‘THE PRINTMAKERS GUILD’

26 HOPE STREET, LIVERPOOL FACADE STUDIES

PROJECT ONE: ‘THE PRINTMAKERS GUILD.’

THE RETROFIT OF 26 HOPE STREET, LIVERPOOL

THE PROJECT AIMS TO CENTRE LIVERPOOL’S OVERLOOKED VISUAL HISTORIES, USING PRINTMAKING TO AMPLIFY UNDER-REPRESENTED VOICES.

WITH COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND INCLUSIVITY AS THE MAIN DRIVING FORCES OF THE DESIGN, THE PROPOSAL INVITES THE PUBLIC TO PARTAKE IN PRINTMAKING AND INSTALLATIONS AS PART OF A MODERN ARTISTS’ GUILD.

WITH A FOCUS ON CYANOTYPE SUN PRINTING, PRINTS MADE BY THE PUBLIC CONTRIBUTE TO A COMMUNITY EXHIBITION THAT CELEBRATES HERITAGE, CULTURE AND MEMORY.

A SERIES OF LANTERNS BRIDGE THE OLD AND NEW BUILDS, WHILE PROVIDING DAYLIGHTING AND FACILITATING ENGAGEMENT BETWEEN THE WORKSHOPS AND THE PUBLIC.

A SUN TOWER GIVES A PLACE FOR CYANOTYPES TO DEVELOP, REVEALING THE PROCESS OF PRINTING TO HOPE STREET BELOW.
