List of Buildings

The following is a preliminary list of buildings that will be included in the scheme:


List of buildings:

Fashion Buildings:

·         Design, incorporating:
o   Design offices for fashion labels (depends on how many labels I envisage using the site)
o   Fashion ‘Library’ – source of precedents/materials etc
o   College element
·         Production, incorporating:
o   System for taking goods/supplies straight off train on the railway
o   Storage for raw materials (cow hide, fleece, silk/cotton BEFORE they’ve been spun)
o   Tannery and spinning rooms in order to turn raw materials into workable materials
o   Production workshops (depends on how many labels I envisage using the site)
o   College element
·         Presentation, incorporating:
o   Exhibition spaces
o   Catwalks
o   Reception areas inc. bars etc
o   Auditoria for lectures/presentations that a catwalk would be unsuitable for
o   College element
·         Fashion Museum (Interactive, designed to pull people in)
·         Lace Pavilions (four elements along main route) – as well as feeding other destinations, these should have spaces for sitting/staying incorporated

Other buildings:

·         Hotel(s?)
·         Small Transport hubs – one for the tram and one for the buses
·         Cafes/Restaurants/Bars
·         Mixed use (residential above, max 4 storeys, with cafes/restaurants/bars/shops at ground level)
Public spaces, including outdoor performance spaces, outdoor catwalks?, seating, water features, greenery, spaces for small scale games/sports?

NOTE: As highlighted above, programmes such as ‘design offices’ can pretty much be repeated indefinitely, I can include as many/as few as I need.  This is obviously convenient in terms of the density issue, which I can use to determine how many I include.
