Mapping Carrington
Our project within Carrington is based on the idea of creating a sense of identity, as well as improving the areas for the community. Participation and interaction form the heart of the project, as we aimed to create a new space for the community, designed by the community.
​
In order to design a successful space and to generate a sense of identity, we attended several community-based events to start a conversation about the identity of Carrington. The main event we held was a community ‘street party’ where visitors were asked in different ways to interact with our project, giving their thoughts, opinions and even designs for a community space.
​
With meetings taking place in various locations within the city, the project kicked off with meetings with Sneinton Alchemy and Carrington Tenants and Residents Association. We aimed to gain a brief introduction to the areas, an insight into the great work the organisations are doing and to start a dialogue focusing on how we can work together for the community in a way to help gain a sense of identity as well as improve the areas.
