Victoria Gas Works, Sheffield

A Sheffield city site, hidden behind a viaduct, covered in abandoned and underused warehouses, dominated by unwelcoming boundary walls and lack of light.

The potential I see in this site comes from its central location; the hidden small pockets of peace; its river and canal; the stillness created by the 15m high viaduct; its historical architecture and socially led ‘underground’ businesses.

Community, belonging and social interactions are well known for enhancing people’s general well-being and boosting self-esteem. In the western-21st century, outdoor ‘stranger’ interaction is discouraged.

Perhaps this is what is missing for the ‘chronically stressed generation’. What, in a landscape, encourages social interactions and community? Public benches and connections between communities also seen as community.

Material Strategy: Naturalising the hard urban landscape, softening through introduced vegetation and encouraging flowing movement through the space. Colour palette is relatively simply stand out elements so as to not detract from the big picture. Texture is important for bringing attention to detail and proving varied tactile experiences so people connect to the space ‘here and now’.

Planting Strategy: 1) Introducing contrasting beauty to known eye-sores transforming perspectives.

2) Bringing richness in species number and structural diversity to encourage interest in ones surroundings and improve ecology.

3) Creating ‘soft’ space in a hard environment to encourage activeness and freedom of expression.

4) Providing ‘rooms’ in the landscape through soft and hard structuring, allowing for all preferences in use of space.

Aire Island, Leeds

VISION: Reclaim the hard surfaced, empty island and canal as a community hub for locals daily needs (e.g. music performances, water sports, child care, bike repair etc).

The island will become a relaxing green space where the community can enjoy wildlife, the river and canal activity.

Accessibility for all mobility to the, currently underused, unique island and canal area.

The adjacent, dark, dominating museum will be adapted to engage directly with the riverside and be less visually imposing.

Te a m Eu to pi a

This project was undertaken through group work and was a very enjoyable experience. The skills I learnt on the ‘leadership course’ over the previous year came in useful and our team was strong and resilient to usual group work problems.

The work we undertook involved: - Site visits with on-site sketches and site analysis - Experiential mapping (supported by Kevin Thwaites research and theories), this helps people-sensitive analysis with the locals use in mind.

- Identification of problems and attributes - Design process and communication through sketches and drawing together a site-sensitive vision.

- Model making, exploring design ideas and expression through 3D form.

- Presenting these ideas to an audience using a range of methods of presentation.

Design Aims: 1.

Define spaces which can provide for various active group uses.

2.

Provide safe, legible access to the island and canal area.

3.

Adapt the museum to improve aesthetics through artistic interventions and built form manipulation.

4.

Maintain the everyday functionality and character of the canal and tow path.

5.

Introduce vegetation to provide sensory experience and a greener setting.

Physical activity can positively affect both physical and psychological well�being.

Being in natural environments can restore cognitive attention, reduce stress, encourage physical activity, enhance community life and encourage community cohesion.

Design Strategy Principles supported by Kaplan: Aim to create a series of restorative places ranging from socially and physically restorative to psychologically restorative.

- Being away: easily accessible fascination, supports effortless attention - Extent: offers scope and coherence - Compatibility: support intended activities - Lighting: extended period of restorative benefit

Parkwood Springs Adventure Park, Sheffield

This project involved a Landscape Character Assessment, suitability and sustainability results, and a following proposed design, in character with the area and the local supportive and active communities.

Currently the site has multiple uses, much of it taken up by uncared for parkland with limited accessibility.

There is an abandoned ski village (since 2012); landfill site (closed 2014, restoration plans until 2020) and a large pocket of ancient woodland with an overgrown cemetery.

The Friends of Parkwood Springs are an active community group have been wanting this site to be developed for decades, and with the help of the universities imaginative students, perhaps one day this change shall come about.

Two main objectives.

First is to enhance the parks existing habitats and create new ones throughout the park.

The second is to interweave an adventure park with many different activities ranging from hiking to skiing to ziplining, providing an additional purpose for visitors and year round interest.

Adventure of the Peaks in the heart for the city.

oakham drive enhanced to become a main entrance for pedestrians and vehicles.

Entrance opened up on Rutland road with a sense of arrival an archway.

Warehouses removed, existing native planting enhanced and more dramatically introduced providing a sense of wild nature within the cities boundaries.

Community led Funding proposal Taking inspiration from one of the UK’s leading educational adventure providers called PGL. They create outdoor environments that inspire learning through adventure with safe and ethical running of activities.

‘Grey to Green’

West Bar, Sheffield

Project name:

RESPONSE:

Riverside Business Improvement District for councils ‘Grey to Green’ improvements.

An exciting live project, my design encourages mixed use and comfortable use from people of all walks of life, from those walking into town from nearby estates to lawyers and business-people from adjacent buildings. It also draws attention to sustainable design and ephemeral movement of surface rainwater runoff which is directed into urban swales, creating seasonal attraction and interest.

BRIEF from Sheffield City Council: Innovative, landscape design proposal for development of a new linear green/blue corridor and associated spaces, with strong emphasis on ecology, biodiversity, climate-change mitigation & urban resilience.

Case Studies

Pedestrian dominance.

Materiality ideas

Light Street, Penang

The Indianapolis Culture Trail.

Bold, clean design intertwined with a resilient, pioneering focus on ecological enhancements (SUDS, storm water planters), developing a unique identity to an advancing business district. Positive environment retaining flexibility for future enhancement with an expanding budget.

A firm identity to engage the ‘brand’ of Sheffield, embracing the cities art reputation, hospitality, festive & working culture, stimulating a ‘sense of place’ and forming a lasting legible legacy.

Textured surface SUDS design.

Attention to Patterns in movement detail landscape.

Proposal: small kiosk, owned & run by TAP (‘The Adsetts Partnership’, organisation helping adults with learning difficulties get work experience & jobs) in a pop-up-park. Strong through route for a variety of people. Local community groups and organisations may be interested in getting involved.

Aesthetics of the design feature importantly, introducing fresh, innovative, appropriate and sustainable design for a high performing business district aiming to invite influx of more business and commuters.

My design and vision for this Riverside Business District were selected by Sheffield City Council to contribute towards the Spring 2014 ‘Grey to Green’ urban regeneration proposal as part of the City Centre Masterplan.

Three of my visualisations have been used in the funding application and interest document, one shown opposite on the front page of the local newspaper.

OPPORTUNITIES & AIMS

• Shaping space to facilitate and encourage harmonious dayto-day cross-over of loiterers/ stroller’s/speed walkers, creating opportunities for brief interactions, strengthening social cohesion.

• Showcase the thriving potential and beauty of self-sustaining planting and ecological design amongst the urban realm, encouraging a more healthy river ecosystem as well as ecological biodiversity.

• Reawaken interest in Sheffield’s history by deculverting the River Sheaf celebrating the unique relationship Sheffield has with its rivers, and bringing Sheffield Castle ruins to light and for people to discover and learn about.

• Dynamic, diverse, cared for and refreshing.

• Strengthen connections with immediate surroundings e.g.

River walk trials, the Steel Route, Victoria Quays, Riverside Business district and more.

• Encourage photos to be taken of life being lived, not of empty landscapes.

• Highlight cues of care, forming an accessible ‘life line’ with the city.

WAINGATE GATEWAY This area of further detail is to the South West corner of the Castlegate City Park. As the main gateway into and out of the Park is will be a highly used and well

Known landmark. It has a strong threshold feel due to the towering, guard-like Lotus trees, the raised collecting space that gently gathers people to an elevated 5m narrow gateway, that after a brief pause, spills down and out into the park.

It is a raised flat platform, acting like a castle mound overlooking its surrounding land. Accessible for ablebodied as well as the physically impaired, cyclists and push-chairs, with another gradually sloped route circling around the mound. It is a space designed for movement as well as a meeting place, allowing for a ‘fast-track’ as well as niches for individuals to loiter with a cup of coffee, waiting for a friend or simply enjoying the fresh air and the view.

06 Bright Stars Islamic Nursery BRIEF: Re-design the outdoor play space for the Islamic-based nursery in a primary school, creating opportunities for outdoor teaching and engaging play.

Budget to be as low as possible, as are management needs. Budget for implementation is also low, to be kept in mind.

Improved visual protection from outside is of high priority as is the safety of the children in general.

My design was approved of by the nursery staff and discussions were held for the construction of a combined design with a couple of other students.

Unfortunately it didn’t come to be due to loss of funding and labour implementation time.

Design proposals create safe play opportunities into the existing slope, encouraging exploration & imagination through play. Built in terraces for growing of herbs encouraged by Islam teachers. Pictorial display of the creation story displayed around the bounding fence which also prevents unwanted visuals from the outside.

RESPONSE: An enjoyable, unique project, of which I highly enjoyed meeting the teachers of the nursery and discussing their visions and needs for the design.

Researching and understanding more about Islamic values was fascinating, as was working along side another culture was very rewarding. It has inspired me to further explore designing for multi-cultural areas.

Elmore Community Sustainable Housing

BRIEF: An opportunity to become more familiar with contemporary issues regarding housing, policies, social perceptions, legislation and the notion of sustainability. Involving issues such as integrated transport policies, ecology, sustainability, conservation and local distinctiveness.

A people and sustainable focused design for a pioneering, interactive community housed in high-quality clusters of homes. These homes are of a variety of typologies and sizes to welcome a mix of residents. They will be built to a highly environmentally friendly standard, supported by the push towards not owning a car and lack of parking. Made possible due to site location, 15 minute walking distance from the city centre and 5 minutes walk to a local corner shop.

The layout aims to encourage a healthy community, allowing for individuality and inter-activity. This can be influenced by house orientation, topographical changes and communal areas being provided.

09 Howbrook LVIA, The Peak District This was the first LVIA I completed at university. Following, at the Landscape Partnership, I assisted in a number of LVIAs including the desk top studies, analysis diagrams and proposal drawings.

This LVIA was based upon how they would be undertaken in practice. This included: - Site visits; - Scoping (planning policy frameworks, Cobex Opencast Coal mining proposals); - Landscape baseline information (accessing character area descriptions and other designations via Magic and Natural England); - Visual baseline information (including using software to show the ZTV’s); - Concluding the potential and predicted landscape impacts as well as overall significance of landscape effects.

On-site viewpoints recorded and visual impacts

- Visual impact assessment (showing visually the changes that may occur, as seen in the photos below) - Stating the mitigation measures (avoidance, reduction, compensation, restoration) - And a concluding summary.
