In this module we were encouraged to consider the sustainable use of finite resources and explore the creation of distinctive places for communities to live, work and play. We evaluated a current planning application for the Adel Reformatory site and explored other sustainable developments such as the award winning CITU project.

​

In my design for the site I included solar panels for sustainability and for drainage I incorporated decorative swales and permeable surfaces. I also included several elements within my design to encouraging a sense of community.

​

One of the biggest challenges for this assignment was the constraints imposed on the use of space by the position of a listed quadrangle complex at the heart of the site. Placement of new housing and green space had to work around this existing structure.
