THE BIG ART ROUTE

CULTURAL CANALS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES Multi-Purpose 4/1
This proposal creates a walking route interspersed with a menage of engaging functions, stretching from privately booked workshops to cafes, public performance spaces and art galleries. This multi-faceted programme and

The hey-day of the canal has many elements worthy of retention, grounding a sense of community in a multi-faceted and developing built environment. The Big Art Route unites the following fragmented development schemes to solidify Nottingham’s Southern Gateway as a thriving and cohesive pedestrian district: the Broadmarsh Development, Nottingham College, the Central Shopping District, the Contemporary and the Canal. Engagement with the duality of these pedestrian

In summary, this proposal seeks to protect the values of the cultural canal, while exploring modern life in the context of Nottingham’s developing urban vitality.

BACK TO THE BREWTURE This project seeks to re-ignite Fairbourne’s social and economic landscape through a community pub/brewery and conference centre. The pub provides a local hub to strengthen community relationships and encourage wider social interaction, increasing the social capital of the community and increasing their agency. used to pay for the impending demolition of the houses and support local action groups like the Fairbourne Facing Change committee. These groups also require facilities to support their space. The conference centre will support formal communication channels between community groups and the local authority. The construction of the project will be completed on a programme that parallels a traditional process of reclaiming common land, Ty Unnos. A central chimney will be constructed over night, symbolic of the community’s reclamation of power, then the remaining building can be constructed from waste materials from the decommissioned houses. A series of inter-related processes ensures the located in an existing culvert, and a gravitational potential storage method.

Static elements repurposed
Looking at the proportion of the visitors within the teenage and young adult group, and then comparing the data to the visitor breakdown of Liverpool’s more traditional library, can help quantify the level of youth interaction. In the future it is expected that physical artwork will be replaced by new technology, encouraging new generations to virtually interact with the building.
success of the homeless operation can come through comparison of the number of interactions with homeless people per year, with those of existing charities. Comparing repeat rates may also identify areas in which improvement is needed, creating a constant cycle of feedback.

1 The general aim of this development is to extend civic pride out from the city centre and into the industrial area. This will be achieved by creating a more stimulating urban environment in the form of a street, providing pedestrians with an exciting multisensory experience. The viewing tower element of the building also creates a new landmark, lending the area definition and visibility. There will be links to the existing plans for future development in the area, like the 10 streets proposal, collectively creating a more vibrant and engaging area. The implementation of new transport routes will act as an indicator of increases traffic to the area. These new transport links are also an important part of the buildings sustainability goals; reducing the use of private transport and encouraging users to walk of cycle. Surveys of local inhabitants can be done before and after development to measure how feelings towards the area change.
2 Pressing environmental concerns in the present can only lead to further considerations in future, which is why existing passive sustainable features have been included to work in conjunction with more extensive later measures, as technology develops. Extensive north lighting and necessary shading are in place, while grey water systems harvest rain and waste for reuse. The success of these systems can be measured theoretically against the LEED building regulations, while the post occupancy reports can illustrate the actual building performance.

By integrating elements of the existing buildings, landmarks and natural features of the site, the new space interweaves with the physical, social and historical context.

metal clad outer walls and roof represent the plants of Scott’s Dyke growing up and over the divide, creating a zone of interaction between them. The angles of the roof are found in the roofs of the surrounding buildings, while smaller details like the depth of the window frames replicate the thresholds of Gilnockie Tower. Ultimately the visitor centre alters the negative space of the whole village.

It also creates a more contextual relationship with the park, by replicating the decay of natural structures.
HIDDEN VOICES facilitates unlearning through the reconstruction of social norms, approaches to unspoken truths and perception of forbidden topics. The primary aim was to combat stigmas and taboos in order to address social biases. This was achieved by bringing to light the hidden stories of the community. Ultimately facilitating communication between people who might not ordinarily understand or associate with one another.
