THE CLIENT , SETTING


THE CLIENT THEIR VISION HOW IT WILL BE ACHIEVED
The Partnership are responsible for the development and delivery of the Community Plan, which sets out and outlines a series of strategic targets and priorities for making Tower Hamlets a better borough for its resident, workers and visitors. The Core Strategy, is the primary document created to support the ambitious long-term aspirations set out in the Community Plan for the development and regeneration in the area. The document strategizes and forcasts the boroughs spatial strategy for the next decade (2025). Specifying on how, when and where future developments should occur and be delivered across the borough. The Cultural Center will be amongst the first of these redevelopment schemes taking place over the next decade to reboost and re enrgise the borough.

THE SCENE

PARTNERSHIP

[Fig01]

The Tower Hamlets Partnership is a strategic partnership that operates in the borough of Tower Hamlets. It was established in November 2001 by the police, the Council and local health, fire services (the main public sector organisations), local resident representatives, businesses and voluntary & faith groups. They worked together to ensure that the Partnership functioned as a local body that provided and improved services for the borough local residents, visitors and workers.

A CULTURAL CENTER FOR THE COMMUNITY MADE BY THE COMMUNITY


[Fig02]

The Tower Hamlets Partnership wish to create a new iconic Mixed-Use Cultural center in the heart of the East Eand following the legacy left behind after the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games. The mix use Cultural Center will be the one of the great destinations and places to go in the richly diverse borough of Tower Hamlets . It must attract visitors locally, regionally, nationally and globally. The center will reflect and embody the ethos of the Olympic and Paralympic games. The new center will comprise of a Cinema, Arts Pavilion, Crafts Workshop, Extreme Sports space and a place to eat and unwind. If proven a success the Center will be used as an exemplary template model for councils nationwide to follow in their respective boroughs.

In September 2011 The Towr Hamlets Partnership advertised a regional competition under the banner A cultural Center for the community by the community It was a competition open to all architects and designers whom could design and realise the vision of The Partnerships Cultural Center. The Partnership were adiment not to follow the conventional route of going to a major Architectural practice. They wanted to give this monumental opportunity to create the new icon of the borough to innovative presently unkown practices.Advent Design Associates (ADA) were just that. ADA one the competition having been shortlisted from 200 entries, and were immediately appointed by The Partnership(The Client) as Design Team leader.

CLIENT FUNDERS

THE LONDON CULTURAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME is a cost effective operating model, well placed to support Local Authorities to respond to the rapidly changing political and fiscal environment and inevitable transformation of cultural services that resulted from the unprecedented pressure on public finance. The small core team had limited overheads and by fundraising for relatively small sums of project funding, effectively engaging local authorities and supporting networks of delivery partners, the capacity for delivering sustainable improvement and change was created from within the sector The LCIP has been funded by Capital Ambition and a consortium of partners in three phases. Phase one was funded in January 2008, following a report to the Capital Ambition Programme Board on 26 November 2007 and subsequent support expressed for the programme by over half of Londons Chief Executives. The total value of this phase was over 400,000, with 200,000 from Capital Ambition and the balance of the funding provided by a range of partners, including MLA, Arts Council, and Sport England and from Local Authorities. The programme combined a variety of work strands, designed to raise performance in individual Local Authorities, tackle the weakest areas of performance and raise standards in the cultural sector. LCIP has led London to outperform other regions and is now considered an example of good practice nationally, with many of its programmes and models being replicated by other regions and the LGA Group. Under CPA, Londons cultural services were the poorest performing service block in London and the worst of any other English Region. The LCIP effectively supported Local Authorities to improve their culture block scores and were the most improved region under CPA. Independent evaluation of Culture in the CAA showed that Londons Cultural Services performed considerably better than other regions and LCIP was cited as making a significant contribution. Londons cultural services contributed to more green flags than all other regions and LCIP was cited as a contributing factor to Londons success.

The LONDON CULTURAL IMPROVEMENT GROUP (LCIG) came into existence in 2007, through the joint vision and belief of: The City of Londons 32 Boroughs Arts Coucil England MLA (Museums Libraries Archive) Council English Heritage Sports England London councils Capital Ambition

REGIONAL C U LT U R A L AGENCIES

CORE TEAM

The organisations collaborated together to form the LONDON CULTURAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMME (LCIP), a strategic body that would strive to improve cultural services in London.

LCIP has attracted considerable partnership funding in cash and in kind, outperforming its phase one funding target by over 100%. Almost 100,000 in inward investment from Renaissance funding has been provided directly to Londons Local Authorities to deliver priority improvements in local authority museums. The Cultural Agencies commitment to supporting London Boroughs through LCIP is demonstrated by MLAs prioritisation of the programme following its reorganisation with additional investment from the agencies in the programme. Strong leadership to align a range of partners behind a strategic approach to driving improvement in local authority cultural services leading to additional capacity and investment in the programme. Relatively small grant incentives to local authorities ensured high levels of engagement with the programme and with partner authorities; higher levels of commitment; and that projects were completed on time and did not drift. The project team had credibility with local authorities because members of the core team had extensive experience and knowledge of working within local authorities and were able to build up trust.

Local Authorities were engaged with working up the bid through the establishment of the London Cultural Improvement Group and consultation with sectorled professional organisations such as London CLOA and ALCL at all stages. 01

WHO WE ARE
We are a young design-led practice based in North-West London led by directors Prince Emmanuel Yemoh, Katie Jane Parkes and Samson Ric Taylor. We work closely with our clients, users, specialists and communities to ensure that a strong emphasis on innovative & functional design is threaded throughout the special places we collaboratively create. The Advent Design Associates (ADA) was founded in 2010, during the height of the recession by the three young gifted entrepreneurial designers named above. Together they decided to leave BDP, the award-winning interdisciplinary practice (of architects, designers, engineers and urbanists) they all worked for, and go at it alone, together, with the belief that they had what it took to design and create an Architecture responsive to a rapidly changing world. An Architecture we have never seen before. Though in our infancy as a practice, we posess considerable experience haven worked for a leading international practice, and as such take on all varieties of work ranging from international and regional competitions to large complex commercial projects, working and collaborating with a talented team of consultants and specialists as and when their expertise is needed. We pride ourselves on our ability to listen, learn and respond to the specific needs and requirements of our clients, users, communities and environment through cultural and socially aware bespoke design.

WHERE WE ARE
67 North Circular Road,London Borough of Brent, NW107DS
We started The ADA practice without without any external help/or money so it was essential that we cut our costs where ever and how ever possible. One way in which we made this savings was by using Princes (co-director) basement in North-West London as our first office. It was rent-free meaning we cut costs and made huge savings on what we could have spent for renting a space. It is only a temporary solution until we are in a position to invest in a larger space as the company grows.

PROFESSIONALISM, ARCHITECTS

APPOINTMENT

ADA recommend the use of standard forms of appointment such as RIBAs Standard Conditions for Appointment of Architects (S-CON-07). However large experienced clients such as The Tower Hamlets Partnership have their own bespoke agreements that often cause complications during the project. It is quite ZHHHcommon for agreements to be signed years after the project started. Progressing in design and construction works (Stage K) without a signed appointment is bad practice going against both the ARB Codes of Practice (standard 4.5) and RIBA Code of Professional Conduct (Guidance Note 4.1). The absence of a formal appointment could mean that the client couldchange the terms of the appointment, putting the architect in a very risky position with very few options.. To prevent putting strain on the relationship with the client architects often continue to work without a signed agreement, meaning that the risk of potential disputes is high without exact terms and conditions. Therefore ADA have agreed with the client that they will not work until a formal appointment has been agreed and signed.

Team members have been selected on the basis of their merit and effeciency in their respective fields. The Client is satisfied with the fee and competence of all members of the Project Team.

The Tower Hamlets Partnership is a strategic partnership that operates in the borough of Tower Hamlets to provide improved services for the borough local residents, visitors and workers. The partnership are in charge of selecting the potential site on which the new iconic Culture & Arts Centre is to be designed and built upon. If they do not posses the capability to do so they will often instruct a consultant to carry out the necessary work. The Partnership will select a representative during the building design works, whom will ensure that the project runs smoothly with regards to cost and scheduling. The Towerhamlets Partnership representative must be up to date with all matters in relation to the design project & provide regular feedback to The Partnership.

ARCHITECTS, RELATIONSHIPS

Successful working relationships depend on the roles of parties being clearly established from the outset. (Architects Job Book, p14) Disputes often arise due to misunderstandings of clear and exact roles within the project team. It is quite common for the architect to be in a position of high risk for not consulting the client about decisions being made or work being created. The architect and all other parties within the project team must adhere to the correct channels of conduct and instruction. To avoid these potential issuesarising it is good practice to have the following in place at the projects beginning: Roles and Responsibilities Matrix Decision Making Process Change Control Procedures

CONSIDERATIONS, PRE

/POST CONTRACT

DELAY OF FORMAL CLIENT ARCHITECT AGREEMENT_ It is important to be aware that disputes are likely to happen between parties involved in the design and construction process if exact and clear terms of appointment arent provided. TIME_ It is important that the project isnt started without having completed the design and over optimism of the design teams ability to produce the required tender information will resulte in insufficient and unsatisfactory information for Stage 2 Tenders. CLIENT DECISIONS_ Experienced clients often become complacent and rely soley upon their experience without fully heeding the design teams advice, usually to the detriment of the project. The client introducing late changes into the project can have drastic effects also. PROCUREMENT_ This needs adequate planning so that the design team are familiar with their responsibilities. CONTRACT_ If the procurement route should evolve and change during the project it may become incompatible with the contract, making contract administration of the contract very challenging.

COMPARISON OF PROCUREMENT METHOD

PROCUREMENT ROUTES
The initial procurement method was Design & Build as it offered the possibility of a guaranteed cost, completion date and provided lower risk to the Client, allowing responsibilities and risk to fall on the Contractor. . However, in March (3 months after the project had started) the client selected a traditional procurement route using a two stage tendering method as they were unconvinced the Design & Build approach would achieve their aspirations in getting a higher cost certainty and better control of the quality and design due to the development being in a conservation area in Brick lane, causing significant delays to the project. This change order in procurement route had severe implications on Advent Design Associates(ADA) responsibilities and scope of work, because usually in the traditional procurement approach, the project would have been fully designed before construction.

There is, of course, variation in the fees reported in this survey. The averages reported in the tables and the lines of best fit presented in the charts disguise variations between individual jobs. The charts, right, show the distribution of fees, analysing new build and refurbishment separately for jobs undertaken using the traditional contract types. On each fees chart below, the solid line shows the average fees - the line of best fit. The grey lines show lower and upper quartiles. It is clear that there is a greater variation in fees from the average for refurbishment jobs than for new build jobs. Fees reported using the design & build contract show less variation than traditional contract jobs.

DESIGN & BUILD PROCUREMENT CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIPS /


With design and build, it is likely that in the absence of in-house professional staff, the client will wish to engage outside consultants to advise on the preparation of requirements and to evaluate and select tenders etc. Often one or more of these consultants will switch from being appointed by the client to being appointed by the contractor at the time the contractor is engaged. The main contractual link is between the client and the contractor and if the clients agent or representative has only a limited role. The contractor might also have a contractual link with his own design consultants, and with sub-contractors and suppliers. As the contractor is wholly

The client may need to appoint consultants to advise on his design requirements and costs, if he does not have this expertise available in-house. The contractor is responsible to a greater or lesser extent for design, as well as for carrying out the work and may appoint its own consultants. The arrangement may be for total design and construction, or for design development and production information based on a scheme design supplied by the clients consultants

CASH FUNDING SUMMARY


In each financial year that LCIP ran it attracted funding from Capital Ambition and match funding from partner organisations. In total, the funding provided has been nearly evenly split between Capital Ambition and the cross-organisational match-funding: Capital Ambition has provided 57.82% of the monetary funding to deliver LCIP compared with 42.18% from partner organisations. The total value of monetary funding since LCIP inception is 1,598,200. The graph demonstrates the funding levels, by financial year, broken down into contributing organisations

SUMMARY OF MATCH-FUNDING TO STRANDS

The graph demonstrates the years in which individual strands have been most active and gives an indication of strands that have included higher levels of cross-organisational working. Some of the more recent strands, such as Heritage Change and Access to Funding, have significantly lower levels of partner contribution as they were only active from quarter 2 onwards of 2010/11. Project management is particularly high as three members of the LCIP team are line-managed by MLA Council staff and all external partners regularly attend partner meetings and LCIP board meetings.
