Life Project

Live projects are a leading educational initiative at the University of Sheffield School of Architecture. Architecture students work in groups on a 6 week Live Project with a range of clients including local community groups, charities, health organisations and regional authorities. In some cases the projects involve actual building, in others design of urban master plans, in others consultation exercises. In every case, the project is real, happening in real time with real people.

Project Brief

A project for Ecclesall Woods from locally sourced/recycled timber

Ecclesall Woods is ancient woodland within the city boundary. It has an old Sawmill site in the middle of it and there are exciting plans for developing a centre for the innovative use of timber in Sheffield.

The Sawmill site already has a number of small businesses and enterprises on the site. Over the past few years we have been building structures there that explore the use of both new local timber and recycled timber.

Last year the Forest School invited students to develop a classroom and the composting toilet and canopy from before that are still going strong. The project is about consultation with the communities that will use the new facility and designing and building an appropriate response to the need on the site.

This year the client Ted Talbot is very keen to encourage cyclists to the site and look at what facilities are needed for this. Students will chop down the trees they may use and there is skilled help on hand with working the timber.

Design Development

Following the day on site we decided to proceed with two of the schemes and work them up in much greater detail. The previous day on site meant that the 'sticks' scheme changed from a curved to a more vertical design, with floating canopies, the making having an effect on the designing. The current design for the 'modular' design are shown below.
