Previous posts have related the contrast between a project that has presence, identity - is venerable Vs the need for a space that is motivational, uplifting and engaging.
As a political forum, there is a dire need for people in themselves to feel respected and valued - giving power to their own opinions and valuing them for their political input. How can the building facilitate this change and value of idea?
Taking a note from the context of the railway, I think that the scale needs to be adjusted to feel like a community space. Great in scale, but not grand. Modern and optimistic, yet understanding where you have come from, and where you going. As such, I think a more industrial and mechanized aesthetic is appropriate for the site. As a predominantly manufacturing town, there is a large number of factories and warehouses within the city itself. I feel the new architectural installation should reference this in its site contextual relations.
