T_1 Learning from Rye

T_2 Terrestrial

This year, the unit explores the terrestrial and the extraterrestrial.

After experiencing a year of isolation and uncertainty, unit 1 explores this concept in relation of two places on the Kent/Sussex border.

Dungeness, the UK’s closest landscape to a desert, is a growing headland of shingle. Extraterrestrial.

Rye, a small town inland that once on the coast, sits on the top of a hill like a fortress.

bird sounds INTO MUSIC Hearing not seeing

Vaughan Williams the Lark Ascending 1914

Bird and human share musical sounds and behavoirs, approaches to repition, variation, shape and balance.

Ottorino Respighi the Birds 1928

Jonathan Harvey Bird Concerto with Piano Song 2003

“listen. interiors are like large instruments, collecting sound, amplifying it, transmitting it elshwhere.” Peter Zumthor

Edward Elgar Owls 1907

Johann Bachs the Art of the Fudge 1740

Olivier Messiaen Le Merle Noir 1952

20

Apparent repetition of harmony replicating a bird call in contrast to variation.

A BIRDS BEHAIVOUR A commonality of aivary behaivoir is the concregation on telephone wires, areas of country side, areas where there is a likeihood of food. During breeding season it is common for nests to be found in very narrow gaps like a building eave or on a dangerous exposed rock face dependent on breed.

21

Another earth Mike Cahill 2011

The two chosen characters are John Burroughs on earth one and John Burroughs in earth two. One who is grieving after the tragic loss of his family, lost faith in his musical abilitys, the other stuc in a broken mirror with his family, happy and a successful musician. Music is the commonality which can bring them together.

The experience of the observatory is that the two Johns only meet in the observation space, everything else is seperated.

The views to oneanother’s space is minimal. In the film communication to the earth is only audio until the end (apart from the view in macro scale), this is what I am trying to represent.

Another earth appears near earth creating a broken mirror effect of a replica of human existence mirrored on this ‘earth’.

It represents the idea of the ‘perfect life’ before events take place. The idea of a dream as a place people are longing to experience contrast to earth where day to day is unpredictable and can lead to grief and destruction.

The Danish Music museum

sound mirrors

Denmark - Adept - 2014

Dungeness - Dr William Sansome Tucker - 1920s

A collection of music rooms designed to suit the instrument group which will be played in specific room. Acoustically designed to the detail with different timber panels where students can test their sound spectrum. The brass room uses chequered panels of smooth wood veneer and acoustic baffles, the strings room uses rows of holes drilled in the stepped walls and the percussion room has slim strips of timber run from ceiling to floor and soft rounded edges to the space.

Concretesound mirrors, currently owned by English Heritage, were built for the World War 2 to detect enemy planes from the English Channel. However, these were never used due to the development of radar systems. They remain standing in Dungeness. The systeem reflects sound waves into a focused position where a parabolic microphone picked up the soundwaves.

23

ForesT MEGAPHONE

TVISONGUR

These timber structures where designed to amplify the sound of nature to alolow one at peace and to relax with the exagerated sounds of the natural surrounding environment. Using a simmple timber structure, the timber controls excessive choing and reverbration by reducing the transmission of sound vibrations.

These five interlocking domes constructed from concrete provides a sculptural setting among the landscape as well becoming a natural amplifier of the traditional Icelandic five tone music. each dome, between 2-4m tall, responds to each tone individually.

Iceland - Lukas Kühne - 2012

CREATING THE FORM OF THE BUILDING

The geometrical shape plays with the idea of difference and similarity like the shingle, all different but classed as one category.

The task inspired a split through the building for the broken mirror concept, the river is the concept for the life of the building where it is the path for the birds to fly through abd leads to the point where the most fragile aspect of the building is, the nest inhabiting life.

LETTING NATURE TAKE OVER

AFTER SIX MONTHS OF USE ALL THE FABRIC, APART FROM THE STRUCTURE, WILL BE REMOVED AND RECYCLED LEAVING THE STRUCTURE TO BE FULLY INHABITED BY BIRDS AND THE NATURAL ELEMENTS. LIKE THE BIRDS FILM, THE BUILDING WILL TAKE OVER BY THEM AND THROUGH TIME THE STRUCTURE WIILL BECOME A BECOME A RUIN, A PART OF DUNGENESS. 35

Dungeness (E-T_02) highlights the building technology needed to withstand the harsh environment, like a spaceship out of space. Filmology studies of the extra-terrestrial highlight the similarities from Dungeness to explore the outside the earth qualities. These studies led me to design an observatory (E-T_03) to observe sounds of Dungeness (birdsong and wind), an experimental space with a unique collaboration of wind, birds and humans placed in an exposed location like a spacecraft landing on an undiscovered planet. The building promotes wind tunnels and inhabitation from birds to let nature take over. Simultaneously, humans can transform the eery out of the earth sounds of the wind alongside the intense birdsong into music, emphasising the forces of nature, being left to rot and take over by the birds and wildlife. buildings in

Relating back to the earth, the move from Dungeness to Rye is the transitioning from.

The extra, to the terrestrial where Rye is much more of a traditional British town.

TERRESTRIAL Avian and human interaction comes from Dungeness to Rye. During the pandemic, nature has resisted highlighting human impact on natural habitats. Humans and birds have long coexisted; some birds learn from human behaviour like mimicing music. Can birds and humans cohabit?

RYE’S HISTORY AND DEFENSE STUDY

WHAT IS RYE?

40

RYE DEMOGRAPHICS background

The town’s visual appearance in the landscape, with the Citadel on a sandstone outcrop rising like an island above the low lying surrounding salt marshes and tidal waters

Improving the economic and social well-being of the community, considering in particular its vulnerability to flooding and its role as a market town, a centre for tourism, leisure and culture.

The view from local people is that Rye’s strengths lie in its character as an historic market town, a tourist destination with unique historic character and a working port.

Rye attracts a significant number – up 1 million - of visitors throughout the year, but in particular the summer months, boosted by multi day festivals

Rye is an ancient town of national historic importance and high architectural value.

Seeks to achieve ‘a thriving town for the 21st Century’ Many in the community describe Rye as “rising like a jewel” from the surrounding Romney Marsh

ecology

4.77 Effective management of habitats may be seen within a wider approach to ‘green infrastructure’. This is defined by the Rother DC Core Strategy as a strategic network of multi-functional green space which supports a wide range of purposes: a. The creation and enhancement of a sense of place; b. Provision of recreation opportunities; c. Preservation and enhancement of biodiversity; f. Contribution to climate change adaption and mitigation.

arts

The town boasts a high cultural offer, including a number of annual festivals, such as the high-profile Rye Arts Festival and the Rye Bay Scallop Festival, a strong arts and literary community, with several art galleries, and the long tradition of the Rye potteries.

community

The community expressed strong support for action to address climate change and were positive about finding ways to achieve sustainable development locally. Many agree that the Plan should: a. contribute to the global objective of reduced CO2 emissions by 2050. Every proposed development or change to an existing structure should be reviewed in that light to assess how the development meets that goal. b. encourage a move towards a low carbon future in a changing climate, particularly to achieve better energy efficiency.

Discussions with local small businesses suggest that there is a requirement for a small office/enterprise centre (Incubator/SME cluster site) close to the town centre. Other community feedback suggests that the Plan should: a. Encourage festivals and major town events; e. Support the High Street and encourage “reasons to visit”; Information was based Rye Neighbourhood Plan, 2016-2028 Avaliable:

Supporting Rye as a Visitor Destination To support the attractiveness of Rye as a place to visit, development proposals for the following will be permitted subject to other relevant development plan policies.

Policy SRM1

Core Strategy ‘Towards a Low Carbon Future’ A number of specific measures, some of which will not be acceptable in certain circumstances. For instance, solar panels will be carefully controlled where they could impact on the historic roofscape of Rye.

Community Aspiration 18

– Community Infrastructure and Services. Through the encouragement and support of existing community activities and facilities, including social enterprises, to: aa. Enhance cultural and heritage activities, including at St Mary’s Church (and tower), Rye Castle Museum, Kino, the Rye Heritage Centre, Rye Art Gallery and the Conduit Hill Community Centre. b. Support local organisations that enhance activities for young people

Policy RY1

The Rother DC Core Strategy: Policy Framework for Rye and Rye Harbour states that proposals for development and change will: c. Promote green tourism initiatives, including careful management of Rye Harbour Nature Reserve and, where feasible, new habitat creation and green infrastructure linkages, that protects and enhances the integrity of the internationally important ecological interests; e. Maintain and enhance the community, cultural and tourism assets of both Rye and Rye Harbour village.

Objective 3:

Rye must retain its markets, festivals and events. Central to Rye’s character and identity there are many events that must be maintained and helped to flourish. There are seasonal festivals such as the Sea, Arts, Jazz, Scallop, Wild Boar and Bonfire events. All these strengthen the town’s community spirit, providing a focus for people from the surrounding area and “reasons to visit” for the numerous visitors, making Rye a destination town for any.

Information was based upon Rye Visitor Survey, 2009 that was prepared

by Tourism South East Avaliable: https://www.rother.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Rye_Destination_Benchmarking_2009.pdf

I wanted to understand why tourism was big in Rye, this would therefore help me define the qualities od Rye and understand deeper what it is now.

I found a survey from tourists in Rye conducted in July - October 2009 where 199 visitors were surveyed. The infromation which is highlighted is areas I want to expand on in my project.

The building creates a positive contribution to the existing heritage, and it would encourage more people to come and visit the building so cutting into the new wall would not have a detrimental impact in fact positively contribute to the heritage of the site and the town itself encouraging people to learn about the history. The North wall has such a historic significance it is crucial that I have preserved it however have not just left and have implemented it into the part of the design to enhance it as well as preserving while not actually touching it

Qualities of old buildings harnessed and celebrated through a creative dialogue.

Surrounding environment to consider the hierarchy and massing of existing buildings.

Not recreating the past.

Creations that bring rhythm, subtly contrasts, clashes and shapes to buildings.

The building needs to breathe.

‘Our duty is to preserve what the past has had to say for itself, and to say for ourselves what shall be true for the future’. John Ruskin

Hunt, R. and Boyd, I., 2019. New Design for Old Buildings. Routledge.

After researching SPAB, The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings, I came across this book which is a guide to tackle new designs in old buildings. I knew I did not want to end with a design like this one below. Located on my site, this planning application was declined in 2012.

Astley Castle Witherford Watson Mann - 2012

Add to history rather detract from buildings historic provenance. Respect the beauty and imperfections of age.

The design takes a ruined grade 2 listed building and brings new life into it whilst engaging the historical context without concealing it. Without intimitating once was there, a subtle material pallete and the geometrical form highlights and expresses the original structure whithout dominating it.

The roof glazing highlights the story behind the ruin and that for many years it did not have a roof.

Carbon Negative sturucture removed 200 tonnes of co2 from the atmosphere.

The mute timber blends in with the original whilst the different material and texture brings contrasts and differences between the old and new.

The geometrical form contradicts the right angled form of the original footprint emphasising the difference.

Varied and playful volumes. devise a geometry for the new in a symbolic way.

This design responds to the curved plan in the form of the roof in elevation.

The glazing acts as a seperation between the old and the new.

The material pallete compliments the original materials whilst still working with the surrounding landscape.

The new design brings a contemporary design alongside the historical form complements on another.

Coast path Staircase, Royal William Yard, Plymouth

, Good new design is context-specific – whether it uses contrasting, complementary or closely matching architectural language and materials, it should be honest and readable, and not confuse the physical record of the building’s history

The staircase brings contrasting geometry, materiality and bold colours contrasting the historic structure.

Part of the conversion of the warehouses.

Takes the users on a journey up the historic wall exposing the layers of history.

The use of colour and light draws attention form afar, defining the shape of the staircase whilst emphasising the wall.

New Structure Original Structure

Roof Glazing Wall Old wall Surrounding cathedral

Glazing the glazing between the roof and wall separates visually the roof from the wall highlight what was originally there.

The use of light and glazing with the separation between the new walls and the original wall lights the original wall which further highlights it.

New wall replicating old wall in a readable way without imitating the original.

The old centrally placed drawing attention to the history, the new frames the old.

Structure exposed adds verticality to the building which compliments the verticality of the background cathedral spire.

LSO St Luke’s , Islington Levitt Bernstein - 2003

Home for London Symphony Orchestra,

Home for London Symphony Orchestra With a busy street outside it is important the noise is not brought into the interior. A second skin (50mm glazing) contributes to this. The glazing allows a transparent view to the original windows without compromising on thermal or acoustic qualities.

Lightweight matierality for the roof contrasting and focusing the original masonry form whilst feeling lifted.

There is a near silent ventilation that “exploits free heating and cooling”. (Levitt Bernstein) The existing fabric provides walls that are “rough” and absorbing. The rough texture was exposed so the reflection of the sound is not as sharp and some noise can absorb.

Balinese gamelan orchestra - a way of introducing schoolchildren, among others, to playing confidently in a large group The use of cavernous air ducts, move cool air warm air slowly and silently through the building which addresses the issue of not opening windows (acoustically and practically).

STRUCTURAL THEORY

Kenneth Frampton

Rappel à l’ordre: the case for the tectonic.

Framework tends towards the aerial and the dematerialisation of mass, whereas the mass from is telluric, embedding itself ever deeper into the earth. The one tends towards the light and the other towards the dark. These gravitational opposites, the immateriality of the frame and the materiality of the mass, may be said to symbolise the two cosmological opposites to which they aspire: the sky and the earth…

cathedral of christ the light - som This cathedral compliments the structural theory with the heavy weight at the base and the lightweight at the top.

This creates an uplifting feeling, with the cathedral connecting it to heaven. In this cirrent project I would like to impliment the heavyweight existing masonry stonework with the lightweight timber new building. This would create a complimentary constrast between the existing and proposed.

59

HUMAN INTERACTION WITH BIRDS

Humans and birds have coexisted for years with some birds learning from human behaviour for rewards, like fish and chips in seaside towns.However, can birds and humans coexist? Both can produce music; both have the curiosity to explore, both need to migrate in the circumstances. In a town like Rye, can this be integrated?

MUTATION OF STARLINGS Starlings are beautiful birds. Known for their mimicry and murmurations, the population has been declining. The building will be used as a breeding programme for Starlings that are known in the local area.

Forever the impenetrable wall Of self confines my poor rebellious soul, I never see the towering white clouds roll Before a sturdy wind, save through the small Barred window of my jail. I live a thrall With all my outer life a clipped, square hole, Rectangular; a fraction of a scroll Unwound and winding like a worsted ball.

My thoughts are grown uneager and depressed Through being always mine, my fancy’s wings Are moulted and the feathers blown away.

I weary for desires never guessed, For alien passions, strange imaginings, To be some other person for a day.

“The Starling” – A poem by Amy Lowell 65

motzart’s starling

For about three years the composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart kept a pet starling. The starling is remembered for the anecdote of how Mozart came to purchase it, for the funeral commemorations Mozart provided for it, and as an example of the composer’s affection in general for birds.

The music Mozart jotted down in the book is fairly close to the opening bars of the third movement of his Piano Concerto No. 17 in G, K. 453, which Mozart had completed a few weeks earlier (12 April). Presumably Mozart taught the bird to sing this tune in the pet store, or wherever it was that he bought it; According to Mozart’s transcription, the starling incorrectly inserted a fermata on the last beat of the first full measure, and sang G sharp instead of G. Mozart probably was not joking when he made the transcription, because starlings are known to have a very strong capacity for vocal mimicry.

Mozart’s funeral poem is translated by Robert Spaethling into vernacular English as follows.

Here rests a bird called Starling, A foolish little Darling.

He was still in his prime When he ran out of time, And my sweet little friend Came to a bitter end, Creating a terrible smart Deep in my heart.

Gentle Reader! Shed a tear, For he was dear, Sometimes a bit too jolly And, at times, quite folly, But nevermore A bore.

I bet he is now up on high Praising my friendship to the sky, Which I render Without tender; For when he took his sudden leave, Which brought to me such grief, He was not thinking of the man Who writes and rhymes as no one can https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozart%27s_starling

66

aviary - group8 This example of an aviary helped me design the aviary which will be located next to the main building. This example shows how it is preferable to located it outside to imitate the natural environment. The sand base will keep the contamination of excraments easy to maanage. The organic form will act as areas for birds to pirch and nest. There is an option for the public to walk through with space for the starlings to have privacy.

67

uae nature reserve - x architects This example helps to show a layout for a bird watching centre. This helped me develop my programme understanding how the building user will move through the building and allow lots of seating space for bird watching and reflection and birds surround the building.

68

ABOUT BIRDS The three different feathers of a bird have been carfully evolved. The flight feathers consist of micro vecro like connections which stick together in flight allowing a good aerodynamic feather allowing the bird to fly.

The birds voice box has a capability of creating two sounds at one. This is why my building will have two performance areas to mimic this.

69

The birds sight is complex, a common bird like the pigeon or starling have eyes on the side of their head so the feild of view is greater. The can also see ultra violet which helped them identify prey and eggs.

FORM OF THE BUILDING The mono pitch roof was inspired bye a form of the bird studying the shapes of a bird in flight from Étienne-Jules Marey studie let’s me to create this form in my design.

70

DEVELOPMENT OF SOLAR SHUTTERS FROM BIRD FEATHERS

The design of the louvres was inspired by the construction of the bird feather with the crosshatch effect, this would allow partial light in and create a textured element of the facade like a bird feather.

71

72

taiwan church - mayu architects This buildings facade appareas very lightweight and textured even though the material is aluminium. Inspired by bird feathers these solar shelves control the amount of direct sunlight into the building minimising cooling loads. This is an example of the lightweight asthetics I would like to achieve within my building lovres. The different texture to the facade creates a different pattern like a marking of a bird and a starling.

73

STARLINGS THAT PLAY JAZZ

David Rothenberg takes his clarinet, and plays along to and with birds, bugs and whales. The connecton between music and birds is the elements shared by birds and humans. This is something my building will explore further, collaboration jazz, acoustics and birds whilst observed by the public.

JAZZ IN RYE

As discussed in the demographics of Rye, the town has a rich arts culture. This inculdes two annual festivals that incorporate music including Jazz around the city. The builing proposed can act as a hub for the events annually as well as a continuation of Jazz performances throughout the year, engaging tourists and the local commutiy to the culture in a historic fabric.

75

JAZZ IN DESIGN

Ablert Glezies’ Composition for “Jazz”.

Cubist work that overlaps with elements of Art Deco. Released in 1915, a precursor of Jazz the next decade.

Straight lines – syncopation, set twelve bar blues of Jazz.

Curved lines – improvisation, bending notes.

Stylised like a Jazz piece.

THE JAZZ CENTRE UK I looked at this building not for its architectural design and aethetics but more to understand a similar programme in terms of Jazz which will influence the programme of my design. Below is a list of spaces consisting in this building which is all run on voluntary basis and lottery funded. They aim to educate people to Jazz and inspire local communities which is what I am intending to achieve. Overall my building will be a mini version of this building with all its goals and values around Jazz

78

The clarinet was common in early Jazz styles, protected by a case usually foam and velvet, scaling it up in a room would create a muffled acoustic experience opposite from a rich tone of a clarinet. This inspired my three acoustic experience room idea. The idea of the three experimental spaces is where the same sounds of the building is played in three separate spaces however the result of the same sound in each of the spaces will be different. This is due to the finishes of the room material which will change the reflectivity of the sounds at different levels. The room with velvet fabric finishes like a case of a musical instrument will make the sounds very muffled due to the absorbency of the fabric. The timber room will be a neutral space without too many reflections. The metallic room will be super reflective due to the material being reflective there should produce echoes and create a sound experience which feels like a tunnel.

EVOLUTION OF FILMOLOGY

During Space Odyssey, the story of evolution of human development has been represented, from the apes first discovering weapons, to space travel to an element of fiction predicted in a extr-terrestrial way.

During the Birds, the birds behaivour elvove through the duration of the film. Staring with tame birds in a cage in a urban enviroment, the transition from urban to rural allows the narritive to progress to nature fighting back from humanity. Gradually the birds become more agress leading to their succession, driving humans back into city, just as us humans are doing to birds.

80

THE BUILDING

This building combines Jazz with a starling breeding programme. Humans will coinhabit with birds in a building which will never sleep; it will live, sing, and breathe alongside nature providing the connection between nature and humanity.

81

japanese courtyard: still - appollo architects The japanese courtyard inspird the layout on the ground floor. The large picture windows helping to connect with nature whilst further integrating with nature. The materiality of these courtyars, timber, gravel, planting and water is replicated in my ground floor.

82

grace farms river building - sanaa Designing the top of the tower for a performance area was inspired by Sanaa work. The unique form of the tower was replicated in a elevation in terms of a simple banister system. This building replicated the shape of a reiver in plan and elevation by the changing of levels and the use of curves. My performance area interprets the idea of fortification by emphasising it on the roof of the main fortification structure of Rye.

83

japanese courtyard: still - appollo architects Designing the ground floor water collection and bird bath led me to look at Scarpas work. The simple steped form will create reflections and steps for birds to explore.

84

EVOLUTION OF THE FORM

The design takes a ruined grade 2 listed building and brings new life into it whilst engaging the historical context without concealing it. Without imitating once was there, a subtle material palette and the geometrical form highlights and expresses the original structure without dominating it.

The roof glazing highlights the story behind the ruin and that for many years it did not have a roof. What once was a crisp form with crisp right angles has become a form with crumbling straight lines. The introduction of the new materiality with its right angles creates a footprint of what was once there and celebrated the remaining structure by celebrating its form. The new structure acts like a canvas for the old.

85

PROGRAMME EVOLUTION PUBLIC STAFF SOUND TECHNOLOGISTS

MUSICIANS

BIRD CARE

Due to the multiple use for the building the programme needs to be developed seperatly to avoid overcoplication. Large amount of circulation spaces is needed for the different programmes and the large number of people moving through the building.

DAYLIGHTING ANALYSIS

Final design daylighting The final design shows I progression in the daylight analysis meaning that I have improved the amount of daylight in the lower floors. There is still a limiting amount of daylight in the lower floors. Because of the veterinary spaces, large windows would not be applicable and there will always be a requirement for artificial light due to the complex procedures required for aviary veterinary spaces. There is still an amount of natural daylight in the lower spaces but to maximise this further the south wall would have to be cut which would be invasive for a scheduled monument. On the North side it has shown that cutting into the wall which I have compromised on has worked however due to the ground level on the north side of the north wall being 2m higher, this has limited daylighting drawn into the ground floor. Overall, the design of the building I have placed rooms that do not need or would not benefit from daylighting into the first two floors for the reason that they would require artificial light even if an admirable amount of daylight was provided. Although the work of the facades has provided greater daylight, the quality of the spaces would not be compromised due to inefficient amount of daylight. To conclude providing daylight into the lower buildings was a difficult design challenge without impacting the grade 1 listed scheduled monument too much. I fell like due to the limitations this was issue was tackled to the best of my ability.

THE LIVING WALL: SCOTSCAPE AND PLANTING STRATEGY The living wall which I designed initially was to attract birds however it has many other strong properties. For example, the planting takes CO2 from the atmosphere. It is a place for birds to go nest and live and feed on. The Scott State wall is a local company which means low on body carbon in terms of travel and the frame is all recyclable so minimises the need of raw material extract. It also creates a green environment for Rye as a town connecting the town to the local landscape.

GROUNDWORK CONSTRUCTION IN STAGES

Foundation Choosing the right foundation for the building is important due to the site’s proximity to the ageing tower and walls. The previous planning application on the site received consultation from Tribrach and Associates a consulting civil and structural engineering company. In the consultation letter there was feedback quoted below: As far as is practically possible, the supporting structure should not impinge upon the existing structure.

Foundation sizes are to be minimised.

Reinforced concrete strip foundations provide an adaptable foundation solution capable of distributing concentrated load and spanning over ‘soft-spots’.

The final foundation scheme will be subject to the findings of a soil investigation report, prepared by a suitably qualified geotechnical engineer.

After further research I concluded that the geology is a sand/ clay. After a discussion with a structures tutor, the size of the building and the proximity to existing fabric, concrete end cap pile foundations would be the most appropriate solution for the building. At the outer edge of the building where it is in close proximity to the existing fabric and its foundations, the pile foundations can be offset inwards and the load from the columns can be cantilevered to the piles.

Underpinning The objective of this is to transfer the load from the existing object to a new level. Under pinning the existing structure will mean that the load will be transferred deeper into the ground to prevent the 45-degree load impacting on the proposed structure.

109

EMBODIED CARBON RESULTS My final embodied carbon calculation A1-C4 419 kgCO2e/m2 shows an improvement from the midterm calculation A1-C4 860 kgCO2e/m2. This is due to the energy is been reduced however the material palette has been thought out carefully I have changed the steel construction to glue lamb which has saved a considerable amount of body carbon and the material is itself will have less production needed. There are areas in the building which I had to compromise for example the glazing casing where aluminium would be the most suitable to reduce heat loss and be a lot more durable without the need of maintenance which would be complex to access due to the large scale of the building and the proximity between the existing wall and the proposed wall. The decision to choose timber is primarily down to my theoretical stance of contrast between the old and the new and replicating that in a lightweight versus heavy construction. Ideally the timber will be treated which would increase the embodied carbon however it would lengthen its lifespan and need for maintenance so overall would be the most applicable solution.

The use of concrete is another compromise to construct the ground works after learning about the complex process I would have to go through. Although concrete is incredibly bad for the environment It is also a durable material which would be able to withstand the buildings lifespan without structural errors which would be detrimental to the grade 1 listed monument in its proximity. When designing the living wall, I opted for a system which was local as discussed however I was aware that the frame was steel however didn’t it was recyclable so the impact on the body carbon was and is detrimental. Exploring alternatives for this frame would result in complex detailing and potentially structures that would fail under the weight of the planting system and the constant irrigation needed. The benefits of the embodied carbon from the living wall also great it is worth the compromise.

Energy use The improved final model shows the energy reading of 264 kWh/m2/yr which is already a vast improvement to what was the into term model energy use 662 kWh/ m² . I took all the recommendations from him on board as well as applying my own knowledge in the lighting and of improved the daylighting considerably and change elements to help the energy use. when analysing this model an insight I further worked the results to reduce the energy use of the building to 82.9 kWh/ m2/yr which would meet all requirements for targets. I changed the glazing ratios between 15 and 30% whereas they were on 20 to 40% however this model does not take into context the louvres I modelled So I do understand that the results are probably inaccurate. I altered the glazing to triple glazing and change the wall and roof construction to SIP. The lighting efficiency was altered to 3.23 W per metre squared and the daylight controls will change to daylight in occupancy control. With the photoVoltaic Studies I change the efficiency to 18.6% with the payback limit to 30 years and the surface coverage to 90%. All these factors reduce the energy used to a number which meets all targets for sustainable building.

Heating and cooling loads After changing the biomass to ground source heat pump I’m aware that I have saved energy within the building. my final heating and cooling strategy show how much heating is required for this building this is down to the daylighting analysis of the building however I have improved this because I have met all u value as passive house and I understand that my building is as airtight as can be minimise internal bridging. I am aware that do not know the details of this results properly so commenting on it is a challenge, but I am aware substantially improved my heating and cooling loads throughout the design process which is an achievement.

Internal finishes and acoustics The oak planks create a warm neutral environment but also helps with the acoustics.

Late on top of plasterboard the rough edges help absorb soundwaves and reduce shop reflections this is very important in the performance area indoors where the back of the stage is glazed for daylighting strategies however this would reflect the soundwaves badly and create echoes. The implementation of oak planks on the internal finishes including the suspended ceiling creates an additional face for sound absorption and a rough texture to reflect the sounds in a more acoustically dynamic way. In the existing structures, these are primarily used for music spaces.

The rough texture of the walls does create a good sound reflection barrier however the stonework creates echoing and can impact on the quality of sound negatively. Learning from the project at Saint Lukes they wanted to expose the existing stonework for the properties explained above however they did not want to compromise so they implemented sound absorbers to counter the reflection and echoing affects inside the building. I wanted to keep the Wall exposed to keep the heritage inside the building however I have installed several acoustic panels on the walls to contrast the new and old and create an optimal acoustic environment. In these areas I have also installed an acoustic floor on top of the existing floor which will also help with the acoustics in these existing buildings.

Ventilation During the design process I was aware of ventilation issues in my building from the start. I was aware of there complex program of the building which I need to address on the fact that surgery and animal keeping requires strong ventilation systems to adequately get rid of pollutants and contaminants. I had always intended to use a MHVR System until I change my final design. The final design allows more wall surface on the first two floors which allows all rooms to be able to be naturally ventilated through a mixture of heat recovery systems openable windows trickle vents and ground source chips providing fresh air into the buildings especially the veterinary spaces which is crucial to have Adequate ventilation. The use of the atrium which is external has also helped achieve a naturally ventilated building again with more exterior wall surfaces exposed resulting in more opportunity to provide an openable window for the ventilation systems. My final ventilation strategy is all natural with a mixture of stacks ventilation and single sided and cross ventilation within each individual room.

U values Working in bin meant that I could detail the walls to meet passive house standards u values which I spent time concentrating on to understand that the heat transfer would be minimal and therefore reduce the need of artificial heating and cooling.

The values are noted below compare to UK building regulations and passive house standards.

The future of the environment is in humanities hands. We have evolved and become manifested within a world where humans have impacted on nature and become self-indulgent. without warning our actions have caused a period of isolation. accepting is not defeat, working with and coexisting with nature is crucial now, balancing natures needs with humanities.
