My design is situated in Longford town and it is aimed at the renewal of a community. A small piece of the jigsaw but a major role player in moving forward. Following my research I’ve realised that we have lots of potential in every town, a whole range of beautiful buildings on our streetscapes which could and should be saved.
Connelly Barracks: I can always remember trying to fix things and even dismantling them in order to fix it. I’ve always been good with my hands although occasionally clumsy. Buildings where always an attraction especially historic buildings and with the arrange of buildings in the country I believe there is a huge opportunity in conservation. Conservation should be seen as adaptive reuse and the benefits it has on communities. Heritage buildings connect us to our past and give us a sense of belonging.
