River Don manifesto What does River Don need? Different people have different needs. For animals living in River Don, they need clean water and fresh air. For residents near the River Don, they want a park where they can run and cycling. For kids, they want a land where they can skate and fish. As a designer, I want to the salmon fish back to River Don, because they were residence here for 200 years. Maybe some people think this is a good place to increase tourism income and make some projects that tourists like. The future of River Don largely depends on locals, River Don Trust or funds raised. As designers, we are too small to make decision, but we could draw most of their need. Therefore, the entire design process will combine different people’s need. 2

Case study The barge’s piles can not only bind the ship, but also serve as a space distinction. These woods are made of indigenous materials, low carbon, and environmentally friendly.

PHASE ONE ---CONCEPTS EXPLORATION Fig.25-27
Scenario 1 Through three design scenario, explore which design scenario is more suitable for the development of River Don. The first design plan is a design combining water, bridge and landscape. According to the historical records here, there were a lot of salmon here, so the research theme is to bring back the disappeared salmon READ MORE >
Scenario 2 This design scenario is to use this geometric overall plan for this area, making the salmon farming center, landscape, and salmon education center into an interconnected area.
OOPS! SORRY>
Scenario 3 Considering that Sheffield is called a steel city, I want to make a salmon farming center, and education center by using recycled iron as containers
OOPS! SORRY>
SITE ANALYSIS---SHEFFIELD Fig.28-33
Figure ground Building density around River Don not quiet a lot compared other regions.
Land use Most of buildings near River Don are factories, residential area located in the north and south of Sheffield.
Landscape There are not a lot of Greenland around the SITE which I have chosen to make salmon back. 17
SITE ANALYSIS --- SHEFFIELD
Traffic It is a quiet busy area from live traffic shows on google map.
Public transport Bus stops and trams could reach this area in 5 mins walk. But there are few bicycle route around Site.
Street pattern There are a lot of main road nearby, It is easy to driving through this area. 18
SITE ANALYSIS---SHEFFIELD TO SALMON PASTURES SITE Fig.34-35 ANIMALS AND PLANTS
SALMON PASTURES SITE
Salmon pastures The Salmon pastures located in the east of Sheffield, 2.5 kilometers away from the city center. The name of the salmon pastures suggests that there used to be a lot of salmon. Unfortunately, the salmon here has disappeared because 160 weirs hindered salmon breeding and freely moving ďźŒ alone with water pollution during the Industrial Revolution. After 200 years of river water improvement, salmon reappeared in the River Don. Therefore, history tells people that salmon still like River Don, and it is a feasible plan to bring more salmon back to River Don.

MATERIAL COLLECTIONS
Three ways for salmon to return to River Don
Fig.36
SALMON PASTURES SITE
The first way is to put the log at the weir, and the salmon can slowly jump over, and the log also provides a place for salmon to spawn. The second way is to establish a salmon farming center. It takes two years for the growth of salmon. They should first stay indoor incubation system for 6-8 weeks to grow into young fish, and then move them outdoors to grow for 12 months. The salmon grows and lays eggs at River Don and brings a new life here. The third way is to use stones. The water flow in the River Don is fast and it is difficult for salmon to swim back. By using stones, the flow rate of water can be reduced to help the salmon return.

CONCEPT GENERATION Fig.37 SALMON PASTURES SITE
Land, water and actor‘s relationship If we use points, lines, planes and solid to describe River Don, points can represent residents, such as animals and people. The line can represent the road, and the planes can represent the rivers and grasslands. The solids represent the terrain and sky of the R i v e r Don . T h e y s h o u l d n o t b e separated, they should be intertwined with each other, because water and land, plants and animals, they all live in the same environment. If the surrounding environment improves, the salmon will have chance back to here.

About discovery land This place is called the Discovery land because it can not only play with salmon, but also could lie on the grass under the sun. Open green space, children can play games, arrange their favorite sports, whatever you want, it’s all up to you!
People & salmon
People & Greenland
Open space, waiting for your discovery.
