Thesis Project: Intergenerational Connections Recent studies have shown an increase in mental health issues in young people living alone whilst, in the elderly, the rate of loneliness and isolation has soar to new heights. Organizations such as united for all ages is one of many in collaboration with city councils, primary and secondary schools to organize social interactive programs with the elderly.
The live, work, study and social map shows the pattern of networking that exists between different generations. These are examples of activities and daily routines, we share together. Although we share these connections, we are still faced with various levels of segregation, where the elderly gets put in a different swimming class apart from the younger people.
These intergenerational initiatives help us to break down stereotyping among different age groups and help develop a positive attitude towards older people. Studies have also shown, it helps reduce the sense of isolation among the elderly, which in turn lessens depression. Through intergeneration living and connections, young people are able to learn new life skills and embrace their own ageing process positively.
One could argue that, you simply cannot force people to socialise and interact in any given setting. Whilst that may be true, Denise Scott Brown, an american architect and planner, once said: “Architecture can’t force people to connect; it can only plan the crossing points, remove barriers, and make the meeting places useful and attractive.” This project takes intergenerational living a step further, away from just the living space and into a collective community where various connections converge. I believe it “holds the potential to set the stage for chance encounters and social interactions, thus nurturing community building and influencing the fabric of our social culture”.
For kids it is an opportunity to learn life’s fundamental principles such as empathy, compassion etc. According to Forbes, intergenerational programs may be “our kids’ best chance to learn from a caring older adult who not only has ‘been there and done that,’ but has a biological and instinctive need to give the next generation the best opportunity to succeed.”

Urban Design Project: Dingle, L8 Dingle is an inner-city district of Liverpool with a population of 32,577. The L8 district shares its boundary with other districts such as Liverpool central L1 & L3, Wavertree L15, Sefton park L17 and Fairfield L7.
tensions. In 1981 a riot broke out in Toxteth and it led to one loss of life and many buildings in the area either vandalised or destroyed. This brough Liverpool into the limelight.
Over the years, the Dingle as known by many Liverpudlians, has been through many major developments. During the reign of Queen Victoria, it saw an immense level of prosperity. The area soon got populated by the Irish during the Irish famine. It is safe to say the Dingle was built and developed by immigrants just like many areas of Liverpool.
The 1984 the Liverpool International gardens festival was created as a way of bringing Liverpool together. The event was a great success. Unfortunately, the international gardens festival was discontinued but festival gardens remained as reminder of a time Liverpool came together as one.
In time, the Dingle became more diverse and tensions grew. With a diverse community like the Dingle in 1980s, comes all sorts of racial
Today, we look to the Dingle in hopes of restoring that same communal unity and promote its multi-cultural diversity.

History 1850s
The 1850s saw the rich and prosperous era of Queen Victoria across the United Kingdom. At the same time, across the Irish sea was the Great famine which drove a lot of Irish immigrant to seek refuge in Liverpool. Areas such as the Dingle were starting to get populated.
22 Joshua Adejumo 2021 Portfolio
1920s
At this time, the area had been densely populated by individuals of all ages. The use of terrace housing was one of the most common types of development. One could say there was a fuller sense of community due to the diverse population of this area.
1950s
2020
The effect of the devastating World War saw the displacement of many families. The Dingle was one of the places in Liverpool that was heavily bombarded and as a result many home were destroyed.
Fast forward to today, the Dingle is one of the areas in Liverpool that has not lived up to its full potential. The area the housing development in the area is one that has created a scattered community with no easy access to local amenities.

Live Project: Homelessness: Sit-up provision Homelessness in the UK remains at its record highs. At times like this, many local councils are under pressure to provide shelter to as many homeless as possible. Sefton council is one of many in search of new ways of accommodating the homeless at their existing night sit-up services before placing them in more permanent residence. Due to the threat of the global pandemic, these existing sit-up services have been downsized from a maximum capacity of 6 people to 1 person per night. Therefore, the aim of the project was to create a scheme that would accommodate as many people as possible
in a socially distanced environment, whilst accounting for individuals needs. Our team was able to propose an innovative and adaptable design with a well laid out cost plan for the project. We believe that these designs will set a precedent to reducing the level of homeless in Merseyside and across the country.

Brief Sefton Council have a responsibility to provide facilities for short term, emergency provision for homeless people in the borough. The development of a modular design solution to improve the quality of ‘sit-up’ facilities. The design must be adaptable and easily placed into other future ‘sit-up’ facilities across the UK. Documenting and promoting a system/kit to other potential user groups. Two precedents sites have been put forward for initial installation of the modular design as can be seen later. Previously dormitory type solutions were acceptable, but now more physical and hygienic separation is required. The initial solution was to employ contractors to erect basic stud partition, but Sefton are interested in a more innovative and intelligent solution developing a modular, reusable, adaptable system. Thus, the project has plenty of interest in developing modular and production systems and investigating cost and procurement options.

Housing Project: Mixed Residential Living The town of Birkenhead is one that has been neglected and has gone underdeveloped over the years. When compared to the neighbouring city of Liverpool, the town holds no apparent social or economic stance. It is a town often referred to as a ‘ghost town’ because it lacks the amenities which could promote a diverse and vibrant society. The focus of this project was to create a scheme that reveals the potential for growth in an environment that has been deprived of so much for so long. Acknowledging its industrial history, this scheme aims to create a coexisting environment between your local carpentry and joinery shop or cobbler and young professionals in one mixed used complex.

Individual Project: The Bath, Elefsina
From the proposed group masterplan, one of the problems we highlighted was the lack of connection between the city and the waterfront. We further decided to accentuate a key axis which is the Archaeological route. This route serves as the link between Heroes square and the Roman Bath. My design agenda is to further accentuate the Roman Bath by making it a reference point to a new contemporary bath. This is to form the ultimate connection between the Old Roman Bath and the sea.

Curriculum Vitae PERSONAL INFORMATION Name: Joshua Adejumo Email: joshadejumo@gmail.com Contact: 07788216884 Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/joshua-adejumo PERSONAL STATEMENT One of my many passions revolves around social architecture, the result of which is evident in my thesis design. The works of architects like Peter Barber, Moshe Safdie and Alejandro Aravena are ones from which I take inspiration. For me, it is Important that every design embodies the cultural diversity of its enivornment and shows true inclusivity. Over the years, I have acquired a wide range of experiences in sectors such as residential, education, civic, transportation and the industrial sector. In addition to this is my effective use of BIM level 2 on many of these projects. I am an excellent communicator and team player, while confident in assuming responsibility for independent work. Most importantly, I believe that I have a great balance in a work and social environment. Haven recently completed my master’s degree in architecture at Liverpool John Moores University and I am looking forward to applying my skills and passion for architecture in a professional setting.
