Urbis Interview: Ravensbourne's Architecture and IDEAs lookbook URBIS 2017 GRADUATE BOOK | Page 102
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.
The site will offer art studios,
theatres, multi-purpose spaces, a
pub, a tester kitchen and a small
restaurant. 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.
