LASTING IMPRESSION
Dan Nduka Loughborough University Architecture
The objective of this project is to design a visitor’s centre to commemorate the 1932 Kinder Scout Mass Trespass as a way of using architecture to serve the local community. My intervention focuses on the concept of “the path” and how it has not only defined the Right to Roam within The Peak District but also how it acts as the medium through which the members of it’s community forge interpersonal connections. The design blends indoor and outdoor spaces with the ground floor being an outdoor exhibition space that follows the slope of the site.
