The University of Sheffield School of Architecture

Welcome, This document presents the work produced by students from across our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. The School’s ethos of social conscience and sustainability is evident throughout the outstanding contributions of our students and staff. The Undergraduate Programme has continued to expand the use of digital media this year with Year 2 now incorporating SSoA’s digital review protocol throughout Semester 2. All studio presentations and submissions in Year 3 are fully digital, utilising large touch screens to emulate a wall of drawn information. Year 2 explored housing projects in the Netherlands in January, providing inspirational research into domestic architecture from which to commence the housing design project, set this year in Burngreave in northern Sheffield. Year 1 have again brought the theme of ‘liveness’ into the Undergraduate Course through the ‘Space Hacking’ project in April. Year 3 have engaged with a variety of contemporary themes in their final projects. ‘The Ministry of Food’ in York explored challenges of climate change and the global economy, whilst the ‘City Hall’ project group visited the Palace of Westminster to experience Brexit protests and to discuss the evolution of democracy in the UK. MArch continues to run the very popular and successful Live Projects, which will be celebrating their 20th anniversary this Autumn, to bring an understanding of the social responsibility of architects. The MArch staff and students delivered a workshop as part of the Bauhaus 100 festival in Dessau, where they also worked in the studio space of the famous Bauhaus preliminary course and worked with academics from around the world. There were also some interesting fieldtrips to Porto, Madrid, Marseille, Milan and Rotterdam. Sheffield citizens were recently able to experience Sheffield Castle through an augmented reality model, learn about recent archaeological research and see visions of the future from our MArch students as part of the ‘Experiencing Castlegate’ project. MArch student work that explores the architectural possibilities for Chatterley Whitfield Colliery in Stoke-on-Trent, was presented to the local Council during a meeting to discuss the future of the site. Mark Emms was awarded the ‘Teaching Excellence in Social Sciences Award for Outstanding Practice in Learning and Teaching’ by our Faculty for his MArch studio work on Stoke-on-Trent. Our innovative MArch route Collaborative practice continues to grow with over 40 leading UK practices on board. Now in its fourth year it highlights our commitment to forging links and opportunities between academia and practice through a new model of student-centred learning. Our postgraduate taught courses in architectural design, urban design, sustainable architecture, and digital architecture and design, are very specialised and international, and align with the School’s ethos in addressing the social, economic, environmental and technological aspects of architecture.

FOREWORD

In terms of Postgraduate Research, this year we had 13 new PGR researchers joining our PhD programme, as well as several more on our relatively new 3+1 integrated Master and PhD Programme. The PGR Manifesto committee organised a range of excellent events for the PGR community, including several workshops, a walk, and various food fuddles. The highlight of the year was the School’s second Annual Manifesto PGR Conference, where 24 PGR researchers presented their work to around 50 participants. Next year we plan to make this a regional event, working with the RIBA. We are also delighted to be awarded a highly prestigious and fully funded three-year White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities Scholarship starting in September 2019. Our School’s ranking in most league tables confirms its position as a leading School of Architecture which is a significant achievement. This is a noteworthy team effort that has made this School such as a special place to learn and work. I therefore would like to thank our students, recent graduates, academics, professional services staff, alumni, friends and families, and partners from the profession for their continuous support and encouragement. This year we have had a number of important achievements by students, such as Ethan Loo’s commendation in the Dissertation Medal category of the 2018 Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) President’s Medals; Rachael Moon’s award of second-place in the SPAB Philip Webb Awards 2018; 2018 Denis Mason Jones sketching competition with Christie Tan’s sketch, ‘The Night with the Cat’, won the student category and John Chia was commended for his sketch of Eyre Street in Sheffield. Hannah Pether won overall Part 2 Award at the RIBA North Student Awards 2018. The best paper at People and Buildings Masters Conference was won by our MSc in Sustainable Architecture Studies student, Ade Aderogba. Matthew Bloomfield was awarded the £10,000 top prize for architecture at the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition for his MArch project ‘Parlimentary Campus of God’s own Country’. His project has been awarded the Turkish Ceramics Grand Award for Architecture. Finally, the Global Undergraduate Awards 2018 - Architecture and Design, European winner is Kacper Pach. Congratulations to all. As always, special thanks to the award-winning School of Architecture Society (SUAS) for their efforts with the guest lecture series and other School activities, and to the Catalogue team and sponsors for the production of this publication. I hope you will enjoy this catalogue and the exhibition. Professor Karim Hadjri Head of School June 2019

UNDERGRADUATE

Dual MEng in Structural Engineering and Architecture Coordinator Richard Harpin

The BA Architecture course is a three-year honours degree that brings together a balanced university education with a professionally orientated course. It combines lecture based courses with a creative studio culture. Lectures develop a broad knowledge base ranging across sciences and humanities; this knowledge is then brought to the studio where it is tested and developed through a sequence of design projects. Lectures are delivered by staff who are all at the forefront of their own field of research, ensuring this information imparted is up-to-date and relevant. Within the studio, full time members of staff are joined by practicing architects, who bring with them topical ideas and skill from the world of architecture. It is this combination of a rigorous academic base and a creative professional direction that exemplifies architecture at Sheffield. The dual degrees in Architecture + Landscape and Structural Engineering and Architecture enable students to integrate their architectural design work with the wider landscape context and the discipline of engineering respectively. All courses offer opportunities to think about sustainability and sustainable futures in an interconnected and contextual way.

YEAR ONE

Year One combines the acquisition of key design and communication skills with an in-depth investigation into the importance of context and place. At all stages, the programme encourages students to experiment, and to test their proposals through making and analysis. Focussing on Sheffield, students explore architectural and urban interventions at a range of scales, and are asked to critically reflect on their work and the consequences of their architecture on the people and places they meet. Our projects build from first-hand discoveries in the city around us, through detailed considerations of domestic living, revealing the importance of spaces, places, and activities that are often overlooked. From here, we move into more complex buildings, exploring relationships between private, public, and context. Our projects reflect the Year One ethos, which values collaboration, social engagement and inclusivity. We explore the notion of appropriateness through our interventions, and always strive to value what we find and seek to make it better. When students learn how to design a building, they simultaneously ask why anything should be built at all? How will the building affect its location and surroundings, and who will benefit from this particular spatial intervention?

Semester One Project 1 This City Is Ours

01 Davina Nossora P1 - My Sheffield

This project encourages students, working in groups, to see architecture in a wider context, beyond the visual, into the urban, social, and cultural contexts that make up Sheffield, and serves as an introduction to the exploration of the tension between private, social, and public space.

02 Katherine Langley P1 - This City is Ours 03 Hannah Maxey P1 - Mapping the City, model

Using drawings, diagrams, maps, notes, photographs, collages, models, etc., students are asked to individually build up a detailed picture of the parts of the city in which they now live, and to explore the routes they are already taking around Sheffield. As a group they then seek to juxtapose and mediate these individual records into a group response, consider where there are overlapping experiences and where there are voids, and what these might signify.

Project 2 Scratching the surface, getting under the skin

07 Liv Clermont P2 - Paintings

This project explores a range of methods by which the architect can begin to understand and represent space in all its complexities, to record and draw in detail a particular space, and to investigate how that same physical environment can be experienced differently by different people. Working again in groups, the students are presented with a range of special spaces located around Sheffield, which they must explore, record, and re-interpret. The first part of this project requires the students to learn the skills involved in recording and presenting a three-dimensional space in two dimensions, acquiring basic surveying skills, and learning to draw their space, “objectively”, using architectural drawing conventions. In the second stage, the project progresses to asking the student to represent that same space through alternative, “subjective”, means, in order to get under the skin of the room – to look at it from different perspectives, to unpack its hidden meanings and connections, and thus to represent what it means to you, how it makes you feel. A range of architectural, fine art, filmic, audio, and literary techniques are used for this. Project 3 DomestiCity This project tasks the students with working individually to design a small building in an urban context. It aims to develop an understanding of the relationship between internal spatial layout, external form and the ways in which the particular characteristics of the context affect the design of architectural space. The project asks the students to consider the nature of basic human activities that support our daily existence, and to consider how these may be facilitated in a public building in the city. The project begins with data collection and analysis: detailed site analysis, and the investigation and recording of a basic human domestic activity in detail, exploring its physical, anthropometrical, cultural, and ritual qualities. Students are allocated an activity from the following selection: sleep, dine, reflect, play, bathe, care. The students then develop their own brief, identifying how an interpretation of their given activity may benefit a particular community in the city.

Through the development and representation of their architectural interventions, this project helps the students to understand architectural space as an enabler of fundamental human domestic activities, and, beyond that, the role architecture can play within an urban, social, and cultural context.

Semester Two Project 4 HomeWorks This project asks the students to bring together many of the themes addressed, and skills acquired, during the year. Concepts of inhabitation, domestic space, activity, and their interaction with the wider city and community are brought together into this one integrated project. Located on a range of sites along the River Loxley in northern Sheffield, this project explores and challenges notions of public and private space through the design of a house which equally creates private space for its inhabitants and serves other purposes, accommodating other users. It requires consideration of how the building and the activities it accommodates can reach out beyond the site boundary, along the channel of water that connects all the sites, to make connections with the local communities, and Sheffield beyond. Each of the four studios within the year had a different variant on the brief, suggesting different requirements for the public functions: Studio 1 – House for a Bookbinder, where students meet their real client, Linette and her family, and design for them a home, workshop and studio for restoring and creating books of all kinds. The craft of bookbinding is varied and complex, it was developed for utilitarian purposes but other aspects of its physical nature are now being acknowledged and valued. The book, like architecture, has threshold, sequence, quality, proportion and character. Studio 2 – Shaping Sound, which explores the architecture of sound, the expression of its intangible qualities and the way it can alter the perception of an environment through the creation of a home for a family of professional musicians and teachers. The clients are interested in ways to bring their vast collection of musical instruments to life within their home and the students are encouraged to explore the multiple approaches to the relationship of music and architecture, from architecture as an instrument to manifestations of sound through material to the soundscapes of the everyday.

Studio 3 – Fettler’s Corner, which explores ideas of making, craft, waste, and reuse. The students are asked to create a home, workshop and shop where broken and unwanted objects can be brought for repair and reconditioning for re-use or sale and where technical, manual, and craft skills can be learnt and exchanged. The students themselves select what objects may be repaired or repurposed – from fishing rods to guitars, and from rings to teeth.

15 P5 - Group Unfolding Moods, Assembly

Studio 4 – Experimental Bakery, in which the students design a home and workplace for a couple who have a reputation for experimental baking using unusual ingredients. They are passionate about passing on the joy of baking and creating to a new generation. The type of baked goods to be made in the bakery is the students’ choice, and an opportunity to explore the nature of the chosen food, its significance, its relevance to the residents, and to the local area.

Project 5 Hack the Block This project seeks to develop the students’ understanding of the consequences of physical and spatial interventions in an urban context, through a “live” build and exhibition engaging with the people of Sheffield. Working in “supergroups” the students build on the knowledge gained in all the preceding projects – what, up until now has been tested as ‘paper architecture’ is now tested “for real” as a small-scale built intervention in the public realm. A priority is placed on the students’ initiative and self-reliance: each group must identify and secure permission for their own citycentre site, develop their own brief for their intervention, and source their own materials. This project is always very successful in generating stimulating pieces of design and construction, but even more so in generating memorable conversations between our students and the people of Sheffield. 04

Year Two is a fast paced programme of three projects structured to engender fluidity and confidence in the design process. The course delivery is supported by a strong studio culture. Academic enquiry and reflection is sustained through investment in the ‘large group review’, designed to expand critique and discourse within a supportive social environment. Each of the three projects incorporates specific drawing or model making tasks intended to extend experimentation and exploration of design ideas through a rigorous methodology. Students are encouraged to become more searching in the testing of their ideas.

Semester One P1.1 Measure The students worked in groups to investigate a given subject or pursuit and collect all data necessary in preparation for their design project. Working in pairs, a series of measured studies were made, including a 1 to 1 drawing of a key component or process contextualised using the human form. P1.2 Territory Each subject typically corresponds to a given type of landscape found in and around Sheffield (woodland/river valley/moorland/ peak). Through the creation of a large ‘figure ground’ drawing and use of other mapping techniques, the students explored the physical and ephemeral characteristics of their site. P1.3 Threshold – ‘Photo’, ‘Grow’, ‘Fly’, ‘Cycle’, ‘Kayak’ Having becoming experts in their given projects, the student pairs were then required to design a small building in a landscape. They were asked to locate their building in relation to a threshold that they had identified on the site. Their proposal must support all of the practical requirements of the subject while responding sensitively and creatively to the landscape in which it sits. Exploring the relationship between the human body, architecture and landscape, the students must develop their own conceptual and theoretical design approach in response to brief and site. P2.1 Urban Study The students worked in groups to investigate the Ropewalks area of Liverpool. The students explored the social and physical fabric of the area, collecting a range of data, both factual and anecdotal, in order to form an authentic understanding of the constraints and opportunities of each area. P2.2 Library/Theatre The students were tasked with designing a small library or theatre to serve their given site and chosen therme. A precedent study and site visit to Liverpool Ropeworks supported the development of a proposal for a specific ‘type’ of library or theatre, and the design of a public building tailored to both consistuency and place. The project provides the students with their first opportunity to design an urban intervention within a streetscape.

Semester Two P3.1 Precedent Study As a prelude to the semester two housing project, students work in groups to study seminal housing precedents, producing a library of housing typologies. Using drawing, modelling and film making as tools to investigate and critically appraise their precedent, the students undertook a detailed critique of the project’s spatial, material and environmental qualities and the extent to which it meets the living needs of its inhabitants. P3.2 Manifesto We opened the project with a debate, inviting a range of academics and practitioners to share their views and experiences and encouraging the students to engage with the live issues – social, political and economic, that provide the context for their housing project. Students then developed their own housing manifesto, to be the programmatic driver for their own housing design project. P3.3 Neighbourhood Study Students were tasked with producing a contextual analysis of their project site, located within the Sheffield neighbourhood of Burngreave. Exploring urban planning techniques, the students worked in groups to produce speculative proposals considering alternative futures for Burngreave. This provided a means to understanding the character and identity of the area; its needs and aspirations. P3.4 Housing Each student was required to design dwellings to house 6-10 families, with an element of additional accommodation to be individually determined and informed by the student’s housing manifesto. The design of housing, unlike the single house, offers an opportunity to investigate the realm of the shared, the street. Each site provoked a response to the notion of the street and students were encouraged to attempt an analysis of a front to back condition through the use of a sectional perspective drawing. The housing project is supported by a study trip to Amsterdam and Rotterdam in January, which is a fantastic opportunity to further explore a range of radical public and housing projects.

YEAR THREE

Third Year students undertake two design projects during the academic year, punctuated by a short group project aimed at the development of enquiry and research through a collaborative group output. This sets the intellectual framework for the final project. Studios are comprised of a range of parallel project programmes. Throughout their studies, students are actively challenged to consider the social, political, and typological characteristics of place, in order to develop a critical position within the thematic framework of the project brief. Each programme is rooted in a deep understanding of place, structured by a rigorous site and precedent analysis. Enquiry and experimentation within the studio framework is encouraged through the use of a wide range of representational techniques as well as the creative integration of technology into the studio programme. Throughout the year, students are supported by a dedicated staff of Sheffield School of Architecture and visiting critics, ranging from world renowned architects, structural engineers, and various design professionals. The exceptional work produced by our students is a testament to the rigour, enthusiasm, and critical reflection of the student group and their commitment to the spirit of the Year 3 Studio. The four projects from Semester One were cultural buildings based in Scarborough. The eight Semester Two projects developed the students civic architectural language.

Undergraduate Special Study The Special Study is an individual piece of work that allows students to explore a particular aspect of architecture in some depth. Topics cover a wide subject range, including architectural theory, architectural history, science and technology, structures, management, CAD and the digital realm, landscape architecture, architectural teaching and practice, and urban design. The Special Study offers students the opportunity to research, organise and produce an extended piece of mostly written work over the course of a year. One of last year’s Special Studies, a study of Macau by Ethan Loo, was awarded a Commendation in the RIBA Dissertation Prize, despite competing against dissertations at a Masters level (see page 156 of the catalogue). This year, the diverse range of topics have included an exploration of the potential of open source architecture by Cecelia Vincent and a comparison of prison design in Norway and the UK by Eleanor Catlin. These studies give a brief indication of the richness, rigour and variety of the Special Study, and the wide range of research methodologies, analytical and presentation techniques that are deployed.

ARCHITECT ARCHITECT

Open Source Architecture and the Plight of Intellectual Property Cecelia Vincent

‘Dear Architects, I am sick of your shit.’ (Choi 2006, p.1)

Architecture is a profession built by and working for an elite. With only 2% of buildings globally being architect-designed, and for the wealthiest 1% of the population, the profession must evaluate who it wants to work for (Parvin 2013, p.91). Today, architecture tends to be produced for users not by them, as developers stand between people and architects. Open source architecture calls for a democratisation of the field, and a shift in the relationship between architect and user. It preaches a collective approach to design, undermining architectural authorship. However, it is possible that open source architecture could succumb to be a label without substance, or a vague redefinition of participatory design, used for its ‘positive cultural connotations’ (Vardouli and Buechley 2014, p.51). The real question is whether architects will allow open source to bring about a paradigmatic restructuring of the discipline, or whether their individualism will trample its potential. The established system of architectural education encourages the development of new concepts, instead of the expansion of existing ones. It also emphasises independent rather than group work, which results in a disjunction between education and practice. Architects learn from the architects of the past, as precedent study forms a fundamental part of design modules. Architecture is inherently about copy-edit, just not copy-paste. Thus, the concept of regarding ideas as personal possessions, protected by intellectual property rights, seems dissonant to architecture.

USERS USERS Figure system Figure 44 Closed Closed hierarchical hierarchical system (adapted 2019) (adapted from from OpenStructures OpenStructures 2019)

Crucially, it is impossible to view the architect’s inclination towards individual authorship in isolation from the whole of our libertarian society, which inherently values individual over collective profit. Collaborative design demands a reversal of wider societal values. Intellectual property came about as a result of the capitalist system turning everything into private property, but the concept in itself highlights the failures of the free market. Thus, the dialogue architects face is part of a wider, more public discussion. From Marx to Locke, individual ownership has been under debate for centuries, but it ultimately governs the society we live and design in today. The problem is exponentially larger than architectural practice alone, and it is improbable that architecture can transform the plight of intellectual property and individual authorship without wider societal change. However, through educational reform, architectural schools, supported by professional bodies, have the potential to go a long way in preparing architects to function within a collective rather than individualistic framework. To succeed, open source must start with architects and move on to architecture. But then again, as the single author, what do I know? Introduction

The Architecture of Incarceration: A Comparative Study of British and Norwegian Prison Design Eleanor Catlin

Until the 19th century, those condemned of a crime would be punished through public execution, their body irreversibly condemned. The disappearance of punishments (including torture and execution) as public spectacles within the mechanisms of justice shifted towards a humanised ideology, one in which ‘criminal’ is not seen as a permanent disposition but understood as something that can be changed. As such, prisons were built to incarcerate and discipline the soul of offenders. This transition from a condemned body to a condemned soul is debatable within the British prison system since its denial and restriction of basic physical comforts punishes the body as well as the soul.

In the late 18th century, British utilitarian thinker Jeremy Bentham developed the Panopticon – a circular design featuring a central platform from which a single officer could covertly observe all the prisoners. This ocular centric approach made prisoners agents of their own subjugation. Bentham visualised the Panopticon as ‘a mill for grinding rogues honest’, or what we would now prefer to describe as rehabilitation. Despite attempts at a ‘New Wave’ attitude towards prison design during the 1960s, this method of static surveillance has continued to dominate our definition of prisons and attitudes towards deterrence and punishment since. ... In February this year, David Gauke, Justice Secretary, called for a ‘national debate about what justice, including punishment, should look like’. By addressing the public there is a clear intent to change the very foundations that resist architectural innovation of prison design. This discussion must continue if we are to realise our transformative ambitions.

The Evolution of British Prisons and its Social Importance

Despite having had two centuries to evolve, prisons are amid a crisis. The prison population in England and Wales has risen to 82,000, meanwhile the number of prison officers has dropped to 21,000 partly due to the 158% rise in violence towards staff since 2014. In November 2015, Chancellor George Osborne recognised the prison crisis by announcing that £1. billion will be spent on building 10,000 new prison facilities as part of a wider prison reform agenda. However, these ‘new’ prisons are based on a 250-year old model that has, until recently, remained unchallenged.

Introduction figure 14. Halden Prison communal area.

‘You’ve got to think about designing prisons, maybe even that’s the wrong terminology, we should be braver and talk about designing a space for offenders, rather than calling it prison, maybe getting away from the word prison which has negative connotations is the solution. Getting at the heart of it, it’s the hardest thing to sell, we all know it’s the right thing to do, the way to make to make a difference, but it’s the hardest thing to sell. It’s bigger than reality, it’s perception. The narrative needs to change. The question is how would you design it for yourself, how would you design it to help you cope? You’re still going to be confined, but how would you build it around yourself?’

MArch ARCHITECTURE

The MArch (RIBA Part 2) course at SSoA is one of the most innovative and influential in the country. It prepares students to be enterprising, employable and to use their skills to the benefit of people’s lives. At the heart of the course is a range of specialist design studios and our innovative ‘live projects’ programme, offering excellent opportunities for students to develop graduatelevel research by design. Students also have the opportunity to specialise further by taking a dual accredited MArch course with Town and Regional Planning (MArch/TRP) or with Landscape Architecture (MALA). The innovative Collaborative Practice route offers students the opportunity to integrate their MArch studies with continued experience in architectural practice. Modules in humanities, management and technology offer students the opportunity to enhance their design projects and wider learning through focused research, academic writing and critical reflection. Further opportunities to explore specialist lines of enquiry are offered by the fifth year option modules that focus on aspects of urban design, digital design, sustainability and conservation. The SSoA MArch is shaped by its emphasis on collaboration, social engagement and ‘liveness’. This begins each year with live projects and continues in design studios that collaborate with community partners including local councils, grass roots organisations and arts programmes. Projects evolve that are ambitious, innovative and respond to the complexity of real-life conditions. This year, studios have investigated situations and scenarios based along past, present and future timelines, providing opportunities to test alternative visions for an uncertain societal and climatic world. Fifth and sixth year students work together in design studios, to explore these current challenges and future opportunities in architecture. Students are encouraged to develop a critical approach to the production of architecture in contemporary society. The design studios offer students the freedom to experiment and develop their own lines of enquiry while being supported by tutors who bring excellent specialist research and practice experience. The fifth year offers students the chance to develop rigorous design enquiry skills through the design of complex buildings. The iterative process of design is valued, as well as the outcomes, and students are encouraged to develop their individual interests, ways of working and attitude towards architecture and the role of the architect. Sixth year students then develop individual or joint thesis projects, exploring research questions through architecture at a range of scales. Students are encouraged to be canny, ambitious, and enterprising so that they can not only negotiate and respond to the challenges of our time, but also lead on what ‘Future Practice’ might be: a practice that can listen, negotiate and advocate clients’ and users’ needs in order to produce architecture of excellence.

Studio Arrival City “Migration is an expression of the human aspiration for dignity, safety and a better future. It is part of the social fabric, part of our very make-up as a human family.” - Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General A great and final shift of global population is upon us. We will end the century as a wholly urban species. Seen by many in the West as a threat, this rural to urban migration will have profound implications on Europe’s geopolitical landscape and the lives and well-being of all involved. Since the outbreak of Europe’s refugee crisis, Milan has become a major transit point for those landing in southern Italy heading to northern Europe to be reunited with family or to look for work. As more and more northern European countries close their borders, Milan is changing from a point of transition to a point of arrival for many migrants. Taking the San Siro neighbourhood as an initial point of focus the studio has continued to explore the effect mass migration and urbanisation is having on our cities, focusing on the notion of the Arrival City. Operating as transitional spaces for those entering the city, Arrival Cities in the words of Doug Sanders (author of Arrival City), are the places where the next great economic and cultural boom will be born. Special thanks to Ida Castelnuovo, Francesca Cognetti and everyone at Mapping San Siro / Politecnico di Milano who were so generous with their time during our time in Milan.

01 Jaimie Claydon - Work it Out Recognizing Milan’s underrepresented existing network of entrepreneurs and a generational shift in workplace design expectations, ‘Work It Out’ is a start-up incubator and neighbourhood regeneration plan encouraging social integration and local economic growth through knowledge exchange, start-up facilities and digital manufacturing. At the heart of the scheme, a hub of innovation brings together digital manufacturing workshops, co-working and spaces for learning and knowledge exchange to encourage integration, learning and the development of local business potential. Reflecting the program of facilities, the hub is designed with digital manufacturing in mind with the central atrium making use of 3D printing to create a unique central knowledge sharing and circulation core and perforated CNC panels externally expressing the usage of digital manufacturing within architecture.

02 Thomas Cunningham + Tobias Mackrill - The Retention Centre Global mass migration has coincided with an unprecedented growth in support of far right political parties in Italy. One of which, Lega Nord, uses hateful propaganda to advocate a nationalist and xenophobic stance towards immigration, leading to an unsustainable and potentially hostile situation. Lega Nord have plans to close Italy’s ports to rescue ships, repatriate half a million immigrants and build more detention centres to incarcerate and exploit the disenfranchised. It was through a direct reaction to this inhumanity that the concept of a Retention Centre was born. The Retention Centre seeks to nurture arrivals by granting them the facilities to overcome barriers such that they can make an informed, voluntary decision to remain. The project aims to foster the bilateral exchange of skills and cultures to emphasise how symbiosis between native and foreign populations will lead to mutual prosperity. Whilst acknowledging that a single building alone cannot solve a global crisis, we intend to use architectural design to communicate how a progressive and inclusive standpoint can influence wider political discourse.

03 Emily Glynn - Trovare Casa Trovare Casa, a new mode of travel agency, translating directly to ‘finding home’, aims to provide a meaningful platform to aid those in the process of arriving, offering temporary support and services to facilitate onward and upward movement of the transit migrant population of Milan. We aim to achieve this by challenging existing facilities and playing on the ideals of a ‘holiday’ to create a temporary escape and destination. 04 Farhana Jiwa (TRP) - The San Siro Charter Urban spaces have increasingly become the territory of negotiation between public and private interests, yet the physical solutions remain stubbornly uniform. The neighbourhoods of San Siro typify these forces, but also present an opportunity: to reinvent the city and reanimate its essence. The San Siro [Design] Charter sets out guiding principles for the project through a critical analysis of the CIAM 4 and Athens Charter. The building programme challenges and rethinks the ideal of a ‘Functionalist City’ through the its four functions: Habitation, Leisure, Work and Connectivity. By re-appropriating these principles, the project promotes the humanism of rationalist functionalism, creating inclusive growth and encouraging natural and cultural conservation.

05 Clare Mckay - Reclaiming Luxury Musing on ‘everydayness’ and the squeezed modernist space standards underpinning San Siro, the project speculates on the creation of a new ‘neighbourhood luxury’; taking the functions of the everyday and elevating them to become spatially and temporally luxurious. Drawing from the context, three forms of luxury are conceptualised - dining, bathing, and imagining each interpreted in multiple forms of private, semi-private, and collective luxury. These begin to alter the rigid urban grain of San Siro, deconstructing and reinhabiting a pair of concrete frames, and redefining a new street edge - announcing the gift of time and space for the everyday back to the residents of San Siro. 06 Samantha Mooney - The Souk of San Siro In a future where material scarcity is an inevitability, the frivolity of fast fashion will no longer be indulged in its current form, and the industry needs to adapt to match a changing climate. In response, The Prada Group have commissioned the The Souk of San Siro: a state of the art facility which demonstrates how a circular economy can be achieved through the reuse, up-cycle and re-sale of unwanted, unsold or worn out clothes, reducing reliance on raw materials. The complex will also host a pioneering research facility where the materials of tomorrow will be discovered, paving the way to a sustainable future. 07 Daniel Bruce - Arrival City: Fes el Bali The term migrant has dehumanised the act of improving one’s life, this project aims to celebrate it. Europe’s anti migrant agenda led me to Morocco, the point of departure from Africa for some West African migrants but increasingly also a final destination. A phased approach exhibited the social mobility of a migrant community. Beginning with work/live units serving the food of West Africa. The project allows for changes in profession, increasing family size and the support of a larger migrant community through further work/live units and public outdoor spaces. Through a self build framework the building becomes a manifestation of the human endeavour often demonised as economic migration.

10 Bethany Lodge - San Siro Story Exchange In certain contexts, the term ‘Migrant’ has become a catch all term. This socially constructed perception of a ‘migrant’ has become divisive in fulfilling political agenda and restricting the integration of the migrant population as their status becomes their identity. The Project is a platform in which people can gather and exchange their individual stories of self. The project facilitates storytelling on a variety of scales utilising architecture as an active storyteller rather than just a vessel for programmatic functions, dismantling preconceptions and educating a community to see each other as people rather than the ‘migrants’ or ‘Italians’ that they are reported as. 11 Samuel Myatt - Now Here : A Rival City Set in a speculative future, where Europe continues to become more insular and the predicted number of global migrants increases as a result of a tumultuous climate, Now Here becomes an anarchic extra-territorial city that exists outside of the geopolitical framework. The establishment of a floating city becomes revolutionary, moving to the migrants and becoming self-sufficient through the harvesting and purification of water, inhabiting the semi-industrial relics resulting from the fall of Oil. The project juxtaposes scales of spaces, from the industrial processes required to allow a city to function to the idiosyncratic nature of everyday life and inhabitation. 12 Li Mei Tan - Il Nostro Piccolo Spazio (Children Centre) San Siro is a temporary stop or even a new home for many migrants. During the displacement, some children migrants lost their closed ones, or some children were alone throughout the journey. From our site visit and research, we learned that San Siro doesn’t have many fun places for the children. Hence, a children centre is designed for the neighbourhood to help the children’s child development. Four play elements were used to connect the living and learning spaces. It helps stimulate the children’s mind and body, also educate them to learn and adapt different culture and environment from each other.

08 Say Yin Chuah - Avenue Aretusa, The Community Public Realm San Siro is significantly occupied by immigrants which causes complex social issues. However, communities have always held events to promote interaction. Therefore, the project aims to enhance this opportunity, by merging the landscape with architecture to form an attractive public realm so that it could create spaces for more activities and invite people to come together, regardless of their ages, races and background which consequently reduce social issues. Form is explored in the design process in order to rejuvenate life into the neighbourhood by bringing new organic form that will blur the boundaries of landscape and architecture, indoor and outdoor.

09 Jonathan Foulger - The San Siro Guilds This project seeks to explore the notions of self governance and mutual-aid, and how they relate to the formation of migrant communities within San Siro. Using the notion of guilds as a primary precedent for the formation of a series of nested institutions, and with reference to the idea of ‘the commons’, the resultant typology is of a reinterpreted town hall that responds to existing initiatives and practices of the residents. Focus is given to a variety of gathering chambers which inform spaces for the provision of training and education drawing inspiration from the historical specialisation guilds stood for during their most prosperous times. 06

Studio Collaborative Production The overarching studio theme begins with a belief that the prevailing economic model of speculation and consumption is broken. The consequences of years of industrial exploitation of resources is especially apparent in the Don Valley on the eastern edge of Sheffield, where the studio is located. Initial discussions about post-capitalist social theory stimulated ideas as to how an alternative model of society might emerge – one based on interdependency, social capital and local value. Consideration was given to how automation is changing the nature of labour and production, and the way people engage with local governance, education and culture. Individual projects have explored the opportunities these emergent technologies create, with a more bottom-up approach to fabrication and the exchange of goods and services, creating architecture which enriches people’s lives, is socially inclusive and is protective of the environment. The notion of collaborative production has defined the working methodology of the studio, with students working together; sharing resources, ideas and approaches. A detailed investigation of the Don Valley corridor and its surrounding communities has been undertaken in order to understand the place, its history and its possible future. Using projection mapping and assemblage techniques the studio constructed visual narratives as a way of recording, analysing and representing the initial research findings. From this the studio developed a shared spatial framework, which individual projects have been able to use to interface spatially, functionally and economically as part of a sustainable neighbourhood linked through a network of shared green energy and smart technologies. Existing lines of derelict and underutilised industrial infrastructure have been reimagined to create a network of active green corridors, linking across the city.

Dykes - Tinsley Viaduct Free-Zone Existing in a speculative future which explores shared futures of the Don Valley cancelled by neoliberalism and capital, the FreeZone grows out of the rubble of the past. Anchored to the Tinsley Viaduct, a double-decker kilometre-long bridge on the nowredundant M1 motorway infrastructure, modes of production and society from a pre-Thatcherite Don Valley are resurrected and accumulate over time. Hard-tech mechanised processes form a framework that facilitates the transgression of its limits by softertech infill, prioritising indeterminacy and flexibility and allowing arriving inhabitants a high degree of control over the production and use of space. 02 Jamie Griffiths - Breakerspace The project imagines a period of transition toward a leisure society in the United Kingdom, in which there is full automation of the means of production and humans are relieved from the necessity of labour. In the absence of productive work, people seek meaning and purpose through the practice of disassembly, subverting the process of production and manifesting their dissent against the machine in hidden communities. One such community can be found in Attercliffe, a town in Sheffield’s Don Valley with a profound history of production and manufacture, where people now salvage surplus product from the region’s automated factories in order to disassemble it in so called ‘breakerspaces’. 03 Richard Rothwell - After the Flood Climate breakdown is the most serious issue of our time. By 2050, Sheffield will be 4.4 degrees warmer than it was in 1970, causing a dramatic increase in extreme weather events. The project imagines a future where the Don Valley has been proactively flooded in response to this crisis, facilitating the development of a communal wetland landscape. Inhabiting the interstitial edge where the water meets the land is the campus for a new research institute, with temporary outposts throughout the valley integrating PhD research with exciting public functions to facilitate interactions between Sheffield’s population and the cities heritage of innovation. 04 Ifigenia Ioannou - Project:WasteLand Project:WasteLand, situated in 2030, is dealing with issues of carbon emission reductions, construction waste and material reuse through the re-governmentalisation of the Building 01

The University of Sheffield School of Architecture

Regulations Establishment (BRE) as the implementing and regulatory authority of new legislation voted in 2028 that prohibits complete building demolition, mandates material reuse and design for deconstruction. Located in Attercliffe Innovation District, in Baltic Works, one of the oldest steel works in Sheffield, this new BRE National Centre for Reuse and Deconstruction is aiming to become a symbol of excellence on sustainable practices and material reuse and at the same time to spearhead a fundamental change in the construction industry. 05 Tom Hattan - Attercliffe Square It’s 2030 and the new “Attercliffe Square” development has given Attercliffe a new purpose. Elements of live, work and play blend seamlessly to create a new sense of place for the community. Ribbons of green and blue infrastructure bring nature into the city, providing spaces which naturally encourage exercise and social interaction. The building frames the re-energised Adelphi Theatre and celebrates Attercliffe’s rich steel heritage with tall raking steel columns and walkways. Now seen as a destination in its own right, drawing visitors and spearheading regeneration in the wider Don Valley, Attercliffe in 2030 is a very different place... 06 Sarah Edwards - Centre for Renewal Centre for Renewal looks towards a society where technology and robots have changed the nature of labour and production. The project questions the balance of work versus leisure within the Don Valley, addressing imminent worries about automation within the future workplace and the effect this has on personal wellbeing. Displaced workers and CFR members actively improve wellbeing through closed loops of activity emanating the ways to wellbeing of connecting, being active, being curious, learning and giving back. Centre for Renewal acts as a central hub to reconnect communities by tapping into existing infrastructure through a network of stationary and movable machines that disseminate knowledge and skills across the valley. 07 Travis Alan Mills - The Peoples Research Institute of Naturally Grown Living Elements (P.R.I.N.G.L.E.) P.R.I.N.G.L.E. sets a new standard for public research in 2025. Set alongside the Tinsley Canal, the active landscape, invites the public to engage with the production and research of Bio Composites. Working in 10-year cycles, P.R.I.N.G.L.E. can reconfigure due to the mycelium construction technique. The heart of the building is the café space. Through the production of food for local consumption, the wasted root structures can be utilised in the bio-composite research. With current disconnect of societal groups identified, the building weaves together themes of diversity, research and inclusivity. This in turn creates a building which meets the demands of locals and international business partners.

09 Will Beesley - The People’s Vanadium Assembly Attercliffe’s Banners Building is re-imagined to provide energy and data storage alongside a local government facility. A new form of battery is scaled up to store electricity from local renewable energy sources in liquid Vanadium. A rotating government encourages public engagement and the use of data in intelligent decision making is celebrated. The physical manifestation of the intangible ensures people remain connected to these issues as well as each other, in order to tackle issues of alienation, inequality and scarcity. 10 James Paul - Darnall Printworks Situated on the site of the former Darnall Crucible Works, Darnall Printworks seeks to answer the question: What next for Sheffield Steel? To combat the decline of steel production and employment in the Don Valley, emergent technologies such as 3D printing steel are being utilised to reinvigorate the area. To reconnect people with Sheffield’s industrial heritage, whilst also inspiring future generations, the building combines the manufacturing process of 3D printing steel - from scrap reprocessing through to the final printing - with educational facilities for both the public and students to be tutored, with the neighbouring landscape providing a space to test and make ideas. 11 Xingyu Zhou - Olympic Utopia Creating a bridging corridor across the Sheffield / Tinsley Canal, the project aims to create a sports-themed living community, with 14 one-bed apartments, 28 two-bed apartments and 49 independent accommodation units. With a massive fitness themed community complex, the Olympic Utopia improves the training quality of athletes using the nearby Olympic Legacy Park, by providing them with a more comfortable and efficient training environment. The utopia drives a new sports theme for both the region and Sheffield city centre by promoting the redevelopment and expansion of the Olympic Legacy Park.

12 Xuanru Chen - Follow the Street As a celebration of street culture, Follow the Street aims to change people’s perceptions of graffiti away from vandalism. A series of cubes mimics the landform of the site, creating an outdoor landscape area which is free and open for all members of the public to access and experience. The interior spaces cater to specific parkour training and practice, with the central ‘floating’ cube acting as a half indoor / outdoor gallery for both graffiti artists and residents to get involved in. Follow the Street plays a crucial role in the transition of graffiti and parkour away from their current perceptions to becoming art and sport. 07

08 Musa Alam - The Biohacker’s Haven In an age where human control rests in the hands of the global technological giants and with growing concerns surrounding data harvesting and protection; the scheme seeks to empower the Don Valley community to take action. Renouncing the implants provided, in favour of developing their own technology. Taking back control of their data by establishing a research centre, founded on public engagement. The Biohacker’s Haven draws like-minded individuals to its beacon, to experiment with the hybridisation of man and technology (Biohacking), within its adaptive and transparent environment. Pushing the boundaries of human achievement towards health, physical ability and strength of mind.

Studio Ecosystem City The ecosystem city studio operates in the context of Anthropocene, the proposed new epoch in which human activity is considered to have such a powerful impact on Earth systems that it will leave a long-term signature in the rocks. We are asking: What are our responsibilties as architects, at a time on the brink of environmental disaster when climate change and loss of biodiversity threaten our existence? The central idea for the studio is Mikhail Bakhtin’s idea of polyphony used to redefine the city community as a multi-voiced narrative of all living organisms including human and non-human voices. This inclusive city community opens new interpretations of urban sustainability and resilience, and understanding of the city as a biologically rich and active natural environment where humans and non-humans can not only coexist, but also thrive. In this scenario, humans, plants and animals are all engaged in the constant dialogue through negotiation and transformation. The studio’s ambition is to insert architecture and architects as active participants into this dialogue, and examine our role in the construction of this radically inclusive city community. We explored edgelands, defined as overlooked places in-between, voids, no man’s lands in cities, where nature thrives. Our site was located at the canal in Sheffield and we visited Madrid to study the rewilding of the Manzanares River as an example of a biodiverse urban environment.

01 Dandan He - The Darnall Food Hub The project offers the community a chance to see, learn, grow, cook, eat and celebrate food in a lovely environment. It grows food and encourages the community to grow food in their own garden with a hydroponics system. It aims to encourage a better lifestyle to reduce human’s activities’ pressure on climate change. To best use the richness in nature, the project created internal and external spaces that interact with the canal. Most of the ground is freed up for nature. A lifted multifunctional external space could engage with different groups of the community with various activities. 02 Sanjukta Jitendhar - Feminist Methodology of Care This thesis uses a feminist methodology of care to radically and systematically challenge and subvert capitalism, through nurturing sustainable, just, responsible and equitable living for all. The capitalist’s way of regeneration of our communities can never ‘trickle down’ and help those most in need. We must build an alternative if we are ever to reduce human inequality and effects of climate change on species extinctions. This proposal through provision of spaces for ‘care for yourself’, ‘care for eachother’ and ‘care for things’ aspires to build a resistance of anti-capitalism for a community that is demanding a change in the system. 03 Melissa Kirkpatrick - The Creative Laboratories This thesis draws upon Sheffield’s industrial history, proposing a new approach to industry and R&D. In the age of the Anthropocene, collaboration between arts and science disciplines is crucial in developing sustainable technology, and the Creative Laboratories provide facilities to develop and utilise food wastebased bioplastics which can be 3D printed and composted. The scheme provides ‘design labs,’ hybrids between laboratories and design studios, workshop facilities and educational exhibition space. The design explores how these development processes can be open and shared with the general public, strengthening collaboration amongst all. 04 Sixiang Wang - Teen Centre The project is a teens’ centre related to metal recycling and reprocessing. Scrap metals will be refined into metal elements by microbial metallurgy and processed into semi-finished materials. Teenagers can gain design and making skills in the centre, then create and design metal works freely with diverse workshops. Their artworks will be displayed in the gallery and sold in the shop. The greenhouse provides a leisure space in addition to clearing up waste gas from metal recycling. Furthermore, an additional metal façade produced by the building itself will be designed and fixed by teenagers gradually. 02

05 Zhangxiufu Wu (Wayne) - Anxiety Treatment Centre Project site is a green edgeland that is located beside Sheffield canal, with potential of combining architecture and landscape resources to form an open, calm and interactive environment for anxiety patients and maximize the opportunities for horticultural mental therapy and mental rehabilitation. The design strategy is to create a long-lasting steel frame structure, with pre-fabricated capsules in various sizes inserted in the structure, which enriches the interior internal experiences. A parametric timber Gridshell roof will cap the whole structure with control of solar gain, and provides soft, calm and caring atmosphere for the courtyard greeneries underneath. 06 An Lu - Aquaculture and Angling Centre The project is about using (angling and eating) and producing fish (aquaculture) on site. The design idea comes from dealing with a steep level change and a pylon on site. By only using external piles underground and a flexible truss structure connect ed to it, the building will have minimal impact to the existing site. The building will be easy to remove and add parts in the future. The main corridor of the building, as a medium between road and site, is a space for the public communication and transportation to other places. Moreover, there is one outdoor corridor for connecting the road and canal side walk to build an additional connection between canal and site. 07 Athirah Azhar - Modus Operandi Of The Epoch : Anthropark AnthroPark is a new world of ecological alliances for human life, inspired by anthropocene and Bakhtin’s idea of polyphony which are reflected on the carnivalesque theme. The building will act as a poetic landmark of Sheffield that represents symbiotic homogeneity with its existing biodiversity in the ecosystem. A combination of innovative technology and architecture to form a future between the park and city in which the waste-to-energy plant will expand by turning it into a leisure theme park and extreme sports destination. The waste-to-energy plant will turn household rubbish into electricity and heat which can be exported straight to the local grid.

10 Samuel Morley - Darnall Algaeworks This project takes on the design concept of polyphony, using the needs of all living creatures within the ecosystem to drive the design process and transform abandoned pockets of urban landscape into ecological havens. The proposals are forged from stitching together methods of biomass growth to create dynamic, man-made ecotones which can be steadily maintained and harvested. The bio-masterplan feeds into a central power station to fuel the production of electricity for Sheffield’s industry, from which the wasted heat and CO2 are captured to promote growth of microalgae for biodiesel fuel in an overhead tensile cloak. 11 Alice Howland - Ottertecture The building proposed is a new headquarters for the Canal and River trust, an adventure playground for the children of Darnall and a new habitat for Sheffield’s returning otters. This project provides various redirected routes towards the canal, which also offers hidden views to the ‘otter islands’ on the offside part of the canal. The building encourages children to understand what it would feel like to be an otter, through the use of tactile materials and dark spatial experiences. E-Concrete and biological panels promotes the growth of new plants and organisms, provides new habitats for wildlife and allows the building to adapt and respond to the changing seasons.

08 Nikolay K Runtev - Sheffield’s Gardens of Eden The project explores the idea of polyphony, or giving the opportunity to all living and nonliving things to collectively take the role of the client. To celebrate its unique biodiverse location at the previously industrial Tinsley’s Canal in Sheffield, the project seeks to offer a “hub-space” alongside the canal, which would serve as a Biodiverse Research / Gardening centre, where people could come and learn about biodiversity, gardening and how to assemble your own gardens at home. The intervention is a hybrid space for human interaction internally and being living garden externally with some parts of it accessed by boats.

09 Isabelle Chamberlayne - Carnivalesque Playscape By combining intergenerational housing with habitats and outdoor play, Carnivalesque Playscape reimagines highly inclusive cities that do not revolve around humans. The scheme replaces suburban zoning with a rich and surprising landscape that encourages children to explore their neighbourhood and foster a deep care for the environment. In a bid to retain the majority of the site’s pioneering ecology, the project extends over an elevated landscape with a series of curated interactions between humans and nun-humans. By embedding social housing in the edgelands, Carnivalesque Playscape readdresses the imbalance of green and healthy communities being reserved for the wealthy, and raises the benchmark for other housing providers. 05

FORGE THE FUTURE HQ

This year Studio in Residence explored the capacity of play in Sheffield to engage, educate and empower citizens, of all ages, in the future of their city. We believe that play is an essential part of the human experience, a form of expression that engages the imagination, brings people together and fosters a healthy society. Play, however, is under threat – technology, traffic and lack of urban space limit children in the free, open-ended play that is so important for their development. For adults also, the growing precarity of employment, the blurred lines between work and leisure and, not least, the societal expectations of being a ‘grown-up’ make it increasingly difficult to play. Our site extended Sheffield’s ‘Steel Route’, a line through the city centre from The Moor to Pitsmoor, connecting areas of regeneration, dereliction, civic institutions, heritage, infrastructure and neighbourhoods. Based at Live Works, SSoA’s ‘Urban Room’ on The Moor, the Studio worked ‘in residence’, developing a close relationship with the site and the people who live, work and play there. The studio explored the opportunities that play brings to architecture as an activist design research method, imbuing socially engaged projects with the experimentation, fun and risk-taking that playfulness demands. This year In Residence projects have already been exhibited in Burngreave Library, in Dessau as part of the Bauhaus 100 celebrations, and again soon in Spital Hill Tesco.

“THE HQ SHOULD BE LIKE A FACTORY OF IDEAS, ACTIVE AND COLOURFUL, COMPLETELY OPPOSITE TO THE MOORFOOT COUNCIL BUILDING NEXTDOOR!”

01 Anna White - Sheffield Youth Takeover: Forge the Future! Years of drastic cuts to youth services have resulted in shocking knife crime statistics and declining young mental health across the UK. Teenagers are neglected by and excluded from the city. It is time for them to reclaim their space and voice! We are launching The Sheffield Youth Takeover, proposing a headquarters for youth-led city design and activism and a series of installations transforming neglected parts of the city. Challenging the traditional individual student thesis, this is a ‘live’ project, codesigned via workshops with twelve local teenagers through charity Sheffield Futures and in collaboration with local social enterprise Aalfy, advocating for real change. 02 Adam Tarasewicz & Kimbo Fidelo Sito - Castlegate Carnival Consortium Castlegate Carnival Consortium is a scheme designed to celebrate the different and diverse communities of Sheffield through the various forms of carnival arts and festivals. It aims to mediate and encourage cultural and social interweaving between different communities and build upon the historic legacy of Castlegate as a cultural quarter. The main hub comprises of a festival hall where community celebrations are held throughout the year. This main facility is accompanied by fabrication and textile workshops, a performance centre, an archive, and a dye-making facility. The consortium of buildings aims to transform Castlegate into a vibrant carnival venue that not only celebrates Sheffield’s cultures but also provides a learning hub that encourages and promotes skill sharing between various community groups. 03 Michael McGuinness - The Generator Sheffield is ‘The Outdoor City’ but this sense of healthy wellbeing is focused towards the south. The Generator focuses on the north by extending the Steel Route and connecting physically and socially with the diverse, northern communities. It is not just a place to get fit, it is a place to come for a walk, get healthy eating advice, gardening, group activities and sports. The building is community lead and as public funding is increasingly being reduced, it stays financially stable by using muscle power from its occupants as its energy source.

04 Samuel Letchford - Grosvenor Urban House Inspired by the optimistic ambition of Sheffield’s modernist heritage, the Urban House builds upon the urban room format, bringing collaborative development into the mainstream planning process. As a public facility, the Urban House brings city development out from behind the closed doors of the planning office or architecture studio and into the public realm, encouraging public engagement whilst enabling local architecture schools to realise their potential as agents for positive change in their local community, providing a public frontage for the university in an effort to improve the relationship between architectural theory and practice. 05 Rebecca Smith - The City Rangers Headquaters The City Rangers Headquarters looks at how traditional scouting can be reimagined for an urban context in the 21st Century. The City Rangers organization represents an urban alternative to traditional scouting troops, which introduces alternative activities such as parkour to replace hiking, electronics instead of woodcraft and computer programming to replace map reading. The building was driven by traditional elements of the scouting movement, highlighted by the large scale chimney which houses a fire pit for gathering and cooking. The building acts as a activity centre in addition to a national headquarters for this new organization, encouraging the kids of Sheffield to come together and connect. 06 Lydia Whitehouse - Wicker Island Community School Children are becoming isolated from their environments, through being increasingly removed from city centres and relying more heavily on adults to get around. The Wicker Island Community School aims to reverse this, transforming Sheffield’s historic gateway site and letting children roam free as part of their everyday learning. As the school opens out to its surroundings, it also lets the community back in - doubling as new community buildings, open spaces and learning centres along the Island. The new buildings form a series of flood basins to channel rainwater across the site, allowing kids to also experience nature in their classrooms and learning outdoors. 07 Bryn Davies - The Participatory Planning Department of Sheffield Set in 1979, this project follows the story of the Participatory Planning Department (PPD), a fictional council department who implemented experimental new methods of citizen-led city planning. Unlike typical contemporary planning, which takes place behind closed doors, the PPD set out to make city planning accessible to every single person in Sheffield. Their new office was a completely public building that encouraged people to visit, with classes, exhibitions and drop-in forums that gave the people of Sheffield a platform to share their ideas n the city’s future.

09 Meesam Mirza - Artisan’s co-operative Inspired by the social reforms of William Morris and the arts and craft movement, the Artisan’s co-operative seeks to enrich the experience of the working environment and empower artisans through a worker’s co-operative, giving employees ownership of their business. The co-operative intends to subvert the ideas of zoning distinctions of the modern city, by merging the domestic and working environment. The project aims to provide apprenticeships and training in order to tackle unemployment and create desirable spaces for the production of handcrafted goods within the city centre of Sheffield, establishing an artistic community and encouraging public interaction with the creative industries. 10 Kai Yi Wong - Urban Banquet ‘As buildings lose their plasticity, and their connection with the language and wisdom of the body, they become isolated in the cool and distant realm of vision.’ (The Eyes of the Skin, Pallasmaa) This project studied the five human senses alongside emotions and x-factor which define human interaction and experience and explored architecture’s role in experiencing them. The project used food as the catalyst to celebrate and highlight the cultural diversity in Burngreave, Sheffield whilst also restructuring employment and tackling poverty in the vicinity. The informal ephemera of smells escaping from kitchens and aromas wafting invitingly out of restaurant doors have come to define these urban territories in more meaningful and evocative ways. 11 Michael Jenkins - The Citizens Assembly The Citizens Assembly offers an alternative to the archetypal political infrastructure of the city. It provides a space for the collation of numerous civic institutions that aim to foster the development of debate, deliberation and conversation within communities, including the existing Festival of Debate, a community exhibition and a public radio station. By occupying Sheffield’s abandoned Old Town Hall, the project explores the relationship between the new public function, and the existing symbolism and ingrained memories of suppression, incarceration, power and authority evident in the remaining fabric. New architectural intervention creates a language of accessibility and publicness is within the ruin of the old.

08 Kate O’Brien - Adaptable Ateliers Castle Square Adaptable Ateliers proposes a new type of innovative learning environment for makers at the heart of the city centre. A hybrid of creative studios, public workshops, coworking spaces, material libraries and knowledge libraries as well as group working spaces enable individuals to develop their personal interests while sharing their unique skills with others. Being in the heart of the city allows them to create links with other makers in existing facilities nearby and test ideas with the public. Dynamic moving floors and louvres allow the makers to adapt their studio to their specific needs and facilitates collaboration and cooperation to develop innovative ideas and practices. 04

Studio Intergenerational Architecture Studio Intergenerational Architecture investigated how we can design and evolve appropriate architectural responses for our current and future intergenerational demographic. This included exploring environments for play, learning, living, social interaction, healthcare and civic amenity in the town of Rotherham. Themes were developed through a series of personal exploratory tasks, including reflecting on family heritage, replicating impairments and investigating Rotherham’s history. Subsequently these were used to reveal how an attention to the intergenerational demographic can materialise at all urban scales leading to architectural projects that have an enjoyable and rigorous legacy. Particular passions emerged for celebrating intergenerational and cultural relationships, reimagining elderly care as well as reviving the declining town centre in Rotherham, with work set in both current and future frameworks up to 2040. Adopting a collaborative working method via a Peer Support Group (PSG), the students took an active role in reviewing each project throughout the course of the year. This allowed for an open dialogue about the relationship between what we do and how we ensure individual and collective well-being. The outputs exemplify a thoughtful, appropriate and relevant set of architectural responses which are the culmination of an engaged, productive and supportive cohort.

01 Bradley Sumner - Post Industry Taking a cue from the found, post-industrial landscape of Rotherham, this project proposes the creation of intergenerational houses sited within the post industrial backlands of Rotherham. The project aspires to create connection within residents placing buildings around a series of functional, communal gardens, each one being individually informed by the reading and abstraction of found city space. Aspiring to capitalise on an ingraining of context within space and atmosphere. 02 Arneta Hoxha - A Place for All of Us A Place for All of Us intends to investigate how architecture can become a catalyst for a socio-economic transformation in which better ageing and generating support for the young, the old and everyone in between for Rotherham’s ageing and resultant population is not asked for but is always there. The program will try to develop a collaborative community of intergenerational care, learning and support. It will be a neighbourhood for All of Us.

03 Janani Rajeswaran - The World Foodhouse The World Foodhouse project introduces a fresh food haven for the community. Taking over an existing derelict site in the heart of Rotherham, the Foodhouse is a place to celebrate cultural food and diversity and provides a place to experience culture through storytelling and social gatherings. The project tackles the current fast-food issue and promotes celebration of age, culture, nature and wellbeing by encouraging organic food growth and nutrition. 04 Jingwen Zhang - RotherHome In response to the ongoing economic and demographic trend, Rother Home explores how architecture could facilitate people experiencing ageing and improve individuals’ mental wellness in an urban context. The project also seeks for alternatives to high-rise and high density development. The scheme contains two major programmes, housing for downsizers aged over 65 and community wellness centre serving the whole neighbourhood.

05 Charlie Perriam - The People’s University of the Third Age The PU3A is a worldwide network of educational hubs centred around those who are nearing or newly retired in the year 2040. The project looks to facilitate the active re-use of vacant retail units in Rotherham through the creation of pop-up learning spaces. In line with these principles, a PU3A hub makes use of the former Primark building on High Street, using technological developments to enhance the learning experience whilst also acting as a democratic extension to Rotherham’s public realm. 02

06 Alix Earland - The Intergenerational Collective The Intergenerational Collective is a retirement home incorporated with a kindergarten. The aim is to educate the younger generation whilst collectively addressing the challenges of the aging population using identity and nostalgia to nurture a sense of belonging and civic pride. My approach to nostalgia inspires the occupants to bring treasured objects from their previous homes to trigger memories and stories. Overall, the project fosters a sense of community by bridging the gap between the older and younger generations through creating spaces and opportunities for social interaction and cohesion, whilst simultaneously providing exclusive spaces for privacy, learning and age-appropriate socialising. 07 Katherine Dauncey - PREMA Over the past century there has been a shift from infectious to chronic diseases. Now more than ever, there is a need to focus on the social model of health, when 40% of middle aged people are living with conditions which could have been prevented by earlier action, and 20% of GP appointments are regarding a social issue. Prema aims to make health more of the every day, giving people the information, opportunities and confidence to look after their own health. The design turns the conventional view of healthcare architecture inside-out, by de-institutionalising it and giving it more of a welcoming, human scale. 08 Zuozhi Liu - Rotherham Connections ‘Rotherham Connections’ project proposes a new urban intervention that intends to establish two connections: Physically connecting local infrastructure, college building and local residence zone while sets up reliable relationships between the senior, the young and professional healthcare organisations. Based on the master plan and healthcare strategy of local authority, this project would lead people in different generations to independently live in a healthier life style with accessible professional supports. It is also an experimental project to test if mutual help between the old and young can effectively improve the health level within the community.

11 Abbie Verlaan - Recipe for Rotherham ‘Recipe for Rotherham’ addresses the role of food and recipes as a tool to unite a vulnerable female population. This project challenges the notion of heritage, legacy and consumption, by juxtaposing private respite accommodation for vulnerable women alongside a community recipe library, bakery and dining hall. The project tackles the lack of autonomy for women in Rotherham. By providing both private and public spaces for life outside of ‘work’ and ‘home’, the centre is a place where personal and community identity can flourish. 12 Clare Timpani - FORGE Residential FORGE Residential is an intergenerational, co-housing scheme that not only provides more affordable housing for the city of Rotherham but is 100 percent wheelchair accessible and facilitates aging in place. Why create a scheme that is 100 percent accessible? Because in the words of Jos Boys, “too often we as designers react to diversity instead of planning for it.” We acknowledge that everyone will experience disability at some point, whether that be from an illness or just through aging, so as designers, we should be embracing the diversity of how people use space over their life-span. 13 Louise Morley - Rotherham Social Rotherham Social is a series of skill sharing spaces based in the centre of Rotherham that aims to enthuse and upskill all ages of the local community and through doing so increase the community’s intergenerational interactions. Performances from the skills developed such as a poetry reading or act from the creative writing department are held under the glazed roof timber canopy at the back of the site where people can interact, meet and celebrate the skills gained.

09 Andy Tee - Rotherham Regeneration Visitor Centre Rotherham Regeneration Visitor Centre is a cultural regeneration project as a meeting point between contemporary society and cultural heritage. The scheme reveals the digital preservation program as alternative conservation of cultural heritages beyond material preservation, while the disconnection and incomplete information of existing cultural infrastructure requires a core platform for information exchange and high accessibility of all contents. The interplay of the old and new will not only become a gateway to the town by sharing the identity of place but also destination of waterfront loop. The old chapel is then not lost memories but a new form of legacy.

10 Rosa Turner Wood - Storytelling Rotherham Storytelling Rotherham proposes the design of a space in which to tell stories and also room for a female-led set construction training and workshop. The scheme references the town’s existing architecture, and places emphasis on the use of locally sourced materials, with the aim of delivering a sustainable project for the community. The proposal is a response both to the vilification of the local population by the national media, and also to the national problem of gender disparity within the construction industry.

Studio Landscape + Urbanism Located in and around Newark-on-Trent, a town on the low lying flood plane of the River Trent, we have explored how our smaller towns can adapt to the shifting ground on which they are founded, both physically but also economically and socially. Set within the context of increasing urban migration against the threat of climate change and the impact this will have on the landscape, we explored through a research led agenda, the changes wrought on an urban landscape. Strategies of mitigation over adaption were adopted, looking particularly at the impact of employment, commerce, and education on the sustainable growth of a rural community. Through group and individual studies we developed a network of projects that sought to address the apparent gaps in education, skills and manufacture within the town. Through our projects we explored the landscape as an ‘agent of change, constructed from cumulative change rather than a rigid reality’, which lead to investigations as to how we might develop synergies between landscapes and how we live and work within the modern rural and urban ecology. The studio considered the changes within the demographics of the rural townscape and the impact that this has on the social needs of its inhabitants. The resultant projects, spatially and temporally referential of each other, were wide ranging with a focus on the development of operative communities and how they in turn develop support networks for health and wellbeing, learning, working and living.

01 Antonia Alexandru - Manifesta 14 Manifesta 14, a travelling biennale aiming to create dialogue between art and society, is set to happen in Newark-on-Trent in 2022. The project uses calculated uncertainty to design and manage a sustainable, long-lasting framework in which opportunities for short-term, temporary interventions and varying landscapes exist, alongside a tangible legacy post Manifesta. Playing on the idea of constant change, the project’s permanent frameworks are allowed to be shaped by people, activity and the transient nature of the biennale, as well as the maturing and dynamic landscape. 02 Fanni Csepeli - The New[ark] Route In the commuter town of Newark-on-Trent, academic achievements and social mobility factors are among the worst in the country. The New[ark] Route’s approachable, alternative higher educational scheme challenges the bias that higher educational facilities have to be detached institutions from the city, unreachable for the average citizen. By blending vocational training and academic learning, it hopes to propose a new career route for the UK. The scheme consists of two main parts; an agricultural science department – due to Newark’s extensive farmlands yet minimal workforce in the agriculture sector – and the Newark’s Union; a reimagined student’s union for the public. By generating aspiration and hence opportunities for people of Newark, the project aspires to transform this commuter town into a destination. 03 Alice Grant - The Suburban Commons Can the commons combat loneliness in rural suburbia? Based on Elinor Ostrom’s ‘Governing the Commons’, this project brings together two community groups through downsizing housing and a nursery. By creating common resources, both groups can build a mutually beneficial relationship. Examining the importance of sharing food and knowledge, the central commons and landscapes allows these groups to interact and grow together. At the heart of the masterplan are key landscapes which draw on historic typologies designed to enrich activities of growing, playing, resting and meeting.

04 Caroline Green - A New Home for DEFRA After 2020, in light of ever more compelling information concerning the rate of climate change, the UK government has been forced to create an emergency task-force within the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, exploring and tackling the issues surrounding climate change. Moving toward a more open, collaborative and visible way of working, the taskforce creates a dialogue between public and government on this 02

far-reaching challenge. Newark on Trent will be the new home of DEFRA’s Climate Centre, hosting a spatial programme which supports and enhances the department’s work. This new home for DEFRA provides an opportunity for investment into the town; a continuation of Newark’s story as a meeting point of routes and histories, north and south, civic and civil. 05 Ethan He - The Growing Tower The journey of the project started in the south of Spain. Where the landscape is cover by a sea of endless greenhouse farms. As I reflect on the current food production method, how we use our land, and the impact it has on our landscape. What are the alternative way to produce food? With the ambition to give the landscape back to nature and the public, the project looked into vertical farm, by stacking farming space in a glass tower. Explore the relationship between production and a public realm; the landscape and growing. 06 Connor Kendrick - The Northgate Road Project The concept behind this project is a reaction to the decline of Industry in small towns, replaced with commuter belt housing for larger urban centres. Combined with the challenge of increasing threats of climate change and its effects on flooding. Responding to these challenges by proposing a development which creates efficient industrial areas with affordable housing, knitted together by landscape architecture designed to clean stormwater and embrace and celebrate industrial production. This scheme is designed to stimulate the local economy in sustainable development, increasing the social mobility of the residents of Newark-on-Trent. 07 Emma Koch - New Water, New Age ‘New Water New Age’ is the Canal & Rivers Trust’s relocated Head Office and an ‘Exhibition of Water’; exhibiting the significance of our waterways and the future challenges we will face due to changing demand and climate. The project forms valuable, free public realm which express’ water and enhances the relationship between the Trent and town in order to highlight the importance of water and celebrate its potential. New Water New Age is a statement by the Canal and Rivers Trust UK which uses water as the key design driver and shows how integrated architecture and landscape design is the way forwards to respond to future predictions of increased flooding and climate change. 08 Sam McMillan - The (New)Archipelago Using flood resilient architecture as a model to integrate waterside communities in UK towns in an era of increasing climate change and polycentric culture. The British town is becoming increasingly prone to loss of identity. Whether a seaside destination, a river town or an ex industrial settlement the millennial population of today are either drawn to the ever evolving polycentric cities or alternatively to the quaint postcard village. Flood resilient architecture can help utilize at-risk, waterside sites and act as a tool for creating environmentally auspicious schemes. In addition these schemes are place making and seek to re-invigorate social welfare by providing private and social housing, enriched with shared facilities for use by the wider community.

a nutrient-rich substrate found below the waterline colloquially known as spoil. Delivered to site by barge, it is drained, heat treated and eventually sold to farmers. Situated beneath the Newark Northern Bypass viaduct, a dedicated research arm and soil archive operated by Nottingham and Lincoln University, explores the latent potential of soil with specialisms in agrology and the development of new antibiotics. 10 Diana Rosca - The ReMakery The scheme, developing on the introductory exploration of capitalism and its global consumer framework, generates an architectural intervention which aims to facilitate a re-engagement of its users, residents and passersby with the process of making. At the same time, I wished to introduce a new “informal” and friendly position towards waste management within a local (town) context; and design a mixed facility which would increase awareness of waste pollution. By doing so I hoped that the consumer, being active within the process of production, is able to take an active role in reducing global consumption. 11 Nikola Yanev - The Herbal Walk This is a manifesto project that is not ecological in appearance, but it is ecological in its aspirations. The Herbal Walk is a herb processing centre and brings the social and natural world together. It uses herbs as a tool to explore how landscape can empower a small town’s identity and visualise the impact of flooding and climate change. The project takes on ‘walking’ as a methodology and sees ‘walking’ as a social practice. It is a performative everyday act asserting place and identity. By combining the industrial requirements of a herb processing centre, with social spaces such as a tea-making workshop space, a tearoom and greenhouses where the growing is exhibited, the project affirms that exchange occurring through cultivation can unite human life and nature.

12 Hongcheng (Carrie) Yin - The Curiosity Cabinet The Curiosity Cabinet is an antiques restoration centre which embraces the cultural value of human history. Newark is an important national centre for antiques, this building becomes a focus for this activity. The project transforms the old Robin Hood hotel into a ‘curiosity cabinet’ with the new building housing the educational studio space and archive. The varied program allows for a wider audience to engage with culture and heritage, understanding the importance of heirlooms as a social memory. Brick patterns and textures cast in to concrete echo memories of the historic town. The plan form alludes to the urban grain, laneways and ginnels of the town centre location.

09 Adam Rich - Mercia Siltworks It is projected that within 30-40 years our agricultural soils will have become biologically inert from overcultivation and pesticide use, putting our environment, and food security at risk of collapse. The Mercia Siltworks proposes to augment natural alluvial processes and replenish soil with silt from the River Trent; 09

Studio Learning Culture This year, studio Learning Culture have explored alternative ways of learning and asked; What are the opportunities for people who do not or cannot engage in mainstream education? In response to the question, we began by investigating the notion of alternative provision; as an educational system and a potential for other forms of learning, exploring the spectrum of learning and education, to reveal new areas for investigation, and opportunities for hybrid learning. These realised opportunities and teaching pedagogies form the foundation of each students work. To begin the exploration, we created a framework that each students’ project adhered to, which ultimately aided us in developing a coherent and diverse body of work. The notion that If Sheffield City Region, our site, was to become part of the ‘Learning Cities Network’ how might we develop a manifesto that aims to consider the strategic and specific approaches to learning at a city region scale. These core principles outlined collaboratively at the beginning of the year became the underpinning of each student’s individual design work which, in turn, generated outputs which exemplify and showcase a thoughtful, appropriate and diverse set of architectural responses that offer the opportunity of education, in the broadest sense of the word, to people of all ages and backgrounds throughout the Sheffield City Region. 01 Studio Tutors Leo Care 5th Year Students William Bellefontaine Joe Bradley Will Capps Stephanie Davis Jayesh Ellayah Kelubia Onaro Monsicha Simpattananont Lucas Williams 6th Year Students Matthew Drewitt Bethany Willis Juan Ruiz Clavijo Gopinath Shanmugam Steven Msowoya Studio Collaborators Bauhaus, Dessau Andrew Cox, I-School XP School, Doncaster Open House Project Doncaster Civic Trust AALFY Visiting Tutors Lukas Barry, Carmody Groarke Gareth Puttock, Evans Vettori 01 Steven Msowoya - A Lakeside Learning Community Based in Lakeside, Doncaster, the project presents an alternative educational model in which learners live in a community with accommodation, educational and communal facilities provided by a company called ‘ZONE’. Lev Vygotsky’s ‘proximal development theory’ is the learning methodology which underpins the proposal, and buildings are designed to facilitate smooth flow of information and ideas between learners, teachers and the wider community. The relationship between learners and their environment is a central theme, with access to the lake, its wildlife and the accommodation of bats within the building fabric dictating the material, aesthetic and tectonic approaches. 02 Will Capps - DISCVR SHF Discover Sheffield is a project that encourages, facilitates and celebrates the exploration of Sheffield and the cities scenic surroundings, whether it be a place for someone to rest their head after a long day mountain biking up in Parkwood Springs, hosting the Sheffield city Marathon or just offering equipment hire for someone to kayak down the river Don, the building caters for it all. At its core the project represents a piece of sport and community infrastructure situated in a prime position to the North-East of Sheffield.

03 Joe Bradley - Can architecture ‘Thrive’? A design for a lifelong-learning hamlet situated in the idyllic Worsbrough Country Park, built on the principles of The Thrive Approach. This learning hamlet will serve to help children, young people and adults of the wider community of Worsbrough to meet their social, emotional & mental health needs, through close integration with an existing flour mill. The masterplan incorporates the first purpose-built ‘Thrive’ school, alongside a community house. This learning environment will connect into and enhance the existing conditions, whilst catering to the wide range of needs of the people of Worsbrough, ranging from: culinary classes to life skills learning. 04 Bethany Willis - The Redmires Centre The Redmires Centre looks at how architecture, the landscape and a new approach can facilitate and benefit education through experience and improve wellbeing for Sheffield students who do not fit into the mainstream school system and often face permanent exclusion. Adopting a biophilic approach, the centre aims to differentiate from the norms and pressures of a mainstream school and offers education through experiences and excursions to re-engage students in education, improve life skills and their employability. The local vernacular and remanence of trench scars in the area, informs the architecture by settling and revealing itself from within the landscape.

05 Kelubia Onaro - The River Craft Centre This project aims to explore the ‘Lifelong Learning Goal’ of the UNESCO learning city initiative whilst expanding on the transport vision for the Sheffield City Region to include the historic and extensive rivers and canals. Based in Rotherham,a town with a rich industrial heritage, this is achieved through the creation of a facility that allows for a more experiential and immersive form of learning within spaces designed to support the making, testing and research of water crafts to be used within the region’s waterways for transportation and recreation. The project also places an emphasis on collaborative making and learning amongst the students as well as public participation, thereby involving the community in furthering the transport vision for the city region. 06 Monsicha Simpattananont - The Moor Extra Care Apartment Ageing is inevitable! How can the elderly regain their independence and autonomy back? Society today is becoming more mobile resulting in families and friends often being dispersed. Sheffield City Council’s framework builds on the latest research evidence to achieve a city for all ages to maximize the chances of an active lifestyle and healthy ageing. To create an accessible age-friendly city, the proposed scheme offers accessible housing around the Moor quarter with a vibrant high street market, this project promotes new opportunities and a greater diversity into the inner-city as well as offering life long learning opportunities for the elderly, regaining independence and improving quality of life for the elderly. 02

07 Juan Ruiz Clavijo - Lakeside View The project aims at using some of the Learning cultures manifesto objectives of “inclusivity, connectivity and partnership” to create a concept that encourages the community of the Sheffield city region to learn of the effects of global warming by creating a experiential experience across the design. Aided by researchers from public and private sectors, it also aims at revitalising the site by introducing a limnological platform and research facilities looking at terrestrial and aquatic wildlife. The project has a temporal nature within it, it’s programme has been separated from a research based building to an educational one through a 50 year time gap. Within this time-gap, plants are encouraged to “overtake” the architecture thus allowing future generations to learn from the effects global warming has taken on the very structure of the building. 08 Stephanie Davis - Beat Street Beat street is an educational model based in Hexthorpe. The project aim is integration through education, specifically emotional intelligence. The architecture of the music and dance centre embraces the Roma culture to break down the stigma and misunderstandings surrounding it. Throughout the project there is a constant celebration of cultures and these come together so the building itself becomes a collage of combined heritage. The building celebrates the contrasting context between the smallscale residential brick and the bold, unforgiving interruptions of industry, tied together and complemented by moments of decoration influenced by the Romany culture and Hexthorpe’s rich locomotive legacy.

112 Matthew Drewitt - Kelham Island College Kelham Island College, situated in North West Sheffield, is a local community school, founded on the principles of networked learning and immersive learning through emerging VR/AR technologies. The project provides a critique of metaphysical architecture, and offers a vision to enable its return, harnessing future construction technologies and re-embracing our love of historic building ornamentation. In addition to providing a contemporary education, the architecture is also designed to reflect a balance between an immersive pedagogy, and a traditional learning pedagogy. It is hoped that collective dining, sports, debating and cultural space will help unite the local community. 13 Jayesh Elleyah - Abbeydale’s Vocational Workshop Can Sheffield’s history of making create a better learning environment through workshops of up-cycling, recycling and crafting? While there is a high demand for alternative provision in the Sheffield City Region, this project aims at reducing the high rate of exclusions. Being located near to Abbeydale Rd, the site encourages collaboration between groups to visit reclamations yards nearby. By carrying on the tradition of workshop across Sheffield, the children will make use of architectural salvages to build a project of their own, exhibit them to the public for recognition as well as selling their creation as a source of income.

09 Lucas Williams - The Old Town Hall School A 200 student sixth-form T-Level college for finance, accountancy and law. The 18th century listed Old Town Hall is proposed to be renovated and extended. The renovation continues and play against the building’s neoclassical architecture and intends to encourage a ethos of community and slow living. The previous 1950’s extension will be removed to make way for my proposed extension which playfully references the existing facade. Alongside this the attic storey is redesigned, a light-well connects spaces as it extends through the school and the buildings central court room is redesigned as an assembly hall.

10 William Bellefontaine - The Potteric Research Centre This proposal looks to create a University led advance research centre which is open to a wide range of users beyond that of just the researchers and academics. Sat next to the Potteric Nature Reserve in Doncaster, the centre research is focused on sustainability and food production, with various laboratories surrounding a central greenhouse. The landscape was developed to encourage a bio-diverse environment providing various habitats for a range of animals and plants found in the area, acting as a bridge between the existing housing developments and neighbouring nature reserve. 08

11 Gopinath Shanmugam - The Urban Learnscape The architectural amelioration of a lifelong learning space in a neglected town centre uses the Highstreet as an element of spatial and social relations. Inspired by Enthusiasm, Passion, Engagement of an individual and collective value system in a collaborative approach is the new school of life. A cohesive learning environment provided for cognitive and behavioural responses with a contemporary array of flexible Learning spaces such as Lighthouses, Precincts and a Hub. To facilitate alternate learning and improve the lives of excluded school children by offering inquiry-based learning expeditions expected to nurture resilience as well nurtures a sense of self-worth within learners.

Studio Material Amendment To make a material amendment to a site or building is to make a significant adaptation or effect change to the existing situation. The studio began with two coastal fishing communities; Grimsby in Lincolnshire and the Islands of Chioggia and Giudecca in the Venetian Lagoon. Vastly different places but united by the concept of ‘representation’ and a dwindling story of fishing. Venice and its neighbouring islands are globally over represented leading to a problematic mono culture as a touristic travel destination, whereas Grimsby has suffered due to its lack of representation in UK and European politics leading to the collapse of its one time vast fishing fleet and a pressing need to re-invent its industry in a potentially post Brexit economy. The studio asks students to look initially both these places, cross comparing first hand experiences with research and developing a research agenda and architectural proposition that responds in a critical manner. Seeking to investigate how architectural fiction and proposal can interject into complex temporal, political and social issues, the studio has strived to create new realities, fictions and narratives that provoke and prod. Alongside the re-presentation of place, the studio takes representation of architecture as its subject, like a continuous lead running through a pencil, studio MA considers the method of drawing with care, deliberation and experimentation.

01 Cressy Lopez & Jia Wen (Christie) Tan - The Eden Paradox The Eden Paradox facilitates a polemical programme combining; ex-prisoners and opiate production within Grimsby. Functions and processes of the project are derived from developing a narrative challenging the notions of paradise. We have evolved the project through design and theoretical exploration, understanding that paradise is embedded in deep subjectivity, achievable with adequate provocation. Our project is presented as a multi-layered and idealistic realisation of our research question - How Can Architecture Act as a Vessel to Critique Social Paradoxes? The scheme, much like its paradoxical stakeholder groups, merges various architectural typologies, that of factory production alongside communal facilities and housing. This helps to explore the juxtapositions of spaces and the inherent tensions vested within the betwixt. We see our building as ‘Frankenstein’, taking a stance vested within the power of creation. The buildings are a collection of ambivalent elements all perceived to be good to bring about the creation of an oddity. It is a celebration of the gleaning of values across conceptual and architectural frameworks, challenging normative design, arguably an iterative conglomeration of established typologies scrutinized through personalised lens. Architecture is realized as a ‘social act’, a tool for perpetuating change within the society, achieving physical solutions for seemingly intangible problems. 02 Matthew Forbes-Yandi - Embassy for the European Union Set in 2025, during the reign of King Charles III, an embassy, for a delegation of the European Union to his Britannic Majesty’s Government is a hypothetical project aiming to reinterpret the embassy typology, and use a speculative lens to critique the various narratives surrounding Brexit. The project will be used as a vehicle for the discussion around the status of our ports post-Brexit. By declaring Great Grimsby as a special economic zone, in an attempt to maintain the dwindling fishing industry and reverse the fate of the port from its perpetual state of inertia. The embassy uses shared cultural values to bring together its citizens with those from the union, to visually narrate a story, that ultimately affects us all. With the prospect of a post-brexit world on the horizon, we should ask ourselves, what’s next for our relationship between Britain and the EU?

03 Sacha Bennett-Ford - SACRED Carnival of Plastic In the New World of 2050 in Chioggia, The Agnelli Dynasty formed The Sustainable Adaptive Carnival for Rebirth to End Decay. The aim was to transform a site of abandonment. The chosen site, the existing Cement and Salt Factory will take the waste from our oceans to create a new building material through the plastic factory. Alongside this is the craft and performance of SACRED Carnival which serves to relieve the societal tensions of The New World. The Plastic Factory and The SACRED Carnival work together to create a site of renewal using site specific opportunities for a sustainable future.

The sanctuary seeks to create a social context within processes of creating and managing heritage, challenging the notion of representation and aiming to find a middle ground where representations of space are dictated through experience and by the interpreter. Building upon Grimsby’s fish smoking heritage, my project promotes the intangible narrative of the artisan food industry, uniting the edge communities of the North Sea within an artisan food centre.

The project also creates new transitional housing that allows residents that are struggling to stay in Venice temporary respite whilst looking for more permanent accommodation with the assistance of ASC. All of which is delivered alongside a dense Venetian inspired public realm that includes large squares, intimate courtyards and narrow streets, that facilitate the everyday life of Venetians.

06 Jennifer MacFadyen - Venice Auction House There was a kind of pleasing irony in a drawing exercise which saw me extracting pieces of Venice, and so as an abstraction of this, my thesis project proposes the Venice Auction House. In a critique of the commodification of heritage, the Auction of Venice facilitates the extraction and eventual sale of Venetian architectural elements. As Peter Ackroyd announces, Venice ‘traded in goods and people; now finally, it trades upon itself’. The Auction House facilitates 6 phases: Extraction, Evaluation, Restoration, Archive, Auction and Export, each of which relates programmatically to spaces within the project.

07 Joseph Marshall & Ashley Dunford - Foundations This project looks to bring awareness to the salt marshes within the Venetian Lagoon. The marshland found within the Lagoon is one of the most important salt marshes in Europe, due to its sheer size at approximately 550km2, but also because of its valuable habitats and long history of human civilisation. However over the last century more than 70% of the salt marshes have been lost due to erosion from an increase in mass tourism. The salt marshland not only supports biodiversity; but also aids pollutants abatement and hydrodynamic control. Within the heart of the Lagoon stands the Island Torcello, one of the historical birthplaces of Venice, once a wealthy and bustling island in the 10th Century. The project proposes a new model for an arts institution; interested in the intersection between art, science and culture. Underpinning our programme is a philosophy that art and artists can affect change and benefit wider culture and society. Torcello Arts aims to become an influential model for a new kind of art institution, one that works beyond the established structures of the contemporary art world in collaboration with scientists and master/artisans in particular fields, surrounding the subject of salt marshland.

11 Fenella Snudden - Grimsby Smokehouse Grimsby Smokehouse addresses local issues of underrepresentation and lack of social interaction through communal eating and celebration of Grimsby’s traditional food-smoking. The programme consists of a smokehouse, which inhabits the abandoned fish market, and a coffeehouse, a new volume evolved from historical coffeehouses - which were places for discussion and progress. The plan is constructed by placement of chimneys (either smoke cores or hearths), around which food stalls, work areas and gathering places are arranged. Across the street, Grimsby’s derelict ice factory is transformed into a winter garden, which resolves by-products of the smoking process and produces raw ingredients and fuel.

08 Dan Inge Teigen - Gondola Retreat and Education Centre The project aims to spread awareness of the increasing tourism in Venice. The city is on the verge of becoming a theme park for tourists, where the privacy and wellbeing of the locals are neglected in favour of the amusement of visitors. The project found interest in returning Venetian culture to its former self. A comprehensive study was conducted with a particular focus on the gondola, its history and its influence on Venetian tradition. The outcome informs locals of their fading heritage through a gondola retreat and education centre comprised of gardens, various workshops, living quarters and a museum. 09 Elin Keyser - Illusions of Antiquity For heritage and tourism purposes Venice has been confined to its archaic condition and remains static whilst the impacts of industrialization and urbanization on the lagoon create turbulent conditions for the fragile city and its revered facades. The ongoing discussion on how to preserve its unique character forms the backdrop to my exploration of how the city’s next generation should contribute to the city rather than purely inhabiting the architecture of the past. By reinstating pre-existing industry through proposing a brick kiln on the Grand Canal, this project aims to challenge and abstract Venice’s ‘illusion of antiquity’. 10 James Harrington - Centre for Material Culture, City of London Centre for Material Culture, based in the City of London, reimages a city block as a new public thoroughfare and destination bringing together various industries around the application of emerging and developing technologies towards exploring and studying material culture through digital cataloguing, recreation and exhibition of artefact and architecture. Its elevated structural form responds to the upstanding remains of the ancient London Wall and significant in situ archaeology beneath, creating a elevated structure protecting the heritage below and facilitating the inhabitation of the site for centuries to come.

#0609 Raluca Burlacu - The Parallel Production House The Parallel Production House is an institution that addresses the high levels of school drop-out rates and unemployment faced in Marseille, using an alternative education provision within an environment of creative and performance art. The architecture proposes a robust character of enclosure provided through mass and materiality sitting in contrast to the lighter language of the flexible spaces - spaces that intertwine with the solid geometry providing a woven network of alternative means of navigating between spaces and creating a purposely enlarged concourse area where impromptu activities and informal encounters can happen. #0506 Victoria Shu - Cubic Puzzle Youth Centre “When things are ripped apart, you can put them back together.” Puzzle, as the initial idea was the key to observe, link and understand Marseille. The project is located in the North of Marseille, between to two schools. The youth club is promoted as a combination of exposed and enclosed ‘open playground’, but with structure and activity to support it. From the landscape, the project blurs the expectations of inside-outside, sheltered, tempered and warm perforated environmental stages, it is to celebrate the density of the lines, beauty of the structure and complexity of it. Cubes are designed to assemble the building like a puzzle. #0607 Stephani Porfyriou - The Kilns Yard The project is a creative hub of ceramic making, celebrating traditional techniques in Marseille. It complements and enhances the qualities of diverse ceramic art in Marseille through the reinterpretation of traditional hand-made kiln technologies, including biscuit and climbing kilns. The use of the existing steps of the site and the patio offer continuity between inside and outside, allowing the users to have an immediate connection between the two. The Kilns Yard revitalizes the craft culture of ceramics to the people of Marseille while it allows the techniques and systems to be unpacked and exposed to the physical and social fabric of the city. #0510 Vicky Lee - The Homeless Project A reconciliation in the hopes of homelessness and abandoned sites with landscape. The project is looking to promote new opportunities in building independent, fulfilling lives of homeless and vulnerable groups in a future-focused strategy for better neighbourhoods in which they live. Similarly, the restoration is a resemblance of social repair in architectural conservation means, rejuvenating the old, injecting new lives in both people and architecture. Propagating its green vision of the future and adapting to the social needs on a larger scale, it is time when we must develop new sustainability; a time when we need to change the paradigm of public green space in cities. #0602 Karolina Kaminskaite - Untold Tales Untold Tales is a project challenging the current sex work exit programmes which follow the rescue framework, suggesting that exiting is achieved by coaxing or forcing woman out. The proposal and its programme are developed by looking at exiting as a personal and professional strategy. It creates a safe space within the city of Marseille for current, transitioning and former sex workers, while exploring the idea of fiction and the ability to tell your own story - being able to give agency and dimension to historically silenced user groups and the possibility of architecture to facilitate this through the embodiment of storytelling.

#0501 Junsu Fan - The Urban Mixer The Urban Mixer provides an equal use recreation space for the Halle Puget area in Marseille to deal with the equality of the residents and users of this area of the city and the social and physical interactions with each other. Using organized activitiesswimming, spa and petanque, triggers the unplanned casualness to improve communication. Promoting inclusive design, uniform dress and all cubical changing emphasize equal use of different genders, ages, races, religions, transients and residents. The future users of this square will inhabit the space with comfort and dignity. #0508 Hong Bin Ng - l’Institut Gastranomique du Bouillabaisse The love of bouillabaisse is a popular trait shared by the people of Marseille. Adopting the port–city interface, the proposal aims to revitalize and celebrate traditional bouillabaisse dining, sustainably, whilst enhancing port-urban interrelationships. The act of preparation, serving and consuming becomes just as important as the cuisine, the relationship of food and people merges into one. Embracing the tradition of expressive dining experience, bouillabaisse is accessible by everyone, interweaving different walks of life. It is not just about food, but also the celebration of the stories of Marseille - the people, the culture and the tradition. #0505 Celine Chan - The Dynamic Square The project was fully inspired by the my experiences and explorations of trading in Marseille. I experienced suitcase trading at different markets in Marseille, observed the needs of the suitcase traders and the potential usage of the existing market space. The Dynamic Square is a multi- - functional square with the key functions of market, impromptu trading and supporting facilities, helping the suitcase traders to grow the business. The square was designed as a flexible urban living room, for the citizens to enjoy the programmed and unprogrammed activities. It will become one of the most active squares and a focal point along the trading ports of Marseille.

The proposal is spread into three lanes of divergent worlds, the fabrication platform for the game development headquarters. The transition platform for video gaming preventative healthcare and the integration platform that helps gamers start by seeking and collecting golden points in teams to get their ticket into the golden over world where they play missions with local active citizens in order to immerse themselves into the city and integrate with members of society. #0612 Benjamin Yeates - The Marseille Institute of Protest Art The Marseille Institute of Protest Art, MIPA, is home to an NGO dedicated to the conservation and protection of the creative outputs of protest. Protest art is a medium accessible to people of all socioeconomic backgrounds and is a critical part of the French political process. It presents an innovative opportunity with which to unite Marseille’s cultures during a time of political upheaval. Located in the emerging creative quarter of Belle de Mai, MIPA utilises the expertise of local screen-printing ateliers to focus on the conservation, exhibition and educative benefits of protest art’s unique creativity, securely displaying politically charged works to a global audience.

Studio Temporal Places The studio is concerned with dimensions of time, from the persistent to the momentary, and aims to explore the evolution, inhabitation and adaption of particular places through multiple time frames. The studio critically explores the enduring heritage of place, considering long-term issues of identity, continuity and change, whilst simultaneously considering historic places as the setting for everyday life and transient events. For a third consecutive year, the studio has explored the potential of Stoke-on-Trent, a unique polycentric city formed from six adjacent towns that were once a thriving global centre of ceramics production. This year’s focus has been on Burslem, ‘Mother Town’ of the Potteries, and the adjacent communities of Middleport and Longport. Whilst factory closures and a decline in workforce have resulted in a struggling local economy, the area retains much of its nineteenth-century industrial heritage and townscape character, including impressive civic buildings built on past prosperity and a strong local pride still evident today.

00A

The studio’s collective research has revealed the town’s personal stories, industrial processes, social practices, economic fortunes and material character, past and present. Project proposals reimagine empty sites and redundant historic buildings, responding to contemporary issues whilst recognising the significance of history, engaging strongly with the existing urban fabric of the town and drawing upon the Potteries’ distinctive sense of place.

00A Olivia Hellman - Slip casting teacup, sectional study 00B Studio1:1250 plaster cast studies of Burslem 01 Louise Taylor - The People’s Assembly This project raises a critique of the contemporary view of work as toil, rather than self-fulfilment and pleasure. Based within an 18th-Century Grade II* pottery in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, the project examines the work of William Morris and explores his ideologies surrounding socialism, the arts and utopian literature. Positioned within the narrative of Morris’s novel News From Nowhere, the proposal is a reimagined factory amidst gardens – where workers split their time between traditional craft and education through the arts, literature and the study of nature. The existing building is experienced through a series of interventions and a cluster of new structures that adopt an interwoven spatial language that intersperses production and education spaces with beautiful gardens.

02 Will Kreibich - Tonic to the Nation The project explores how an urban festival, and its legacy, can facilitate the experience economy and begin to regenerate the British High Street Post-Brexit. Situated in Burslem, the Festival of Brexit encapsulates three themes emerging from the Brexit debate; disillusionment [Festival of Politics], sovereignty [Festival of Trade] and immigration [Festival of Culture]. The Civic Assembly, the epicentre of the festival, plays host to three key elements, the Citizens’ Assembly, the Single Market Hall and the Cultural Exchange. The building embeds itself within the urban block, activating redundant shopfronts, creating positive urban routes and re-animating the British High Street. 03 Evangeline Martin - Burslem Institute of more than Visual Arts The Institute of more than Visual Arts addresses the lack of recreational participation on offer to the blind and visually impaired in Stoke-on-Trent and presents an opportunity to enrich a cultural experience for all through sensory architecture. The project utilises all senses, through a series of spaces challenging the typical perception of visual art galleries, whilst also providing specialist support facilities for the blind. The proposal will be an exhibit in its own right, situated in the here and now, ready to create an immersive experience that reignites a tactile encounter with the past and supports creative expression for the future through art. 04 Monty Dobney - Institute of Making Homes The Institute of Making Homes provides a radical solution to the housing crisis, building upon and rooting itself within the making culture and strong community spirit of the people and place of Burslem. The institute will drive innovation, encourage collaboration and facilitate community involvement in the research and testing of improved strategies and methodologies for the design, manufacture and construction of homes. The institute inhabits and repairs an existing urban block adjacent to Burslem’s town centre, considering architecture as layers of change and reuse, whilst reconnecting the town through the reintegration of redundant pottery sites, and engaging the community in their redevelopment. 05 Claire Yu - Community Works The Middleport community has suffered from post-industrialisation decline and fragmented by a cash strapped local government and unfinished housing renewal scheme. The Community Works reappropriates a listed calcining mill into a hub that brings life back to decaying heritage and improves community wellbeing through a program of social and recreational activities. The existing building is conserved by exposing the original masonry structure,

providing continuity with the past and a strong sense of place, and complimented by contemporary elements of reconstituted brick and ceramic tile. A central spine cohesively links old and new, and celebrates a connection to nature with panoramic views of the adjoining canal and park. 06 James Rest – Repair Burslem This project seeks to catalyse the repair of Burslem in the context of its declined state following the collapse of its world-famous ceramics industry and subsequent damaging branding as ‘Ghost Town’ of Britain. The proposed scheme addresses material and social repair through a program which accommodates the repair of objects; from ceramics to musical instruments, people; through a social services charity, and the town; through Burslem Regeneration Trust. By upscaling repair and accommodating these diverse types of activities under one roof, their proximity and overlap may inform one another, thereby inspiring the holistic repair of Burslem. 07 Stephen Fisher - Burslem Port The Burslem Branch of the Trent and Mersey canal was once a vital export link for the ‘Mother Town’ of the Potteries - the world’s ceramic capital. In the post-industrial era, infrastructural advancements have rendered the canal obsolete and later buried. This project builds upon momentum created by the Burslem Port Trust, to reinstate the branch as a catalyst for future regeneration, to provide employment, housing, income, tourism and a new gateway into Burslem town centre. Burslem Port repurposes the canal for the present, acting as a centre for heritage, nature, tourism and leisure, creating a destination for locals, tourists and canal boaters, with facilities for the everyday and special events. 08 Winnie Law - Theatre of Imagination This project provides a place beyond conventional education to empower and inspire young people, through literature, performance and play. The program comprises a community library, drama school and theatre, within an architecture that provides a range of formal and informal settings to encourage youthful enquiry, discovery and creativity. Situated on the site of the former Burslem Sunday School, the project builds upon local stories of literacy, writing, ingenuity and production, past and present and, fronted by its magnificent historic portico, the Theatre of Imagination provides a stage for inspiring and rewarding civic events. 09 Zack Chen - [E]-merging Future The project provides an interface for education, business and community with state-of-the-art digital facilities. Through dynamic collaboration between Middleport’s community, the city’s graduates and new businesses along the A500 corridor, the project provides a technological testbed for upskilling the local workforce and promoting innovation, creativity and enterprise. Over a longer timescale, the facility will enable local users to test, develop and optimise their creative ideas to a point where they are ready for industry trial. The facility itself bridges existing and new communities across the Trent and Mersey Canal and establishes an architectural dialogue between new and old.

10 Yibo Zhang - Stoke Clay College This project builds upon Burslem’s identity as ‘Mother Town’ of the Potteries, by proposing a college that offers one-year postgraduate courses on cross-disciplinary research topics relating to ceramics. The college reimagines Top Bridge Works, an abandoned ceramics factory in Longport, as an innovative place for interdisciplinary knowledge and production, reconciling past and present and embracing interdisciplinary working. Divided into different studios relating to a range of industrial and creative sectors, the college will uphold the city’s innovative spirit and provide a diverse and continuous supply of talent to safeguard the future of ceramics in the Potteries. 11 Gabrielle Depauw - The Kitchen Court This project creates a space to gather and galvanise the strong community of Burslem, building upon a growing momentum within the town for social, cultural and heritage regeneration. A new architecture inhabits the old, abandoned, but wellloved Market Hall to provide an event space for community celebrations, concerts and festivals, along with a programme of rentable kitchens embracing local and global cuisine, that will bring back the vitality of the market and provide a place for the people to meet and share through food. 12 Samuel Milward - A Phantasm of a Polycentric University This project imagines a new poly-centric university for the UK’s only poly-centric city, Stoke-on-Trent, which challenges the city’s existing institutions to better serve their post-industrial context. The new university is dispersed equally throughout the city, engaged with their local communities and connected with a rapid inter-city tram system that re-uses the route of the former Potteries Loopline. The project is explored at city, town and building scales, focusing specifically on the arts faculty in Burslem. The former Burslem Station site is re-imagined as a centre of knowledge exchange, simultaneously embedded in the town and connected to the wider university and city. 13 Olivia Hellman (MALA) - The Dairy Factory Burslem’s earliest potters were also farmers, producing pottery to support Stoke’s dairy industry. The combination of the two occupations supported each other, providing a balance. Given that the sole production of pottery is no longer a stable source of industry within Burslem, this project argues for a return to Stoke’s initial form of production, dairy farming. It re-imagines the farm in a more contemporary and sustainable manner by promoting a form of dual production. 50 cows are utilised to produce food as well as other materials including bio-plastics derived from their by-products. Situated within a former calcining mill, new forms slot into the existing, while sheds housing the cows sit on the opposite side of the canal. A spectacle is created as a proposed dairy route links the two.

Live Projects Since 1999, over 2000 SSoA students have delivered 194 Live Projects across 16 different countries. This year 200 students worked on 14 projects; 10 in Sheffield, 3 more across the north of England and 1 in Brussels. Projects were sited in rural and urban locations and addressed issues including social cohesion, urban capacity, community-led regeneration, heritage, recreation and industry. The projects start with an open brief and, through close collaboration between students and their community partners, they developed into a diverse range of outcomes including detailed designs for buildings, participation toolkits, urban strategies and built structures. Running for the first 6 weeks of the academic year, Live Projects bring together Masters students from the MArch and MAAD courses. Students work in groups to produce built and strategic design solutions for real clients with a particular emphasis on community participation and collaborative working. The Live Project programme is widely recognised as an innovative form of teaching within UK architectural education, offering students at SSoA the opportunity to test design ideas in a real-world context not offered on such a sustained level by any other architecture school. Live Projects celebrate the value of meaningful engagement with diverse groups of people, to broaden the potential of architecture as a driver for positive change. The public presentation day, held at St Mary’s Church in the city centre, and attended by clients, was a celebration of collaboration, creativity and the power of ideas in the real world. SSoA continues to work with many of our Live Project clients, outside the curriculum, through our project office Live Works. 01 01 A New Home for Paces Mentor: Leo Care Client: Paces Sheffield Location: High Green, Sheffield, South Yorkshire Students: Arneta Hoxha, Clare Mckay, Evie Martin, Gopinath Shanmugam, Hengyu Dong, Holly Madeley, Isabelle Chamberlayne, Jayesh Ellayah, Joe Bradley, Ke Qin, Laura Jamieson, Musa Alam, Sitian Zheng, Suqi Li, Will Kreibich Paces is an organisation providing specialist education for children and adults with cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions. They practice conductive education – a holistic approach encouraging neurological development through repeated movements. Paces currently inhabit a repurposed secondary school building, which is not conducive to the pedagogy and the team were asked to explore options for a new building for the organisation.Through engagement with school children, adult service users, staff, parents and trustees the team developed proposals for design options on the suggested site and a vision for key spaces within the new Home for Paces. Project outputs were tailored to an audience of potential funders and supporters, including a main document containing design strategy & vision, a precedent information book, a website, social media accounts and project branding. In addition to these, exhibition material, including: presentation boards; a physical model & a wishing tree, will remain a permanent fixture in a new ‘project room’ at Paces.

03 Brookfields Park Mentor: Howard Evans Client: Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership Location: Bolton-upon-Dearne, South Yorkshire Students: Bryn Davies, Chen Xuanru, Emily Glynn, Matthew Reece, Michael McGuinness, Olumuyiwa Olawoki, Richard Rothwell, Samuel McMillan, Thomas Wakelam, Wenli Zhou, Xingyu Zhou, Yanlong Wan, Yuanda Wang, Yuying Geng Brookfields Park was, until 1988, home to Manvers Main Colliery, one of the largest coking plants in the country. The abandoned wasteland was redeveloped as a public park in 2005. The site today is a vibrant young landscape containing a range of open spaces with pockets of dense woodland, housing a variety of habitats. The team’s brief was to enhance environmental sustainability, define the identity of Brookfields Park and improve access to the park at main entrances. Throughout the project the team consulted local residents by conducting surveys in the park, meeting with local residents and visiting nearby schools to find out what they use the park for today and what they might want the park to look like in the future. This vital information fed into the team’s design process culminating in a new vision for how Brookfields Park could evolve in the future. This was presented in the form of three phased masterplans for the park - what could be achieved by the end of the live project? – what could be done before next summer? – what are the long term aspirations for the park?

02 AR’ City Mentor: Kasia Nawratek Client: Aalfy Location: Sheffield, South Yorkshire Students: Abdul Azim bin Abd Rahman, Adam Tarasewicz, China Chapman, Dandan He, Duanyang Zhang, Hong Bin Ng, Jaimie Claydon, Nikolay K Runtev, Samuel Morley, Sixiang Wang, Steven Msowoya, Wenling Zheng, Xiaoqing Tan, Xinxu Chen, Yi Cao The team worked in residence at Live Works, SSoA’s Urban Room in the city centre, working with local young people to develop a series of interactive technological installations for the AR’ City Festival to be hosted by our client Aalfy. The concept of the AR’ City festival is based on the precedent of Playable City, which showcases playful elements of technology to interact and bring together the local community through the act of play. AR’ City is focused on giving the young people of Sheffield a voice and agency over issues in their city that they believe can be addressed through playful technological installations. To facilitate the development of such a festival in Sheffield, the team participated in and facilitated ‘young people ideation workshops’ in collaboration with our client. These intensive workshops provided the base for thirteen main installation concepts that the Live Project team recorded, visualised and shared through an online ‘Ideas Bank’ resource. In addition the team produced a set of documents that would help facilitate the client as AR’ City moves beyond the SSoA Live Project and continues to develop towards its September 2019 launch goal.

04 BUDA+ Mentor: Simon Baker Client: Jan Zaman Location: BUDA, Brussels Students: Antonia Alexandru, Daniel Bruce, Connor WD Kendrick, Maham Khurshid, Vicky WK Lee, Joseph H Marshall, Oliver J Millett, Dan Inge Romslo Teigen, Rujia Wang, Jiaoyan Wu, Xindi Zhang, Marie B Hogevold Building on last year’s Live Project ‘Made in Brussels’ we worked with our client and a network of stakeholders to explore the opportunities of multi-level industry. Based in Buda to the north of Brussels, the goal was to develop ideas on how to retain and intensify what has defined Buda for generations - industry. We produced a series of booklets and studies that investigated ideas that had been proposed by stakeholders and how they could be integrated into masterplan of industry of different scales stacked on top of each other, with shared yards, lifts and loading areas. As we had built on the work by ‘Made in Brussels’ we hope that our work will too be built on in future developments. We hope that through this Live Project’s ability to connect stakeholders and get them engaged in the future of Buda the legacy of the work will be in reinforcing and nurturing a network in this industrial community, and any development on site to be an embodiment of the collective aspirations of all involved.

05 Building Sutton Sheds Mentor: Jenny Clemence Client: All About You Location: Hillsborough, Sheffield Students: Alice Grant, Bradley Sumner, Farhana Jiwa, Jingwen Zhang, Katherine Dauncey, Kimbo Sito, Lei Wang, Lucas Williams, Mohammed Mirza, Robyn Davis, Samantha Mooney, Shutao Tan, Stephanie Davies, Xinyu Wang, Zhilin Hou The project explores the regeneration of the William Sutton Community Hall on Dunella Road, Hillsborough, in order to improve the inclusivity and accessibility of the existing space. In addition, the project proposes to convert the derelict garages opposite the hall into a community workshop space called Sutton Sheds. Sutton Sheds will host ‘Men’s Sheds’ and ‘She Sheds’ programmes: a creative space where ‘Shedders’ of all ages and abilities can learn and develop practical skills. The workshops will provide a home for a broad range of activities, such as woodwork, metalwork, pottery and art & crafts. At the core of this project, our vision was not merely to design a new workshop space, but to create a community hub in the heart of the Sutton Estate, enhancing social connections and friendships across the local community. The project developed with mental health and personal wellbeing in mind, creating a social space that is welcoming and accessible to all. We believe that making and creating can be a tool for healing and hope that the Sutton Sheds will provide a safe and friendly space for this to happen. 06 Glossop: Connect Mentor: Bryan Davies Client: Victoria Arts Centre, High Peak Borough Council Location: Glossop, Derbyshire Students: Raluca Burlacu, Xinyan Cao, Say Yin Chuah, Monty Dobney, Sarah Edwards, Dongbo Gao, Ramidayu Gate-Leka, Yiting He, Samuel Letchford, Beth Lodge, Ayomikun Rosanwo, Li Mei Tan, Kai Yi Wong Glossop has a rich cultural history and is home to a large range of creative professionals. The Glossop:Connect Live Project was conceived as a joint endeavour between Victoria Arts Centre, High Peak Borough Council and various local organisations who want to kick start a creative vision strategy for Glossop. We focussed on connecting cultural/heritage assets and creative groups, as well as gathering public support and building momentum through creative public engagement. Our cultural map evolved as a rich tapestry of memory and experiences, providing a tool for engagement. Alongside this, we created the Urban Room, a physical space which can foster these discussions, a place where people can go to understand and get involved in the future of their town. Alongside this, we considered potential uses and meanwhile visions for Glossop’s heritage assets, which are currently underutilised. These visions were developed through a collaborative co-designed process that saw us combining and developing our ideas with those of the public. 07 Friends of the Valley Mentor: Emre Akbil Client: Friends of the Valley Location: Gleadless Valley, Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Students: Will Beesley, Peter Dykes, Junsu Fan, Matthew ForbesYandi, Olivia Hellman, Rory Luscombe, Vipashyana Priyadarshi, Janani Rajeswaran, Jianing Ren, Zewen Sheng, Qi Xuan Tee, Zhangxiufu Wu, Xinyu Zhao Friends of the Valley are a collective of SSoA students and local residents of the Gleadless Valley, Sheffield. By tapping into grassroots systems of power and alternative economies we challenged the existing top-down models of civic development by embedding ourselves within informal networks.

We established a two stranded approach, to work simultaneously on creating the mobile commons, by facilitating a skills sharing network as well as a series of designs for a community centre on the Hemsworth site. The mobile commons travelled around the Gleadless Valley collecting oral narratives and demonstrating the power of the informal network. It worked to create an interface with a master-planning event we set up outside, and by handing out badges we started to expand the Friends of the Valley network, encouraging people to engage with the early stages of our spatial and organisational propositions - by the community, for the community. 08 Greening Tinsley Mentor: Mark Parsons Client: Tinsley Tingas Location: Sheffield, South Yorkshire Students: Bhavana Brindavan, Caroline Green, Elin Keyser, Farah Alsaied Ahmad, Fenella Snudden, Jennifer MacFadyen, Kezhu Chen, Melissa Kirkpatrick, Rebecca Smith, Sarah Abdellatif, Travis Mills, Tom Parker, William Bellefontaine, Winnie Law, Xiaoquin Zhang In 2015, a school located alongside the M1 in Tinsley was closed due to high levels of pollution in the area. The school is currently occupied by community enterprise ‘Tinsley Tingas’ who aspire to turn the disused school building into a mix of workspaces and community facilities, working alongside the local council who are using the site to monitor and test technologies to tackle pollution. Working in collaboration with the University of Sheffield’s Algal Biotechnology Department the ‘Greening Tinsley’ proposes the Tinsley Tingas playground as a new community space focussed on food, integrating algal technology to create a closed loop, self-sustaining system. The proposal aims to bring together three strands: the ambitions of Tinsley Tingas in bringing new community facilities to Tinsley, the councils desire to find new and innovative ways to reduce pollutants in the area; and the wish of ABS to bring algae out of the lab and into the public realm. 09 Making Meersbrook Mentor: JP Walker Client: Heeley Trust, Ruskin in Sheffield and Friends of Meersbrook Hall Location: Heeley, Sheffield, South Yorkshire Students: Cressy Lopez, Sacha Bennett-Ford, Jia Wen Tan, Louise Taylor, Sanjukta Jitendhar, William Capps, Lydia C Whitehouse, James Rest, Parniyan Salari, Yun Zhou, Yike Yao, Yi Zhong, Wai Sze Chan, Changxiao Ma, Chenqi Li Meersbrook Hall is a Grade II listed building in Meersbrook Park and was the home of the John Ruskin Museum between 1890-1954. This project was inspired by the Ruskinian ideals of connecting everyday people to nature through the arts and informal education. Meersbrook Hall is to be once again a building open to the community, whilst celebrating the building’s rich heritage and becoming a place for the public through providing space for crafters, filmmakers, musicians, performing arts and languages. We identified three keys ideas that our project could successfully engage with to ensure a lasting legacy continues; to ‘Raise Awareness’ – to showcase existing community activities of the hall and build public support, to ‘Demonstrate Demand’– to collect evidence of need and desires from the community and to ‘Create a Vision for the Future’– to design and preserve the Hall whilst activating and re-organising the building to become a sustainable community asset. We achieved this through the creation of a phased programme of works to balance creative activity and insure a consistent turn-over of revenue for Meersbrook Hall to become self-sustaining.

10 People’s Kitchen Pitsmoor Mentor: Carolyn Butterworth Client: People’s Kitchen Pitsmoor Location: Pitsmoor, Sheffield, South Yorkshire Students: Emma Koch, Karolina Kaminskaite, Juan Ruiz, Ifigenia Ioannou, Cristina Carcanescu, Alice Howland, Michael Jenkins, Samuel Myatt, Kelubia Onaro, Kate O’Brien, Thomas Gadot, Alex Dormon, Die Hu, Rujia Lin, Zhe Cai, Yuxiao Gu, Tongyu Li People’s Kitchen Pitsmoor is a grass roots community group, whose goal is to transform a local derelict stables, associated to the Grade 2 listed Abbeyfield House, located in Abbeyfield Park, into a thriving hub for the community. Inspired by a shared love of food our clients aim to create a community kitchen, café and meeting place to share the multiplicity of cultures in Pitsmoor through cooking classes, social events, and community dining. In order to help make this vision a reality, we approached the project in the same way the client approached its events, through ground up community engagement. By attending a variety of existing and group organised events, we involved both client and the community in the design process, ensuring a holistic consideration of community requirements and desires for the project. Materials produced include a Recipe Box, with the ingredients and methods to ‘cook’ the project, a harvest map and data base of local resources and materials, a short video, outline design proposals and visions for internal and external spaces, meant to inspire and guide them as the organisation grows. 11 Sheffield Central Mentor: Mark Emms Client: Museums Sheffield Location: Sheffield Students: Zhao Chen, Gabrielle Depauw, Andreea Ditu, Matthew Drewitt, Jonathan Foulger, Wenhao Hu, Samuel Milward, He Qiu, Kunyi Song, Abigail Verlaan, Xintong Wang, Bethany Willis, Benjamin Yeates, Claire Yu, Yibo Zhang This project presents a vision that re-frames Sheffield Central Library and the Graves Art Gallery as a place for the people of Sheffield to call their own. It brings the building’s wealth of untapped resources out of its Grade II listed walls and into the city, creating a new cultural and civic destination for Sheffield. It brings the services of knowledge and art that the building was originally dedicated to into the 21st century. The 1930s construction is currently in a state of disrepair and in need of a serious overhaul with structural issues, poor access, wasted spaces and a gallery on the top floor that many people are unaware of. The project focuses on maximising the potential of the building by introducing a new street, bridging across a new atrium and extending upwards and outward towards Arundel Gate. These design moves prioritise accessibility - altering the way users enter and travel through the building, flexibility - ensuring the building has spaces designed for multiple uses and connectivity - Sheffield Central becomes the heart of a new Arts Quarter with neighbouring Leader House and Millennium Gallery. 12 St Michael’s Church Mentor: Russell Light Client: Revd Phill Medley Location: Byker, Newcastle Students: Fanni Csepeli, Nikola Yanev, Ethan He, Victoria Shu, Diana Rosca, Ashley Dunford, An Lu, Alexandra Earland, Summer Xia, Thea Lin, Xiaojing Su, Boxin Xue, Harry Bruce The Byker estate, redeveloped by Ralph Erskine, is predominantly a social housing estate, which gained its recognition through its community-led design approach and vibrant colour scheme. St Michael’s Church was one of the few buildings that Erskine preserved. St. Michael’s Church is a Grade II listed building that

is now in a derelict state and our role is to help the church community obtain funding for the church’s regeneration, to allow for its long-term use to make it a self-sufficient building. The Church welcomes all demographics from across the area - this meant that we had to build strong relationships with not only our clients, but the users of the church as well. In order to achieve this, the Live Project team held five community-led workshops in Byker to develop the brief, programme and designs and a Virtual Reality model to experience the remodelled spaces. 13 The Ingle Way Mentor: Satwinder Samra Client: Bridget Ingle and Andy Nice Location: Wincobank, Sheffield Students: Tom Hattan, James Paul, Charlie Perriam, Amber Liu, Tom Cunningham, Keeley Newell, Jamie Griffiths,Hikmat ElEdelbi, Freddy Yu, Adam Rich, Paddy McElroy, Beth Mamicha, Ryo Morimoto, Juan Wang, Stephanie Porfyriou, Athirah Azhar This project imagines an exciting new route connecting key areas of Wincobank and Meadowhall, inspired by the legacy of local boxing trainer and Sheffield celebrity, Brendan Ingle. The project aims to encapsulate the life, values and teachings of Brendan Ingle and use these to inspire and engage the local community of Wincobank, ensuring his legacy is an integral part of the spirit of the area for generations to come. Our designs evolved through consultation with stakeholders and the wider Wincobank community. The route is designed to connect the Ingle Gym in Wincobank to a proposed Square Ring Sculpture, and statue of Brendan at Meadowhall. Along the way, key areas of Wincobank are reimagined through proposed interventions to represent the 6 core principles Brendan taught his boxers.The project led to the production of ‘The Ingle Way’ Tool Kit, which contains documents on Research, Proposals, Branding, Engagement Tactics and Precedent Studies. These booklets enable the client group to easily access the information required to take the project and designs forward for funding in the near future. 14 Woodbourn Connection Mentor: Dan Jary Client: Pakistan Muslim Centre, University of Sheffield Urban Studies and Planning Department Location: Darnall, Sheffield Students: Frances Abrahamsen, Hongyang Li, Zuozhi Liu, Toby Mackrill, Louise Morley, Sana Saeed Khan, Xing Tong, Clare Timpani, Rosa Turner Wood, Anna White, Hongcheng Yin, Jiwang Zhu A new space that facilitates links between the local community and the University of Sheffield in an old school building owned by the Pakistan Muslim Centre. Woodbourn Connection will become an inclusive facility for the community to expand their already thriving network of initiatives. By organising multiple activities during the launch event and throughout the project, the building was instantly energised. We ran design workshops to gather the thoughts of the community on what they wish to see in the space. We proposed a future vision for the space to become Sheffield’s second urban room alongside Live Works. The space is now instantly bookable online through the website we created, and is instantly adaptable thanks to the prototype flexible partitions we built. We hope these proposals will continue the legacy of our project, using our promotional film to help maintain momentum and excitement.

MArch Dissertation The MArch dissertation is a critical written study on an architectural subject chosen by the student and undertaken with expert advice from the staff. It is seen as an opportunity to investigate an aspect of architecture in which the student is interested and would like to explore in more depth. The dissertation should contribute to the subject area through reasoning and critical analysis and may involve original research. Topics usually fall within the following subject range: architectural theory, architectural history, environment and technology, architectural practice, representation, landscape architecture and urban design. The dissertation offers students the opportunity to research, organise and produce an extended piece of mostly written work over the course of the year. Students often use their dissertation as a theoretical foundation for the design research of the Y6 thesis project. Sheffield is one of the few schools of architecture that still offers students the chance to undertake dissertations in both undergraduate and masters degrees. The quality and range of work is remarkable, producing richness, rigour and variety, and demonstrating a wide range of research methodologies, analytical and presentation techniques.

No Monster In The Mission Radical Opposition to the Neoliberal Production of the City, and the Politics of Space in San Francisco’s Mission District Peter Dykes Peter’s research was structured around a foundational analysis of wider social, historical, political and economic complexities, in order to understand current-day urban struggles in an appropriate context. Following this, he spent time in the Mission District, interviewing people on both sides of the current discourse around displacement, affordable housing policy and the implications of a further deregulated housing market at the mercy of the free-market. This led to a more in-depth analysis of an ongoing and high-profile conflict between developers and a grassroots coalition of community groups and radical tenants rights organisations, concerning luxury development around a plaza at 16th and Mission Street. By identifying threats posed to current users, marginalised groups and the neighborhood at large by a seemingly benign and well-intentioned development, his response attempted to re-centre the brief on the people the developer-led proposal values the least.

05 Developer Maximus and Architecture Firm SOM’s Vision for a Sanitized Plaza at 16th and Mission

The production of the city in the West is almost entirely controlled by private interests. The primary economic ideology and dominant political system since the 70s and 80s has been focussed on stability, growth, deregulation, privatisation and the ongoing eradication of the welfare state, stripping away our collective agency to produce space and to shape the cities we live in. Through an investigation of spatial politics in San Francisco, a city at the vanguard of housing scarcity and gentrification displacement, yet with a rich history of radical collective action in opposition to profit-driven forces, ways to counter this neoliberal model of development, while addressing the architectural profession’s complicity in it, are theorised. These theories inform a propositional, though intentionally non-spatial, response to the central case study: a highly controversial luxury development in the heart of the city’s vibrant Mission District, dubbed by its critics ‘The Monster in the Mission’.

Death & Afterlife of Robin Hood Gardens In the context of conservationists’ increasing ambitions, what conservation lessons can be learned from the demolition and the salvaging of a three-story fragment of the estate? Karolina Kaminskaite Propelled by the author’s interest and experience in working with existing fabric, the study takes an in-depth look at the recent demolition of Robin Hood Gardens and the V&A’s decision to retain a fragment of the structure. Identifying this as an example of a new conservation theory Jorge Otelo-Pairos has dubbed ‘Experimental Preservation’ it evaluates the success of the experiment while opening up a broader debate about heritage, preservation, conservation, museology and the potential consequences this approach might have to the future of conservation practices. While Rem Koolhaas may not be wrong in saying that preservationists’ ambitions are increasing, the case study examined in the paper is not an answer to the so called museumification of our cities. The paper concludes that, in this particular manifestation, experimental preservation should be used as the last resort when all other options have been exhausted, especially when the bulldozers start threatening other examples of 20th century architecture and social housing schemes.

In a lecture given at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Rem Koolhaas stated that ‘’We are currently living in an incredibly exciting and slightly absurd moment, namely that preservation is overtaking us’’1 and it is true that the gap between the inception of a building and its listing is shrinking. What started in England and Wales with the Ancient Monuments Protection Act of 1882 exclusively focusing on pre-historic monuments has expanded to ‘’all buildings built before 1700 which survive in anything like their original condition’’2 as well as ‘’most of those built between 1700 and 1840’’3 and now, as a general rule, a building has to be over 30 years old to be considered for listing unless ‘’they are of outstanding quality and under threat.’’4 There is no doubt that conservationist’s ambitions are increasing, however, postwar architecture & social housing schemes especially do not appear to be the focus of these ambitions. The paper will focus on one such post-war social housing scheme-Robin Hood Gardens which, despite a lengthy campaign led by the architecture community to save it, was doomed for demolition in order to make way for a new development. A lot has been written about the success and shortcomings of Robin Hood Gardens as a social housing scheme, with arguments for and against its lack of listed status and demolition, therefore, this paper will not focus on these issues but will look at a more recent development in the building’s history-the Victoria and Albert Museum’s (V&A) decision to acquire a three-story section of the estate with the intention to display it at the Venice Architecture Biennale and eventually have it on permanent display at their new facility in Stratford. This decision to save a portion of the estate, its display and the more general reasons for why we choose to preserve buildings and why demolition is seen as the enemy of architecture will be the focus of this study. To investigate V&A’s decision to salvage a three-story part of Robin Hood Gardens, its treatment and the initial display at the Venice Architecture Biennale the paper will use the lens of experimental preservation that can be seen as a radical branch of a very established institutional field that is conservation. According to Jorge Otero-Palios who works at the intersection of art, architecture and conservation, experimental preservation tries to blur boundaries of this institutional field ‘’in hopes of establishing new knowledge through which we can address the problems of our time.’’5 In this context, the paper will argue that V&A are practising experimental preservation and will evaluate the success of the experiment. What is lost in this kind of preservation approach? 01 Trompert, Roderick, Streets in the Sky, 02 treets in the Sky at the 2018 Architecture Biennale in Venice 03 Drawing author’s own 04 Concept Drawing of Possible RHG Future Display at the V&A 05 Robin Hood Gardens Flat Entrance

Articulating the Feminine A Study of the Patriarchal Designs of the Catholic Church and the Fascist State in Rome Cressy Lopez The study began as an investigation borne out my own social conditioning. Embracing an identity within a society polluted with labels, exploring what it means to be a feminist catholic woman. Further vested in the plethora of convictions and disparities surrounding; faith, the urban realm and the role of women, I found the ideal touchstones for scrutiny. Architecture is interdisciplinary in its manifestation, with the thesis exploring a branch within its complex network. In order to articulate a female narrative embracing a feminist methodology became crucial, appreciating the reflexivity of research. The key challenge became to realise the voices of the historically repressed, within a strongly patriarchal narrative supposition, whilst framing it through the set positionality. This was resolved through experimental representation and expression of data in graphic as well as text forms. Hence combining throughout the subjective with, what we conceive to be, objective truths. Validity of experiences was then achieved through collections of behaviours, with the study combining the journeys of women historically and in the present, both secular and otherwise. Rome’s layered palimpsest provides the perfect backdrop of place, to delve deep into the physical manifestations of dominance. It is a city built to evoke power and show clearly the strength of its ruling classes. Built on the dominance of imperial, religious and political dynasties; it is a true realisation of the magnitude of expressions occurring as a result of patriarchal designs. In dissecting this, the study evolves to encapsulate wider issues of inequality developing from the necessity to understand the conditions of ‘the other’ in society. The main body of work is presented as a journey; through history, with physical and theoretical meandering all concocted through the othered lens. Within the analysis there is the prevailing emergence of the city as a body (Body Politic), with set social hierarchies allowing for its effective functioning. Encapsulated in the body are the allegorical interpretations of forms and spatial designs of the Catholic Church and the Fascist State leading to disembodiment. Finding proof of the design implications which cause the loss of consciousness in relation to spatiality, as the body becomes disassociated from its surroundings. The study finds the flaws of past approaches to architectural expression realising the necessity for a humanist, more feminist architectural language. Challenging the way we are taught to perceive and more importantly conceive bodies in spaces. Thus presenting the power of the politicised nature of our physical existence.

The idea of the feminine mystique and wisdom is ancient; ‘Sofia, I am older than God.’ Sophiology combines the philosophical and theological concepts of the wisdom of the biblical God. Advocating idea of ‘the Eternal Feminine’ accepting that women and men have different ‘core essences,’1 idealising the concept of woman. Archetypes of Masculine and Feminine impose a series of established social constructs of etiquette and behaviour on a human being. These codes of conducts formed through differentiation, nurture an individual based on physicality and historic qualities associated with each gender. Religious teaching, specifically that of Christianity, is key in informing misogyny attributed with ‘the feminine.’ The old testament shows two main categorisation of women; as the subservient wife and mother (Sarah, Rebekah and Rachel) or the temptress (Eve, Delilah and Jezebel), with the latter group being more famed and used as a mechanism to condemn female sexuality. This follows through in the New Testament, with the church venerating two ideals of the feminine, the consecrate chastity of the Virgin Mary and regenerate sexuality of Magdalene. There is no place in the conceptual architecture of Christian society for a single woman who is neither a virgin or a whore.2 Further the absence of female prophets or bible writers highlight the consistent lack of female perspective. The male narration of history is not solely limited to religion; it is possibly one the greatest indicators of the acquiescent role women have played within the patriarchal society.

MArch Architecture : Collaborative Practice The University of Sheffieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Architecture (SSoA) continues to place itself at the forefront of architectural education with our Collaborative Practice Part 2 Architecture course, now in its fourth year. We now have over 35 leading UK practices onboard and we have received positive feedback from both employers and students alike. Collaborative Practice is a full time course which blends reflective, practice based experience with academic research and learning. The route is a 2 year program where Year 1 (Year 5 of the architecture route) is based in practice with the student employed 4 days a week. Year 2 (Year 6 of the architecture route) is based back in Sheffield. The work produced is a testament to the enthusiasm, commitment and tenacity displayed by both our pioneering cohorts and collaborative practices. The year blends education and practice. By reflecting upon practice, experiences and design are used as a springboard for innovative design and professional analysis. The year culminates with a reflective design proposal whereby students reflect on practice based projects and propose an alternative scheme based on their own research and knowledge of the project. This amalgamates in a rich variety of projects and design agendas based on the layering of practice projects and the individuality of studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; interpretations and design approach.

01 Paddy McElroy - Civic Plant Centre BDP By building on the legacy of The John Innes Centre, a world leading plant science research institute, the dichotomy between urbanisation and food scarcity is explored through a proposal that places food knowledge, civic engagement and plant science within the heart of the capital. Taking advantage of the rich history of food exchange within Borough, the proposal offers a place for public gathering whilst blending innovative science and civic learning to strengthen food networks within the city. 02 Frances Abrahamsen - A Community within Affordable Housing BPTW St Clements house is a development of affordable homes and communal activities in Rochester, Kent. This design acknowledges the limitations of affordable housing, including; natural light, views, and space. Typically, private tenure funds the construction and sales costs for affordable housing, creating a larger profit margin. In this design the private tenure is replaced by community activities which provide income for affordable flats and which are influenced by the surrounding industries in Rochester; creating a place the community can enjoy.

03 Holly Madeley - Back Turner Street 5plus Architects My project takes a developer-led speculative housing scheme in central Manchester, which has been quite controversial with local residents, and asks; what if the design and procurement of the building were led by its future inhabitants? In this way, spaces for shared living have been built into the design, enabling it to give something back to the local community.

04 Andreea Ditu - Re-imagining Almshouses for the Active Third Age Mole Architects Almshouses have historically provided housing to the vulnerable (old) in societies. This dwelling typology unpacks layers of cultural, spatial and social memory. Today, provision of care is focusing only on the negative aspects of aging such as loss of mental and physical abilities. It fails to address to develop a model grounded in the benefits that come with age and health such as the freedom to give back to the local community, socially and economically. The proposal asks: How can architecture celebrate independence in old age, promote the values of lifelong self-improvement and allow retirees to contribute to society? 02

05 Robyn Davis - The Ugly Brown Building Bennetts Associates The Ugly Brown Building Masterplan proposes alternative methodologies for development. The new scheme combines traditional developmental models that prioritise budget and timescale, with the co -creation of usable space with the community, for the community. Schemes such as this could mitigate the losses catalogued by traditional developments such as lack of varied architectural character and decreased community cohesion.

10 China Chapman - Reimagining Project Oriel’s Waiting Areas Penoyre & Prasad The project aims to encourage cultural infrastructure by using hospital waiting areas as an opportunity to entertain visitors and to create performance/exhibition spaces for the Kings Cross’ arts community. The use of music and contrasting textures emphasises the importance of designing inclusively for the blind which responds to the Moorfields Eye Hospital, hosted within the overall building.

06 Rory Luscombe - Teaching and Learning Building, Uni of Birmingham BDP The future of the university campus is in question with the rise of remote-learning, however the benefits of social and physical interaction cannot be undervalued. This project challenges BDP’s approach to provide an iconic landmark, and proposes an alternative user-oriented building which can respond to the changing requirements of university group teaching and learning methods. The proposal provides short-term adaptability with spaces which can respond to the required occupancy, and longterm future proofing with a large-format structural solution to permit change over time. Formal and informal environments are dislocated from one-another, and a range of volumes intend to stimulate productivity.

11 Ayo Rosanwo - Saving DAU : 100 Piccadilly AHMM Situated in the heart of Mayfair, 100 Piccadilly is a grade 1 listed building, that has been the post production location for the movie DAU. A biopic of Lev Landau, the film explores the theory and practice of power, control and privacy. The past 14 years of filming has been defined by secrecy in both its Mayfair base and Ukraine base (Kharkiv film set). With a revised release date of summer 2019, the project will be entering the public domain. The proposal attempts to answer the question of how the grade 1 listed building can (RE)invent itself to serve the theatre company in its new phase of public access.

07 Parniyan Salari - A Landmark Repurposed for the People in Mill Hill RMA Since the relocation of the National Institute for Medical Research Centre, a developer planned to demolish this landmark and its astonishing landscape to build profitable apartment blocks on every inch of it. My project is an alternative design that maintains and refurbishes the existing form of the landmark while considering the substantial need for housing. Seeing the increased rate of health deprivation in the area, the project emphasises the importance of health in relation to our living environment. It aims to demonstrate that a house can generate employability, can be a place for leisure, education and cultivation.

12 Harry Bruce - The Metropolitan Library, Manchester Metropolitan Uni 5plus Architects The Metropolitan Library, a reimagination of MMU’s Library, provides a range of public services and spaces which seeks to increase access to learning facilities for the people of Manchester and widen the reach of higher education by enabling high quality distance learning. The building itself, repairs the severance created by the Mancunian Way, an elevated motorway, using the space underneath to provide indoor public space as well an alternative north-south pedestrian route.

08 Thomas Parker - Active Elderly Community Living Levitate The move to a retirement community is often done as a last resort in response to declining mobility or health. This proposal asks what a later life community that can cater for a range of care needs - from very independent to close care - might look and feel like. 08 09 Alex Dormon - Rutland Mills Hawkins\Brown Rutland Mills is a collection of Grade II listed Mill buildings located in Wakefield. The site is located adjacent to the well renowned Hepworth Gallery, designed by David Chipperfield Architects. This project seeks to redevelop the Rutland Mills site to enhance the Yorkshire Sculpture Triangle which currently includes the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, the Hepworth Gallery and the Henry Moore Institute. The proposal includes refurbishing the existing buildings to provide new co-working facilities and includes a new public building which will serve as an exhibition space.

The MSc in Digital Architecture and Design (DAAD) at the Sheffield School of Architecture is a digital design based programme structured around four key areas of study: (1) parametric modelling linked to digital fabrication and prototyping, (2) building information modelling for cross-domain design analyses, (3) computer programming for data processing and interactive prototyping, and (4) advanced simulation for modelling adaptive architecture. Students are introduced to a set of digital design methods, techniques and processes including parametric modelling linked to 3D printing & laser cutting, BIM-based building performance analyses, computational design with Python and Arduino, and advanced environmental simulation for modelling adaptive architecture. Studio MAKE (Modelling Adaptive Kinetic Environments) is where students engage with creative synthesis of digital design methods and techniques through studio-based projects. On completion of the MSc DAAD programme, students demonstrate a critical understanding of relevant knowledge related to the principle and methods of computational design process that interacts with data visualisation and performance simulation. They become conversant with digital modelling techniques and software tools developed in advanced computational design, BIM based analyses, and environmental simulation. Our postgraduates produce a distinctive body of digital design work demonstrating the knowledge and skills to enter a wide range of career paths.

Studio M.A.K.E. Studio MAKE (Modelling Adaptive Kinetic Environments) explores how design syntheses of digital (virtual) and physical environments can lead to innovation of interactive digital architecture. MSc DAAD students undertook three projects in Studio MAKE 2018-19: (1) Inspired by Nature (IBN), (2) Transformable Urban Furniture (TUF), and (3) Adaptive Urban Nanotecture Network (AUNN). Led by Dr Tsung-Hsien Wang, Inspired by Nature is a five-week long project in Semester 1 to explore the underlying formal elements and rules of pattern-forming found in nature. Beginning with a small scale study, each student investigates a chosen topic of natural evolution through abstraction, parameterisation and manifestation. The 3D parametrical models developed from Inspired by Nature were then applied to ideas of making furniture-like urban interventions to some campus spaces identified by the students. Retuning back from the week-long field trip to European cities in the beginning of Semester 2 (early February), students started with initial proposals of how their IBN and TUF schemes could be further developed into an Adaptive Urban Nanotecture Network (AUNN). Supported by Element of Computational Design II (ARC6819), students swiftly moved to prototyping their AUNN proposals. The goal was for each AUNN project to build a prototype of a small interactive architecture that explores a specific form, materiality and performance of an adaptive network system situated in an urban and user context. As presented here, the DAAD students of 2018-19 have produced innovative thought-provoking AUNN projects, demonstrating what they foresee the possibilities of digital architecture in response to the social, environmental, technological or cultural challenges they care very much about.

00 Studio M.A.K.E. field trip to Frank Gehry’s Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany 01 Agathi Sianoudi, Maohua Wang, Shao-Yun Wang, Hongmei Wu Singing Cans: Sounding the Wind Environments on the University of Sheffield Campus We explore how to make a wind instrument out of disused aluminium cans widely found at recycle points. ‘Singing Cans’ an experimental installation of wind instrument is made with an assembly of drinking cans that can produce sounds in recognizable pitches by interacting with air flows. We use wind data generated by urban climate modelling to determine a site-specific installation frame on which an array of cans is programmed to ‘sing with the wind.’ 02 Vissvesh Jaisimmah, Jinhao Qin - Drone Ports for the Sheffield City Region We envisage the coming of the age of Drone Delivery. Similar to a city’s ATMs or bus stops, a network of Drone Ports is proposed as new urban infrastructure for point-2-point goods delivery services. We develop a modular system to generate the outer shell of a Drone Port to secure the inner core of a vertical parcel transportation system much like the world-famous Paternoster of the Arts Tower. 03 Jiahui Cheng, Diksha Santoshkumar Malani, Xiaokun Yang - Food Van Inflatables: Adaptive Canopies for a Food Van Fleet Food vans are part of a city’s catering services that a certain urban population get their food and drink such as university students. We develop an inflatable canopy system that can be integrated into a food van. Designed for a food van fleet operator, the inflatable canopy will provide a covered area next to the van to shelter students from strong sun and rain while eating their food. 04 Snigdha Khaneja, Tanmay Vasant Patil, Yuxin Wang - Smart Benches for all people in Sheffield We see benches are multi-functional artefacts commonly installed in civic squares of many cities. In the UK and elsewhere, public benches are ‘adopted’ by citizens to commemorate their loved ones. We develop a system of Smart Benches for all people that can be adapted to a specific city context, symbolically, functionally and socially. In our system, every Smart Bench is an Internet of Thing (IoT) built with an adaptive physical layer (seating, micro power generation, etc.) and a digital layer (online personal stories and place histories accessible via smart phones). 00

Sustainable Architecture Studies The first studio project was on celebrating cultures, which included a retrofit of an office building of choice in the climatic region of the students’ choice. A holistic approach was applied in using sustainable strategies according to the current challenges of the world, the climatic conditions of the selected site, building performance, occupants’ comfort, aesthetics, and sustainable criteria. The second studio project was more focused on a British and European approach in sustainable architecture. It included a new or retrofit of a hostel. Students demonstrated a systematic understanding, knowledge and approach in sustainable architecture and methods of evaluating their ideas and building performance.

01 01 Alessandra Meza Nunez, Greeshma Mysore Girish In the Pinadale Farm Project, our aim was to provide quality spaces for the visitors by enhancing the relationship of the hostel building with the surrounding nature with an effort to minimise the impact on environment but also to preserve the architectural essence of this historic building. 02 Alessandra Meza Nunez, Greeshma Mysore Girish, Jinjing Yu This project was the retrofit of an office building in Hong-Kong and our aim was to make the building as part of the surrounding community; to blend in the surroundings and to engage with the local community using a diversity of spaces and design ideas, which merged the local culture with sustainable strategies for the future.

07 Sourabh Gupta, Dilek Arslan, Hei Yan Tsang Our aim was to reinterpret the Lucerne youth Hostel, which facilitates communal areas, different types of rooms. We wanted to make the hostel welcoming for families, while enhancing its performance in terms of sustainability and the visual experience. 08 Linxian Wang, Marios Paterakis Alonso, Arizpe de la Pena This project was a combination of a retrofit and a new building for a hostel in Zurich in Switzerland. Our aim was to improve the community and the connection with the context through an aesthetically pleasing and sustainable building, while expanding the customer base for the Zurich Youth Hostel.

03 Jinjing Yu, Chang Yang, Ziyang Cao This project was the retrofit of an office building at the University of Sheffield. This was a potential for an ideal hostel for university’s visitors, which meets sustainable development requirements and low energy consumption. 04 Santiago Arias Franco, Sergio Gomez Torres, Sahil Ravindrakumar Jaiswal This project was a combination of retrofit and new buildings in the national park in the Peak District in the UK. Our aim was to create an interactive experience for the users and to blend in nature and architecture. 05 Santiago Arias Franco, Sahil Ravindrakumar Jaiswal, Chang Yang, Zhihao Zhang This project was a retrofit of a fire station in Germany. Our aim was to transform the Fire Station into a sustainable community centre, which will create new interactions and new bindings with its surroundings to conform a multilinear relationship and a sustainable community.

06 Shengran Sun, Huajian Zhu, Yue Xu This project was the retrofit of an office building at the University of Sheffield. Our aim was to facilitate a sustainable, comfortable, vibrant and convenient hostel living conditions combined with convenient transportation.

MA IN URBAN DESIGN

Visiting Tutors Dr Emma Cheatle Beatrice De Carli Frances Hollis, London Metropolitan University Dr Irit Katz Rowan Mackay, ASF-UK Dr Krzysztof Nawratek John Sampson Tom Wild Kat Wong, Urbed

The MA in Urban Design is a studio-based design programme with a strong emphasis on collaborative and participatory approaches to design. The programme builds on the school’s ethos around the relationship between architecture and society. As such, it is grounded in an integrated understanding of the physical environment and of the social and ecological interactions that take place within it at various scales. Our interest lies in the processes of uneven urban development and in the many individuals and groups who engage daily in transforming the places they inhabit. With this in mind, the course seeks to establish innovative modes of practice involving ideas of participation, collaboration, and distributed agency, and to investigate which approaches and methodologies might allow for rethinking the role of both designers and citizens in the processes of city-making. The overall approach of the programme is underpinned by a desire to critically examine the key urban development challenges that cities are facing today, with a focus on environmental change and social inequalities. Who is addressing them? In which ways? To whose inclusion, and exclusion? Local urban areas in Sheffield are taken as a reference for comparison with other UK and international contexts. The main core of the programme consists of a design studio, supported by core modules exploring urban design theory, participatory methodologies, and reflections on urban design practice. These are complemented by a range of optional modules, study-trips, thematic workshops, and lecture series. In 2018/2019, the course was organised into two routes: Theme A ‘Urban inclusions’ and Theme B ‘ Urban ecologies.’

Live/Work Sheffield (UK) (Theme A/ P1) This studio used the theme of ‘live/work’ to investigate inclusive urban regeneration in Sheffield city centre. Rather than understanding mixed-use masterplans in terms of abstract planning ‘use classes’, Studio Live/Work took as its point of departure situated and ‘actually existing’ observations of city centre living and working. Projects investigated community-led strategies for including broader and more diverse quotidien routines in response to this analysis, through spatial interventions at the scale of an urban block. Many of the projects drew on artist-led approaches to housing and questioned how open-ended urban processes could be negotiated. Spatial strategies respond in different ways to the Heart of the City masterplan, currently being implemented by Sheffield City Council.

Our conceptual design ‘Growing up in Cities’ aims to solve this problem by building a child-friendly community in Sheffield City Centre, through a Community Land Trust and self-organised management model. Our project integrates housing, office and retail functions to narrow the distance between work and life. Meanwhile, a variety of facilities for children such as a nursery, activity centre and education centre have been provided in this community, so that children can grow up healthily and happily in the city. 02 Balancing ‘We’ and ‘Me’ Jiaqi Gu, Xiaoying Lua, Boqun Yan, Zehua Zheng In response to Brexit, visa policy has been adjusted in the UK with the consequence that more international students will hope to stay in the UK after graduation. This proposal creates freelance opportunities for graduate students to allow skills, interests and hobbies developed whilst at university to be continued after graduation. Our proposal also recognises a need to balance groupbased and individual activities through spatial design. ‘Balancing “We” and “Me”’ is an immersive home and platform for selfemployed graduates.

03 ‘Work in Progress’ Louwrens Botha, Xin Qin, Olivia Taylor, Wenting Zhao, Minxia Zhu This project focuses on intergenerational living and brings users from different stages of life together to live and work in the same setting. We believe there is a strong connection between younger and older users, which this project investigates through scenario building, participatory processes and collective fictioning. The aim our project is to explore how alternative ways of living, working, doing and ‘homing’ can be co-created. 04 Shared Space – Shared Community Lijun He, Jiajing Li, Yixuan Xie, Ruoyu Yang, Zebin Zhang The aim of our project is to create a shared community, designed to serve and support graduate students. Because of the limited funds that graduate students have, and the economical living environments they often find themselves within, the ability to share resources is a priority. At the same time, they also need a platform to develop their own individual careers. Our live/work proposal incorporates shared spaces and mechanisms, including time banking, a lend library, herb garden and mobile public service facility.

05 HEART OF CITY Qian Guo, Wuwu Ran, Xiaobo Tan, Yuchen Wang Our project name is ‘Heart of City’, and our proposal places art in the ‘heart’ of Sheffield city centre. The purpose of our project is to create an art community in the heart of Sheffield, both to support artistic ambitions and drive the development of the surrounding industries. Based on the council-led masterplan for the city centre and research on surrounding art studios, we used Carver Street and the buildings on both sides to create an art community, which responds to—and creates spaces of opportunity within—the existing mono-functional proposals. 06 Placing International Students into Sheffield’s Heart Jiayu Du, Yixin Geng, Mengmeng Wang, Yuhan Wang, Tong Yin Through the analysis of the working and living environment of members in our group, we found that our work-life patterns can be conceptualised as ‘three points and one line’ (school-homesupermarket). This monotonous and limited life environment is unhelpful for international students wanting to integrate into the local environment. Our spatial strategy uses cultural activities to integrate the daily life and work of students with those of local residents. The aim of our project is to increase the frequency of communication between these two groups and reduce gaps between them. 01

Designing inclusion in the meanwhile Milan (IT) (Theme A/ P2) The studio explores how the temporary use of space can become a platform for creating more inclusive, thriving neighbourhoods. Be it a festival or informal use of a building, meanwhile uses can create accessible spaces that provide opportunities for interaction, participation and even employment. Meanwhile uses can encourage communities to think creatively about how to make the most of limited resources, and challenge the status quo to redefine the ways in which people live. The studio is based in the San Siro neighbourhood in Milan, Italy, which has a high concentration of public housing and is a site where the diverse challenges of urban inclusion are amplified. It was a collaboration with Politecnico di Milano (Polimi) who have been doing participatory action research in the neighbourhood for many years. The studio draws on the extensive knowledge and expertise of Emily Berwyn from Meanwhile Space about temporary uses in Urban Design and how to implement them, and Lucia Caistor-Arendar’s research on Designing Inclusion.

04 Co-Lab Siyuan Feng, Xiaoying Luan, Yuhan Wang, Zebin Zhang Aiming to address the issue of wasted resource and empty spaces, this design uses the idea of collaboration as a tool for linking existing resources together. The strategy has four elements: coeducate, co-design, co-construction and co-operation. With these four phases, the process is pushed into the regeneration of specific site. Personas were used to reflect upon the issues and resources in the neighbourhood and to evaluate the process of design and the impact of the proposed project on people’s everyday lives.

Studio Collaborators Dr Ida Castelnuovo and Dr Francesca Cognetti, Politecnico di Milano Mapping San Siro Meanwhile Space 01 The Extended Classroom Louwrens Botha, Lijun He, Jiajing Li, Ruoyu Yang This project explores the potential of educational spaces and activities to stimulate more vibrant and inclusive neighbourhoods. Specifically, it proposes that universities, in collaboration with local schools and communities, can activate vacant or underused space, to broaden and improve learning opportunities, encourage social interaction through shared space and work, and build capacity for communities to manage shared resources. An incremental approach, using temporary activity as catalyst and test-bed, focuses on building long-term capacity and resilience through social relationships, skills exchange and empowerment. 02 Participatory Design for San Siro Jiayu Du, Tong Jiang, Olivia Taylor, Tong Yin The project uses participatory design to make full use of local physical facilities, social resources and organizational relationships. It facilitates a series of temporary activities to promote more inclusive communities. We believe in using participatory methods to create a sense of “togetherness” in the design process. We aimed to connect people back to San Siro, creating shared spaces that are inclusive for all ages, cultures and genders. These strategies would have to work with communities using a bottomup approach in-order to engage with the neighborhood and its residents. At the same time, existing resources and temporary-use design strategies were used as a way to simulate long-term change. 03 Never-ending Festival Manshi Fang, Junbo Tao, Mengmeng Wang, Zehua Zheng Never Ending Festival is a 10 year programme of communityled regeneration using a series of temporary interventions and empty spaces in San Siro. Our design focuses on activating the local economy and attracting more new populations to stimulate vitality and promote integration with residents through proposed events and interventions. We proposed three key projects: Pop San Siro, The Creation Level and the Pocket Garden and Farm. Our project will start with developing a resident committee and

05 Coexisting in Diversity Yixin Geng, Xin Qin, Yuchen Wang, Yi Zhang The project explores the reuse of empty spaces to create a dynamic and inclusive neighbourhood. Inclusive design is not to create a space that can meet all needs at the same time, but to establish diverse spaces for residents with different backgrounds. The project establishes three levels of public space with different environments and diverse activities to meet the requirements of the different groups living in the area. Meanwhile, it also considers temporary devices, the life cycle of the projects and their business models, with a view to revitalize San Siro with low cost and efficient use of existing resources.

06 Heart of San Siro Jiaqi Gu, Wuwu Ran, Yixuan Xie, Wenting Zhao Through these proposals, we aim to bridge the gap in the San Siro community to create more interaction in the central public square of San Siro. We developed strategies and interventions that seek to bring value and increase the sense of belonging of community residents. From a social perspective, we have explored the divide caused by people of diverse backgrounds, ages and nationalities and focussed on attracting a more diverse community to the site. Our interventions set the direction for creating a new central area, and explore a new renewal strategy to promote the sustainable development of the community. 07 Urban Food Hub Qian Guo, Xiaobo Tan, Boqun Yan, Minxia Zhu The project proposes an urban food hub: an edible community where people can meet, experiment, cultivate crops, and share their skills and ideas. Food provides a common element for different groups and diverse cultures to come together, collaborate and communicate. The project is inspired by URBAN FARM and the idea that growing food can be a bridge to connect communities and different groups. Our designs for a food-themed renewal seek to create a sustainable self-sufficient community run by residents in which people can develop new skills and have a happier lifestyle. 01

Urban agriculture in the post-industrial city Sheffield (UK) (Theme B/ P1) By 2050, food demand is predicted to increase 60% (FAO 2013) and world population is projected to reach 9.7 billion, of which 68% will be living in urban areas (UN 2018). It is estimated that the world already produces enough food to feed everyone on the planet. However, our current systems of food production don’t provide equitable access to healthy, affordable food for all. The studio explored the Lower Don Valley (East End of Sheffield) and reflected on the long history of urban agriculture in Sheffield. Students’ projects investigated the existing systems of food production in Sheffield and developed strategies to accommodate new productive landscapes in post-industrial sites. They also reflected on the spatial, social, economic and political conditions necessary to allow a progressive transition towards a more sustainable and multifunctional urban productive landscape.

Studio Tutors Dr Claudia Rojas Bernal Ana Méndez de Andés Dr Carl Fraser Visiting Tutors Dr Beatrice De Carli Dr Krzysztof Nawratek Tom Wild Studio Collaborators Isaac Tendler, Foodhall 00a Mapping Relations between Food and Cities Xinping Ma 00b Fieldtrip along Tinsley Canal Zhihan Jiang 01 Community-building and place-making through transition Jin Hu, Wei Luo, Pavithra P, Shiyuan Wang River Don landscape has changed in the past decades: barren lands have turned either into public green space, built forms or agricultural land. Transition happens when a place has the freedom and openness to become something new and meaningful. Community plays here a vital role, and is one of the most important components to identify the needs and potential of a site. This project proposes a space for production, demonstration, education and transition through a production-and-relation centre that combines the heritage of the existing building, the surrounding open spaces and the ecology of the area. 02 Water Collection for Urban Agriculture Jingge Du, I-Ting Han, Jie Xiong, Ruihan Zou This proposal explores the use of rainfall water to help agriculture adapt to extreme conditions. It started with a research on the 2007 flood in Sheffield, a comparison of the situation before and after the flood led to strategies that address the fragility of some areas in the face of extreme conditions and strengths the urban resilience of Lower Don area. Both “Room for Change” and “Ecological Cycle” combine water and technology. In the first, abandoned lands can be screened out for water storage. The second collects rainfall water from building roofs and purifies grey water that is used for industrial or domestic agriculture. 03 Food as Experience Changhao Li, Chong Wang, Yuqing Zhang, Yucheng Zhou The aim of this project is to foster a resilient and sustainable food system. It is based on three principles: the relationship among food organizations in Sheffield center and around Sheffield North East, how they operate and how they can help develop urban agriculture based on the potential demand of this area. A manifesto of development principles and strategies to intervene this area includes multi-functional allotments, open factory, food festival, productive landscape and social facilities. The combination with study cases contributes to configure a sustainable, local, accessible and inclusive food system that is projected in a future

food system with development strategies to be implemented in the assigned site until 2050. 04 Food Culture and Food Cycle Yiwei Hong, Zhihan Jiang, Yu Long, Tianlin Wang This project looks at different cultural groups in Sheffield - an ethnically and culturally diverse city - and their specific food cycles. An investigation of the daily diet of residents from different countries identified eight common foods and their sources, transportation and distribution channels, and recycling methods. They were incorporated to four principles to optimize Sheffield food cycle: Production & Distribution, Waste Recycling, Agriculture Corridor and Bottom-up public participation. Based on these, detail strategies (like agro-circular economic and food culture cooking) were designed and applied in the Attercliffe area. 05 Edible Sheffield: A Sustainable Framework of Urban Agriculture Jiaqi Yang, Siqing Gao, Jiaxin Shi, Alaa Jaber The aim of this project is to create a food centre that will cover at least 50% of the food demand by 2050. The Lower Don Valley is a neglected post-industrial site, to transform its industrial nature into a space suitable for farms and residents, the project develops a framework strategy with three steps. 1. Develop two urban agriculture zones along both the River Don and the Canal. 2. Create three green corridors that connect the residential areas with the urban agriculture infrastructures. 3. Encourage public participation in urban farming. Food hubs sustained by different technologies will act as initiators and supporters of this transformation. 06 Sowing the Seeds for the Future Lianne Grosvenor, Xinping Ma, Beiyi Shi, Anqi Xie This is an urban agricultural project developed to address the predicted 60% increase of food requirements by 2050 through the promotion of local food production. It works on the assumption that increasing place attachment encourages environmentally responsible behaviour by appealing to self- identification: the greener the place, the more people identify with their environment and the more likely are to grow & eat healthier.This virtuous cycle is developed a three-step strategy: 1: encourage connection with the environment; 2: strengthen place Identity links with nature, 3: be environmental responsible through the creation of a Green hub.

07 Green Gray Ziyi Chen, Xinyu Jiang, Yameng Wang, Jiaoyi Wei The aim of this project is to make urban agriculture easily accessed and seen in Sheffield. Green Grey will help to grow not only food, but also relationships and economies in the community. The project is two-fold. It is an urban public space for education, training or re-entry programs, as food production that engages local residents to participate and decrease the social isolation. But it is also an intensively managed farm that saves resources, reduces pollution and promotes exchanges between residents and markets to develop the local economy.

Green infrastructure for the informal city Bogotá (COL) (Theme B/P2) This studio investigated the area between Las Limas creek and the new Transmi-cable project in Bogota. In this area, most of the neighborhoods had an informal original. Limited public spaces and social facilities, landslide and flood risk, and restricted accessibility due to the steep topography coupled with substantial socio-economic inequalities are critical issues affecting vulnerable low-income in this area. The design investigations aimed to test spatial strategies to consolidate a public space network, that integrated the elements of the ecological structure, provide solutions to inhabitants needs and also increase resilience towards climate change. The aim was to radically transform the area and to create a robust urban network that improves the well-being of the local population. Students took the challenge of working remotely, using a range of online resources and remote sourcing techniques to unpack some of the complexities of life and urban development in low-income neighbourhoods of Bogota.

Studio Tutors Dr Claudia Rojas Bernal Dr Carl Fraser Visiting Tutors Dr Emma Cheatle Dr Florian Kossak Kat Wong, Urbed Studio Collaborators Prof Bruno De Meulder, KU Leuven Paulina Espinosa, KU Leuven Prof Doina Petrescu, University of Sheffield and atelier d’architecture autogeree Prof Kelly Shannon, KU Leuven Helen Stokes, Agence Ter 00 Model making of Las Limas creek 01 Sewing the City with Green and Blue Infrastructure Jingge Du, Siqing Gao, Xinping Ma, Jiaqi Yang, Ruihan Zo The project proposes three strategies to create a network that connects the fragmented and neglected public spaces providing economic, recreational, and environmental opportunities for the community: (1) Reclaim the underused space and the wetlands to create a green corridor along River Tunjuelo that provides opportunities for the residents to connect with the riverside. (2) Create pocket parks and public squares around the cable car stations and cable car posts, which can be used as open-air markets for multiple purposes. (3) Integrate green infrastructure in the urban fabric of the neighborhoods. 02 Urban Co-Construction Ecological Flood Control Planning Yiwei Hong, Zhihan Jiang, Beiyi Shi, Anqi Xie, I-Ting Ha The project proposes a model of cooperation for the environmental restoration of the section of the river most affected by flood risk. The project includes the co-construction of public space, sidewalks and landscape devices, involving residents, schools or small local business. The residents will receive education and training about afforestation and landscape ecosystem. Through their involvement, they can gain benefits, such as a the right to get stall in a proposed night market, open recreational areas for schools, etc. 03 Colourful Streets Jin Hu, Alaa Jaber, Wei Luo, Pavithra P, Shiyuan Wang This proposal focuses on connecting social facilities with the natural environment to strength the local community. The main elements of the design are colour-coded, Las Limas creek is a blue axis, the vacant land and open space creates green corridors and the commercial areas are the orange streets. The green corridors

provide spaces for urban farming, afforestation and waste management. The blue axis allow to create new spaces for the residents, connected to social facilities which leads to community building and education. The orange streets increase economic and work opportunities for the residents. 04 Urban Acupuncture Yu Long, Jie Xiong, Yucheng Zhou This project proposes to use small-scale, low-cost urban design interventions, to improve the quality of public space and the environment. Interventions are located at strategic points on which they address ecological and social issues. The project proposes three types of interventions: (1) permanent or temporary facilities in local parks, such as, children playgrounds, art exhibitions, community kitchens, etc,. (2) devices to improve the visual quality and security of the open space, such as lighting, fences and afforestation, and (3) infrastructure to provide connectivity. All of these contribute to improve the environment by increasing the connection and attachment between people and landscape.

05 The Green Line Ziyi Chen, Xinyu Jiang, Yameng Wang, Jiaoyi Wei This project aims create landscape and social infrastructure systems that improve the environment qualities and respond to social needs. The interventions are proposed at different scales and are interlinked through a soft mobility network that strengthens the relations between the two systems. At the large scale the project proposes a high-quality landscape corridor that breaks the barriers between neighborhoods. At the medium scale, social infrastructure, including cable car station, library, cafes, kindergartens, bicycle lane, view point and playgrounds. At the local scale, community gardens based on local conditions. Infrastructure and landscape are intertwined and integrate existing elements and new elements with strong potential. 06 Building Resilience in Bogotá Changhao Li, Jiaxin Shi, Chong Wang, Yuqing Zhang The project aims to create an energetic green & public spaces network. The design strategies address three aspects at the landscape scale: public space, green space and the connectivity among those spaces. At the neighborhood scale we design three sections that show the typical conditions of the site. Section 1 focuses on connectivity by upgrading soft mobility infrastructure and facilities. Section 2 focuses on the provision of multifunctional squares attached to social facilities. Section 3 focuses on the reclamation of vacant land to create a wetland for water that can also act as a connector between residents.

MA IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Programme Leaders Dr Krzysztof Nawratek Dr Emma Cheatle Studio Tutors Dr Emma Cheatle Gihan Karunaratne Danni Kerr Dr Krzysztof Nawratek Faith Ng’eno Professor Doina Petrescu Dr Xiang Ren Dr Magda Sibley Professor Renata Tyszczuk

Students on the MA in Architectural Design will engage with the breadth of theory and practice in architectural design, with particular emphasis on the social, political and ecological. Through core and optional modules, they will learn and develop spatial tactics, research methods, and design processes, across a range of subject areas. Areas include: design methodologies, critical, political, spatial and urban theories, ‘Live Projects’, processes of heritage, technologies, and ecologies. The sustained research based Thesis dissertation at the heart of the course gives students opportunities to refine and expand their research and design capabilities. Graduates have pursued careers in architectural and design practice and in academia. The MA also supports the PhD architecture programme, providing an entry level one-year Masters course as a foundation for doctoral research by design and by research. This is an MA in design research that focusses on building design knowledge underpinned by critical and creative methodologies. Its positioning (outside the RIBA’s accredited vocational courses) encourages a speculative, research-based mode of studying architectural and spatial issues. Through a carefully balanced programme, comprised of both creative design and theoretical modules, the course covers a wide range of spatial thinking and application. It grounds students in traditional and decolonised theories of art, architecture and urban design, and by situating projects in both Sheffield and internationally seeks modes of situating and translation through design and critical thinking. The programme is distinct in its harnessing of Sheffield’s tradition of Live Projects, its engagement with social issues and community grounded ideas, and the creative and philosophical ideas of its teachers. Students’ studio projects are rooted in experiences of Live Projects and briefs are written by students (therefore each studio project explores individual interest of each student) - in a dialogue with studio tutors.

Spaces, Cultures, Politics: Lines / Borders / Dis-orders The intellectual framework of this theme is built around ‘messiness’ of an urban space. Space that is defined by lines and territories, by zones and images, by feelings and regulations; urban space defined by stories. There is no one city, no one urban space, the city, or rather – cities, are not given, they are constantly created and re-produced. What defines space in a city? Which lines, borders, edges give definition to space? Which lines create insides and outsides? How do these define rights to use? How does the inside and outside create insiders and outsiders? Who is made unwelcome? Permanent or ephemeral, physical or metaphorical, visible or invisible, deep or shallow – lines and borders create the necessary hierarchies and codes of conduct (order) through which we navigate, inhabit and enjoy our cities. Lines and borders can also intentionally or un intentionally confuse or circumscribe habitation, causing power imbalances, hostile environments, infringements and inequities. Our theme evaluates lines as borders and as vectors, it evaluated spaces and places,territories and zones and asks how, in very different cultures, they first might create order, sociability and inclusion, and second, how this order can be ideologically or stealthily realigned towards the creation, exclusion or oppression of ‘others’. The latter is led by and leads to ideological definitions of‘order’ and disorder’.

Architectural and Urban Heritage Conservation in the Context of Global Challenges Urban environments are continuouslychanging due to local, regional, national and global challenges. These challenges bring both positive and negative changes to historic urban areas that are considered asvaluable heritage. Mitigating negative impactand managing social, cultural, economic andenvironmental changes are both essential tothe conservation of heritage. Understanding the physical impact of these changes is an important initial step in order to developurban and architectural conservation strategies and design interventions. The studio combines mapping, physical anddigital modelling, short films and scenario making as research tools to investigate the dimensions of built heritage conservation.

Collaborative Practices and (Digital) Tools for Commoning In a society that faces dramatic environmental, economical and socialchanges, architects and designers needto be more proactive and creative in waysof operating collectively and reinventingtheir practice and role in society. They can also contribute to the emergence of new participatory processes of development of the common knowledge, design, action and governance of physical and virtual space. The key notions introduced by this studio are: Commons, Open Source, Peer-to-Peer, Co-Design, Social innovation. We will operate with these notions through mapping, visioning, prototyping, testing, publicizing.

: Urban block and countryside : Identity relationship between the citizen and their community. : Resilience and self-update community

The existing traditional community model is outdated, but under the top-down community management, under the unified leadership of the government, the renewal of the community needs a lot of costs. Design a kind of community management system by the residents spontaneously, organize the community to carry on the self-renewal.

Step 1 Step 2 Site Search In the first phase, research projects are determined on Meersbrook Hall. The trouble is how to find the clear relations among many aspects and find out what are the needs. Meanwhile, the theme of social innovation and open source have been adopted on this project as study direction.

From Meersbrook Hall to Meersbrook park At the early period, two approaches have been concerned on this site, one is building expansion, the other is art gallery installation. Actually, those are not the effective solutions. Then the research have been shifted to larger range of the site, the Meersbrook Park and the community. Then, I have walked there for many times searching for new inspiration.

Step 3

Step 4

Site People & Activity Survey

Mapping Distribution Classification

Through four times field trips, the survey were focused on people's behaviours, activities, space and the weather. The basic need is not the architecture facilities or landscape, but some place may attracte people to stay for a while and the other point is the signage installations in disorder. Through this clue, the whole area has been checked again, especially the entrances and roads.

Based on the survry, the information classification and integration was used as the approach for signage planning. The perspective of the installation is concerned with multiple function for information dissemination and feedback. The information carrier is physical boards which it help people to watch them directly when walking in the park and talking with their friends. So the next step is to find out where the installations are appropriate to set up.

Step 5 Social Innovation Open Source

Step 6

Firstly, four sites have been selected considering about the location, traffic route, terrain and people's activity habits. S e c o n d l y, h o w t o m a k e i t o r w h a t approaches can be used in the project become the key points. The plan is setting up a public platform for sharing the tools and collecting materials. People can use the workshop to make the products and learn skills. When the business pattern adopting the approach of sharing, the investment can be reduced significantly. Using the social source is the sustainable stratage.

Design The design work mainly involves two aspects, one is the pavilion design, the other is the workshop. In terms of the material, Fab-lab reconstructing, and storage way are considered and presented behind. The planning intention adopts the multi-phase development and construction way, then the users can adjust later.

Anthropocenes Global warming caused the ice shelves melt and as a butterfly effect, the Tuvalu wil be submerged due to the sea level increase. The section includes series of dynamic things which are different layers of the ground and atmosphere, atmospheric circulation and ocean circulation, creatures kinds, volcanic activities, ice melt and building's danger, sea level increase, etc.

The Anthropocenes studio projects theme is about provisional cities, future climates and deep time geologies. Our starting point was around discussions of the ‘Anthropocene’– the proposed new epoch in which human activity is considered to have such a powerful impact on Earth systems that it will leave a long-term signature in the rocks. The Anthropocene has not yet been formallyapproved as an addition to the Geological Time Scale. However, it indicates a time of political and social reckoning for a planet of cities in planetary crisis. In the studio projects we explored the historical contexts, as well as anticipated possible design futures and urban transformations of the Anthropocene.We engaged with different territories at different scales, researching pre-histories,proto-industries, minerals, topographies,textures, cultures, species, societies, climates and instabilities.

Research SSoA is one of the top research schools of architecture in the UK. The 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) has confirmed the our position as a world class center for architectural research. In a joint submission with the Department of Landscape and Town and Regional Planning, we are proud to have achieved 4th place overall by subject in the subject area of Architecture, Built Environment and Planning. 48% of our research was assessed 4*, representing world-leading quality and outstanding impact, and 37% was rated 3* (Internationally excellent). Our research explores the social and political implications of architecture to help build better environments and better lives. The school consistently attracts external funding for its research and is involved internationally with a range of research projects. We do not see research as an isolated academic activity, but aim to shape the national research agenda and policy on the environment and to proactively address public and professional needs. In addition to external academic and industry partners, SSoA collaborations have been established within the University and City - Sheffield Urban Institute, Methods Institute and the Engaged University.

Research is carried out in three main research groups which reflect a particular methodological set of approaches. Each group bring together a number of academic staff, researchers and postgraduate research students within shared interests. Design, Engagement and Practice Exploring the role of design and architecture in purposeful societal and systemic change through research, advocacy, action and engagement.

01 HAROLD (HAzards, ROad Lighting and Driving) PI Professor Professor Steve Fotios Funding: £1.2M, Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) A major new research project will study how to optimise lighting on main roads to enhance drivers’ abilities to detect potential hazards, therefore reducing the frequency and severity of road traffic collisions at night. Current road lighting guidance does not have a sound basis to allow us to accurately assess if lighting levels are optimal for safe driving on main roads. This new project focuses on reducing accidents that involve pedestrians and will influence national and international guidance for road lighting. The research will substantially extend previous studies on lighting and hazard detection by considering attention and distraction whilst driving and by promoting active aids for pedestrian visibility. 02 Urban Education Live (UEL) PI Carolyn Butterworth Funding: ESRC (UK), award value €422,000 (UK component) Urban Education Live (UEL) aims to contribute to the making of inclusive, vibrant and accessible urban communities. The threeyear project brings together university partners from Finland, the UK, Slovenia and Romania to develop and test new models of collaboration between universities, urban communities, NGOs and public bodies. The Sheffield School of Architecture will utilise Live Works for this project which is the first permanent University-backed Urban Room in the UK. Researchers in Sheffield are currently working on a range of activities which explore local initiatives. 03 ODESSA (Optimising care delivery models to support ageing-in-place) PI Professor Karim Hadjri Funding: ESRC (UK), ANR (France) and NSFC (China), €1 million A team of researchers, led by Professor Karim Hadjri, have investigated how ageing-in-place can be supported, allowing ourselves, our parents and grandparents to age well and with dignity, without having to move out of our homes and communities. TheODESSA project, brought together researchers in the UK, France and China to study how ageing-in-place can be achieved. Proposals could kick-start new ways of adapting homes to avoid older people going into residential care as well as making it easier for them to access public services.

04 Collective Scenarios PI Professor Renata Tyszczuk Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship A major new research project, based at the Sheffield School of Architecture, aims to examine climate change scenarios and their role in rehearsing, predicting and speculating on the future. Professor Renata Tyszczuk has been awarded a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship for her new Collective Scenarios research project. The project will produce a cultural history of scenarios, revealing the under-acknowledged origins, practices and assumptions of scenario building for climate futures. (Image: NASA) 05 EnHub Professor Darren Robinson and Gustavo Sousa CaCHE Innovation Fellowship EnHub is a new platform that dynamically simulates the carbon emissions of English housing stock. Current housing stock energy models employ a range of strategies. Whilst the more successful of them have been behind government policy on housing stock decarbonisation, they all have limitations. Dr Gustavo Sousa, UKRI Innovation Fellow, and Professor Darren Robinson have developed EnHub in response to the limitations. Using data from the English Housing survey and the Census, EnHub is able to prepare models of core housing types accounting for location, built form and energy system. These models are then enriched, to represent the parameters that affect energy use and carbon emissions. 06 Designing Inclusion Beatrice De Carli (coord.) and Celia Macedo Timeframe: 2016-2018 Funder: European Union Erasmus+ Key Action 2: Cooperation for Innovation and Exchange of Good Practices / Strategic Partnerships in Higher Education Designing Inclusion (desinc.org) is a collaborative project that addresses the interface between built environment education, and the production of inclusive urban spaces. The project focuses on European cities in the aftermath of the so-called European ‘migration crisis’, and investigates the capacity of current/ future urban practitioners to make a meaningful contribution to the reception of international migrants and refugees in local urban areas. The project, which came to a close in December 2018, was a collaboration between three higher education institutions: University of Sheffield (UK), KU Leuven (Belgium) and Politecnico di Milano (Italy) together with two civil society networks that operate in Europe and beyond: Housing Europe and Architecture Sans Frontières International.

Completed PhD Thesis Projects 01 Katlego Pleasure Mwale - Culture, Heritage and the Politics of Identity in National and Tribal Spaces: the city and the traditional village in Botswana This research explores how architecture and urban spaces are framed by identity politics and the spatial consequences of these. It raises important questions to consider, for example, the need to question the interpretation of identity in reductive terms but to ground identity within its socio-cultural context. Implicit in this approach is the examination of the cultural discourses on identity, a sense of history (whether colonial or postcolonial) and its wider implications on architecture. Another aspect to consider is ways in which identity politics are rooted in place, are constructed through a top-down process as well as a bottom-up process which entails examining the agency of the everyday practices by urban actors.

02 Aiman MR - Disassembly and Assembly in the Malay Building Culture The study describes the (previously undocumented) Malay house-building practice of ‘disassembly and assembly’, which bears a resemblance to the apprenticeship style of learning. The process preserves and communicates historic craftsmanship, knowledge, and skills inherent in traditional Malay houses to future generations, constituting a significant example of intangible heritage.

An important aspect of my research is the re-examination of the meanings of these spaces and buildings, some of which are listed as architectural heritage. Discussing heritage, particularly in postcolonial countries it brings to the fore the need to re-conceptualise heritage. This approach questions the definition of heritage as a material-centric, static and ‘authentic.’ Instead the definition of heritage is considered as a socio-cultural process which considers both the tangible and intangible aspects of heritage, produced through the social and cultural discourses which are part of identity construction. These issues are examined in the context of Gaborone the capital city of Botswana and two case studies of the Bakgatla traditional villages-Mochudi and Moruleng. By using archival sources, documentary evidence and semi structured interviews, the research constructs a spatial reading of place and architecture. The research goes beyond the characterisation of architecture in the capital city as an imposition of modernity by the former British colonial powers and argues that national identity was conceived as a representation of order and modernity by those in power (local elite and colonial officials), as a break from traditional forms found in villages. In traditional villages, identity construction entails a re-inscription and re-interpretation of heritage; the need to maintain a sense of continuity with the past and re-defining heritage as a process of becoming (construction of postcolonial identity). The study contributes to the conceptualisation of architecture in relation to the construction of identities and meaning.

03 Sarah Joyce RIBA - Towards a New Architectural Understanding of Birth Spaces Grounded in Women’s Experiences of Giving Birth The thesis proposes a new philosophy of birth space design that values the diverse spatial practices of childbearing women, across all types of birth venues and childbirth experiences. The research aligns with the philosophy of woman-centred care contained within NHS maternity policy. The interpretative methodology crosses disciplinary boundaries and proposes that birth space should be interrogated in a number of new qualitative ways. Standard practices for producing birth spaces are interpreted from three core UK policy/design guidance documents; and the spatial practices of childbearing women are interpreted from twenty-four women who drew and talked in qualitative interviews. The data was thematically-analysed and the visual data (an example is illustrated) was additionally examined as semiotic materials. The findings demonstrate that birth spaces are prosumed and curated by women. Birth space is experienced as a socially-situated progression through time - and not contained within one room as current guidance implies. The thesis discussion develops spatial insights into maternity policy goals (choice, control, continuity of carer and personalised care) and architectural design principles. The thesis concludes with practical recommendations and new situated spatial theory (the prosumption of space) grounded in women’s experiences to be applied to the design of birth spaces through interdisciplinary working practices.

04 Pouyan Akbari - Toward Just Urbanism: Mapping Inhabitants’ Experience of (In)justice in Urban Neighbourhoods My research concentrated on the mapping of cities and architectural spaces and the digital tools used therefor, all of which often disregard the socio-cultural conditions of inhabitants. For this research the question of perceived injustice was analysed. For this purpose, I developed a plug-in program called Mapping Multiplicity. The Mapping Multiplicity platform was put forward as a multi-method mapping approach, one that is more situated in the local context, and, by incorporating local knowledge and recognising individuals, their communities and the diversity of their background, it acknowledges different ways (in)justice is experienced in the city. The program brings together different angles of political-economic, social, socio-spatial and physical aspects and represents the multiplicity and complexity of the relations between these qualities of (in)justice in a traditional architectural representation – one that is familiar for architects and urban designers.

Dr Sarah Joyce has recently been awarded an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Leeds starting in October.

02 Qiushi Peng - Timber ageing - the relationship between chemical composition and mechanical property My research focuses on the relationship between the mechanical property and chemical composition of timber. Timber as a polymer, is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Cellulose supports the cell wall while hemicellulose and lignin enhance the mechanical strength. Therefore, chemical changes to the timber molecule could affect the mechanical properties. In restoration projects, the mechanical properties of timber structures are evaluated visually with no objective system. Timber structures are also used in new constructions so durability is a concern for architects and clients. In this study, timber samples are processed by heat-treatment in varying conditions and the changes of the chemical composition and mechanical properties are detected. My research could provide objective evaluation methods of the mechanical properties of timber for conservation and architectural design.

03 Faith Ngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;eno - Co-Constructing a Philosophy of Sustainable Design in Nairobi, Kenya My research explores the antagonistic relationship between contextual diversity and standardisation of the concept of sustainability within the built environment. The purpose of this study is to critically interrogate and understand this concept within the Kenyan context in order to establish appropriate premises through which a sustainable built environment can be achieved. The last two decades have seen significant expansion in the built environment in developing countries as a result of rapid urbanisation. The question that drives my research is how developing countries can expand economically through their built environment while remaining socially and environmentally conscious and responsible. In order to construct a situated philosophy of sustainable design and construction, there must be a critical understanding of the contextual dynamics together with an appreciation of how these dynamics influence perceptions, assumptions, misconceptions and ultimately the articulation of this concept in the built environment.

01 Tom Moore - (Co)Imagining Castlegate - Live Pedagogy in an Era of Localism My PhD research developed out of two Live Projects based in the Castlegate area of Sheffield. A site of intense university engagement and imminent urban change, Castlegate is both an area of great memory and great debate. My research employs storytelling as a tool to explore the relationships between emerging â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;civic universitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and their host cities. I am working closely with Live Works and my Research Group to develop my design and teaching as a critical practice. My experience of live pedagogy has provided a sense of agency in my locality, fuelling the fire for an alternate architectural practice of mediation, provocation and imagination. I will collect stories from diverse local people in the form of interviews, artefacts and archives, which will form the basis for critical narrative writing and speculative design. Through this process, I aim to interrogate the relationship between the university and the post-austerity UK host city.

2019 SSoA Manifesto/s PhD Conference 17th-18th May Organising Committee members Bana Darwich Szymon Ruszczewski Zainab Murtadhawi Deniz Kesici Niveen Daoud Omar Hamed Meyra Bas Khalid Hamoodh

The Manifesto/s is an internal conference, which is organised by PhD students. The conference consists of 2 days activities and sessions, which brings together PhD students from the department of architecture to present their research, and gain constructive feedback from academics and practitioners. Last year’s Manifesto/s conference was well received by Phd students, academics and practitioners. The conference successfully brought students of different levels and created a forum for discussion, which was a unique learning opportunity for the students. It is considered a prominent event in strengthening the SSoA community together, while providing sufficient feedback for the presenters. The first day of the conference consisted of two-parallel sessions of students’ presentations. The two sessions were constructed of four themed groups: Built environment and building performance, urban space and politics, architectural theory and practice, and architectural history and heritage. These sessions allowed students to present their ongoing research, and discuss and share knowledge with the designated panel reviewers for each session. The second day consisted of “Bio Bias” workshop, which was facilitated by Siobhan Barry; the leader of the Biomimetic BArch Studio Unit at Manchester School of Architecture. During the workshop, students have investigated the resource efficiency in the construction industry, while identifying problem areas and intentionally emulate a pattern, process or mechanism found in nature that offers a solution to the problem.

01 Introductory presentation 02 Student presentation 03 Diaglogue between presentations 04 Bio bias workshop

Manifesto is a “public declaration” of ideas and intentions. We intend to carry this conference forward and open it with other external architecture departments in the future, where this bonding of architecture students grow and more links and connections are to be created, in order to strongly participate, share and provide an impact throughout our ongoing research.

Simon Baker, Founder of Group Ginger, leads design studios and management, practice and law modules in the School. 10 The Global Undergraduate Awards 2018, Architecture and Design - European Winner Kacper Pach - BA Architecture Architects tend to take control of people’s lives by designing in a way that limits user interpretation. This project is a statement against that notion. Architecture should not be a determining force but only a background to everyday life. This project tries to address the problems of the housing crisis by proposing a new way of funding, constructing, designing and managing homes. 11 Berkeley Essay and Fellowship Prize - Shortlisted Chuan Ying Xuan - BA Arch ‘The proposal entitled ‘Sensitivity, Nurturance, Resilience: Lessons from Two Architectural Gems in England’s Steel City’ was shortlisted as a semifinalist for the 2019 Berkeley Essay Prize. Through researching and experiencing two very different buildings in Sheffield, Ying Xuan derived three principles of climatic design: sensitivity, nurturance, and resilience. Inspired by the abundance of traditional architecture in the outskirts, they researched the climatic design principles behind Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, a listed former steel-working site, and contrasted these with that of Sheffield City College, a project with a strong sustainability agenda. Ying Xuan also presented their project at the Student Research Festival at Sheffield.’ 12 China in your Eyes, Famous Sites - 1st Place Dawid Jan Starosta The exquisite wooden structure of Tsz Shan Monastery frames a beautiful view across Hong Kong’s mountainous islands; a wonderful harmony of man and nature. The photograph was taken during a summer school at CUHK, and submitted for the ‘China in Your Eyes’ competition organized by the Sheffield Confucius Institute, where it received first prize in the Famous Sites category.

Events Throughout the year, staff and students at the Sheffield School of Architecture take part in a range of events. This year we have hosted a number of research events in the School which have allowed staff and students to engage with the latest thinking in architecture research. Our students have exhibited their work at external venues, connecting them to wider audience. We have also partnered with organisations to support key events.

01 Theory Forum The Theory Forum is an annual event held at the School of Architecture, University of Sheffield. The Forum provides the core content for a module titled Architectural Research Methodologies, which encourages students to develop an awareness of diverse research methodologies in architectural theory and practice. This year, the Theory Forum was organised by Beatrice De Carli and Celia Macedo as part of the project Designing Inclusion (desinc.org): a collaborative EU funded project that addressed the interface between built environment education, and the production of inclusive urban spaces. The project focused on European cities in the aftermath of the so-called European ‘migration crisis’, and investigated the capacity of current/ future urban practitioners to make a meaningful contribution to the reception of international migrants and refugees in local urban areas.

04 Experience Castlegate Visitors to an exhibition as part of the Festival of the Mind were able to experience a 3D digital model of Sheffield’s Castle, through Augmented Reality. This was the first public view of a new model of the Castle based on recent archaeological investigations of this hidden, yet incredibly important, piece of Sheffield’s history.

The title of the Theory Forum 2018 was: Journeys/Arrivals. The event explored the spaces of migration through the perspective of movement, and aims to interrogate how spatial design can develop more nuanced ways of understanding and addressing the experiences of migration, displacement, and relocation. The Theory Forum was organised into three panel sessions and a keynote lecture. The first session: Displacements focused on expulsion and addressed the experience of those who have been forcibly displaced by persecution, warfare, famine, natural disasters. The second session: Relocations explored the experience of settling into a new area, with an emphasis on the encounter between those who are moving and previously settled communities. The third session: Future Practices explicitly asked how spatial design research and practice can establish a more nuanced relationship with the experiences of migration, displacement, and relocation. The event was closed by a final keynote lecture by Elena Isayev, exploring alternative ways of understanding place, not simply as a bi-dimensional site, but as an intersection of lives on the move.

06 Design your own Sheffield: How can Sheffield be more playful, more connected, more equal? Students from MArch Studio in Residence held a public exhibition of their design projects in Burngreave Library. The exhibition formed a temporary satellite hub as a part of the ‘Urban Education Live’ project funded by ESRC and JPI Smart Urban Futures. The exhibition gave residents a chance to share ideas about the area they live in and commented on student proposals, one of the key aims of the studio’s ‘in residence’ approach. Feedback on the day then informed the ongoing development of the projects.

05 MArch students exhibit projects exploring creative possibilities for Chatterley Whitfield Colliery MArch students from Studio Temporal Places have exhibited a series of architecture projects at Chatterley Whitfield Colliery in the north of Stoke-on-Trent. The exhibition formed a part of the recent Heritage Open Days at the colliery organised by Chatterley Whitfield Friends.

02 RIBA Research Matters 2018 - Sheffield Co-hosted by the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Hallam University, the 2018 RIBA Research Matters event was the first to take place outside of London.Research Matters offers early careerstage researchers from academia and practice an opportunity to present their research in a setting similar to that of a peerrefereed conference but in a more constructive, supportive and non-confrontational atmosphere. The conference is also a chance for more established researchers from academia and practice to present their current research. 03 Reflections Seminar Programme The Reflections Seminar Programme is designed to celebrate new, challenging and provocative thinking in architecture. The events were open to practitioners, academics, staff and students and gave attendees the opportunity to meet and socialise with colleagues in the Sheffield region. In 2018-19 we welcomed Malcolm Innes, Dr Jos Boys, Dr Léa-Catherine Szacka and Irit Katz share their work.

07 Bauhaus Centenary Festival – School Fundamental, Dessau This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus. Studios Learning Cultures and In Residence joined in a studio trip to Berlin and Dessau where we took part in the Bauhaus Festival; comprising of talks, workshops and creative activities. Representing SSoA we ran a workshop ‘A Part of, and Apart From’ exploring the relationship between the live and the speculative in our design projects, culminating in a presentation at the end of the day for other festival goers. 08 ‘Change by Design’ ASF-UK Workshop in Cape Town, South Africa In July 2018, five MArch fifth year students took part in a ‘Change by Design’ workshop hosted by Architecture Sans Frontieres (ASF-UK) in Cape Town, South Africa. Working closely with Development Action Group (DAG) and local residents of Khayelitsha, the workshop explored micro-scale, affordable rental housing through action research, developing a participatory design tool to aid local developers in creating more inclusive and high quality urban living. It was both a valuable learning experience, working within a new environment and multidisciplinary team, and a meaningful contribution to an ongoing research and development programme. 09 MatriArch ‘Nevertheless She Persisted’ International Women’s Day Event MatriArch is a student led feminist collective, raising issues facing women and non-binary people in the architecture education system and profession. On International Women’s Day they held their first public event under the theme of ‘Nevertheless They Persisted’, in partnership with SUAS. The evening event celebrated women in the profession, and a looked to the future addressing how collectively a more supportive un-gendered network could be achieved. Practitioners and educators were invited to present talks based on the topic and this was followed by a lively discussion open to the public. The guests of the evening were Leonora Simmonite, Cristina Cerulli, Fionn Stevenson, Carolyn Butterworth, and Danni Kerr. They look forward to hosting more events in the next academic year, and are hoping to engage a wider audience.

11 One Hundred Views of the Arts Tower One Hundred Views of the Arts Tower brought together a hundred artworks – photos, embroidery, painting, ceramics, oral history, film and more – shared through an open call, and unearthed gems from the University of Sheffield Archive. It was inspired by One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji, a collection of woodblock prints by 19th-century Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai, which captured the awe-inspiring peak that dominates the landscape around Tokyo from various perspectives and distances. The Arts Tower, Sheffield’s original high rise, is our equivalent landmark. Its elegance admired for miles around and its ever-presence on the skyline acting as a handy navigation tool. The exhibition was conceived, curated and designed by Eleven, the creative studio behind Sheffield Modern architecture festival and Our Favourite Places culture guide: https://www.ourfaveplaces. co.uk/ #sheffieldmodern

10 Sheffield Modern Sheffield Modern launched in 2018, a packed weekend of diverse events round the city. The Arts Tower hosted a unique rendition of Terry Riley’s minimalist work ‘In C’, performed in the moving paternoster. SSoA staff also gave presentations at the Modernists in Conversation event, with Satwinder Samra talking about social hosing and why people love or hate modern architecture, Russell Light revealing Superstudio’s lost project for Sheffield and Howard Evans discussing modernist approaches to using materials. We look forward to this exciting event becoming a regular fixture on Sheffield’s design calendar.

Sheffield University Architecture Society SUAS has been an intrinsic part of Sheffield School of Architecture culture since the 1960s. This year, our committee has increased the School’s verticality by focusing our attention on how to better integrate year groups. SUAS members include 1st - 6th year (and PhD) students and our committee was curated to reflect this range of ages and experience. Our weekly lecture series continues to attract iconic names within the industry, alongside our ‘Lunchtime Specials’, a SUAS tradition which promotes peer-to-peer learning, have included Photoshop and InDesign tutorials, Plaster Casting workshops or informal ‘lectures’ with students sharing their knowledge of practice, studying abroad or hosting informal debates on topical issues. This year, we hosted a very successful and provocative event with MatriArch, and will continue to support Women in Architecture and IWD events. The president this year used his role within the society to promote well-being and Mental Health Awareness, establishing links with the Architects Benevolent Society, for which we raised money as a thanks for all the support they have provided to SSoA students. It is our commitment, innovation and strong ethos that has ensured SUAS maintains its pivotal, student led role within the school, and without the support from committee, none of this would have been possible.

Humanitarian Architecture Society

Sheffield Society of Architects

The Humanitarian Architecture Society (HAS) is a society concerned with architecture which makes a positive change for those who need it the most. We promote discussion, action and aim to highlight some of the social and political issues which surround the architectural industry. We get out of the Arts Tower and get involved in real debates and community events wherever possible. HAS was established in 2017 but has achieved a lot to date, organising hands on furniture building workshops, lectures, trips, and even conferences. This year we are particularly pleased to have shown a variety of films and documentaries showing socially oriented architectural initiatives from around the world, sometimes even collaborating with other societies. We are also now part of the university’s Social Justice Network, which was set up this year.

SSoA is proud to feature Sheffield Society of Architects (SSA). Established in 1887, SSA is a branch of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Yorkshire Region. There is no charge for SSA membership which is open to all RIBA members within the Sheffield, South Yorkshire and North-East Derbyshire areas and extends to employees of Chartered Practices and students/lecturers involved in architecture. Other professionals and interested parties are also welcome to be involved with the Society’s activities.

Our committee has expanded this year, with far more people involved in the running of the society. We introduced more of a role for the social side of our society this year and a more specific role focusing on develop physical building skills. Chair Genevieve Leake Secretary Alem Derege Treasurer Richard Rothwell Inclusions Officer Maham Khurshid Events Team Gloria Kostrzewa-Seyoum, Mariam Abuelsaoud, Andreea Dragos Skills Development Officer Rebecca Wallace Graphics Officer Glenn Strachan Social Media Officer Sophia Hutchinson Social Secretary Tom Matthews (We collaborated with the LGBT+ committee for one of our screenings)

Internationalisation SSoA continues to be a vibrant international community: over 30% of our students and nearly 40% of our staff are international. This is reflected across all aspects of our work from the way we learn and teach, to the diversity of our research portfolio and the way we engage with the city and the world beyond. We are particularly dedicated to supporting incoming international students, as well as home students seeing international experience. We focus on developing the cultural agility of all our students, and actively see to create further opportunities to expand our students’ awareness of the international context of research, study and practice. We have developed curricula that are culturally aware, sensitive, appropriate and ethically grounded, supported by a diverse and comprehensive international teaching network. We have strong connections with other schools and organizations around the world and actively promote cultural exchanges with the department, across the University and with our partner institutions. As well as raising cultural awareness, our teaching collaborations enable students and staff to participate in international exchanges through collaborative work of placements. Our international teaching network includes Erasmus + partnerships with a wide range of EU universities (2 new exchanges with the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts–KADK, and Universidad de Alicante have been added this year) as well as partnerships further afield through programmes such as the University-wide Study Abroad. Additionally, a range of informal teaching collaborations with international partners and activities such as field trips, case studies and research collaborations–enrich the learning experience, making it culturally diverse and geographically spread.

The Winter School was the first collaboration in a new partnership between the Faculty of Social Science at the University of Sheffield and the Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning at Chongqing University. The group spent five days in Sheffield and attended a series of lectures from University of Sheffield academics. Following the lectures, the students took part in field trips to some heritage and nature sites including Lincoln Castle, Chatsworth House, the Peak District and York. They also visited London, Cambridge, Birmingham, and Manchester for guided tours of selected architecture schools, university campuses, museums and galleries. The visiting students and staff were very pleased with the Winter School and highly praised the unique learning opportunity provided by the SSoA. We would like to thank Chongqing University for choosing Sheffield for their Winter School, and we look forward to more collaborative projects in the future.

01 Ivana Kafedjian (Y2) - NU Singapore It would be hard to list all of the things I enjoyed about my exchange, but the main ones would be: meeting a lot of people from all around the world (NUS has around 1400 exchangers every semester); living in a totally different culture and watching myself adapt and grow as a person; having a lot of amazing food; travelling to a new place almost every week; being taught by tutors and lecturers with a very different background and seeing new approaches to so many things. I learned a lot about myself, became more easy-going, more accepting towards myself and others, more confident. And the amount of things I learned about Singapore, architecture and other cultures is immense! 02 Vencel Huiber (Y2) - NU Singapore Overall the experience was quite positive, I believe I have improved a lot in many things related to school and also learned a lot about myself while encountering a totally different culture. There was a lot of things I really enjoyed during the year but I think the opportunity to travel around in Southeast Asia was the most fun. Apart from that it was a yearlong summer with delicious food and many interesting people.In terms of school, it was really tough especially the first semester. I would recommend exchange in general for everyone, because it really puts one to a broader context and I also believe that living in a different country gives a much deeper understanding than visiting one. On the other hand I would only recommend NUS architecture for students who are really confident with their work and who are brave enough to jump into deep water. 03 Cole O’Brien (Y2) - Montana Studying at the University of Sheffield stands out as one of the most valuable experiences of my lifetime. I will forever remember the irreplaceable friendships, travels and dedicated tutors who made up my months abroad. In particular, the Ropewalks, Liverpool project provided me a unique global perspective on architecture and construction while honing my conceptual design approach. These lessons will be invaluable in my future career as I aim to return overseas in practice. As I’ve already told students at my home university, I cannot recommend the University of Sheffield highly enough for those seeking a top-class educational and international experience.
