The term regeneration
is much misused- it is not just another word for development. Regeneration
brings both social and economic benefit at a local level through capital
investment to our towns and cities. Achieving this in a humane and
inclusive manner is our aim. In 2004 Buschow Henley completed St. Monica's, Hoxton, the conversion of a Grade II listed disused London Board School to provide vocational training facilities centred on a new restaurant along with incubator office units and a subsidized community gym. Currently we are working on environmental improvements to Buckland Court, a post-war housing estate in London, with a mandate to educate, improve residents' health, create cultural opportunities and deliver on sustainability. Both these projects have been funded by the ODPM's New Deal programme. L'Ouverture's Trinity Buoy Wharf provides an education base for a charity that works with schoolchildren and young adults and focuses on performance and the arts. Similarly our Arts & Civic Centre for Goole in the East Riding of Yorkshire will act as a catalyst in the heart of the town for a deprived community. On a larger scale – "Park + Jog” in Salford proposes a radical commuting strategy. It regenerates its surroundings, bringing activity and value to blighted sections of the city, and it radically alters the political situation for the suburb. In 2006 it was shown at the Van Alen Institute in New York as part of the international exhibition – 'The Good Life: New Public Spaces for Recreation'. |
