'Looking Beyond: The Periscopic Pavilion' by Max Dewdney ArchitectsThe Periscopic Pavilion provides a space to look beyond physical boundaries aiming to allow us to see the world around us in new and unexpected ways. The pavilion provides an intimate space with three periscopic viewing chimneys. The concept of Looking Beyond refers to both military instruments and to a unexpected form, aiming to challenge our normal expectations of space and consider how perception is a vital tool of understanding physical, political and cultural boundaries.
'The Refugees and Befriending Project' by Merrett Houmøller Ltd
The Refugees and Befriending Project brings vulnerable young people together who have crossed borders to get to the UK. Once a week they gather together, with British Red Cross volunteers and staff, to cook and eat a meal together. The weekly sessions provide young asylum seekers and refugees with friendly support and life skills as well as the chance to have fun, build confidence and improve their English.
Interface to Place - a process of transforming a ‘Peace Wall’ by MMAS
Designed to be situated at any interface structure in Northern Ireland, MMAS proposes adapting a section of wall into a pair of gates-come-benches that open to create a public space straddling the divide between neighbourhoods, some separated for several generations. The project corresponds with the government’s strategic commitment to remove the interface structures by 2023. MMAS are currently working with communities at an interface in one area to develop their design idea.
