Reviving Lost Space and Forgotten Skills Part 2 Project 2025 Amy-Chloe Booth University of Lincoln Lincoln | UK This project explores the adaptive reuse of a 19th-century industrial warehouse in Nottingham, transformed into a cultural and skills development centre for young people. It responds to rising youth unemployment and thelack of centralised upskilling opportunities in the city, particularly in light of shifts caused by the fourth industrial revolution. The design focuses on closing the skills gap by promoting traditional crafts such as carpentry, which remain essential despite increasing automation and digitalisation.Rooted in tectonic theory, the project balances historical preservation with contemporary intervention. The original brickwork and foundations were retained, while new elements- glass, steel, and framed structures-were introduced to create a visual dialogue between old and new. Elevated walkways and suspended levels maintain spatial openness while enhancing circulation and views. The careful assembly of materials expresses how construction methods can convey meaning through structure and form.Ultimately, the project demonstrates how adaptive reuse can preserve heritage while addressing current social and economic challenges. It provides a space that celebrates craftsmanship, fosters learning, and redefines the role of architecture in shaping an inclusive, future-ready urban environment. Tutor(s)
