A RESPONSE TO THE CURRENT HOUSING AND SOCIAL ISSUES OF WYE, I AM DESIGNING AFFORDABLE AND SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE LIVING, A SOCIAL AND ACTIVE EXPERIENCE, AND COMMUNITY BASED CIVIC AREAS. TO CREATE A CONNECTED COMMUNITY AND PROMOTE MOVEMENT BY ANIMATING THE VILLAGE. BY LINKING WITH THE HISTORICAL PILGRIMS WAY AND PROPOSE MOTION IN THE FORM OF FOLK DANCE AS AN ADDITIONAL PROGRAM. THIS IS TO BE DONE BY DESIGNING A SEASONAL BASED DANCE HUB AND LINKED EVENTS, CONNECTING MY TWO SITES ACROSS THE VILLAGE OF WYE, REVIVING AN OLD FOTPATH WITH A NEW PEDESTRIAN ROUTE. VIEWED BY THREE VIEWING TOWERS ON EACH SITE, CONNECTING THE PATH OVERLOOKING THE START TO THE END OF THE ROUTE, WHILE ALSO VIEWING WYE AS A HISTORICAL LANDMARK.

”BASED ON THE DANCERS MOVEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDING OF USING SPACE AND THE WAY OF TRAVELLING THROUGH A ROOM,. I HAVE BASED MY THREE SITES AS A JOURNEY THROUGH WYE. LINKING IT ALL TO MY FOLK DANCE HUB LOCATED IN TO MIDDLE OF AN ALLOMENT AREA, PERFECTLY PLACED BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL PILGRIMS WAY AND THE TWO MAJOR PUBLIC SPACES IN THE VILLAGE; THE TOWN HALL AND CHURCH. THE HUB SPREADS ITS THREADS REACHING OUT TO THE FAR COURNERS OF WYE. WITH FOLK DANCE AND TRADITIONAL KENTISH HOODENING OF PARADING THROUGH THE VILLAGE, CONNECTING IT THROUGH ANIMATING THE VILLAGE CREATING MOVEMENT AND CONNECTIVITY.

WHERE THE RESIDENTS CAN ENGAGE IN CULTURAL AND COMMUNITY BASED ACTIVITES AND EVENTS ON EACH SITE OR SEASONALLY AT THE HUB. WHERE TEACHERS CAN GAIN ACCOMMODATION ON WILLOW OR OXENTURN IF SO DESIRED. OPEN FOR ALL AGES + ALLOCATED CLASSES FOR AGE GROUPS”.
