THE HAWTHORN LESLIE CENTRE, HEBBURN

BA Hons, Year 3, Project 2

The main aim of this scheme is to regenerate the sense of Pride that was once so prevalent in Hebburn and the wider industrial landscape along the banks of the Tyne. The industrial nature of the place means that there has inherently been an impact on the ecology in the area. Therefore, I aim to regenerate and conserve the delicate riparian ecosystem, preserve the memory of the industry that gave rise to the neighbourhoods of Tyneside and create a place that instils a new sense of pride in the community

The introduction of viewing portals with line drawings of historic photographs transport visitors back to the industrial days of The Hawthorn Leslie shipyard - these augmented views are generated from historic photographs of the site meaning that the visitor is stood eactly where the photo was taken giving the ma feel for what the activity on site was like
