Welcome to the The Faculty of Environment and Technology 2022 Virtual Degree show.
This project looks at creating a collaboration space for Bristol's creative professionals and a place for new business start-ups to call home. New creatives are provided with the facilities they need and support from Bristol's universities to encourage the growth of creative professions. The site is one quarter of the historic Roman city's footprint, now inhabited by three abandoned bank buildings. By using adaptive reuse, this project aims to revitalize this integral site by using elements of the existing to minimise embodied carbon. The design of the new elements reflects the historic streetscape in it’s density and form, bringing life back to a currently desolate city centre site.At it's core Bristol is a creative city. Bringing creativity to a site in the historic heart of Bristol is an opportunity to build and encourage this key use, and cement Bristol as the creative hub of the United Kingdom.
