DESCRIPTION
University of Lincoln 3rd year project to design an observatory.
Citation preview
James Michael BrownYear 3 - Comprehensive Design Project
University of Lincoln - 2014
Observing the Fenlands
Response Studio is a platform for an intellectual approach to the pursuit of architectural ideals through cultural and technological investigation and innovation. The aim of the studio is to produce design proposals that are culturally rich, aesthetically pleasing and socially equitable. The idea rests upon the understanding of a building as a system of interrelated and interacting elements within its context, performing usefully throughout its lifetime, responding and adapting to future changes.
The aim of this year’s studio is to develop a study of the Lincolnshire Fens and the Wash, with the principle objective of “observing, learning, monitoring and recording.”
Rural StudyA study was undertaken to explore and analyse the Lincolnshire Fens and the Wash, resulting in a graphical and physical presentation where the research and findings were collated. The study documented the region, the landscape, the local vernacular, and the typology as well as the social, climatic and economic issues affecting the area.
Small Project: Bird Hide + Obseravtion Points SchemeOnce the rural study was established a chosen program was developed on a site of interest identified during the research and analysis period. More specific research about the chosen program and site was undertaken in order to develop a design proposal that responds to the rural context in which it sits while considering appropriate locations and strategies.
Major Building: RAF Holbeach Visitor CentreWith the design philosophy and understanding of the local context developed through the rural study and small project, a brief was developed which identified the most appropriate design strategies and solutions to apply all aspects of the design from inception to completion. A holistic approach to design was encouraged, by addressing rural, cultural, social, economic, environmental, contextual, spatial qualities, materials and technological issues.
Rural Study
I began the rural study by looking at the Lincolnshire Fens as a whole and mapping out the area. This allowed me to look at a number of factors to help narrow down the search for the observatory site. It also helped me to identify a subject for viewing from the observatory. From the study I identified three potential locations to investigate in greater detail.
The study highlighted the flat nature of the land with very few areas of higher land. There are two main towns in the area, Spalding and Boston which are linked by good roads and rail, and are located on the higher land. From The Wash a number of rivers run into the fens. The River Witham runs through Boston and provides access to Boston’s port. The River Welland runs through Spalding and the River Nene runs through the nearby Cambridgshire town or Wisbech. The study also highlighted the amount of water in the area with every field surrounded by drains due to the low lying land, the majority of which is below five metres. I also picked out points of interest such as the derelict windmills which were once used to drain the land, the nature reserves and the airfields in the area.

The first area I looked at in more detail was around the village of Gedney Drove End. The area was of interest to me due to the nearby active RAF Holbeach bombing range. The marsh the bombing range is situated on is also the home to a number of birds and different wildlife. All of which provided excellent subjects for an observatory. This was eventually the area I chose for the site of the observatory.

The second area was around the town of Long Sutton. The area contained a number of derelict windmills and a Wildlife Trust nature reserve. On further inspection I also discovered a butterfly park and interesting case studies by a local architect. SEArch architects are responsible for a number of sustainble developments in the area along with a solar park which provides energy for the town.

The final area was near to the village of Cowbit. Cowbit wash and the areas along the River Welland are target areas for habitat restoration and so provided potential for a development to encourage wildlife back to the area and return some of the farmland to the fenland of the past.

Site Analysisp9
Having settled on the area for the site and the subject of the observatory I needed to chose where the observatory and small projects would go.
I visited the area and chose a site with good links to the main roads. The site is positioned on the marsh with views towards the bombing range and out over the marsh.

The Local Vernacular architecture for the area is, in general made up of brick structures. In the case of farm buildings these often have later extensions constructed from corrugated steel. The roofs are are in general slate or pantiles.

p12Observatory + Brid Hide Scheme
The Observatory is positioned at the northern most point of the proposed development, and is desgined for viewing the aircraft and the bombing range.
Along the sea defences are a number of proposed bird hides and observation points for looking out over the marsh and farmland at the local wildlife.

Bird Hide +Observation PointSite E Proposal
Site E is one of the proposed observation points. It marks the midpoint of the proposed development, and as such is slightly larger than the others. It consists of two observation rooms looking in opposite directions, one out towards the sea and one over the farmland. The structure is off-grid with power coming from photovoltaic panels positioned on the roof. The water needed for the wc is provided through rain water collection.

Observatory Briefp19
ObservatoryCurrently there are a number of people who visit the nearby area to view the aircraft as they use the bombing range. However there is currently nowhere that offers protection from the elements and so viewers stay in their cars meaning they have restricted views of the aircraft with the range not being visible at all.
The observatory consists of a museum detailing the history of the bombing range and the bombs used on it. There is a cafe catering to the buildings visitors but also anyone using the public footpath along the sea bank. It also contains a number of different viewing areas to cater for differing visitors.
• rainwater harvesting from rooftops and lanscaping for use as grey water
• natural ventilation
• solar shading
• solar panels
• heat recovery system
• concentrated solar still to provide fresh water
• thin film photovoltaic cells
• wind turbines
• photovoltaic panels
water cooling + heating power
p20Off Grid
From the early stages of the project I wanted the observatory to be off grid. Due to there being few structures nearby attaching the building to the mains could be difficult. The site offers unobstructed lines of site to harness sunlight and with it being on the coast offers wind all year round. The sea water on the marsh also had the potential to be used for fresh water if treated.
Quality of Spacep21
The museum is designed to be a relatively dark environment so as to not glamourise the bomb on display. Sky lights offer lighting for the displays which will hang from the ceiling. The large window at the end will provide views of the bombing range with the smaller windows offering glimpses of the aircraft as they approach.

The cafe is positioned on the south west corner of the building level with the sea wall. This is to take advantage of any walkers that are using the public footpath.
The Upper Ground floor also contains the majority of the observatories services to protect them from water damage if the building floods.
