Rebirding Tide Mills Part 2 Project 2025 Charlotte Ledger University of Brighton | UK My project is an Environmental Centre and Energy Plant located within Tide Mills, Newhaven. Sitting within the abandoned mills’ ruins, it aims to distance itself away from the town's environmentally harmful industrial identity and incinerator.Although initially seen as a place where ecology and industry coexist, Tide Mills is evermore under threat. Pollution, caused by human activity,is continuing to destroy habitats and is contributing to the 44 million birds we have lost in Britain, since 1966 alone.Therefore, the thesis aims to create a multi- species architecture which allows our landscapes to be cyclical. My design promotes ecological justice, the use of hydro energy in Newhaven and, eventually, decay and growth. The building is proposed in several stages, with it first being built for humans to attend a series of rewilding workshops and lectures. During this phase non-humans like birds and invertebrates will be encouraged to nest in the building’s eaves and walls. The second phase will see regular maintenance of the thatch roofs and timbers, so that humans can still occupy the building. Once human occupation is seen as redundant, the final stage will result in the building's natural materials being allowed to decay and non-humans gaining control of the site’s future. Tutor(s)
