4IntroduconThe eects of the use of space in our cies is a response to the ‘nature’ of its surroundings and notably, human nature is the most fascinang aribute to global evoluon.With considerations to design and engineering to achieve a net zero environment, I am takingan approach to target the interaction between humans amongs each other and collaborating to achieve global targets. Humans, Nature and Archihtecture are interlinked and with focus on Architecture to connect society in creating global peace can also reectin the environmental nature. For this project my aim is to address social issues of rascism in the UK by celebrating the progression of humanity with the issue and the potential within modern youth and future generations to eliminate racial discrimination. e Black British Millenium Culture Centre in Bristol is aimed to celebrate the Afro-Caribbean society that identify as British and have adapted in the UK from African and Caribbean heritage.

58Individual Proposal Concept & Brief Development

60ConceptThe redevelopment on the proposed ‘Resilient City’ site aims to create a disnct urban space to encourage, empower and educate the community whilst celebrang the Black Brish Culture moulded by African, Caribbean and Brish Cultures. Its purpose is to indicate the trails and tribulaons faced within the African-Caribbean diaspora* that has eecvely inuenced the modern youth culture in the UK.To achieve this goal the structure will be set to reect Learning and Exhibion opportunies in various forms that eciently encourage, empower and educate. The LEM approach will cover Learning, Exhibion and Market as the key building soluon to the objecve. It provides opportunies to explore black audio & visual creavity whilst providing the opportunity for self-coordinated learning E M P O W E RIMPORTANCE OF EMPOWERMENTAer the 2020 BLM protests the world became exposed to a community that was ‘fed up’ and the black community united as one to express emoons on concealed issues. BLM movement provided a plaorm for individuals of black ethnicity to confront these issues whether at work, school, socially, and all sorts. The Community Centre proposal intends to echo this movement by providing opportunies for voices to be raised about local and global agendas, this includes panel discussions, intellectual debates etc.…E N C O U R A G EIMPORTANCE OF ENCOURAGEMENTIn the UK growing up as a black (minority) child is always dicult and comes with challenges that may not even be acknowledged. In an African/ Caribbean community becoming successful is usually a tale of ‘rags to riches’, and a large number of black children only ever dream to make it successfully in any eld. Underprivileged backgrounds, crime and violence, neglecon and many other aspects are key contributors to the failure of many children. The Encourage objecve of the proposed Community Centre aims to showcase, upli, movate and create equal opportunies for success for all children and young adults. E D U C A T EIMPORTANCE OF EDUCATIONThe UK’s underlining issue with racism is the fear of backlash and judgement and so unknowing-ly many racial acons and statements may go by unaended. Educaon is the key to a healthy growth in the community and the best way to teach is to allow to ask quesons. The proposed Community Centre will run sessions and seminars that will teach culture, language, history and more, and allow quesons to be asked by all ethnic groups.

61Black Brish ExcellenceFor decades the Black Brish Community has been labelled inferior in the UK. Racism is sll within the community today, as a “hidden asset” but society insists that we’ve dealt with it when truly we haven’t.The RESILIENCE of the Black community is what has shaped the IDENTITY carried by the people today! And there is a need to CELEBRATE this Culture as it has single handedly shaped the Modern Pop Culture amongst the YOUTH across the naon and the planet.Taking into account the HISTORY of the culture to form such a vibrant modern emblem it is evident that the Black Brish Community must present opportunies for the “Next Generaon” to thrive from what is established today! “I CELEBRATE MY HERITAGE BY THE WAY I DRESS, THE FOOD I EAT AND THE STORIES I SHARE” - HARRY PENIRORADICAL THINKINGpivotal events and pioneering guresCREATIVE MINDSdance - sculpture - music - fashion etcARCHIVAL LEARNINGhistory - cultures - ask WHY foundations

62Inial Material Research

63Black History & BristolStatue of Protester Jen Reid, 2020Bristol Bus Boyco, 1963Historically, Bristol remains a resilient city, refusing to comply to racism and pioneering movements country wide from the Bus Boycos in 1963 where Black skinned residents of Bristol chose to walkor cycle across the city than to sit on the bus in response to the racial agendas at the me, this would have an impact on the bus companies as Black riders were the majority of public transport usage across Bristol.The Black Lives Maer in 2020 protests in the UK saw the recogni-on that Edward Colston was a slave trader. He built many historic buildings in Bristol using slave trading money. The protest in Bristol revolved around the nearby statue of Edward Colston being pulled down and thrown into Bristol harbour.“The toppling of Edward Colston’s statue in Bristol was a moment of global reverberaon in the ght for racial jusce, and A Surge of Power” (Jen Reid) 2020 is an artwork

In most designs terracoa comes in two standard thicknesses, 24mm and 30mm.But a variety of panel lengths and heights can be ulized to create a modern, natural aesthec parcularly to capture the pure African aesthec required for the BlackBrish Millenium Culture Centre.

105DiagramsPRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSIONPRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSIONPRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSIONPRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSIONCorten Steel PanelsCorten panels provide a ruggedy look that can easily portra the “rammed-earth” look of the tradional lost architecture of africa in my previous study. Designers call this look te “ruggedy beauful” look.Corten is highly corrosion resistant much like the resilient city plan of the site and the resilience of the black brish community previously discussed. Making the material a subliminal representaon of the culture hence presented in the large central structure of the building.Other potenal benets of incorprang corten to the building is the minimal maintence required whilst maintaining its aracve appearance.Engineering Brick with “dirty look”Africa thrives on brickwork for their modern residenal buildings as it signifys the eorts of hard work and resilience. African projects typically start with the purchase of individual bricks and in countries such as Zimbabwe this is a sign of development and wealth when an individual has bricks in possesion. As a point of aracon the outside theatre will be surround by this noon of richness and allows the passer-byers to experience.

125BREEAM:Daylight levels, Energy eciency, Health and Producvity, are all interlinked. These can all be assessed by the building-specic environmental assessment tool ‘BREEAM’. A high level BREEAM assessment means: > Developers can promote the high environmental performance of the building which increases the value of the building. > Designers can quanably demonstrate the environmental achievements of their work. > Owners can audit the building from an environmental point of view with the aim of making cost savings. > Empoyers can reassure employees that their working environement is healthy and of high environmental quality.The Black Brish Millennium Culture Centre aims achieve BREEAM rang: Outstanding. To achieve this the following has been considered and imple-mented into the design strategy: > Energy: post occupancy evaluaon and energy monitoring to incorporate energy-ecient enternal lighng, transportaon systems and equipment > Transport: public transport accessibility, proximity to amenies, cyclist provision and minimum car parking capacity. > Land use and ecology: carefully considered site locaon, migang ecological impacts, and long-term impact on biodiversity. > Health and Well-being: Visual comfort by solar shading, indoor air quality by AHUs, thermal comfort in all rooms, acousc performance in all spaces, safety and security provided by CCTV cameras, > Water: water monitoring, leakage detecon and prevenon, water ecient equipment. > Waste: construcon waste management, recycled aggregeates, and operaonal waste > Materials: responsive sourcing of materials, reducon of night-me light polluon and surface water run-o > Management: sustainable procurement as well as stakeholder parcipaon

128Venlaon StrategyAll spaces have been condioned to meet the required supply of air constantly through out the year in accordance to building regulaons and the values for space types specied in CIBSE Guide B and C.The strategy is split into the two seasons Summer and Winter and the building is further split into 3 zones (the oor levels).Summer me:Ground Floor is ed with large span of glazing with openings large enough to capitalizeon the eects of cross venlaon which happens in three seprate spaces: Gallery - Recepon Area - Cafe.First Floor studios (South wing) and the theatre are condioned to have sepeerate AHUs on the roof and in the 1 st oor plantroom respecvely. These rooms will be mechanically venlated throughout the year as funcons, usage, equipment, occupancy levels, lighng emissions will constantly vary and will require fast response. The Bar Lounge Area (North Wign) and Waing Lounge (central) however will capitalize on the potenal for stack venalon with two stack shas desgined in the North wing and a large double spaced area with high level window opennings in the waing area.Second Floor will be naturally venlated with convenonal operable swing windows in small spaced oce and class rooms allowing for natural venalon to be eecve.Winter Time:Ground oor spaces are venlated in the winter through the use of displacement shas with integrat-ed design to desguise the appearance. Cafe will have a cutlery table with grille openning at low level allowing air in, and the Gallery will have two plynths that hold artwork, sculptures etc also with grille opennings at low level. The North wing and Central block will be condioned by one AHU and the South wing seperatly with another Unit all units are roof mounted.First oor as previously discussed the will condioned by AHUs for the studios and theatre however in the winter the Bar Lounge and Waing Lounge will also be condioned by the displacement integrated design from the AHU used on the Ground oor. In the Bar Lounge is similar to the Cafe with benches and stools ed with low level grille opennings.The Second Floor is designed to be condioned with AHU in the classrooms and oce spaces - and the library will capitalise on the displacement venlaon sha as on the ground oor and rst oor. This system will be disguised as library bookshelves consisng of low level grille openning to venlate the library space.

131The Theatre and Studios are condioned via AHU systems with a self sustaining water Schemac. This will be favourable to the use of equipment and varying occupancy gains due to acvity from dancing, singing, drumming etc... F1 plant supplys heat to the Theatre space during the winter me similarly to the Studio system and controlled to t the occupancy of the theatre space which varys throughout the day, week, and seasons.Radiators are in the classrooms, meeng rooms, toilets and storage / plant spaces which can be controlled and set to follow the regular space usage. The Domesc Appliances introduces hot water to heat the basins in the Kitchens (ground oor and top oor).Greywater is distributed into a nearby system implemted in the Masterplan located next to the building.Second Floor (F2)

Given that spaces consisting of radiators also include the bathrooms and the plantrooms – using the rule of thumb guide, as well as other sources, sizing the boiler for a load of 5kW throughout the building allows for contingency for managing heat load. And therefore ‘Worcester Bosch Greenstar 9i System Gas Boiler’ is a 9kW systems boiler with an energy efficiency of 93% and can hold up to 15 radiators Advantages of this system: - Condenser boilers are environmentally friendly, energy efficient, compact, and cost efficient. - Condensing Boiler System, Flow = 70°C/ Return = 50°C Mean Water Temperature = 60°C - These boilers are also compatible with solar water heating systems which was considered for heating water on the South wing, which deliver environmental benefits as well as lower-energy costs. - Typically used in homes with 2+ bathrooms the load capacity suits this building type economically and environmentally. - In compliance with Part L of Building Regulations 2010 – ROT for a multiple and single boiler system must have a minimum seasonal efficiency of 82% (multi-boiler 86%)

139South Wing Venlaon DistribuonThe schemac shows the layout of the second oor South Wing venlaon ductwork along with the owrate (l/s), velocity (m/s), pressure drop (Pa/m), duct size (m), into each space that requires mechanical venlaon (as specied in the Venlaon Strategy Diagram pg#).The total pressure drop was calculated forthe longest run on this oor (AHU to the Rehearsal room [room no.##] using pressure loss factor values calculated from CIBSE Guide C tables and gures inchapter 4 as appropriate to each bend and intersecon (Excel Spreadsheet next page).Main duct maximums meet the standards recommended in CIBSE Guide B2 Table 2.16 of 7.5m/s in oce spaces as well as 0.7Pa/m. The largest duct from the riser has a diameter of ##mm and thereforewill t into the proposed ##mm ceiling voild allowing addional room for future developments and maintenance.Primarily the ductwork is circular and ed with control dampers for balancing meaning there willbe control actuators to opperate the blades.Index Run: S1 - S7The layout can be replicated as a rule of thumb to the rst oor with alteraons in some rooms due to occupancy dierences.

As a Rule of Thumb I have also assumed the air ow supplied into the room will be the same as the amount extracted. Therefore 2 ducts in the risers with diameters of 560mm will require the riser to have a oor area of 1.25m2. The proposed riser of 1.5m x 1.5m with oor area of 2.25m2 will allow for installaon, developments, repairs and maintenance of theductwork in the system.

142Air Handing Unit2 of the AHU’s and 1 on the Second Floor are used to heat and cool the mechanically condioned spaces in the building. Heat Recovery system (recirculated air) is used to lessen the work required by the unit making it run more eciently.Cooling coils and heang coils are supplied by the water system in place from the storage tanks on the 1st Floor. Air Source Heat Pumps on the ground oor - water is heated and stored on ground level and dirstributed across the building including to the AHUs to heat the incoming fresh air and the recirculated airIssues with ltering have recently led to concerns over the use of full heat recovery systems.It may be necessary to consider other means of heat recovery such as including a thermal wheel for mixing.

143Heang and Cooiling requirements:The total mechanical load required in the building for the mechanically condioned spaces is ##kW, ##kW, and ##kW for the South Wing, Theatre and North Wing respecvel.These were calculated using the Rule of Thumb Guide for the enre system aer calculaons were made for Dance Studio 2.(room no.##) using bechmark values for the sensible gains obtained from CIBSE Guide A.AHU Selecon:Given that the load required is ##kW, ##kW, and ##kW and with supply rates of 1.43m3/s for AHU3. The unit selected is SWEGON GOLD CX size 014 for supply and 020 for return.

144CIBSE Guide A table 1.5 suggests >5 ACH for general building toilet. A total of 192l/s of extract is required due to the bathroom layout and volume. And therefore the maximum air velocity required to ensure pressure drop does not exceed 0.7Pa/m is 6.2m/s.Therefore the diameter of the duct required for extract in the WC Ground Floor would be 620mm and ##mm for 1st and 2nd oor allowing to t perfectly in the 800mm ceiling void of the bathroom.The diusers set out for the bathroom is SWEGON EXC extract air terminal which can allow for 8-12 extract terminals to extract at a rate of 31.88l/s - 21.25l/s each (respecvely) to acheive 192l/s.WC Mechanical VenlaonWC Ground Floor LayoutTotal Volume (V) = 86.4m2ACH = 8achExtract Air Volume = V x ACH = 86.4 x 8= 691.2m3/h = 0.19m3/s = 192l/s

150Lighng Lux Level RequirementsBased on CIBSE GUIDE A Table 1.5 for Recommended Comfort Criteria the adjecent diagram shows the targeted lighng levels for each space. Majority of the ground oor and rst oor requires low lux levels of up to 200lx, where as the second oor which con-sists of the library, classrooms, oces etc will require more lighng intensity and therefore use of arcial lighng is necessary.First oor will require arcial lighng in the studios and theatre, however across the ground oor and the bar lounge on rst oor these spaces may only require arcila lighng usage on days with lower daylight (cloud coverage).From Table 1.5: Recommended Comfort Design Criteria: Circulaon SpacesCafe & RestaurantBar & LoungeGalleryKitchenToiletsTheatreMusic StudioDance StudioLibrary lending and reference areaLibrary reading roomClassroomOce & Meeng Spaces200lx50 - 200lx100 - 200lx200lx150 - 300lx100lx50 - 200lx50lx200 - 300lx200lx500lx300-500lx300-500lxGround Floor (F0)
