Site Location Plan @ 1:2000 NARRATIVE My initial project, ‘A Place For Ceremony’, was designed as a purpose-built venue for secular ceremonies (weddings & funerals). Though my previous site choice had been inappropriate, the area suited the building aptly. However, the appropriatness of the building in its location was questionable, and how greatly would the area have benefitted from its presence. Therefore, the new incarnation of ‘A Place For Ceremony’ is entitled ‘Community Hub’. The design is now focussed on providing a location, around which, a community can be established in Northern Quarter.
