INBETWEEN
In/Between, A Pocket Park Nestled in Stockport. In collaboration with Stockport Council, we have been tasked to design an intervention in between the Merseyway shopping centre and the Redrock entertainment complex, for a space they have described as an ‘In-between Space’. We will transform sketches, doodles and concepts into digital representations that can be pieced together to create a feasible set of proposals! So, you may be asking yourself, why does this all matter? Well, let me tell you! Stockport is currently undergoing extensive regeneration and our site is just a small piece of the wider puzzle! It will form part of a connection between the well-established Redrock complex, and the underused main street of the Merseyway shopping centre! Creating these habitable pedestrian corridors is essential, enabling movement between these two disconnected areas, will inspire travel and increase footfall in areas that are currently struggling. Within this MSA Live group, you will have the opportunity to creatively explore master planning at a variety of scales, work on a live project and develop software skills to create inspiring and developed proposals. During the action weeks, we will split into 2 teams, with one focusing on a permanent intervention, and the other developing a temporary intervention that could be changed and altered by the council. These two areas of exploration will give you plenty of freedom for creativity whilst also being grounded in the real world!
