BA HONS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
PROFILE I am a third-year Landscape Architecture student due to graduate in June 2021. Joining University at a slightly later stage made me confident that landscape architecture is my passion in which I want to proceed and be successful. I am a hard-working, passionate and creative individual with excellent problem-solving, organisational, digital and spatial design skills. I enjoy working on a diverse range of projects, as part of a team and under my own initiative. I am passionate about restoring natural land in development disturbed places, improving climate resilience and decreasing the negative impact on the environment and people well-being, through thoughtful landscape design with adaptation to local site conditions. My designs are driven by emphasizing natural processes, to reveal novel sustainable solutions and achieve greater harmony with the surrounding environment and people's well-being.

1.1. PROJECT REPORT
Design for Regenerative Sustainability: Perceptual Innovation, Health and Wellbeing. Only by understanding that caring for the planet, people caring for themselves; humanity can become o conscious healing force of any environment (Wahl, 2016). Urban expansion and world population are exploding irreversible, followed by the fastest technological development in human history, leading to growing disconnection from nature. This has severe consequences relating to climate change and the quality of human health and wellbeing. Sustainability enjoys great popularity as one of the answers to climate change threats. The sustainable design aims to maintain systems without their degradation except considering the far-reaching effects of healthy human culture, living in harmony with nature. At the same time, regenerative practices apply management techniques to restore the system for long term prosperity and better productivity. My project report analysis reveals the interdependent connection between nature, community, health, wellness and economy, where failure in a single system leads to the deterioration of one another. Well-functioning ecosystems provide us with food security, clean air and water, support the elimination of certain diseases, and stabilise the climate. That is why my thesis state that sustainability is not sufficient as a single goal, and doing less damage is unequal to reverse the negative environmental impact contributed to such a vast scale. To stay responsible and resilient in the face of change, humanity needs a global shift of perception and reaching far beyond sustainable development with awareness of interdependency between man and nature. Regenerative culture focuses on collective economic, environmental, and social evolution by introducing changes in all three sustainable development pillars with a long-term effect. Sustainable, regenerative landscape design in the context of Leeds Innovation District has the opportunity to become an example of a Biophilic city and a welcoming hub empowering social collaboration. Extension of green areas, restoration of natural ecosystems in developed places, and rich biodiversity will improve residents’ health and well-being and raise pro-environmental awareness of the growing graduate society in Leeds. The regenerative vision of the district will also meet all existing challenges of Leeds and provide a strong foundation for a rebalanced circular economy with a strong relationship between community and nature.

1.2 SURVEY & ANALYSIS
- Leeds Innovation District
Supported by personal thesis research CURRENT SITE PROBLEMS • Neighbourhoods of LID divided by Ring-road • Noise, high traffic and pollution levels • Car domination, lack of greenery • High density of car multi-storey car parks • Lack of pedestrian and cyclist connections • No sense of community and lack of community friendly spaces • Dense underground services system limiting planting opportunities
Vegetation & Green space The area has a tiny amount of vegetation and green space, with majority of space being hard surfaces. Of this space large amount are made up of mown grass, often along busy roads.
6.
Build up areas A dense mix of modern and industrial buildings from educational, business and hospital industry. Significant grade listed building within the area
Street scape Series of high traffic streets with domination of one way streets. Ring road dividing neigbourhoods of LID. Lack of Pedestrian crossings and cyclist routes.
Sun Path map Cental area between Nexus and Woodhouse Lane car park as the most sunny open space within LID
1.3. STRATEGYLeeds Innovation District has the opportunity to become thriving green lungs of Leeds and a welcoming hub empowering social collaboration, bringing people closer to nature and raising pro-environmental awareness of the growing graduate society in Leeds. The regenerative approach in the District will meet indicated challenges of Leeds, on social, economic and environmental fields highlighting their interdependence. Significant extension of green areas within the district will increase biodiversity, revive natural ecosystems and enhance thermal comfort leading to improvement of residents health and wellbeing. Such vision will develop a foundation for the rebalanced circular economy, bring new investors and establish the North as a global power with the production of innovative, sustainable ideas by a variety of industries and businesses in Leeds Innovation District.

PEOPLE AND BEHAVIOUR This space is popular and often visited by students, especially in the spring and autumn. On warm sunny days, people like to sit in the Dry Dock beer garden and on the existing slope. Also popular in summer, however, to a lesser extent by students. In the winter time, its purpose serves more as a transition from A to B (Woodhouse lane, Broadcasting place, Multi-storey car park). The path from west to east is most attended, especially as a pas-sage. Due to poor lighting in this area, the place is less frequented after dark due to the risk of crime.

FORUM / EVENT SPACE Visual shows “Heart of the Web”, sculpture covered with solar panels and corten steel that will power street lighting and fountain around the Web. The sculpture was designed to give a floating in the air experience. Its shape is a metaphor between the heart and the geometric shape of a pyramid, reflecting the concept of innovation and the connection between man and nature.
CROSS SECTION S-N The cross-section shows various spaces achieved by creating a green roof canopy above Leeds Inner ring road. That will create an additional district and city connections, limit existing pollution levels, cool the air, and double the space for green infrastructure, which will significantly bring people closer to nature and enrich the area’s biodiversity. In addition, space under the Web offers many opportunities for future development.

2. DESIGN WITH COMMUNITY Live project of Leeds East Academy school grounds As Landscape architect students of Leeds Beckett University, we have worked in a group in correspondence with Leeds East Academy to help better the environment surrounding the school's landscape with an ultimate aim to provide tranquillity for the pupils of LEA. Our work with the client and students took place during the challenging time of lockdown. As a group with the great support of LEA staff, we created online workshops with a compilation of photographs and questions to understand the pupils and client’s needs. Below are the chosen photographs that kids chose as particularly interesting.
Meditate – Dream – Think – Float
Making sounds/wind chimes – Play with colours
Private – Sit down - Relax
Sight – Smell - Touch – Sounds
LEA students expressed several desires. • • • • •
Grass mounds, hammocks, comfy seating. Private, shady space with interesting sounds and smells (flowers) Facilities to grow food and have outdoor education Sounds of water and stepping stones. Area similar to goApe.
Workshop proposals and consultation with the client were the main inspiration to design LEA school grounds to fulfil all student needs and safety. 20.

3.1. SUSTAINABLE DRAINAGE & SCHOOL IRRIGATION SYSTEM Identifying the problem of lack of access to fresh water and electricity on-site, I came with a self-sufficient irrigation system designed to effectively harvest rainwater using the natural landform by guiding the rainwater outflow to specially designed swales. The selection of plant species in swales will allow natural site drainage and rainwater filtration from pollutants and heavy metals collected in a special underground tank with a submersible water pump powered by renewable energy. This simple and relatively cheap system will allow re-use of rainwater for watering plants with optimal use of green technologies.

“A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.”
“The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.”
— Gertrude Jekyll

Designing a practical edible area for outdoor learning need a handful of knowledge and resources. That is why as part of my individual design stage, I decided to create a personalised LEA booklet containing all of the information, useful resources, and guides on building a school edible garden from recyclable materials, a planting calendar, and various school DIY projects proposals. Such a guide will give the school a great starting point for the edible garden journey at relatively minimal costs.

7.1 PLANTING PLAN Visitor Centre of Knaresborough PLANTING DESIGN PURPOSE: • Increase Visitors number and site connection with Ancient forest of Knaresborough • Encourage people to spend more time in green spaces. • Increase bio-diversity, creation of resilent, diverse and sustainable space by further forestisation of the surrounding arable lands and selection of native plants species in the UK. • Providing a high level of genetic diversity and create correct microclimate within all woodland layers, to have the best chance to adapting for climate change . • Reduce flood risk -River Nidd valley slopes control and improving drainage by choosing woodland mixes for wetlands and floodplain areas. • Introducing Green Architecture (wooden sculptures within the site for wildlife resource, improved visual amenity, trees monuments)
Planting plan accurate in 1:500 scale (A1)
37.
7.2 MAINTENANCE PLAN AND STRATEGY Visitor Centre of Knaresborough • WEED CONTROL:Throughout the aftercare period keep all shrub planting areas weed free. For woodland planting keep an area of 1 m. in diameter around each planting station in a weed free condition. This may be achieved by regular cultivation, minimum 3 times in growing season .
• STAKES, TREES, SHRUBS AND TIES: All stakes, trees and shrubs shall be maintained in firm positions .
• REPLACEMENTS: Plants that fail to thrive, are removed, uprooted or destroyed or die during the aftercare period will be replaced with equivalent plants as soon as possible during the following planting season.
• TOP DRESSING: At the commencement of the second growing season apply evenly a general fertiliser with a ratio of 10:6:6 NPK at the rate of 56 gm. over the area of each standard tree pit. Time of year: March or April.
• LOOSE PLANTS: Refirm surrounding soil, without compacting. • THINNING: Most before the canopy closure (5-15years). • PRUNING: Cutting the lover branches of trees will provide greater structural diversity and allowing more light come to a ground level, encouraging field layer vegetation to establish (30%)
• COPPICING : Some stands will have be managed as coppice. Cutting in rotations to maintain structural diversity of the ride and woodland canopy.
• RIDE MAINTENANCE: Shrubs coppicing in rotations along sections of the woodland edge during the winter every 8-20 years, tall herbs every 3-4 years in rotations. Central area of turf moving 1 or 2 times a year. Cutting in Autumn or spring ( Allow plants to set seeds and insects to complete life cycle)
• DEADWOOD: Leaving some of the Deadwood to support a wide range of wildlife species.
• PESTS AND DISEASE CONTROL. • Considering to enriching closed woodland canopy areas with missing key species. • Introducing woodland shade in the stage of closed canopy. • Cut back aggressive species nurture slow growing ones by providing light within canopy .

8. WATERFRONT ACTIVATION Leeds South Bank
Design of the South Bank river Air waterfront activation in Leeds is adapted for people of all ages, cyclists and people with mobility difficulties, including flood control system, appropriate site drainage and natural barriers limiting pollution and noise from surrounding traffic. The idea behind this multi-use city square park is based on geometric lines and include the concept of restoration of the natural shorelines. Photoshop rendered sketch
The site will bring many opportunities for relaxation and recreation and contains various open and enclosed spaces with attractive views. The character of existing buildings within the area will create a good texture and colour relationship with proposed greenery and implementations. Designed space is well connected with the South bank, new proposed pedestrian bridge and the Northside of Leeds. The area is divided into a waterfront activation boardwalk, picnic and play area, water park and beer garden of Old Red Lion pub.

9. INTERDISCIPLINARY PROJECT Holbeck Vision Working together with third-year students of Urban planning, Architecture and Interior design, we had been given a task to produce a visionary masterplan for the Holbeck area in Leeds in the very short deadline of three days. As a Landscape architect, my contribution to the project was gathering site analysis data, producing a connection plan, concept plan and public realm masterplan. The time of the project took place in the challenging time of the COVID-19 pandemic, and instead of working together in the studio, we had been in constant contact through Zoom and Microsoft teams. As the short deadline was very stressful for us, our communication, and work organisation went very smooth, receiving one of the best feedback through all the groups during the final presentation.
THE VISION FOR THE FUTURE OF THE AREA IS: • To improve connectivity between the city centre and the surrounding communities of Holbeck • Create new opportunities for employment, living and leisure. • To establish a new creative quarter focused on new media and digital technologies that will strengthen Leeds as a regional business centre • To preserve the area’s unique character, combining the architectural legacy with new high quality and contemporary design • To create a mixed use, sustainable community with a distinctive sense of place, which exemplifies best practice in urban regeneration and sustainable development
