Introduction
This project was appointed through recommendation of services
from Robert Brown of Plymouth University. The point of contact,
Rebecca Weale, is a representative of the Shebbear Village Hall
Community Group whom requires a Cafe extension to be constructed
from the South-West elevation of the existing Village Hall.
The Cafe will be used as a multi-functional space intended to
accommodate standard cafe usage for around 10 seated internally, as
well as work as a wedding reception bar and a craft activity room.
This appeared to be a fairly straightforward project with a clear
brief. However the complexity increased as a result of the funding
conditions.
The funding is to come from various sources including the
National Lottery. The conditions of the funding depend partly upon
community involvement in the design process. This requires
additional services including the involvement of the 5th and 6th
Form students of Shebbear College with local knowledge and
potential future custom to the cafe, this was to be run in
conjunction with the design skills of the BA Architecture Students
of Plymouth University.
The initial target budget of this project was originally
intended to be 20,000, however the realistic achievable square
metre area was insufficient for the client needs. (900i/20,000 =
22.2sqm) (NSBRC, 2013) and a figure based upon an aspired 40sqm
(36,000) was decided upon.
Due to the requirement of providing an exact figure when
applying for lump-sum grant funding, it will be necessary to draw
up speculative Building Regulations drawings from which to cost the
project prior to applying for planning permission. The Client has
been recommended to make a speculative planning application and
contact the local Planning department prior to applying for the
funding.
The client is aware that Zhisheng Mao and Myself are currently
unqualified and are likely to make some errors. This is understood
and will be reflected in our hourly rate.
Owing to the lack of immediate funds and the limited budget for
payment, an hourly rate of payment (36/hr) will be charged due to
the uncertain hours required to run the VTP and potential reworking
of Building Regulations Drawings post-Planning. Calculations in
Brief

cost. (NSBRC, 2013)

Project Brief
The following is the brief initially outlined from meetings with
the client, completed on the 16th December 2013. It also details
the actions required to organise and arrange the VTP.The brief is
one of the most important parts of an architectural project, it
aims to summarise what the client needs so that the architect is
not subjected to un-projected volumes of work and so that the
client can know exactly what to expect from the Architect.
(Chappel, D., Willis, A., 2010, pp. 161)
The BA students and Shebbear students were emailed a copy of the
final brief on the 6th of January 2014. The final brief is
available to view in the appendix and explains the requirements and
objectives to be actioned during the VTP.
The payment decision to charge per hour was made due to the
uncertainty of the requirement of work level for the project as
well as the projects relatively low total value.
The value of 36 per hour was deduced due to the minimal
overheads in this freelance-style project, considering the level of
experience between Zhisheng Mao and Myself, and providing
sufficient income for Pre-Part 2 level Architecture Students. It
was also based upon an estimate of 12% (inspired by, but not
deduced from the now withdrawn RIBA indicative Fee Scales still
used by many architectural companies today, examples still
available to view from BHB Architects (2003) as a Pdf.) of
estimated building costs divided by the estimated number of hours
(120 hours, based upon personal experience for drawing hours and
agreed VTP time estimations discussed with the client).

VTP Summary
On Thursday the 9th of January 2014 Ben Pitcher travelled with
two BA students to Shebbear to work with the selected students to
measure the existing building, draw up CAD plans for the site and
attempt preliminary designs and ideas for the project.
Zhisheng Mao was included in deciding the day plan for the 9th
and managed the BA students at the University. They were tasked to
research precedents and understand the relevant construction
methods to be able to create detailed CAD sections on Friday the
10th of January.
The BA students and Shebbear Students were introduced on the
Friday and divided into 5 groups (B1-B5), each group was tasked to
and produced designs for a caf to fulfil the outline brief.
The final designs produced at the end of the two days were not
clear as to what was proposed due to the short timescale, the final
submissions were not to a level for the client to clearly
understand.
It was necessary to study and re-depict the designs into a
complete and comprehendible 3D form prior to submission to the
client for feedback.
The groups of students responsible for each of the designs are
listed in the Team Lists in the Student Brief in the Appendix.
Although unable to observe the activities and success of the
Thursday Session at the University myself, I asked the students to
complete feedback forms (In Appendix) to offer their thoughts upon
the management and effectiveness.

Team and Project Management
The Project required the BA Students of Plymouth University to
work in conjunction with the students of Shebbear College. The
interest from the school was very encouraging - several students
were particularly interested in considering careers as Architects.
The work on Thursday the 9th of January supervised by myself with
the Shebbear students was highly productive thanks to the extremely
good work of the two BA students who accompanied myself. The
students successfully collected dimensions of the Village Hall, and
two students successfully collated the dimensions into an AutoCAD
model under minimal instruction. The CAD plans were sent at 13:00
to the BA students at the University to begin their designs with
accurate site drawings. In the afternoon the Shebbear students
began producing interesting and useful design ideas in model,
sketch and digital form.
On Friday the 10th of January when the Shebbear students were
introduced to the BA students they were divided into the five
groups and each group was allocated a Yr. 3 group leader to
delegate and assign work within the group. It soon became apparent
that the BA students had not - as hoped - been given the site plans
so had not begun their designs for the site on the Thursday in the
afternoon. This resulted in a slow start to the day and resulted in
the students being late printing and completing their work. Some
students were required to stay later after the presentations to
complete the requirements list. Productivity was not helped by the
lack of computers brought to the VTP as well as poor attendance
from the BA students on both days, this resulted in many students
feeling un-useful and unmotivated which was reflected in the Friday
attendance. This can be debited to the deviations from the outlined
briefing document by the BA students on Thursday owing to the
unplanned presentations they were required to make to the other
groups.
The BA students on the Thursday collected good quantities of
precedent research throughout the day, however did not - as
requested - collect construction details to be used in the final
drawing sections through the structure. This resulted in unclear
final propositions and resulted in additional work for Zhisheng Mao
and myself in collating, deciphering and combining the design ideas
proposed by the five groups. Despite my colleagues weaker levels of
English, he performed very well considering he had to supervise the
students on the Thursday alone.
Reflectively the management was successful and the day-planning
was very well thought through and thorough , however on reflection
the day-plans should have allowed more time for unforeseen
diversions from the brief and the instructions to the Plymouth BA
students on the Thursday should have been expressed more clearly.
Also on the Friday the necessity to print the work on time should
have been further enforced, however due to the lack of work
produced from the slow start in the morning, this was an
unrealistic target. The students were requested to begin printing
the work 90 minutes prior to the submission, however none began
printing until 15 minutes prior to submission.

Design SummaryPost-VTP it was necessary to synthesise the
student designs, Zhisheng Mao and myself summarised the student
deigns into five Trimble SketchUp Models (See Appendix).
The final design, summarised and inspired by the student
designs, is a lightweight densely insulated frame clad with
horizontal cedar boarding. A rear patio provides space for external
seating.
The roofing material selected is an insulated corrugated system
to visually match the existing roof on the main building.
The interior multi-level layout was inspired by group B3.
Furnishings include the group B4 inspired folding tables to allow
for the space to be opened up for larger functions.
Full design details in the Building Regulations Drawings that
follow after the Visualisations - Building Regulation Drawings were
drawn-up as required in the Brief to provide an accurate costing
prior to application for funding.

Costing
In order to accurately cost the building beyond the initial
36,000 - 44,000 estimate stated in the Outline Brief, Spons
Architects and Builders Price Book (2007) was used, this book
provides accurate estimates for all ele-ments of a buildings
construction, including material costs, labour time estimates and a
summarised cost per unit area including labour.
Labour costs in the table are based upon Spons skill rate scale
(2007, pp 83) which range from 9.65/hr to 12.89/hr. These are
outdated due to inflation and is compensated for with a percentage
increase at the end of the costing.
The addition of an approximate 15% overspend to the cost, takes
into account the rises in building costs due to inflation since
2007, the in-creased labour rates, and extraneous costs. This
should help to create a more realistic - hopefully slightly
over-estimated budget figure.
This should comfortably see the project completed within the
Clients budget without unexpected overspending.

The Programme of work outlines the activities required to be
undertaken by the Architect and by the construction contractor
(Chappel, D., Willis, A., 2010, pp. 252). The programme of work
allows the client to be able to see how the work is broken down
against the RIBA stages should payment be arranged to follow each
completed stage. However in the case of this project, as previously
specified, the project is to be paid per hour on a month by month
basis.Care has been taken to allow the programme of work to include
a high detail of work required so as to work in conjunction with
the pricing lists (Chappel, D., Willis, A., 2010, pp. 253).The
Gantt Chart below shows the projected project development over a

Conclusion
The VTP project has been very insightful in terms of learning to
manage groups of students, liaising and communicating with the
client, and particularly a good exercise in producing accurate
costings, programmes and design drawings for the project.
I feel I have learnt that managing large groups of people
productively can be extremely difficult and that being able to
delegate to trustworthy team leaders who can each manage a smaller
group can be a far more successful method of management.
I have also found that to create a clearly defined brief early
on in the project is fairly difficult, particularly when it
contains slight oddities - such as the VTP requirements - however
when it can be clearly defined, then it becomes a very clear list
of objectives that are very useful when creating the Programme of
Work and calculating the Costings.
In final reflection, I feel that the VTP has been very
beneficial to the Shebbear students giving them a clear insight
into architectural study, useful to the Plymouth BA students in the
sense that the majority were able to experience a live project for
the first time which required a more professional design process,
and It has also been very beneficial for Zhisheng Mao as a
linguistic exercise and myself as a lesson in logistics and
management as well as a good exercise in the required architectural
activities aside from the design phase.
I believe that using this same VTP system, taking on board what
has been learnt this year, the University will be able to have an
equally successful Outreach Event next year too.

Appendix - Client Correspondence Record Emails and Phone
Correspondence Diary
14/11/2013Dear Ms. WealeMy name is Ben Pitcher from the
University of Plymouth Master of Architecture Programme.I have been
made aware of your project through Bob Brown and Alona
Martinez-Perez and have been shown your existing correspondence.
Firstly I need to confirm that you are still interested in working
on the project with the University? And if so, the University has
the following proposition:Currently myself and my groupmate -
Zhisheng (Morton) Mao - are searching for participant projects to
take part in the Universitys VTP (Vertical Team Project - All three
BA Architecture year groups working with the masters students in
Janaury after Christmas as part of a team-working exercise).The
idea behind the Scheme is that Myself and Morton would liase and
meet with yourself to visit the site pre-VTP as part of our
Proffessional Studies Module, document relevant information and
define a brief. We would then produce outline levels of design
decisions to form a project for the BA students to work on as a
group project, In a way that allows the involvement and education
of external young communities.The VTP will be on the 9th and 10th
of January, (I will send you a full timetable if you are
interested) and would require that on the 9th (Thursday) the
University would send 4/5 students (accompanied by either myself or
Morton) to your Village to meet with a group of
young-architectural-enthusiasts - up to 20 - (pre-university age
group and to be selected by yourself) who would benefit from a
taster session into how an architect works/studies. We would then
run a day of activities (if you can arrange a suitable venue) where
we would encourage the participants to work with our BA students to
further the design of the project and undertake modelling tasks.
The following day, on the Friday, the University would require you
to transport between 8 and 10 young-architectural-enthusiasts
(either the same selection as on the Thursday or a different group)
to the University in Plymouth, they would then take part in a
pre-organised day of activities working with BA students to produce
work for a final presentation at the end of the day to portray the
design of the cafe. You would then be given a copy of all this work
for your own uses/purposes. The University hopes that this project
would be of educational interest to your chosen participants and
that you would end up with well considered and clear design ideas
for your Cafe project.Please let me know if the above is of
interest to you and if you would benefit from further timetabled
information.Kind RegardsBen Pitcher
15/11/2013Thanks Ben, this sounds an amazing offer - my husband
is a teacher at Shebbear College and Im sure we could arrange some
students to help take part.Let me get back to you, I will bring it
up at our Village Hall meeting this Tuesday.Rebecca Weale
15/11/2013Dear Rebecca Weale,
27
-
Good news, looking forward to hear the feedback from the
meeting.
Kind RegardsBen Pitcher
20/11/2013Dear Rebecca Weale,Good morning, hope you are well,Is
there any news from your community meeting as to the feasibility of
this project?Further to my original email, I would also like to add
that for working with the school, both myself and Morton have been
DBS (CRB) checked.Also, would you be able to supply an idea of
budget, selected location, and any initial ideas that you already
have prior to us arranging to meet you?Kind RegardsBen Pitcher
20/11/2013Phone call to R. Weale confirming details of the VTP
and the schools interest in contributing. Presentation to Students
spoken about and agreed to.
20/11/2013Hi Ben,Good to talk to you - and look forward to
updating you next week.Please see link below to the Village Hall
website - idea is that we build a community cafe on the end where
the silver car is - in that initial image. Although the Village
Hall Committee can be quite fierce, I have got the go ahead for the
idea at this stage, and still have to apply for funding (but I have
been told as this a deprived area it would qualify). My bullet
points attached.
Thanks Rebecca

20/11/2013Hi Ben,Ive spoken to the Head of Sixth Form, Shebbear
College and he says that 11.30am next Wednesday would be perfect
time for you to give a talk on your workshop plans to the whole 5th
and 6th form. He will book the assembly room which is set up as a
lecture room.So if you can get here a little earlier to site visit
we can do that,Rebecca
21/11/2013Dear Rebecca,Good Morning, myself and Morton will be
free and able to drive up for then. Would we be able to meet
yourself and tour the site arriving between 9:30 and 10:00, so we
have a chance to take a few site photos to add to the presentation
and discuss your existing ideas.Regarding the presentation, I
suggesty that we talk about:- What an Architect does- Working in
Practice- Method of study- Our project task for them- Then perhaps
you could expand a little on our summary of your project
28
-
This should take around 15 minutes to present on our part with
opportunities for questions afterwards.Would I then request a show
of hands for volunteers? Or await the teachers to select the
appropriate students after the session?Kind regardsBen Pitcher
21/11/2013Hi Ben, (Im copying in Matt Newitt, Head of Sixth
Form, Matt please see Bens email)Sounds good to me - although I
suppose I may not have a great deal to add to that, only that the
community cafe is in its infancy, and Im applying for funding now.
(which Ive been told we are eligible for)This will also be open to
any other teenagers who live in the area - I know of a couple who
may not be able to make next week, but who will be interested in
attending. Ive put it on the Sheb Community facebook page to get in
touch with me. Maybe also show some slides of your University and
where the 2nd day will be held, perhaps, to give them some idea of
how that will run. I expect I will need help to arrange consent
forms for that, and a mini bus.
I have x 2 other Architect companies who are supplying rough
ideas and quotes, one of which has sent in their ideas - but not
sure we want to reveal this at this stage, as your workshop designs
may come up with a different idea altogether, and dont want to
cloud their vision.My Address is:Beckly House, (Junior School
Entrance, on the way down to the Village, drive past the chapel all
the way to the end of the lane, and it is the white house on the
right)Shebbear, EX21 5SJ (tel: 01409 281143 or 07985 141152)You can
meet me either here - or at the Village Hall site? I can always
take some snaps and send you them, as the sun is out today!Thanks,
Rebecca
21/11/2013Dear Rebecca,I will add information about the plans
for the Thursday and Friday sessions. Some photos that make the
most of todays weather would be very useful.If you could forward
the existing designs it would be a useful framework to start with,
although we will choose how much to share in the presentation to
keep ideas open.We could meet you at the Village Hall, we will
phone you half an hour before we are due to arrive, however we will
try to arrive just before 10AM.I will work on the presentation at
the weekend and send you a draft on monday to glance through prior
to Wednesday.Kind Regards Ben Pitcher

we can offer some further ideas!I attach a copy of our proposed
presentation, with the intention of adding some site images to be
taken on Wednesday morning. As well as adding some of Mortons work

27/11/2013Hi Ben,The Hall is being used from 10.30am-12.00 for
Yoga, so when you plan your day it would be best to stay clear of
the building for then (either go back to the school) or start
afterwards as they will want it to be quiet, thanks Rebecca. Draft
for Benplease can you check this is correct! needs to be in
tomorrow:
Plymouth Universitys search for young designers On Wednesday
this week the school was visited by 2 Architect Masters students
from Plymouth University - Ben Pitcher and Morton Mao. As well as
giving some background about studying the disciplines of
Architecture, they were also searching for some local teenage
designers to help with a Community Design Project which will go
towards their Masters Degree. A group of 11 Shebbear College fifth
and sixth formers have signed up to take part in the workshop to
design a Community Caf attached to the Shebbear Village Hall. The
idea is that this allows the involvement and education of external
young communities. The group will work on the project as if
professional architects under Ben and Mortons guidance, along with
other BA students from Plymouth. The site planning will take place
on Thursday 9th January and the next day the group will go to
Plymouth University to use their equipment in finalising drawings
and models. The designs the kids come up with will be given to the
Village Hall Committee for its own consideration/use. Funding for
the idea is currently being investigated, watch this space.
27/11/2013Dear Rebecca,
The below letter looks good, I am sending the list of the names,
seems there are 14 who put their names down, If they all confirm
they can do the 9th and 10th, and the college is happy to transport
them and provide some packed lunches perhaps, Im sure the
University would not notice an extra 4 students! (I know that
several of the names were written down by one girl, so it may be
worth confirming they are interested not obligated).
Regarding the Thursday, I noticed the refectory (I think that
was its name - next to the lunch hall with the blue tables and
chairs) in the school which looked like a very good workspace,
30
-
alternatively an art room may be suitable. What I propose is
that we take the students down to the village hall prior to yoga
10:30AM at around 9:30 or after whenever they have their
registration, then we can work with them to survey the building
with tape measures/laser measures, then I can teach at least one
student how to draw it up in AutoCAD as the other students measure,
another student or two can try to Learn SketchUp to model the
building in 3D, all students can try this if they can bring
laptops. (they will need mice for their laptops as they need the
scroll wheel). This should produce an accurate model of the
building which can be used by Barry for the planning permission for
his youth shelter as well as a basis for the initial designs.Access
to the school printers may be very useful for printing maps and
photos to draw/model over.If the art department can supply various
cards, papers, adhesive, tape and cutting tools (and cutting mats
if the tables are nice!) then we should be able to run a good
modelling session with the students back at the school so as not to
interrupt the yoga class. We could work up to perhaps around 12:00
or whenever they go for lunch. A few extra tape measures/metre
rulers may be useful of the school has them.How do you think this
would work?Regards
Ben Pitcher
02/12/2013Hi Ben,I will find out about work space - and hoping
that the afternoon in the Village Hall should be fine, just the
late morning time to find space,and get back to you.Rough times
are:8.30am Registration8.40 Lessons11am Chapel11.10 Break11.30
Lesson12.50 Lunch1.45pm Lessons4pm Activities4.55 - Coaches/Home
(although on Fridays it is 4pm home time)
03/12/2013Hi Ben,Ive heard that you can use the Assembly Hall
that you spoke in, there are fold out tables in there. I will try
and book it today for the morning slot 10- lunch - then down at the
village hall in the afternoon perhaps?Rebecca
03/12/2013Dear RebeccaThat sounds ideal, thanks for your
co-operation, I will work with Morton over the next few days on a
timetable for the day.Kind Regards
Ben Pitcher
03/12/2013Hi Ben,
-
We will book the Assembly Hall from 10am - 2pm, hope that should
cover it? There are other spaces if need be, Rebecca
03/12/2013Dear Rebecca,That should be perfect.Many thanks
Ben Pitcher
10/12/2013Hi Ben,I was wondering (as i tackle my funding
application forms), whether it is possible to estimate the cost of
any concept that might come out of designs with you guys, as I need
an estimate to gauge how much I need to raise,Thanks Rebecca
11/12/2013Evening Rebecca, Apologies for my slow response but we
have just had our final hand-in for our design project.Seeing as it
would be only a two day project, the designs will most likely not
be valued.Our instructions to the BA students is to target the
value to around 20k, which is quite a small amount of money.
Although due to their lack of experience it is questionable as to
how good their understanding of real money is.The best suggestion
would be to choose your favourite design from amongst the five that
the students will produce and then put the design drawings out to
tender with several local builders - perhaps local builders will be
able to offer a special community beneficial price. Then it would
be a case of planning permission - for which you can contact myself
if you need any alterations to drawings.Morton and Myself will try
to keep the cost realistic on the projects and not allow the
students to go too grand with their ideas.I would suggest that you
wait until you have copies of the designs in January before making
your applications.On another matter, the University has not DBS
checked as many students as originally intended so it appears that
only 2 or 3 students will be accompanying me to the school which
should be an easier number for me to manage and hopefully it will
be more appropriate to not outnumber the School students!Our term
finishes this Friday, however I will be within email reach should
you need any more information.I have attached the briefing document
that will be given to our students on the 9th and 10th. It includes
timetables that I hope will fit well with your school
timetable.Kind Regards
Ben Pitcher
13/12/2013Dear Rebecca,The University has given me a risk
assessment document to email to you.Also it has now been decided
that the University Catering will be able to feed your school
students on the Friday and would appreciate if you could supply any
particular dietary requirements.
32
-
Also the University would like to know how the students will be
transported to the Uni, I assume by one of the minibuses, but they
need to confirm how many vehicles so they can provide parking for
you.Also, Im in the process of sourcing materials for the project
on Thursday, will the school allow the students to use Stanley
knives with safety rulers and cutting mats? And are they allowed to
use UHU adhesive? I will be shopping with Morton this weekend and
Monday for Various cards, papers and foam board.Regards
Ben Pitcher
15/12/2013Hi Ben,Thats great news re: catering for the Shebbear
school kids, makes life easier. I have booked one of the school
minibuses for the day - but I think we will need to be back for 5pm
here in Shebbear to get all the kids home. Meant to check your
timetable to see if this works.I will check over those points re:
Stanley knives and get back, and get Simon to look over the risk
assessment.Have a good festive week,
Rebecca
15/12/2013Dear Rebecca
I am sure the students can leave at 15:00 which should allow
time to get back to Shebbear by 17:00, this would fit in fine as it
is at the start of the presentations but after all work is finished
and printed, they will miss the presentation, but I will be given a
digital copy of all the work which I can send to you afterwards.I
will let the Uni know and arrange a minibus parking space for
you.Let me know about any special food requirements, Knives and
adhesives so I can get those things sorted too. Later today I will
amend the timetable to include your new travel-time and will resend
you the brief document.Happy Christmas
Ben Pitcher
15/12/2013Great thanks, R
06/01/2014Phone Call To R. Weale to confirm all arangements.
06/01/2014Dear Rebecca,The number of students coming with me now
to the school is at 3 people.If the each of your students could
have copies of the brief it would be very helpful to them.Have a
nice evening.
Ben Pitcher

06/01/2014Thanks Ben, please can I also have directions and any
instructions for the parking and where we go for the Friday,cheers
Rebecca
06/01/2014Dear Rebecca
I have emailed Louise who is organising the parking, she will
let me know in the morning and I will pass it on to you.
Regards
Ben Pitcher
07/01/2014Thanks, R
07/01/2014Dear Rebecca,Louise has emailed me a campus map for
you (which is attached) and instructs the following:Parking is
booked for Rebecca. She will need to come to the entrance by the
Reynolds building (please send her the attached map) and turn right
twice to bring her to the Scott car park between Scott and Roland
Levinsky, where she will be able to park her mini-bus. She then
needs to bring her group into Roland Levinsky to meet you and your
team and you can direct her to pick up a parking permit from the
white desk under the stairs.Vegetarian lunch options are available
for any that want them.Kind Regards
Ben Pitcher
07/01/2014Please see those who signed to take part in this
Thursday and Fridays Village Hall Community Project with Plymouth

Ben Pitcher Transcript:
B INTRODUCTIONGood morning everybody, my name is Ben and Im here
from the University of Plymouth. I previously studied my Bachelor
degree at Plymouth in Architecture, and after a year out working, I
have now come back to the University to study on the Masters
course.MortonWe are here today to talk to you about what
Architecture involves, how to study it, and how you can join in
with one of our projects.Next SLIDEB WHAT DOES AN ARCHITECT
DO?Firstly Im sure you all understand the basic idea of what an
architect does. They make iconic buildings, like the Swiss-Re
Gherkin in London, and bespoke houses like Frank Lloyd Wrights
Falling Water for the Kaufmann family in Pennsylvania. But although
they may look quite dull, the majority of the repetitive housing
schemes all over the country were designed at least in part by
architects. Architects also work on the small scale like simple
extensions, but some architects have even been asked to design bus
shelters, although Norman Fosters Bus shelter barely fitted to any
of the 157 pages of requirements for a bus shelter and was
disregarded.B WORKING IN PRACTICE IN THE UKI began work straight
out of University and went to work for a small company in Plymouth
where I worked on designing modular prefabricated 2/3/4 bed option
eco-houses to suit
46
-
various sites, dependent only on being orientated south to make
the most of the solar gain (which is the heating provided naturally
by the sun). I then went to work for a Planning Consultant where I
worked with Listed buildings and went to survey and model several
various types of building.I have also worked for a small Architect
in Taunton, where I worked on lots of small projects from
extensions to new-builds, most of the work involved working as a
CAD monkey producing drawings of the construction for building
regulations and providing building elevations and 3D renders for
planning applications.I also worked for a month and a half in
Switzerland where I worked with Architects on behalf of a Solar
energy Company, helping to design integrated systems into the
rooves of new builds, as well as calculating panel layouts to
retrofit to existing buildings like the bottom right picture.
Solvatec is currently trying to break into the UK market and I am
still working for them to try and secure a large UK contract.Whilst
studying at the moment I am still working for another local
Architect producing 3D computer models and some renders, I am also
still in touch and working occasionally for the planning
consultant.Next SLIDEB HOW TO BECOME AN ARCHITECTRead from PageNext
SLIDEB DIAGRAMSDiagrams are probably the fastest and clearest way
to communicate ideas in Architecture, able to show a detail on a
building or a metaphorical connection, For example like the simple
ones here (indicate) you can show simple design choices and thought
or spatial ideas like the middle images or a complex process that
may even develop and mix with a 3D model.Next SLIDEB TECHNICAL
DRAWINGSTechnical drawings are the more practical side to the
architectural studying process where you demonstrate your
understanding of how your structure is constructed, these generally
are more resolved design decisions and often find their way onto
final presentation pages. Architectural presentations in University
tend to combine technical building regulations work, with a sales
pitch to the client and with a public consultation design
explanation.Next SLIDEB ESSAY WRITINGEssay writing is not as dull
as it will probably sound to the most of you! It is fairly free and
encourages you to develop ideas and research around a topic that
interests you that you can generally try to include in your other
design work as part of your theory. This is actually an essay I
wrote last week which looks into a situation in Peru where a member
of the public designed a website where people who live in the city
of Lima can put forward ideas to improve the city and start
discussions. I intend to take this forward in my research for my
Masterplan design project this year.Next SLIDEB PRESENTATIONSDuring
the year we have regular presentations to the class and the tutors
so everyone can see what stage you are at and offer suggestions and
ideas of their own. These are not always marked and are extremely
useful in the design process. They are not something to worry about
either, as you get to know all the people you work with very well
very quickly.Next SLIDEHow you can get involved.

Zhisheng (Morton) Mao Transcript:
M - INTRODUCTION Speak after BenGood morning, Im Morton, Im also
a 1st year Masters student from China. I did my first degree in
China, and I worked in Beijing for the last 2 years working for an
architectural design studio.Ben speaks againNext SLIDEM - WORKING
IN CHINA In the last 20 years, China has had many people migrate
from the rural areas to the cities. As a result cities have been
growing bigger very fast. Due to the population density issues
China has to build lots of tall buildings so it is becoming an
urban jungle.This is one of the projects I worked on in China, it
is in ShanXi, a province nearby Beijing. It is very standard
middle-class housing.Middle class housing in China is usually less
contextual and tends to look the same everywhere, there are rarely
private gardens and instead there is public space between the
buildings.I also worked on private houses for rich people!This
particular house was part of a housing scheme and was designed for
a client to sell commercially.Next SLIDEM - MODELS In architecture
we make lots of models, these two (point) are examples that Ben and
I made last week with our separate groups. They are Masterplan
models, Bens model focuses on the proposal, and mine focuses on
showing the context.Models can be used to show lots of different
ideas, they can show various levels of detail and can be used to
clearly diagram ideas.Next SLIDEM - EXCURSIONS Each year we go on a
trip, 1st year BA students go to a UK city, 2nd and 3rd year BA
students go to various European Cities. The 1st year Masters
students study a UK city, ours was Bristol, the 2nd years went to
Cheshun (Ciezen) in Poland and they are re-designing part of the
city for their project this year.Next SLIDEM - COMMUNITY PROJECTS
We also make an effort to work with the community who we design
for. We are currently working on a project in Millbay, in Plymouth
where, as you can see from the photos, we met and spoke with
schoolchildren, local residents and local employees. It was very
interesting to hear their different views on the area.And that is
why we are here today, to work with you!Next SLIDE

GROUP B Vertical Team Project 2014 Architecture and ATE
Masters Group Leaders: ZHISHENG MORTON MAO and BEN PITCHER
Project Background
Our Project for this year will be working with a local community
and a local school in the Village of Shebbear in North Devon. The
project aims: 1) To enhance Architectures linkage with the wider
community (as both a school of architecture and as a discipline)
regarding who we are, what we do and how we work. 2) To act in the
spirit of Architectures mission of contributing to the well-being
of the wider community. 3) To give school students an idea of the
approach to design methods and strategy and how interesting it is
to be an architect, as well as offering a chance to see (and learn
/ experience) the many different skills they need to be an
architect. The above aims are to be actioned in a Live project that
you will undertake. You are tasked to design a Village Community
Caf to be built as an extension from the existing Village Hall.
This will be designed after relevant consultation with the School
and the local Community and after relevant analytical exercises.
You will be divided into teams in which to work, each team is
expected to produce a separate proposition that will be presented
to the Community of Shebbear at the end of the Project. The School
with which you will be working is Shebbear College, and you will be
working with 14 students in 5th Form, Lower 6th, and Upper 6th who
are all beginning to or are in the process of making their choices
for University. You may also be joined by some local students from
the Village, TBC. You will be divided into two initial groups one
group will travel to the site on Thursday the 9th of January, while
the other group will work from the University.
B Student Brief

On Friday the 10th, the students from the school will come to
the University to work with you for the full day.
Students visiting the school will be contacted individually to
confirm.
Tasks for the Two Day Project
The project will be broken down into three key tasks:
1) Consultation / Site Analysis Approach to Consultation -
Understand the intentions of the Caf and who the users will be and
what
its additional functions may entail. - Understand the context of
the building and consider how the building may
work as a social hub.
2) Design Proposal - Each group must generate a proposition for
the caf project. - Each project must include a clear design process
that includes financial
limitations as well as feasibility. - The budget is 20,000 which
should dictate and restrict your design. - The Caf must work as an
extension of the existing space; it must be usable
as a bar as well as a storage space. It must have usual caf
facilities and small kitchenette as well as a series of movable
tables.
3) Final Presentation The Final Presentation will include 2
aspects: - Firstly, documentation by the team of your consultation
process, site
analysis, conceptualisation and final design proposal. -
Secondly, of critical commentary by each team member identifying:
their
role in developing the project; and the awareness / knowledge /
skills gained through working on the project.
Submission
The submission will be in the form of annotated drawings, a
model and relevant text. Each group is expected to produce:
- GA Plan of the Caf @ 1:20 - Site plan at 1:50 - Elevations of
the North, South and West faces of the design @ 1:20 - Internal
Perspectives of the space - External Perspectives of the Caf -
Model of the Proposition @ 1: 20

Timetables (For those travelling to the school, and for those
staying at the University - Those who will be going to the school
will be contacted individually) You will all need to bring laptops
if you have them, preloaded with AutoCAD and Sketchup as well as a
mouse and a memory stick. Do NOT forget your DBS checks and lunch
for yourselves. Thursday 9th January (BA School visitors) Stephen
Boundy, Tom Clarke, Bethany Coppard. 07:00 Meet Ben outside the
Roland Levinski Building (you can drive straight in and wait but
dont leave your car or you will be ticketed) 07:15 Leave in cars to
travel to the school 09:00 Meet the students at Shebbear Village
Hall, Introductions and brief explained. 09:15 Site surveys begin,
the whole building is to be measured with tape measures and laser
measures and drawn up in CAD. 10:15 Walk/Drive to the school and
collect visitors cards from reception. You will then work in the
Assembly hall with the students to continue to draw up the
measurements in CAD and teach some students SketchUp. Initial
groups will be assigned and you can begin initial designs. 11:10
Break for 20 minutes. 11:30 continue working in your groups with
the students and continue the design process making models and
producing semi-technical drawings. Before lunch send samples of the
work back to the University by Dropbox so that the University BA
students can see what ideas the students are producing. 12:50
Lunch, the students will go for their own lunch in the school, you
must either bring your own or walk to the village shop/pub for
lunch. 13:45 Return your visitors badges to the reception and walk
back to the Village Hall and continue to work there. 15:00 Collate
all your work and present the work your groups have done to the
rest of the students. We may be joined by several members of the
community to watch this. 15:30 Clear away the mess and the students
will leave for their afternoon activities sessions. Travel back to
the University. Should be back in Plymouth around 5pm to join in
evening drinks at Roundabout.

Thursday 9th January (BA students at the University)
09:00 Meet Morton at the University in the Atrium where you will
be told which room you will be working in, then you will be
briefed. 09:15 Begin work on researching precedent studies using
books from the library and the internet, print everything you do /
find as they will be used on the Friday. 10:30 Return to workspace
and explain your findings so far to the group (register taken).
11:00 Break for 20 Minutes - No more as you will be marked as late
on the register. 11:20 Drawing from the precedents, search for cost
effective methods of construction that are as ecologically
considerate as possible. 12:20 Return to workspace and explain your
findings so far to the group (register taken). 12:50 Lunch for 55
minutes - No more as you will be marked as late on the register.
13:45 Observe the work on Dropbox from the school students and use
the CAD site model and Digimap imagery to produce the site plans
ready for the Friday session. As only one or two students are
required to make the site plan, the rest will begin to work from
the ideas of the school students and come up with their own designs
and attempt to reach a similar level of design resolvement. 15:30
Break for 20 Minutes - No more as you will be marked as late on the
register. 15:50 Continue to work on designs and build a parti site
model for your group to work on the next day. 16:30 Final meeting
to summarise the day, explain the initial ideas of the group and

Friday 10th January (Everyone)
08:45 Meet at the studio workspace, a register will be taken at
09:00. 09:00 Shebbear College students will arrive (14 students).
09:15 Briefing and introductions, divided into 5 groups of mixed
stages. 09:30 Begin to work in your team on coming up with a design
that you are all in agreement over, allow all to express their
opinions but you will have to compromise on some ideas and work
fast to be finished and printed by 14:30. 11:00 Break for 20
Minutes - No more as you will be marked as late on the register.
Show the students where to get Coffee from and make them welcome.
11:20 Finalise the decisions on the design from the morning ASAP,
then work to produce the submission requirements listed on page 2
of this document. Bear in mind you do not have much time! 13:00
Lunch for 55 minutes - No more as you will be marked as late on the
register, (Working during your lunch break is not discouraged, and
is a realistic aspect of architectural practice!) 13:55 Register
taken, then finalise your work. You should aim to produce the work
in A3 format (considering printing costs) and you should aim to
make it a coherent presentation however maintain the
professionalism of genuine architectural work, i.e. not too much
over-decoration as the plans and sections may well be shown to
builders. 14:30 All work must have been printed by this time, and
ready to be pinned up, each group must elect one person, either
from the school or from the BA who will briefly present the work to
our group. All work must be given to Ben/Morton in digital A3
format before the end of the day. 15:00 All work is pinned up and
displayed in the foyer of the RLB. Followed by short presentations
from all the groups. School Students to leave back to Shebbear.
16:30 Announcement of winners and prize giving. 17:00 Home-time /
