A sustainable environment in which members of the community can share and learn practical and creative skills which will enhance their lives and their surroundings. This is an initiative to encourage unemployed people to learn skills and then produce items for sale to the local community and beyond.

In response to the brief, I have chosen an area which is populated by predominantly unemployed working class people who have not been exposed to artistic and cultural activities and in this sense are deprived. I wanted to provide the opportunities for them to discover new skills while still keeping their cultural roots. 02 X Herbert Street Middlesbrough TS3 6JS 01 03 [01] Proposed block of houses [02] Site map [03] Gardening area and theatre Patchwork
