FINAL PROPOSAL

MANIFESTO: CONNECTING PEOPLE THROUGH FOOD The tension between an immigrant and a native resident is continuously fuelled by political agendas and globalisation aids in the delivery deepening hate and distrust.

Native residents feel displaced, replaced by migrant residents. Residents who have immigrated into the community are alienated risking loneliness and isolation. Both fear, and yet are unable to console one another for fear of betraying their cultures.

However, coming together in a non-denominational space may be the beginning of rebuilding lost trust and learning the hardships of the other. This project aims to reconnect people using commonalities in culinary interest where food will bring them together. The community will grow, harvest and eat together, increasing the appreciation of another and appreciating where their food comes from and what happens to it when it is not consumed. The project aims to challenge the amount of food waste produced through education and hands experience for residents where they can grow their own food. It will be a place where the marginalised in the communities come together in an open space that provides learning opportunities and creative freedom in growing, cooking and eating.

PS PROJECT INTRODUCTION

ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY

RETROFIT OLD BUILDINGS

The built environment is one of the biggest contributers to carbon emmissions and as space begins to run out, the future is retrofit. By using old buildings the strain on building resources and pollution could become considerably lower. The project will take an inventory of building materials available and the possible uses as well as being considerate when allocating new building materials.

PS ES - APPROVED DOCUMENT L

RE-USE BUILDING MATERIALS

Re-using building materials will create a bespoke approach to architecture and hold the project accountable of the materials being used. Though old materials may not meet current building regulations, new uses can be assigned to them before being disregarded as waste.

CREATE ENERGY FROM ORGANIC WASTE

As the project aims to connect people through food, it will also address the waste management and reuse food and other biodegradable material to power the site and the community. Weening off the grid is a small step toward a circular economy.

OF PLASTIC PACKAGING IS USED TO MAKE PET BOTTLES

The chosen material is a Volvic plastic bottle found on the Burgoyne Chemical works site. The bottle belongs to the polyetheylene terephthalate (PET/ PETE) family which is the most common plastic for single use botlles as it is easy to mould once heated, light weight and cheap.

In imagining what the material could be used for in situ the initial proposal could be a vapour barrier due to its insoluble properties.

However, plastic can be used in other parts of the building such as; windows, doors, insulation and iterally in furniture.

EMBODIED ENERGY The embodied energy of the plastic bottle is the amount of energy that goes into it before purchase. Understanding that before it arrives at the store it has gone through a high carbon process.

This has influenced how the project will be approached where the plastic bottle will undergo tests to determine a suitable way of re using plastic that does not cost the environement.

MATERIAL TESTING .A) Using a bottle with similar properties to dertermine the effect of heating a bottle filled with plastic bags. The bottle was not dense with several airpockects.

B) After placing in the oven for 13 minutes at 250°c the plastic had denatured into a hard mass. During this test there was a lot of toxic smoke and the end product was unusable.

C) The second attempt of transforming the plastic was to iron at 230°c for 3 minutes.

D) The Ironing process managed to combine the soft plastics including my PET material, however it was still difficult to use and mould.

E) Combining the original plastic bottle (Polyethylene terephthalate) and pieces of other hard (high density polyethelene) plastics. The test was to see if it was possible to mould different grades of plastic into a malible material with potential to become tiles.

EVALUATION Through heating and testing the plastic it has been clear that in creating a new form the plastic would have to be heated.

This would mean adding more CO2 into the atmosphere which doesn’t help with current climate issues. The next challenge will be to create something that would last but not contribute to the global plastic crisis.

ECO BRICK POTENTIAL A) 1:1 model of potential ecobrick wall demonstrating the way the plastic in the bottles can be pre selected to create patternation in the wall . This would reduce the crude appearance of the bottles and would then not require additional paint work.

B) 1:5 eco brick wall axonometric. Packed densly, the bottles would only require secure enclosures to reduce risk of buckling and can act as a structural element. As plastic has a high level of thermal conductivity it can also act as an insulator. In this way the stored plastic as a buffer between internal and external building elements. This way of ‘storing’ single use plastic can be repeated at the end of the building/ structure’s life and re used as the plastic takes thousands of years to break down and many types of plastic do not break down at all.

The future of the eco brick is explored further in the index [ ]

ECO BRICK POTENTIAL The eco brick can be used in the community on small local projects such as green houses and shelters. These projects could help to activate those who are economically and socially inactive, gaining skills such as team working and organisation. This could also help with some of the individuals who are loney due to older chldren moving out etc and conecting them with people who are similar to them and an opportunity to make ew friends. The community project would mean the local environment is cleaner and less plastic waste is distributed to the landfill sites.

MEANWHILE IN: BRUSSELS What is meanwhile?

Temperance, measure of time, a space or place that will not exist in the future. A place that can be packed up and moved away as the environemnt dictates . Meanwhile is a reminder of the sensitive line between here and now.

While on the study trip we visited a community centre for refugees that sat opposite luxury apartments and stood out in context because of it temporary appearance though the building had been in place for a while.

The short project was to design using the building as a frame for something new and begin to understand what it is to build a temporary space in a stationary place all the meanwhile addressing the overarching challenge of climate change which the unit further researches.

HISTORICAL MAPS East Ham was an agricultural marshland prior to the 19th century. It had a lot of woodland and would be used for farming and grazing, this meant that biologically it was thriving.

During the industrial period however, there were many factories and warehouses producing a lot of pollution and wasn’t just from East Ham but the rest of the borough. The main housing during this period would be for employees of the factories and their families as well as those working by the docks. For a long time, it was a dumping site until the 2012 London Olympics which saw much of Newham get a face lift.

There have been peaks and drops in population and the demographic changes, in part were due to the wind rush which saw a large number of Caribbean people enter. Compared to the 19th century East Ham has become a lot more diverse in population however most of the population are working class and there isn’t a great mix between the social class.

Where it is thriving the most however is in the mix of religions and culture where only 2.70% are non blievers and the rest are an eclectic mix of Christian, Muslim and a variety of other religions and beliefs. This relious mix compared to the 19th century shows how East Ham is no longer just Christian but open to other beliefs.

The context of the site is mainly 2 storey residetial homes with the excepion of the blocks of flats to the east of the site. tese flats cast a soft shadow that doesn’t infiltrate the site completely. thus the sit can have ample amounts of sun light durig the day as well as day light from the norh as there aren’t many restrictions. The site faces potential wind from the SouthWest, this would mean any smells coming from the residencies could waft into the building. It also means that anythig that comes out of the building will also travel north east to the neighbourig houses.

London is a Cfb climat meaning its main climate is warm temperate, the precipitation is fully humid and the temperature is warm in the summer. In comparison the desert climate would be classied as BWh as there is an excess of evaporation and precipitation.

TYPES OF SHADE

As the sun is low in December it means that most of the site will be in shadow in already cold weather. The scheme could address this by maximising the thermal qualities of the context. A lot of the winter shadow is from the row of housing at the south of the site. This part could be more open to allow for light to enter the building during the cold months.

Partial or semi-shade: Three to six hours per day of direct sunlight where the site is half in shade and half in sunlight.

Full sun: More than six hours of direct sunlight per day.

Light shade: The site is open to the sky but obstructed from direct sunlight by trees for example.

two or three hours of direct sunlight each day.

Where midday sun supplies more light than other times of the day.

Deep or heavy shade: Usually under dense tree cover, e.g. beech, conifer hedges or overgrown shrubberies, and also overhanging buildings. In practical terms if a site receives less than two hours of direct sun per day, it must be considered to be heavy shade.*

Dappled shade: Reflected or diffused sunlight, where the sun may peak through breaks in tree canopies for example.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

RADIATION ROSE

As the site is located in London, the summer months are between June and September. As shown in the chart to the left this is when the temperature is at its highest and the levels of UV radiation from the sun increase. This would mean that the site would need to accommodate for the low winter sun as well as the high summer sun through adequate shading of the surrounding open spaces as well as making the most of the windows in the building and around the building as windows from the nearby flats and houses may reflect back into parts of the building. The radiation rose also shows that most of the radiation is from the south and thus any opening facing south of the site will be exposed to the sun. The scheme couldmake us of the north’s natural daylight as well as low UV levels. The temperature chart also indicates the colder months of the year where people are less likely to be outdoors and would need high levels of thermal comfort

Burgoyne Chemical works x East Ham fire station

The Burgoyne Chemical works were one of may industries in Eastham creating jobs for the local community and distributing to the rest of not only London, but the wider context. As industries were closing down part of the site was redeveloped for residential use and the remaining buildings were split into the East Ham fire station and an abandoned building which since its conception has yet to find a new prupose.

Before concrete was widely used the foundations were suspended to allow air through bottom which would have kept the timber joists from being exposed to too much moisture. The thicker the joists were the more expensive it would have been and thus in the moajority of buildings a sleeper wall was added to compensate as it was cheaper.

SITE DEMOLITION

For the scheme I have chosen to remove the fire station. The removal of the fire station would allow for a more open space depending on the orientation of the new building. As the current fire station building doesnt fit with the Burgoyne chemical works building the new addition would either exploit the differences or match with the existing building. The building will be demolished and the materials that are reusable will be cleaned and stored ready for the new build.

CLEARING THE SITE - MATERIAL INVENTORY

ITEM IDENTIFICATION

The material inventory will take place during the design stages where the lient expresses their ambitions and the design team propose which elements of the building will and will not be demolished.

Doors

The table demonstrates the materials which are in the building and can be reused. I have identified the materials which will not be used in the building and thus can be re-sold or re-distributed. The quantity and mass of the materials are approximations where there may be less or more but this will serve as a guide line.

Iron beams and collumns

Timber joists and floor boards

In re-using the materials it will be better for the environment as less new materials are being created. Where new materials will be proposed in the scheme, they will be locally sourced and replace materials that are no longer viable. An example would be replacing windows that are notbig enough with larger windows for solar gain.

AFFECTED BY THE PROJECT FIRST

UNEMPLOYED RESIDENTS

Immigration and emigration - many residents in East Ham are from BAME backgrounds and are 1st or second generation immigrant, thus many have limited English language skills. There is also a discourse between the varying immigrants where a subtle divide can be seen where Highstreet North is mostly Asian and Black whereas Highstreet South has a majority of Europeans. - East Ham could benefit from a centre that encompasses these backgrouds and cultures.Being in a new country becomes more challenging when alone so this could be the ‘arrival hall’ of East Ham where individuals can speak to locals and others in the same situation Religion / faith centres - though there isn’t a lack in faith centres due to the diverse ethnic mix, it fuels a “us versus them” ideology and housing these thoughts in a single building could diffuse some tensions Unemployment- particularly high in women as out of the 57% who are economically inactive 6100 of those are women. The reasons vary from health to being caregivers for family.

Policy G8 Food growing

118. Planning policies and decisions should: a) encourage multiple benefits from both urban and rural land, including through mixed use schemes and taking opportunities to achieve net environmental gains – such as developments that would enable new habitat creation or improve public access to the countryside; b) recognise that some undeveloped land can perform many functions, such as for wildlife, recreation, flood risk mitigation, cooling/shading, carbon storage or food production;

8.8.1 Providing land for food growing helps to support the creation of a healthier food environment. At the local scale, it can help promote more active lifestyles and better diets, and improve food security.

Community food growing not only helps to improve social integration and community cohesion, but can also contribute to improved mental and physical health and wellbeing.

3.15 Particular issues relating to work in historic buildings that warrant sympathetic treatment and where advice from others could therefore be beneficial include: a. restoring the historic character of a building that has been subject to previous inappropriate alteration, e.g. replacement windows, doors and rooflights; c. making provision for the fabric of historic buildings to ‘breathe’ to control moisture and potential long term decay problems.

4.35 Noise from the ventilation system may also disturb people who are outside the building, so measures to minimise externally emitted noise should also be considered.

APPROVED DOCUMENT L - Conservation of fuel and power

3.3 The building fabric should be constructed so that there are no reasonably avoidable thermal bridges in the insulation layers caused by gaps within the various elements, at the joints betwen elements and at the edges of elements such as those around window and door openings.

It was designed by Tres Birds Architects who offered their full services as master planner, architect, and interior designer.

The project is an aeroponic greenhouse gently placed on top of a restaurant. The restaurant is run by Japanese chain Uchi, and the greenhouse is run by Altius Farms who serve the restaurant and the community.

Altius FArms is related to East to Eat in the way the approach to urban farming and how far the project could extend past the handover. It is a project designed and bult to occupy vertical space that may have become residential units to echo the context of the development. It’s conception was formed in reaction to Denver’s fast growing population and potential food poverty.

Initially serving the neighbouring businesses and local residents it has grown to serve wider than the local context. As vertical farming increases in popularity, more ground can be dedicated to ecology. Vertical farming also offers new opportunites to exisiting buildings with suitable roofs.

Tres Birds Workshop’s architectural approach was to design sustainably as the name of the development suggests and within the scheme they re used brick which mostly covers the restaurant and has been used for aesthetic rather than structural purposes.

SPACE - INITIAL PROPOSAL What? Social supermarket. A one stop “shop” to learn and grow. An orienation centre.

Who? Mainly the unemployed / immigrants Why? Unemployment is up which in the long term can lead to depression and anxiety. There are lonely jobless people wandering all over the city and this could be a place to make new friends and acquire new skills.Though there are religious places and community centres all over East Ham, many of them don’t open during the work week. This is a time when many are walking through aimlesssly looking for things to do and places to escape heir own minds.

Materiality and environment Reclaimed brick from the East Ham fire station - waste material. The brick would mirror the context of the Burgoyne site and residential context.

Timber - Can be formed into interesting shapes. It would also soften the brutalist feel of the brick and help absorb some the carbon created by the nearby A13.

“Open” - Relatioship with the residential and vehicular conext, available for all.

Spatial visuals A - Internal/ exterior relationship of the building’s space.

Example of the use of the space, bottle packing - where bottles collected by residnes are dropped off empty ready for packing to create eco-bricks.

B - Potential use of the botles as stairs/ flooring. Social area and what could be provided in the “Social supermarket” for example, knitting needles, books, laptops (clean laptops which could be donated by those who no longer need them).

The building will echo the borough’s indusrial past by fusig craftsmanship and the urgency to preserve what we have of the planet

LANDSCAPING

STRUCTURE

PRECEDENTS The displayed precedents are examples of how the internal space can be used for growing as well as the internal atmosphere. McGrath Road is an example of how arches can be used to connect spaces and difffer the visual language using materiality and space. UN17 Village is an example of how vertical space can be used to create an open growing community. Eurocucina is an example of food sharing where eating and growing are combined. In taking my project further I will be looking at how the growing spaces can work together with eating spaces. As I develop the spaces around the site I will be looking at how the spaces can be used to embrace the community as well.

BRIEF

Through the earlie research the project will focus on immigration, the role of the immigrant and what the future may be. The client for the project is the immigrant, whether Asian, European or African as East Ham has a wealth of all. The project is not exclusive to the residents but a way to show new comers of East Ham that they are welcome.

It is a place where they can meet the local residents and forge relationships. It is a place that pushes together the divide in ethnic groups and shows what can be achieved if migrants and locals work together.

INCLUSION

COHESION

Johnson said people from African countries could benefit from the still-to-be detailed changes to the immigration system after Brexit, which will end the free movement of people to and from EU nations.

Tragedy is inevitable if we fear migration rather than celebrate its benefits

ORIENTATION

SITE DESIGN INTENTIONS

OPENING THE SITE Removing part of the existing typology to allow for a more comunal space and landscaping opportunity. The site will become more inviting from the highstreet approach, offering views into the building.

CONNECT WITH THE CONTEXT

AWAKEN THE LANDSCAPE

By removing some of the exisiting buildings and fences the site willl be more accessible for local residents. Having more than one access route to encourage members of the public as well as the users.

Creating a vibrant approach into the site as well as internal green space and green access from Brooks Avenue at the south. The green spaces willalso help to soften the context of the building.

1 UTILISING ROOF SPACE AS A ROOF GARDEN

2 DOUBLE PITCHED ROOFS

3 DOUBLE FLAT ROOFS

4 CHAMFARED FLAT ROOF

SOLAR GAIN VARIATIONS The building was built in a period where large sheets of glass were difficult to use and thus the windows tend to be small and repetetive particularly at the back. In maximising the mroof as a green house, the building can be flooded with light which can then filtre through to the other floors.

SUNPATH

The roof development aims to increase biodiversity as in 1 the glass would create a glare and probably deter wildlife. Idea 2 explores glazing half of the roof and the other opening into a roof garden. Idea 3 and 4 explore using the roof soley for light and biodiversity as the roof on the old fire station will be human occupied.

ENVIRONMENTAL STRATEGY - MASSING

3 DOUBLE FLAT ROOFS

5 AND 6, HYBRID BETWEEN FLAT BROWN ROOF AND PITCHED GLAZED ROOF

I would like the final roof to be a combination of variations 3 and 4 where there is a balance between the glazed surface area and the brown roof. The con of variation 3 is that it is too flat and would need to angled for appropriate drainage during rain fall. The con of 4 is that the east of the building could end up feeling cold and being too dark in places.

Varitions 5 and 6 attempt to come up with a solution for distributing light and green space. The roof would need to be thicker and the walls may need extra support thought the structure of the roof itself will be light. What is missing in this development is the finesse of the scale of the pitches as I do not want the building to look heavy visually from street level.

HABITATION OF THE ROOFS

Burgoyne brown roof

Old fire station green roof

The Burgoyne building will be reserved for solar gain as the top floor is dedicated to growing it will allow the fruit / vegetables enough light. As this part of the scheme is not going to be as populated, I am proposing that the roof space which could have been another garden become a brown roof. A brown roof being a wild assortment of plants and flowers that will enhance the eco system and boost biodiveristy . This type of roof is commonly known as a sedum roof and doesn’t rewuire as much maintanenace as a roof garden. This roof will be unavailable to the public and users of the buildings.

As the old fire station will be the main hub of eating and cooking it will also have more people. I want the people distributed from level one all the way to roof where they will have views of residential East Ham. It will be a good place for watching the sunset to the west as this part of the building will stand taller than the residential context. This roof will be more of a garden and be accessible by members of the public.

I envision a shaded roof garden where the structure is timber and plants frame the confines of the space

BURGOYNE DEVELOPMENT LIGHT THROUGH THE GREENHOUSE

Light coming through the roof and diffusing through the building.

The mesh walkways would be coming from closed down factories such as Dagenham Ford factory. The mesh would compliment the iron beams and collumns.

Option A would have two lines of walkways allowing for growth in the centre and around the perimeter.

Option B would open the floor for more light to travel through to the floor below.

The walkways will be a secondary light source, along with windows which would allow ensure that dark corners have access to light. This would also serve as a way to ventilate the building.

RE USING FOOD What is anaerobic digestion?

It is the process where in the abscence of oxygen microorganisms are broken down. This can then be used for fuel and can be industrial or domestic. Within my sceme, I want to encorporate anaerobic digestion as away of combating food waste and regenerating energy that may otherwise have gone to waste.

The energy will be shared not only in the buildings but with the local community.

INDOOR GROWING PLANT PULLEY SYSTEM

As the majority of the growing will take place indoors in the old Burgoyne building, the whole floor will be dedicated to that. Though the external plants require soil and regular hydration in the traditional geo ponics manner, the internal plants will be grown using hydroponic and aeroponic systems.

HYDROPONICS (hydro culture) - the system of growing which does not require soil, whereby plants are grown in water, sand or gravel.

AEROPONICS (air culture) - subculture of hydroponics where plants are suspended and sprayed with nutrient rich water.

GEOPONIS (soil culture) - traditional system of growing where soil, fertilisers and pesticides are used to grow in the ground or plant pots.

EXTERNAL GROWING STRATEGY SUN PATH DIAGRAM OF THE SITE

Using the shadow ranges to dertimine the most suitable space for growing, though the circled space is the most ideal for planting crops that require direct sunlight. The site has pockets of spaces where solar gain can be maximised.

However, most of the site lays in deep shade meaning most crops will not receive adequate sunlight due to overhanging buildings around the site. This is good for those that are able to grow under ground/ in the dark. As the majority of growing will take place indoors, the geoponic spaces will be for a select crops and for educational purposes to teach about growing.

EXTERNAL DUCT

The floor on the ground has not been compartmentalised as advised in Appendix B 8.5 which states the ground floor does not need to be a compartment floor. However, as this part of the building contains the kitchen the proposed walls and ceiling in the kitchen will be compartment ones. Though the building is not an apartment, it will adhere to the B3 8.11 regulations regarding separation of spaces wether they belong to the same business or not. The compartment walls will protect the fire station and the arches. The proposed compartment floor will protect users of the food hall and also give them enough time to escape. As stateted in appendix B table B3 7 the compartment should be able to resist fire for 90 minutes and with evacuations as quick as 8 minutes, those in refuge points have more chance of escape.

The load bearing beams and columns will be treated with intumescent paint prior to construction. The paint reacts in high temepratures and expands 50 times the original coating for example 1mm of paint would become 50mm in a fire. This paint will help to reduce the impact of the fire on the structure as the iron can lose its strength and buckle adding to the renovation cost.

EAST ARCH WAY ENTRY

The lifts in the buildings are proposed to work in the event of a fire and would need to meet BS 9999 as advised in paragraph 17.11. The buildings are not requred to have two fire hsafts as they are both under 900m2 in floor area and would not exceed 18m above any source of fire.

FIRE SAFETY: BUILDING EVACUATION

As the buildings will have various activities which can accommodate more than 60 people but less than 100, the bridge link will act as a means of escape. This is in accordance with B1 table 2.2 which indicates that a floor for 60 people must have one escape route which does not include windows.

Once the building is complete, it will undergo British standard testing, BS 476-22, which tests the resistance of non load bearing elements such as doors. As there are elements in the scheme that are reused, they would have to be checked before hand for example the iron beams and collums as they are load bearing elements.

The following are also standards that apply to the scheme, B3 8.14 as the kitchen will require sprinklers if a fire overwhelmed the space. B5 18.11, the provision of smoke outlets - mechanical smoke extract. This applies as the kitchen will contain open grills with outlets attached to reduce risk to health.

Though the bridge link is less likely to be a fire risk, users in the space still need adequate warning in order to make a decision about their means of escape.

The location of the refuge points are clearly identifiable and have been allocated to spaces that would satisy the requiremnts in B1 3.5b as they both exceed the recommended 900mm x 1400mm dimensions. In ETE north the refuge are though open, is in a place that is not at risk of being inflamed. In ETE south, the refuge is located in the protectd tower and both do not reduce the escape route space.

The calculations are approximations for the whole site, that is, including the chemical works and the other buildings on site.

The displayed are materials that will be re-used in the building scheme. The total embodied carbon of the existing is 626,239.81kgCO2e/m² meaning it is already surpassing the RIBA 2030 climate challenge as it has less than 500kgCO2/m².Thus, the new build would have to re-use a lot of material to ensure the number is low and as close to the target as possible.

Thought the embodied carbon of materials of the whole scheme is higher than the RIBA benchmark it is considerably lower than it could have been. The value is due to the re-purposing and usage of materials, however, to reach the RIBA bench mark the whole building would have to be retrofitted with minamal new material. This can be possible with strong buildings that are designed for disassembly as the material is easily retrieved, stored and re-used.

The comparison of flights to New Delhi in comparison with the embodied carbon is related to the demographic of the site where a large majority of residents are from India.

DECONSTRUCTION - END OF LIFE STRATEGY

RECLAIMED MATERIALS STORED

UN-USABLE MATERIALS WILL BE TAKEN TO RECYCLING CENTRES IN NEWHAM

A reverse material inventory will take place of the usable materials from the building, the materials recovered from the site will be reconstructed and redistributed. I am proposing that the building structure remain pending an assessment to declare the feasibility of building around it again. The spans and structure in both parts of the buildings allow for flexible internal spaces and external opportunities for the future.

This would allow architects creative freedom but at a reduced carbon level.

The demolition would have to meet the demolition regulations The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015: 20.â&#x20AC;&#x201D;(1) The demolition or dismantling of a structure must be planned and carried out in such a manner as to prevent danger or, where it is not practicable to prevent it, to reduce danger to as low a level as is reasonably practicable.

(2) The arrangements for carrying out such demolition or dismantling must be recorded in writing before the demolition or dismantling work begins.

As the current RIBA work stages do not include an end of use stage it is important to note that the London Energy Transformation Initiative (LETI) have been proposing a change in the building regulations as well as the work stages to include RIBA workk stage 8 which would hold designers accountable for the end of life of their buildings.

The applications are user friendly and are heading in the right direction as so much food gets wasted and this is a good start in combating food waste. As well as the growing waste in food comes the strain on the food industry from the growing global population.

This project can work in conjuction with food waste companies like the above who will be stake holders. As they are, the apps are more usefule in the centre of London however in the futre it is likeley more companies will work withthem in order to accommodate local communities which at the moment are not being catered to.

EAST TO EAT PROPOSED APP

LINK TO WEB PAGE BEST VIEWED ON A MOBILE DEVICE

The application will serve as a way of getting people who may not live in the borough of Newham to interact with the building. For the residents I am proposing it would be issued as a library card and if the idea of East to Eat was to expand it would be distributed through the 32 boroughs of London and thus have 32 centres where communities come together, break bread and create in a way that could then serve the rest of the country.

The following examples are to show the navigation through the application. As this would be a BETA version, it would be developed as the East to Eat generates footfall. It would make it easier for users of the centre to book pods for small to large

PS

I am also proposing that the application serve as an online retailer where niche products produced in the greenhouse are sold to generate revenue for the centre which can then be used for increasing activities and helping to employ the local community.

As the application is to help in the unification of the community, members who are unsure of how to use the technology will be orientated and continue to receive support to ensure ease of access and reduction of alienation.

The pack page can be used as a staff portal where day workers clock in and claim shifts.

As those are homeless will be working in the building, it is a way for them to keep track with the jobs they have done so they are paid correctly and they can do this on site if they do not have access to a phone.

PLANTS

The community garden is designed so that when in lockdown during the 1 hour exercise, people can still sit and enjoy the garden as this will not only boost their immune system but help with anxiety and depression. In exchange for using the garden, users will help with watering and general house keeping like sweeping dead leaves.

The idea is that the people of the community who are not able to grow in their own gardens can come and collect food that has been growing in the EAST TO EAT centre. The fruit or vegetable will continue to grow during the outbreak.

For those living in the block of flats or in spaces that do not have many plants the centre will provide small plants to keep them company. This is also to help with keeping a daily routine as it will be a plant that has to be watered everyday.

Plants cannot contract animal viruses so youre not harming them and they are not harming you.

STRIKES FAIRNESS EQUALITY EQUITY If we can respect each other then it would be redundant to need centres like these.?

The strike shed light on the inequality in education particularly higher education. This scheme can encourage people to come together and discuss ideas and strengthen the community.

The strikes at the university demonstrated the way individuals engage with social change. Not everyone is ready for change however when given the spce they are more likley to want to engage. East to Eat could be used for collective projects where community members can use the facilities and create interventions in the courtyard which would allow passerbs-by to join.

The UEL strikes were successful in location as the sace was open. In mirroring this ETE interventions will be outdoors by the archeas or framed by the arches and allow individuals to come and go. It is a chance to also mix with members of the community who may not be so social but happen to find themselves in the space.

In having an open air intervention ideas can flow and there is no hierachy? to allow different groups to join. As the project is centred around the intergration of migrants, it can be a chance for them to have their voices heard in a way that is not exclusive and for them to hear from residents.

Involving students in the strikes was away of getting them to understand the fight

ECO BRICK An ecobrick is a single use plastic bottle filled with other non recyclable but clean plastics. Ecobricks can be used to produce furniture, walls, and small structure.

A) Application of clay/earth to secure bottles. The plastic has insulating properties and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eed much insulatio when used in a structure.

B) Fairy Tale farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turkey house which was made possble by the Midcounties Cooperative. The turkey house was built using a timber frame and 1000 thousand ecobricks which were donated by te local community.

C) The process of packing a bottle with single use plastics with one tool, a stick or long enough object that would reach the bottom of the bottle.

D) Testing the brick to see whether it can be flattened by hand which would create varieties in the form. The test included pressing the brick in a traditional hand press, this took out most of the air forming a more square bottle. This would make a structure more solid as the risk of puncture has been reduced.

EVALUATION Using man power ensures that additional carbon is not released into the atmosphere. The ease of making the brick means that varying people are able to contribute and can use plastic already in their homes to start storing plastic before it arrives at a landfill site.

THE FUTURE OF THE ECO BRICK

The initial problem of the plastic will still be present at the end of the structureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. In creating new forms it is near impossible to do it without burning or using heat, however, the bottles can stil be unpacked, checked for discrepencies and repackaged to make new eco bricks. The following are examples of what plastics could become.

Hindu Temple Vastu Purusha Mandala. ... Purusha refers to energy, power, soul or cosmic man.Mandala is the generic name for any plan or chart which symbolically represents the cosmos. In Hindu cosmology the surface of the earth is represented as a square, the most fundamental of all Hindu forms.

The main users will be from ethnic backgrounds that hold spirituality highly and the way they experience space space is different to someone who is an atheist or of a different spiritual back ground. Looking at the way religious building are organised in terms of space and the relationship with the the rest of the rooms and spaces. This can be implemented into my design by looking at the relationship between spaces that may be louder/ in more use and quiter areas as well as the communal and private space.

AS the project is largely about growing food and enhancing biodiveristy the products used to protect the plants would have to be sensitive to the environment. There a variety of companies already working on repellents that would allow for environemnet to benefit as well as not harming animals. For the purpose of the project I have proposed a repellent that is chilli based which will be grown in the greenhouse and mixed with water and mild soap. The solution can also work without the soap. The repellent can later be sold in small quantities to reduce waste. I is also a chance to teach the local residents how to make their own.

Once the crop has been harvested, it will be rotated meaning a new crop will take its place. For example in year 1 where spinach had been harvested, tomatoes may take its place. This is to ensure insects do not get used to one type of crop and the soil can benefit from new nutrients.

This table is for reference only, to show when to harvest and grow and the likely crops that will be grown in a particular year at East to Eat. The crops were chosen based on common fresh ingredients in the community dishes. The idea is to vary the crops from year to year so it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always the same harvest.
