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 started off the morning with a bus to Tyldesley, to conduct a site visit. we walked along the high street to understand the rich cultural heritage that the area holds and how to incorporate these elements back to the site and enhance the existing mural.

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 TWO!

we finished off the day with a session with the eco council at st george's central c.e., this session included a number of children who were passionate about creating a sustainable safe space for them to enjoy as well as attracting wildlife. the children took part in activities that included drawing, placing and using lego on large sheets of the site. the children voiced their opinions and were excited to see what the final outcome would be!

DAY FOUR!

our morning started off with group presentations and conversations, we all shared our findings from the consultations and what the required output for the site needs to be. this was followed by presentations on inspirational precedent studies which could influence the design of the site.

DAY FOUR!

we followed with a sketching workshop, where we all created individual site plans with the information gathered from the last few days.

DAY FOUR!

the outcomes of the sketching workshop allowed us all to come together and create a final design for the site!
