Reconfiguring Margins

The project is set in the context of today’s political hostility towards the vulnerable. Located on a site that regularly floods, it makes a positive proposal to support marginalised communities in Wicker, Castlegate and Burngreave. A community-initiated scheme is established which seeks to unify existing grassroots neighbourhood resources into one programme. It constitutes an alternative civic hub driven by a Community Trust. Can working at the edge of communities establish a zone of exchange, which in turn encourages broader interaction with the wider city?
