“

As a studio we are interested in exploring how urban infrastructure and architecture can be designed to respond to the climate crisis using the three key actions set out by the Architect’s Declare: ‘de-growth’, ‘time’ and ‘participation & collaboration’.

It is clear that we are in the midst of a huge environmental crisis. Across the world extreme weather events are occurring with more and more frequency. In just the past year we have seen the world reach it’s highest temperature on record, the lowest- recorded sea ice levels in the Arctic; the Amazon rainforest experience the worst fire in recorded history and Australia has seen it’s worst bush fires while Venice saw a record level of flooding. What’s concerning is this is just naming a few of the costly and life consuming disasters that have occurred.

With temperatures, and consequently sea levels rising, the risk of these extreme events occurring more frequently is increasing. In May 2019, the UN released a report which stated that as a consequence of the pollution and carbon emissions produced by human activity, one million plant and animal species are now at risk of extinction. We, therefore, cannot afford to continue to act the way we are and this is beginning to be recognised.

Founding Signatories

Time

In May 2019 17 architecture studios all signed a declaration to pledge for collective action towards the climate and biodiversity emergencies. Since then they have gained 947 signatures. With the built environment currently accounting for 40 percent of the UK’s carbon emissions, as a sector it could make a huge positive impact if it makes a greater effort to change to a more sustainable approach.

As a studio we are curious as to what role the architect can play and intend to propose a design intervention that seeks to respond to the climate crisis in some way using the three key actions set out by the Architect’s Declare as a starting point.

Exploring how urban infrastructure and architecture can be designed to respond to the climate crisis using the 3 key actions set out by the Architect’s Declare:

STUDIO FAULKNER BROWNS - CARBON FOOTPRINT

Our first task was to look at our carbon footprint and compare our calculations from September 2017-2018 and 20182019.

Newcastle Home: 29%

I was on my year out in 2017-18 living in London. I used the tube everyday for work and socialised and ate out a lot. I also travelled quite a bit and was living in a property where the lights and heating seemed to be constantly on, so I expected my carbon footprint to be relatively high.

It came out as 122%.

For 2018-19, however, I was living in Gateshead, studying at Newcastle, so was conscious to keep to a tighter budget. This meant I walked where possible or took the metro. Being on a student budget, I wrarely ate out and the heating in the house was hardly ever on. I, thought that my carbon footprint would be relatively good. However, I was horrified to discover that my carbon footprint was still 103% which is equivalent of 10.3tonnes!

Admittedly, I did go on a long haul flight to Mexico and have had to commute to and from London once a month so I thought that travel must be where the largest percentage of my carbon footprint must lie. But on analysing the breakdown of the calculations it became apparent that it was in fact the ‘stuff ’ category that accrued the largest impact accounting for 35% which consisted of tech and fashion.

Total =103% 10.3 tonnes

Travel: 11%

Stuff: 35%

Food: 25%

London

I decided to sew my carbon footprint onto an old pillow case as a representation technique that simultaneously reduced my waste through reusing. I have never really sewn before so it was a skill I have found useful to learn and found the process of sewing, whilst time consuming, to be very therapeutic. I found the end result to be far more satisfying than the paper drawing, with the stitches giving it a depth, texture and tactile quality which enrichened the piece.

Total = 128% 12.7 tonnes Home: 34%

My consumption of ‘stuff ’ was equal to 3 medium haul flights, which is based on flights longer than 5000km. What’s made me feel worse was that despite being a considerably higher percentage than I was expecting I was still well below the national average.

Travel: 19%

This got me thinking much more deeply about the whole consumer driven economy and the negative impact that buying so much ‘stuff ’ has on our planet, and what could be done differently to be more sustainable.

Stuff: 22%

Food: 25%

I equally liked the effect of the messy lines created on the back of the piece as I felt it was an accurate representation of how I thought my carbon footprint was relatively clean but the reality was far different once I looked.

MY FOCUS

In addition to looking at the impact of the built environment, I am also keen to address the impact of the fashion industry.

How we live is having a huge impact on the environment and ultimately every aspect needs addressing. However, the impact of the clothes we wear has gone relatively untalked about until very recently, despite fashion being the second largest polluting industry in the world.

I have, therefore, been exploring with an attitude towards urbanisation:

“How can we continue to mend and develop our cities in a sustainable way with a cor agenda of simultaneously trying to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry?�

Architecture

Fashion

Environment

From my initial research I proceeded by proposing two key ways that this can be carried out.

One way addresses transparency, looking into the creation of fabrics from an organic and sustainable local source, which would benefit both the fashion and construction industries equally.

How can all three work together to improve and benefit each other?

The second way looks at what we can do with the waste that we already have. With 300,000 tonnes of textile waste going into the landfill every year just in the UK alone, I believe this is a vital aspect to the project.

In an attempt to reduce my personal carbon footprint I have focussed on the city of Newcastle to host this site.

RESEARCH

BEHIND THE SEAMS -

ARCHITECTURE -

‘Buildings account for around 35% of resources, 40% of energy use, consume 12% of the world’s drinkable water and produce almost 40% of global carbon emissions” (Saint Gobain, 2017) .

This impact comes from every stage from construction, through to use and ultimately the end of the building’s life.

To be more sustainable, we should aim to reduce the environmental impact of the building at every stage of its life cycle. But what can be done practically?

A good start is to use more sustainable, naural and renewable building materials.

“According to the USGBC, 40% of the world’s raw materials are used in the construction of buildings” and many materials currently used are a finite resource. Alternatively, using reclaimed and recycled materials is also advisable as the majority of waste produced from construction and demolition currently goes straight to landfill.

SUSTAINABILITY

Bloomberg HQ, London

World’s most sustainable office building, achieving the highest ever BREEAM rating of 98.5%.

The following six principles are recommended when approaching the design of a green building.

London

Carbon neutral, constructed from nearly all locally sourced materials including wool insulation.

Dalby Forest Visitor Centre,

Eden Foundation Building,

The whole building can be recycled at the end of its life.

Recycling is at its core, with old newspapers used in the walls, roof and floors, making it one of the best insulated buildings.

North Yorkshire

Building surveyor William Stanwix and Founder and MD of UK Hempcrete, Alex Sparrow, believe that “using materials with a much lower environmental impact is crucial to reducing environmental damage and resource consumption.”

(Stanwix & Sparrow, Pg7) How a building is designed and constructed has major implications in relation to its long term impact, affecting areas such as indoor air quality and the amount of energy to light and heat a building over its lifetime, as well as its ‘end-of-life’ material reuse.

RSPB Environment & Education Centre,

Waitrose Stratford City, London

The first retail store to receive a BREEAM outstanding rating.

Six Principles to aim for to achieve green building:

Sustainable Materials

Energy Use & Systems

Natural and renewable materials or reclaimed and recycled materials ideally obtained locally. Consider the thermal mass of the material when picking.

Using passive solar design, energyefficient lighting, low energy appliances and renewable energy technologies where still needed.

Water Management

Indoor Environment Quality

Use water efficiently and re-use and recycle on site where possible.

Maximise daylight, appropriate ventilation and moisture control, optimised acoustic performance and avoid high-VOC materials.

SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIAL - HEMPCRETE

Benefits of Hempcrete:

Hempcrete is a non-load-bearing composite building material consisting of hemp shivs, a lime-based binder and water.

1

Low- embodiedenergy

The hemp plant sequesters over 15 tons of carbon while growing, which gets locked up in the building fabric

Adnams Brewery in Suffolk has managed to save over 500 tons of CO2 as a result of being a hempcrete construction.

2

Thermally Efficient

Great insulator

Furthermore, industrial hemp plants, from which the hemp shivs are derived, can be grown locally, reducing the amount of transportation required.

3

Breathable

Building surveyor William Stanwix and founder and MD of ‘Hempcrete UK believes that: “Designing and building with hempcrete is a real demonstration of a total commitment to ‘saving the planet’ and protecting the health and well-being of a building’s occupants.”

Hempcrete regulates humidity levels, as it is permeable to moisture vapour, making it resistant to mold and creates excellent indoor air quality. While it is naturally porous, it has good levels of airtightness

4

Non-toxic

Made up of natural materials requiring no chemicals, creating a healthy environment for the users.

5

Fireproof

If burnt produces char and does not propagate flames

6

Lightweight

Requires methods

7

Compostable

Can be broken down, composted and used as an organic additive to improve soil conditions rather than going to landfill.

8

Good Acoustic Insulation

High absorber of sound

9

Local

Hemp can be grown in a multiple parts of the world, including the UK.

“Hempcrete is unique among natural sustainable materials in offering a substantial degree of insulation combined with a good amount of thermal mass.”

(Stanwix & Sparrow, Pg 63)

“Hempcrete provides a natural, healthy, sustainable, local, low-embodied-energy building material that can truly claim to be better than zero carbon.”

(Stanwix & Sparrow, P9)

SUSTAINABLE BUILDING MATERIAL - HEMPCRETE

Hempcrete is created by wet mixing the three components and then casting into moulds. This can either be done off site to make pre-cast bricks or panels, or it can be mixed on-site and cast in-situ directly around the structural frame in one of two methods (placed or sprayed). “This forms a non-load bearing, sustainable, ‘breathable’ (vapour permeable) and insulating material that can be used to form walls, floor slabs, ceilings and roof insulation in both new build and restoration projects.” (Stanwix & Sparrow, Pg 23)

Hemp Shiv

Lime Binder

Water

Hempcrete is a particularly attractive option for self-builders due to its relatively low-tech construction methods. It has also proved to be a commercially viable construction material, which is gaining more and more traction, in line with the growing interest for using more natural and environmentally friendly methods of construction.

Construction of hempcrete is relatively low-tech but it is labour intensive.

In terms of cost, it is very similar to conventional building materials, potentially costing a little more initially in some cases. However, the cost is justified environmentally and long term running cost wise with the energy saved through the building’s life, commonly resulting in cost savings overall.

Mix Together

Material costs can be cheaper given hempcretes thermal insualtion properties requiring no further insulation to be installed for walls typically 300400mm thick.

FASHION INDUSTRY - PRODUCTION

The fashion industry is claimed to be the second largest polluter in the world, after the oil industry. Teh fashion industry consumes over 1.2 trillion litres of water annually, with textile production accounting for approximately 1.2 billion tonnes of CO2 every year. It, therefore, is unsurprising that the “UN states that the fashion industry consumes more energy than the aviation and shipping industry combined” and that something needs to be done to change this. If all that wasn’t enough, with the rise of fast fashion, we are burning through clothes like no tomorrow with “the average person buy[ing] 60 percent more items of clothing than they did just fifteen years ago, and keeps them for about half as long.” What makes this even worse is that only 15% of our clothes are currently recycled or donated, with over 300,000 tonnes of clothes annually sent to the landfill in the UK alone. With global clothing consumption predicted to rise by 63% by 2030, the negative environmental impact globally from retail fashion will be considerably worse unless we do something about it now.

EXTRACTION

In an attempt to understand the fashion industry better, I mapped out the lifecycle of two of the most common items of clothing found in our wardrobes: the t-shirt and a pair of jeans. To analyse two different production routes, I opted to analyse both a natural fibre, in this case cotton, and a man-made fibre, in this case polyester to highlight the differences in the processes.

The processing and discarding of our clothes are not the only ways we harm the environment, How we clean our clothes also has a detrimental impact. “Every time we wash a synthetic garment (polyester, nylon etc.), about 1,900 individual microfibres are released into the water, making their way into our oceans.” We are in fact creating plastic waste before we’ve even discarded the item.

One of the biggest issues about the fashion industry today is the lack of awareness we have of what really goes on in making our clothes. Through the industrial revolution and the rise of fast fashion, we have become completely detached from the whole process and consequently value our clothes purely on their price tags. The impact of producing a top that only costs £5 may be kind on our purses but costs the environment and our societies considerably more. Making the fashion industry more transparent is key to creating a cultural shift towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable future.

TRANSPARENCY

I produced two graphics to illustrate the stages of production that are involved in making the clothes we wear.

The first graphic was looking at the production of the polyester t-shirt.

I produced a series of eight t-shirt shaped images that show the different processes involved at each stage of the production.

The eight stages represented are: 1. Extraction and Refining 2. Yarn Production 3. Fabric Production 4. Pattern Cutting 5. Sewing 6. Printing and Embellishing 7. Retail, Use and End-of-life 8. Plain white t-shirt that we as consumers buy I then proceeded to layer each of the images up to represent how each process contributes to the final product: It was interesting that only the ‘retail, use and end-of-life’ image was really visible with hints of the t-shirt ‘printing and embellishing’ stage peaking through’, as this is the main stage that we as the consumer are conscious of and have an idea about what goes on. As for the five stages that take place prior to these that actually involve the creation of the t-shirt we wear, they go unseen and are relatively unknown.

TRANSPARENCY

Visualising the production of a pair of jeans.

Following the same approach used for the t-shit, I produced a series of eight jeans shaped images that visualised the different processes involved at each stage of the production.

For the cotton jeans, the eight stages represented are: 1. Growing and Harvesting 2. Ginning 3. Carding and Spinning 4. Weaving 5. Dyeing 6. Pattern Cutting and Sewing 7. Finishes 8. Retail, Use and End-of-life For the jeans, I similiarly proceeded to layer each of the images up to represent how each process contributes to the final product.

Once again, as with the t-shirt, only the ‘retail, use and end-of-life’ image were really visible, with the other seven stages going unseen. This is an accurate representation of our knowledge and shows just how much more there is to know.

My conclusion from these two graphic is that this project should, therefore, aim to improve people’s awareness of what really goes into making our clothes by making the whole process more transparent to the consumer.

ROLE OF THE DESIGNER

While it is important to be aware of the processes that take place, the next step in creating a positive change is actually adopting more ethical and environmentally friendly approaches towards fashion.

We need more designers to start thinking and acting this way to have a larger positive impact.

The research and innovation into finding new materials for the fashion industry that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly is opening up more and more opportunities for designers to create more sustainable, ethical designs.

Fashion designers, much like architects, need to start leading by example, pushing and promoting more environmentally friendly designs. For mass market retail clotehs, this is especially needed as so much high street fashion filters down from the catwalks.

Here are two top fashion designers who have been actively promoting sustainability in their collections for many years. Both have been very vocal in explaining why they feel it is so important to do so as an industry.

Seacell,

Stella McCartney

Vivienne Westwood

Stella McCartney has a whole section on her brand’s website devoted to sustainability.

The company’s mission statement reads: “We are agents of change. We challenge and push boundaries to make luxurious products in a way that is fit for the world we live in today and the future: beautiful and sustainable. No compromises.

Known for her modern punk style, she is also a pioneer of sustainable fashion stating on her brand’s website: “We use our collections, collaborations and catwalk shows as a platform to capture the imagination, promote innovative design and campaign for protecting life on Mother Earth, Gaia.

We strive to make our clothes with greater care, promote Arts & Culture and always use our voice to mobilise people around Climate Change and Human Rights.”

Each decision we make is a symbol of our commitment to defining what the future of fashion looks like. From never using leather or fur and pioneering new alternative materials to utilising cutting edge technologies, pushing towards circularity, protecting ancient and endangered forests and measuring our impact with ground-breaking tools.”

For almost 20 years, Stella McCartney has been designing and producing ethical fashion: “There’s $500 billion worth of waste in the fashion industry every year, and that, to me, is a business opportunity,” she says. “The next generation will look at all this waste and say, ‘Let’s create something new out of it.’ That’s going to be the next exciting thing.” (Emily Farra, Vogue)

“Over time, her commitment has intensified, to the point where today she is just as well known for her historically inspired collections as for her ecological militancy. One of her best-known slogans, “Buy less, choose well, make it last,” calls for balanced consumption, whether of fashion or any other resources.

Practising what she preaches, Westwood is herself setting an example by slowly transforming her brand via the use of recycled or eco-friendly fabrics and environmentally sustainable production methods.” (Lea Zetlaoui, Numero)

FASHION REVOLUTION

It is fantastic to see that research is being done into exploring potential new fashion paths. However, it is vital that we start making practical changes outside of the lab, ideally on a mass market scale, and right away.

In order to do this we need to get consumers on board . I strongly believe that making the fashion industry more transparent is key to creating a cultural shift towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable future. And I’m not alone in thinking this, with authors Dana Thomas, Clare Press, Lauren Bravo and Tyler Little all claiming the same thing, to name just a few.

Encouraginly, recent studies show that 66% of global consumers reported that they were willing to pay more for sustainable goods, with 73% of millennials stating they would do so. The socioeconomic desire to shift towards having a more sustainable fashion industry is growing stronger.

A large proportion of this growing momentum is thanks to two women, Orsola de Castro and Carry Somers.

They began in 2013 with the campaign “Who Made My Clothes?’ in response to the devastating collapse of the Rana Plaza factory in Bangladesh. The Rana Plaza disaster is the worst event to occur in fashion history, taking 1134 lives and injuring a further 2500. The aim of the campaign was to get people to think about the lives of the people who make our clothes and the time they take making them. This campaign started in England but soon went global and now has participation in over 100 countries.

This has since led Orsola and Carry to build the global movement ‘Fashion Revolution’ which is trying “to unite people and organisations to work together towards radically changing the way our clothes are sourced, produced and consumed, so that our clothing is made in a safe, clean and fair way.”

Who Made Your Clothes?

FASHION REVOLUTION

Thanks to movements like the fashion revolution, bold moves like the ‘no photoshoot’ issue by Italian Vogue and the voices of celebrities such as Emma Watson and Livia Firth, with each year that goes by more and more people are becoming aware of the issues and the need to change our approach to fashion.

This is so important for not just getting the message out, but because it targets one of the most influential bodies in making a change - the consumer.

Consumers have considerable power over brands and buying behaviours. Even stronger now with the power of social media. If we don’t buy something, then manufacturers will refuse to make it and designers are forced to produce alternative designs. Likewise, if we keep demanding a certain level of treatment, with enough voices it won’t be long before they finally have to be listened to. How we decide to shop and care for our clothes also makes a massive impact.

So while I encourage every celebrity, advertiser and person within the industry to dance, scream and shout about the issues of the fashion industry. I’d like to explore how our cities can help educate the consumers to encourage a cultural shift among the masses.

We all have a part to play in the Fashion Revolution!

A lot of consumers listen to celebrities.

Admittedly more often than not this because they want to be seen to be like them rather than believing in every word themselves. But what if celebrities used their position to encourage adopting good practices?

“The GCC is a sophisticated initiative that pairs glamour with ethics, serving to raise the profile of a brand on red carpets around the world, putting sustainability in the spotlight underpinned by digital disruption. The GCC was launched in 2010, when Livia walked the awards season red carpet in sustainable gowns. “I wanted to use the fact that I was going to be walking those red carpets next to Colin to campaign about environmental and social justice issues through my gown,” Livia says.

Since then, the GCC has grown exponentially to include world famous designers and celebrities, all unitied in highlighting sustainable fashion and methods.” (Eco-Age)

Magazines originally were illustrated, but with the development of camera technology, photoshoots soon began to populate the pages.

Today the majority of us will flick through the images admiring them but do not stop to think what producing that photo actually required.

This issue aimed to highlight the environmental impact photoshoots have by producing a ‘no photoshoot’ issue.

A number of celebrities already are with Emma Watson being one of the top supporters and promoters for fair trade in the fashion industry. She stands as the UN Women Goodwill Ambassador and is a key advocate for ‘Eco-Age’ set up by Livia Firth.

“We’re buying five times more than we did in the 1980’s”

In the 1960s, Mary Quant and Biba were key in influencing and promoting the fast fashion trend which appeared with the dawn of the industrial revolution. They enabled people to order affordable items and receive them quickly. This concept has developed and is still very much around today and has led to a large amount of the environmental issues of the fashion industry.

However, when it started these brands were about giving women a freedom enabling women from all walks of life to have fun and enjoyment with the clothes they wear.

The introduction of online shopping has completely transformed how we shop and is a real threat to physical stores. One can understand the appeal; there are no crowds of people to push through, nor is there a store closing time. Instead you can buy to your hearts content from the comfort of your own sofa, or even while you’re on the go. The items are shipped directly to your door, now often free of charge. So what’s not to love?

But shopping surely can’t come to an end entirely in a physical sense within our cities? So what is the ‘Next Big Thing’ going to be?

It is also important to be aware of how different consumers approach shopping in order to best design a space to positively engage the greatest number of people.

c. 7 B.C.E - Retail shops invented

People are shopping more than ever, yet our retail stores are suffering greatly and under threat.

It is, therefore, important to understand how people shop, looking not just at how they do so today, but how shopping has changed over time, in an attempt to highlight any consistently important aspects to the shopping experience.

Harry Selfridge transformed the shopping experience in 1908 for women in particular, by introducing the powder room to the department store. This meant that women could now spend all day shopping if they desired as they were no longer restricted by their bladders.

BEHIND THE SEAMS - BRINGING FASHION & TEXTILE PRODUCTION BACK TO THE LOCAL

I’d like to bring industry back closer to home, closing the gap between industry and the consumer.

Lorenzetti’s painting was used as an example by Carolyn Steel in her talk on Sitopia to show the divide between the city and agriculture.

People have demanded to know what it is they’re eating and where it comes from for years now, growing in force year on year. As a result, there are now many examples of inner-city farming to try and reduce the environmental impact of the food industry and help people connect with the food they eat.

If we can do this with food, why aren’t we doing this for fashion?

Almost every part of our lives is touched by textiles, even the way we speak, as highlighted

by Kassia St Clair in the Golden Thread. It is a fundamental part of our global history, cultures and societies, yet we seem not to consider it as important to question. One could argue that food is vital to survival as it nourishes us, yet without textiles and clothes we could not protect ourselves from the elements.

Furthermore, we are in fact affecting the food we eat as a result of the fashion industry and our consumer behaviours. Everytime you wash a synthetic piece of clothing, (e.g a polyester t-shirt,) 1900 individual microplastics are released into the ocean, which fish ingest and consequently as do we also when they end up on our plates.

This thesis isn’t about telling us what we can and can’t do, but rather it’s about educating us as consumers to become more aware, in the hope of creating a cultural shift towards a more conscious consumer future.

Knowing what is going on is key to creating awareness and happily there is a growing movement fighting for this. However, those participating in these movements tend to be people who are already aware, up to a point. It is just as important, if not more so, to try and educate those who haven’t given it a moment’s thought. To do this it is something that ideally should inhabit their daily lives and routines and ultimately be seen as an experience that benefits them initially to draw them in. One can then hope that what they see has a positive effect on how they want to go on to consuming.

I’d like to blur the lines between the fashion industry and the consumer by bringing it into the city. I believe that transparency, combined with an understanding and a greater appreciation of how our clothes are made is key to creating a cultural shift among consumers.

Cotton mills were in the heart of Manchester and wool mills still exist in Leicester, so it is certainly possible. With the death of the high street looming, this could pose a perfect opportunity to revitalise the hearts of our towns and cities.

SUSTAINABLE TEXTILES - HEMP

Benefits of Hemp over cotton:

Hemp is arguably one of the most sustainable resources we have. It can be “found across the world, and has a long history of widespread use for a range of important products: hemp seeds for oils and resin, fuel, medicines and cosmetics; hemp fibre for hard-wearing clothing, rope and tough fabrics such as sail cloth (the word canvas derives from cannabis: literally - originally- ‘a fabric made from hemp’, and as a pulp from which to make paper.” (Stanwix and Sparrow, Pg16) Furthermore, up until the 1920’s 80% of our clothes were made from hemp.

Hemp is a fast growing, annual crop plant, reaching heights of between 1.54m in as little as 14 weeks. It requires no pesticides, little fertiliser, has deep roots protecting the top soil and gives back 6070% of its nutrients, replenishing the soil, so making it an excellent and profitable rotation crop, as well as crop in its own right. “Some research has shown up to 20 percent higher yields for wheat when it is planted in rotation with hemp.” (Burgess, P158). Therefore, hemp is not just a source of food itself but it can also help boost other crop yields.

The bast fibres can be found in the ‘bark’ of the woody stem, while the shivs make up the inner part of the stem. It is, therefore, possible to produce both fabric and hempcrete from the same plant using up 90% of the plant. The remaining 10% consits of 7% fines, which are small pieces of bast fibres and can go into consumer goods such as mattresses, and the the other 3% is dust which can be used as an ingredient in fishing bait. So with procedures in place it is possible for the entire plant to be used and no waste to be created.

“Hemp is the only plant that can feed you, clothe you, house you and heal you.”

1

Fast Growing

Takes around 3-4 months to grow ( much faster than trees and cotton). It is, therefore, possible to get 3 crops a year from one piece of land, although two crops is more realistic as while it is relatively frost tolerant as a seedling it prefers a mild climate to reach it’s best quality.

2

No-Pesticides

Naturally weed resistant.

One of the reasons it is such a good rotation crop and it prepares and replenishes the soil.

3

Little Water Requirement

10x stronger than cotton as a fibre meaning it lasts longer. It is stronger, lighter and more durable than a lot of woods and when made into paper it can be recycled up to 8 times rather than just the 3 times from tree based paper.

4

Highly Durable

Made up of natural materials requiering no chemicals creating a healthy environment for the users.

5

Renewable

Hemp can be recycled and go back into the soil as an additive.

ZERO WASTE

Hemp not only gives back to the environment and is zero carbon but can benefit both the architectural and fashion industries.

“

Both hempcrete and hemp fabric can be achieved from the same crop, as in obtaining the hemp shivs for making hempcrete, the hemp fibres are a by product which are what is required for making hemp fabric. Therefore, if we introduce a greater hempcrete building industry it makes sense to integrate a fabric industry to improve the fashion industry’s environmental impact simultaneously.

HEMP FABRIC -

SUSTAINABLE REPLACEMENT FOR CALICO

Fashion designers make toiles, which are mock up garments, using a material called calico, before making the real garment. Calico, however, being made from unfinished cotton has a high environmental impact. Producing cotton is a highly water-intensive process and requires a vast amount of pesticides while growing which damages the soil and pollutes the waters. Furthermore, as cotton can’t be grown in the UK, it has to be imported. Typically this is from the otherside of the world having already been shipped around during processing.

In Newcastle there is the Northumbria University Fashion Department, which is one of the best in the country. On average the school gets through approximately 3100m of 145cm wide calico per year.

I’d like to propose an inner-city production of hemp fabric to provide the university with hemp fabric to replace the use of calico as a first step in reducing the fashion industry’s environmental impact.

The use already exists and there is a desire from the university’s department to be as sustainable and ethical as possible.

By using locally sourced and produced organic hemp fabric as an alternative to the calico enables the department to take another step towards become as sustainable as possible.

While this project is focussing in on Newcastle, it is worth considering that there are currently 113 fashion and textile courses across the UK. If each course was to move away from using calico towards home grown hemp fabric instead this would reduce a significant proportion of the fashion industry’s carbon footprint, whilst also providing the key raw material for hempcrete which can be used in construction. Read on to find out more.

HEMP FABRIC -

SCALE OF PRODUCTION

Looking at the numbers.

On average one can expect to produce two tonnes of hemp from an acre of land.

This should provide a yield of at least 150kg of textile fibres, which in turn produces 73kg of yarn. The same acre will also produce 200kg of shorter tow fibres, suitable for geotextiles or paper, as well as 1000kg of hemp shivs, which can be used for making hempcrete.

Note that these numbers are based on a conservative prediction, so volumes could be higher depending on crop yield and the percentage loss in processing the fibres.

73kg of yarn can produce 182m2 of fabric, which equates to 440 rolls of 100m(l) x1.5m(w) fabric. Note that the roll length can vary depending on the weight(gsm) of the fabric. Typically a t-shirt would be made from 180gsm whereas jeans would use 400gsm weighted fabric for comaprison.

Kenny Macrae, the fashion department’s technician at the University of Northumbria, reported that each year the students get through “approx. 2500m of medium weight 145cm calico across the academic year, plus negligible amounts of medium/extra width, heavy weight and light weight approx. 200m of each.”

Therefore, the department annual gets through approximately 3100m in total.

1 acre = 2 tonnes of hemp

1000kg hemp shivs

150kg textile fibre

73kg yarn

182m2 fabric

Aiming for 3100m to go to the Northumbria Design School that then leaves a remaining 40900m to be sold or used.

From this, 409 rolls of fabric could be produced or alternatively approximately 27000 medium mens t-shirts. (The number of t-shirts obtained from this amount of fabric will vary on the sizes required.)

Ultimately, some of the yarn should be kept back to both sell as yarn, or more importantly use to mix with recycled fibres where needed. Then a proportion of rolls should be kept available for sale and the remaining proportion used for small scale runs of community led clothing designs such as t-shirts.

= 440x100m 1.5m(w) rolls of fabric

DEALING WITH EXISTING TEXTILE WASTE

It is equally important to address the issue of textile waste.

300,000tonnes of textiles go into landfill every year in the UK alone.

Mechanical Methods:

While it is certainly encouraged to donate old clothes to charities, only 15% actually gets sold, with the rest typically shipped to developing countries.

As 98% of existing textiles being recylable there is a huge potential industry and market for recycling textile waste into new yarn and other products; these include construction and building materials. Professor Dr. Visser believes and stated in the documentary, ‘Cloring the Loop’ that “we need to redesign the industrial system. Literally a new industrial revolution closing the loop.” within which it is vital to reuse and recycle our waste and move to a circular economy.

Therefore, I would like to propose that a textile recyling centre is built as part of the larger masterplan. Hearing from Kenny Macrae, the fashion department’s technician at the University of Northumbria, it is clear that there is currently a need for one as ‘to date it has proved incredibly difficult to find someone prepared to take our waste fabric for recycling” and went on to say ‘It’s something I would very much like to get sorted, particularly as students become more conscious and aware of the environment/ethics and sustainability of fashion etc.”.

LEARNING & ENGAGEMENT

Learning is key part of this project.

The whole idea of bringing industry and the production of Hemp to the highstreet is to make the process visible and transparent to the consumers. To enable them to learn and think about the people and the skills that actually go into making their clothes.

Being able to offer lessons, demonstrations, talks and events to get the public directly involved is an important aspect of the programme.

The link with the Northumbria University in providing hemp fabric as an alternative to calico could open up the potential for a partnership. The school already has a number of facilities and equipment that could enable talks and events to be hosted. Doing this would help to promote the students and their work as well as enabling the students to gain a better understanding of the manufacturing processes that go into the fabrics they are using.

Emily Wade from Stitched-up, a community programme in Manchester, states that “If you’ve never made anything before it really makes you aware of the skill sets that are involved to make it and I think it makes you think about what you’re buying.”

Not everyone is going to want to learn how to sew, weave or knit and that’s absolutely fine, and that is where being able to just see the process in action comes into particular fruition. However, for those that do it provides an opportunity to start to learn and engage with like minded people, providing a social hub.

LOCAL CIRCULAR ECONOMY

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A circular economy is an alternative to a traditional linear economy (make, use, dispose) in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of each service life.â&#x20AC;?

Through the masterplan this local economy also seeks to be a circular economy. Both parts of the industrial hemp plant are utilised to feed both the fashion and construction industries.

Being an organic and sustainable material any waste produced in processing the hemp can be used for compost to fertilise the soil. Further, both finished fabrics and building materials derived from hemp can be completely broken down and composted at the end of their lives, resulting in no material needing to go to landfill.

+

To further reduce the impact of the fashion industry, as well as extending the life of used hemp fabric, a textile recycling centre is planned as part of this new circular partnership programme.

The main aim is to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill, as well as aiming to relieve the pressure on raw materials and the environment.

SITE

BEHIND THE SEAMS -

NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE

As mentioned before, I have chosen to base my site in the city of Newcastle in an attempt to reduce my carbon footprint by keeping my site local.

Newcastle is a city located in the NorthEast of England on the north bank of the River Tyne. It is located in the county of Tyne and Wear and is twinned with the city of Gateshead. Newcastle and Gateshead are directly linked by five bridges; the most notable being the Millenium Bridge.

Newcastle is the most popuous city in the north east, and the eighth biggest in the country with a population of 280,177 as recorded in the 2011 census.

Newcastleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history stretches back to Roman times and over the years has played important roles in the 14th century wool trade, 16th century coal mining, 18th century printing and most famously for its role in the industrial revolution as a major ship building and manufacturing hub.

Newcastle

Today it stands as a centre of buisness, arts, science and academia and has two universities: Newcastle University and Northumbria University.

With Newcastle City Council having pledged to reach carbon zero by 2030 it feels very fitting that a sustainble project aiming to reduce waste and environmental impact should be located here.

Let Newcastle now be one of the leading cities of the sustainable revolution!

Large scale farming possibilities are in abundance especially with hemp being a profitable rotation crop.

NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE - RETAIL CORE ANALYSIS

With the gradual ongoing decline of highstreets, I felt this project could provide the perfect opportunity to propose a way of revitalising the high street, which is considered to be the hearts of the city. This simultaneously hits the prime retail consumers, encouraging the message to reach as wide an audience as possible.

SITE RESEARCH - POTENTIAL SITES & ACTIVITIES

From my analysis of the retail core there were three key sites that stood out.

My initial thoughts were for a four stage inner-city masterplan.

Stage 1 - Growing the hemp.

Assuming the pedestrianisation of Blackett Street is in place and a continued aim to reduce the number of cars in the city centre, the need for the sheer number of carparks that currently exist will reduce, leaving redundant spaces. I, therefore, propose that the roof of Eldon Square is used as a city centre base for growing up to 1.5 acres of hemp. Furthermore, with the circular multi-storey car park attached still in place this provides access for any vehicles and/or machinery required in the process without causing any disruption.

S H O W C A MANUFACTURE S I N G MENDING

Stage 2 - Manufacturing I propose that the empty ‘Outfit’ store which faces onto the high street and the existing car park behind are refurbished and re-appropriated to house the proposed manufacturing and garment making process, directly visible to the consumers from the high street. A clothing recycling collection point should be included to support the textile recycling aspect of the project.

Stage 3 - Learning Designing a public design school which enables people to take short courses, classes, attend talks and events to get people involved and enable them to learn about fashion and the industry. Currently this is envisoned on the Stack site, where the lease runs out in 2022. However, with the links with Northumbria University, a whole new building may not be needed.

Stage 4 - Showcasing Weaving the design into the high street as a way of patching it up and revitalising it.

There are so many spaces, particularly on the upper levels of the high street which are currently empty. These unused spaces could be used to showcase the designs produced by the fashion students and other local designers or could equallybe used to temporarily house artisans to enable them to bring their craft to the Highstreet.

Shops on the Highstreet have a temporal nature which is unlikely to change. The activation of these spaces in the interim periods plays along with that rather than trying to fight against it. These displays can be easily moved once the space is appropriated and the changing displays can create a continuous thread of intrigue of what’s new, encouraging people to come back and look.

SITE RESEARCH - CHOSEN SITE

Ultimately, I needed to focus in on one particular site.

The roof top of Eldon Square has been kept as the inner-city location for growing hemp. This site doesn’t need a vast amount attention for the processes that will take place. However, the debate came between the old ‘Oufit’ store block (shown in yellow) or the ‘Stack’ site (shown in red).

Both sites have something to offer. The Stack site could have provided a very intersting location on the corner of the Highstreet for a new build project on a relatively large plot of land for such a prime location. But the old Outfit store block I believe provides a more suitable site for the thesis that I’m proposing.

This thesis is all about the processes of mending, making and reducing waste. It, therefore, feels a little contradictory to go for a totally new build project over a refurbishment. This is not to say that new elements shouldn’t be include. Far from it, rather that the design should knit into and work with the existing urban fabric to mend and develop something new.

Likewise, being located right in the middle of the high street allows it to target the consumer right at the core.

We’re talking about wanting to change the consumer mindset to a more conscious consumerism, which is a vital step in reaching a more sustainable fashion future. The same applies to the built environment which needs to lose the stigma that new is better and embrace working with what’s existing and more sustainable materials where possible.

The other potential sites could also be adapted as the programme/ masterplan organically evolves with time as these offer natural next steps and locations for mending our urban environment.

The Chosen Site 35

BRIEF OUTLINE

BEHIND THE SEAMS

The question this thesis aims to address is:

How can we continue to develop and mend our cities in a sustainable way but with a core agenda of simultaneously trying to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry.

This project seeks to achieve this by proposing a local ciruclar economy which is knitted into the existing fabric of the city.

The key aspects of the programme aim to: 1. Address the need for transparency, and raising awareness of the processes, people and skills involved in making clothes, to encourage a more conscious consumer mindset.

2. Propose a zero-waste economy where all aspects of the hemp plant are used to create a local, sustainable fabric as well as building materials such as hempcrete; both of which can be composted at the end of their lives to give back to the soil.

3. Tackle the issue of waste by including a textile recycling centre which can make use of the inner-city manufacturing machines for spinning and weaving to create recycled fabrics as well as exploring how textile waste can be used in construction.

I intend to focus on the inner city block (highlighted in yellow on the retail core masterplan).

Here the design proposal should knit and weave into the existing buildings: reusing, extending and demolishing where appropriate. Fundamentally, the design must be able to house the machines required for producing 40,000m of 1.5m wide hemp fabric, as well as producing recyled fabrics in between crop harvests.

However, it should be designed to enable the public to see the processes involved and engage with them where possible.

Garment production and tailoring should be available on site, with opportunites for the the public to see and get involved in the designing process. People want to be part of something bigger and ultimately are more likely to value their clothes if they have played a part in creating it.

Given the resurgance and popularity of making and mending, it follows to also include a sustainable haberdashery shop on site as well. Including this shop would enable people, particularly fashion students, to obtain hemp fabric, recycled fabrics and buttons etc.

Currently purchasing sustainable materials in Newcastle is very limited on the High street.

Social spaces, such as cafes should also be included to enable people to spend more time in the space rather than just passing through; the longer people are able to see the processes being carried out, the greater their appreciation for the time taken and skills required to produced fabrics and garments will be.

There is also the ability to host classes and talks on site. Having the Northumbria Fashion Design School (highlighted in peach) close by provides the opportunity for fashion students to use the space.

The creation of close links between the two sites will be mutually beneficial, also providing the opportunity to help further educate the public.

As for the hempcrete aspect of the production, much like the textile recycling, this process takes place on another site locally. However, hempcrete is used as the primary building material for the newbuild design, showcasing how hemp can be used to create a sustainable architecture as well as fashion all in one place right on the Highstreet.

While for this project the focus is on the city of Newcastle, the declining retail highstreet is a problem that is being faced country wide.

While it would not be possible for every town and city to have a complete manufacturing business on its Highstreet, the concept of mending and awareness can be carried through with the way that the buildings are built and refurbished able to set a strong precedent.

As mentioned earlier there are currently 113 fashion courses in the UK. Can you imagine the positive impact that could be made on the environment if all of these courses were to use UK grown and produced hemp fabric as opposed to calico?

Using hemp doesn’t just help the fashion industry’s in becoming more environmentally friendly by reducing its reliance on heavily polluting cotton by providing a sustainable alternative. It can also have a huge positive impact on the construction industry’s environmental footprint. Given that just one acre of hemp produces a minimum of 1000kg of hemp shivs, when scaled up this could create a very commercially attractive and sustainable UK hempcrete industry as a by product of the hemp fabric production forming a cost effective circular economy which as we learnt from the documentary ‘Closing the Loop, is vital for our future.

+

When you combine the fact that hemp is an excellent and profitable rotation crop and that with licenses you could use the land that is already used for agricultural to grow the hemp required, this is a proposal that requires very little new infrastructure proportionally to put into action.

This proposal offers a practical, low carbon way for architecture, fashion and farming to help each other, working together to create a more sustainable future.

HEMPCRETE

Understanding how Hempcrete is made.

I felt it was important to experience first hand making hempcrete to gain a better understanding of the material.

I made a 1:1 model of a traditional hempcrete block measuring 500(l) x 300(w) x 200mm(h).

This involved mixing 3kg hemp shivs with 6kg lime binder and 10 litres water.

I also experimented with smaller moulds measuring 300x300x60mm and 150x150x30mm. These were to investigate the sorts of patterns you could create in hempcrete which could be scaled up for larger panels.

(Note: The finished dry models are not shown as I was unable to bring these home in the event of the Coronavirus outbreak and lockdown.)

TEXTILES

Experimenting with textiles.

Having experimented with hempcrete, I felt it was also important to gain a better understanding of the processes involved in fashion, making both textiles and garments.

I signed up for sewing classes: As a group we met up every Monday evening for 6 weeks with the task of making our own skirt. This was a fantastic experience, which gave me an understanding of pattern cutting and garment construction.

I learnt to weave on a loom: This was done to understand how threads are woven together to create a piece of fabric.

I also made a small concept model which extrapolated the horizontal warp threads from the vertical weft threads, gaining spatial and technical understanding of fabric weaving.

I had a go at knitting as well: While knitting is not part of the production programme for making the hemp fabric, it is something which could be taught in one of the workshops or demonstrated in an artisan studios.

6 week Sewing Class

Trying natural dyes: While there is no fabric dyeing proposed as part of the production as only natural hemp fibres and coloured recycled fibres will be used, I did want to understand the natural dyeing process for yarns and fabrics.

In addition I started exploring how textiles could be used in architecture. I experimented with ideas of how textiles could literally be reused to create textured walls and screens of varying opacities. The fact that hemp can be 3D printed also led me to making some 3D printed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fabricâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; built up of interlinked circles which in turn produced intricate patterned panels as a by product which had a lace like quality to them ..

Members of the public can view how garments are manufactured from specific viewing galleries which aim to continue to tell the story about where their clothes come from and how theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re produce.

Visitors can enjoy sitting down with a drink while hearing and seeing the buzz of activity around them. This provides an informal space to draw people in to socialise or work from; the longer one spends in the greater the understanding and appreciation of the time and skill involved of making clothes.

BUILDING 2 - FACADE

Materials: Hemp Insulation Recycled Textile Insulation Concrete (Existing) Timber (Reclaimed/ Locally Sourced) Aluminium

An Architectural Weave Inspired by the woven textiles of Anni Albers, the sliding facade panels create a continuously changing facade which moves in response to the activities going on within.

The vertical and horizontal panels can be slid across to either open up or create more densely filled areas of the facade. This enables varying levels of solar shading and privacy where desired.
