Introducing my final year project; a task to design community complex to tackle the social injustices of Nechells in Birmingham. Nechells is one of the most deprived and derelict areas in Birmingham, where over 40% of the population lack any formal qualifications and are ranked as unskilled, manual workers. Crime rates have exceeded with anti-social behaviour as one of the most reported types of crimes.
My complex offers opportunities to create a legacy of professional graded residents, increasing the social rank of the community through value of education. Workshops available offer a range of courses to acquire qualifications, to attain professional, higher-paid jobs. Historical events and achievements of the community will be showcased in the exhibition hall to give the community greater value. The unique library is designed for comfort to allow the community to enjoy & utilise the space, integrated with green, social spaces to tackle the on-going anti-social behaviour within Nechells.
