The image shows what this space could look like as a productive landscape. Where all the space is used. Vertical growing space can be utilised for pollinators for heights out of human range and for fruit and herbs in the lower regions that lie within our grasp. Trees can provide shelter, pollen and fruit, as can shrubs. - 1_I1Zo_eW9Ylo2G6KP5uxbfw.png

TOO MUCH TRAFFIC! But the street must have vitality without it - 210731 1403 Identity.jpg
The whole High Street would be dug out to make way for this new kind of “street”. The idea, as stated, is to alter the way that people use this street, so that they can learn about the legacy of Dudley. This would mean that there would be a canopy that sits on top of the cut, that would also act as a means to shelter everything underneath, but would also be made in Dudley to promote local craftsmans. This canopy can then hold something like Theatre Curtains with the history of Dudley presented on them. As you walk through the cut, you go through all the different parts of Dudley’s Legacy - Saxon, Middle Ages, Industrial Revolution, Modern, and you would end the walk on the “Future”. You would start at one end, up by the top church, and as you walk through towards the market place, you would walk through the eras in chronological order. Then, once you exit the tunnel, you would leave the Modern era, and come out into the reclaimed green space, which would represent the future of Dudley’s Legacy. This would be a Miyawaki Forest that would be expanded out through the streets, taking over the spots where cars used to drive, to now benefit Dudley, it’s people, and the world as a whole. Dudley’s High Street is about 240 metres long, about 9 metres wide, and rises about 8 metres. This would provided a very prominent feature for the High Street if it was dug out and recommissioned. An added aspect to the dug out street would be that of the canopy that would reside above it. While thinking of the design, two ideas stood out - one that would stand raised, at about the same level as the end of the street, which would create this arcade styled archway that would reside high above the street. The second was having the canopy be flush with the pavement all the way up, except at the end that would then provide a small increase around the steps. Both ideas serve the same purpose, but provide drastically different means of doing so. - Oscar Law Parti Diagram.png

A timely reminder of our times with COVID. Almost 100 years ago this gravestone is in St Edmond’s (bottom church) it’s a fine reminder that respiratory illnesses have alway been with us. It reads;- In memory of Mordecai, son of Meredith &Tamar Ingam, who died Jan 10 1823, in the 19th year of his age. ‘Apple consumption gave the fatal blow,The stroke was certain tho’ the effect was slow,With ling’ring pain Heaven saw me sore oppressed, Pitied my sighs and kindly gave me rest’. Not the stonemason’s error on the 19 of his age, or was it 29? - 9E0D968C-A76F-43E8-A4B5-CE03C1CC4489.jpeg
