After investigating with residents what they think could rehabilitate their community, we came to the conclusion that an activities centre would help prevent anti-social behaviour, improve the mental and physical wellbeing of residents and help give the forgotten area an identity.

 

In this project I researched into colour theory, coming to the finding that the combination of pink concrete and the biophilic green planting would help promote nutritious diets. The centre is designed around the concept of making people move. This and the constraints of manouvering around the boundaries of a sportshall on the restrictive site led to the use of ‘Pepper Pot’ buildings, with these linked by ‘Connectors,’corridors which are the arteries of the building.
