Design Brief

I have decided to make my project on an old building next to Hornchurch Library. On the site there is a building which was used as a telephone exchange and now looks outdated. I specifically chose this area as it is in the centre of Hornchurch and is already surrounded by new developments. That is why I have decided on building a museum based on the history of Hornchurch . It will have separate spaces based on different time periods along with a small café and gift shop. The theme for the project is simple and complex and I have specifically been inspired by Viking knots and knots in general.

I would like my buildings/space to be:

Accessible to everyone

To make it functionally and aesthetically pleasing

Educate young people on Hornchurch's history

I would like my museum to have:

A small café area

Separate spaces for different time periods

An small theatre like area for educational talks

An outdoor area
