Holy Island in North Wales has experienced a loss of community value. The closure of the aluminium smelter has reinforced the diminishing status the Island’s cultural heritage.
I have outlined four characteristic landscapes on the Island that will be the key drivers for a regeneration strategy: Mountain, Industrial, Water and Green.
The root to my investigation is understanding value. What it is that the community considers being most important. Possible outcomes for the landscapes may include:
Water- a gateway to the Island accommodating surrounding activity
Mountain-social housing development
Industrial – a community market
Green-a viewing point
Through sensitive thinking and re engaging with users of the landscape through workshops, I will construct a framework to mix everyday life and cultural desire. An identity landscape.
