Our studio context is from David Harvey’s ’17 Contradictions of Capitalism’. He introduced an alternative governance in which necessities are provided directly rather than on the basis of ability to pay and to stop people accumulating money as a form of social power. The hierarchy of a traditional company would collapse. Instead, we would have a collaborative structure and also a intercompany collaboration environment.
My initial moves looked to bring in the HS2 Station to the South of AMP. HS2 station has been re-proposed several times in Sheffield and still waiting for an idealised verdict. With the station proposed, the isolated manufacturing park will be reachable from the whole district or even other regions. To begin an new urban experience, the station helps to transform the way the AMP works in term of what the relationship to the building and the external spaces might be.
Grid plan method is used to create the urban blocks with the routes extended from the adjacent housing area. Sitting on the the expansion lands of the AMP. These seven blocks will have their own functions provided based on the context. Two at the bottom are the HS2 station and interchange hub. Two blocks on the top will be related to the manufacturing industry context. The remaining three blocks in the middle will be extension of the existing ‘Evolution’ and ‘R-Evolution’ business offices.
My project site as a new public engaged hub is chosen on Rolls Royce expansion land in the centre of the park. Massing models are formed subsequently according to the views framed through the spatial conditions studies. To act as a public image in the park, the hub must is located at the corresponding point of the routes either by train or by cars. Two existing office blocks to the east of will be demolished to offer a between connection to the existing local communities in Waverley.
A district currently defined by surface parking lots and lack of identity will be transformed into a dense, well-balanced urban setting, with a clearly defined sense of place. The launch parties will catalyse development of the core plaza, followed by incremental investment that reinforces the heart of the district. ’Grey to green‘ landscape planning method is also adapted to create a sense of place for the user communities.
The future light monorail will be connected to my building. Based the AMP vision to connect the AMP 1& 2 and Sheffield Business Park in order to improve local proximity physically, tram/rail services are mentioned in the existing vision report. I bring in the Light rail service connected to the district and the HS2 station. Together with this arrival point, a large atrium space, entrance courtyard, lawn, and the core plaza, my building has become part of the sequence of new public spaces in AMP.
By referring to Steven Holl’s methodologies, to promote the collaboration within the park , I use series of spatial studies to introduce new public spaces into AMP in order to replace the existing parking-based principle. These drawings indicate some of the collective design decision which have influenced the deign of my building and how I have to adapt to a changing context when the surrounding projects have developed following the new collaborative structure.

A continuous, expansive atrium space forms the heart of the program. designed to maximise flexibility, it will accommodate a growing programme and evolve to meet the educational needs of the architecture and design fields, The studio discs are supported by 350-seat multipurpose lecture hall, library, cafe, gallery, studio critique spaces, classrooms, offices and fabrication labs. the juxtaposed arrangement of the atrium, lecture and studio and fabrication labs inform the massing of the Co-MakerHub, which bridges the institutional and residential scales of its neighbours. The best and west facades of the building features large glazed areas of curtain wall that bring northern light into the studio spaces and fabrication labs and provide panoramic views toward core plaza and the HS2 Station. An ascending sequence of bay windows accommodates lounge areas the cantilever over the promenade.

The hub combines the separate programs at the AMP. provided with the new monorail service, the 100- seat studio creates a new creative hub located within close proximity to research labs, classrooms and offices. The continuous common area in the atrium encourage dialogue between beginning and advanced institutions and across the design disciplines. Faculty and administration studios are located adjacent to eh fabrication labs and studios, encouraging intimate dialogue between the makers, faculty and staff. Continuous sightless thought the atrium of cross-pollination, encourage interdisciplinary discourse, and enhance the sense of peripheral vision for students and faculty.

STUDIO CONTEXT Our studio has taken the stance that ‘automation and robotisation are changing the nature of labour and production, and will change the way people engage with local governance, education and cultural exchange’. The studio has situated itself within theAdvanced Manufacturing Innovation District (AMID)’ , which will link the AMRC, research centre of Sheffield uni with the lower Don Valley corridor. In the AMID vision report, we highlighted the first issue, which is the clear skills gap between the existing population and the “young smart people” they hope to interest isn’t addressed. Second, the vision is lack of civic presence, and lack of a clear strategy for achieving the “sense of place”
5
STUDIO SCENARIO We have developed a studio strategy which positions infrastructural and architectural interventions within AMID over a course of thirty years as an alternative scenario. we also tried to look at David Harvey’s 17 mandates from 17 Contradictions and the End of Capitalism. these help us understand how the AMID could be rooted in the local context and create a sense of place,

INITIAL STUDY AMP currently can reached only by cars and buses. It is highly secured and inaccessible for the public which ignorance of new technology can be easily seen. Technologies and the products also take longer time to be commercialised. A new place in the AMP is required to facilitate more public access, not only to draw a closer skills gap and engage the participation of the public, but also promote the innovation ecosystem of the parties to increasingly brainstorm, collaborate, and new idea. Both internal and external interconnections are vital to stimulate the innovation economy.

SITE- ADVANCED MANUFACTURING PARK (AMP) The site is located at the centre of the AMP. AMP is formed by private and public institutions located at the Rotherham-Sheffield border. In this picture, the area on the top shows the factories and offices completed and being operated currently. Existing residential area is on the right. On the bottom is the AMP expansion land where my site is located. Rolls Royce Blade Casting Factory is next my site.
9
Visual Manifesto The system is no longer powered by capital, instead it is powered by knowledge. Knowledge comes from the institutions. The transports and tracks represent inhabitants route, showing an equal permission to all parts of the society. These tracks potentially collaborate with others. Once the co-learning activated, then the co-production as a result is about to promote the development of industry and the region. PV panels stand for the possible sustainability generated by collaboration (sustainable material and energy).

Transformation of Manufacturing System David Harvey, 17 Contradictions of Capitalism, is about how people is working simply to make the system function without taking what they deserve, the harder they work, the stronger the system grows. He introduces an alternative governance in which necessities like housing is provided directly rather than on the basis of ability to pay and to stop people accumulating money as a form of social power, and people can freely decide what to produce. He also focuses on diversity of life styles and liberation from the rule of experts. All of these manifestos are asking for one thing: work for yourself.

Factory 2050 System In future the factory system in AMP will be different with the emergence of advanced technology. Here I studied the transformation of manufacturing system and I want to introduce the Factory 2050 system, an alternative governance which break down the accumulation capital system. a local base assembly, in which people get to decide their future. the hierarchy of a traditional company would collapse. Instead, we have a collaborative structure and also a intercompany collaboration environment. I also want to introduce citizens into the process that could potentially create a multi-disciplinary co-learning and co-production environment.

A continuous, expansive atrium space forms the heart of the program. designed to maximise flexibility, it will accommodate a growing programme and evolve to meet the educational needs of the architecture and design fields, The studio discs are supported by 350-seat multipurpose lecture hall, library, cafe, gallery, studio critique spaces, classrooms, offices and fabrication labs. the juxtaposed arrangement of the atrium, lecture and studio and fabrication labs inform the massing of the Co-MakerHub, which bridges the institutional and residential scales of its neighbours. The best and west facades of the building features large glazed areas of curtain wall that bring northern light into the studio spaces and fabrication labs and provide panoramic views toward core plaza and the HS2 Station. An ascending sequence of bay windows accommodates lounge areas the cantilever over the promenade.

The hub combines the separate programs at the AMP. provided with the new monorail service, the 100- seat studio creates a new creative hub located within close proximity to research labs, classrooms and offices. The continuous common area in the atrium encourage dialogue between beginning and advanced institutions and across the design disciplines. Faculty and administration studios are located adjacent to eh fabrication labs and studios, encouraging intimate dialogue between the makers, faculty and staff. Continuous sightless thought the atrium of cross-pollination, encourage interdisciplinary discourse, and enhance the sense of peripheral vision for students and faculty.

The detail section cuts through the control room, BCT Lab, classroom and light rail platform. It shows how the advanced manufacturing being shown to the public in a humanised scale. Visitors learn the knowledge here and applied the techniques together with the experts in order to materialised their ideas. Suspended mezzanine floor built by metal grating and the open louvres are designed to offer a semi-opened space for both the users and staffs to communicate and enhance each other’s sense of participation. Prototypes will then be tested at the outdoor. Parts of the heating strategies including the photovoltaic cells in the cushion are shown.

ENTRANCE & THE CORE PLAZA The hub is regarded as the near term critical investment in the district. It serves as the nexus and collaborative common ground for all stakeholders in this industrialisation 4.0 era, but it still requires the coordination of several parties to gather and collaborate to realise the vision, while the public realm strategy has the potential to ignite innovation with and drive AMP’s transition toward a new innovation economy.

Environmental Strategies Timber grid roof with transparent cushion maximise the daylight opportunities and minimise the need of artificial light during day. PV panels embedded inside cushion will absorb the solar heat and transfer to heat energy. Earth tube and mechanical ventilation with Heat Recovery will provide a moderate indoor temperature in summer and winter.
Material Strategies The building will also feature regional and reusable material. Steel and titanium will be sourced from the recycled aerospace element produced in the AMRC Casting and Rolls Royce. Reusable metal powder provided by them are used for the 3D printing in the printing hall. My CMA project shows a prototype of a 3D-printed modular green wall, coated with titanium dioxide that will purify the air pollutants.
