Some photos of student work from unit A of the University of East
Londons' end of year exhibition showcasing alternative proposals to the
ongoing regeneration process of Wood Green. Unit A collaborated with the
planning department of Haringey Council this year to investigate
opportunities for urban change through a series of small-scale architectural
interventions across the Heartlands study area (reference to Meanwhile projects delivery).
Through careful site analysis, students developed specific briefs
and building programmes with a focus around the agenda of 'openness' for
eight different project sites. The 1:500 site
model displays the collective response to existing conditions of urban fragmentation
through testing a series of strategies that would unlock qualities of the urban fabric and reactivate the public realm as a means to achieve inclusive forms of regeneration.
