Stockport | with David Chandler
A continuing body of work in contemplation of the urban future of a Northern town.
Initially a cross section of the town for MMU Market Place Studios, part of a survey for the benefit of MMU research on Stockport town centre, in particular; Little Underbank, Royal Oak Yard, Great Underbank, Adlington Walk and High Bankside. A series of design interventions; a re-imagined square
at Adlington Walks, a traffic-free public space between Market Hall and St
Mary’s Church, a temporary arts space in the Co-op Car Park, Carillon Square, a new civic space with bells. A research-intended comparative study of several urban centres in terms of their footprint area resulting from highways planning (Lincoln 24.5%, Stockport 51%). A web-based and pdf situationist perambulation around the contemporary town linking its heritage sights. |  |
