THE OLD TOWN BASIN
- MLA | SPECIAL PROJECT [DESIGN & MANAGEMENT] PROJECT OVERVIEW
T
he study area is located within the city centre of Kingston-upon-Hull a historic market town and trading port which is inextricably linked with the North Sea fishing and manufacturing industries. The site lies within the medieval core of the city known as The Old Town. It is bound by Hull Dock Marina to the west and the River Hull to the east. The A63 dual carriageway bisects the Old Town creating a tangible north-south divide. The Old Town is composed of two distinct cultural quarters: the Museum Quarter - a concentration of museums, merchant dwellings and period pubs celebrating the city’s maritime heritage and patrons - and Humber Street Cultural Quarter - an eclectic hub for creative, entrepreneurial businesses set within a rich architectural character. The latter lies within the historic Fruit Market district, a 200 year old landmark site for wholesale fruit and vegetable trade.
KEY ISSUES Pluvial flood risk. The Old Town is vulnerable to both the threat from tidal storm surges and fluvial flooding but the most unaddressed and potentially most damaging is that from extreme rainfall events which is greatly exacerbated by the lack of tree cover, vegetation and permeable
surfaces to alleviate the pressures on stormwater drains. Cultural severance. The A63 dual carriageway has severed pedestrian connections between the city centre, the Museum Quarter and Humber Street Cultural Quarter which is reflected in the prevalence of derelict and inert spaces centred around the A63 corridor. Thermal comfort. Due to the sites location at the confluence of the River Hull and Humber it is exposed to the prevailing winds blowing from the south west and by winds blowing inland from the North Sea, creating cold, blustery microclimatic conditions.
THE VISION " To reaffirm pedestrian connections between the city centre, the Museum Quarter and Humber Street Cultural Quarter through a verdant chain of culturally informed spaces resilient to cloudburst events. Building upon the area’s bohemian identity the Quarter will be redefined as THE social and cultural nexus for the city and as a regional exemplar for best practice stormwater management to be used as a pilot scheme and rolled out across the city centre.

FLOOD MITIGATION To combat the social, economic and environmental risks posed by pluvial flood risk to the city centre the flood mitigation strategy proposes three levels of intervention to diminish its impact.

Qu
Firstly to establish a baseline the strategy charts all surface water flood risk zones for a 1 in 200 year flood event within the city centre and its immediate surrounds. The strategy then identifies all proposed developments and refurbishments to be undertaken in the immediate future within the city centre and overlays this data.

The first level of interventions are termed 'easy wins', these are areas characterised by chronic underuse, dereliction or neglect whereby stormwater management measures could be easily retrofitted. The second level of interventions are termed 'negotiated wins', these are invariably public green spaces that either suffer from underuse or have unexploited potential as stormwater basins and would require a measured process of public consultations to gain development consent. Finally the third level of interventions are termed 'synergistic wins'. These are areas where proposed developments and areas vulnerable to flood risk converge. Therefore the strategy proposes that as a mandatory requirement of planning permission Hull City Council should impose conditions of consent on all developments that lie within the 1 in 200 year surface water flood risk zones to implement stormwater management measures, as it will increase the city's resilience to extreme weather events and reduce the cost of retrofitting blue infrastructure retrospectively.

'... SUNKEN SPACES ...' CONCEPTUAL UNDERPINNING
ď‚„
ď‚„
The design thinking is underpinned by a conceptual framework stating spaces have to be intrinsically resilient to the management of surface water run-off whilst at the same time not excluding or compromising the social use of the space. The concept of sunken spaces has been used as a design template throughout and serves 3 key functions: 1 for social gathering and events, 2 for the detention of stormwater, and 3 as a thermal and acoustic insulator.
HUMBER STREET HOLLOWS PERFORMANCE PARK Envisaged as a social nexus point, the park lies at the confluence of the Museum Quarter and Humber Street Cultural Quarter walking routes. The parks archetypal ampitheatre form is designed to accommodate the wealth of artistic talent emanating from Humber Street and provide them with a space that reinforces the dissident culture of this bohemian quarter. Surface water attenuation forms an aesthetic feature and play element within the park.
08
HUMBER STREET "... A place of cultural conflux ..." Composed of a collective of niche independent businesses, Humber Street forms the cultural heart of the quarter. Due to its rich architectural makeup and antiquated character, design interventions are minimal (such as the shared surface) and work in sympathy with the weathered physical fabric. Increased greening in the form of new trees, statement green roofs and green walls will help cultivate the developing green identity of the quarter without eroding its original spirit of place.

MARINA GARDENS DETENTION BASIN During cloudburst events, the terraced lawn serves as a surface detention basin. Due to the cultural profile of the site for festivals and events auxiliary control measures are required to manage the day-by-day acceptability of above ground water attenuation (in the form of a subterranean storage structure) so not to compromise the social use of the space. Additionally temporary raised boardwalks afford dual function of the space for both social use and stormwater detention.

DETENTION BASIN CHURCH LANE STAITH DETENTION BASIN Although it functions as a usable space when dry, unlike Humber Street Hollows Performance Park or Marina Gardens which have been designed to accommodate a broad range of social and cultural functions, the design of this detention basin has been driven by utility to hold a purely sacrificial function. During periods of inclement weather it serves as the principle stormwater attenuation basin for the Quarter capable of holding large volumes of water to attenuate the risk of overland flooding elsewhere and to allow other outdoor event venues to go on uninhibited.

- MLA | SPECIAL PROJECT [MANAGEMENT PLAN] PROJECT OVERVIEW
A
s a component of my DesignManagement special project strand I developed a management plan for how the vision developed at the design stage would be delivered in practice. The scope of the management plan principally addresses how the landscape will be managed to accommodate both storm water and events without compromising the function of either. It establishes broad aims and objectives that are to be realised through specific management recommendations set within a 10 year timeframe. The plan establishes a long term vision for

how the site could be used as pilot project to guide the future integration of stormwater management systems at other prominent city centre locations to mitigate the risk of pluvial flooding. To ensure future use of the public realm it outlines a robust programme of events and activities and also outlines how such events are to be managed during inclement weather. Due to political and financial shortfalls identified within the existing municipal management structure the plan proposes that the formation of a Trust would be better equipped to secure the necessary capital and revenue funding to sustain the public realm's high quality maintenance/management in perpetuity.

OVERVIEW
6.1.1
Although the new landscape infrastructure has been designed to function in concert with the existing cultural fabric, the success of the Quarter is entirely dependent on the people and activities that populate it. As without the vivacity and activity of its local inhabitants, the landscape is rendered inert and will inevitably fall into disrepair. Therefore in order for the Quarter to be economically and socially sustainable it is vital to build on its bohemian identity to ensure use and activity and guard against decline.

6.2.1
The frequency and scope of the programme of events and activities will be severely inhibited during the first three years of management due to the phased construction works occurring within the Quarter hindering physical accessibility. During this period only small events and activities (later defined as baseline and frequent events and activities) will occur to control the number of site users within the public realm and to limit the associated risk presented by ongoing construction operations.

The programme of events and activities (as outlined in Section 6.3) seeks to augment existing enterprises and cultivate a robust draw for the Quarter to broaden the target audience and catalyse a reliable revenue stream. However, as the Quarter has a strong bohemian, non-commercialised character, additional events and activities should compliment the Quarter's niche appeal, thus maintaining the area's authenticity and not conflict with or erode its unique sense of place. Furthermore the type of new events and activities will seek to galvanise the local community and instill a sense of civic pride.

CROOKES VALLEY PARK
- MLA | LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE AUDIT & PLAN PROJECT OVERVIEW
T
he module was split into two assignments. For the first assignment the project brief was to compile an inventory of all features within the park focussing specifically on the dominant vegetation types/zones, then appraise the existing maintenance regimes for each zone to identify any salient maintenance issues and areas of opportunity. The appraisals of each zone were assessed in terms of: character, seasonal interest, safety, biodiversity, public use, aesthetic, cost of maintenance and efficiancy of the maintenance regime.

For the second assignment the project brief was to use the information gathered for the site audit to formulate a radical vision to reinvigorate this enervated park landscape. This involved the development of broad recommendations for the park and specific maintenance prescriptions for each zone. The purpose of the module was to demonstrate the transformative effect in aesthetic, revenue and use of place/ spaces that can be achieved simply through changes in maintenance regime without the need for costly overhauls of the site design.

Key Species
Prunus avium (34 nr), Alnus cordata (6 nr).
Quality / Condition
Judging by their well developed tree crowns and girth, the trees are well established and in good health. There is clear evidence of past crown lifting probably to accommodate pedestrian migration; the healed callus donuts on the leading stems of the Prunus species are a good indication that tree limbs were cut properly from the branch bark ridge and not flush cut. Despite the unevenly spaced tree positions and sloping gradient there is no evidence of tree girdling around the root flare of the trees from mower damage. There are numerous surface roots perhaps due to surface soil erosion, that are encroaching towards the path edges.
Seasonal Interest
Although short-lived in mid April it produces spectacular floral blossoms, comprising a wash of creamy whites and pastel to fuscia pinks. In Autumn, the foliage colour shifts to bright ambers and pumpkin orange hues.
Functional Significance
The rows of Prunus have woven together to form a dense street tree avenue and clearly articulate the parks edge. The spacing between tree stands is organically clustered, these less formal aggregations help soften the parks structural uniformity, but pose an elevated cost for grass mowing maintenance.
Reflection on Resource Input
As most of the trees are well established and have experienced earlier crown lifting, they generally require very little maintenance aside from removing damaged or diseased trees or limbs. Furthermore as the trees are quite long lived, capital can be recouped from the early formative and establishment costs due to a reduction in maintenance regime.
Key Maintenance Issues & Opportunities
Surface and lateral tree roots pose an issue to the grass cutting maintenance around them and due to the frequency of grass cutting it heightens the risk of tree girdling. Open wounds caused as a consquence of this could incur fungal infections which would debase the structural integrity and survival of the tree. Therefore, as covering over with soil or removing the roots is not an option, electing for a low maintenance ground cover would negate the risk of girdling and create a visually tidier appearance.
Not to scale
11.3 | ZONE 3: ORNAMENTAL PLANTING FREQUENCY
Annually cut down all herbaceous perennials to 75mm above the ground using a petrol brushcutter and remove to composting area. Do not cut down in Autumn as it removes the potential for frost bleached stems and structural seedheads in Winter.
Once, annually in late February or March
Apply 75mm of coarse bark chippings, as they are most hostile to germination via seed rain. However, if unavailable use other organic debris from the compost area. Preference of mulch material should be exerted for the planting at the entrance as it has a higher prestige setting.
Once immediately after herbaceous material is cut back
Dig out all roses in early Spring after the last frosts when the plant is still in a dormant growth phase to cause minimal stress, trying to retain as much of the root ball as possible. Any undamaged rose specimens could be sold off to the general public to generate capital.
Once in March or early April
Blade grade the former rose beds to appropriate level, remove any stones in excess of 50mm and rake to a fine tilth (Derek Lovejoy Partnership, 1997, p301). Lay general purpose utility turf in Autumn within 24 hours of dispatch from the supplier, do not lay if the ground is frozen, waterlogged or heavily compacted. Do not cut until the sward reaches a height of 50mm. Subsequently maintain as specified within section 11.5.
Once in October
Procure Choisya ternata, Cotinus coggygria ‘Royal Purple’, Parthenocissus quinquefolia, Rudbeckia fulgida var. sullivantii ‘Goldsturm’, Verbena bonariensis and plant as 2L pots @ 9 per m². Emulate the planting volumes and composition found at the park entrance to give coherence between the spaces.
Once in February

* Reflection on Cost: Resource garnered through the sale of roses will likely be of negligible significance, but as financial resource is limited any extra capital is critical. The removal of the rose beds is costly, but money should be recouped in the long term. Additional planting will raise short term resource input but its significance to the park will outweigh this increase.

THE GARDEN GATEWAY
- 3RD YEAR | INTEGRATED DESIGN PROJECT PROJECT OVERVIEW
T
he site is set on a spur on the lower slopes of an ancient hill known as Hallam Spur and at the confluence of the River Don and the River Sheaf. This locality has a rich history being the site of Sheffield’s castle from the 12th century until its destruction in 1648 during the Civil War. Subsequently the area was used for markets right up to present day, constructed atop of the original castle footprint.
The brief placed particular emphasis on rekindling a lost affinity with the river and exposing the confluence. As a site of tangible cultural significance, it also highlighted opportunities to reaffirm the landscapes sense of place.

DESIGN VISION An ecologically responsive landscape with a sympathetic resonance to memory. The design is articulated by a holistic drainage system whereby water is collected, harboured and remediated through a sumptuous tapestry of ecological cells.
ď‚„
22
DETAILED DESIGN THE CLEANSING BIOTOPE The arresting stature of the castle rampart and defensive moat are echoed through the scale and tiered descent of the arterial drainage system. This constructed wetland is squeezed through the extruding forms of the relic castle before descending through a series of terraced detention cells designed to attenuate runoff.
23
PLANTING STRATEGY To reverence the whites and blue-violet to red colour spectrum of the riparian plant communities and perennial rich grasslands prevalent circa1600; whilst not being wholly limited by this palette. Grasses are pivotal to forming the structural foil of the plantings, syncopating the cellular rhythms of the markets and evoking the imposing verticality of the castle.
