SURPRISE // How different the town centre feels in comparison to the residential outer parts. They have a detached feeling to them. Every house looks the same. The streets are very clean but lifeless. The centre has layers, decade stacked upon decade. Maybe it is my point of view, as I didn't grow up in an small irish town, but you can feel the nostalgia and years in the city centre. The outskirts are lacking culture, individuality and public green. TECHNOLOGY // Via computation my aim is to first find suitable space for future growth and create a more individual neighbourhood without copy paste houses. How could the people of Mountmellick interact or participate in such a process? NEXT STEP // I am starting to analyse the different typologies I find in the outskirts of Mountmellick, but as well in the older structures asking myself the following questions: How are the houses connected to public space? What are the major characteristics of the typologies? Are there design elements, shapes or materials that "hold the town together"?
