Final Iteration
Final Iteration
The final iteration has taken the development of all previous iterations into account and the outcome is a rough concept of what in my opinion works out best for the space and its context.
​
The concept supports a new urban design development including and surrounding Stretford Essoldo.
​
The former entertainment center is restored to be an indoor community space, the forgotten canalside is opened up and made accessible space for the community.
