Reimagining Stockport

About

An exhibition of 10 thesis projects that explore the opportunity to rebuild one of the most vacant high streets in the UK.  Rejecting demolition and landfill in favour of inventive and sustainable reuse, the projects intricately weave through the existing townscape proposing dramatic adaptations and promoting a sustainable rebuilding from this point of stasis. 

A series of finely crafted paper tapestries will be on display, made collectively as an expression of the town's unique character to understand the essence of a place. With the idea of making something from nothing, pieces of newspaper are meticulously reprocessed and inscribed with local histories, landmarks and stories of the town, impressing value through their careful making. 

This show is a culmination of a year's worth of research undertaken by our MArch studio at Sheffield School of Architecture. We look forward to welcoming you to the slow opening on Saturday 19th September with viewing slots available from 12 noon - 4pm and a few drinks throughout. The exhibition will run until the end of October.
