Design Brief

I have decided to make my project on a brown field site next to the newly regenerated site of St Georges Park. I specifically chose this area as the flats and houses built on the grounds have attracted lots of new people to the area but there is nothing there to bring them together as a community and will also put stress on already existing infrastructure.

That is why I have decided on build community facilities surrounded by lots of space for the people to use as plant beds and allotments to bring people together. There for my theme will be nature and organic as nature is known to help with peoples physical and mental health. Also it will be aesthetically pleasing as it will be seen by lots of people passing by from the main road.

Specifications

I would like my buildings/space to be:

• Accessible to everyone

• Fit in with the buildings made on the regenerated area

• To make it functionally and aesthetically pleasing

• I want my community area to have: o Library o Activities for mindfulness like yoga o A small café which allows people to work and socialise o A gym with basic sports equipment o An area for groups to meet like new parents o An area for arts like pottery and painting
