Approach My approach has become one that is drawn from an understanding of site and context and looks to the Genius Loci for inspiration. For me, understanding comes from an involved method of sketching, drawing and photography. This helps to build identities for new landscapes that are adaptable to each situation and are strongly rooted in a sense of place.

C Project name: NTUPI Location: Nanjing, China Design by: UCI Dates Employed at UCI: 2014-2015 Size: 50 hectares Project status: Under construction

Design work for the Nanjing Technological University Pujiang Institute began in June 2014. The site was redesigned to house a University campus with 30 new buildings and extensive landscape. Phase 1 of the University will open to students in September 2016. The concept ‘Nature, Culture and the Journey’, takes inspiration from the field layout of the site and from natural forms, and includes a more spiritual element in the form of a ‘Journey.’ ‘Culture’ establishes the structure and spatial dynamics of the site through use of a field-like pattern. ‘Nature’ gives vibrance, life and detail, and the ‘Journey’ weaves a path through it all; a metaphor for life and study. This complex and deep concept came from an understanding of the client’s mindset, and was recieved well.

As a year out Landscape Architect, I was privileged to be given lots of responsiblilty in the design of the landscape. Over the course of the year, my tasks included: -concept design -masterplanning -design development -site levels -landscape element detailing -design of drainage elements including a lake -detailed planting design -presentation of ongoing work to the client team -helping the Architects with deadlines I worked closely with Architects and Landscape Architects in Singapore and China, to tight time restraints.

Project name: Govan Graving Docks Location: Glasgow, Scotland Design by: Adrian Scott Dates of project: 2016 Project status: Masters special project Govan

Govan docks

Riv er C l

yde

FLUX became the title of the project, as it encapsulated the past, present and future of the docks. Flux describes the life and fate of the docks, once a hub of activity during the busy shipbuilding days; now they lie derelict and silent, and futures eyes look at the docks as they thrive once again. Flux is about a Landscape FOR change; a new public park that will serve the needs and interests of the local community in Govan, dealing with issues such as affordable housing, employment and skills training, as well as providing a new public park next to the River Clyde. It also seeks to be a Landscape OF change: with planting that contrasts with the hard dock structure and shows seasonal flux; with a tidal zone that emphasises the slow oscillation of the Clyde and brings new animal life to the docks; and with a material pallete that re-purposes the old into the new. This new riverside park will be the change that Govan needs and the City of Glasgow wants.

Planting Planting design is inspired by the West and Northern Coasts of Scotland and seeks to evoke the wild character of the many calcareous grasslands found there. The planting will bring to attention, seasonal and daily changes in the weather.

Tree and ornamental grass specification Pinus sylvestris // 175/200cm / C70 / 12-15ft Miscanthus sin. ‘Morning Light’: // C10 / 24”-36” An understanding of existing patterns of use in the docks led to the concept of formalised fire pits which have become a key repeated form in the new landscape.

Soil specification To create calcareous grasslands, specific alkaline soils are needed. Pine trees however, prefer a more acidic soil. All topsoils to be managed in accordance with BS 3882:2015. GRASSLAND SOIL Depth: 200mm Type: Sandy loam with 60% sand, of which 50% is to be course sand. Soil is to be mixed with existing demolition rubble at different quantities until it achieves the required pH values. Demolition rubble should be graded to <30mm.

Pinus sylvestris and Miscanthus sinensis have been used as main structural elements with the rest of the planted areas becoming seeded grassland. All plants here are hand-drawn.

Using the principles of Socially Restorative Urbanism, [K.Thwaites, A. Mathers and I.Simkiss] Granary Wharf, Leeds, was redesigned in a group project. Socially Restorative Urbanism seeks to promote urban design that is ‘human-orientated’, unlike many modern developments. The approach in Granary Wharf was about breaking down the dominance of the buildings and creating a more humanscale experience that would facilitate the social restoration of the Wharf. Interaction and practicality counteract exclusivity and separation.

onstruction detail The center of the site consists of a circular seating area with a central water feature. Here, Autocad and SketchUp were used to show the detail of the seating.

The retaining edge is composed of chunks of concrete from the demolition of the Castlemarket. These will be mortared together with 10mm of mortar and placed close together to prevent soil washing out from behind.

Rough overlapping chuncks of concrete form the retaining edge.

Project name: Western Bank Library Steps Location: Sheffield Date: 2013 Design by: Adrian Scott Project status: 3rd Year Project Design of the library steps took inpiration from one of Sheffield’s rivers, the Porter Brook. The particular way that eddies formed and leaves collected was translated into a masterplan. People are collected in eddy-like seating spaces, and movement down through the space is gradual and flowing.

H Project name: Art and Landscape Location: Crookes Valley Park, Sheffield Date: 2015 Design by: Adrian Scott Project status: Masters Project An entirely hand rendered project that sought to understand the relationship between art and landscape, and how the two influence each other. I found that, when approached as art, my preconceptions of what landscape should be were challenged. The project became more focused conceptually. This was refreshing, as it freed the design process from the constraints of norm.

and drawn Crookes Valley Park was originally part of a network of reservoirs in the Crookes valley and is the only remaining pond of that network. The Old great dam built in 1785 was turned into Crookes Valley Park in the 1900’s. For many years it was used for boating until it was deemed too dangerous and today is only used for fishing. A real sense of nostaligia eminates from the park.

The idea

Currently in Crookes Valley Park people have a predominantly twodimensional and removed experience of the pond: a flat surface, broken only by the occassional duck or fisherman’s throw. However the largest space in the park is the pond itself which is said to be up to 10mts deep in the center.

Douglas firs will be planted along 3 sides of the pond to create a darker atmosphere for the light display, as well as framing the pond. The planting will also help in creating a new character to the park which fits with the concept. Two ten meter white acrylic tubes will be lit up and placed 9-10 meters below water level, giving a dim impression of two forms.

Lumishore LED yacht light. -240watt -23,000 lumens -24 volts standard input. 100degree beam angle. -Attached to an underwater electric motor set to swing 50 degrees plus/minus of thier set position. This will give the impression of searchlights under the surface of the pond. -This assembly will be welded to a steel pole and concreted into the pond bed. Three rings of searchlights will be placed at 1m depth, 4m and 7m, becoming dimmer with depth.

Management

Planting depth to be 0.5m for the Schoenoplectus and 0.75m for the Saggittaria.

The pondside planting was designed to enhance the concept by using just three species that would descend into the pond, emphasising a central focus and convenying depth. A huge increase in habitat for pond life will benefit wildlife as well as user interest.

10m depth

Traditionally planked 15.1ft (or 4.6m) rowing boats will be used, supplied by Oughtred boats.

To maximise the experience of the light displays, only one boat will be allowed onto the pond during show times. These will take place after sun down. The lights will respond to the position of the boat in the pond with lights nearest the edge going out when the boat moves toward the middle. This adds an element of insecurity, which is part of the reaction to depth. Participants will be asked to spend no more than 15 mins on the water. During the day the pond will be used for regular boating and fishing with multiple boats on the pond at any one time.
