2- Street Football
Hulme Pre 1970 is mere more than row after row on terraced houses. Due to the lack of dedicated green and play space at this time, the allyways (Flourecent) that sat between each row were appropriated as the ‘play’ spaces for the residents.
In Particular these small streets became football pitches. This adaptation of the built enviroment into sporting spaces has been lost in recent developments, and along with it, the social benifits of the traditional community football games such as ‘jumpers for goalposts’ This concept of casual, adaptable football has been applied within the strucutre of this project, creating game and training spaces. The collumns are in fact defenders you have to dribble round, and the trusses become targets to shoot through.
