By Robert Powell, Ain Al Iraq is a Masterplan for a New Town development at Mosul in Nineveh Province, northern Iraq. The 1,114 ha site measuring some 5.8km from north to south and 3km from east to west is located alongside the N1 highway from Baghdad.

The Morgan Stanley Clinical Building, the first part of the Mittal Children's Medical Centre, officially opened on the 14 June 2012. Watch this short film to see the difference that it will make for everyone at Great Ormond Street Hospital in the years to come. It wouldn't have been possible without the help of all of our supporters. On behalf of the thousands of children and families you've helped, and will continue to help in the years to come, thank you.

Our design sets out to demonstrate an ecological approach to tower design. Besides meeting the Client’s program requirements for an exposition tower (i.e. for retail, exhibition spaces, auditorium uses, etc.), the design sets an imperative response to the Site’s Ecology: Ecological design starts with looking at the site’s ecosystem and its properties. Any design that does not take these aspects of the site into consideration is essentially not an ecological approach.

Llewelyn Davies Yeang’s sister company in Kuala Lumpur, T.R Hamzah Yeang, has won a fixed price tender competition held by JTC corporation, to design a new mixed-use research science building. The project, in association with the developer Soilbuild, will be Ken Yeang’s most current super green design in Singapore. Fusionopolis Phase 2B building will be the latest addition to the 200 hectare one-north site in central Singapore, next to its acclaimed science parks and close to... The National University. The one-north site lies within a masterplan designed by Zaha Hadid and provides a versatile range of spaces to be used for media, science, and engineering research. Through the use of a unique landscaped facade, sky-lit atriums, a novel solar shaft and sky courts, the sixteen-storey Fusionopolis Phase 2B building will become a vibrant focal point for the one-north community, whilst also creating energy saving, naturally lit and naturally-ventilated interior spaces.

Llewelyn Davies Yeang is the Architect and Design Team Leader for this £140 million development and is also providing interior design, landscape design and statutory planning services, working in a PFI delivery team led by Bouygues UK. The PFI development brief sets out to centralise and modernise acute services provided by the Mid Essex Hospital NHS Trust, integrating the new facility with retained estate. The new accommodation provides a major A&E unit with 110 assessment b...eds, expanded outpatients department, new imaging facilities and an elective care centre with 5 operating theatres and 3 endoscopy suites. Altogether there are 361 new beds and neonatal places in a 50,000 m2 new build project plus a new decked car park with 457 spaces. The scheme is planned within the context of a longer-term development control plan, rationalising what is currently a confusing external access and circulation system. The clinical planning solution provides a high degree of flexibility, integrating the old with the new to improve operational efficiency with clear separation of internal routes serving clinical, visitor and service / supply functions.

Great Ormond Street Hospital selected Llewelyn Davies Yeang to design and implement the second of its four-phase redevelopment programme, including several major projects: New Clinical Block on the Barrie Wing site Review and update of the Trust’s Development Control Plan Cardiac Wing refurbishment and expansion for new Infill Building Fit-out/refurbishment to accommodate a new MRI unit
... Due to the hospital’s location in the Bloomsbury conservation area within the London Borough of Camden, its position within the consultation areas of two of London’s designated strategic viewing corridors, and rapidly developing policy requirements in terms of delivering sustainable development, town planning consent was early on identified as a major issue in moving the project forward. The firm’s integrated planning, urban design and architecture approach provides the hospital with the comprehensive services required to obtain expeditious approval of the proposed projects, and to move quickly into final design and construction. To this end, our in-house environmental / sustainability team has played an integral part in this project from the start. Together with our engineering sub consultants (WSP), their advice towards the formulation, negotiation, presentation and submission of a comprehensive Energy Strategy and Energy Demand Assessment for the project, as required by the London Plan and supplementary policies, has played a major part in obtaining approval from the Mayor of London for the project, and the subsequent submission of the detailed Planning Application for the project to Camden Council. The environmental / sustainability team has also been responsible for monitoring and tracking progress towards the delivery of sustainable development throughout the design process. To this end, our team members have been involved in the design stage NEAT assessment (i.e. the Health sector equivalent of BREEAM, for which the project achieved an overall ‘Excellent’ rating with a score of 77%), and led the preparation of a Sustainable Design and Construction Statement, submitted in support of the Planning Application in accordance with the requirements of the proposed new London Plan. In summary, the scheme submitted for planning application combines an optimised bioclimatic design approach with carefully engineered solutions for energy efficiency, a site wide distribution system, and a 2.8 Mwe biofuel / natural gas Combined Cooling Heat and Power system to deliver a Carbon Negative Phase 2 scheme, and thus a benchmark for sustainable development by any standard.
