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

precedents/materials etc

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
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

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.
