Fairfield Network: Mobility Structures as Social Structures

At the moment Croydon and the issue of refugees is brought up a lot in the news. The backlash against Lily Allen’s comments about the Calais Jungle and comments made by a Conservative MP and sections of the British media have highlighted some developing problems surrounding immigration.

After analysing the programme of Fairfield halls for the past three years we could not find anything which integrated all these social groups (residents, workers and immigrants) together.

We then decided to look at Croydon more broadly and understand where these different groups gathered to see how we could harness this existing social condition and enhance it with our structures to allow networks between different types of people to flourish.

The site of Wellesley Road is interesting for its strong Modernist aesthetic. The main spine of Wellesley Road being is obviously designed with a top-down perspective where the existing infrastructure dominates the area and effectively splits East croydon into two halves.

Potteries Thinkbelt by Cedric Price: a Conceptual Reference

The Potteries “Think-Belt” (1963-66) by Cedric Price, envisaged the reuse of an abandoned railway line in the derelict North Staffordshire Potteries as a roving “higher education facility”. Covering a 108-squaremile “campus.”

Price’s Think-belt was designed to provide scientific education for 20,000 students and re-establish the Potteries as a centre of science and technology.

Using this as inspiration, we wanted to use the infrastructure of the Croydon Tramlink and reframe it as the “travelling social activator” bringing people directly to the civic “zones” located along Wellesley Road.
