6 Dec 2016 Motionspot and Ryder Architecture crowned winners of the prestigious Celia Thomas Prize

Held at the Palace of Westminster, the international competition to design an accessible hotel room of the future was run in association with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and Bespoke Hotels. The competition attracted entries from around the world including Germany, Russia, Hong Kong and Canada. Entrants competed across a range of categories, including Product and Service Design, as well as the Celia Thomas Prize, worth £20,000 – believed to be the largest cash prize in the UK for a design concept.

Specialist accessible design company, Motionspot and international design practice, Ryder Architecture’s collaborative winning entry – AllGo, is a unique, universal approach to hotel room design to ensure that all rooms are functional, flexible, accessible and beautiful in their design.

AllGo will deliver personalised, accessible hotel rooms across the world, removing the barriers to travel and creating truly inclusive environments for guests. Each room can be adapted to the needs of the user through integrated and flexible design features that can be modified before the arrival of the guest.

Motionspot and Ryder will now look to realise the design concepts and aim to roll out pilot rooms in the coming year. It is hoped this will act as a catalyst illustrating the potential of a hotel environment, delivering beautiful, functional and fully accessible rooms.

Ed Warner, founder of Motionspot said, “Accessible hotel room design can be a real headache for architects, hotel operators and users alike. In collaboration with Ryder, the competition gave us the opportunity to create a concept that redefines the design of hotel bedrooms and bathrooms so they deliver the individual access requirements of guests without compromising on the aesthetics of the environment.”

David McMahon, associate at Ryder said, “We are extremely proud of the concept we have developed. Our collaboration with Motionspot has allowed us to create aspirational and inclusive environments for all. We hope that this paves the way in accessible design illustrating that good design should meet the needs of all.”

The entries were judged by a panel which included Paralympic gold medallist Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, Stirling Prize winning architect Alan Stanton, and Baroness Celia Thomas herself, gathered in the Autumn to assess the submissions.

How Ecological MEP (M&E) Solutions Can Be Aesthetic Too

They say that a ‘green’ building can never look good. Environmentally friendly, ecological, sustainable or ‘green’ buildings are terms to describe both a building/project and its construction process that is environmentally responsible and resource efficient, right from its planning and design stages through to its maintenance and demolition. Just like ‘what’s good for you usually doesn’t taste good’, what’s good for the environment may not necessarily be aesthetically appealing. Solutions can be found in the scope of energy-efficient MEP (M&E) design which incorporates innovative aesthetic ideas. Sustainable MEP engineering design must work in tandem with creative architectural planning. The use of BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology can play an important role in the process, using specific tools such as Revit BIM software.

Sustainable engineering can have a significant effect on conservation and comfort. The orientation and shape of a building can affect its MEP systems performance. Industry sources surmise that early design stages can impact 90 percent of a building’s environmental effect. So, sustainability is considerably influenced by the shape, location, look and feel of a structure. Renewable energy options include ‘energy-saving’ technologies, which efficiently use and save natural energy and generate energy, and ‘energy-generating’ technologies, which generate and use energy. A thorough understanding of the principles is required to help design a sustainable system. Expert and experienced architects and MEP designers and engineers need to collaborate, analyse and review cost, quality and scheduling to provide sustainable or ‘green’ buildings that look attractive. Consider both the energy-saving and energy-generating technologies below:

Energy-saving Technologies

– Reduce energy use in HVAC and lighting – MEP design must consider ways to reduce the cost and impact of lighting, heating and cooling systems, as lighting and HVAC systems are responsible for 25% and 32% energy use, respectively, in a building.

– Optimising the use of natural light, natural ventilation, natural heating and cooling sources – Designs that accommodate more natural light inside, installation of sensors, natural heat sources and eco-friendly light fixtures and bulbs can minimise energy loss in these systems.

– Conserve water – Low-flow fixtures, such as low-flow faucets, can save water by using 40% less than the quantity used by standard fixtures. Low-flow toilets reportedly save approximately 2.2 gallons of water in every flush.

– Reuse water – Gardening and toilet flushing do not require drinking water. Greywater systems use water previously used for washing, which is still relatively clean, for gardening and toilet flushing.

– Reduce electricity consumption – Turn off lights, computers, office equipment, heating and cooling systems and other appliances, when not in use.

– Using combinations – Switching between electricity use through renewable energy sources, such as solar energy or wind energy, and regular power lines and determining the size and location of the systems can help save energy.

– Reduce carbon dioxide emissions – Efficient HVAC systems and timely, proper maintenance can reduce carbon emissions significantly.

Energy-generating Technologies

– Human power generators – In special cases, gym and health club treadmills and stationary bikes can be hooked up to power lighting and services. Kinetic flooring tiles can be used in dance studios and football stadia.

– Roof–mounted wind turbines – Cost-effective wind turbines operate at all times with constant output.

– Solar panels – Rooftop or ground-mounted solar panel systems use photovoltaic cells to convert solar energy to electricity.

Architecture can be creatively designed to incorporate natural light and ventilation features, low-flow fixtures, greywater systems, turbines and solar panels into the entire building’s design.

Sustainable design can thus be achieved by reducing the use of non-renewable resources, minimising waste and developing healthy environments. Smart sustainable design practices can help MEP systems be reliable, ensure comfort to the building’s occupants and help environmental conservation.

According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, buildings account for:

– 39% of total energy consumption

– 12% of total water consumption

– 68% of total electricity consumption

– 38% of carbon dioxide emissions

Sustainable buildings or ecological MEP solutions can further optimise the environmental performance of a building and save costs at any stage of planning, construction or demolition by:

Proper site selection

A building’s location, orientation and landscaping can affect the local ecosystems and energy consumption. Storm water runoff can be reduced/treated at a well-planned site. Landscape design can use greywater systems. Parking and perimeter lighting can impact energy consumption.

Customisation of operational and maintenance practices

Materials and systems that require less water and energy can be customised for the building, so that maintenance becomes simple and saves costs.

Granted that the use of sustainable MEP practices has significant impact on the environment and ecological systems, many designers and architects still feel that these structures score low on style and beauty. Creative thinking by both architects and MEP designers can assuredly change that view. Cultural standards of architectural beauty can be altered, moulded and steered in new directions by the adoption of sustainable building practices.

Globally, there are several examples of attractive green buildings that function as residences, offices and public spaces, such as:

– Chicago’s City Hall. It has a green roof, literally. Twenty thousand plants of 15 species reside there, and it even has two trees.

– Bangkok reportedly has more than one green roof, with one hosting a model farm created using traditional Thai farming techniques.

Such green roofs are useful to manage storm water. The vegetation and soil on the roof retain water and behave as insulation, reducing the costs of heating and cooling. Green roofs add to the ‘green lungs’ of an urban space, reducing air pollution, and who doesn’t think a roof garden is beautiful?

Living walls or vertical gardens have much the same aesthetic effect – one that soothes and delights.

– Singapore’s Tree House is reputedly the world’s largest vertical garden. Measuring 24,638 square feet, the artful green wall is projected to save more than 500,000 dollars in energy and water costs.

– Sydney’s One Central Park residential building has a vertical garden with 25 plant species.

– Trees and plants grace every balcony of Bosco Verticale in Milan, with water from sinks, showers and washing machines used as part of a greywater system to irrigate the vertical gardens. The building also features rooftop solar panels, hidden from pedestrian eye levels.

– Ten thousand plants live on a 350 square metre wall segment of The Rubens at the Palace Hotel, London, to benefit both man and birds. Pretty buttercups, crocuses and even strawberries make an appearance.

Green walls are naturally engaging but present technical challenges. As an additional layer over an existing wall, a green wall requires expensive equipment and seasoned experts to water and maintain it. Though initially expensive to install, green walls and roofs contribute to an overall reduction in energy and storm water management expenses. Green roofs reduce the energy required for cooling the floor below it by more than 50% – so pretty buildings can be energy efficient too. How is it technically possible? One of the most effective methods involve Building Information Modelling (BIM).

The Role of BIM

Intelligent BIM modelling processes and coordination, along with clash detection, enables the timely delivery of accurate construction drawings. The role of BIM technology in helping to develop sustainable and energy-efficient buildings is significant, as it helps create detailed energy-saving and energy-generating, clash-free MEP systems design. The precise design details required for ecological MEP systems need careful measurement and planning. How a building’s materials will react to wind, sun, water and gravity must be accurately analysed. BIM software, such as Revit BIM, helps architects and engineers from 3D modelling companies design the shape, structure, MEP systems, cost and materials in real-time. BIM technology helps all stakeholders in a project quickly comprehend how changes in design can affect energy efficiency and water management, producing seamless, clash-free MEP coordination drawings. Using BIM modelling, architects and engineers can access high-tech, high-precision tools to analyse and coordinate heating, cooling, ventilation and energy efficiency in MEP engineering designs.

For designers, architects and the common man, the aesthetic appeal and the functionality of a structure are equally relevant. People like beautiful buildings that are strong, comfortable and energy efficient. In these times of rapid climate change, it can be challenging to create attractive yet ecologically sustainable construction. With the help of BIM modelling and smart MEP engineering designs in collaboration with the creativity of designers, these challenges can surely be overcome.

WSP Uses Advanced 3D Modeling to Optimize the Design of London’s Newest Iconic Skyscraper

Bentley’s RAM Software Provides Innovative Structural Solutions for Unique Geometry of One Blackfriars Tower

Prime Location, Multiple Challenges

Considered one of Europe’s most iconic building projects, One Blackfriars London is a mixed-use development that features a 50-story residential tower as its centerpiece, an adjoining three-story podium housing a gym and retail facilities, and a boutique hotel with 161 rooms, all built over a three-story basement with a swimming pool, spa, and parking facilities. Developed by St. George and designed by Simpson Haugh Architects, the project is situated on the south side of Blackfriars Bridge overlooking the River Thames, offering spectacular views of St. Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge, and Westminster’s Big Ben, and the houses of Parliament. WSP was appointed to provide structural modeling and engineering services.

The project site varied in depth and had remaining elements of a previously demolished building, which could not be removed without collapsing the surrounding infrastructure. Performing a 3D laser site survey enabled the team to understand the site challenges and design the new three-story basement down to 13 meters, fitting around the site’s constraints.

WSP also faced challenges designing temporary on-site client facilities, including developing structural solutions for the complex geometry of the 170-meter landmark building. MicroStation, RAM Concept, and RAM Structural System provided WSP an integrated BIM solution to streamline workflows and push the limits of structural design to create an elegant silhouette on London’s skyline.

3D Design Coordination Saves Time and Space

Given that St. George desired a strong, on-site marketing and sales presence, WSP designed a temporary three-story, steel-framed facility fitted with replica apartments to serve as the marketing suite. To support it at ground level, the team partially modeled the ground floor slab and supported the slab on plunge columns so that the three levels of the basement could be constructed around and underneath the marketing suite while in use. This piling configuration enabled temporary and permanent works to be combined and facilitated a top-down construction sequence. The interoperability of Bentley technology allowed WSP to share the 3D design models with the construction contractor for generating logistics plans and sequencing work packages. As the works reached the ground floor, the marketing suite was removed and the tower construction commenced.

To complicate matters, the rooftop structure of the tower housed the main building maintenance unit (BMU), which contained a shaft extending down into the multi-level penthouse floors. WSP worked with its in-house façade access consultants, sharing 3D MicroStation models to determine how to prevent the BMU from intruding on the penthouse space. Using the WSP model, contractors could fully understand the space and reduce the size of the BMU to a more compact unit.

In addition to coordinating with the contractors, WSP opted for a collaborative design process to analyze numerous options and determine innovative solutions to ensure structural integrity of the asymmetrically shaped tower. The design team used the architect’s 3D model in MicroStation and developed a framing skeleton for the model. Floor plate layouts were then extracted and seamlessly imported into RAM Concept, where multiple design iterations were analyzed and automated drawing productions generated for client and design team coordination. This process streamlined workflow and optimized optioneering, enabling various alternatives to be analyzed in half the time.

Post-tensioned Design Adds Value

The geometry of the tower consists of a narrow base extending upward to a bulge, where the private viewing lounge offers panoramic views of London, and then slopes back in and continues rising upward. A multi-level penthouse accommodates the top five floors of the 50-story building. The tower includes 274 luxury apartments, all varying in layout with floor plates of different shapes and sizes and no repetition throughout the building. Not only did WSP need a structural solution for the varied floor plans, but it also needed to design support columns that offered unobstructed views without intruding on the apartment spaces.

Based on the MicroStation architectural model and using RAM Concept, WSP determined that the optimal structural solution was a combination of fitting reinforced concrete blade columns between the party walls and circular feature columns. With all the various sized apartments, the team needed to determine the location for the columns that best suited the individual layouts while still ensuring structural integrity. Bentley’s interoperable technology optimized the column configuration and automatically generated arrangement drawings that were shared with the contractor for construction.

Finally, with RAM Concept, WSP designed the apartment floor slabs as thin as possible. The team modeled and designed 225-millimeter thick, post-tensioned concrete floor slabs, which proved to be the most cost-effective solution based on minimum structural zone. It reduced the self-weight of the floors, which proved the most cost-effective solution based on minimum structural zone. It reduced the self-weight of the floors, which allowed for maximum slab spans and floor-to-ceiling heights to increase apartment value. The post-tensioned slab design saved 10 percent in overall concrete volume for the floors alone, equivalent to five additional floor plates.

Interoperability Ensures Stability

Using RAM Concept, WSP conducted finite element modeling to analyze the entire building, testing stability against wind and numerous forces. The team applied the software’s meshing algorithm to accurately predict the floor slab concrete behavior and integrated it with other software, designing the stability system and producing an overall building model.

A glittering pinnacle of One Blackfriars Tower is the multi-level penthouse. Tasked with finding a structural framing solution for the most expensive part of the building, the design team used RAM software to develop structural support for the glass rooftop. With Bentley’s structural design and analysis software, WSP introduced a transfer slab to support the entire dead weight of the roof cap and restrained it with horizontal and vertical restraints.

The team conducted a detailed deflection cap analysis that included testing the structural robustness of the main BMU on various transfer slabs. The interoperability of Bentley software optimized analysis, ensuring structural stability of the unique building geometry and achieving an iconic design.

RAM Optimizes Structural Solutions

Consistent with the elegant design of the tower, the architects were keen to have feature columns at the base of the building. The columns were narrow at the base and extended upward 10 meters in height, which forced the team to adopt high-strength concrete to ensure optimal axial stiffness and strength. However, the client also wanted a two-level mezzanine above the lobby without any of the columns interfering with the open lobby space. Using RAM Structural System, WSP designed a steel framework and hung the entire framing system from the first residential floor slab. With RAM Concept, the design team could enhance the thickness of the first level slab to support the frame loads.

WSP faced additional challenges of ensuring structural support for the post-tensioned floor slabs for the different apartment layouts. After conducting numerous design iterations, the team adopted a combined solution of walking columns, raking columns, and split reverse-Y columns. As the raking columns also generated horizontal forces, WSP use the floor plates to tie the column horizontal forces to the building.

Further up the tower structure are two smaller BMUs that required a variation in column design to avoid clashes as the columns rose from the floors below. RAM Concept enabled the team to determine an optimal solution, using reverse-Y transfer columns to allow space for the BMUs but still support the floors.

Finally, as with any high-rise building, lateral stability is a crucial issue. And with residential buildings like One Blackfriars Tower, the building cores tend to be smaller compared to commercial buildings. To ensure lateral stability, WSP designed a staggered outrigger system that extended out and attached to the columns. This solution also provided the construction team complete access to each floor.

Pushing the Limits of Structural Design

Bentley’s RAM software saved considerable time throughout all stages of the project. The technology allowed multiple iterations and design changes to be explored and adopted from the initial design proposal stage through construction, while ensuring compliance with European design codes. Within a short period of time, WSP achieved an efficient, cost-effective structural solution incorporating longer, thinner slabs and fewer columns. RAM enabled the design team to push structural design to the limit, providing innovative solutions for each bespoke room and floor.

Using Bentley’s integrated 3D modeling applications enabled WSP to design and deliver an iconic landmark for London and reinforces the notion that with the right capabilities, anything is possible and there is no limit as to what can be achieved. One Blackfriars will inspire the next generation of designers to think outside the box and promote London as the capital for world-class architecture and engineering.

According to Aret Garip, technical director, structural project manager and design lead, WSP UK, “Bentley’s RAM Concept and MicroStation software packages enabled WSP to design and deliver one of the most iconic projects in Europe. The software was very effective to coordinate and design cost-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions for the benefit of the client and the local community. The project stands proud as a centerpiece for architectural and engineering excellence.”

Arup uses Dynamo to advance the pace of collaboration on the proposed National Football Stadium in Sydney

The structural engineers at Arup in Australia take on some of the country’s most challenging projects. So it’s no surprise that they paired with the architects at Populous to design the structure for the proposed, 60,000‑seat National Football Stadium in Sydney. That’s because the architects’ initial designs featured curving organic forms and plans for Australia’s first cable net roof for a major stadium. The Arup team was tasked with bringing innovative and cost-effective structural ideas to the project’s concept phase—and they had just 12 weeks to collaborate with the architects and deliver.

The Arup team realized that they needed a way to both quickly explore the best structural options for the project and to increase documentation efficiency. A computational design tool was the ideal solution. They chose to work with Autodesk Revit software, their core documentation application, and Dynamo software. Autodesk Revit with Dynamo powered the project forward, letting the team advance the concept twice as quickly as compared to traditional methods. And now it’s transforming the way that Arup delivers other projects.

“We used Dynamo to rationalize and apply a logic to a complex structure. The powerful part of Dynamo is how it let us develop and improve on concepts quickly. Because of the pace it brought to our workflow, we did 12 iterations instead of 3 or 4.” — XAVIER NUTTALL Structural Engineer, Arup

12 concepts in 12 weeks

With only 12 weeks for the documentation of the concept design, Arup needed to get started right away with Dynamo—there was no time for a steep learning curve. The documentation lead on the project had little scripting experience in Dynamo, but she was able to quickly create master scripts thanks to the intuitive nature of the process. These scripts let the engineers explore and document multiple structural options that suited the ever-evolving architectural forms. The scripts automated much of the tedious work behind efficiently modeling and documenting the geometrically complex stadium. During the early stages of concept design, Dynamo let the Arup and Populous teams quickly and efficiently collaborate, resulting in an iconic, well-coordinated, and optimized stadium design. This was particularly advantageous in helping to de-risk the complexity of the design while also informing costing and feasibility.

Interoperability between Dynamo software, Revit software, and Arup’s preferred structural analysis tool helped the team to rapidly create design iterations. They shared their ideas with the architects and collaborated in a 3D Revit environment to enhance the overall design. In all, the team developed 12 concepts, each of which advanced and improved on the preceding one. Absent Dynamo, the team estimates that they would have only had time to develop and document 4 structural concepts. Dynamo automated many of the tedious tasks in the documentation process, saving more than 5 weeks on documentation, which allowed the team to devote more effort than expected to coordinating and optimizing their designs.

More design, fewer boring tasks

Success on the stadium project inspired Arup to apply the conceptual design and automation ability of Dynamo to more projects. The firm began teaching its documentation specialists throughout Australia how to create their own scripts. Arup also started a script library to share timesaving scripts, allowing the Arup documentation team to spend less time on tedious tasks, and more time on design optimization for their everyday projects.

“Tedious documentation tasks that would have taken 4 hours only took 10 minutes using Dynamo. The savings we realized gave us more time to finesse better design solutions.”

— SHAWNEE FINLAYSON, Structural Technician, Arup

SGP’s ability to link 3D models with a virtual reality suite is very exciting, allowing us to show a client the design rather than having them interpret plans and diagrams. Richer information sets also provide real value for clients in the post hand-over phase, supporting operating and maintenance functions and helping manage the life cycle of the new asset more efficiently.” James Blood, BIM Manager, Stephen George + Partners LLP.

James previously acted as a consultant to major UK construction product manufacturers to assist them in the structuring and delivery of their product data around ISO openBIM standards, for delivery into the project workflow. As a result of these activities, James worked closely with Northumbria University, the Technical coordinator of BuildingSMART UK and the NBS to help develop the Xbim toolkit, more specifically the Revit add-in. This led to him being invited to work as part of the B/555 committee, where he helped write the BS 8541 suite of standards.

“We are delighted to have promoted James to this key role. His knowledge and experience will be vital to keeping SGP at the forefront of BIM best practice. James will be working closely with our clients, developing and implementing BIM methodology across all our sectors.” Marcus Madden-Smith, Partner, Stephen George + Partners LLP.

COVID-19 and the reinvention of the construction industry

21 Oct 2020

COVID-19 and the reinvention of the construction industry Report News

London, United Kingdom (October 2020) – Asite has launched a new research report examining how the construction industry can adapt to survive and thrive in the face of COVID-19.

The report entitled ‘COVID-19 and the reinvention of the construction industry,’ examines, with little prospect of a return to a pre-COVID normality, how industries such as construction must adapt to survive and thrive.

Nathan Doughty, Asite CEO, said:

“Reinventing construction after COVID-19 is necessary to ensure that the industry not only survives, but thrives.

We have many solutions and technologies around us that are already being used to advance the industry into the future but we must work collaboratively and apply them together with meaningful intent to create the largest impact. Taking an ecosystem view of the industry will see communities and economies continue to build a resilient, vibrant society we can all be proud of.

Nathan Doughty, Asite CEO:

I believe our built environment needs an open platform to capture the golden thread of structured and open data we all need. The team at Asite intends to keep working hard to help make this a reality!”

The report delves into the recommendations from the UK’s Construction Leadership Council, who have played a key role in coordinating the industry’s initial response to the pandemic, which has now urged a three-step program of restart, reset, reinvent.

This three-step program, to be delivered over the next two years, is part of the CLC’s Roadmap to Recovery, a strategy to drive the recovery of the construction and built environment sectors following the pandemic and resulting economic downturn.

Restart

In in its restart recommendations, the CLC talked about a rapid resumption of all projects and programs, maximizing employment of all those working in the construction industry and supply chain, and minimizing disruption due to contractual disputes.

This step of the program is scheduled to take place within zero to three months of the overall strategy.

Despite the high numbers of individuals working from home, Asite has witnessed first-hand how projects can be resumed – and even accelerated – through the adoption of digital ways of working such as video conferencing, highlighting the importance of online collaboration platforms.

Reset

As part of its reset strategy, the CLC says wider adoption of digital technologies across clients and throughout the supply chain will enable better data and information sharing across the built environment to improve efficiency, productivity, sustainability and building safety.

This section of the overall strategy is set to take place during the three to 12-month period of the program.

This reset includes ongoing programs such as Transforming Construction and the Construction Innovation Hub which are championing continued investment in building information modelling (BIM), design for manufacture and assembly (DfMA), digital twins, smart cities, and other process innovations.

Reinvent

If the CLC recommendations are carried through, from mid-2021, government and construction should be focused on applying such digital approaches to deliver better value, collaboration and partnership. These areas are not new additions to the mix in light of COVID-19.

They reflect the UK Government’s continued commitment to its Construction 2025 goals, which include lowering project delivery costs, delivering projects quicker, with lower carbon emissions, and making UK plc more competitive, which were first set in 2013.

This is the final section of the program, scheduled to take place during the 12th and 24th month.

Reinventing construction after COVID-19

A return to old ways of working, or a slightly altered ‘new normal’ will not achieve the advancement the industry requires. Low productivity, low profitability, and low resilience have been caused by fragmented conditions which have been characterized by low margin, lowest-price procurement approaches, onerous and often-adversarial contracts, maximum passing of risk and low investment in digital working and collaboration.

Asite believes adopting a more progressive approach which uses the current crisis as a catalyst for change could deliver a very different industry sector, one which is more capable, professional, productive and profitable; delivering better value to clients, better performing infrastructure and buildings, and competes successfully in global markets.
