PERSONAL POSITION PERSONAL POSITION During my undergraduate studies I developed a strong interest in the early work of Richard Rogers and the work of Team Four. The concept of buildings functioning as machines, which could adapt to their fluctuating context fascinated me, As I moved onto the masters course my interest and research into this field of architecture developed further and I developed an interest in a group of architects from Los Angeles who developed a design movement during the 1980’s which re-imagined the future of Los Angeles through the development of a architecture which functions as a machine. Neil Denari, Wes Jones, Bryan Cantley and Thom Mayne were all part of this movement and have all provided a strong point of reference for me in the development of my work whilst completing my masters. My interest in this subject area has lead me to the belief that today architecture is seen and far to often designed as as static object, which fails to adapt to its ever changing context. My final year thesis project (Hinterlands and the Anthropocene) challenges this theory. The project is focused on the principles of additive architecture which was developed as a theory by Jorn Utzon. The project aims to create to new fishing communities in which the residents are able to construct, adapt and modify their own community over time to suit the fluctuating context it finds itself situated within.

DESIGN STUDIO DESIGN STUDIO CONTEXT The theme for the studio is focused specifically on the coastlines and their associated territories of the United Kingdom. Coastlines are constantly in a state of flux due to natural and human forcings. Climate change is speeding up the process of erosion along our coastlines and the regularity of flood events is increasing. Therefore as a studio we have been challenged to engage with these inherent territorial conditions and develop strategies which can alter the current future projections. The Fluctuating Archipelago unit utilises a systematic approach to design which utilises cartographies, geomorphological processes and data as a means of designing. Understanding in depth the key geomorphological processes on our sites is a key part of the Fluctuating Archipelago design methodology. To enable us to do this we have developed new skills with specific computer software not ordinarily utilised within the field architecture. For the development of this thesis project I have utilised a piece of software called Caeser, which has enabled me to simulate specific coastal conditions and how they alter the geological makeup of my site over a period of time.

DESIGN THESIS THE DESIGN THESIS THESIS DESCRIPTION The project develops a system of managed realignment schemes across the Wash Estuary, which allows the newly formed marshland to be economically productive through fish farming, DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM Most of the Fens around the Wash Estuary lie within a couple of meters of sea level, therefore with sea levels predicted to rise by at least a meter within the next 100 years parts of the Fens will become permanently flooded. The shoreline management plan for the Wash Estuary proposes a network of managed realignment schemes in the most vulnerable areas of the Wash Estuary. However most of the land which will be lost to the sea via these realignment projects is grade one farmland. Losing this land will be detrimental to the local economy, which is almost entirely supported by the agricultural industry.
THE PROPOSAL The overriding aim of the project is to offset the negative economic consequences that managed realignment schemes will bring. This thesis proposes that the areas of realigned land should be economically productive and contribute to the local economy through various activities appropriate to the specific site conditions. This thesis concentrates on one particular economic activity which would be appropriate for the site and that is fish farming. The project envisages the development of a number of small fishing communities spread across the areas of realigned land. Their are two key aspects to the design proposal and both are linked to the aspect of time. The first aspect is the development of the land and how the tidal creeks develop over time and how they can be then utilised for fish farming. The second aspect is the design of the fishing villages around the tidal creeks and how they respond to the changing conditions of the site. It is proposed that over time as the tidal creeks develop in size and complexity the fish farming activity will intensify. Alongside this the development of the fishing villages will react accordingly and will grow to support the extra fish farming activity. THE CONCEPTS There are two key concepts in the development of this project, the first is the geomorphological development of this land as it is turned from farmland into salt-marshes. Through using simulation software I have been able to test the development of tidal creek patterns and how these can be manipulated through architectural interventions to form fish ponds suitable for fish farming. The second key concept is the development of the new settlement formations around the fish farms. Through the use of additive architecture these settlements can develop organically over a period of time in response to their context.

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS TECHNICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL QUESTIONS IMBEDDED INTO THE DESIGN PROCESS As mentioned earlier, a key part of the Fluctuating Archipelago unit involves the utilisation of specialist computer software. As part of the development of this thesis simulation software called Caesar has been used. Caesar is a 2d flow and sediment and transport model which was designed to simulate morphological changes in river catchments. However in the development of this thesis project it has been utilised to simulate the morphological changes of tidal creeks, which share many of the same characteristics of rivers in terms of sediment deposition and erosion. There are a number of different user inputs which determine the outputs from the simulation software. High definition 25cm Digital Elevation Models from the site, provide the simulation software with a detailed build up of the site contours. The second input required by the simulation software is the water. In this case I was able to use a tidal input which simulates water pulsing in and out of the site, the software also allows you to customise the water input settings. I therefore used actual tide data from the Wash Estuary. The final input is the build-up of sediment on the site, therefore using real borehole data from the site, I was able to accurately recreate the site conditions. The simulation software has been a key part of the design process in the development of this thesis project. The software has enabled me to simulate the development of tidal creeks over an extended period of time and as a result the formation of the tidal creeks has informed the design of the fishing villages.
ASSOCIATED WITH DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION The additive architecture principle dictates that the buildings within the fishing village must be able to expand organically over an extended period of time. In addition to this the buildings must be able to be constructed using low skilled labour with minimal heavy machinery. To facilitate this I have developed a system of prefabricated modular Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) which work within a 2 metre structural grid system. The panels which will be maximum of 2 metres in length will be supplied to site with cladding and glazing installed, reducing construction time on site. The two meter grid system and standardised building components allow the buildings to be easily expanded over time.

FURTHER DEVELOPMENT FURTHER DEVELOPMENT The thesis at this stage concentrates on one small section of the Wash Estuary coastline and fish farming is the sole activity proposed on the realigned land. However the coastline of the Wash Estuary covers over 75 miles and is spread across three counties. Therefore if i was able to develop this thesis further, I would aim to develop a larger strategic vision for the entire Wash Estuary. The first task to provide a successful strategic vision would be to identify the specific areas of the coastline which are most at risk, this would help develop a time-line for further realignment in relation to the risks faced. The second task would be to research and develop new functions for these areas of realigned land. Currently my thesis focuses on fish farming as a potential activity which could be productive for the local economy. However to deploy fish farms across the entire Wash estuary would not be a sustainable proposition economically and environmentally. Therefore alternative strategies such as tourism must be developed, so the Wash Estuary is not over reliant on one particular industry.

PREFACE PREFACE Report 2 of the Integrated Design Report considers the practical, economic and legal implementation of the design thesis. The report is aimed to develop the thinking behind the project beyond just the design and potentially create a more credible project as there is a deeper understanding of the practical implementation of the project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposal for the project is to develop small fishing communities on areas of realigned land on the coastline of the Wash Estuary, Lincolnshire. The project utilises simulation software which enables me to simulate tidal creek formations and how they can be manipulated to form landscapes suitable for fish farming. The fishing villages are constructed on pier structures which run along the tidal creek formations. The pier structures and the communities built on them adapt and grow over time in relation to the formation of the tidal creeks. This is achieved through the use of an additive architecture concept which utilises prefabricated building components. For further Information see page 13 of report one.

PLANNING ISSUES PLANNING ISSUES Due to the nature of the proposal there are potentially a few hurdles in relation to planning which must be successfully negotiated. The large scale of the project means that there are several key stakeholders within the project, who all have a vested interested in the project. The stakeholders are shown below: Environment Agency DEFRA Boston Borough Council Lincolnshire County Council Witham and Fourth Drainage Board RSPB Local Land Owners (Farmers) Therefore good communication and consultation with all relevant stakeholders involved would be crucial to the success of this project. The stakeholder with the largest interest within the project would be the local landowners whose land is going to be realigned. Any potential issues surrounding the local landowners could be reduced by good communication and appropriate compensation for the value of their land. This project has been developed around the framework set out by the shoreline management plan for the Wash Estuary, which has been developed by the Environment Agency in conjunction with local and central government. The shoreline management dictates what actions should be undertaken on coastlines across the United Kingdom. The recommendations for the Wash Estuary are as follows: Short Term (Present Day to 2025) - Hold the line Medium Term (2025-2055) - Hold the line or Managed Realignment Long Term (2055-2105) - Managed Realignment The shoreline management is recommending managed realignment schemes across the Wash Estuary, therefore my project falls within this framework. Typically though realigned land is left to develop naturally as salt marsh, this option does offer a greater benefit to the environment however there is no potential for any economic return from this land. My proposal suggests that through implementing a basic pier infrastructure across the site, the realigned land could be economically productive and could offset the cost of realigning the land and compensation paid to the farmers. Therefore it is likely that this scheme would face little opposition from central/local government and the environment agency.
According to national planning policy the site would be a Flood Zone 3b area, which is classed as a functional floodplain. National policy dictates that only water compatible and essential infrastructure should be located in this zone and that any development must remain operational and safe during times of flood. The design of this proposal successfully achieves this by simply locating all essential infrastructure on pier structures above the flood level. The isolated nature of the site also means that access to existing amenities is limited. Therefore the villages have been designed to be self sufficient. Rain water harvesting systems are utilised for both potable and non potable water. The villages and orientation of the roofs have been designed in such a way to maximise potential solar gain for the photovoltaic panels located on the roofs of the buildings. Wastewater is treated on site through the use of constructed reed beds.

REPORT 2
DEVELOPMENT APPRAISAL SCENARIO DEVELOPMENT APPRAISAL SCENARIO The coastline around the Wash Estuary is currently the responsibility of the Environment Agency which is a government agency therefore the existing coastline is owned by central government. However the land immediately behind the coastline, the “Hinterland” is mostly privately owned by farmers and it is this land which will be occupied by the realignment schemes. Once the realignment schemes have taken place these Hinterlands will develop into salt-marshes and will now be considered as the new coastline. Therefore there will need to be a transition of land ownership from the farmers to the Environment Agency as the Hinterlands is transformed into salt-marsh. This is potentially a difficult issue because the land owned by the farmers is some of the most productive and valuable farmland in the United Kingdom with an acre of farmland on average costing £7850. Therefore the farmers are not going to be keen on losing their land to managed realignment schemes, they would much prefer for the existing coastline to de defended with hard defences. However for an area such as the Wash this is not a sustainable option as any government funding for flood defences demands a saving of £8 on flood damage for every £1 spent, the Hinterlands of the Wash do not meet this criteria. Its also important to mention that the issues related to rising sea levels is not isolated to the Wash Estuary many other coastlines across the United Kingdom are under-threat and do not meet the criteria for hard flood defences. As this is an issue at national scale it would be most appropriate if there was legislation from central government which would first of all the set out the specific conditions (risk,economic,etc) required for managed realignment schemes to be implemented the legislation could also give local governments the power to obtain private land under a compulsory purchase order. This would become known as the Coastlines Act of 2016. Local governments in association with the Environment Agency would be then responsible for locating suitable areas managed realignment schemes as part of the shoreline management plans. Large corporations would be then setup and they would then be responsible for the delivery and maintenance of a number of managed realignment schemes across a geographical region. For example the realignment scheme in this thesis would form part of South East Lincolnshire corporation who would be responsible for all realignment schemes in the South East of Lincolnshire.
FIG.10_FLOOD DEFENCE INVESTMENT CARTOGRAPHY
The funding for the development of the initial infrastructure would be acquired from central government funds, However this would be repaid over time as plots of land on the realignment schemes would be rented out to fish farmers. Initially income from rent would be quite low, however over time as the tidal creeks develop in complexity and size, larger and more intensive fish farms will develop. Different rent rates could be applied to the fish farmers depending whether they had an extensive, semi-intensive or intensive fish farm. Any further development to the pier infrastructure or communities would be the responsibility of the fish farmers, who would form co-operatives.

REPORT 2
PROCUREMENT AND RISK PROCUREMENT & RISK A large scale project such as this would be developed over number of years and the project has been designed to be developed in phases relating to the information gained from the simulation software. PHASE 1 (1-5 YEARS) The initial phase would be the construction of the realignment scheme. This would involve breaching the existing sea wall, constructing new sea walls further inland and digging the initial tidal creek system. The environment agency alongside specialist contractors would carry out these initial groundwork. This phase of construction would carry the most risk as it involves working at ground level with heavy machinery in a tidal environment. Risk could be reduced by completing all landward construction first and then breaching the sea wall at the latest possible moment, risks could be further reduced by using specialist contractors with experience in marine engineering. PHASE 2 (5-10 YEARS) Following the initial groundwork the simulation software suggested that it would take approximately five years for the tidal creek system to develop naturally to an extent which would be appropriate for small scale extensive fish farms. Therefore during this phase the initial pier infrastructure would be constructed. Driven timber piles will be used as foundation system. Timber was chosen due to the risk of contamination of the salt-marsh from using concrete piles. The initial building structures on the pier will be constructed by the fish farm owners using low skilled labour. The modular prefabricated systems means the construction process is easy and efficient. The light SIPS panels also mean that heavy lifting equipment is not required on site either. PHASE 3 (10-25 YEARS) As the tidal creek develops in complexity and size further pier structures are constructed. This would be the last phase of pier construction as the tidal creeks reach maturity. Care must be taken on site during the construction processes as to not contaminate the salt-marsh as it is a fragile habitat. During this period of tidal creek growth the number of fish farms would increase. Therefore further construction of buildings on the pier structure would be required. Again this would be the responsibility of the farm owners who would utilise low skilled local labour.
PHASE 4 (25-50 YEARS) During this stage the tidal creek has reached maturity therefore room for further fish farms is minimal. As a result the fish farms develop into smaller more intensive systems. The density of the fish farms increases and so do the dwellings on the pier structures. Construction during this stage is limited to the development of new buildings and the growth of existing buildings on the pier structure. Again this construction is the responsibility of the farm owners. The extensive dyke network surrounding the site is utilised as connectivity network, and materials are transported to site via barges.

ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE In this project the architect would be responsible for the design and development of the modular building system. The architect would not be responsible for the deployment and layout of the buildings on site. This would ultimately be the responsibility of the farm owners as they would construct their own dwellings using the prefabricated components according to their own requirements. The architect would provide a design guide which would provide the farmer with information regarding optimum orientation of buildings for solar gain amongst other environmental factors. A basic construction manual would also be provided to aide the construction processes on site. In addition to the design of the modular building system the architect would work in partnership with landscape architects to develop the larger master-plan for the deployment of the pier structures. In relation to the RIBA plan of work the following stages would be undertaken by the architect: 0_Strategic Definition, the architect would work in unison with local government, South East Lincolnshire Corporation and the Environment Agency to understand the key aims of the project. 1_Preperation and Brief, Initial feasibility studies would be undertaken, a final brief would also be agreed with South East Lincolnshire Corporation. 2_Concept Design, Initial concept design would be developed this would involve the key principles of the modular prefabricated system. 3_Developed Design, Environmental and servicing as well as structural issues would be resolved at this stage. 4_Technical Design, The architect would work in unison with the company to develop prototypes of the prefabricated and finalise the design details. Stages 5 (Construction), 6 (Handover), 7 (In use) would not fall under the responsibility of the architect in this project. The construction of the prefabricated system would ultimately be the responsibility of the farm owner. The construction of the pier structure would be the responsibility of a specialist engineering firm with the relevant experience in marine engineering.

PERSONAL REFLECTION PERSONAL REFLECTION I am currently employed by Nick Brown architects in Leeds and I would like to develop and expand on my currently limited experience in professional practice. I have yet to complete my part one work experience so completing this is my immediate aim, following this I aim to complete my part two work experience. Whilst in practice I aim to continue my architectural education through the learning of new software skills such as Revit and 3ds Max. I would also like to enter architecture competitions outside of work as I feel that it would provide me with a greater freedom to express my interests architecturally, than I would ever be able to whilst working within the constraints of professional practice. Further down the line I would like to return to education to develop my skills within a more specific field of architecture. As mentioned earlier in report one, I have a strong interest in the work of Neil Denari, Thom Mayne amongst other who all teach at SCIARC in Los Angeles. Therefore I aim to travel to Los Angles for a year to complete a postgraduate degree in the course “Masters of Science in Design of Cities�. This would however be dependent on be able to receive sort of funding to cover part of the $36,000 tuition fees. Whilst working in professional practice I would also be interested in tutoring architecture students in University part time. I was fortunate enough this year to experience this several times as I was asked to sit in on first year crits and provide feedback. In addition to this my studio tutors asked me to provide a drawing workshop for the 1st year masters students. I enjoyed being able to share the knowledge and skills I have acquired so far on my journey to becoming an architect.
