Jynn Kernow Part 1 Project 2025 Austin Wright Manchester School of Architecture | UK Jynn Kernow, which translates to The Cornish Machine in its native language, is a proposal grounded in Cornwall’s mining heritage and designed to support its future as lithium extraction returns to the region. Located at the historic Geevor Tin Mine, the project offers a phased approach to industrial development that prioritizes resilience, self-sufficiency and community stability. The proposal begins with resources already on site, including mineral spoil heaps and geothermal heat from flooded mine shafts. Phase 1 starts with the construction of a building, assembled without heavy machinery, using a lightweight kit that evolves into a permanent structure. This creates the foundation for a self-sustaining system. Phase Two introduces food and water systems such as aquaponics and geothermal purification, reducing dependency on imports. Only after these systems are in place does Phase Three introduce lithium extraction, supported by infrastructure designed to protect the community from market volatility. The initial structure is designed to fit within a single shipping container, making it easily transportable and adaptable to other sites across Cornwall. Jynn Kernow serves as a replicable model for a community focused revival of the Cornish mining industry. Tutor(s)
