Byker Hobby Rooms
This project was investigated as part of Linked Research with Stage 5 and 6 students on the MArch degree program. The project investigated the unique phenomena of the hobby rooms in the Byker redevelopment which are currently under-occupied. By investigating their intentions and mapping the spaces of current hobby activity the project developed speculative proposals for alternative hobby spaces that offered greater flexibility and specificity. The project concluded with the construction of key items of furniture which imagined the hobby rooms as specific mobile spaces, able to support a process of redevelopment.
