Landscape Architecture Student Portfolio.
Martin Shaw.
Profile. In July of 2013 I graduated from the University of Sheffield, having successfully completed my Landscape Architecture and Ecology undergraduate degree. My focus following this has been on combining the ecological and community elements of design. Many of the projects I have completed, both during my undergraduate degree and in my subsequent employment, have been aimed at educating and having a positive impact on the physical and mental wellbeing of members of society. My aim is to continue to progress within this field, working alongside communities, to create ecologically driven spaces that will benefit those most in need.

Relevant Skills.
My position as Volunteer Leader at Leicester City Council has allowed me to further develop my knowledge and understanding of conservation based tasks, as well as managing and ensuring the safety of volunteers. This, along with my voluntary work teaching children and adults in North Greece has given me the skills and confidence to talk in front of large groups of people of all different nationalities and ages. It has also increased my competency when working as part of a team as I am cooperative, patient and creative. Competent in the use of the Adobe Creative Suite, AutoCAD, VectorWorks, Microsoft Word, Outlook and Powerpoint.
Interests & Achievements.
University of Sheffield Graduate Award- I acquired this through various extracurricular activities I took part in throughout my time at university. This included several sessions through the departments volunteering programme. This included work on The University of Sheffield Belgrave Road Conservation Area and helping low income households with allotment gardens, which involved planting, weeding, and general maintenance of the area.
Being one of only a few students who studied ecology alongside landscape architecture I feel I have a skills set that few graduates possess. This includes a knowledge of sustainability and habitats as well as developing an understanding of the value of wildlife both on the environment and the wellbeing of society.
University of Sheffield Landscape Sports Secretary - Having been voted into this position I became a key member of the committee. My responsibilities included organising and developing football, hockey and running clubs.
Having graduated I began working at Leicester City Council as a Graduate Design Officer. It was here I gained the foundations and confidence to progress in this career. Following 14 months here, I gained employment at Ares Landscape Architects, which presented me with the opportunity of experiencing both the public and private sector.
Performing- I have previously been in bands and have played various venues around the country. During this time we managed to secure a record deal and recorded and released two albums. This experience developed my creativity and confidence when presenting in front of large groups of people.
In September 2016 I returned to Leicester City Council to take up a position that offered me more responsibilty. My role required me to lead projects from concept through to implementation, giving me a vital and thorough understanding of the complete design process.
01.
Travelling - Before I started at Sheffield University I travelled to many parts of the world including India, China and Indonesia, as well as hitch hiking around Europe. In 2015 I spent several months in South America travelling and volunteering. These were great experiences and gave me the opportunity to sample many different cultures as well as making me a more independent, inquisitive individual.

Ecological Design Project. The Brief.
To come up with a design for the derelict site next to Sheaf Square, demonstrating an understanding of the current site and its potential, with particular attention being paid to the Porter Brook corridor as a whole, as well as Sheaf Square. The focus of the design should be based around vegetation, habitats, flood risk, key connections, access, and entrance points.
The Design.
I created a wetland area alongside the Porter Brook to provide flood alleviation, this stretches north to dry meadow. The concept was based around ox bow lakes and included a variety of habitats for a variety of animal species. Connections to the CIQ, and South Street Park at the rear of the train station, were also created.

Abandoned channel
The design included wet and dry meadow, and carr woodland. When the Porter Brook bursts its banks the water would flood the site creating a wetland, providing protection to Sheffield Train Station. A diverse range of plants were selected to attract a variety of target species. These were drawn, in part, from the Sheffield Local Biodiversity Action Plan to fit in with the wider green network and work in conjunction with the aims of the city. Species included birds, bats, amphibians, and insects.

The Brief.
To develop an understanding of planning, designing, and managing landscapes for users needs and desires, as well as providing an understanding of how some groups within society might use, or want to use open space and how communities can be involved in changing those open spaces.
The Design.
Social Aspects.
The site we were allocated was the Beeches Drive Play space. The design began with a meeting with the clients, which was a great experience as I got to take part in the early stages of the process of designing a play space. From the children’s feedback and the current strengths of the site I used the topography and woodland to base my design around this. I brought the woodland out into the site and exaggerated the current topography.
Aims and Objectives. 1. Increase the inclusiveness of the space
-Formal play areas for younger children and informal areas for older children -Provide spaces for adults as well as children -Disabled access
2. Improve children’s psychological well-being
-Rich vegetation throughout site -Rich wildlife throughout site -Locally sourced materials to make children feel more comfortable in their surroundings -Provide a mixture of habitats for biodiversity; woodland, water, marshes, wild and grasses

Advanced Ecological Design and Management. The Brief.
Design a green roof combining an accessible space for public use, along with habitat and bio-diversity enhancing species. To be constructed on a Primary School roof just outside Sheffield city centre.
The Design.
Based around encouraging children outdoors to learn and explore To do this the garden recreates habitats found in national parks. Due to its location particular attention is given to the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales. Having looked at the Sheffield Habitat Action Plan, which is aimed at green roofs, habitats that were present in both were selected: - Lowland Heath- Yorkshire Dales/South Downs - Calcareous Grassland- Peak District- White Peak Limestone - Lowland dry acid grassland- Peak District- Dark Peak- Gristone - Hay Meadow, which is present in the Yorkshire Dales and woodland found in the Peak District is also included. Particular attention has been made to create habitats for butterflies, solitary bees and birds Built structures such as walls and seating are based on materials and structures found within these parks The design creates a formal space where children can be taught and an informal space where wildlife can thrive.

Integrated Design Project. Masterplan. The integrated design project provided an opportunity to develop proposals for an area of urban regeneration from the initial planning strategies through to detailed design, planting and construction. The project is located on the current Castlegate Market site. The joining of The River Don and the River Sheaf was a key element of my design, allowing this area of Sheffield, which has so much potential, to thrive. The concept was based around historic maps of this area, with building sizes and open spaces developed from it. This lead to fine urban grain, with buildings and pathways creating journeys between courtyards.
Strategies.
Public Private River intervention Existing built form Proposed built form Primary pathway Secondary pathway

Buildings and active frontages
As people walk down towards The River Don the vegetation becomes more naturalistic. The design provides a link to Victoria Quays creating an opportunity for the area to fulfil its potential. An overpass to Park Square creates vital transport links to Castlegate.

As summer strikes a sea of blues, lilacs and yellows emerge and cascade down the bank of the river towards the water. The soft form of the ground cover with its understated flowering will complement the bold, bright colours of the perennials as they protrude through. During this time people will be immersed by planting, creating an enclosed space across the boardwalk. Once the perennials have died back and autumn approaches the golden oranges and browns of the deciduous vegetation unfold and the space begins to open up.
Mix C Salix acutifolia ‘Blue Streak’
Viburnum opulus Betula pubescens
The formal vegetation found in the courtyards gives way to an informal more naturalistic approach, as people make their way from the city centre, through the site towards the river. The vegetation at the river’s edge shows a transition from wet to dry conditions. The woodland edge uses eco-toning to merge into a wetland area that leads down to the river. Planting by the riverside creates year round interest with a variety of colours coming through with clump forming evergreen grasses erupting from the soft ground layer creating vertical interest.
Betula pubescens
During the winter months the woody species show off their colours with the warm, fiery glow of the Cornus sanguinea contrasting with the cold blues of the Salix acutifolia.

Leicester City Council A community group based in an area of Leicester called Eyres Monsell secured funding to construct a community garden within their community centre. I was in charge of conducting several consultations with the group to create a design that catered to the needs of the users. Residents were very keen on a circular design so I ensured this became the main concept of the garden. I used three circular bands to create three specific areas. At its centre is a space for standing and sitting, outside of that are raised planters, and finally, allot-
Bloomin’ Eyres Monsell. Community Garden ment style plots. Having finalised the design I oversaw the construction of the project alongside a group of volunteers. I was responsible for organising deliveries, training people on a variety of tools and ensuring the work was completed on time and to a high standard. Together we managed to complete the project over the course of several days. Bloomin’ Eyres Monsell has been an incredible success and continues to provide produce for members of the community.

Bede Park. Bede Park is a green space close to Leicester’s City Centre. Located along part of its boundary was an unused brownfield site, which has since been transformed into an exercise and BBQ area. Given the responsibility of designing the scheme I created 3 clearly defined sections; Parkour, outdoor gym and BBQ. The bold strip of multi-stemmed birch running through its centre creates a screen from those exercising. The gym and parkour areas are busy year-round, with the BBQ area proving incredibly popular throughout the summer months.

Belgrave Hall Kitchen Gardens. Northern Border.
Belgrave Hall is a Grade II listed building in Belgrave, Leicester, with gardens that are open to the public during special events. The Kitchen Garden is a historic element based within the two acres of walled gardens. During my time at Leicester City Council I was commissioned to create a planting plan to return it back to its former state.
The large shrubs and climbers that are currently in the border are to be retained and a mixture of kitchen and medicinal herbs. A variety of plants with edible flowers will be planted around them. The herbs that are over mature will be removed and replaced to rejuvenate the space. Additional climber will also be planted.
The design includes culinary herbs, edible flowers, medicinal herbs, and a small orchard.
The new bed on the opposite side of the path will mirror this scheme, and both will be lined with lavender to create a defined edge.
Southern Border. With the southern border being only around 300mm wide and north facing, plant options are limited. Unfortunately there is not enough room for any trees, or large shrubs. For this reason small herbaceous plants which cope well in shade have been identified. Additional climbers will be planted across the boundary wall to aid the existing screen.
Mini Orchard. The fruit baring trees are to be planted in a line across the west boundary elevation of the green house to retain the maximum space for the event marquee spill out area. They have been planted a sufficient distance away to avoid fruit and sap dropping onto the green house.

Willow Brook.
The aim of this project was to identify potential sites across the length of the Willow Brook that can be used to create public amenity space, increase biodiversity, and quality of water as well as aiding flood relief. This will be done through opening up spaces, re-profiling the banks of the brook, deculverting covered areas and creating habitats alongside it. I created this map to clearly present our intentions for the brook.
