P r o c e ss
The proposed project looks to regenerate and re-establish the unique connection that Sharpness has with the Severn Estuary that it was established from. The development also looks to enhance the connections that the coastal community has with the southern coastal towns of Wales, the northern coastal towns of Devon and all those others that edge the perimeter of the Estuary further in-land. This aim is to be achieved through the promotion and advancement of the sustainable rod fishing industry in the region. The creation of a ‘stop-off’ or ‘Anchor-point’ at Sharpness, due to its vital central point along the estuary. The project will enable more accessibility further in-land for fisherman travelling from the Severn’s mouth to the south west. Within Sharpness itself, the development looks to reduce the weight of the current industry through encouraging new ‘lighter’ industry. With the intention of establishing a stronger community that is connected and participates with the port and the industry, encouraging controlled expansion and desirability through the community itself.

The Proposal
The
Who is the Angling Trust? A new, single organisation to represent all game, coarse and sea anglers and angling in England. They seek to develop programmes with clubs to increase participation, particularly amongst groups who have yet to discover the joys of going fishing. They lobby government, campaign on environmental and angling issues endeavouring to fight pollution, commercial over-fishing at sea, over-abstraction, poaching, unlawful navigation, local bans and a host of other threats to angling.
Theoretical Precedents
Date: April 2015 _
STATE OF THE ART _ The manufacturign process is both a technical and mechanical process, requiring soley expertise for machine control. A sharp blade cuts around the template, the shape varies with the type of rod being made, but generally resembles a tapering rectangle. One edge of the cut sheet is heated in order to attach it to a tapered steel mandrel. The sheet is oriented so that the fibers line up along the length of the mandrel. The mandrel is rolled between two heated metal rollers, known as platens, that apply pressure. A thin film of a synthetic polymer is wrapped around the layers of fiber. The wrapped mandrel is heated in an oven to about 150-180째 C for about 30-60 minutes. The mandrel is removed from the hardened fiber by using a pressurized ram. The polymer film is removed. The blank is lightly sanded. It is then coated to give it a smooth finish.
TRADITIONAL _ The craft of rod making has been passed from generation to generation over the centuries, from rodsmith to apprectice. Rods are recieved in the form of hollow canes. The canes are split in half lengthwise with a heavy knife. The interior of the split cane contains thin partitions. They are removed with a chisel or cutting tool. The bamboo may then be heated briefly to harden. Canes are then cut into long strips. An accuracy is necessary to ensure that the strips will fit together properly then used to make a hexagonal blank. Some craftsmen use five strips to make a pentagonal blank. The strips are glued together under heavy pressure. Strong thread is wrapped around the strips to maintain pressure at the points where they meet. The glue is allowed to dry, the string is removed, and the blank is lightly sanded to remove excess glue and to provide a smooth surface.

Both inperfect and free from constraint the archiecture refelct the rods produced. Though seemingly inperfect, they are functional and fit for purpose, moulded by the use for the use. The design infromed in this way, exactly and presciently satifies the requirments. The freedom of the ‘Low Tech’ evokes adaptation.
The concept seeks to mimic the immaculate nature of the process to reflect the pristine process of state of the art rod manufacture. Mechanical aesthetic that is perfect in from and earganomics as a machine is for its purpose. Both effective and efficient, the form ‘perfect’ for use.

An exploration into the properties and extents of tensile structures through experimentation and trial an error testing. The final structure was a single piece of plastic cord that was woven through metal uprights and fastened at two ends to a wooden base. The tensile forces of the structure hold the rods up and in position, both elements rely on eachothers properties to work.
A time-worn context full of history and culture with tradition at the heart of the area. Cascina Riazzolo ‘A modern day eco-museum’ that is composed of both natural and man-made structures. The regional scale is key in understanding the cultural significance of the Cascina. The project looked to consider these elements of culture in order to find a solution to incorporate the Cascina into the modern Italy of the wider Lombardia region.

The project looked to re-energise a Cascina (farm estate) within its context of the historical Lombardia region of Italy. Deliberation of the Cascina, at a focused scale, highlights the key opportunities and issues available for potential development and key consideration respectively. A site visit and survey of the existing site circulation enabled detection and investigation through the use of analytical diagrams.
