Intial Ideas

The Brief states that we must create an campaign to raise awareness and support for the regeneration of abandon buildings or parks so they can be transformed into something useful to the community for example a abandoned park can be turned into a sports field or be brought back to life.

In my Group there is a mixture people from both Ashwell and Baldock so we can easily access information about regeneration of local area, whether it be positive or negative. 

The target audience for the campaign are teenagers with an interest in their local community and the adults when settled into a community with a sense of permanence because the main incentive for regeneration is preserving buildings for the future, it would make sense if the target audience had an interest in the future of their communities.

For this Project we need to...

• Research Campaigns.
• Find appropriate places to feature in our campaign.
• Take honest but shocking images to convince the target audience to support Regeneration.
• Produce moving images to attract the attention of the target audience.
• Interview a member of our local council about derelict houses that could be renovated and deserted land that could be used for farming.
• Create Print campaigns e.g. newspapers, posters, leaflets etc.
• Create an extensive website with at least three webpage.

I already have some derelict buildings and fields in mind, my first one is an unused field owned by the parish council, it was  used to keep horses several years ago but has been allowed to overgrow.

 

This field was used for keeping horses or cattle but hasn't been used in the last six to seven years. It has been abandoned for years and since the church hasn't put it to good use I think it could be restore as an field for farming or livestock or it could b used as a small splash park or playground.

Similar to the field the stables were abandoned about ten years ago, the space around it has been allowed to grow in to a mess and there has been no action to sell the building or restore it back to a part of society.

 

 It could easily be restored as a stable, considering the neighbouring fields and paths. Another possibility would be for it be transformed into a house, instead of building on new land that could be used for farming.
