Following a regeneration Master Plan for the Modernist Shopping center located in Norwich, UK, building analysis, demographic studies, and design logic lead to the design of the North Norwich Arts Centre. A new cultural centre for a city prime for regeneration.
The building program follows two objectives in response to building and site research. 1. Enhance existing community and avoid displacement by: creating flexible and adaptive spaces for artists to foster a creative and makerly building space, creating a link with existing artist communities in the city, and improve amenities and services to create a better makerly atmosphere for artists. 2. Create a new arts center for emerging living working community in Norwich.
