A new use for a derelict sorting office in Harehills, Leeds
Enter the poetic dimension, a building with a strong connection to its previous hub for communication, forgotten by a forgotten generation in a forgotten location.
Re-imagined for a new role to suit a vibrant local community, A poetry and debating Centre.
This design works as an escape from the straight and the narrow, the confined and the immobile; instead this building and its space offer architecture to enrich, enlighten and engage through thoughts movement and senses.
A series of spaces purpose designed for people to interact through speech, study speech and master listening. Each space features kinetic furniture that performs with you and creates an active process of listening and reciting.
Oriented strands stick together and do their own thing whilst steel lives again to take a grip of this new reality folding and moving like paper. Hemp fibres and various composites are symbols of diversity that provide a foundation for creative activity. This is OurStory.
