Here are a few pics from some Archeology taking place adjacent to Flood Street. Sadly the fencing wouldn't allow me closer to take better pictures. The excavations show the evidence of former back to back housing, floor tiling laid directly onto the earth, street or yard cobblestones, a coal hole/cellar and possibly a garden path? Then there's a mysterious line of embossed bricks. Tho' not to be seen there'd have been outside WC's. All rather romantic as the past is often portrayed but such housing tended to create insanitary conditions with rising damp, open indoor fires & lack of ventilation. - IMG_3698.jpg

This gift was created to highlight different points in the social spaces on the high street. Aspects that we can improve on and celebrate. One point found was to incorporate more green spaces to improve health and wellbeing. The other to celebrate the textures and embossings in Dudley’s early ironworking. These ornaments were created by melting sweets and printing patterns onto them. - 0_bLySD-pGcd7BOWUv.png

For Colab Dudley, I baked a model that ties into the final proposal. Food is a huge part of history and culture and part of Dudley’s history and culture is using what food there is available. Bread is cheap and easy to make, so is found in many traditional black country dishes. I foraged for edible plants in my garden and neighbourhood and built hanging baskets and islands to show in an abstract way how public space could be more productive and beautiful. They were a tasty treat and a sustainable model! - 0_jsAY5I0mxLugFHbT.png

Explore The History Of Site Voids - This will provide an opportunity to reimplement these to allow vertical green corridors to occur. Explore Vacant Buildings - To avoid damaging an already deteriorating high street, I aim only to take over vacant plots. Investigate the opportunity for Miyawaki planting - understand the conditions required to grow a sustainable material source on-site, including ground, water, and space conditions. It takes over a building that leads directly to an open space where a community hub is the centre of the thesis, offering education, community engagement and material celebration. - Ryan Cooksey Material Celebration Hub 1.png
