You are invited to St Michael’s Church Hall, Slateford Road on Thursday 4th March 2010 at 7.30pm for a design meeting for the community contra-plan for the site of the old biscuit factory.
In this 2-hour meeting we will build on comments given by all the participants at our successful ideas session on 12th January. If you weren't able to make it, see www.flowercolonies.org.uk for more about this fun, interactive meeting - we want to keep up the positive energy and take it another stage further with your help on 4th March.
Your comments have helped our experts, architect Duncan Whatmore, urban designer Ross McEwan and public artist Shaeron Averbuch to draw up guidelines that will help us create a real plan for the future. We shall be looking at images, sketching on scaled drawings and talking or writing creatively to firm up a community-led alternative plan for the factory site and part of the railway path behind.
If you plan to come, you may want to bring along any images of buildings or open spaces that you have seen. This will help us to define four conceptual plans that consider the following independently:
1) buildings 2) movement 3) uses and activities and 4) open space.
For each of these areas, there are a small number of questions that may give you some ideas as to what will be expected. They are available on the website under the contra-plan section. Any thoughts in advance will help to make this meeting really productive.
We are also interested in any off-the-wall ideas and temporary uses of the space while its future is decided.
