Group 09
INTERWEAVING FUTURES

We will negotiate a balance between multiple real-life planned REDEVELOPMENT schemes at the heart of Bradford. We will have a more targeted approach: picking specific social causes and carefully selecting individual buildings to REGENERATE. Then, we will tie these interventions together by RENEWING the streets between them, creating an entwined masterplan. We will assess and address social deprivations in Bradford, from loss of businesses and empty buildings to homelessness, to RECAPTURE the fascinating, but underappreciated, architectural heritage of Bradford. Through master plans, heritage studies, landscaping, and artistic interventions we will produce a holistic scheme to RESTORE regions of Bradford City Centre.

Fraser M
Name: Fraser Matthews (MArch 1)
Atelier: Continuity (CTY)
About me:
As a graduate of CTY at BA level, I have long had an interest in heritage. I believe that high quality existing buildings are the biggest asset to interventions in any built environment.
I am interested in responsibly transformative urban architecture. The lens in which I view urban interventions is usually concerned with the political and social. I am especially interested in the targeted interventions of our project, aiming to address specific social issues through architecture, while honouring the fantastic physical heritage of Bradford’s buildings.
