A Town that Grows from Within Part 1 Project 2025 Almamon Khalaf Coventry University | UK Not rebuilt, but reimagined by those who call it home, this project begins with what remains: vacant spaces, overlooked skills, and a quiet will to act. In towns like Nuneaton, decline is not just economic, it is civic and spatial, unfolding through disconnection, disuse, and the erosion of shared purpose. What is proposed here is not a singular solution, but a regenerative system. A framework of modular, low-tech structures that grow through participation, built by local hands, shaped by local needs. It begins with one site: a small workshop, open to all, where fabrication becomes a form of learning, and making becomes a means of reimagining. As spaces are built, they multiply. One becomes two, then five, each one different, each one part of a wider civic ecology. These structures house not just function, but trust: places to repair, to gather, to care. Architecture, here, is not imposed. It is composed, incrementally, communally, and with time. This is not revival through replacement, but renewal through shared authorship. A town that grows from within. Tutor(s)
