R I C S A R BPROJECTS UNLIMITED
RICSARB’s design was assessed by a committe of Prof. de Ridder, Dr. Heildigger and conceptual non-‐performing energy scientist Dr. Gordon Maxwell-‐Clark as the most practical, cost effective and ‘ontologically deep’ of the 8 competition entries for its fragile temporality and unsustainability. By separating the building vertically and horizontally you provided nearly equal amenity and flexibility to each of the required 8 creative enterprise work/learn/play/eat/sleep units of approx. 100 m.2 . Your scheme also avoided the complex addtional fire escape provisions of other entries whilst maintaing access to the main chapel building and the adjacent Monday to Friday School. Moreover its use of standard components appealed to Jack De Ridder. He lives in an ‘Inter-‐action’ style shipping container house in Kentish Town and was deeply impressed by your proposed extensive use of off-‐the-‐shelf Key Klamp tube connection systems, standard UK 46 mm diameter steel and aluminium scaffolding tube, FH Brundle open mesh Rhinomixte steel flooring, Knauff boards, and and VELUX GEL and electronically controlled GGL units. Part of the brief was to show how Prof de Ridder’s own design for flat-‐pack 4.0 m.2 students work/sleep stations could be deployed and your ‘wayfinding by imitation of the example Mac strore’ narative was much admired. The selection committee was also impressed by your BIM computer analysis of passive heatflows and fire engineering and was generally in agreement with your reluctance to allocate inhabitable space to specific functions. There were adittionally impressed that you were able to show that when the building is occupied by its full complement of 100 beings and their I.T. and lighting and environmental systems then the O/A fabric loss for a temperature difference of 20 degrees C could be met almost entirely by waste heat from multiple i-‐mac, wi-‐fi router, NAS, server, printer, phone charger, electronic swipe-‐card door locks, fire detection, CO2 detection, automatic ventialtion and solar blinding and rain sensing and sprinkler system and anglepoise outputs. The figures per K were as follows: Ground floor 250 m.2 @ U = 0.5 = 125 W Unaltered external Walls 700 m.2 @ U = 0.9 = 630 W Insulated roof 300 m.2 @ U = 0.3 = 90 W Rooflights 50 m.2 @ U = 3.0 = 150 W Existing windows and doors 50 m.2 @ U = 7.0 = 350 W TOTAL fabric loss 1,345 W / K TOTAL fabric loss for 20 K = 27 KW Average electrical use gain per occupant x 100 occupants = 200 W x 100 = 20 kW It is assumed ventialtion losses will be equivaltent to human heat outputs as ventilation will increase automatically with the level of occupation in order to keep CO2 exhaust levels below 450 p.p.m. Cooling is therefore proposed over much of the year by multiple condensing units positioned on the flat roof over the western staircase Unfortunatley, however, Drs. Heildigger and Maxwell-‐Clark want further devlopment of the scheme’s poetics and somewhat disapprove of it’s many straight lines. There are no party wall issues to delay the scheme at present because all the surrounding properties are owned by COUL. However, Prof. de Ridder likes the flexibility to dispose of university assets on a peicemeal basis and at very short notice and has asked for all changes to the building to be easily reversible for this reason.
RIBA3 exam scenario Aug 2011 for issue of scenario 17 August and written papers A + B @ 24 August In July 2011 and as junior ( 30% ) partner with Rick Saab and under the banner of his new joint venture RICSARB Unlimited -‐ architects and project managers, you win an invited competition between 8 teams of architects + project managers under 30. The competition brief was to re-‐organise and adapt the existing Hall that is part of the Uni Chapel complex south of the Highbury and Arsenalton roundabout. The competition sponsor is the Cosmopolitan University of London PLC. ( COUL ) The submission had to include the production of a fully-‐costed business plan and was a part of its recently published estates strategy which assumes that all its institutional functons will gradully be accommodated in residential accommodation by the mid C.21. Drawings are attached. The grade 1 listed Uni Chapel itself has recently been leased for 40 years by Prof. Jack De Ridder, the deeply cost-‐sensitive new CEO of COUL for use as a Non-‐Performing Arts venue by COUL’s new Faculty of Creative Enterprise (FOCE) much of which is to be relocated from a sattelite campus that is being mothballed until the lease runs out. The new venue is to become immediately available for exhibitions and lectures and conferences and other activities studied in the ever-‐popular MA in Events Managagement of ever-‐increasingly Scarce Resources offered by COUL. A feasibility study of improvements to technical and backstage facilities is currently undertaken in the expectation that internal improvements will be implemented soon after the completion of the current £ 1,5 M EH-‐funded restoration and repair works to the building’s spetactcular Victorian tower, designed by James Cubitt c. 1880, due to be completed in late 2011. On the back of your March 2011 competition scheme COUL / FOCE has obtained government funding to construct 8 ‘starter’ live/work/learn/play-‐studios within the shell of the present adjoining unlisted Kentish ragstone Hall on Compton Avenue. Jack de Ridder’s idea to reduce the cost of higher education by combining Hall of Residence and Hall of Training in a single instutions charging less than £ 5 K p.a. for a full-‐time fully-‐residentiai course. The 8 units: UpperEast, LowerEast, UpperMidEast, LowerMidEast, UpperMidwest, Lower Midwest and UpperWest and LowerWest, will house design degree fee-‐paying interns who will work for the principals of ‘emerging’ London design firms with unsalaried teaching appointments with COUL. The enterprise will operate under the motto ‘work makes rent free’. Sleeping, laundry and sanitary facilities will be provided on site but hot food is to be obtained by residents from local 24/7 fast food outlets and not cooked on the premises. ( except throwaway barbecue trays on the roof terraces and boiled water for drinks and soups ) The grade 2 listed Georgian terrace houses to the north of the Chapel have all recently been converted to senior executive offices / workhomes by COUL and will house the staff of the FOCE for the start of the new acadecmic session in September 2011. Dr Zyg Heildigger is the client representative for the uni chapel site works. Dr Helidigger is also the Rupertian Professor of Phobosophy and Advanced Mendacity ( previously History ) . His imperatives as a client are to maximise the deviations from conventional wisdom in the devlopment of ‘clearly defined spatial, temporal and causal agendas’ for the organisation of work, sleep, life, play, education and energy ( AKA ‘being ) broadly speraking in accordance with the aarguments set out in his 2010 Doctorate on the Global Theory of the unity of News, Entertainment, Sport, Political Propaganda and Education as developed as a worldwide brand by Rupert Murdoch, Rebecah Wade and Any Coulson.
The work has to be completed and occupied by the end of the current financial year in March 2012. Outline Planning permission for change of use from the present use as a hostel for the homeless to live/work units has already been obtained and an application for detailed planning using your competition entry drawings was submitted to the London Borough of Arsenal by Dr Heildigger in June 2012. It has, to date, raised no local objections. Moreover, since the chair of the planning committee is a personal friend of Prof. de Ridder it is hoped it will be passed for approval by officers in early September 2011 under delegated powers. RICSARB has been paid the £50,000 prize awarded to the winner of the competition but which is now to be deducted from any subsequent fees under any further project-‐specific appointment. It is in this context that you are currently appointed under a letter of Intent as Project managers, Costs Consultants, Surveyors and Architects, subject to a maximum level of reasonable expenditure up to the £ 50,000 that you have already received. You have already used £ 5,000 of this advance fee to pay Buro Haptic PLC, who signed a collateral warranty to COUL in repect of a structural appraisal of the existing building. Buro Haptic’s report confirms that:
• the existing sub and super-‐structures will, with minor modifications, bear the loads of three proposed additional ‘mezzanine’ floors to be formed of scaffolding that is to bear on the ground and 1st floors and
• that new metal-‐framed plasterboad-‐faced ‘party’ wall beween units can be supported on the 2 existing and 1 new ground to 2nd floor crosswalls and
• thet the 4 existing steel scissor trusses that support the roof and that the purlins they support are strong enough to be trimmed to allow the insertion of 6 south-‐facing Velux roof balconies and photovoltaic and solar panels to this elevation.
Another £ 10,000 has been spent on a 1:20 laser-‐cut hinged cut-‐away model which COUL are now using for publicity purposes. RICSARB have just been asked to propose a programme and fee proposal for fully designing and tendering the works in late October 2011. This is because of the uncontrovertial reception of you proposals by LBA planners to date and the fact that only the largely hidden south elevation is to be changed significantly, ( the W,E & N elevations are unaltered appart from some new ground floor entrance doorways from the alley to the north). Another factor is the urgent need get the works tendered and on site as soon as possible if the grant is to be taken up in full. The current project budget is £ 1.0 M, this is the estimated cost stated in your competition scheme based on an area of approximately 1,000 m.2 @ £ 800 /m.2, plus £ 200,000 budgeted for consultant’s and local authority fees. COUL can recover the VAT for the presumed ‘educational’ use so VAT is not accounted as a project cost.
