ART431 Sustainable Design Practice Episode 2 & 3 Authors: Mike Alexander (MA) Lama Alzughaibi (LA) Harini Nana Amaran (HA) Elahe Gholami (EG) The authors of this report would like to thank the following for endless help in undertaking this project: Maggie Knight and all at Penarth Arts & Crafts Ltd. – for allowing us into the project and providing more than enough information along the way. Purcell Miller Tritton – for providing detailed drawings of the existing project proposals. Gwyrddio Penarth Greening – for providing support and a target audience for a project that aims to provide for a community that wants to move forward and become sustainable. Finally, Julie Gwiliam and Sarah McCormack – for continued support and motivation throughout the course of the project. Acknowledgements Preface Penarth Pavilion is a historic building on the seafront of a small town, just outside Cardiff, South Wales. As an 80+ year old building, it is soon to undergo a multi-million pound renovation in a scheme lead by Penarth Arts & Crafts Ltd. and designed by Bristol based architects Purcell Miller Tritton. At present, the project has finally achieved full planning permission to proceed and the detailed design of the building is underway. In February 2011, four Cardiff University Students entered the project with the aim of injecting the principles of sustainable design into the scheme. Seeing that the Pavilion and the Esplanade go hand-in-hand, this report looks into the sustainability of both. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS PREFACE 1. Introduction 2. Background Research 1. Eco-Tourism 2.

Appendices Contents http://www.panoramio.com/photo/36155877 Section 1 Introduction Section 1: Introduction Summary Penarth Pavilion is a historical icon and a major feature of the Pier and Esplanade. Over the years it has gone through many changes and it is currently going through yet another change to hopefully revive the building and serve the community once again. In this report, the sustainable options for the current proposal of the building are explored. By making the building more sustainable, it can serve as an example for the rest of Penarth and mark the beginning of a more sustainable future for the "Garden by the Sea". Each of these sections has reviewed and suggested a range of scenarios and possibilities to actively improve the social, economic and environmental sustainability of Penarth Pavilion and the wider Esplanade upon completion of the imminent renovation. This has been supplemented by recommendations as to how some of these scenarios could potentially be integrated. While the renovation of Penarth Pavilion will be an exciting and no doubt a successful venture, the potential to achieve further success depends on how the Pavilion links with the Esplanade which has, in recent years, lost its identity. What was once a thriving Victorian seafront is now a mix of high class restaurants, apartments and buildings in various stages of deterioration. It can be argued that, for the Pavilion to reach its full potential, the Esplanade on which it stands must join in the renewal process to become an interlinked attraction. Upon analysis of an ambiguous Sustainable Options Report supplementary to planning documents, this report provides further analysis of sustainability in relation to this project under 3 main sections: Socio-Economic Sustainability – How can the Pavilion become a self-sufficient building which is the hub of the local community of Penarth? Environmental Sustainability – How can the options suggested by the architect"s be further explored and integrated into the proposed scheme? Esplanade – How can the Esplanade, on which the Pavilion stands, use this renovation project as a kick- start to returning the area to a vibrant and engaging part of a town steeped inWelsh history. One of the features of all of the successful piers and pavilions discussed later in Section 3, was that none of them were single entities – they were all the iconic features of a wider seafront which embraced them. This report will focus on how the Esplanade can use the Pavilion as a kick-start in the process of regenerating the whole area for Penarth to be proud of once again. Section 1 Introduction – Public Event (9/4/2011) During the public event held by the students of the MSc Theory and Practice of Sustainable Design course for the various projects proposed in Penarth, members of the community were given an opportunity to express their thoughts, ideas and opinions on the projects. Although attendance of the event was too low to get a wide, representative view of the community"s opinions, it was useful in getting an idea of how they view sustainability and their commitment to endorsing it in Penarth. In terms of the Pavilion/Esplanade Project, posters were used for each allowing the public to draw, write, scribble their ideas and thoughts. There was a common attitude amongst the attendees towards the project; people were mostly positive and excited about the prospect of regenerating the Pavilion (pamphlets of current plans for renovation were distributed – see Appendix E) and Esplanade. The general notion was found to be disappointment in the lack of attention given to the area from relevant bodies. As mentioned, although attendance was low, there was insight gained to direct the project. The priority for this project is to benefit the community and restore the Esplanade to its historic glory. This is what the report intends to achieve, primarily infusing various concepts with a universal goal: sustainability. The following list sums up the ideas members of the public shared: Informal concert hall for spontaneous performances Art gallery/café Space for gallery and craft stalls Fisherman teaching, traditional skills and crafts Rent roller skates in the summer Pavilion is iconic building (should reflect Penarth"s future) – wind turbine? Somewhere for young and old to meet Accessible to all Food hub Fun Mini interactive space Community centre – run for the community, by the community Art and performance space Community space – multi-purpose flexible use Café, social club, cinema, stores, market, tourist info, events Art venue/gallery, café, performance space/cinema Cinema, café, performance of music and drama, market Free access to encourage public Café (healthy food) and bar Make the most of the interior visually/architecturally Multi-use space, local food/market, community meeting space, children's creative space/activities Art exhibition, coffee shop (view) Posters used in public event: (Left) Esplanade poster double A0. (Right) Pavilion poster A0 Section 1 Introduction Being a Sustainable Options Report, this chapter will begin by briefly exploring the niche market in sustainable development which is Ecotourism. In summary, it was found that ecotourism is aimed at building a tourist market on natural features – something which Penarth has used in abundance, but not as a principle tourist attraction in the past. Ecotourism does however embody many of the values of another term dubbed Sustainable Tourism. Sustainable Tourism looks to provide sustainably focused attractions which look to balance the Sustainable Triangle presented in the Sustainability Assessment Section. By ensuring environmental as well as social and economic sustainability is maintained for the local area, sustainable tourism strategies could potentially become a major part of life as global sustainable development becomes more important. Renovation of the Pavilion as a Grade II listed building, not only has the potential to regenerate and re-use the building itself, but also it would act as a catalyst to regenerate the wider area. In this report, the definition of regeneration and the effect of historic buildings on the wider regeneration area in terms of social, economic and environmental aspects are investigated. The practical measures that could be significant influences to regenerating an area are considered in terms of the Pavilion and Esplanade and the potential overall effect on Penarth. This acts as a stepping stone to guide the rest of the project. From learning about the concept of regeneration and its influencing factors, the approach to regenerating the Esplanade begins to take form. The objective of this report is to explore the process of regeneration in the context of Penarth waterfront. By considering the environmental, social and economic aspects of this process, the aim is to explore how to regenerate the area sustainably. As illustrated in the diagram above, the renovation of the Pavilion cannot be done in isolation. It must be viewed in the wider context of the Esplanade, which goes on to consider the context of Penarth. The Pavilion Project acts as a catalyst for regeneration which can potentially increase the value of the town as a whole - environmentally, socially, economically and culturally. This report aims to address how this project can, above all, benefit the community. The priority is for this to promote Penarths Esplanade and Pavilion for the people. Further down the line, the effects of this regeneration could restore the town"s status as "Garden by the Sea" and give value to one of only six piers inWales. As a historic, listed building, Penarth Pavilion is exempt from the Welsh Assembly Government requirement that all construction projects receiving public funding must achieve a minimum of BREEAM (British Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) "Excellent" certification.

  • Pier Pressure: Best Practice in the Rehabilitation of British Seaside Piers
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Bournemouth University Research Online Pier pressure: Best practice in the rehabilitation of British seaside piers A. Chapman Bournemouth University, Bournemouth, UK ABSTRACT: Victorian seaside piers are icons of British national identity and a fundamental component of seaside resorts. Nevertheless, these important markers of British heritage are under threat: in the early 20th century nearly 100 piers graced the UK coastline, but almost half have now gone. Piers face an uncertain future: 20% of piers are currently deemed ‘at risk’. Seaside piers are vital to coastal communities in terms of resort identity, heritage, employment, community pride, and tourism. Research into the sustainability of these iconic structures is a matter of urgency. This paper examines best practice in pier regeneration projects that are successful and self-sustaining. The paper draws on four case studies of British seaside piers that have recently undergone, or are currently being, regenerated: Weston Super-Mare Grand pier; Hastings pier; Southport pier; and Penarth pier. This study identifies critical success factors in pier regeneration and examines the socio-economic sustainability of seaside piers. 1 INTRODUCTION This paper focuses on British seaside piers. Seaside pleasure piers are an uniquely British phenomena, being developed from the early 19th century onwards as landing jetties for the holidaymakers arriving at the resorts via paddle steamers. As seaside resorts developed, so too did their piers, transforming by the late 19th century into places for middle-class tourists to promenade, and by the 20th century as hubs of popular entertainment: the pleasure pier.
