Concept:The programme was called SPUD 5x5 to build on the brand and reputation of the SPUD (Space, Placemaking and Urban Design) youth programme already developed by the Solent Centre for Architecture + Design.SPUD 5x5 worked with 5 school groups in 5 locations using a variety of methodologies and themes with each group. The workshop activities in schools were supplemented by informal contacts with young people in the 5 areas – allowing them to contribute without the need to join a specific group. The groups in each location were given one of 5 key issues to focus on as follows:• Landscape and Green Space• Heritage and Conservation• Individuals and Communities• Sustainability• Access All 5 school groups worked together at workshops on masterplanning, urban design and methods of investigation held in the Bargate Centre, Southampton and at Phoenix Arts, Bordon.
