Group 10 / REIMAGINGING WATERBARN CHAPEL

Eleanor Somerset W

Key takeaways from the consultation:

Community-centered design:
There was a strong desire amongst the attendees for the Chapel to become a social hub that served the community’s needs beyond housing.

Barriers to preservation:
Heritage preservation is often hindered by issues such as a lack of funding, different political ideologies, or misaligned priorities. In order for regeneration projects like the Waterbarn Chapel to succeed, there needs to be communication, honest conversations, collaboration, and a strong local network.

Cultural heritage:
One of the attendees at our community consultation said, "Heritage is not just something from the past—it affects us now." This encapsulated a recurring theme in our discussions. Heritage, both tangible and intangible, is just as much a reflection of our past as it is our present.
