DAY ONE!

we started the session by doing a range of ice breaker activities in order to get to know one another better. following this we deconstructed the brief so that the new members of the group could gain a better understanding of what is expected from the project. site analysis as well as background research on For Tyldesley was conducted. we finished off the session with a collaging activity, where all members expressed their visions for the site using images that they had found in their initial research.

DAY TWO!

we followed the site visit, with a community consultation at the complete kindness café to get feedback on what local individuals would like to see on this site. this session allowed the community to voice their opinions, educate us on the historic elements of Tyldesley which are forgotten about and create excitement for the future interventions on the high street.

DAY THREE!

in the afternoon we took a trip down to the hulme community garden centre to learn about different types of vegetation that could be included in our site. we looked at a variety of edible plants that would be safe for children to be around and would be used by the community café. following information provided from the consultations we have been able to select a variety of plants that would be suitable for the site and the overall use.
