This is a overview of my project Generational Confluence. 

Located at 64 Doughty’s court  along the river Witham in Lincoln, this project responds to the increasing social disconnection between young adults and older adults. Through the adaptive reuse of a historic mill, the proposal creates and intergenerational environment focused on shared experiences, collective learning and sustainability.  Inspired by the original movement of grain through the mill, the building uses vertical and horizontal flow to bring the generations together. This concept also helps to inform circulation and spatial layouts throughout the building. Visible rainwater collection, filtration and reuse helps to connect the building on a deeper level of sustainability. This transforms the former industrial structure into a socially and environmentally regenerative space rooted in heritage and environmental considerations .
