The Intersection (Future Project): A living lab

An anchor institution centered around culture to boast civic pride and encourage a sense of community to establish a shared vision of the people's Bournemouth. Based in the Pier Approach of Bournemouth, The Intersection functions as a completely modular building, created of 3 types of walls, 'the russian doll', which consists of layers of boxes within boxes and accordion style, in sizes for seating and wall partitions. This provides a completely flexible and dynamic outcome of the spaces as they can be changed according to the needs.

The Living lab was split into 3 zones that align with the town councils' cultural strategy "Our Big Plan - BOLD, CONFIDENT and PROUD."

Each section works through rotating facilities assigned to the aim of the specific zone. The zone accomodates to each specific facility by being customisable according to its purpose.
