My thoughts on Briggate and where we go next.
I've attached two images (oma_section and seattle library) which I've come across in researching my final project, both on the Seattle Public Library by OMA. One isn't very clear as it's quite small (I'll send a bigger one if I can find it). These are really simple images that show how the programme is inserted into the building and how they relate to each other. I wonder if there's any scope for doing something similar to what we're doing, but taking a step back and inserting a 're-definition' into the patterns we've created. So it isn't a proposal but forms the basis for one.I don't have a clear vision of what the redefinition is though, although it's obviously going to be along the lines of re-invigorating the lifeless sea of commercialism. It doesn't necessarily have to be drastic, maybe just a subtle re-invention with a clear identity? Or do we go all out and do something a little more adventurous?
As an example, if we decided to re-define Briggate as a place of international cuisine (plucked at random) then maybe the diagram looks something like the third image (briggate-food)? Just an idea, the content is irrelevant.
Thoughts?
