Day 5- Tuesday 6th October


Day 5 in the LoveEaston House. In dear need of funds!

We need to raise an amount of funds to cover food and drink on our opening exhibition night at the Architecture Centre. Therefore fundraising ideas became was stipulated. For now we are planning to hold a gig in the café and sell raffles to win a hamper.

Preparation gets underway with our new ‘Food Fuddle’ event, and everyone has been pacing around all day to collect information and history surrounding Easton.

Juliet also gave a presentation on her previous project of ‘Park Hill, Sheffield’. This allowed us to see how she tackled that area from a different perspective to Easton. It gives us a fair idea what content and demographic studies we would like in our document.

Tonight is the [Duty to Involve Debate: What it Means to Community Led Design?] Building up to Shanks Love Easton presentation we covered various issues on community-led design. How can we transform vision into a reality? How much say should the public have in how their communities are developed? Consultations is a huge driving factor and they are many vehicles for these consultations such models, workshops.

About Us

Local residents and architects have taken the initiative to find out what their community wants during a month-long intensive consultation this October. The aim is to create a shared vision for Easton’s future which will then be developed into a strategic, community-led regeneration document that reflects local people’s aspirations. This urban regeneration document will clearly set out residents’ visions and will not only give the community more power at the planning stage but will also be invaluable for developers and the local authority. The ProjectEaston team is based out of the LoveEaston cafe on Stapleton Rd for the duration of the project and the outcomes will be exhibited at the Bristol Architecture Centre from the 3rd November. Come along!
