BRIEF

A local charity, Tomorrow’s People, is going to open a pop up restaurant. It will have a cinema in the entrance way in Canary Wharf. A cookery school will run in conjunction with the restaurant. An outdoor cinema will show 1940’s Ealing comedies. The smokehouse fish is mainly for the restaurant, but will also sell smoked fish to the public. The site is underneath Delta junction, a Docklands Light Railway (DLR) flyover junction, and next to Aspen Way, a dual carriage way.

The site is in a connection point between the North side of the road and Canary Wharf. The sides are totally different in terms of physical appearance and social position. Shiny skyscrapers and bankers in Canary Wharf, and social houses and the working class to the North of Aspen Way.

The restaurant is going to be on the site for two years, during the construction time of North Quay, another mixed use skyscraper near to the junction. All material used for the restaurant will be reused when the building is dismantled.

PROGRAMME

The project will include four programmes. A restaurant, cinema, cookery school, and smoke-house.

The cookery school is going to give a great chance to the community, especially the young un-employed who want to get into the food industry. They are going to be a part of the restaurant team.

The restaurant will serve bloaters (smoked herrings) which were a popular British dish that dis-appeared during the war due to food rationing. One of its nicknames was Billingsgate Pheasant. It is a healthy food containing Omega-3, which helps to reduce heart problems. The fish comes from Billingsgate Fish Market, which is 470m (0.30miles) away from the restaurant. Fish will be cured straight away and smoked for 10hrs. The smoked fish is going to be transferred through a pathway which is 5m above the road.

The outdoor cinema is going to show Ealing comedies made by Ealing Studios between 1940 and 1960, such as ‘Passport to Pimlico’ and ‘The Ladykillers’.

The smokehouse contains a smoke room and a curing room. When the fish comes from Bil-lingsgate market, fish scales will be gathered to make natural plastic, as demonstrated by Erik de Laurence. The smoked fish is not only for the restaurant, but also will be for sale directly from the smokehouse.

AFTERLIFE OF FISH

Fresh fish will be delivered from Billingsgate Market which is 470m (0.3 miles) away from the restaurant. When the fish arrives at the restaurant, they will be prepared for curing. During the preparation, fish scales will be gathered and transformed into cups and cutlery, which was introduced by Erik de Laurens who made cups and other objects such as swimming goggles from fish scales. He didn’t used any artificial compound to produce fish scale plastic. This will reduce food waste dramatically.

“In continuation of ‘the fish feast’ I created a surprising material made of 100% fish scales ( no added compound ). The fishing industry gen-

erates several circumstances where many tons of fish scales are leftover. Using this waste as resources for the production of his fish-scale-

plastic, I tried to highlight the potentiality of these industrial flaw.

In order to test the material I have designed 3 pairs of goggles and glasses inspired by swimming goggles and a table with an inlay of a fish. I

have also extended the range of colours in the tumbler previously designed.

I am currently looking for funding to push the development of this material further.” - Erik de Laurens

The fish will be smoked for 9-10 hours. When the restaurant serves the dish, only the main fish body will be used, the other parts will be trimmed off. The trimmed parts will be gathered to make soup for the next morning. The price of the soup will be gener-ously cheap, so people who finishes work in the early morning from around Canary Wharf, and labourers for the North Quay construction site can get a good quality, cheap fresh meal.

CLIENTS

ARCHITECT

The main client is a local charity organization, Tomorrow’s People.

“We help disadvantaged adults and young people to get and keep a job. Everything we do is

focused on improving the long-term work prospects of those who face the greatest barriers to

work. Our vision is to break the cycle of unemployment and dependency in deprived commu-

nities throughout the UK. We transform lives by ‘re-skilling’ long-term unemployed people so

that they can find and keep a job. “ -Tomorrow’s People

Hugh Fearlney-Whittingstall is going to be the main project consultant for the general restaurant organization, and he will support the cookery school.

The funds are going to be raised from different organisations around the site. First of all, the site is mainly situated on DLR property and Canary Wharf Group’s land. They are very keen on the project and promise to rent the land for two years for free. Billingsgate Fish Market and Worshipful Company of Fishmongers also interested in the project, and will supply ingrediant for the cookery school during the project.

“As with most Livery Companies, a large proportion of our resources is spent on support for

education and other charities. The Company’s charitable ethos is entrenched in its history

and present day activities, in many cases bringing practical support and tangible benefits to

individuals and groups across our community. “ - Worshipful Company of fishmongers

A local DIY store, Wickes, in Canning Town will provide building materials. The Big Lottery Fund will cover initial building costs such as a building surveyor, or an architect and a quantity surveyor; CDM coordinators, mechanical and electrical e.ngineer.

“From the outset of the new River Cottage HQ at park farm, the intention was to create a site that was zero

carbon, low energy and that considered the various issues of sustainability on the site.

River cottage developed a holistic approach for the site that would assure nothing went to waste and that all

aspects of the energy creation, infrastructure and physical build were realised with maximum sustainability.

Everything from the materials sourced to the systems used strives to have minimal impact on the environment.

Through numerous systems like a bio mass boiler that is fuelled with clearings from local forests to the reed

beds that naturally process effluent from the site; sustainability has been the primary design focus of the project.

"Much or our recent progress has been in identifying some key elements to help us reduce our carbon output

(and save us money in the process) — from simple things like making sure we use high quality low e light bulbs”

- Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

“From November 2010 until March 2013, we are making £75 million available to fund projects which will replace or

improve buildings where a wide range of community activities take place. We want to fund projects that can help meet

big’s aim of improving communities and the lives of people most in need. A community can be people living in a local

area or those with similar interests or needs. We will accept

Outline proposals for projects that meet the range of needs in a geographical community. We will also accept propos-

als for buildings which will service a community of interest, such as young people, as long as a wide range of activities

will be provided and other communities have been consulted and are not excluded from taking part in the building’s

activities.

You can ask us for between £100,000 and £500,000. We want to fund buildings that are well used by their community

and have an impact long after the building work is completed. This revenue funding is included in the maximum grant

size of £500,000.”

LOCATION AS EXISTING

The site is located underneath a DLR flyover and flyunder on the edge of the north of Canary Wharf in London, which is the centre of finance. Many spaces under-neath the flyover have occurred unexpectedly. Among those spaces, especially the main DLR junction, is Delta junction, which is a unique space under a 10m high flyover with many columns following the tracks.

There is a wide dual carriage way called Aspen Way to the north of the site. The road is separating the local area into two very different characters in terms of phys-ical appearance and social aspect. The Canary Wharf side is high tech and highly security because there are so many financial companies and banks. Compared to this, the other side is a working class society area.

URBAN FABRIC & SOCIAL ISSUES

Aspen Way is a dual carriage way which normally has 6 lanes or a maximum of 8 lanes at the near turning point. The road leads into a tunnel, Limehouse Link, which is connected to Limehouse. Two DLR flyovers are passing above the site, one is 10m high and the other is 5m high. Underneath of them is untreated, and an undesir-able place.

The site is situated in the middle of three different types of build-ings. To the North side of the road is mainly social housing. On the other side, Canary Wharf, and to the South West side of the site is luxury housing. The luxury housing were import warehouses until the 1960’s. They were developed with London Docklands Develop-ment Corporation. There is a cinema, fitness centre, and car park.

One of the most interesting aspects of Canary Wharf is security. There are much higher than average number of security guards than any other place in London. The architect surveyed crimes in Canary Wharf and the surrounding areas.

The bottom map shows the different types of and comparative amount of crimes around the proposal site in September 2012. Inner Canary Wharf area has higher number of shoplifting and other theft compared to the outer Canary Wharf which has more crimes in general, especially violent and Anti-social behaviour (ASB)

There are two big projects near the site. One is the Crossrail Canary Wharf Station, which is planned to connect to West India Quay Station, the closest station to the site. The construction of the Crossrail Station is ongoing. The other project is North Quay is a mixed use development, and consists of three towers. The tallest tower is 43 storeys high, almost the same height as One Canada Square. This building is on hold until the Crossrail Station is completed.

The restaurant project is directly related to the North Quay project. Part of the restaurant strategy is to use wood chips from the North Quay construction site. This will provide with alternative fuel and save on maintanance costs, while recycling industrial waste from a construction site.

Most of the buildings in Canary Wharf are to do with finance. On the north side of Canary Wharf, there are more residential blocks and com-mercial use buildings.

Billingsgate Fish Market is to the north-east.

There is a commercial cinema near the site and a few fish related restau-rants. Most of the restaurants are selling fish and chips. One restaurant in the middle of Canary Wharf is Japanese. There is a seafood restau-rant next to the river outside of Canary Wharf. It is closer to the Isle of Dogs.

CANARY WHARF AND BILLINGSGATE FISH MARKETCURRENT AND HISTORY

When traveling on the DLR train from All Saints to Poplar Station, the first thing you see are the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf. In contrast, a flat yellow building sits below them. Billingsgate Fish Market is located just in front of the financial buildings of Canary Wharf. Two very different types of markets exists to each other.

Billingsgate market moved to its current location in 1982. The Old Billingsgate Market was near Monument Station. The City of London still owns the market, even though it is in a Tower Hamlets Council area.

“The first Billingsgate Market building was constructed on Lower Thames Street in 1850 by the builder John Jay, and the fish market

was moved off the streets into its new riverside building. This was demolished in around 1873 and replaced by an arcaded market

hall designed by City architect Horace Jones and built by John Mowlem & Co. in 1875, the building that still stands on the site today

.” -City of London

“The opening of the railways changed the nature of the trade, and by the late nineteenth century most of the fish arrived at the mar-

ket via the great eastern railway” - London past and present: its history, associations and traditions, London: John Murray

“Located in the Docklands, in an area heavily bombed in World War 2 with much dockyard infrastructure lost, and in an area which

was completely empty and unused by 1980. The market was opened in West India Docks in 1982, on land sold by the London

Port Authority, just prior to The London Docklands Development Corporation taking charge of the area, the then new Conservative

Government wrestling control from the local boroughs (and also closing the Greater London Council). The market is still owned

and run by the City of London Corporation, even though the area is geographically in Tower Hamlets. This was made possible by

agreements between the City Corporation, the merchants, the Docklands Joint Committee, (representing the old GLC) and the

Department of the Environment, together with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

Since then the London Docklands Development Corporation regenerated the surrounding area, which has been greatly developed

and now huge towers lean over this low level market building. Close by is the tallest building, the impressive Canary Wharf. The

LDDC eventually was withdrawn from 1994-1997, and now the local boroughs are back in control of the Docklands area and the

‘New’ Billingsgate Market is still operating, although it is now under threat from from a “Market Review” of all London Markets...

Land in London is expensive! So a visit sooner than later may be required!” - Tripadviser

ACCESSIBILITY & INFRASTRUCTURE BARRIERS

Canary Wharf is surrounded by a natural barrier, the river Thames, and artificial bar-riers, the Aspen Way dual carriage way. The river runs around the peninsula on the west, south, and east sides. The dual carriage way is to the north. Apart from the foot bridge 180m away from the site, which connects to Poplar DLR Station, the alternate ways to cross the road are more than 1.7km away from each other. It is easy to get into Canary Wharf via public transport, but to access it on the ground level, especially on foot to Canary Wharf is much more difficult. On the site the foot pathway has been disconnected. There are signs of pedestrian footpath usage at one point inside the fence, even though the site is now enclosed by fence. People have to walk through the car road on the right hand side, shown on the picture below. The route can be confusing for people new to be area, and some local jump over the fence, walking throught the site to get to the other side.

During the site survey, the architect recorded the various differ-ent pedestrian routes on the site.

Generally, people used routes number 1 and 9 from the resi-dential area, and the footbridge connecting Canary Wharf to the residential area.

Other common routes are number 2 and 6 which are from the direction of West India Quay DLR Station. Number 2 route is directly connected to the station, but route number 6 is linked to the dock side. People who use these routes are aware of the area and how to get to Poplar footbridge. Some local people even know about the site enclosed with a fence. Three teenage girls went across the site through a gap in the fence and over the road barrier. This is route 4.

In comparison, there were some people who lost their way completely. A young lady came to the site, and looked around, and got into the site through the fence gap which the teenage girls used. She got to the end and looked embarrassed to find she was blocked by a fence. After looking around the site again, she went over the road barrier. A middle aged man was in a similar situation, but he came back to the fence gap and found the pathway.

This observation led the architect to think about how the build-ing would engage the site. In the early RIBA stage 1, Concept Design, the proposed building is set back toward the north of the site to provide a clearer and safer pathway.

PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION THROUGH THE SITE

The pedestrian road from Poplar station to Canary Wharf has been dis-connected. There is crossing from point A to B, however, route from B to C have been blocked by the fence around the site. People are walking on the car road.

There is planning permission granted around the site, North Quay. There is not any sign of a connection indicated on the drawing submitted. North Quay has shown the pathway from Poplar footbridge going through North Quay to get Canary Wharf, but the existing way is still abandoned.

The new proposal for the restaurant will exist for two years on the site. It suggests a new pathway connecting Poplar footbridge and Canary Wharf through the site. The restaurant project would open up the locked space.

MATERIAL CHOICE

There are three main factors in choosing the materials for the project ; time, budget, and reusablity. First of all, light materi-als and quick to build structures are a concern because the buildings lifespan is very short. Timber structure is chosen, and parallel timber trusses for the ceiling to reduce the ceiling height as low as possible. This helps to retain heat in the win-ter. This is directly related to the passive heating system. Sterling boards are going to be used as exterior and interi-or finishing. Normally the boards are not used for outdoor purposes because they expand when exposed to water. A big advantage to use this material for the project is that the DLR flyover and flyunder act as shelter for the building.

However, DLR flyover dose not totally protect the building from weather conditions because there are gaps between the flyover and flyunder. The exterior sterling boards will be treat-ed with clear vanish to protect against light weather exposure. The boards also will be reused for construction material for the future projects.

The two main materials are going to be standard sizes which can be easily purchased from large DIY companies such as Wickes, to reduce the construction time and cost that are associated with custom sized materials.

FOUNDATION STRATEGY

One of the main advantages of the project are the existing DLR flyover and flyunder foundations. A shallow foundation system will be used for the pro-ject. Pre-cast concrete strips are going to be laid on 600mm deep trenches following the outline of the restaurant. The construction time will be signifi-cantly reduced.

When the building is dismantled at the end, the concrete strip can be easily removed and reused on other construction site.

8 WEEKS

5 WEEKS

Phrase 1 : Cinema Outdoor cinema and food caravan will be open first as soon as building consent granted.

Phrase 2 : SmokehouseSmokehouse will open second and start to sell smoked fish.

Phrase 3 : KitchenRestaurant will be ready in 8 weeks, and all programme including cinema, restaurant and cookery school is going to run properly. The food caravan will get removed from the site. Grand open will be held.

Building construction consists of three phases; cinema, smokehouse, and the the restaurant. First of all, the cinema will be installed as soon as Building Control is granted. It will take a week to finish the cinema construction with scaffolding, and the cinema will run with portable food caravan. This temporary event is going to advertise the upcoming smokehouse and restaurant.

In 5 weeks time, the smokehouse will be ready to sell smoked fish directly to people. Also, the smoked fish is going to be cooked in the food caravan to sell. The restau-rant is going to be ready in 8 weeks time. The cookery school is also organised at the same time.

When every programme is complete, a grand opening will be held by Hugh Fearnley- Whittingstall and the client, Tomorrow’s People.

This three phrase strategy will help the client advertise their project effectively, and start raising funds for the charity.

CONSTRUCTION SITE RISK MANAGEMENT

The location of the site is underneath the DLR flyover and flyunder. There are many columns on the site.

The cinema, restaurant and smokehouse include 6, 2, and 1 columns respectively. The height of the space is also considered for the design and construction. To reduce any chance of damage on the existing structure, prefabricated walls made in a warehouse and assembled on site are more suitable than using large construction machines.

Most of the area for the cinema and the kitchen is under the10m high flyover, and the pathway for the cinema, toilet and storage of the kitchen are under the 5m high flyunder.

The smokehouse is under the flyover. A 15m high smokehouse chimney is going to stick out through the hole in flyover junction. The chimney is also prefabricated and installed during the night when DLR doesn’t run trains.

The top Bird’s eye view from the north shows the moment when two trains pass by the site. The People in the left hand side train from Stratford can see the chimney with smoke com-ing out very clearly.

The chimney will be used as the main signpost and advert for the restaurant. People coming from Bank or Tower Hill also can see the chimney, and can also see the cinema and restau-rant more closely, and even the fish inside the restaurant and fish flying outside.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILSECTIONS

Prefabricated timber walls are made in a warehouse and assem-bled on site. Pre-cast concrete slabs are laid into 600mm trenches. Platform Framing is used for the general structure of the timber wall and floor.

The top of the concrete slab is 150mm higher than the ground level to prevent the timber structure from moisture.

There will be a round timber frame around the two columns going through the building. The gap inbetween the frame and the col-umns will be filled with sealer to block any water or insects coming through.

CONSTRUCTION ISSUESGROUND CONDITION

There are many manholes on the site. Some of them can be confirmed by the infomation on the manholes such as Mercury Communication which is a telephone company, and Thames water, DLR combine sewer.

Apart from the identified companies’ manholes, the other manholes have to be investigated to find whether it is possi-ble to move.

Doors on the floor will be designed, so that there is no diffi-culty in accessing the manholes.

PERFORMANCE STARTEGY

* Natural Ventilation (Different height of windows)

* Under Cover (High insulation rate)

* Recycled method (Bio mass boiler using industrial timber waste

* Heat again from activities in the building (Cooker extract, Smokehouse)

This is early scheme for the passive heating strategy drawing using heat from the smoking process. The smoke goes through the sealed wall, so that it acts as a heat insulation blocking the cold air from the outside and sealing the heat inside and even gain the extra heat from the wall.

PASSIVE WINTER SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGYUNDER COVER

Earlier Passive StrategySketch

HOT AIR Kitchen

Kitchen

There are three main points to achieve the passive heating strategy in the project. Firstly, high value insulation will be installed to get lower U-val-ues which means the building can retain warmth more. Secondly, using all activities in the building for gaining heat, especially cooking heat. The early scheme sketch on the left shows the principal of the way to use the kitchen duct.

The developed scheme doesn’t include the direct exposure like the early strategy sketch to reduce too much smell leaking to the dining area. The kitchen duct is still going through the dining area to release the heat.

The design of the building also responds to the idea. By lowering the din-ing ceiling, hot air is closer to the people sitting. There will be another heat gain from smokehouse. The smoke house is running 24hrs a day. Water pipes will be installed around the smoke room and connected to the dining floor. It would work like the initial idea which used smoke walls to prevent cold air and release the heat.

Page 28: DR -Seung Jong Park

28

PASSIVE SUMMER SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGYNATURAL VENTILATION

By pushing down the ceiling height in dining area, natural ventilation also works better because the pressure has gone higher. It causes the air to flow faster.

In the summer the long duct which be used, in the winter it will be blocked. There will be another short length duct connected to ceiling directly. The hot air will be extracted faster. It makes air flow in the kitchen is faster. People in the kitchen also have better work conditions in the summer using this system. The dining room is affected by the cold duct made of metal to cool down the hot air.

The location of the windows has been considered to use natural ven-tilation more carefully because there is a dual carriage way next to the restaurant. To use passive ventilation, windows on the opposite side of the road are lowered, and the road side windows are installed higher because cold air is always lower than hot air. The wind flow is from the lower win-dows to the higher windows to block the air pollution from the road.

Earlier Passive StrategySketch

NATURAL LIGHT STRATEGY

The location of the site is underneath two DLR flyovers, one is 10m high and the other is 5m high. A 100m tall building on the south of the site means there is much less chance to gain direct sunlight. However, the site is totally open to the sides. There is full access to daylight as well as the light reflecting off the tall buildings.

The panoramic photo below was taken on 10th October which is the similar light condition circled in red. The weather was cloudy.

The shadow study map is made in a sunny day situation. It shows the site is bright enough from the light source from sides.

To use the character of light on the site, long strip windows surrounding the dining area are applied. The left hand side windows are lowered and road side windows are high - this relates to the natural ventilation strategy.

Benefits of biomass heating

“The use of biomass in heating systems is beneficial because it uses agricultural, forest, urban and industrial residues and waste to produce heat and electricity with less

effect on the environment than fossil fuels.This type of energy production has a limited long term effect on the environment because the carbon in biomass is part of the

natural carbon cycle; while the carbon in fossil fuels is not, and permanently adds carbon to the environment when burned for fuel (carbon footprint). Historically, before the

use of fossil fuels in significant quantities, biomass in the form of wood fuel provided most of humanity's heating.

Drawbacks of biomass heating

On a large scale, the use of biomass takes agricultural land out of food production, reduces the carbon sequestration capacity of forests, and extracts nutrients from the soil.

Combustion of biomass creates air pollutants and adds significant quantities of carbon to the atmosphere that may not be returned to the soil for many decades.

Using biomass as a fuel produces air pollution in the form of carbon monoxide, NOx (nitrogen oxides), VOCs (volatile organic compounds), particulates and other pollutants,

in some cases at levels above those from traditional fuel sources such as coal or natural gas. Black carbon – a pollutant created by incomplete combustion of fossil fuels,

bio fuels, and biomass – is possibly the second largest contributor to global warming. In 2009 a Swedish study of the giant brown haze that periodically covers large areas in

South Asia determined that it had been principally produced by biomass burning, and to a lesser extent by fossil-fuel burning. Researchers measured a significant concen-

tration of 14C, which is associated with recent plant life rather than with fossil fuels.

The oil price increases since 2003 and consequent price increases for natural gas and coal have increased the value of biomass for heat generation. Forest renderings, ag-

ricultural waste, and crops grown specifically for energy production become competitive as the prices of energy dense fossil fuels rise. Efforts to develop this potential may

have the effect of regenerating mismanaged croplands and be a cog in the wheel of a decentralized, multi-dimensional renewable energy industry. Efforts to promote and

advance these methods became common throughout the European Union through the 2000s. In other areas of the world, inefficient and polluting means to generate heat

from biomass coupled with poor forest practices have significantly added to environmental degradation.” - Wikipedia

One of the main goals of the project is to reduce the carbon footprint and lower energy consumption. To achieve this, the architect and client chose timber as their building material and plan to reuse them when the project finishes. Passive heating and cooling systems are also part of their scheme.The kitchen need a boiler for hot water. The project consultant, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, suggests using biomass boiler. A big advantage during the pro-ject time is the fact there is a new mixed use skyscraper construction site next to it. The tactics is to get wood waste from the site and use it as biomass fuel. The construction site can reduce the industrial waste and my client can save the maintenance cost and also importantly can achieve the goal. The architect found a company called Hargassner which manufactures biofuel heating systems.

“Wood Energy is a leading specialist supplier of high efficiency automatic wood heating systems throughout the UK and Ireland. We are the UK’s exclusive distributor for

Binder and Hargassner wood chip and pellet boilers, both leading Austrian manufacturers of biomass boilers for over twenty years.

Wood Energy offers in-house design expertise for boiler applications up to 10MW providing heat, hot water and steam for almost any application; from offices, schools, and

hospitals to industrial processes. Our team of skilled commissioning engineers have successfully installed over 85,000kW of renewable heating with more than 300 projects

in our portfolio.” - Hargassner

WOOD CHIPS SUPPLIED FROM CONSTRUCTION SITEBIOSMASS BOILER FUEL STRATEGY

1:1000

12 3

Biomass boilers normally use wood chips for its fuel. The strategy for saving money for the maintanace fuel is gathering indus-trial waste from the North Quay construction site. This is a part of the decision about how long the project runs discussed at the early stage. Wood chips or any timber waste from the construction site are going to be used as boiler fuel.

There are three possible delivery routes from the construction site to the restaurant. Firstly, Route number 1, they can be transferred without any transport such as truck. This way could be the most simple way to deliver, however, there will be more labour force will be needed. Route number 2 is carried by a truck, but the truck has to stop in the middle of the road, therefore the client needs to contact the local council and Highway Agency. Last route, number 3, is the longest journey, but there would be more simple than route 2 because the regulation requirement would be less. It has to be confirmed. The delivery is generally short journey, therefore, Route number 3 would be the best option.

ECOLOGICAL VISUAL IMPACT & FUNCTIONSGREEN WALL

Noise Reduction

Natural Air Filter

Visual Impact

One of the first impression of the site is coldness by the materials used because the urban fabric is mostly raw concrete and steel around the siteThe site needs something to release this coldness visually with a certain function.Green walls are going to be used for the three purposes. First of all, it will give visual impact immediately. It also can be a new sign for the entrance way to Canary Wharf. Currently the entrance is camouflaged underneath DLR flyovers. It will be more welcoming to pedestrians and motorists. During the site survey, the architect observed one hotel door man waving his hat just next to the green wall in the photograph to inform a guest that he was coming. He would not need to do so with the green wall.

The green wall works as two type of barriers. It is expected to reduce the sound from the outdoor cinema to the hotel (left building in the photo-graph) and the residential building (right building in the photograph). The sound level of the cinema is already acceptable in the context. The green wall will even lower the sound impact on the existing building. As well as the noise reduction, the wall is going to act as a natural air filter from the road. The type of the plants will be big leaf plants because site is not fully exposed to the direct sun light.

FIRE STRATEGY

Escape routes thorugh the buildings

The restaurant is fairly small size, which satisfies the Building Control maximum distance for shops and commercial buildings of 18m, from any point in the building. There are two doors each end of the building, on the right hand side is kitchen door / fire exit, the other is only for fire exit.

The architect is hired by the main client, Tomorrow’s People with Hugh Fearnley -Whittingstall who is the main project consultant. He is also a design consultant for the restaurant. A quantity surveyor (QS) will join early at the stage to estimate the budget, so that the architect can give an initial cost plan for fund raising. The client will be advised to hire a Building Inspector to deal with any type of regulation, espe-cially because of the smokehouse. Design consultants include a structural engineer, Huge as the kitchen consultant, environmental engi-neer, and quantity surveyor.

PROCUREMENT METHOD

Intermediate Building Contract (IC)

Appropriate: ● where the proposed building works are of simple content involving the normal, recognised basic trades and skills of the industry, without building service installations of a complex nature or other complex specialist work; ● where the works are designed by or on behalf of the Employer, where fairly detailed contract provisions are necessary and the Employer is to provide the Contractor with drawings and bills of quantities, a specification or work schedules to define adequately the quantity and quality of the work; and ● where an Architect/Contract Administrator and Quantity Surveyor are to administer the conditions. This contract provides more detailed provisions and more extensive control procedures than the Minor Works Building Contract (MW) but is less detailed than the Standard Building Contract (SBC).Can be used: ● where the works are to be carried out in sections; ● by both private and local authority employers; ● where provisions are required to cover named specialists.Not suitable: ● where the Contractor is to design discrete part(s) of the works, even though all the other criteria are met –consider the Intermediate Building Contract with contractor’s design (ICD). 36 Price is based on lump sum with monthly interim payments unless otherwise stated. 37 This contract requires the Employer through his professional consultants to provide at tender stage a set of drawings together with another document. Where the other document consists of bills of quantities or work schedules, the Contractor is required to have priced it. Where the other document consists of a specification, the Contractor is required either to have priced it or, if only a lump sum is quoted, then also to have supplied a Schedule of Rates or a Contract Sum Analysis. The priced bills, specification or work schedules or, as the case may be, the Schedule of Rates or Contract Sum Analysis provide price data for the valuation of variations. The contract conditions and procedures are less detailed than those of the Standard Building Contract. All subcontractors, whether chosen by the Contractor or named by the Em ployer, are domestic, and their performance is the responsibility of the Contractor, although the Employer does assume additional risks in respect of Named Sub-Contractors whose contracts are terminated be cause of insolvency. For Named Sub-Contractors, the use of the Intermediate Named Sub-Contract doc uments is required. Even though a Named Sub-Contractor is a domestic sub-contractor, the Contractor is not responsi-ble for any design carried out by a Named Sub-Contractor. (See also Part 3 of this Practice Note.) 38 Provisions are included for advance payment and a bond for the payment of off-site materials. The contract only provides for limited fluctuations i.e. those arising from contribution, levy and tax changes. However, the Named Sub-Contract (see ICSub/NAM/C) also includes provisions for fluctuations by formula adjustment and any such amounts are adjusted under the main contract.

Traditional procurement and an intermediate building contract(ic) are going to be used for the project. The three factors that decide which contract are: cost, quality, and time. Usually, architects have to choose two key factors out of three. This project is about a pop up restaurant and cinema for two years. This means the main two point the architect have to choose would be cost and time. Design & Build procurement would be suitable. However, in this project, the structure and the construction does not require certain complex nature or other complex special work. Furthermore, the architect have a clear certain idea of construction sequence to save the time. Therefore, it is highly possible to achieve fully detailed drawings for the construction until the planning permission result comes out which is 2 weeks of validation and 6 weeks for the decision, total 8 weeks.

RIBA SCHEDULE OF WORK

THERE WILL BE A CHANGE OF THE RIBA SCHEDULE OF WORK FROM 21 MAY 2013. ARCHITECTS NEED TO RESPONSE TO THE NEW PLAN OF WORK NOW ON. “First developed in 1963, the RIBA Plan of Work is the definitive UK model for the building design and construction process, and also exercises significant influence internationally. The Plan of Work framework has served the architects’ profession and the construction industry well, but although it has been amended over time to reflect developments in design team organisation and alternative procurement arrangements, these changes have generally been incremental and reactive to changing circumstances rather than strategically driven. The RIBA has now taken the opportunity to undertake a fundamental review of the RIBA Plan of Work, to ensure that in its 50th year it reflects the very best principles in contemporary practice and to ensure that the RIBA continues to show strategic leadership at a time of rapid change in the construction industry.” - RIBA

Tomorrow’s People local charity is going to open temporary pop up fish restaurant which has a community cookery school, especially local young unemployed. There is a cinema showing Eal-ing comedies. Also, smokehouse will be built at the same time for the restaurant and off sale from directly to local people. Huge Fearney-Whittingstall helps to set up the general project and consult the restaurant and the cookery school.The building is going to achieve maximum sustainability using natural resource as much as possi-ble to reduce carbon footprint. The building material will be reused for the other building construc-tion site when the project finishes. The location is in Canary Wharf, underneath DLR flyover junction. The site survey will be held by the architect. Feasibility study will be prepared with the client and Hugh to clarify the aim of the project, key issues on the site and appropriate the size of the building. The project team is one architect and an architectural assistant. There will be full architecture ser-vice which covers RIBA stages C to K equivalent to the new RIBA stages 2 to 6.Procurement is going to be decided at this stage. Traditional procurement and Intermediate Build-ing Contract (IC) will be used for the project.

The main factors of concept for the project is temporary pop up which decided a light weight ma-terial and cheap. Timber is going to be used for the structure and sterling boards (OSB boards) for exterior and interior finishing. This raw material can be used with an advantage of less chance to be exposed to the weather underneath DLR flyovers. The material used will be reused for the other construction site when the project finishes. Therefore, the architect is going to plan how to disman-tle the building. The architect discuss with concept design and procurement method with the client. Construct strat-egy will be prepared which is using prefabricated timber wall. While the cinema open with port-able food caravan, the smoke house is going to built first. Prefabricated walls is going to be built at warehouse and transported to the site for resembling in a short period so that cinema runs with minimum disturbing by construction. Prefabrication method will be easy to dissemble the building. BIM 3D model will be used for the project even though the structure of simple nature. It will make construction period shorter by exact dimensions and joint sections.

The concept design will be developed with consultant’s information. First of all, structure engineer need to confirm the type of timber truss the architect can use for the ceiling. The architect tries to achieve lower ceiling in terms of environmental strategy which is passive heating and cooling sys-tem. The minimum amount of material usage also has to be confirmed by the engineer. Environmental engineer and architect discuss the best option for the service such as the location of the toilet and kitchen sink area to simplify the water pipes. Landscape has been decided at earlier stage through the site survey. The location of the building is going to be set back from the south to north to provide a pedestrian pavement connecting discon-nected current landscape. Planning application will be submitted as soon as the developed design is confirmed by the client. The application takes total 8 weeks to get a result, 2 weeks for validation and 6 weeks examina-tion.

THE PROJECT SCHEDULE OF WORK

During the time the planning application is being examined, technical detail drawings will be set with consultants such as structure engineer and service engineer. Mechanical & electrical draw-ings such as Means of Escape, water service, and lightings, will be prepared for Building control submission. Building inspector has to provide any certificate or confirmation for the smoke house has to be prepared at the stage especially in terms of health and safety. Curing facility design also has to be specified, and find a supplier. BIM 3D model will help to prepare construction sequence. Demonstration of construction se-quence with accurate joint point for resembling will be prepared. This gives a clear idea of con-struction and also the way of dismantling the building at the same time.

Design of smokehouse including smoking area and curing facility has to be confirmed. Fish con-veyor system is going to be confirmed by specialist.The chimney design will be discussed with Building inspector with the information of regulation and government legislation for the Health and Safety. At this point, most of the technical drawings will be ready to submit Building Control. Tender package is going to be sent to contractors. When the contractor is selected by discussion between the architect and client, the architect will have a meeting with the selected contractor for construction strategy.

Most of the building components will be prefabricated at a warehouse and transferred to the site when the foundation is fully installed. The architect will check the construction site regularly as CDM coordinator. This will make a good communication between construction team and design team whenever design queries arises from the site. Soft landing strategy has to be discussed at this stage to maximise the building performance because the project is using passive heating and cooling strategy such as the way to use kitchen duct which has two ways in the Summer and the Winter. The height of the windows are different to achieve the natural ventilation. Therefore, the information has to be passed to the building users.

BIM OVERLAY

The architect will advise the client on the benefits and purpose of using BIM for the project. It will help to estimate the quantity of the material, so the client can plan the right budget for the construction cost.

An initial BIM model will help the teammates communicate the design process and physical information for the prefabricated wall design as part of the construction strategy. 3D models can achieve complicated parts of the construction, such as connections and joints, which are often difficult to show with only 2D drawing information.

BIM models will be used to show the environmental strategy in an efficient way. Most importantly, it will produce information for planning application in a much quicker way than a traditional drawing system. because any plan and section drawing required can be produced and updated in a much efficient way with a 3D model.

In the construction site it will advise the contractor and labourers to understand general principals of struc-ture and construction on site.

GREEN OVERLAY

In the early stages, the sustainability strategy will be discussed with the client, which is one of the client’s aims of the project. To reduce the amount of material and time costs, the architect suggests to use the existing DLR flyover column foundations. As a result, the foundation for the new building is going to be shallow foundation sys-tem which is a pre-cast concrete slab will be laid in a trench following the outline of the building above the DLR column foundation platform. The concrete slabs will be reused when the building is dismantled.

Materials for the building construction are mainly timber and building fabric is sterling boards which can easily be used again for on future projetcs/construction sites. 100% of the material for the new building will be reused.

A biomass boiler is going to be used for the restaurant and most of fuel, wood chips, will be gathered from the North Quay construction site. The construction site can reduce it’s industrial waste, and the restaurant can save the maintenance cost, and at the same time reduce its carbon footprint.

PRECEDENTS

Studio East Dining

“While the justification for the London Games is a settlement projected decades into the future, the duration of Studio East Dining

was three weeks; the gap between the first briefing and the restaurant’s opening night was (what must have been for the architects)

a terrifying 10 weeks. Where the budget for the larger region is suffixed with an unfathomable amount of zeroes, this pop-up diner

was delivered for the price of a modest London back-extension. The pavilion’s cleverness is in the line it takes between perma-

nence and transience, and its exploration of what constitutes value.

The 800m2 dining room is placed on a 35m-high flat roof which presents fantastic elevated views, the Olympic site in theforeground

segueing seamlessly into the established city beyond. The object is sitting on top of a multi-storey car park that belongs to Westfield

Stratford City, a mammoth 1.9 million square metre shopping centre that when completed will be the continent’s largest. To gener-

ate interest in its forthcoming opening, the retail developer commissioned the project, produced in collaboration with bespoke east

London restaurateurs Bistrotheque.

Carmody Groarke’s design was informed by the project’s specific constraints. One of the earliest decisions was to borrow materials

already on the site, using workmen seconded from the shopping centre’s construction. The structure was made entirely from scaf-

folding poles; the wooden floor, panelling, even the tables, from planks. The translucent polyethylene roof membrane was bought

especially, but is, the architects are pleased to say, 100 per cent recyclable.” - Architectural Review

Cinema in Farringdon

“October 2010 – DuPont™ AirGuard® usually plays its key role of vapour control and optimising airtightness ‘backstage’ and dis-

creetly hidden from view within the building envelope. Normally it is this advanced membrane’s imperviousness to air and moisture,

together with its very low emissivity against radiant heat loss that gets specifiers excited.

However, for a recent ‘pop-up’ project in the design hub of Clerkenwell in London, it was the incidental beauty and robust-yet-light-

weight qualities of DuPont™ AirGuard® that were celebrated when a group of young designers converted a derelict petrol station

into a temporary cinema.” - e-architect

Frank’s Cafe

“The burning ball of hot gas that has dramatically appeared in the sky in recent days suggest that we might be inching towards

summer and, naturally enough, as the prospect of al fresco drinking becomes reality, thoughts turn to a rooftop in Peckham.

Now entering its fourth year, Frank’s Cafe and Campari Bar is a summer pop-up on the roof of Peckham’s multi-storey car park,

made out of timber and bright red stretched PVC, and assembled each time by a volunteer workforce. Accompanied by the hit-or-

miss Bold Tendencies sculpture show, the cafe’s word-of-mouth appeal pulls in trend-chasers, art school claques and food fetishists

from across the capital. It also offers some of the best views of London you’re likely to get south of the river, decent nibbles and a

cocktail menu largely based around, yep, Campari.” - Londonist

LEGAL LAND OWNERSHIP

One of the most important things the architect has to do is identify who owns the empty land. One thing you can never do in a professional service is guess. Geographically the land is within the ‘Canary Wharf’ area. However the land owner is Dockland Light Railway Limited (DLRL) and the land over the fence, indicated in brown on the drawing, is owned by the Canary Wharf Group.

The architect needs to contacts DLR to request whether the land is usable for the project. Also, further confirmation is needed because the smoke house is going to be situated on the border line.

FLOOD RISK INDICATOR

1. FloodplainA floodplain is the area that would naturally be affected by flooding if a river rises above its banks, or high tides and stormy seas cause flooding in coastal areas. There are two different kinds of area shown on the Flood Map. They can be described as follows:Dark blue shows the area that could be affected by flooding, either from rivers or the sea, if there were no flood defences. This area could be flooded:from the sea by a flood that has a 0.5 per cent (1 in 200) or greater chance of happening each year;or from a river by a flood that has a 1 per cent (1 in 100) or greater chance of happening each year.(For planning and development purposes, this is the same as Flood Zone 3, in England only.) Light blue shows the additional extent of an extreme flood from rivers or the sea. These outlying areas are likely to be affected by a major flood, with up to a 0.1 per cent (1 in 1000) chance of occurring each year. (For planning and development purposes, this is the same as Flood Zone 2, in England only.)These two colours show the extent of the natural floodplain if there were no flood defences or certain other manmade structures and channel improvements.2. Flood DefencesThe purple line shows all flood defences built in the last five years to protect against river floods with a 1per cent (1 in 100) chance of happening each year, or floods from the sea with a 0.5 per cent (1 in 200) chance of happening each year, together with some, but not all, older defences and defences which protect against smaller floods. Flood defences that are not yet shown, and the areas that benefit from them, will be gradually added. Hatched areas benefit from the flood defences shown, in the event of a river flood with a 1 per cent (1 in 100) chance of happen-ing each year, or a flood from the sea with a 0.5 per cent (1 in 200) chance of happening each year. If the defences were not there, these areas would be flooded.Flood defences do not completely remove the chance of flooding, however, and can be overtopped or fail in extreme weather conditions. For information on flood defences which are not yet shown on the map, contact your local Environment Agency office.

Flood risk is one of the biggest issue globally, and areas in London have a high chance of flooding. The flood map on the left shows that the site is in a flood zone without flood barri-ers. The architect would have to check the flood risk indicator certificate.

In this case there is a very low chance of flood to the specific site. and the design response that it does not require any type of anti flood function for its two year building lifespan.

The architect has to check whether the site is in any conservation areas or listed building at the beginning of the project. There are many conservation areas and listed buildings in London. Each London borough has their own interactive map to check for conservation areas and listed buildings. The architect has to research and give any advice to the client. For example, if a building is in a conservation area, you cannot distract the facade of the building with any type of new addition such as a roof extension. It has to be not visible from street level to keep the character of the street.

There are a few listed buildings and conservation areas around the site, but there are not any conservation issues directly related to the site. The architect does not need to consider any conservation regulations in this case.

The architect has checked whether the site was in any conservation areas using Council Interactive. There were not any directly related conservation issues, but sometimes unlisted facts on the map arise when you research the area using planning application viewer.

In this project, there was an extension of the DLR flyunder, and it goes past a listed structure, the Banana Dock Wall.

The structure is far away enough to not consider, however, the architect has to check these kind of factors as early as possible in the project.

“Cllr Nilgun Canver, cabinet member for the environment, said: “We recognise the unique nature of this family business and its importance to the local community, and we are really keen to help find a solution in the best interests of everyone involved.

“We have been working closely with Mr Purkis to help him find a way to reopen the smokehouse while also reducing the impact on neighbours.

“It has now been agreed Mr Purkis will re-open the smokehouse and we will support him over coming months to help him up-grade the smokehouse equipment.”

CLEAN AIR ACT 1993

“6 Arrestment plant for new non-domestic furnaces.

(1)A furnace other than a domestic furnace shall not be used in a building—(a)to burn pulverised fuel; or(b)to burn, at a rate of 45.4 kilograms or more an hour, any other solid matter; or(c)to burn, at a rate equivalent to 366.4 kilowatts or more, any liquid or gaseous matter,unless the furnace is provided with plant for arresting grit and dust which has been approved by the local authority or which has been installed in accordance with plans and specifications submitted to and approved by the local authority, and that plant is properly maintained and used.

7 Exemptions from section 6.

(1)The Secretary of State may by regulations provide that furnaces of any class prescribed in the regula-tions shall, while used for a purpose so prescribed, be exempted from the operation of section 6(1).(2)If on the application of the occupier of a building a local authority are satisfied that the emission of grit and dust from any chimney serving a furnace in the building will not be prejudicial to health or a nuisance if the furnace is used for a particular purpose without compliance with section 6(1), they may exempt the furnace from the operation of that subsection while used for that purpose.”

- The National Archives (Legislation.gov.uk)

The smokehouse is the most difficult part of the project in terms of government legislation. It is related to the Environmental Protection Act 1990, and the Clean Air Act 1993.

The project is not exactly the same situation as the Crouch End smokehouse described to the left. However, one of the main factors of the project is the very similar reason of reintroducing smokehouses and reviving a forgotten British cuisine. It is a type of food campaign against unhealthy fast food.

To deal with this issue in an effective way, the architect will recommend that the client hire a building inspector (Building Control Surveyor). They will be in charge with the authority to con-trol the Building Regulations.

In terms of reducing the risk, the architect will discuss with the client the idea of having two con-tracts for the project. One is for the cinema and restaurant, and another is for the smokehouse and curing room. This would enable the client to run the cinema and restaurant without delay.

“Prince Charles has stepped in to save a fish smokery from clo-sure after the family which owned it were told to close down by a town council which received one single complaint about the smell of kippers.

The Prince of Wales, a strong supporter of traditional and organic foods, has stepped in to help the owner of the business, John Purkis, whose family has been in the fish business for genera-tions.

Last week a female member of the Prince's staff came to see the Purkis family and asked for details about what had happened.”

“National standard proposed

In the United States, advertisers and film companies are given a recom-mended maximum noise level of 87db.

The BSi has put together a recommended UK maximum noise level of 85db for commercials and trailers. The recommendation is out to consulta-tion until 30 September.”

- BBC News

There is an outdoor cinema on the site. The level of sound from the cinema has to be considered because there are residential blocks and a hotel within 35m from the sound source.

Sound decibel levels have been investigated in five places around the site. The site is next to a dual carriage way, Aspen Road, and situated underneath a DLR flyover and flyunder. Most of the time the decibel levels on site are a similar level to film trailers, which are generally louder than the average decibel of a film.

The outdoor cinema noise will be filtered using ‘green walls’ made of plant pots hanging on scaffolding. As a result, it will minimise the impact on surrounding buildings, and even block some noise pollution from the dual carriage way. The sound certificate must be checked by a service engineer and the local authority.

“PLANNING STANDARD NO2: NOISE

1.1 This standard is referred to in Policy DEV2 in the Environment Chapter, concerned with the general environmental impact of development proposals.1.2 Noise is the most urban of forms of pollution. The most significant noise pollution comes from various forms of trans-port- road, rail and air. In Tower Hamlets construction activity is another major source of noise pollution. There are three approaches possible to controlling the source of, or exposure to, noise:-1. Engineering: reduction of noise at source; improving sound insulation of sensitive buildings; screening by purpose built barriers;2. Lay-out: adequate distance between source and noise-sensitive building or area; screening by natural barriers, other buildings, or non-critical rooms in a building;3. Administrative: limiting operation time of source; restricting activities allowed on the site; specifying an acceptable noise limit.Several of these measures may be incorporated into the design of a development proposal.”

FILM PUBLIC SCREENING LICENSEREGAL ISSUE

“Under UK copyright law, a commercial (paid audience) or non-commercial (free of charge) event, fundraiser, film society, or outdoor events wish-ing to play a film in public will generally require the consent (licence) of the copyright owner before doing so. ‘In public’ means, broadly speaking, to an audience outside of his/her domestic or home circle. If a commercial (paid audience) or non-commercial (free of charge) event, fundraiser, film society, or outdoor event does not obtain the required licence they risk infringing copyright.Please refer to the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (and other relevant legislation) for full details or seek independent legal advice.So, in nearly all cases, if you are playing films outside your domestic or home circle, you will need to obtain a licence to do so. Please ensure you are showing your films within the law and your commercial (paid audience) or non-commercial (free of charge) event, fundraiser, film society, out-door events are screening films legitimately.The Single Title Screening Licence (STSL) is issued on a title-by-title basis. This allows the licence holder to screen films in either commercial (paid audience) or non-commercial (free of charge) environments as well as promote the screening outside of the venue itself.Films are often available 10-12 weeks after cinema release and prior to being available to rent or buy on DVD or Blu-Ray, providing the real benefit of exclusivity.The Single Title Screening Licence (STSL) covers all films from our list of participating studios/distributors as set out in the participating studios page or you can call Filmbank on +44(0)20 7984 5957/8.However, from time to time it may be necessary for Filmbank to withdraw certain films from the Single Title Screening Licence (STSL) – a list of such excluded films will be posted from time to time on the Single Title Screening Licence (STSL) participating studios page.The Single Title Screening Licence (STSL) is ideal for Film Societies, outdoor events and festivals, fundraising, themed evenings and meal deals as well as venues who wish to show films to a paying audience.Filmbank has one of the largest film libraries in Europe and a full list of titles available under the terms of The Single Title Screening Licence is contained in our Film Catalogue.”
