Client handover

Steve and the design team

Gris and Sarah giving the presentation to the worshipping community

Before the new studio project began i went and visited the ARCH exhibition in All Hallows which was tremendously interesting to see the church take on this transformation and the coming together of the work by Trish and Simon. During the event I spoke to Steve, stating that we should keep in contact with the church to understand the impact of the work undertaken, whether or not it proves useful, which bits were more interesting for the church and also to understand to see what, if anything will be taken forward. We had said that a sensible time for this discussion would be the churches AGM (Annual General Meeting) meeting in April, as here they will discuss all aspects of church life, its ethos and direction for the upcoming year.

So student involvement has now finished on All Hallows and we have all gone our separate ways. I know we would like to thank all the workers and members of All Hallows for their hospitality and generosity throughout the design process. The experience gained by the entire design team through client and community interaction will prove invaluable to our individual architectural and social development and we can only hope that the work undertaken on behalf of the church and community centre act as a tool to guide the future of a valuable social resource.

Promotion of ARCH event

Promotion of the ARCH event in community centres

Today I went to Leeds to tie up a few loose ends, speak to some community centre representatives and promote the ARCH event to local enterprises. Whilst doing this, I was speaking to a representative of the Woodhouse Community Centre who was enthusiastic about the work we are doing and that evening was meeting representatives of the LUU to discuss volunteer dispersion throughout the ward, she then offered to out discuss the work we are doing with the university activity groups in relation to possible voluntary activity within All Hallows. During this discussion we talked about some of All Hallows members joining the 'community transformers' scheme which she stated would be the most sensible step for All Hallows in relation to the implementation and progression of the live project.
