Site B is an existing building, its business doesn’t work currently, and can be drastically remodelled. Different from Site A, Site B is an entirely indoor space. I used the arch to improve the narrow pavement and make transition space between the high street and interior space. The function of Site B can be summarized as a commercial art exhibition, café, and semi-private workshop. In addition to providing citizens social spaces, Site B also aimed at providing space and atmosphere for learning skills.

Transparent for sight sorted out existing windows in the exterior façade design, use different materials to separate inside and outside, and maintained visibility. Lighting and other decorations are placed on the top of the arcade to make the high street attractive even in winter, which has short daytime. Moreover, the railroad tracks and coal trolley in the decoration come from the research of Tyldesley's city memory during the Industrial Revolution.

The ground floor is mainly used to display and sell handicrafts and souvenirs to attract users, allowing them to participate in some DIY activities, which might relate to city memory, past and contemporary. Such as cotton millsrelated handicraft products, and puzzles, etc.

SITE BROOF PLAN 1:200

Roof glazing combined with façade windows allows we can use natural light as long as possible, which will also bring different shadow experiences in different weather. Repeating the arch and the same bricks as the residential area also improves the internal connection between Site A and B.

PIECE TRANSITION WITH RESIDENTS BLOCK

I continuously produced screens and stages in the design concept, to make people show themselves and make the margin close to the community. In modern society, we can always be the majority, but it may always have time to be the minority. The way to integrate the community maybe is to find things in common.

The regeneration of the high street is not aimed at one point, but more like a linear route. In this design, I selected two plots with more potential in site 3 for design, which is aimed at enhancing the sense of linear route.
