U-FARM (Urban-Food Access Review by Morphological level): Urban Design for food cycles

 Proposed urban design for Chapel Street, Salford. The Design has been generated as an output of my Urban Design Masters Dissertation. The U-FARM (Urban-Food Access Review by Morphological level) framework developed as an output of the MA Urban Design dissertation 2011. Completed @ The Joint Centre for Urban design (Oxford Brookes University)

 MA dissertation December 2010

Update 2025. I see that the land opposite Salford Cathedral has been 'developed' mostly using an outdated monolithic single aspect apartment block type - which is disapointing. This is capital development for developers rather than lifetime homes for people. The dual aspect townhouses are OK. Duals aspect / double fronted linear or perimeter blocks of flats and /or duplexes would have worked well along side the townhouses.

Musoc by Tim Smith's Cabinet, (taken from Spratley's - album Pony featuring my sister Joanne)

Concept includes virtual gallery designed in context with an existing site – an architecture conceived with ambition to conserve the Norman 'Constables House' ruin circa 1170 AD forming a gallery that I have curated with digital representations of existing artworks by friends and family.

Lower ground gallery houses work by Mike Cutts (former Chelsea College of Art and now painting as prolifically as ever in his 70's) - And one painting by me (monotone cambodian youths on a bicycle, the road to Angkor Wat 2002. Binned this a few years ago. Sculptures on 1st floor are 3D models of real work by Matthew Cutts who has produced work for Natural England and exhibited at Southside House, Wimbledon Village.
