The Idea is the movement towards communication between all ages and interests and is represented in 2 ramps, passing through the site, connecting the surrounding neighbours. This is a place where people can spend their leisure time, organise concerts, relax in a cafe, learn how to cook or just have a walk.
FIRE SAFETY STRATEGY
Developing a fire safety strategy for the buildings and the site is key for such a public space. Below shows diagrams of how fire safety has been considered within the Training Centre and the Retail Units with consideration of travel distance to an escape, the use of fire stairs and the creation of assembly points around site
The Market fire safety strategy includes enclosed fire stairs and escape on the north facade, three main entrances which can be used as fire escape and a main stair which is appropriate for travel during a fire. Assembly points around site have been labelled with their access from the building also shown.
The retail units are all on one level therefore there are no fire stairs needed for escape. The escape distance is safe. Escape routes are labelled on the site along with potential assembly points around the site.
