Architectural programme as it relates to site 1

Met to discuss the analysis and architectural programme as it relates to our Unit's specific site (The Foot of the Walk).

"Programme: a planned series of events; a set of related measures or activities with a long term aim."

Appropriate programmes identified:

• Housing/residential component
• Public space/square
• Community involvement
• Connection space between open spaces of Leith Links and Kirkgate centre
• Meeting point
• Focus point for Foot of the Walk - marker or front door to Leith
• Church activities
• Advertising
• Integration of Leith Dockers social club on site
• Beware of displacement of residential units to east
• Tatoo parlour
• Art supplies available to students and public
• Building supplies - eg. the relationship between Lawson's and eca
• Streetscape relationship at south - pavement/shop/road relationship

Inappropriate programmes

• Open air sports
• Anything overly-Port/harbour related
