Executive summary

I propose a mixed use market and residential complex above the new Farringdon Crossrail East ticket hall and Barbican station, capturing and utilizing the vast amounts of valuable heat resources endemic to the site. The development is envisioned as a hybridization of open plan market infrastructure and a self-sustaining, off-grid neighborhood of bio-climatically enclosed housing, fostering a truly economical and sustainable building typology that is otherwise impossible within the climatic conditions of London. The character and overall scale of the design will is developed to convey a sense of spaciousness, openness and comfort. The generous proportions celebrate Farringdon role as a key modern transportation “hub� for London, providing the users with an enhanced nature orientated experience. By installing a greenhouse-industrialized system that opens and closes its mechanisms automatically, the solar gain and ventilation are regulated. This way, it is possible to raise the interior temperature naturally and guarantee a base of comfort in the circulation spaces as well as in the in-between spaces. The design of which is the combination of a series of complex systems of relationships both in a programmatic and functional way and in an experiential, emotive and social way all based around a new form of heat and energy utilization. Instead of incoherent optimizations here or there on waste reduction, it is a better idea to develop a new, integrated architecture in which economy, ecology and spatial diversification are coupled to city, nature and landscape. The main structural principles can be divided into three separate elements, a large solid concrete ground and first floor connected by elegant concrete columns at seemingly random spacings, a Forrest of timber households that utilize standardized timber elements as structural walls and floors whilst acting as screening devices, and a transparent lightweight steel and glass envelope that acts as a climate control device.

1.0 Introduction 1.3 Brief

Brief - Metabolism of London

To make the urban metabolism of London visible, I dealt with a number of vital flows, goods, people, waste, biota (inter alia plants and animals), energy, food, and fresh water. Each of these flows is indispensable to the city’s functioning and wellbeing. Until now, we have not been able to create prosperity without adversely affecting our living environment. A transition to a sustainable urban community is therefore essential! Metabolic thinking requires switching between different scales, between strategy and spatial design, intermediate flow and associated infrastructure. Instead of incoherent optimizations here or there on waste reduction, it is a better idea to develop a new, integrated perspective in which economy, ecology and spatial diversification are coupled to city, nature and landscape. For the most part, the design for a more energy efficient future is already in place. Because of their dense populations, tall buildings, and infrastructure (all things which have traditionally been causes of greenhouse emissions), cities are already built to develop channels for waste heat and more efficient energy distribution. In the end, it is the urban areas that will be the most energy efficient. New styles of cities and urban development that will incorporate the capture and distribution of waste heat in its founding are on the horizon and will be forever intertwined with city planning and urban morphology.

Introduction

I propose a mixed use market and residential complex above the new Farringdon Crossrail East ticket hall and Barbican station, capturing and utilizing the vast amounts of valuable heat resources endemic to the site. The captured heat together with the E-on Energy CHP will form the couplings between the Islington district regional heat networks, thereby reducing the required local production capacity. The development is envisioned as an enclosed climatically controlled biome that will foster a truly economical and sustainable building typology that is otherwise impossible within the climatic conditions of London. The proposition allows the residents to be completely immersed in a nature orientated environment offering refuge from the intense city life. The development will be funded been funded by TFL who own the site, Islington Council who own and run the network, along with backing from the Mayor, UK Power Networks and CELSIUS (a partnership of five EU cities and aims to demonstrate how the efficiency and performance of district heating systems can be improved by focusing on the opportunity that they offer for capturing and utilizing sources of waste heat that are generated within cities, CELSIUS were instrumental in the development of the Bunhill energy centers that the proposition connects to)

I use the concept of urban metabolism to describe the urban system in organic (not artificial) terms, by drawing a parallel with the human body. Metabolism is therefore a key concept here: the metabolism of the urban landscape. How do the ingenious, interlocking flows and systems in this complex, interactive urban system work, which incessantly works to meet the needs of its residents? To make this urban metabolism visible, a number of vital flows will be dealt with. This usually concerns physical flows, i.e. substance flows. I will concentrate on goods, people, waste, biota (inter alia plants and animals), energy, food, and fresh water. Although people and energy cannot exactly be regarded as substance flows, in a way, it also concerns matter that flows from one location to another. I will also examine building materials, freight traffic and waste. Each of these flows is indispensable to the city’s functioning and well-being. However, these flows will not remain the same in the decades ahead in view of changing requirements and contexts. It will often be extremely difficult to allow them to take place whilst ensuring good quality and greater sustainability. Until now, we have not been able to create prosperity without adversely affecting our living environment. The effects can be felt around the world. An increasing number of city-dwellers are faced with problems connected with this. A transition to a sustainable urban community is therefore essential! A world, where it is possible to create prosperity with a positive effect on our living environment and communities. Decisions and choices at local and regional level can contribute to this to a great extent. But what does this mean specifically for the city? In what form can I best apply the characteristics and possibilities of substance flows to urban life by means of spatial design?

Metabolic thinking requires switching between different scales, between strategy and spatial design, intermediate flow and associated infrastructure. Instead of incoherent optimizations here or there on waste reduction, it is a better idea to develop a new, integrated perspective in which economy, ecology and spatial diversification are coupled to city, nature and landscape. By drawing the flows together in one chart one gains insight into potential sites where chains can be closed. Such as waste heat from industry that can serve as input for geothermal sources, so that even after thirty years they can still be functional. Also exchange between flows have huge potential: Existing examples like CO2 from the energy chain and nutrients from the water that are used as a raw material in the food chain.

2.0 Existing Context 2.4 Biota Flow Analysis

Biota

In nature every output by an individual organism is also an input that renews the whole living environment of which it is a part. To become sustainable, cities have to develop a circular metabolism, using and re-using resources as efficiently as possible and minimizing materials use and waste discharges into the natural environment. The bulk of London’s water originates from the rivers Thames and Lea and from reservoirs around the city. London is notorious for its leaking water pipes and in recent years Thames Water seems to have been able to do little to improve water leakage rates. Meanwhile London’s own water table has been rising because a legacy of contamination has made it too costly for it to be used to supply drinking water. Water shortages in dry years such as 2006 are starting to concentrate the mind of decision makers, and additional future demands from a growing population in and around London is likely to encourage more efficient water use. New ways of processing and using water from London’s water table may have to be found in the coming years. Best practice in efficient water use is likely to inform decisions on the uses of new water technology in London and this is likely to include run-off collection, as well as grey water flushing, efficient toilet cisterns, efficient shower heads and other techniques in use around the world. Water metering is also likely to become the norm. Urban Metabolism: London Sustainability Scenarios, H. Girardet, Environmental Consultant, UK (2006)

2.0 Existing Context 2.5 Waste Flow Analysis

Waste

The urban metabolism consists of the entire input of resources used by city people, and their subsequent output of wastes. Modern cities tend to have a linear rather than a circular metabolism. Many materials are used only once and then end up in a landfill. For cities to exist in the long term, they need to function in a similar manner. High resource productivity is the key to the necessary changes. London’s sewage is currently transported to large treatment works such as Beckton and Crossness in 19th century sewers. Some decades ago, a proportion of it was used as fertilizer and soil conditioner, but the bulk of it was being dumped in the Thames Estuary. Now most of London’s sewage is dehydrated and then burned in an incinerator, with the permanent loss of carbon as well as plant nutrients such as potash, phosphates and nitrates that ought be returned to farmland. It is likely that new, smaller scale ecofriendly sewerage technologies, such as Eco-Machines, will increasingly come into use, with the plant nutrients contained in sewage being used in urban-fringe farming and market gardening.

Transport

London has one of the best transport systems in the world, boasting aviation connections with global reach and a vast network of railways, Tube lines, highways, local roads, bus routes, pedestrian and cycle links, trams and light railways. Mostly these work well, and significant investment has been made in recent years. However, every Londoner and London business has experienced the frustration and economic costs when they do not - and there is certainly room for improvement, including through increased reliability and reduced crowding. London’s growth also poses additional challenges; extensions will be needed to reach new or expanding neighborhoods, and improved accessibility will be required to cater for more people, old and young. London currently consumes around 20 million tonnes of oil equivalent every year, or two supertankers a week, producing some 60 million tonnes of CO2. In a world affected by climate change and limitations on the use of fossil fuels, every effort needs to be made to wean London off the routine use of oil, gas and coal. In addition, needs to look at the potential for significant reductions in car use. The London congestion charge, together with support for public transport and cycling have helped to significantly reduce carbon emissions. Much more needs to be done to assure mode switching from public transport to cycling, etc., to enable efficient, flexible journeys. Urban Metabolism: London Sustainability Scenarios, H.

Energy

The most significant advances in engineering for sustainable development are likely to be found in urban energy systems. CHP systems are offer very major opportunities, halving fossil fuel use as compared to conventional power stations. Cities such as Copenhagen, Helsinki and Hanover have shown that CHP, coupled with very high levels of energy efficiency, can offer huge benefits. A diversity of national sources of energy supply will improve security, affordability and sustainability of London’s energy supply; and the efficient production of locally produced energy incorporating a diverse range of energy sources, from gas through to large scale heat pumps utilizing waste heat will also have a significant role to play in reducing London’s carbon output and making London’s energy more secure and resilient.

2.0 Existing Context 2.8 Decentralized Energy Capacity Study

Decentralized Energy Capacity Study

District Heat and Energy has the potential to supply over 25% of London’s demand for heating and electricity, with significant reductions in carbon emissions depending on fuel source and the carbon intensity of electricity from the national grid. The initial development of DE schemes is centered around areas under the control of a single land owner (universities, hospitals, large new build developments) and schemes being developed by local authorities as part of their climate change and fuel poverty strategies. These schemes could act as catalysts for wider area schemes through interconnection but they will need to be significantly scaled up to deliver the deployment potential. Beyond 2031 a switch to heat sources lower in carbon than gas CHP will be required to continue delivering carbon savings in line with the national and London targets to achieve an 80% reduction in CO2 emissions on 1990 levels by 2050. Should this accompany a rise in natural gas prices (due to supply shortages or environmental policy), larger-scale heat networks offer opportunities to capture and use supplies of waste heat from new build low or zero carbon power stations located outside London.

2.0 Existing Context 2.9 Site Overview

Overview ell Gosw Road

Energy The site has the potential to form the coupling between the barbican and Bunhill energy centers, successfully linking the networks together will help to reduce costs and eliminate risks. Energy will be produced onsite from CHP and Waste incineration.

Connectivity The main route through the site is Goswell road. Providing an opportunity to introduce an E-loop bicycle transport network to reduce the amount of freight traffic in London. The main source of secondary heat is captured from the underground rail system. The arrival of crossrail will increase developments and need for energy.

Waste

Goswell

The main sewage line on Goswell road is a source of sewage heat mining. Providing an opportunity for heat along the street and a possible new urban system arising from that. Solid waste is processed and distributed on-site and Biowaste is incinerated. Heat is captured and distributed into network.

2.0 Existing Context 2.10 Built Context

Built Context

The site contains a number of buildings, mixed in use and character. They ranged in height from one to five storeys and range from a mixture of Victorian industrial structures to a mid-20th century concrete and brick hotel. The taller buildings were prevalent on the south end of the site, along Long Lane, whilst a series of single-storey structures were present to the north, their height being constrained by having foundations on a decking structure over the railway lines below. A few of these buildings have been demolished as part of the Crossrail enabling works. The site is presently a construction work site with the existing buildings removed and basements exposed. This provides a clear view of the surrounding built environment. The tallest neighboring structure adjacent to the site is found to the north at 23-28 Charterhouse Street. At six-storeys, it features a mix of Portland Stone to the ground floor and homogeneous brown brick above. To the south east of this and directly adjacent to development site are mid 20th century curtain walled structures made of dappled brown and purple bricks with strong horizontal emphasis afforded by long, subdivided elevations and fenestration patterns. These buildings respected the previous structures on the development site in terms of their scale and massing albeit in a contemporary guise. The south of the site is dominated by Victorian structures lining Long Lane. These buildings are fairly plain in their construction often featuring segmental headed windows and a mixture of stock bricks with red brick dressings or stucco dressings. Some exceptions can be found in slightly more ornate structures which feature decorative floral stone dressings to their string courses and ornate console brackets to their pub fronts. The majority of structures lining this route are four storeys in height although their scale and massing differ, dependent on their age.

19

The most assuming and imposing structure in the area is the Grade II listed Smithfield Market which dominates the western elevation of the proposed ETH along Lindsey Street. This elevation incorporates a number of decorative elements and is complemented by the continuous, modern glass canopy inserted above the ground floor windows. The palette of materials here is a mixture of red brick, decorative iron work, and portland stone, together with the mature, green patina of copper cladding to the cupolas surmounting the corner towers. The main podium structure of the market building is 13m tall, whilst the towers rise up to 27m tall (generally equivalent to 6/7 storeys). There is a fairly open feel to the area due to the low lying nature of the surrounding structures, with the exception of views directly to the north and to the east, although to the north east views towards Charterhouse Square provide a welcome open, green space to the predominately tight urban grain of the surrounding area. The challenges imposed by the built context therefore include addressing the setting of the Grade II listed market building and the close proximity of the Charterhouse Square Conservation Area. The proposal for the site has provided a welcome opportunity through the creation of a single development site encompassing the entire block, mirroring and complimenting the setting of Smithfield Market’s Lindsey street elevation whilst resolving the enclosure of Charterhouse Square.

2. Bunhill 2 Power Centre - is intended to be a demonstrator project to the other London Boroughs and EU cities seeking to make best use of their urban waste heat sources. It includes the capture of waste heat from an electricity sub-station and from the London Underground tube system via a heat exchange coil; the first project of its kind in the UK and one of the first in Europe. 3. Energy Hub + Nursery - Duggan Morris architects propose a new CHP center that will supply 30o0 new homes plus shops offices and leisure spaces. A nursery providing early years education to families at Elephant Park and the surrounding community as well as job and training opportunities for local residents. A community cafe that will provide a meeting point for the local community, as well as a flexible community space, managed by the cafe, and designed to accommodate a range of community events. A pocket park next to the energy hub, with energy themed play facilities for the local children to enjoy.

4. London Olympic Energy Centre - The energy centers uses (CHP) engines, which generate electricity and produce hot water. The hot water is distributed throughout the Park by a network of pipes providing heat to venues, commercial buildings and residential properties. Chilled water is also produced by passing the hot water through an absorption chiller. This is then distributed by pipes to provide airconditioning in some of the Park’s buildings. 5. The False Creek Energy Centre - integrated with a sewage pumping station, recovers heat from untreated urban wastewater, a renewable energy source. Similar to a geothermal application, heat pumps transfer the energy to a hot water distribution system. Sewage heat recovery outperforms most geothermal systems, thanks to a warmer heat source and lower installation cost.

2. 17th Century Winter garden - Traditionally a “Winter Garden” isn’t simply a vegetable patch in December - the term began back in the 17th century when it became fashionable amongst the European nobility to build themselves large conservatories attached to their palaces to house tropical and sub-tropical plants all year round, the implication being that an English summer may as well be winter to a tropical plant. 3. The Ford Foundation building and atrium - completed in 1967, by Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates. The building’s exterior is largely composed of glass panels which creates a temperate environment that is ideal for the atrium’s subtropical garden, while also creating a seamless flow of green space between the atrium and Tudor City Park to the east.

4. Sheffield Winter Garden - is one of the largest temperate glasshouses to be built in the UK during the last hundred years, and the largest urban glasshouse anywhere in Europe. It is home to more than 2,000 plants from all around the world. It has an intelligent Building Management System which controls fans and vents to make sure the plants are cooled in summer and kept warm in winter. 5. Palaeontology Research Centre - H Arquitectes and DATAAE teamed up to design the ICTA-ICP building for the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona campus in the Catalonian municipality of Cerdanyola del Vallès. The concrete structure is wrapped and protected by a low-cost exterior bioclimatic skin. By installing a greenhouse-industrialized system that opens and closes its mechanisms automatically, the solar gain and ventilation are regulated. This way, it is possible to raise the interior temperature naturally and guarantee a base of comfort in the circulation spaces as well as in the in-between spaces.

3.0 Existing Site 3.1 Historical Context

Historical Context

The proposal is located within an area rich in historical significance being located just outside the original London Wall. Prior to the Norman period this area was a mix of rural and agricultural land {the origins of the name Farringdon th mean ‘fern covered hill’) and the Smithfield area was used as a Roman Cemetery between the 15 and 4 centuries AD. During the medieval period, the expansion of London and the ensuing over-crowding led to the foundation of monastic houses outside the City walls, particularly in the Clerkenwell and the Smithfield areas.

Copperplate Map c.1550s

Ogilby and Morgan 1676-79

Farringdon Road delineates the old course of the River Fleet. This river was canalized in the late 17th century and a proliferation of wharfs and warehouses dominated its edges. In addition to its maritime activity, the surrounding area was renowned for its livestock trading, centered around Smithfield Market. By 1726 the River Fleet was largely covered over to form the twin culverts of the Fleet Sewer as far north as the former City boundary at Holborn Bridge, leaving an open channel through the Farringdon area and beyond and through the utilization of part of this channel, the world’s first underground line, the Metropolitan Railway arrived at Farringdon Street Station in 1863. The line originally ran from Farringdon to Paddington, a distance of 4 miles (6 km), but in 1865 the station was moved to its present day location when the Metropolitan Railway extended the line to Moorgate. This paved the way for the development of Smithfield Market as it stands today. Designed by Victorian architect Sir Horace Jones and opened in 1868, it allowed livestock to brought directly to the market by train. Other trades such as textiles and ironmongery also thrived throughout this market neighborhood.

R. Horwood 1792-99

Ogilby and Morgan 1676-79 Ordnance Survey 1930s

In the 1870s, the slums of Farringdon that had built up over some 300 years were cleared by driving through a number of major roads including Farringdon Road and Clerkenwell Road, however the broad urban structure created by the religious institutions and the finer grain of the historic streets are still evident today. This is juxtaposed with the extensive late C20th developments east of Aldersgate and south of Long Lane which were redeveloped after suffering extensive bomb damage during WWII.

3.0 Existing Site 3.2 History of Barbican Station

Barbican Station

The station was opened on 23rd December 1865 with the name Aldersgate Street. The station’s name was shortened to Aldersgate on 1st November 1910 and it was renamed again on 24th October 1924 to Aldersgate & Barbican. Its present name was adopted on 1st December 1968. Train services were disrupted during the Second World War when the station suffered severe bomb damage in the Blitz, particularly in December 1941. This led to the removal of the upper floors and in 1955 the remainder of the street-level building was demolished. The Thameslink platforms at Barbican Station were closed in March 2009 as part of the Thameslink Pro-gramme to allow Farringdon to have its mainline plat-forms extended across Thameslink’s Moorgate branch. As a result, Barbican is no longer a multi-modal station.

2. Track and platform 4 not in use.

Disused station

1. The enclosed nature of the site poses significant issues regarding construction. There is no potential for heavy goods access via Carthusian Street or Aldersgate Street, and Hayne Street is limited due to its narrow dimensions. The main access, therefor, must be from Long Lane, although many of these access points are privately owned by the surrounding buildings, and so, permission will need to be granted in order for the use of machinery in these areas. 2. Track and platform 4 not in use. This track used to provide Thameslink services but is no longer in use. It is undecided as to whether the track will ever be used again but it is important that it be maintained in case the decision is made to reinstate it. 3. The minimum platform width is defined by the speed of the servicing trains. The ‘S’ Stock trains travel at a maximum of 100mph and so the minimum width is 2.5m from the edge of the platform to the face of the nearest building structure or platform furniture.

Barbican Station Structural Support

Retaining Wall is a structure designed and constructed to resist the lateral pressure of soil to serve a desired change in ground elevation. On site we have a gravity wall in place, the actual columns are supporting the retaining walls, the strength of brick columns: Assuming the dimensions of the brick columns between each arch are 2.5m x 0.9m = 2.25m = 2,250,000mm > 945kN can be taken by each column. Strength of ground below: I assumed that below each column is a stepping base that spreads load out 300mm such that the area transferred onto London Clay is 3m x 1.5m = 4.5m > 450kN So the limiting factor is more the ground than the load possible by the column, therefore concrete piling is proposed to reinforce it. No Build Zone. The lowest potential building line is defined by the height dimension of the TFL tube stock plus 50mm clearance. The TFL tube stock which run through this station are S7 and S8, and have a height dimension of 3680mm. Therefore, the minimum building line is positioned at 3720mm above the train track level.

Gravity walls depend on the weight of their mass to resist pressures from behind and will sometimes have an increased footprint, to improve stability.

4.0 Design Proposal 4.1 Design Development and Consultation

Design Development

The design proposal has been developed using the following criteria: 1. High level thinking around the Decentralized Energy Capacity Study by the GLA and how it can inform a new type of architectural infrastructural hybrid. 2. ARUP’s study of infrastructure costs as two options, one a centralized model and two a hybrid. This report concentrates on the design within a ‘hybrid’ scenario, where cities will become increasingly more efficient and self-sufficient and therefore less reliant on national networks – even though national networks will retain a role in delivering energy supply. This scenario would support Mayor plans to supply 25% of London’s energy requirements according to a decentralized model by 2025. Physical and legislative site constraints with which opportunities arise. 3. The combination of a series of complex systems of relationships both in a programmatic and functional way and in an experiential, emotive and social way all based around a new form of heat and energy utilization. 4. Sustainable technology that can be easily identifiable by the public in scale and complexity. 5. The realization that the strength of the project is only possible when collaboration takes place across scales and professions.

4.0 Design Proposal 4.2 Proposed Demolition

Proposed Demolition

In conversations with the developers of the Crossrail Farringdon stations it was revealed that TFL owned and partly occupied all buildings within the demarcated site. TFL plans to redevelop the site over the coming decade in order to meet the new demand brought on by the arrival of Crossrail. The Site was originally going to be re-developed as I have indicated in 2015 but due to a tenant issue has had to be delayed until 2019. Work has gone ahead on the Crossrail Farringdon East Ticket Hall mixed development. My proposal disregards this Ticket Hall development and assumes the site is developed as originally proposed. Therefore all buildings in the area are to be demolished to allow for the proposal, special attention needs to be given to the preservation of the existing listed buildings.

Preserve Listed buildings

CONSIDERATIONS

• LU rail lines which pass under the northern boundary of

31

the site will remain operational during Crossrail works. As such, design of the works must ensure that the railway operations are fully protected; The LU Moorgate Branch railway cutting divides the site. This railway is temporarily disused and requires removal and reconstruction to facilitate construction of the new proposal. When works are complete the Moorgate branch will be brought back into use as a rail siding. The design of the proposal has to be cognizant of the LU Moorgate branch requirements such as minimum vertical and horizontal clearances; The basement of the Grade II Listed Smithfield Market extends to the western boundary of the site. Works must minimize any interventions to the historic fabric of the building; Lindsey Street & Hayne Street bridges to the west and the east of the site are both Victorian bridge structures over the LU rail lines. The proposal has been designed specifically to avoid placing loads onto these historic structures to avoid any risk of compromising their structural integrity. Limits of Deviation both horizontal and vertical as defined by the Crossrail Act restrict the bulk and massing of the building that can be constructed on site;

Saving significant time and money for all parties involved.


4.0 Design Proposal 4.4 Design Considerations

Design Considerations

DESIGN FOR DISASSEMBLY AND REUSE Cost of demolition is currently €20-30/m2. On-site sorting processes can generate ~20% disposal cost-savings, and much higher recycling and re-use rates. Recycling of metals slows depletion of natural resources, avoids mine waste products, and it decreases energy demand up to 90%, in respect to metal from-ore production. DESIGN FOR WASTE MINIMALIZATION Modular construction and fastening technologies (zarkopanen, blue casco) can reduce costs and construction time. Avoid “Double payment” of overordered materials by coordinating with suppliers for ‘just in time delivery’. Savings could amount to 3% of total construction costs, and minimized site-generated waste. OPTIMIZE WATER COLLECTION AND USE Collection and use of rain water for toilets could save 25% of overall water use, reducing strain on municipal sewage infrastructure. On-site water treatment could earn exemptions or reduced costs on municipal infrastructure fees. DESIGN WITH ENERGY USE IN MIND The incorporation of phase change materials, combined with optimal orientation and shape of building for passive energy could save up to 30% in annual energy savings. Onsite biodigestion can convert all organic waste into biogas, heat, clean water, and nutrients which can be used on-site. Provide in-house services like laundry, babysitting, and private showers to reduce unnecessary transportation and promote productivity. FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTIVE DESIGNS Building components should be easy to replace and upgrade. The investment of an additional 3% of project costs in the design phase can reduce construction costs by 10%, and make maintenance easier during the use phase. “Flexible building services” could save an organization up to €750 per moved person per year. This strategy can also provide higher value for sub-leasing.

5.0 Structural Report 5.1 Architectural Intent

Architectural Intent

The proposal is a hybridization of open plan market infrastructure and a self-sustaining, off-grid neighborhood of bio-climatically enclosed properties.

Section

The main structural principles can be divided into three separate elements, a large solid concrete ground and first floor connected by elegant concrete columns at seemingly random spacings, a forest of timber households that utilize standardized timber elements as structural walls and floors whilst acting as screening devices, and a transparent lightweight steel and glass envelope that acts as a climate control device.

5.0 Structural Report 5.2 Primary Structure

Primary Structure

Base Structure

This page sets out the range in materials and finishes to be used, how the timber is joined and to reiterate that no metal fixings are to be used in the structural joinery of the primary, secondary systems. Post and beam forms of construction tend to use columns and beams joined together with nominally pinned connections using steel plates and metal fasteners. However, with this project only timber to timber connections will be used for the project.

an absorbent applicator. Excess release agent should be mopped up and wiped away as this causes surface dusting and retardation and the removal of the surface skin of concrete on striking of the shutters. An alternative release agent, preferred by the contractor, to be tested on the sample panel along with Chemlease OF, to check for best results. HEATING PIPES Position heating conduits above the polythene and insulation, and within the concrete topping. Support the conduits on concrete spacers to allow a 25mm gap, for the concrete to pass below it. When the heating pipe work has been installed, place the anti-crack mesh for the topping slab supported on continuous wire chairs to create a rigid stable surface on which to walk on. This is important as it will prevent accidental damage or disturbance to pipe work below, during concreting operations.

FORMED CONCRETE FINISHES The specification describes the concrete mix parameters, the workmanship and the assembly of plain smooth concrete walls, columns and slab soffits to ensure a fine consistent, concrete surface finish. The wall, soffit and stairs and landings to have a plain, smooth, matt surface finish. The ponds at and below waterline to have smooth silk like surface finish with a slight sheen. FORMWORK MATERIALS Wall Form Face, Columns, Slab Soffits and Stairs Use 18mm thick MDO Film Faced ply, typically WISA MDO, Pourform 107 MDO, Tulsa Form MDO, Crown 44 and Ultraform MDO for example which all are a good quality FSO grade ply. There are some MDO brands that are not suitable because of their poor dimensional accuracy and tolerance and paper film quality. The proposed MDO sheet will be assessed for quality and integrity of finish by site trials before being approved. Submit MDO sample with technical literature for inspection and acceptance. The face film must not be wrinkled nor heavily marked with mottling, the sheet shall not be bowed nor curled at the ends under prolonged rainfall and must remain stable and flat when laid out and fixed in place.

SURFACE APPEARANCE A hard silky and smooth surface finish, sometimes with a tortoise shell coloration with several passes of the trowel blade, or a very fine tonal coloration like freckled porcelain with a few passes of the trowel blade. The number of passes is determined by floor condition, air temperate and rate of hardening. It is always best to complete an entire room or passageway or areas on the same day to create the same surface coloration. Hand trowelled edges may look lighter in colour with less dark tonal depth. IDIN Architects - Burasiri

SURFACE PROTECTION Lay polythene sheets over the coated surface, the day after. Make sure it is in contact with the surface with no air gaps and all the edges are held down with timbers to avoid them being blown open. Cover the polythene surface with protective cardboard or thick plastic sheets to prevent damage to the concrete while other work is in progress.

CONCRETE SURFACE SEALER Apply one coat, brush applied or spray applied, water- based Facael Oleo This is a non solvent based product suitable for enclosed spaces. Alternatives are Silane or Siloxane based coatings, for example Keim Lotexan, but they are solvent based. SURFACE TOLERANCES AND ACCEPTABLE FINISH The concrete should be assessed for compliance seen from 3metres away or from 1.5m in special locations such as staircase and entrances seen at eye level. The general appearance of a large soffit area seen as whole should look acceptable with only minor surface defects or imperfections. RELEASE AGENT Apply one even film coat of Nufins Chemlease O.F. (odour free) depending on timber absorbency, using the appropriate Nufins spray equipment or 45

Statement of Materials and Finishes

FINAL CLEAN After removing the floor protection towards the end of the contract, lightly polish and clean to redeem the original surface using a single head heavy duty floor cleaner. Immediately after polishing, apply DK surface colour enhancer coat or Nufins Cure Coat Super. Francisco Mangado - Zaragoza Pavilion


5.0 Structural Report 5.3 Structural Principals

Structural Principals Ground Floor Principals The ground floor will be predominately concrete floors and columns, utilizing as reconstituted material from the demolition. The floors have large circular elements that act as light-wells creating focal points for the public. The floor slab and ground floor react to and interact with light, the staggered concrete cast slab helps to transfer the loads towards the enlarged concrete columns. The slab creates the sense of walking through a landscape instead of acting as roof. The staggered slab helps to direct light and mitigate noise from the market.

5.0 Structural Report 5.4 Secondary Structure

Secondary Structure

Structural precedent

Green Oak (primary structure generally) Finish: Untreated External structure will be subjected to the weather but not in permanent contact with the soil and/ or water German Building Technology Institute (DIBt) DIN 68800 standard specifies the use of dark-colored heartwood e.g.. afzelia, ekki, oak, greenheart in these conditions. These types of wood do not require preservative treatment against insects, fungi, leaching or soft rot.

This page sets out the range in section sizes to be used, how the timber is joined and to reiterate that no metal fixings are to be used in the structural joinery of the primary, secondary systems. Post and beam forms of construction tend to use columns and beams joined together with nominally pinned connections using steel plates and metal fasteners. However, with this project only timber to timber connections will be used for the project. TYPES/LENGTHS: The types and lengths of the timbers are determined by access to site, as Farringdons roads are narrow and congested access can only be gained via a standard rigid axel truck with length no longer than 11,7m and a load length of up to 9m.

Tadao Ando - Komyo-ji-Saijo Temple

BEAM/COLUMN TYPES: The design will require two types of beams that of the horizontal beam (A) and beams that are wider than the normally available laminate widths (B) which will need to be manufactured for the different widths side by side and used reversing layers so that there is an overlap and no straight through vertical joint

Douglas Fir (secondary structure generally) Finish: Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain: White 900 Secondary structure requires a wood preservative with test certificate Iv, P, W1 to prevent against insects, fungi, leaching or soft rot. The stain will highlight the naturally strong reddish grain in the timber. This will fade with prolonged exposure to sunlight, turning silver grey color. Douglas Fir (exposed structure to habitable spaces generally) Finish: Osmo Natural Oil Woodstain: White 900 Exposed structure to habitable spaces (internal) to be finished in a light stain to highlight out reddish grain in douglas fir, and a darker stain to the already light beech multiply. In an internal environment Douglas fir requires no preservation treatment. The contractor is required to supply samples of both one and two coats of specified finish on specified materials for Architect sign off prior to work commencing

SIZES: The sizes of beams include: 150,50mm, 50,150mm, 50x50mm The sizes of Columns include: 150,50mm, 200,50mm, Composite 150mm,50mm x 4

Oak (cladding External Finish) Finish: Untreated Exterior of the housing will be subjected to sun degradation but not in permanent contact with the soil and/or water, as with the structure this material will not require preservation treatment.

FINISH: All surfaces are to be fully planed or sanded, and consistent with the structural restrictions of the strength grades. The appearance of the timber must be in line with BS 4169 “Intermediate� Appearance Class. The appearance must also correspond with the appearance of the timber type, exposing and making clear the varieties seen within the building and not covering over all timber so as to look

5.0 Structural Report 5.5 Structural Principals

Proposed Structural Principals

The structure of the households should be completely integral to the design. The walls consist of standardized timber planks. Every element of the internal fit-out will integrate into this structuring device. CARPENTRY JOINTS: A handful of traditional Japanese timber joints have been selected to create the concept for the structural post to beam primary structure, namely: 1. Wedge Table Slice Joint 2. Lapped Gooseneck timber Joint 3. Base timber to stone joint Boards and smaller sections to be rift sawn to display a uniform basic grain pattern on all four sides. Larger hardwood sections to be squared heartwood or quartered squared. Each length to be selected carefully and checked for warping. See specification for acceptable tolerances.

Key Principles

Demonstrating leadership in climate change mitigation, London has implemented targets that go beyond those at national and international level. In October 2011, the Mayor of London published his revised Climate Change Mitigation and Energy (CCME) strategy, entitled ‘Delivering London’s Energy Future’. The strategy focuses on reducing carbon dioxide emissions to mitigate climate change, securing a low carbon energy supply for London, and transforming London into a thriving low carbon capital. The CCME strategy reiterates the Mayor’s target to source 25% of London’s energy supply from decentralized energy sources by 2025. At the national level, through the passing of the Climate Change Act 2008 the UK set legally binding targets to cut its net carbon dioxide emissions to at least 80% lower than the 1990 emissions by 2050, with at least 34% reduction to be achieved by 2020. Further to this, the 2009 Renewable Energy Directive sets the UK a legal commitment to source at least 15% of its energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020, while the 2010 Energy Performance of Buildings Directive requires all new buildings developed from 2021 to be nearly zero energy buildings. Under these agreements the UK government has implemented a series of policies and tools to meet these obligations. With energy at the heart of our major cities’ transformation to sustainable, resilient low carbon communities, the delivery of new energy infrastructure will be critical to securing our energy future. It is in this context that the proposal has been envisioned.

6.0 Building Services 6.2 Decentralized Energy Policy

Decentralized Energy Policy

Heat remains the single biggest reason we use energy in our society. We use more energy for heating than for transport or the generation of electricity. The vast majority of our heat is produced by burning fossil fuels - around 80% from gas alone - and as a result heat is responsible for around a third of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions. This is unsustainable. If London is to play its part in the global effort to combat climate change, we will need our buildings to be virtually zero carbon by 2050. The transformation of our heat generation and heat use will require and create new markets and new opportunities. Heat networks operating as part of a decentralized energy system have the potential to supply market competitive low to zero carbon energy in dense urban areas whilst providing long-term flexibility to accommodate new and emerging heat production technology and energy sources.

Making Business Sense of Waste: The Mayor’s Business Waste Management Strategy 2012

Making Business Sense of Waste tackles London’s increasing problem of business waste, both from the commercial and industrial (C&I) and construction, demolition and excavation (CDE). The Mayor hopes to achieve a 70% reuse, recycling and composting rate of C&I waste by 2020 and a 95% rate of CDE within the same time.

Planning Policy Statement 10 (PPS10) 2005

Planning Policy Statement 10 (PPS10) sets out the Government’s policy to be taken into account by waste planning authorities and Type 2 Network Profile forms part of the national waste management plan for the UK. The statement sets out a suggested national policy framework for waste management to: • Drive waste management up the hierarchy; • Provide sufficient and timely provision for waste management facilities that meet the needs • of their communities; • Ensure the recovery and disposal of waste does not harm human health or the environment; • Ensure waste is disposed of as near as possible to the place of production; • Ensure the concerns and interests of local communities and the needs of the waste • Collection/disposal authorities and business is reflected and encourages competition;

Key Waste Policies from the London plan are as follows: • Moving towards regional self-sufficiency in London, with a long term target of ensuring that facilities with sufficient capacity to manage 85% of waste arising in London are provided by 2020; Type 3 Network Schematic • Minimising the level of waste generated and increasing the re-use Type 4 Network Schematic and recycling and composting on waste; • Safeguarding all existing waste management sites (this has particular relevance in respect of the existing Hendon Waste Transfer facility); • Requiring the provision of suitable waste and recycling storage facilities in all new developments; • Supporting treatment facilities to recover value from residual waste; Type 4 Network Profile • Where waste cannot be dealt with locally, promote waste facilities Type 3 Network Profile that have good access to water or rail transport; • Minimising the amount of energy used in the collection, transfer, movement and management of waste in line with the Mayor’s target of reducing carbon emissions; • Promoting generation of renewable energy and renewable hydrogen; • Minimising transport impacts from collection and transfer and movement of wastes to facilities within and outside London; • Exceeding recycling or composting levels in municipal waste of 35% by 2010; and 45% by 2015; • Achieving recycling or composting levels in commercial and industrial waste of 70% by 2020;

6.0 Building Services 6.6 Proposed Building Energy Overview

Energy Overview

Urban Farming + Rainwater collection

In order to reduce the carbon offset of the building the entire roofscape immediately above the households will be covered in solar arrays. Given the total roof space above the households equates to 2500m2, and the sites geographic location and orientation, it was calculated that the proposal could harvest 302,500kwh per year. 33% of that energy is used to supply the households and 67% is utilized to offset the requirements of the market/retail space below. Due to the open nature and low energy requirements of the proposal it is estimated that the required energy demands for the households could be reduced even further. The Housing is heated by the underground system of Crossrail and Barbican. The current crossrail system has been built with the heat exchanger but currently expels this heat to the outside, Barbican will be retrofitted with heat exchangers once it has been built over.

6.0 Building Services 6.7 Proposed Building Water Overview

Water Overview

The total roof area equates to approximately 8500m2 and is capable of capturing 6700000L of rainwater a year. Traditionally that water would enter straight into the stormwater system, however due to the rising threat of flooding and need to preserve water, it will be captured in storage tanks above the households and slowly filtered down through the planting system of the shared internal garden, the water supports a fish ecosystem whilst providing evaporative cooling for the inhabitants. Eventually ending in the evaporative cooling ponds on the ground floor. From there it can then enter the city storm-water system. Rainwater harvesting above every household

The harvested water will provide most of if not all the greywater requirements for the proposal (toilet, household cleaning) Potable water will still need to be sourced from traditional means, however the dis-used underground station provides the perfect opportunity to integrate an on-site water treatment plant. The water pools are an essential part of the cooling of the entire building. Saving valuable energy resources. Electricity

7.0 Construction Management Plan 7.1 Introduction

Introduction

A Construction Management Plan has been created which addresses salient issues that might arise during the construction phase of the project and how these will be managed on site so as to mitigate the impact to adjoining owners, businesses, residents and the wider public who will be in the immediate vicinity of the works whilst they are being undertaken.

Phase 1: Ground slab is poured with landscaped elements and lightwells in place. Barbican Station is covered. New exits for Crossrail and Barbican Station created.

Phase 2: Concrete Column and First floor slab created. New connections to existing grade 2 listed buildings created. New sky bridge Connection to Barbican Centre. Lightwells created.

MASTERPLAN OF PHASING The project is split into four major construction phases. • Phase 1: Ground slab is poured with landscaped elements and lightwells in place. Barbican Station is covered. New exits for Crossrail and Barbican Station. • Phase 2: Concrete Column and First floor slab created. New connections to existing grade 2 listed buildings created. Sky bridge Connection to Barbican Centre. Lightwells created. • Phase 3: Ceiling and sid facade added to upper level. Allowing for a dry work environment within. Roof to be temporarily supported until wooden housing units added. • Phase 4: Internal Fit-out of Market below and Housing units above. Temporary support structure for roof removed being replaced by new timber housing units

After Phase 2 services to underground stations can resume. Phase 3 encloses the entire site allowing for construction of internal fit-out to occur in any weather conditions. Reducing time and risk of construction.

Phase 3: Ceiling and sid facade added to upper level. Allowing for a dry work environment within. Roof to be temporarily supported until wooden housing units added.

Phase 4: Internal Fit-out of Market below and Housing units above. Temporary support structure for roof removed being replaced by new timber housing units.

7.0 Construction Management Plan 7.2 Important Issues

Important Issues

CONTROLLING TRAFFIC AT PEAK HOURS Construction traffic will be programmed so as to avoid school drop off and pickup. Large deliveries will also be programmed to avoid lunch hour rush between 13:00 and 14:30 hrs. A delivery plan will be produced by the contractor to ensure that deliveries arrive at the correct part of site at the correct time. Instructions explaining such a plan will be sent to all suppliers and contractors. Where possible, the site will operate a just in time methodology to avoid bulky materials being stored on site an causing traffic issues. LOGISTICS Swept Path Analysis will be undertaken to determine appropriate vehicle sizes. At this stage calculations have made use of a 3-fixed axel 12m truck. If possible, a micropile drilling rig will be used so as to avoid large and loud machinery being used for substructure works. Other design considerations include the use of shorter span items to be delivered to site i.e. 9m and below. This will negate the need for long articulated lorries moving through Farringdon. HIGHWAYS CONSIDERATIONS There is no parking adjacent to the site. Principal access to the site is from Goswell Road. The site access will remain from Goswell Road for large deliveries. It is intended that the remainder of the site will be accessible from Long Lane and Charter house street and used by contractor vehicle parking and smaller deliveries where possible. Lindsey street will be temporarily closed in order to provide a goods drop-off and site office location. LAYOFF SPACES Lindsey street will be temporarily closed in order to provide a goods drop-off and site office location. With Sub contractors and smaller vehicles accessing the site via the Charter House Street. During Phase 2 the layoff space for larger vehicles will be off of Long Lane within the site boundary with additional loading areas on the corner of Long Lane and Goswell Road which will be restricted to public access.

61

NOISE Construction noise will be monitored for the duration of the works, until such time that the permanent cladding is completed. Monitoring will be located as per agreement with City Council. This location is expected to be representative of noise impacts at each of the site boundaries due to the proposed activities and the development footprint. Vibration will be monitored continuously through the works as piling activities are planned. There will be boundary monitoring units installed as agreement with City Council, which will continuously monitor noise and vibration levels.


7.0 Construction Management Plan 7.3 Suspension of Existing Public Utilities

Suspension of Existing Public Utilities

This section demonstrates how the impact of the projects activities will be managed / mitigated in relation to vulnerable road users. The pedestrian walk way surrounding site will be underneath a scaffold tunnel. Ensuring no member of the public will be injured when walking the perimeter of site, this scaffold walkway leads to a pelican crossing from what will be the station entrance on Long Lane to Charterhouse Street as requested by the City of London. The use of the adjacent Smithfield’s market is acknowledged, with customers mainly attending the facility between the hours of 21:00 and 07:00. This high frequency shouldn’t effect site works, however the market is still operational until 0800 and Smithfield’s will still receive visitors throughout the day. To combat a pit lane is created which allows the vehicles to park and pass on Lindsey Street. The refuse storage and collection facilities have been agreed with the City’s Waste and Amenity Planning Manager. L.B. Islington queried the lorry movement forecasts both in the construction and operational stages. These will be subject to further examination when a construction management plan and more detailed transport analysis information would be the subject of conditions. The increase in both pedestrian and vehicular activity generated by the new station is acknowledged by Crossrail. This increased activity would be addressed by a programme of local street enhancement and highway works surrounding the site which is currently being developed by Crossrail and the City’s Environmental Enhancement Team.

7.0 Construction Management Plan 7.4 Temporary Works

Site Establishment and Welfare

The site establishment and welfare strategy will evolve during the time-frame of the development, however the following principles should be adhered to regardless of the stage of the construction works: • The site will be secured with adequate hoarding and barriers as required during each stage of the works. • A 2400mm high timber hoarding will be erected along the site boundary with the existing highway and this will be adequately lit, maintained and adapted during the contract to suit the phasing of the works. • Access into the site will be controlled via dedicated access and egress points into the site that will be manned by site security operatives at all times. An identification swipe card system will be utilized to allow operatives and visitors to gain access to and from the site. • The site welfare and office location is to be contained within the footprint of the site. Possibly to locate within retained buildings across from charterhouse square. TFL to confirm. • As the project develops the location of the site welfare and offices is likely to evolve and could potentially migrate Under the completed floor slab. • Safe pedestrian routes will be provided within the site between the temporary accommodation and the site working areas. • Flood lighting in areas adjacent to sensitive receptors (i.e. nearby retail and residential properties) will generally be limited to the working hours. Additionally, site lighting will be kept to a minimum taking into account the needs of site health, safety and security, although safety lighting will be retained during non-working hours as required to make the site safe. • All pedestrian and vehicular gates will be maintained by security officers during working hours.

63

Prior to commencement on site, notification will be given to the following parties to obtain the relevant permissions required for the proposed welfare and logistics strategy:

• City of London regarding Highways, footpaths, scaffold • • • •

and hoarding; Local Police; Adjoining neighbors; City of London Environmental Health Officer; Public Utilities Companies, with regard to the disconnection of existing services and commissioning of the necessary temporary supplies;

Crane Logistics

• Flood lighting in areas adjacent to sensitive receptors (i.e. nearby retail and residential properties) will generally be limited to the working hours. Additionally, site lighting will be kept to a minimum taking into account the needs of site health, safety and security, although safety lighting will be retained during non-working hours as required to make the site safe.

This section identifies the management of all lifting activities on the project. This is not intended to replace the strategic lift plan but to complement it and be used by those who may not have the need or a strategic lift may plan i.e. housing fit out.

• All pedestrian and vehicular gates will be maintained by security officers during working hours. • Prior to commencement on site, notification will be given to the following parties to obtain the relevant Park at 18m permissions required for the proposed welfare and 6.0te t0 25m logistics strategy: • Westminster City Council (WCC) regarding Highways, 3.7te t0 40m at 18mhoarding; footpaths, scaffold Park and

6.0te t0 25m

• The site welfare and office location is to be contained 3.7te t0 40m within the footprint of the site, however there may be the opportunity to locate office and welfare facilities on 2.0te t0 50m a gantry structure to either Peter Street, Ingestre Place Indicative crane layout and/or Brewer Street. The potential for this would need to be discussed with WCC. In addition there may be the opportunity to locate the site project offices within the retained building to the back of the site for Phase 1 and within Phase 1 building for Phase 2 subject to agreement with the client.

allocation will occur with a weekly meeting, with both the crane supervisor and Logistics Company. Prior to attending the meeting all lift plans should be in place for the lift, and co-ordination with deliveries will be essential to avoid materials ‘cluttering’ the site. Mobile cranes: Are not planned to be used on the site however will be reviewed for the erection of the tower crane and the installation of roof level. Tower cranes: There will be one tower crane sited on Lindsey Street. The second Crane will be at the corner of Goswell Road and Long Lane. The third in between the two if necessary. To be confirmed by contractor. Lifting plan: For every lifting operation a lifting plan will be required. There will be a schedule of generic lifts, however all lifts outside of these will need a specific lift plan. All lift plans will need to be approved by the crane coordinator and another mace personnel. Unloading areas will be managed by the banksman and Logistics Team located in the areas of the Pit Lane Oversailing – There is no need for an agreement to Oversail any adjacent properties as the Crane proposed will be locked off at a radius of some 6 to 10 meters which is within the confines of the existing boundary. Hoisting – The current proposal is to locate the hoist on the Charterhouse Street elevation at ground level and from there service all levels up to and including the roof.

• As the project develops the location of the site welfare and offices is likely to evolve and could potentially migrate into one of the newly formed buildings and / or the newly formed basements areas in the later stages of the development. • Safe pedestrian routes will be provided within the site between the temporary accommodation and the site

8.0 Designer Risk Report 8.1 Construction Environmental Management Plan

Construction Environmental Managment Plan

This core document has been prepared in relation to condition 2 of planning permission 13/00605/FULEIA and defines the procedures for achieving the objectives set out in the Company Environmental Policy and any identified environmental performance targets for the project. This document also incorporates details of the community liaison strategy for the project as per City of London Construction Code of Practice. The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) provides the framework for which commitments made in an Environmental Statement or any requirements of planning conditions or Section 106 agreements can be realized. It outlines the approach to environmental management throughout the construction phases with the primary aim of reducing any adverse impacts from construction on the environment and improving the overall environmental performance of Mace. This document provides the scheme for protecting nearby residents and commercial occupiers from noise, dust and other environmental effects in relation to condition 2 of planning permission 13/00605/FULEIA. Planning conditions for the site requires such a scheme be submitted and approved in writing by the Local Planning Authority prior to any construction work taking place on the site. The scheme shall be based on the City Council Code of Practice for Construction Sites (‘the Code of Practice’) and arrangements for liaison. ENERGY Following the Completion Date but prior to Occupation the Owner shall confirm that the Energy Statement has been implemented or shall undertake and submit to the City Corporation an assessment of the carbon dioxide emissions of the completed Development so as to calculate the reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide (expressed in tonnes) which reflects the Development’s annual carbon

dioxide emissions which it is calculated will be achieved by the implementation of carbon reduction measures. CYCLE RACKS Before the first occupation of the building a minimum of 150 permanently installed pedal cycle racks shall be provided and then maintained on site throughout the lifetime of the building. The on site provision shall remain ancillary to the use of the building and must be for the sole use of the occupiers of the building and their visitors without charge to the individual end users. HOARDING/ The hoarding will be of a minimal height of 2.44M in height and will be from plywood suitable for lasting the 90 week duration. Guideline for the timber to be used can be identified in the City of London CoCP document.The hoarding will have safety lighting which will have activated half an hour after sunset and half an hour before sunrise. There will also be lighting on the road site to illuminate the baulk kicker (painted in red and white). Gates (although not shown on the images), will open into the site and suitably sized to allow for access of equipment and deliveries. The hoarding will be white in colour, the hoarding will also have a display / contact board for the relevant health and safety signage, there will also be an updated information newsletter that will be displayed on the hoarding notice board and posted to the locals highlighting progress to date and future upcoming works. The contact board will also have the contact details of those in charge and out of hours contact. WASTE AND MATERIALS Waste minimisation methods will be utilised, however any ‘waste’ materials generated will be re-used or recycled

where possible. Reuse will occur within the project where possible, but beneficial reuse of materials on other projects will also be considered. A separate Site Waste Management Plan (SWMP) in BRE Smartwaste format shall be developed and maintained for the VBR project. This plan shall have precedence with regards to waste management activities and will be produced and updated a minimum every 6 months by the Environmental Champion in conjunction with the Environment Manager. The plan has been produced in accordance with the Site Waste Management Plans Regulations 2008 with the Non-Statutory Guidance for Site Waste Management Plans prepared by DEFRA in April 2008. Prior to the start of works, opportunities to adopt the waste minimisation methods will be reviewed with the construction team to assist in meeting or exceeding the project KPIs. In addition opportunities for procuring materials that can be taken back by the supplier or reused elsewhere, have a low carbon footprint or have environmental beneficial aspects. In addition the Plan will seek to identify opportunities to implement the waste minimisation methodology and avoid waste to landfill. It will outline how to manage demolition/construction wastes generated at the worksites, so far as reasonably practicable, in accordance with the national waste hierarchy and within the relevant regulatory controls and cost restraints WASTE MANAGEMENT CONTROLS The following waste will be segregated: • Hazardous (any waste which contains high levels of chemicals, identified in testing process) • General uncontaminated construction and demolition waste Due to site space constraints waste will be collected under a ‘wait and load scenario’ and segregated offsite.

Conservatory, 1 Long Ln, Barbican, London EC1A 9HA l Design Principals document

8.0 Designer Risk Report 8.1 Construction Environmental Management Plan

210L bins will be located on each floor of the site and collected on the allocated day. No hazardous material will be generated following the removal of asbestos and the oil tank located in the basement of the site. All gypsum will be separated from general waste and disposed of in accordance with legislation. Where practicable other waste types shall be segregated, such as metals and clean timber. The following measures will be taken to avoid disposal of materials: • storage in an appropriately dedicated area to prevent spoilage, damage and contamination • training to construction team on the importance of correct ordering of materials so as to avoid excess materials • review packaging requirements where possible to avoid, reduce and reuse offsite manufacturing NOISE, DUST AND OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS Development shall not commence until a scheme for protecting nearby residents and commercial occupiers from noise, dust and other environmental effects during construction works has been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority. The scheme shall be based on the Code of Practice for Deconstruction and Construction Sites adopted by the Council. Construction work shall be carried out in accordance with the approved scheme. Construction noise will be monitored for the duration of the works, until such time that the permanent cladding is completed. Monitoring will be located as per agreement with City Council. This location is expected to be representative of noise impacts at each of the site boundaries due to the proposed activities and the development footprint. Vibration will be monitored continuously through the works as piling activities are planned under the Mace remit. There will be boundary monitoring units installed as agreement with City Council.

67

The following precautions will be made to minimise nuisance to the public and neighbouring occupiers caused by noise. • Noise shall be reduced by the use of silencing devices at all times and noisy operations shall be in accordance with the Party Wall Agreement and Local Authority requirements. • All loading, unloading and deliveries of materials and plant to the site and removal of waste should, where possible, be carried out within normal site working hours. • Utilisation of the right machine for the right job ensuring that plant is not under-powered to carry out the task and hence, generating more noise or more vibration than necessary. • Use of modern intrinsically compliant plant and equipment ensuring noise and vibration levels are minimised at the outset (all equipment must comply with the EC Directives and UK Regulations set out in BS 5228-1 :2009); • Use of physical barriers (of at least 5 kg/m2 surface density), for example, hoarding, monoflex covering on scaffold to reduce noise emissions • Siting of stationary plant and loading/unloading areas away from site boundaries and/ or within screened areas; • Using electrically powered equipment run from the mains supply where available is preferred to using generators to power plant and equipment • Use of screws and drills rather than nails for fixing hoardings etc; • Careful handling of materials & waste such as lowering rather than dropping items; • Avoidance of unnecessary noise (such as engines idling between operations, shouting, loud radios or excessive revving of engines) by effective site management. • Pre and post task reviews of working practices and ensuring noise risk is addressed and reduced to acceptable levels

PESTS The control of pests in and around the site is a key responsibility of the contractor when planning works and caring for the workforce and neighbours. The crucial factor in pest management is investing in prevention and restricting the opportunities for pests such rats and mice to thrive. This should be achievable by eliminating food sources and nesting sites which can be achieved through good housekeeping and management. The site is currently undergoing a period of demolition and clearance, which should drive resident rodents and other pests from site prior to the commencement of the main works, meaning the task of control should provide Mace with an opportunity to instigate control measures from a positon of strength. Therefore the control of pests will rely on Mace undertaking prevention measures by addressing the issues in the following way: • Careful control of food supplies and waste from the canteen, by disposal of waste in to secure food waste bins with securely fitted lockable lids, and the secure storage of unused food stocks; • The prohibition of eating and preparation of food anywhere on site, except the canteen where waste can be controlled, collected and disposed of; • Regular inspection and cleaning of all mess areas and zones outside welfare areas where food scraps can be inadvertently of deliberated disposed of (such as fruit peel and cores); • Spaces under cabins and stores to be sealed to prevent rodents nesting; • Regular inspection of the hoarding perimeter to remove food waste discarded over the hoarding by the general public; • Setting of bait stations to vulnerable areas; • The long term storage of materials which are vulnerable to nesting, such as insulation to be prevented and stored off the ground.


8.0 Designer Risk Report 8.2 Site Environmental Risks and Opportunities

Site Environmental Risks and Opportunities

It is a requirement of the company management system to identify the environmental risks of the works to be undertaken. Each of these identified activities are then assessed as to their significance. A site specific risk assessment has been produced. Planning for responding to incidents and emergencies is an important part of project environmental management. Emergency response and contingency plans will take account of the location of the local drainage system; requirement to engage with the emergency services, location and contents of spill kits, notification process and emergency contacts list in the event of an incident etc.

INTRODUCTION Within this chapter the buildings maintenance strategy and proposed lifespan will be detailed out. GENERAL Due to the building’s multiple uses combined with the design concept and design strategy the maintenance of the site is hugely important. The life-span of the building is 70 years for the concrete base and 30 years for the Housing above. Due to the heavy traffic that the building will experience both publicly and privately there will need to be a thorough and effective maintenance strategy for both its continued running, efficiency in output. The biggest risk here is that a Timber structure is usually recommended to have a life span of 30 years. This combined with the heavy use of mechanical services and future changing technologies means the buildings internal working must be able to adapt and be replaced, done away with or changed completely while maintaining a structural frame and housing for all the programs inside to carry on being used. The following chapter will look at four major elements within the building maintenance lifecycle. 1. Timber superstructure, 2. Listed building refurbishment, 3. Facade; and 4. Services.

Majority of damage to in-situ concrete comes from the exposure of reinforcement to the elements. Ensuring adequate cover to rebar during construction should minimize need for repairs. The nature of the enclosed development will negate the majority of damage incurred, extending the lifecycle and maintenance of the in-situ concrete. Should damage occur from impact etc. then a specialist concrete repair contractor should be called to carry out work. It will be important to keep a supply of the pigment, cement and aggregate used to prevent color variation

The structural cores and risers are designed to last a minimum of 100 years. However, lift technology has a lifespan in the range of 25-50 years and could need to be replaced sooner.

10.0 Building Control Report 10.1 Building Regulations

Building Regulations Introduction

The following chapter will touch on the importance of all the building regulations and certain strategies within the proposal. However, a more detailed report will follow. This chapter will concentrate on a particular series of the regulations that are especially relevant to the modified design proposal. PART A- STRUCTURE The construction and use of timber structure is to pay particular attention to Eurocode 5: Design of Timber structures as well as BS EN 1995-1-1:2004+A1:2008 Eurocode 5. Housing floor with water ponds

PART B- FIRE SAFETY The building contains a range of programmatic uses and so areas will be fire protected using different methods. Due to the market containing high servicing in the form of open flames the highest risk for fire is within this area. Design moves have been made to comply with regulations, resist the spread of fire and smoke and the consequential danger to people in and around the building. • Two single water supplies will be used, one connected to the municipal Thames water supply and the other an internal system from rainwater harvesting. Both make use of a pump action system in line with BS5306-2 clause 17.4.1.5. • Both the Market and Housing are separated physically through an in-situ concrete floor containing water ponds. • All structural timber has been designed to allow for charring allowing for a structural fire rating of 120min.

10.0 Building Control Report 10.2 Building Control Report

Building Control Regulations Compliance

The Approved Documents or ‘Parts’ contain general guidance on the performance expected in order to comply with the building regulations. In order to mitigate some risk, the early engagement with an Approved Inspector would be recommended. The following are key principles and design influences that respond to the different ‘Parts’.

Approved Document E — Resistance to the passage of sound The different nature of activities in the building require particular consideration for acoustic insulation. In specific, The primary Concrete slab should be designed with robust details to prevent the passage of sound from one environment to another.

Further consideration has been made to the historic status of the existing retained buildings. As the site exists in a conservation area and contains listed buildings.

Approved Document F — Ventilation Due to the increasing complexity of the Regulations, ventilation strategies and system design should be considered at the early stages of the design. The building has been designed to have “Whole Building” ventilation, providing fresh air to dilute and disperse low levels of water vapor and other pollutants, by the provision of mechanical supply ventilation, Natural ventilation should take precedent, The entire upper level is envisioned as a radiator ensuring a natural stack ventilation.

Approved Document A — Structure The primary structure of the building is a reinforced concrete frame column and in-situ concrete slab structure and Timber housing structure supporting an external envelope. Consideration would be required for high loads derived from housing above. Approved Document B — Fire Safety When calculating fire resistance period, the building has been considered as divided in two parts, Lower market and upper housing. The part of the building hosting the market is between 5-7.5m high. This part of the building needs to have a period of structural fire resistance of 120 minutes. The Housing area is taller than 15m, and therefore requires a period of structural fire resistance of 120 minutes. This will be applied to any new load-bearing elements of the structure. Approved Document C — Site preparation and resistance to contaminants and moisture As part of the enabling works, a geo-environmental survey would be undertaken to identify the ground conditions and presence of any contaminants. Approved Document D — Toxic substances Concerning the cavity insulation used within the new build, reasonable precautions shall be taken to prevent the subsequent permeation of an toxic fumes from the material into any part of the building occupied by the people.

81

Approved Document G — Sanitation, hot water safety and water efficiency The design of the services related to Part G should be completed by a MEP Engineer. Together with supply of domestic hot and cold water, and toilets throughout the building, consideration should be taken for rainwater capture and filtration in its utilization for evaporative cooling. Approved Document H — Drainage and waste disposal This document covers details of foul water drainage, both above and below ground, pipe sizes, protection of pipes, manholes and inspection chambers. The design of these elements should be serviceable and adequately sized. Approved Document J — Combustion appliances and fuel storage systems Considerations would be ensuring no built up of carbon monoxide and flue duct routes from any fuel burning market stall and household cooking devices.

11.0 Appropriate Design Guideline Report 11.1 Introduction

Guidelines

Due to the building’s multiple programs and complex relationship between programs the following guidelines have been adopted and adhered to:

UN SDG Goals 2030

1. BREEAM for sustainable measures of building and use 2. CELSIUS for heat capture/utilization and district heating. 3. BCO for retail, market offices and lobbies 4. Health and Safety for where people eat and work 5. London Housing Design Guide 6. HSG129 for the energy/waste plan; and 7. Security and crowd control. 1. BREEAM The building as seen in Chapter 7 in more detail has been designed to address the UN Goals for 2030 namely with the reuse and sustainable use of waste, energy, pollution, water and management. The building’s uses are designed with BREEAM and CEEQUAL for its infrastructural scale and uses around heat capture and utilization, BREEAM as Refurbishment and fit out and new construction.

BREEAM Goals

The proposal is also developed in line with the guidance from CELSIUS (a partnership of five EU cities and aims to demonstrate how the efficiency and performance of district heating systems can be improved by focusing on the opportunity that they offer for capturing and utilizing sources of waste heat that are generated within cities, CELSIUS were instrumental in the development of the Bunhill energy centers that the proposition connects to) The ultimate goal of the proposal is to go above and beyond the guidelines related to sustainability, it seeks to question and push the limits of how we envision sustainability. Resulting in a building that utilizes energy in a new and exciting manner, seeing it as a valuable resource instead of a simple design consideration.

13.0 Procurement Report 12.3 Procurement Method

Procurement Method

In the traditional approach, the client accepts that consultants are appointed for design, cost control, and contract administration, and that the contractor is responsible for carrying out the Works. The responsibility of the latter extends to all workmanship and materials, including work by subcontractors and suppliers. In some cases the client will select some of the sub-contractors to be engaged by the contractor (variously referred to as named, nominated, or preselected). In such cases the contractor may take full responsibility for their performance, or the contractor’s responsibility may be limited in some way, in which case a collateral warranty between client and subcontractor will be essential. The contractor is usually chosen after competitive tendering on documents giving complete information. However, the contractor can be appointed earlier, either through negotiation or on the basis of partial or notional information. This gives the client and architect ultimate control over the realization of the proposal which is paramount in the given situation. However, because of the physical size, complexity in ownership, capital costs and time scale of the project it is proposed to use the design and build. Included in the work the majority of the work will be completed as Shell & Core with Reserve Matter Applications for phases of the project to be built over the period between 2018- 2030.
