Buttershaw Live Project is a project collaborating with a highly successful local regeneration company Royds Community Association (RCA), to buildacommunitycenterinButtershaw,Bradford,UK.
Historically, Buttershaw was one of the fastest growing area in the UK after World War II. Yet, this led to a dense population and slum. Nevertheless, Buttershaw also has a positive history Through research, a series of photos from Buttershaw Business and Enterprise College in the 1990s tells a story of community togetherness and achievements. This energy should be brought back to the whole community in order to build hope in Buttershaw.

If we imagine ideas, people, and disciplines as particles, architecture could be the particle accelerator. Maybe that’s what Jonah Lehrer meant when he said, “the most creative spaces are those which hurl us together. It is the human friction that makes the sparks.”

‘Hyperdensity’ is a competition project to design an urban area of 1 square kilometer that can accommodate 100,000 residents Jakarta is chosen as the site’s project since it is a fast-growing metropolitan city. Due to the city’s urbanisation and suburbanisation, interrelated problems are created in both the city and the suburbs. In this project, we propose relocating suburban residents concentrating them in (commuters and rural area inhabitants) and one region, which, based on transit-oriented development (TOD), is Dukuh Atas. Concentrating the population in one region leaves the peripheral (suburban) area with green spaces that can serve natural biodiversity. Reconnectingcitythroughagricultureisourdesignapproach.

The project achieved impressive self-sufficiency levels: energy, 100% in water, and 23% in food. This quantifies the significant contribution of sustainable design to building resilient and efficient urban environments.
