TECHNICAL REPORT.SITEANALYSIS.Lille has been an important town since 1066 when it was called L’Isla (meaning the island) given its name as it was located on an island in the middle of a marsh. Lille is a city in the centre of France’s fourth-largest metropolis containing 1.2 million people. It has a history of industrial and textile industry decline that caused huge numbers of unemployment, but more recently is much more involved in the service sector.

Solar shading and the placement of my building will be dependant on creating a comfortable environment in both the sun and shade and during all hours.

This wind rose (left) shows that the prevailing wind in Lille mainly comes from the South West. This should be taken into consideration when designing my building for ventilation strategies.

From conducting a solar analysis the diagrams show shadows cast on the site and different times of the day throughout the year.

From the site analysis the sun angles can be and strategies can be formed from this.

The site is in full sunlight during the majority of the day throughout the summer period. In Winter the western side of the site has a couple of hours of sunlight in the middle of the day. I considered this when designing the public outdoor spaces in my scheme.

I wanted to have a naturally lit auditorium space and therefore placed it on the southern part of the site.

HEATING & COOLING.ENVIRONMENT

Offices

SUMMER NIGHT.SUMMER DAY.Warm air is filtered

through and the area is ventilated to keep the required temperature

inside.

WINTER & MHVR SYSTEM.

Heat is stored in thermal mass concrete and is

released.

Space is warmed aswell as cool air regulating the

temperatures inside.

Earth tubes - cool air is drawn through the earth tubes and warmed by surrounding earth.

Underground spaced are kept warm due to surrounding earth storing heat.

MHVR recycles heat from exhaust air to warm fresh air entering the building. Efficient insulation in the building and walls increases

the thermal comfort within.

Openings (i.e windows) in the ceilings and walls are closed in order to keep heat in.

Heat gain - Lower sun angle means the lower glazed areas receive daylight.

NATURAL LIGHTING.Making the most of the natural lighting is key especially when designing for various purposes on the site.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING.To help lighting during the day and at night, artificial lights are used.

TECHNICAL REPORT.ACOUSTIC.ENVIRONMENT

128 seater auditorium located in the southern part of the site raised 3 metres above ground level acessed by staircase or lift. Maximising the acoustic quality within the performance auditorium is key. Acoustic panels have been incorporated in my design to help redirect soundwaves from the performer to the audience.

Large amounts of concrete is used in the construction which absorbs a certain amount of outdoor noise and therefore enhancing the experience within.

Concrete walls surrounding the auditorium stop vibrations.

GRAVITY.STRUCTURE

The plan of my building consistents of a shallow plan and therefore reqires few columns. The primary beams take the main loads and transfer the load to the thicker columns down the structure to the pile foundations.

GRAVITY LOAD BEARING STRUCTURE.

The main span is the auditorium which spans 18 metres meaning a beam of 900mm is necessary to support the free from column structure.

1:200

GROUND FLOOR PLAN SHOWING COLUMN LOCATIONS.Primary load bearing structure are the columns entirely made of Aluminium.

Some colums serve as services such as drain piping whereas others are purely structural.

The majority of the load bearing structure is supported by the 210mm and 180mm columns. The extra smaller columns allow for a reduced beam size.

PRIMARY STRUCTURE.

SECONDARY STRUCTURE.

Primary beams within the graffiti and dance studios are based on a gird system of 2400mm between each column which are rigidly connected at both the top and bottom for support.

STRUCTURAL GRID SYSTEM.

TECHNICAL REPORT.LATERAL.STRUCTURE

A rigid structure is enhanced with cross bracing reinforcement.Where the span is more than 6 metres a reinforcement column has been placed in the middle for added support.

LATERAL STABILITY SECTIONAL DIAGRAM.

Straps on faces of the studs form vertical cross bracing

Resistance to wind uplift

Columns are connected to the concrete foundations at the bottom and at the top they are connected to steel floor beams.

There is a high level of pre-assembly and simple efficent assembly at the building site during construction.

STRUCTURAL SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING.

HORIZONTAL DISPLACEMENT.The column dimentions consist of the larger load bearing ones at 210mm down to 180mm and the last columns at a diameter of 150mm.

An inclination of 5 and 10 degrees on some of the columns simulates the same effect as cross bracing, for lateral stability.

COST PLAN.RISK ASSESSMENT

BUILDING COSTS.Using data from SPON’s Architect and Builder Price book and look at precedents in the UK and France similar in size and material use, a prediction of the total building cost was made.

COMPONENT COST £/m2SUBSTRUCTURE 450

SUPERSTRUCTURE 1200FURNISHES 550SERVICES 820

Budget produced by the King Kong design for the Maison du Folie Hip Hop Centre is between 8.5 and 10.2 million euros, therefore my estimation seems relatively accurate.

Building Area: 2,470m2

2470 x 3020

TOTAL CONSTRUCTION COST = £7.46M = €8.7M

Total cost per m2: £3020

RISK ASSESSMENT.CONSTRUCTION

Working at height- Pecautions to prevent falling when working at height.

- Work equipmnetn to prevent falls.

- Minimise the distance and consequences if someone was to fall.

- Scaffolds, nets, soft landing systems.

- Harness (Personal Protection Measures)- Weather conditions

- If any work can be done beforehandand then lifted

IN - USE

- As part of the outdoor graffiti space is located on the roof of the graffiti studios, there is a risk during use for people to climb over the protective balustrades.

- Due to the graffiti studios being 6 metres above ground working at height is an issue in most stages of the life of the building.

- The dance studios are placed on numerous columns which may result in settling problems in the foundations or movement of the whole building due to this particular use.

- The design and construction of the building must be thought out extremely carefully.

DEMOLITION

- Because the steelwork can be re-used after use in my current design the careful de-construction is important.

- Use of a crane to remove the steelwork from a height of 3-6 metres down to ground level is crucial.

- Being aware of pedestrians and residents surrounding the site when demolition is extremely important not only for safety but health issues too.
