Spitalfields & Banglatown Ward

Population: 8,383 This area within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets forms part of the council ward of Spitalfields and Banglatown. Its name represents the modern association of the Bangladeshi community with this area and neighbouring Brick Lane. My building design responds to a hypothetical dissection of the Spitalfields and Banglatown ward into two parts one of which is a state in its own right and responds to recent extremist movements calling for the Banglatown and Brick Lane area to be under its own jurisdiction. As such, my design acts as a border control centre and temporarily houses select immigrants who are looking to invest in the new state.

Key Items
The Project Brief
The design and erection of a border control station and high quality residential units with associated facilities and parking, including the creation of new public, landscaped space, within a 6 month timeframe, with minimal disturbance to neighbouring buildings and infrastructure.

Required Project Outcomes

Quick erection of development (social-political responce); Low energy performance building; Efficient automated border control system (elimination of discrimination); Creation of new public Space; High quality design; Low Life-time and Maintenance Costs;

The public space to the raised ground floor plaza level is punctuated with brightly coloured platforms, which direct the user to their destination, whether that be across the border or into the Inter-State residency. As part of the building project, the existing accesses on either side of the site will be connected via a border control station for the movement of cars. However, as the Bangla-State will be a largely pedestrian area, this will be reserved mainly for VIP use.

Reliance Industries Ltd. Profile: The Reliance Group, founded by Dhirubhai H. Ambani (1932-2002), is Indias largest private sector enterprise, with businesses in the energy and materials value chain. Groups annual revenues are in excess of US$ 58 billion. The flagship company, Reliance Industries Limited, is a Fortune Global 500 company and is the largest private sector company in India. Reliance enjoys global leadership in its businesses, being the largest polyester yarn and fibre producer in the world and among the top five to ten producers in the world in major petrochemical products. Project Drivers: This project is a great opportunity for Reliance to show their support to overseas Bengalee Communities and advertise their brand prior to establishing an international market, while promoting sustainable, energy efficient living counteracting bad press against their oil energy products. Objectives: Promote International Relationships Create Positive Press Support Overseas Bengalee Community Promote Investment in Bengalee Community Low Life-time Costs

Clients

Tower Hamlets Council Profile: The London Borough of Tower Hamlets is the Local Authority for the Spitalfields and Banglatown Ward, and will be the officials for border control during and after the Ward division. They will partner with Reliance for this development and will manage the building after completion. Project Drivers: The site is currently owned by Truman Brewery, who have no intention of selling due to their land banking strategies. In the case of this project, Turman Brewery will longlease the land to the clients in return for payment of the revenue created from the new residential units within the Inter-State. Tower Hamlets Council and Indian Company Reliance Industries Ltd. will collaborate into a Partnership for this project. Reliance will provide the majority of the funding and Tower Hamlets Council will manage the building postcompletion. The development will fulfill the need for a user-friendly automated border control system, which seeks to eliminate discrimination and educate users on cultural differences. The project also seeks to treat the border as a transparent, integrated area in order to create a feeling of unity between the two sides without physically being as such. Objectives: Efficient Border Control Quick Erection Low Life-time and Maintenance Costs Build Inter-State Relations Respond to Unitary Development Plan Objectives

PART 1: Introduction

PART 2: Architectural Management

The architects responsibility is to interpret and develop the clients brief during the various stages of the project. First the architect will define the Clients requirements in a Design Brief which will assist the design team in their work. The architect, with assistance from the design team, will then: Identify constraints; Advise the Client in terms of feasibility studies and option appraisals; Arrange site investigations and surveys; Establish the preferred solution; Advise on sustainability; Manage initial health and safety issues; Develop the design; Obtain Client sign off of the design at appropriate stages; Advise on materials selection; Prepare construction drawings and specifications etc.; and Prepare a design which meets all the clients requirements, including budget and timescale.

The Architects Role & Responsibilities

The architect acts as the leader of the rest of the design team and consultants, and co-ordinates their specialist input with their own. At Stage D the architect will prepare and submit the Planning Application in co-ordination with the rest of the Team. During the works on site, the architect will assist the Clerk of Works in monitoring quality on site. At handover the Architect will assist in ensuring that the works are complete and that the clients needs have been met, and will continue their involvement through the Defects Liability period, and the final resolution of defects. After novation (in the case of a Design & Build Contract), the Architect will work for the contractor and will no longer be in the direct employment or control of the client.

The Project Brief

The design and erection of a border control station and high quality residential units with associated facilities and parking, including the creation of new public, landscaped space, within a 6 month time-frame, with minimal disturbance to neighbouring buildings and infrastructure.

Selection of Consultants, Advisers and Contractors

As the client is not familiar with UK property and planning law, and will not have a working relationship with any particular contractor or consultants, it is the duty of the architect to recommend the consulants, advisors and contractors deemed suitable for the project. The following is a list of the key team members to be appointed for this project: Main Contractor CDM Co-ordinator Employers Agent Quantity Surveyor Civil Engineer Planning Consultant Fire Consultant Landscape Architect English Heritage Secure by Design Consultant BREEAM Consultant

Issues to Consider Pre-Contract

Before a contract is made between all parties concerned, several areas require consideration to enable the architect to select (and revise if appropriate) the right contratual document to enable the project to be procured effectively. The key areas are as follows: 1. Required project outcomes. 2. The project brief. 3. Selection of consultants, advisers and contractors. 4. The construction procurement process.

The Construction Procurement Method

In order to select the most appropriate construction procurement method the client must be made aware of the potential risks involed within each area, including how the differing methods are likely to affect design quality and financial risks to the client. The procurement method must also be determined on the desired level of client involvement.

PART 2: Architectural Management

Land Owner
The site is currently owned by Truman Brewery, who have no intention of selling due to their land banking strategies. In the case of this project, Turman Brewery will long-lease the land to the clients in return for payment of the revenue created from the new residential units within the Inter-State. During the Design & Build contract period the lease on the site will be transferred to the contractor for site security responsibility purposes.

Clients
Tower Hamlets Council and Indian Company Reliance Industries Ltd. will collaborate into a Partnership for this project. Reliance will provide the majority of the funding and Tower Hamlets Council will manage the building post-completion.

The CDM Co-Ordinator will be appointed by the client to oversee health & saftey on the project, inform the client of their responsibilities and report back to HSE

Procurement Method

Architect
The Architect will work up to stage E to achieve planning permission before being novated by the client onto the contractors consultant team via a tripartite agreement between client, consultant and contractor.

The select procurement method is Design and Build. This has been selected on the following merits: 1. 2. 3. It is proven to be one of the fastest methods of procurement. The clients and architect have less liability One client is largely overseas and will not be able to oversee the works effectively, and the other is a Council who, it is assumed will feel more comfortable with less risk involved. High level of financial security to the client as cost is finalised before works commence. Suppliers Engineer

Contractor
Mace have provided contractor services to many award winning developments, and are very experienced in all building sectors.

Consultants

However, Design & Build is not without its risks: Due to the design element being controlled by the contractor, costs are prioritised and design quality can suffer. To reduce this risk he initial works, up to stage E, will be carried out by the architect and then the architect will be novated by the client onto the sub-contractor team, as it is in the clients interest to maintain design quality.

Project Timeline: RIBA Stages of Work

Project Timeline

Key Due to time constraints within the brief, the project is required to be completed 12 months from inception. As illustrated in the timeline above, the majority of the design and pre-construction work occurs for 5 months before construction and production information is continuously developed alongside the construction works for three months, allowing a speedier process. After practical completion the building is handed over to the client and the building is inspected, users are assisted during the inital occupation period, and the project performance in use is reviewed.

Avoiding & Managing Risk In Construction Logistics

During the design process it is important to consider the impacts of the design upon the construction and/or use of the building. One such element of this scheme is the ability to transport and erect the 24 Glulam members, as some of them reach up to 13 meters long and just as wide due to their shape. To overcome issues of transportation the members will be constructed in two parts: One consists of the structural column and the other curves round to form the ground floor lighting strategy, which is suspended from the ceiling. The coloumns will be fitted before the ground floor plate is cast, and the second will be lifted from the ground floor and fitted in place before the fist fix electric works commence. The adjacent image shows how the members can now be easily transported to site using this method.

Avoiding & Managing Risk In Construction Site Delivery & Storage

There are two access points to the site: One off Osborn Street to the East, and the other off Gunthorpe Street to the West. Gunthorpe Street, however, is only a small road with a dead end, therefore Osborn Street will be the primary access for deliveries. During Phase 1 of the project, the intention is that vehicles will enter Osborn Street from Whitechapel High Street, and reverse onto the site via the existing access before off-loading its contents into the storage area shown on the diagram. Deliveries will need to be taken outside of office hours so that the neighbouring commercial buildings accesses are not affected, and traffic should be low. A Highways officer will need to determine whether this is a suitable arrangement before work commences. During Phase 2 a permit will be required for the delivery vehicles to park on Osborn Street, as this is when landscaping will be carried out. The contractor will also need to arrange delieveries of materials in such a way that the need for storage is reduced.

Avoiding & Managing Risk In Construction Access: Neighbouring Buildings

3D Image Showing Possible Access Areas to Neighbouring Buildings (NTS)

The neighbouring buildings to the South of the Site are a mixture of commercial and public buildings, which are likely to require rear access for deliveries and fire escape routes. As the proposed development consists of both building and landscaping works, the two will have to be phased so that the hoarding can be in a position to enable access to the necessary areas during the building works, and then dismantled when the building is secure to allow landscaping and infrastructure works to be carried out. It is possible that certain areas of landscaping works will need to be carried out on saturdays when they should have a minimum affect on the neighbouring businesses. In any case that accesss will be affected, consent will need to be sought from the building owners.

Avoiding & Managing Risk In Construction Noise & Working Hours

Construction Noise Distribution Diagram

Under the Control of Pollution Act 1974 Environmental Protection Act 1990, noise pollution from construction works must be forcasted and controlled wherever possible. Before construction commences a noise survey will be carried out in order to determine the maximum levels enforced during construction works. This will have an effect on how the construction is undertake in certain areas. The contractor will be required to submit documentation to Tower Hamlets Council including: Manufacturers literature relating to noise emissions from plant machinery. A programme of works to be carried out on site and the associated noise levels. A method statement detailing the measures taken to control the noise pollution from plant machinery.

In addition all construction works must be carried out within the Tower Hamlets Local Authority enforced working hours for construction sites: Monday - Friday: Saturday: 0800 - 1800 0800 1300

Work is not permitted on Sundays or Bank Holidays.

Avoiding & Managing Risk In Construction Rights to Light

Common law states that all building owners have a legal right to maintain levels of daylight from windows within their building. Any new development must not adversely affect the levels of daylight to any neighbouring buildign by more than 20 percent. Although Rights of Light are not within planning legislation, impacts of the proposed development on daylight and sunlight levels will be taken into consideration during the planning process. It is likely that a Daylight/Sunlight Study will be required for the project. The exisitng building that will be most adveresly affected in terms of sunlight is the EDF Energy substation at No. 27 Osborn Street, which is located along the North boundary of the site. There are currently several windows along this South elevation. However, there is approved planning consent for this building, which includes the removal of these openings (see drawings opposite).

CDM Regulations

As the construction will take longer than 30 days, the project will be notifiable to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Therefore the client will need to employ a Construction (Design and Mangement) (CDM) Co-ordinator who will advise the client on their health and safety obligations and oversee constructon works. The CDM Coordinator will report to HSE regularly. The adjacent table details the key roles and duties of each profession.

Issues to Consider Post-Completion Building Performance Indicators

After the building has been handed over to the client and is being used, key performance indicators will be used to assess the success of the project. These may include the following: Amount of renewable energy created by PV panels; Thermal performance of the building (ie. temperature levels measured at regular intervals throughout the day); User feedback; Border control effficiency (ie. waiting time in line and number of issues); and Daylight levels within different areas of the building. The structural integrity of the building (ie. movement)

Design & Build

The Design & Build procurement method allows cost certainty for the client and transfers risk to the contractor. The architect will create a design package including all stage D drawings, room data sheets and an accommodation schedule to allow for the pricing of the works by the contractor in what is known as a Single Stage Tender. The contractor then prices the work as a fixed fee to the client, within which are all anticipated sub-contractor and consultants fees. For the client to maintain a degree of control over the design quality is it advisable to novate the architect onto the contractors consultants so that construction drawings can be performed by the architect. It is also recommended for the Quantity Surveyor to work alongside the contractor and architect to work out any cost issues in such a way that design quality is not adversely affected.

State Offices (570m2) Located on the lower ground floor in a fully insulated space, this area of the building is constructed from in-situ concrete and glulam columns.

Service/Plant Rooms (550m2) As the building will be managed by two seperate parties on either side of the border, the plant room is split into two and operated seperately. This will have a significant impact on costs as two sets of machinery will be required. However, it is unavoidable.

Stair Cores Due to the divided nature of the site across the border, four stair cores are required, two of which will need lifts. However, they are constructed of in-situ concrete and form the main element of the primary structure, reducing additional structural costs.

Cost Planning Sustainability

PV Panels
The 88 Photovoltaic (PV) panels to be installed on the roof of the residential area are proposed to power the majority, if not all, of the building. This will significantly diminish the running costs of the building once completed and earn additional income for the owner. Unused energy is proposed to be fed directly to the neighbouring EDF Energy Sub-Station, which porovides electricity for the whole of the Tower Hamlets Borough. The adjacent figures for residential and commercial energy use are based on calculations of average energy consumpiton in central London as of 2005. However, it is likely that the energy consumption will be less in the proposed building due to sustainable methods of construction within the design.

Surplus Daily Energy: EDF Energy purcase rates:

Cost Planning Modern Methods of Construction

Typical One-Bedroomed flat External View

Cross-Laminated Timber
This method of construction significantly reduces construction time and material waste, both of which have a direct impact on the build cost. As the cross-laminated timber panels are constructed off-site from the architects drawings, which are prepared in consultation with the supplier, quality control is high and the inital construction of the panels is not affected by weather conditions, or impeeded by other factors on site. After the panels are transported to site, they are craned onto the concrete structure and fixed in place by a dedicated and experienced team. This process has been known to take as little as a week per floor on residential projects such as the Stadthaus apartments in London by Waugh Thistleton Architects. Therefore construction costs will be significantly reduced in terms of labour and crane hire.

Principle Project Drivers & Objectives

One of the principle project objectives affecting cost is to create a sustainable building that costs very little to run and maintain. This will be achieved through the selection of low maintenance materials with high thermal mass, renewable energy creation (PV panels), and passive ventilation systems. The programme of the building means that the ground floor and basement will not require climate control, which will significantly reduce the running costs of the building.

Aerial Image Showing Right of Way and Diversions

Highway...a way over which the public have the right to pass and repass. UK Common Law The Highways Act 1980 sets out the requirements relating to construction work on or near a highway. the key requirements of the act include: Permission by formal agreement from the Highways Authority for any works to highways; Licences are required for permission to place temporary obstructions on the highway; Deposition of mud or other such materials on the high way is prohibited; Surface drainage from a construction site must not be allowed to run across the footway part of a public highway.

In the last phase of the construction, hard landscaping works will be carried out on site which butts up to the highway. In order for these works to be carried out, a small area of the pavement will need to be closed. It is also a possibility that a Section 106 aggreement will require a new pavement to be constructed to deal with the higher footfall levels. The contractor will need to consult with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets at the initial project stages to assess the adverse affects of closing this area of pavement and alternate methods of construction. Licences for this closure or part closure will be required prior to commencement of the works. All diversion will need to be defined by clear signing, and any closed routes blocked off by a continuous barrier.

Planning Legislation Conservation Areas & Listed Buildings

The site resides in the Brick Lane & Fourier Street Conservation Area of Tower Hamlets. Planning legislation states that consent is required for the demolish of any building within a Conservation Area that is more than 115m3 in volume or a gate or fence that is more than 1m high where abutting a highway, or more than 2m elsewhere. Conservation Area Planning Consent Application Form is attached as Appendix B The proposal will need to be in accordance with Planning Policy Statement 5: Planning for the Historic Environment. Discussions with a Planning Consultant would benefit the case and will give direction to enable a befitting development proposal. However, in the case of this project, it will be in Tower Hamlet Councils best interest to approve the demolition of the existing, disused buildings on site as they are a fire risk due to vandalism. They will also be keen for the border control to be moved through quickly.

Property Law
Long-Lease
The site is currently owned by Trumans Brewery and will be long-leased to the London Borough of Tower Hamlets (LBTH) for a set period of time which would be around 50 years, or as long as the building is anticipated to exist. This is a contractual agreement between the owner and the lease-holder and can be renewed after the stated period if both parties agree. During the Design and Build contract period the property lease is typically transfered to the contractor, the main reason being to transfer legal responsibilities of security. Meaning that the contractor will be held responsible for any trespassing on site during the construction and consequential injuries. Therefore it is in the interest of the contractor to carry out his duties in terms of repairing any damage to hoarding etc. When the building is handed over to LBTH, the lease will also be transfered. Rather than paying Trumans Brewery ground rent, it is possible that the two parties will agree to a transfer of residential income from the development.

Adjoining Owners & Boundaries Party Wall etc Act 1996

Key Party Wall 3D Image Showing Party Wall to No. 27 Osborn Street

The proposed building works will involve the construction of a concrete sub-structure against part of a wall belonging to EDF Energy at No. 27 Osborn Street (shown in blue). Under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 Tower Hamlets Council will need to submit a Party Structure Notice (see appendix C) to EDF Energy at least 2 months before they wish to start the works. If agreed, the agreement is valid for 1 year. In accordance with the Party Wall Act works can be started no earlier than 2 months from the submission of the notice with written consent from the adjoining owner. If EDF Energy does not agree to the works an agreed surveyor will be appointed by Tower Hamlets Council with the agreement of the adjoining owner (otherwise 2 surveyors can be employed to draw the party wall agreement up together).

The agreed surveyor must be an impartial party and consider the implications for both owners. They will draw up a Party Wall Award, which consists of an outline of the works to be carried out, and how and when they will be carried out. The Party Wall Award is final. A Right of Support will also be required between No. 27 Osborn Street and the proposed building. The contractor will have to provide support to the party wall during and after the proposed construction works. This will probably be included in the basement tanking structure, but will require a structural engineer to assess.

If you plan to excavate,or excavate and construct foundations for a new building or structure, within 3 metres of a neighbouring owners building or structure, where that work will go deeper than the neighbours foundations you must inform the adjoining owner or owners by serving a notice
The Party Wall Etc. Act 1996: Explanatory Booklet Communities and Local Government This also includes basement structures which are within 6m of a neighbouring building when taking a 45 degree line from the foundations. However, this does not apply to any of the buildings in the vacinity other than No. 27.

As previously stated, the proposed works include excavation of just over 5m. This will be directly against No. 27 Osborn Street for up to 10m along the Party Wall. The Party Wall etc Act also includes basement structures which are within 6m of a neighbouring building when taking a 45 degree line from the foundations. However, this does not apply to any of the buildings in the vacinity other than No. 27. In addition to the Party Structure Notice, EDF Energy will need to be served with a 3/6 Metre Notice (see appendix D), which must a state the structural intentions of the proposal with regards to supporting the party wall.

Existing Site in Context

All previous planning applications for proposals on the site in the last 10 years have been withdrawn by the applicant. This may be due to several reasons, but the most likely cause of application withdrawals is adverse feedback from planning officers and/ or opposition from locals. However it could be to do with new information arising, which results in necessary changes to the proposal, or funding issues. Unfortunately the planning database does not hold any drawings for these applications, therefore an in-depth analysis cannot be carried out with the sole use of the adjacent information.

Planning Applications Appeals

If a planning application has been refused or taken more than 8 weeks, the applicant can make an appeal against the Local Authority to the Secretary of State within 6 months of the date of decision. Appeals can also be made against conditions attached to an approved planning permission if they are deemed to be unreasonable. In the case of an appeal it is often good practice to revisit the design in light of Planning Officers comments and/or reasons for refusal before making an appeal. Otherwise it is very unlikely that a good case can be made and approved. Most appeals are decided on the basis of written representations, plans and a visit to site by the planning inspector.

There are two ways in which the decision can be made: 1. Public Inquiry A public inquiry is carried out when requested by the Local Authority, the applicant or the Inspectorate and requires the Inspectorates agreement. Witnesses and respresentatives are questioned or cross-examined and anyone involved may use a layer to put their case. For this reason a public enquiry is a lot more expensive than a hearing. 2. Hearings Hearings are less formal, and therefore less expensive than a public inquiry. However, this method is not suitable where there is high public interest in a case.

A decision is then made by the Inspectorate and sent to the applicant and Local Planning Authority. An appeals against the Inspectorates decision must be made within 6 weeks to the High Court if it is deemed that the INspectorate has not followed proper procedures or has exceeded their powers. If this appeal succeeds the case will have to be heard again

The Architects Legal Duties & Responsibilities

Honesty, integrity and competency, as well as concern for others and for the environment, are the foundations of the Royal Institutes three principles of professional conduct set out below. All members of the Royal Institute are required to comply. THE THREE PRINCIPLES:

RIBA Members are expected to conduct their practice of architecture in accordance with all relevant legal requirements (such as business, tax, discrimination, disability and employment law), without it being necessary to mention specific legislation in either the Code or guidance notes. A breach of the law, as evidenced by a finding by a recognised court or tribunal, may be considered as evidence against a member, should a complaint about his or her professional conduct be made. RIBA, Explaining an architects services
The following three key areas are legally required for an architect to practice in the UK: 1. All architects are to hold Professional Indemnity Insurance when carrying out architectural works. 2. All architects must practice in accordance with the RIBA Code of Professional Conduct (see opposite). 3. CDM 2007 legislation places legal duties on the architect as a dutyholder of health & safety.

PRINCIPLE 1: INTEGRITY Members shall act with honesty and integrity at all times. PRINCIPLE 2: COPETENCE In the performance of their work Members shall act competently, conscientiously and responsibly. Members must be able to provide the knowledge, the ability and the financial and technical resources appropriate for their work.
