Thoughts on Lloyds Corner Brief.

These are some thoughts, apologies for the lack of structure.

The brief drafts are great. They seem coomprehensive in getting accross our main agenda for the project, particularly the trio of regeneration, identity and engagement.

I also agree with CC that the toolkit is a really useful document and could be referenced. Perhaps we could consider the corner's position in relation to other key sites for future regeneration ? (Is it a point on the john st triangle?) and the lloyds corner project could be open to future links with other sites- a walk, a series of related designs/objects/installations.

Perhaps there is scope for an educational element within the project?

In terms of the way the space could be inhabited and used, the past problems with street drinkers/drug users etc need to be addressed. Many residents feel strongly that seating should not be reintroduced as many campaigned to have it removed. Is there potential for an active space that rethinks the use/function/design of the pavement? With additional objects or a structure (we discussed a tree?) to give the area a landmark and area in which to explore/develop identiy?
