Remember to Forget - March, 2022
220316 Remember to Forget_ Into Eternity and Deep Time Reckoning.pptx'Remember to Forget' is review of two sources investigating the issues and implications of long term nuclear waste disposal. Both 'Into Eternity' a Film Documentary by Michael Madsen and 'Deep Time Reckoning' by Vincent Ialenti are narratives in 'vast time' of the Onkalo Nuclear Waste Repository in Finland, which consider the practicalities and implications of the belief that we can extend design thinking over 100,000 years.
This scholarship was untaken as part of the year 2 undergraduate tutor group CPD. This represented an opportunity to discuss my reading on 'extreme temporality' which is a component of my PhD thesis on Architecture and Time. An argument in the thesis is that time is an ever present and interactive context in which architecture and its actors must exist. It is through rich scenarios such as those presented by Madsen and Ialenti that we can appreciate aspects of this relationship.
The presentation was made in the context of a UG tutor CPD presentation session following which the ensuing discussion acknowledging temporality as way to understand how particular types of interaction in the built environment makes that built environment over time.

How Engaged Learning Can Educate Professionals For A Sustainable Future - February, 2020
The presentation aimed to explore the relationship between engaged learning and employability, using examples from both Architecture and Law Schools. The collaboration enabled a discussion and comparison between pedagogical approaches in the two Schools, and explained how engaged learning introduces the complexity of real-life issues into students' learning, as well as the enhanced value of engaged learning in a research-led context. The presentation also focused on sustainable employability skills for professional courses that are at the centre of the two Schools.

Superstudio’s lost project for Sheffield
Superstudio’s lost project for Sheffield
In my recent research, I have discovered a previously unknown project by the Italian architectural theorists Superstudio for Sheffield, which was part of their Continuous Monument project of 1969. In Superstudio’s presentation of the project one of the montages is entitled 'Coketown Revisited’, without any reference to a specific location. I have identified the background as a photograph of a street in Sheffield taken by Roger Mayne. I have also identified the location of the street (demolished in the 1970s). From this information it has been possible to reconstruct the full plan and extent of the project. At over 2 miles long and 67m high, it dwarfs all of the other major architectural projects for Sheffield that were being carried out in the 1960s, including Park Hill, Hyde Park, Kelvin and the Tinsley Viaduct. I have already produced plans and new photomontages showing the scale and impact of the structure on the city.
So far, I have given two talks on this research, the first to accompany the S1 Love Among the Ruins exhibition and the second at the Sheffield Modern Architecture Weekender. I would now like to develop a journal article about the topic.

International Cohousing Summit - A Gathering of Professionals - 13th-15th January 2022
"Sam Brown is an architect and coordinates the Live Projects Programme at the University of Sheffield School of Architecture. Together with young professionals participating in the programme, he will talk about their unique collaboration with OpHouse to provide pre-design services for forming groups and developing project briefs, which can otherwise present a barrier for new groups starting out. Originating as a ‘live’ element of an academic programme, the Live Projects Programme has evolved into Live Works, an off-campus project office offering ongoing services to groups as they acquire land and move into the development phase. In focusing on participatory process and continuing community engagement, the model offers a means to support the community-led housing sector in a context of uncertain and short-term government support."
---------------------------------------
Conference presentation on a case study of a Live Project carried out in collaboration with a community-led housing group, OpHouse, and facilitated by a regional community land trust, YorSpace, both based in York. The presentation was delivered jointly by the University of Sheffield School of Architecture’s Live Projects Coordinator, Sam Brown, together with students from the project, Laurie Hampson, Scott McKenzie, Thomas Ruff and Elle Clemens.
The aim of the project is to renovate Morrell House, a former care home, into residential space via self-building and related community intervention. The Live Projects team’s role was to help engage the local community and potential residents with the design of the renovated building.
The conference contribution was to a session exploring alternative means of initiating or progressing a project when compared to conventional client-professional relationships in housing delivery.

Empowering Design Practices: Live Projects Box - November, 2019- March, 2020
Empowering Design Practices is a 5 year funded research project, in collaboration with The Open University and The GlassHouse. The Live Projects Box was designed and assembled by a Live Works team and showcased at the EDP Live event. The Box marks the culmination of the wider research project and highlights the importance of the Live Projects to the overall success of the research work.
The Live Projects Box comprises a pair of interactive units, designed to travel around the country and installed in Historic places of worship. Once opened, the boxes provide an interactive guide to the Live Projects, providing inspiration and advice for groups aiming to open their building up for wider community use. The Live Project Box also enables people to consider key issues that they may need to address in their buildings, and begin to consider how these might be addressed in the future.

A Part of and Apart From - March (event) + September (presentation), 2019
A Part of and Apart From - Published.pdfA workshop delivered in March 2019 by the authors and MArch students at the ‘School Fundamental’ Festival, Bauhaus, Dessau. The event marked 100 years of the Bauhaus and 20 years of SSoA Live Projects, providing an excellent opportunity to reflect upon our live pedagogical experience within the context of the Bauhaus legacy. The workshop addressed the polarisation that can occur when discussing different types of student projects, using a matrix of four, commonly used terms: real, deliverable, speculative, abstract. Outcomes revealed how a student project can have value as both ‘a part of, and apart from’ the external world. A paper reflecting on the findings of the workshop was presented at the AAE 2019 conference at University of Westminster April 2019 and submitted to the AAE peer-reviewed journal Charette (pending).

Much has been written about assessment in higher education.Some has been written about assessment in architectural education.Some has been written about what goes on in the mind of a tutor when assessing in higher education (e.g. Sue Bloxham, Sergio Altomonte).Not much has been written about what goes on in the mind of an architecture tutor when assessing studio design work; that is what I propose to do.This project builds in some respects on the work of Prof Bryan Lawson and his studies of ‘What designers know’.
The aim is to better understand what we do and how we do it, so that through that understanding, we might do it better, or at least be better able to explain what we do to students so that assessment is not considered to be a mystery withheld by us.
The heart of the study is about how students understand what we do when we assess their work or talk about architecture with them in tutorials.

arrivalcity.studio - August 2019
Over the last 2 years I have asked students upload their projects to a wordpress site so that we have an archive of the studio work. Each student has a blog entry and has uploaded the work. Alongside uploading this years work I would like to work with a 2-3 students to edit and refine the site and the uploaded work, introduce critical reflective analysis of the findings of the studio alongside links to resources that the studio’s have collated over the years.
This year Leo has secured funding for 3 studios to produce a publication of the studio work. Arrival City is one of the studios to have access to the funding. I propose to use the funding to pay students to assist developing the site, new content and the criticalreflection. I will also use the money to pay for hosting over the next 3 years.

Experience Castlegate - September, 2018
FoTM Speigel Latest .pdfExperience Castlegate is a research project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Partners in the project are UoS academics from Archaeology, Architecture and Computer Science with creative industry and community partners, Human VR and Friends of Sheffield Castle.
Outputs from the research were showcased in the Futurecade (Millennium Galleries) for 10 days during the Festival of the Mind 2018. The exhibit was visited by 1000s of people and featured in local and regional press and TV. The project looks at Castlegate in Sheffield as a testbed to explore how immersive digital technologies can engage people in local heritage while involving them in the processes of urban regeneration.
In the Futurecade visitors experienced a 3D digital model of Sheffield’s Castle, through Augmented Reality (AR). This was the first public view of a new model of the Castle based on recent archaeological research on this hidden, yet incredibly important, piece of Sheffield’s history. The AR overlaid upon a physical model at 1:150 scale and showing the site of the Castle, and of Castle Markets, as it is now. When the model is viewed through ipads the Castle springs into view, overlaid upon the contemporary site.
Alongside the model was a film showing the digital model of the Castle, excerpts from recent archaeological archival research and future visions of the site by architecture students. This exhibit led to a lecture by Carolyn Butterworth, John Moreland and Nick Bax in the Speigeltent to 200 members of the public. Carolyn also gave a lecture to 120 members of the alumni Heritage Circle in Firth Hall on the project.
The Experience Castlegate model and AR is due to be shown at the National Videogame Museum in Castlegate for several weeks in spring 2019

Mind The Gap - live pedagogy in an era of localism - September, 2017
AAE 2017 Slides Final.pptxAAE Conference 2017 Extended Abstract CB.docxA joint-authored presentation given at AAE 2017, Oxford Brookes University with MArch graduate and PhD candidate Tom Moore.
“We present this work as a reflection upon the evolving role of ‘live pedagogy’ as a critical and transformative practice that operates simultaneously in academia and in real urban contexts. The capacity of live pedagogy to empower citizens and build local resilience is apparent now more than ever as the socio-political context shifts towards co-production. This paper will explore the opportunities that our staff and students have ‘to make a difference’ through our engaged teaching and research – to build capacity within local communities, to develop effective design solutions, to open up support networks and access to funding and ultimately to facilitate the production of better quality environments.
We celebrate these opportunities while exploring the ethical and pedagogical challenges that arise from them. The ambition of co-production is to close the gap between local citizens and the structures that produce our built environment. We believe our challenge is not to merely bridge that gap but to transform the nature of service provision in the process. Universities and, in particular, schools of architecture are well-placed to become ‘agents for change’, reconfiguring the gap between communities and traditional structures as a place for innovation and transformation, a place to take care, nurture and be ‘mindful’ of possible local futures.”
This is part of an ongoing ‘live evaluation’ of our live projects and live works partnerships done via interviews with clients. students and alumni focussing on four case-studies:Doncaster, Castlegate, Blackburn & Barnsley/Dearne Valley

Urban Rooms Network - April, 2017
URN Canvas for Community Engagement.pdfThe Urban Room Network was set up in April 2015 with Carolyn Butterworth as the founding Chair. The network’s aim is to share best practice in place-based creative community engagement and promote the value of Urban Rooms across the UK. Our definition of Urban Rooms:
“Every town and city should have a physical space where people can go to understand, debate and get involved in the past, present and future of where they live, work and play. The purpose of these Urban Rooms is to foster meaningful connections between people and place, using creative methods of engagement to encourage active participation in the future of our buildings, streets and neighbourhoods.”
On the 25th of April 2017, The Big Meet #7: Engaging Communities in Place-Making, organised by a team from Live Works on behalf of the URN, took place in UCL. The ‘Big Meet’ is a bi-annual conference, organised by the Place Alliance, who campaign for place quality along with organisations across the UK who are working in the field of place-based community engagement. 90 delegates including local authorities, housing associations, community groups, regeneration bodies, education and arts organisations attended April’s Big Meet. The event showcased a range of projects from the Urban Room Network including the Sheffield School of Architecture’s Live Works, Blackburn Urban Room and Bristol Architecture Centre. In the afternoon delegates took part in a workshop, using a Canvas for Community Engagement developed by Live Works, to understand the challenges and opportunities in developing their own Urban Room or place-based community engagement project. They were prompted to consider the ethical and practical aspects of the project in order to ensure that the engagement would be locally relevant, sustainable and creative.

On the 25th of April 2017, The Big Meet #7: Engaging Communities in Place-Making, organised by a team from Live Works on behalf of the URN, took place in UCL. The ‘Big Meet’ is a bi-annual conference, organised by the Place Alliance, who campaign for place quality along with organisations across the UK who are working in the field of place-based community engagement. 90 delegates including local authorities, housing associations, community groups, regeneration bodies, education and arts organisations attended April’s Big Meet. The event showcased a range of projects from the Urban Room Network including the Sheffield School of Architecture’s Live Works, Blackburn Urban Room and Bristol Architecture Centre. In the afternoon delegates took part in a workshop, using a Canvas for Community Engagement developed by Live Works, to understand the challenges and opportunities in developing their own Urban Room or place-based community engagement project. They were prompted to consider the ethical and practical aspects of the project in order to ensure that the engagement would be locally relevant, sustainable and creative.

Everyone teaches, everyone learns: The mutual benefits of live pedagogy - 2016
Everyone teaches L&T Workshop Slides.pdfThe School of Architecture has a national & international reputation for live projects. For 16 years our students have collaborated with external partners in the professional MArch curriculum through Live Projects. Recently we have enhanced and expanded our learning and employment opportunities for our students through Live Works, SSoA’s new Urban Room, in Sheffield city centre. Live Works combines graduate employment on projects for external clients with opportunities for students and staff to engage the public in their learning and research. We will showcase two L&T projects that have developed via the combination of the Live Projects and Live Works initiatives. The projects demonstrate a hybrid model of learning where graduates, external clients, students and staff construct projects together. Clients and students engaged in these projects will reflect upon the mutual learning resulting from their involvement. Attendees will be helped to map and develop similar opportunities within their own curricula via a matrix developed for the session.

Legacy and Placemaking through Temporal use - Conference 2012, Published 2016
This paper will examine three realized projects in Leeds and York, England, to question the legacy and ‘value’ of temporal use within the city and the connections between affect and place.
The three case studies are; an established annual light-based festival, a single night pop up cinema, and an art installation sited on a disused viaduct. Each project questions the future use of our heritage buildings, their sites and context. The case studies form destinations which are not part of an established cultural heritage ‘trail’ or route. The action of ‘making and doing’ reverses our analysis of art and film from a tool we were using to help understand a place, to a medium that helped to define a place as a meanwhile use. Simon Baker is a protagonist who worked to re-appropriate the underutilized spaces and Sarah Mills is a lecturer of Architecture and uses film and Situationist techniques to analyse the subversion of the everyday. Challenging the normative modes of architectural practice engenders collaboration and questions existing policies, guidelines, buildings and the current purpose of place.

Liveness in the School of Architecture - 2015
Liveness in the School of Architecture - 2015
TESS slides LC and DJ 2015.pdfPresented at TESS (Teaching Excellence in Social Sciences) conference in 2015.
The School of Architecture has pioneered a range of ‘Live’ learning experiences for UG and PG students. The richness and value of such approaches are recognised by staff and students alike, with Live projects firmly at the centre of the School’s identity and student offer. We see Liveness as a central approach to our future teaching, providing a supportive academic environment for students to interact with real people in the real world with real issues to address.
One of the challenges that we face in Live project work is making the assessment process an integral part of the learning experience rather than a tick box exercise. But how can we equitably, accurately and sensitively assess Live work, when processes and outputs are heavily influenced by the vagaries of a real life context, client whims and a myriad of public viewpoints?
Our presentation will be based around the following key themes, which will act as a framework around which various Live projects from UG and PG will be explored. We will aim to reflect on the successes of the projects in terms of Liveness and look at how our approach can be refined for future students, to ensure that a resilient and sustainable model is in place.

ReMake Castlegate - September, 2014
ReMake Castlegate - September, 2014
ReMake Castlegate Culture Consortium.pptxReMake Castlegate was a project developed in partnership with Yorkshire Artspace and commissioned artists Simon le Ruez, Anne-Marie Atkinson and Clare McCormak to explore the past, present and future of the Castlegate area of Sheffield. As part of Festival of the Mind 2014 local people were invited to work with a large physical model of Castlegate, to express, record and share memories, opinions and ideas for the area. The project was hosted at Exchange Place Studios, where, over the course of the Festival, we invited local people and businesses to add to and remake parts of a large physical model, capturing what has been lost, what remains, and what could be. Over the week we had 800 visitors and saw Castlegate re-made by many hands, all revealing the area’s diversity and idiosyncrasies. The findings from the project were presented at Urban Design Week and to the Culture Consortium and SCC. The project was the catalyst for years of SSoA working in Castlegate through multiple Live Projects, Live Studios and co-production with SCC and local stakeholders.

aae 2014 conference proceedings.pdfDuring the AAE conference, Live Works will be based at Union Street, in the City Centre. We aim to offer an event based around a recent research project looking at the cultural value of architecture. There will be an interactive exhibition based on workshops with members of the public looking at how they value architecture. Delegates will also be offered a Spotter’s Guide, to go out and explore some key buildings in the city centre and appraise the value of them. We hope this activity will provide an interesting counter-point and fringe event to the conference; providing a city centre orientation station and showcase how SSoA engages the people of Sheffield in its work.
