“Social Celebration”

সামাজিক উদযাপন

Part 1

‘The Script’ Public Spaces Cultural Celebration

Social Celebration aims to unite two very different demographics of people, the Bangladeshi Community, and the Young Creative ‘Hipsters’, by celebrating their cultures and creating shared spaces where the two can come together to collaborate and grow as a community. ocial Connectivit

The ‘Old’ Truman Brewery site has the potential to be a catalyst for this change in the city. Sitting at the heart of brick lane it is crucial that it positively responds to the crisis at hand. The redevelopment of Elys Yard and the transformation of the large Data Centre currently on site will enable the site to work much harder for its community and have a positive impact in the surrounding area.

‘A Bridge Between Craft and Theater’ aims to utilise the skills and interests of both groups to bring them together. Celebrating the rich fabric history of the area and the importance of fashion and craft to both groups. 

All Architecture must have one main core driver for all design decision, the people who will experience it!

Social Celebration becomes a space where the creativity and self expression of the local community is brought to light and exhibited for all to enjoy. A true space for all, creating architecture that celebrates cultural richness and history rather than bulldozing it. 

Part 2

‘The Play’

The Architectural response to the Social Celebration brief which looks to tackle the issue of Social Cleansing and sits as a direct contrast to that issue, is based on how the same things that make us different are the things which unite us.

The proposal is to focus on the shared interests of both community groups to create a space that weaves the community into one and allows for collaboration, gives a voice to the once voiceless and evolves with the people.

A Place to Gather A Place to Create A Place to Perform A Place to Protest A Place to Live A Place for All

Entering Drays Walk

As you come around the corner what was once a old service route for delivery drivers is now a bustling street which connects the existing markets and stores to the score. Open at all times of day and night Truman Brewery is now fully accessible to all at all times.

Elys Bridge

The balcony style hallways of Elys Bridge becomes a hub for self expressions. Visitors are invited to make the space their own, hang paintings, paint the floors, make furniture for the space etc. A place where women feel safe to create and come together.

Craft, Create and Collaborate

The studio feels hand crafted, the sliding curtains, the cranking louvre system, the hand built wooden desks, everything made to inspire those hands on kind of people to keep creating.
