[ Architectural Design Studio Academic Year 2017/2018 ] Intergenerational The Hydro Link Architecture Studio Location | Rotherham Tutor | Satwinder Samra
Brief
Studio intergenerational architecture investigates how we can design and evolve appropriate architectural responses for our current and future intergenerational demographic. This includes identifying and interrogating the environments for play learning, living, social interaction, healthcare and civic amenity. The studio also explores the inevitable environments that exists for the old and young and the fundamental nature of communication gap between generation along with the development of technology. How can our environment be improved to achieve a coherent, vibrant, productive and ageless society?
Located in Rotherham on the River Don, adjacent to the forge island, the Hydro-Link is a hydro power Station that includes hydrotherapy, co learning community hub, with recreational activities and educational facility, to improve the body & mind of people in Rotherham. The project has explored how hybrid architecture can function as a “prosthesis” that integrated with Rotherham’s existing masterplan to repair, connect and enhance to encourage more social interaction and well-being lifestyle while supporting the coexistence of different function and facility on a single urban site. The project also shapes Rotherham’s sustainable energy ambition for the good of the community and encourage positive change in people’s attitudes towards energy production and natural environment.
In today’s digital age, technology has become a prosthesis of our body, extending and shifting the way we work, live, play, perceive and communicate. The communication gap has become an intergenerational issue. Rather than on internet, we need more mutual understand to share ideas and skills throughout different generation to achieve a cohesive society.

Exposed Steel
Steel TATA steel Rotherham, is only located 3miles away, which can significantly reduce the carbon emission due to the transportation of material. As the concept of the project is a showcase of technology, using the local steel manufacturing can represent a local meaning in the design. The proposed structure can allow larger span as well as fast-track construction to minimize the impact on site. Reflection How can the megastructure provide a large open space that benefits therapy and community event? As the design’s decision is to make the structural frame as the façade. Therefore, the engineering aspect is worth to be analysed.
Precast concrete

Collaborative Production Studio Community Incubator Brief
Studio: Collaborative Production 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 the area what hopes to be ‘the UK’s first Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District (AMID)’ which will link the University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) with the lower Don Valley corridor. Their idea was to propose a high density mix used district to further connect Rotherham, Sheffield and Waverly for economic activity and economic growth. In analysing it as a studio, we found certain issues which are not addressed. We are to counter-propose a scheme to support a vibrant, social dynamic and productive city.
Location | Attercliffe, Sheffield Tutor | Dan Jary New technology, such as 3 D printing can transform the supply chain of the old production system. Perhaps in the future, the use of robotization and automation can reduce the technical division of labour and resolve current globalized issues. The design is to create a hybrid of open research facility and a fab lab center to attract people in different region to Attercliffe, and incubate a high tech maker community in the future that response to the David Harvey’s theory as follow: ‘The class opposition between capital and labour is dissolved into associated producers freely deciding on what, and when they will produce regarding the fulfilment of common social needs. A new mean of exchange is created that facilitates the circulation of goods and services.’

lIVE PROJECT sELF bUILD hOUSING Brief | ARCHITYPE
RUSS Live is a collaborative project between Rural Urban Synthesis Society, Architype and Sheffield School of Architecture. RUSS is a community land trust who aim to provide an answer to the housing crisis by providing affordable self-build mass housing at an urban scale. We worked alongside their appointed architects on their affordable and sustainable self-build housing project in London. They have employed Architype to design their housing scheme of 37 dwellings. The RUSS self-build model allows reduced housing costs in exchange for Sweat Equity, and ensures homes remain affordable.
Design | SIP
The design proposal deals with the many constraints of the site to form a ribbon of 4 storey plots, which are split into bays for each dwelling. We have been working alongside Architype to provide research, and design self-build construction methods for a mass housing scale. Ideally these outputs would also be used as educational tools for future RUSS community led housing workshops.
As a team we decided to explore an option where the initial structural frame was built by a contractor, providing a sheltered environment that could be handed over to the residents to complete. Once handed over it allowed the self builders to work together on various elements and stages of the project.We decided to design an insulated infill panels system that would enable the residents to build the front and rear elevations of their homes. We focused on a single bay to design a modular system that could be
Location | Church Grove, Lewisham, London Client | Rural Urban Synthesis Society Mentor | Mark R Parsons, University of Sheffield An extensive set of outputs has been produced that balance the interests of all stakeholders. These are a resource for now and the future. We created a pack of five documents, each containing a different element of our research and design. From analysis of the project, and precedent and material research to strategic construction proposals and a step-by-step construction manual. Further to our written outputs we have proposed a series of legacy projects. These are engaging activities for the next stages of the co-design process. These will help the residents to understand and interact with the design development of the homes they are going to build. RUSS can use the following outcomes in their co-design workshops with residents to further discuss the building design. The 1:1 panel model is a prototype to understand the process of construction and inform our assembly guide. The 1:20 model is a multi-use tool for educational purposes, gaining funding and faรงade design. And a 1:500 site model explores massing and phasing options, and the relationship with the wider built community.

Scarborough Fish Brief | Stay
The brief is to design a place to stay with experience of activities driven by context. In order to generate activities, the place to stay should have a program such as sailing, cycling, food and photography, etc. The type of stay can be a hotel, hostel, refuge, lodging house, etc.
Design | Linearity
The design focuses on the linearity of the site, which has an extended pier with overwater accommodation to take advantages of the site . The design uses various material, for example timber cladding on one side of the main building , zinc cladding on top while in-situ concrete with timber plank texture at the base and smooth precast concrete panel cladding on top.
Market Location | Scarborough Tutor | Oliver Cunningham
Scarborough is a town located on North Sea coast of North Yorkshire, UK It has a rich history of industrial fishing and the water edge has been a great attraction to make Scarborough a tourist destination. The site, west pier, is a large open area closed to the South Bay beach and mainly being used by the fishing industry and part of area is currently used as a carpark. The working harbor is used by fishing and passenger vessels. It is located right opposite to the high street where full of shop, cafes and restaurants. However, the west pier seems disjoint from the town center.
