The Build LONDON Live master plan, and the context in which it is set, are described here at . Each participating team will be allocated a unique plot on which to create designs & BIMs in accordance with the design brief. Teams will assume that all the infrastructure necessary to support the buildings being designed are in place. The design brief is for a completely hypothetical mixed use development. Each team has been allocated a site in the master plan. All sites are approximately the same size (23,000m2 or 2.3 hectare) and have a similar aspect and advantage. The brief is to create designs in the form of BIMs for the following;
This is the announcement of the final design brief details, which have been withheld until twelve hours prior to the start of the competition.
The details are as below. Your design for your plot must comply with the following:
1. 250 room hotel (at least 100 underground car parking spaces)
2. No less than 50,000m2 office (at least 200 underground car parking spaces
3. 200 dwellings; 80 x 3 bed apartments, 80 x 2 bed apartments, 40 x 1 bed apartment (1 parking space per dwelling)
4. 2000 M2 OF RETAIL SPACE is to be incorporated into your design
5. Teams should note there is a HEIGHT RESTRICTION OF 20 STOREYS
All teams must submit their information via the Asite Workspace. This submission must include:
