A longstanding partnership between South Yorkshire Housing Association and the School of Architecture. This ‘Project Stack’ brings together design and research projects from multiple courses and year groups to develop knowledge and specialist skills in social housing design and performance.
2019 - 2022 / South Yorkshire / in partnership with South Yorkshire Housing Association
This partnership with South Yorkshire Housing Association builds on earlier collaborations to form a ‘project stack’ – a bringing together of projects across different parts of the School of Architecture and across several years. Now in its fourth year the partnership, coordinated by Live Works, has produced a wealth of research and design proposals that build specialist skills and knowledge for our students and academics, and for SYHA’s staff and customers. Outputs from three years of the SYHA Project Stack include dissertations, case-studies, design proposals and Live Projects. Areas of focus include customer participation and co-design, modern methods of construction, zero-carbon futures, co-housing, liveable neighbourhoods, self-build and adaptability.
In 2022 Live Works worked with SYHA to produce an exhibition of Years 1 & 2 of the Project Stack outputs. This was displayed at the SYHA offices in Sheffield city centre for several months and was accompanied by an audio tour.
