of net zero carbon strategies.

CATALYSTS 1. Lack of hydrotherapy facilities within the physiotherapy department 2. Client’s suggestion that new study and recreation areas would be required for students 3. Proximity of secondary school implies a possible engagement with local community as part of the programme 4. Overall rainy weather specific to the city of Manchester

CONCLUSIONS This project shall consist of a building split into three areas: - Northern Area destined for recreation and study space, as well as a small cafe - Central Area destined for a SPA centre which gives a new opportunity for the local community - Southern Area destined for an Aquatic Centre where students from the adjacent school can take part in swimming classes, as well as a hydrotherapy room, where physiotherapy students can practice on real patients.

These main cores of the building will eventually be connected through several green spaces which offer outdoor recreation spaces

The SPA area will implement an appropriate use of darkness in order to create a ‘zen’ atmosphere. Across the corridors as well as around the pools, small sources of soft light will be placed just so they can distinguish the walls from the floor. The whole SPA area will come in huge contrast with the other areas through its abundance of darkness and the use of dark themed materials, unlike the lighter and warmer timber textures found across the rest of the building.

The Aquatics Centre area consists of a main pool of standard olympic pool sizes, and a smaller one destined for little children. The spaces brings an ergonomic use of the timber structure, as between every two columns, a bench will be fixed on which people can place their belongings such as towels, slippers, in order to maximise the use of space. Also, the space will benefit from natural light and clear visual connection to the surrounding context.

Apart from the SPA area that requires a concrete structure to cope with the high levels of moisture, the main structural material across the rest of the building will be timber. This material has be chosen not only due to its resistance over time. but also because of its psychological impact, as its warm and light texture improves the mental health of the building’s occupants.

On the superior levels, there will be several terraces (exterior) and courtyards (interior). The main idea is to offer the opportunity of switching between indoor and outdoor social spaces. The presence of these green ‘oases’ can have a significant impact upon mental health as well, and help reduce the carbon impact brought by nearby traffic.

site & urban context site analysis Residential

The building’s placement on site is shaped by multiple parameters: - sun path - daylighting analysis - wind direction - views - air pollution - circulation around the site

Educational

The building’s design and programme development is shaped by other contextual elements: - programme of surrounding buildings - views - air pollution - circulation - daylighting - rainy weather

CONCLUSIONS The building responds to its context: - the geometry is shaped by sun trajectory - shelters people from rain even outside - geometry frames the user’s views towards each cardinal point

daylighting lights & shadows

noon The sun path plays an important role in the design of glazed parts of the facades, as it indicates which sides are eager to receive more natural light.

Therefore, in order to take advantage of the sunlight during the afternoon, the West facade of the Aquatic Centre is going to be fully glazed, as well as the West facade of the social area, located towards the NW corner of the building.

The glass roof located on top of the terraces from NW are not necessarily designed according to the sun path, but for protecting from rainwater, while keeping transparency.

thermal comfort heating & cooling

Since the building consists of a swimming pool area and a SPA area, the envelope around these spaces must be well insulated (triple glazing) so it can be efficient in Manchester’s ciimate. No matter the season, the temperature inside these two main areas need to be constant and the walls need to keep the humidity inside without letting external factors interfere.

3.

While the envelpe surrounding the SPA is a solid wall with concrete structure and stone cladding, the focus shifts on the Aquatic Centre, where the walls on the ground floor and the second floor consist of triple glazed panels (keeping the temperature and humidity constant) while on the first floor they consist of solid timber walls.

4.

Additionally, in order to hide the mechanism of water collection, the upper two levels will be covered by a curved green wall attached to a metal frame keeping the substrate.

The rainwater will eventually flow like a waterfall through the green wall straight into the water trench surrounding the pool area. The green wall would also help adjusting the sunlight control around the pathway on the second floor frequented by the building’s occupants.

CONCLUSIONS - first layer of triple glazed or timber wall (thermal comfort) - second layer of green wall (light and water control) - third layer of waterfall (aesthetic and functional)

rainwater reuse & filtration water circularity

The rainwater collection and filtration process occurs on two opposite sides of the building. On the North-West side, the water falls onto pitched glass roofs. Between the second and first floor, the glass panels are interrupted, as the water falls freely as a waterfall, same process happening at the transition between the first and the ground floor. Eventually, the water is collected into trenches surrounding the North and West sides of the building. From there, through the drainage system, the pipes take the water to the technical room located in the basement. The rainwater is filtered and mixed with chlorine, then redistributed across the building: Aquatic Centre pools, SPA Centre pools and thermal baths, Hydrotherapy Room.

On the other side, the roof above the main pool has two narrow spaces which allow the rainwater to fall under a waterfall effect onto a rectangular water trench attach to the balustrade surrounding the gap above the pool. In order to not affect the thermal comfort, the narrow strips inside the roof will be operated mechanically when needed as they also contain an initial water filter so there is no black water visible to the human eye.

Underneath the balustrade, the pipeline system will take the water all the way to technical room, where it will be filtered once more.

CONCLUSIONS - water collection, filtration and reusage is a key concept on the sustainability aspect of the building - the waterfalls generated on the inside and the outside provide aesthetical experience - the building takes full advantage of the site’s typical climate characterised by frequent rainfalls.

vegetation & landscaping nature friendly

Why green spaces?

Since the project is also addressing mental health apart from wellbeing, green spaces are necessary for the building’s users. The landscaping is designed so that the building appears to have an external layer (marginal terraces) and a central core (interior courtyards) of greenery.

Main role of the green spaces relies on diminishing the carbon emissions generated by the nearby traffic through several kinds of trees that can be planted on green roofs, and climbing plants on pergolas.

Improving mental health and wellbeing of building’s occupants represents a secondary role of the outdoor spaces, as they offer new opportunities of social and recreational spaces.

solar energy alternative energy

Why solar panels?

Since a significant part of the elevations consists of glazed panels, the demands for energy for keeping the interior space warm are going to be high.

In order to reduce anticipated high costs, photovoltaic panels are going to be attached on top on the roof above the aquatic centre as parts of this roof are slightly pitched so that the panels can face South.

Thus, the amount of money saved from electricity can be used for the long term maintenance of the building.

Green Roof + Timber + Glass + Water

materiality & textures

On the terraces, the combination between timber, glass and vegetation is omnipresent. The glass panels covering the terraces in some areas are essential for the user’s experience, because they protect from rainfalls (when rainy) and adjust sun glare (when sunny). During intense rainfall, people will find themselves walking outside underneath a layer of water which would create a sensation of being inside a waterfall.

Green Wall + Glass + Timber

Green Roof + Timber + Glass

On the South side, the facade of the Aquatic Centre is represented by a visible timber structure embodying the triple glazed panels, and supporting a green wall covering the upper levels. While the glass has the role of transparency and connection with the exterior, the green wall has small gaps on the second level in order to control the sun light.

The green wall also has a role in partially hiding the water falling from the pitched roof into the collection trenches.

The exterior inner core is going to bring back together textures depicting the natural elements: the green roof for the courtyard, timber cladding walls and timber exterior staircase, climbing plants on pergolas. These inner outdoor spaces are meant to reassamble a mini-park for recreation purposes; additional benches and tables are going to be placed here as well.

Timber + Glass

Concrete + Stone + Tiles

The main material used for interior spaces is timber due to its appealing to people’s mental health through its warm and light texture varieties. Also, its durability makes it more convenient in terms of maintenance.

The SPA area comes in contrast with the rest of the building through the presence of dark-themed materials. Even the regular timber structure is replaced by the concrete one in order to cope with the high levels of humidity produced by the thermal baths. The ground is going to be paved with dark tiles while the walls are going to have a dark stone ladding to create an harmonious and even ‘misterious’ atmosphere.

operational energy use zero carbon futures

Parameter Values Glass U-value = 1.99 W/m2K Floor U-value = 0.35 W/m2K Roof U-value = 0.18 W/m2K Wall U-value = 0.59 W/m2K Performance Results Energy Use Intensity Value (kWh/m2/year): Target = 113 Actual = 111 Energy Load (kWh/year): Lighting = 277296 Heating = 216640 Cooling = 59507 Daylighting (%) Under lit = 48 Well lit = 30 Over lit = 22

Using Sefaira, several iterations were conducted in order to reach an ideal operational energy use for meeting zero carbon futures theme of the project. Due to the geometry of the building, it surprisingly turns out to be mostly underlit, perhaps due to the isolation of the SPA area from direct sunlight.

The first two iterations revolved around adjustments of the U-value for glazed facades, floor slabs and walls in order to reach an intensity of energy use well below the target (111 and 101, respectively compared to 113 kWh/m2/year).

However, the last iteration also took into account the improved performance of the equipment as well as the better lighting and glare control which lead to much lower value (49 kWh/m2/year), while the building being heating dominated compared to equipment dominated as in the previous iterations.

Ground Floor

Parameter Values Glass U-value = 0.1 W/m2K Floor U-value = 0.1 W/m2K Roof U-value = 0.18 W/m2K Wall U-value = 0.4W/m2K Performance Results Energy Use Intensity Value (kWh/m2/year): Target = 113 Actual = 101 Energy Load (kWh/year): Lighting = 277296 Heating = 216640 Cooling = 59507 Daylighting (%) Under lit = 48 Well lit = 30 Over lit = 22

CONCLUSIONS

Parameter Values

- triple glazed window panels (mostly around main pool area in the Aquatic Centre) - well insulated floors and walls - performant windows adjusting the sun glare - equipment required for keeping the interior environment warm.

community & public spaces It is important that the building enhances its surrounding communities, adding to the public realm and facilities. Therefore, multiple public spaces which would be accessible for everyone have been included. These include planted areas and focus more on the user experience.

Exposed public spaces (external) - terraces - ground floor public park - vegetation

Hidden public spaces (internal) - interior courtyards - terrace covered by pergolas

CONCLUSIONS - the enhancements to the public realm are essential to the building’s integration within its environment - the building’s light installation combines with the mixed-use public spaces allow the building to become a local meeting place and an engaging location
