BasementArtsProject, Leeds (United Kindom) 2011
A sustainable environment for the production, display and promotion of art. The project was designed to have two integrated but separable elements, one being the redesign of the basement in a occupied terraced house and the other being the ‘what if’ re-imagining of an adjacent area of amenity space.
The project involved BA2 and BA3 students and lasted for two weeks from the point of inception to presentation. Students were divided into eight groups and the project was organised as a competition with awards for the top four sets of designs. The design work is being used by BasementArtsProject to commence fund-raising to the next phase.
