PLACE.
It is not unlike Gehl’s principle of “Life, Space, Buildings”. I have come to appreciate that people are the lifeblood of a town and it is people’s interaction with nature that has defined the landscapes we see today. People are as organic as nature. They require spaces to grow, interact and, in a sense, colonise the environment around them. In doing this comes a profound ability to personalise a space, create activities that were never intentional and bring life, thus creating a ‘place’. I am passionate about context-led design. Rather than a tabula rasa approach, I draw inspiration from a site’s social and environmental contexts, often ranging from local to national scales and apply this understanding to inform a project’s strategies and design. Consequently, this allows me to create an ideal balance between
the preservation of characterful site features and creative new designs to deliver positive change for both wildlife and people. In designing with vegetation this is where my interest in environmental psychology becomes stronger. People will often form a symbiotic relationship with nature, wherein when you find plants you will find people. Vegetation cannot be undersold in its ability to captivate the imagination and create a sense of wonder that can vastly improve mental health and well-being. I often consider myself a maker, a particular passion is woodworking. This has translated well to landscape architecture as it has afforded me the ability to problem solve. Equally, it has helped me to understand how best to fit things together and translate this across multiple scales, whether this means creating ecological connections between fragmented habitats at a larger scale or how to construct steps at the detailed technical scale.
One of the best parts of working in landscape for me is the chance to work closely with both other landscape architects and in multidisciplinary teams. Each project is unique and has its own issues to resolve and this where I find working with people with different opinions and attitudes creates an organic process, of creating, testing ideas, and problem solving that develops creative solutions. I have greatly enjoyed my time working in professional practices and at university, working alongside people that make projects exciting. From experience I know that there is always something new to learn. As the climate- both environmental and political, continues to change, I look forward to joining an office culture that is ambitious and pushes the boundaries of development through new and innovative designs; that can challenge and nurture me to help me grow as both a professional and as a person.

BREAKING BOUNDARIES FINAL 3RD YEAR DESIGN PROJECT
Post-industrial sites are synonymous with urban areas. This particular site at Friargate, Derby is a mosaic of neglected rail lines, industrial buildings and colonising scrub atop steep topography that forms a dominant feature in Derby’s skyline.
Reflecting upon and enhancing the six existing character areas of the site will help to create a new landscape campus for the University of Derby’s Art Department. By breaking apart these areas, the opportunity arises for people and vegetation to break the literal and metaphorical boundaries of the site to create unity.

FUNCTIONALITY The predominant use of the site, as it stands, is as a shortcut between two residential areas.

HISTORY The historic rail platforms still exist but have been lost in the woodland. Reopening and enhancing the bridge and platforms will develop new connections out into the wider context. CONTEXT The steep topography of the site and the monolithic structure of the building creates this ‘castle on an island’ appearance. This means the site can be seen from afar but lacks any functional relationship with its surrounding context because of its poor reputation. Designing a more inviting front to the site will indicate new life on site and encourage use.

MOVEMENT CONCEPTS Each area offers a unique movement pattern to enhance the users experience.
The Cross Walk retains the existing movement pattern but enhances it with the form of lost rail track, providing new connections into the landscape and school.
The Woodland can only be entered from two points. This defines the woodland as a place to escape from everyday stresses. The re-formed bridge then reconnects the site to the wider community.
The Central axis allows service access to the building and provides a key movement line through the site. From the central spine people can spread out into the grassland landscape.
The Grassland lacks structural vegetation in its core. Therefore the movement is pushed to the edges to encourage exploration and panoramic views of the grassland.
The site entrance is the key threshold. Both the meandering and protruding paths allow people to permeate out into the landscape. Each route offers different views.
CROSS WALKSEASONAL BREAKAGE In summer that plants and palette of colours reflect the character of brownfield sites. Defining the edges of the paths, movement is restricted in linear directions. In Winter, the vegetation will die back, just as life becomes more active with the new academic year. In this time the train line character becomes evident through the visible aggregate. People begin to break the boundaries of the linear paths when taking shorcuts across the planting areas become possible
BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES During establishment, the ornamental planting in the woodland is distinct in character from the adjacent naturalistic planting. The dense tree planting will initially create a continuous canopy capable of suppressing weed competition, aiding the growth of the understory planting. During maturation of the woodland, light levels along the edge of the woodland will create better meadow conditions. Certain meadow species will colonise and establish by out-competing the ornamentals in the woodland. This will break the boundary of two character areas, unifying the landscape.
As an extension of the art department the Seesaw Bridge acts as a playful art installation that creates a fun way of accessing both the graffiti workshop and the grassland
The Tunnel Bridge blocks all views except forward and back offering a greater sense of breaking into a new space. The tunnel will act as a platform for the students to artistically express their graffiti skills.
The Stressed Ribbon Bridge is the only bridge that connects directly to the building. Its depression and rise changes the flow of movement to reflect the rolling landform opposite and emphasise the approach into a new space
B The Springboard Bridge is might look like a flat bridge at ground level, but the cantilevered joint allows it to bend at one end. At first this will catch people off guard but overtime it will develop into a play feature
The Ridge Bridge is a more physically challenging way of crossing the gap. However those that try the climb are rewarded with a polished concrete slide.
DETAILED DESIGN The bridges help to break up the monotony of everyday routine, and the metaphorical boundary of a creative block, by offering play that encourages creativity.
An axial route that runs the length of the building will provide the spine to the site. Along this route will be a series of play features. These features will activate the edge of the path, generating an engaging way of crossing between public and semiprivate zones. These activities and the materiality of the design will help prevent a tiring length perspective (Gehl, 2010) 1. Untreated mild steel bars form the edge boundary of the main axis. In certain areas the metal might polish, blurring the boundary into another character area. 2. The axis will be made of concrete sleepers with a wood grain texture. With the mild steel edging, the paths become reminiscent of the historic rail line. Recycled timber sleepers in the concrete indicate the location of a bridge

3. Untextured concrete paths are used in the grassland. The simpleness of the material is to contrast and emphasise the more complex grassland habitat. 4. Loose aggregate helps to define the semi-private patio area outside the building, distinguishing the space as a more personal place for students
The landform in the grassland rises immediately opposite the entrance to the building, fortifying the edge of the planting, preventing anyone from walking through it. The person is then given a choice between paths pointing in opposite directions, diversifying the experience and views of the grassland
Glass fronts to the building’s ground floor rooms allow the creation of art and learning to be visible to the public.

HOUSING PROJECT 3RD YEAR DESIGN PROJECT
The housing market in the UK is becoming increasingly problematic, both in terms of housing numbers and affordability. This module attempted to find a different approach to creating sustainable housing, in all definitions of the term, but also using a concept that is still very young in the UK- CoHousing. Disregarding the norm
and putting landscape first, this allowed life and people to form before buildings were decided. This provided a novel way of defining the boundaries between public and private whilst encouraging social interaction both within each realm and between them.
Site Survey and Analysis Transport Connections-
Precedent Analysis
VegetationThe site is very well connected with public transport routes that connect to the city centre on the nearby Ecclesall Road Bicycle routes also run along side the site running from the General Cemetery to Sunny Bank Nature Reserve There is a large student population in the area which diminishes the level of mixed communities
Concept
Southside Park Cohousing helped introduce the idea of clustered housing.
The site in its current condition has limited vegetation but has the potential to connect to nearby woodlands- General Cemetery
This lead into the concept of the Porter Co-Living Project. A new cohousing community near the Heart of Sheffield that encourages a collaborative lifestyle, both internally and with the wider urban community.
Each cluster encompasses its own communal space which helps with social interactions by creating smaller subsections of the community (Williams, 2005)
Shopping-
Each residence has its own semi private space that helps provide a degree of privacy that allows for the option of contact in the communal space.
The site is also located near Ecclesall Road which is home to many shopping establishments and supermarkets
It is a place that allows people to affordably enter the housing market and work together to create a healthy environment to live in.
Members of the community have decided to take on set roles to organise the maintenance of communal facilities resulting in greater social cohesion
COHOUSING OFFERS A HEALTHIER WAY TO LIVE AND A MORE SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS MODEL� (The guardian, 2011)
Bike repair and storage

Recreation and washing
Communal Buildings
Energy Efficiency
The community facilities will be divided up amongst the clusters.
Packing the buildings side to side reduces the surface area of the building improving the energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Equipping solar panels provides a self-sufficient sustainable energy source
This will cause residents to move to different clusters which will lead to spontaneous informal greetings. This helps create a greater level of social cohesion and limit territorial disputes (Williams, 2005)
All units have large windows to maximise natural sunlight reducing the need for electric lights. This reduces electricity need and cost which is more economically and environmentally sustainable The large windows can also provide a source of natural cooling in the summer months.
Development The houses along Summerfield Street will be built first to provide a screen for the rest of the site and to begin to establish a community

The houses along Napier Street and the rest of the site can be built over time in accordance with the needs of the community. This will give some of the woodland planting a chance to establish

Water will drain from the building roofs into the woodland and gardens. This is to alleviate excess water reaching the river When the trees are young they can be planted densely to create a woodland effect. As the trees mature and ground vegetation establishes, the trees can be thinned allowing the planting to develop into a more mature woodland
Newly Planted
5-10 Years
20+ Years
Porter Co-Living residents can help maintain the woodland to help integrate them with external communities and help create a collaborative lifestyle. The thinned trees can then be used by the residents or can be used for local industry. The community can also help re-plant trees, establishing a cyclical regeneration that encourages long term sustainability
MATERIAL PALETTE Acer pseudoplatanus Using the same species of tree that already exists on site will help retain the site character
Corylus avellana Hazel trees are also a typical woodland species that can provide lots of wood if coppiced
Betula nigra and pendula Betula nigra provides the seasonal interest but is also tolerant of water so it can work well in the SUDS system
Alnus glutinosa Alnus is one of the few trees that can live in water so it is ideal for wet woodland areas or SUDS
Wood decking Decking provides a different character to harder paving and helps separate public and more private spaces. Permeable paving Permeable resin bounded paving is a sustainable material to use in the public areas because it help alleviate standing water and is economically sustainable because it does not require maintenance
Cobblestones Cobblestones at the entrances to Napier street immediately slow down cars helping to respect the quieter character of the street .
Gravel paving Gravel pathways in the communal space help provide a more intimate character and provide a permeable surface for water drainage
VIENNA FIELD STUDY 3RD YEAR RESEARCH PROJECT
Until I returned home from Vienna, it did not occur to me how simply landscape features informed the way in which we move through a place. So often, it is a building that is considered to be a landmark because it helps create a sense of legibility in an urban environment. However, it became clear to me on this trip that elements of a landscape such as landform, water, vegetation and built features unequivocally produce the same affect.
A person might be seemingly unappreciative of this, but it has elevated me to be more selfreflective and critical of my own work, making me constantly ask the question, why am I putting this element here and what is it going to achieve?

SHEFFIELD’S BUSINESSES ARE GREEN STRATEGY 2ND YEAR PLANNING PROJECT
Sheffield is one the North’s largest economies, and in 2015 ranked within the top 10 largest city economies outside of London. However for all it’s supposed economic success and vitality, through developments like the new retail quarter, there is still something fundamentally flawed in the system, with many parts of the city being far from financially successful. Commercial chains pull together to create ubiquitous shopping centres, preventing small businesses from emerging. But the opportunity arises around these commercial centres for business
districts and smaller commercial hubs to arise, bringing with them a boost to local economies. The Sheffield Businesses are Green strategy is a development proposal that encourages economic growth through business generation but also through a study of green infrastructure’s effects on the mental health of the work force and its opportunities for attracting and retaining skilled workers. The project taught me a lot about landscape planning and strategic thinking on a large scale.
'Sustainable development is the pathway to the future we want for all. It offers a framework to generate economic growth' -Ban Ki Moon (2013)
The Business Strategy had three main aims: • To connect economies • Build relationships with local schools
The creation of high quality green space will help to improve the identity of the area, and with the additional health benefits, there is the opportunity to attract and retain a higher calibre of workers and knowledge based industries
• Expand businesses
The Green Space Strategy had three main aims:
Conceptual visualisations of new green spaces and business districts
• To reconnect commercial and residential areas • Improve the quality of life for people • Create the right environment for investment

LIVESEY STREET PLANTING DESIGN 2ND YEAR DESIGN PROJECT
Livesey Street is a dead end street for cars, and the sole occupants are the students of Hillsborough College. However, the street is not a dead end for pedestrians and has a valuable connection to Parkwood Springs through the forgotten but stunning woodland Wardsend Cemetery. The entrance to the street in its present state holds no welcome invitation or indication of life beyond the college. Therefore the purpose of this module was to create a new planting scheme that creates a gateway to the street.
I drew inspiration from the city’s shift from industry to its current ‘greening’ and the change between urban Hillsborough to the natural woodland. This defined the planting schemes bold hot to cold colour scheme that creates a dramatic display that both attracts people to stay whilst inviting people to move through and explore what lies beyond

CULTURAL INDUSTRIES QUARTER 2ND YEAR DESIGN PROJECT
The Cultural Industries Quarter was once the location of busy cutlery works and tool makers.
and university students. This contributes to an atmosphere of antagonism, stress and rush.
In its post-industrial life, it has become the place for a creative lifestyle, full of studiosartistic or recording, galleries, cinemas and food markets.
This project was a creative process about injecting a sense of relaxation and restoration both to the area and to a person’s sense of well-being. Revealing a lost treasure of Sheffield, the Porter Brook, the water that once fuelled the factories would become of use once again.
The presence of these, however, is lost amongst retired buildings that are falling apart and car parks that scar the landscape. And surrounding the area is the ring road, government offices
“No Water, no life. No blue, no green� Sylvia Earle
