Not your ordinary leaflets !

Based on the survey results and observations done on site, it is a fast-paced environment where there is a continuous flow of passers-by but minimal stops. This idea would be a quick and highly effective solution which could reach out to the general public. These could be displayed in the future visitor centre when the Town Hall reopens, as an interactive piece of information. The leaflets will be incorporated into the paper toys as one coherent piece. Think about having a mini Town Hall sitting at home – an analogue to the idea of ‘Our Town Hall’ as piece that belongs to Mancunians.
Aim: To break the stereotype of typical leaflets and provide more hands-on approach.
Aim:
1. Understanding the basic composition of the Town Hall and develop a spatial-sensitive mind
2. Understanding the building from inside-out

By taking apart and building back up the model of Manchester Town Hall, the tetrisceptional model would ideally be translated as a model that can be detached (imagine puzzle-like pieces) which would give more perspective towards the exterior and interior of the entire Town Hall. This would include the spaces, function, circulation, structure and any features within the building.

1. Understanding the basic composition of the Town Hall and develop a spatial-sensitive mind
2. Understanding the building from inside-out

Our very first visit to the Town Hall was on the 21st of January which also marks our very first meeting with our collaborators. We were fortunate to have a quick glimpse around the Town Hall and was guided by our collaborators, Peter and Westley. We noticed how intricately the details were designed to portray its quality of space. Lining the internal courtyard are 3 main wings of the Town Hall and main staircases that had so much character.

At the end of the intensive weeks, we are planning a display and hands on workshop in the Central Library. The team will be setting up a space in the library to conduct the workshop. The general public is welcomed to join the session. Along with this, the team will approach the library users to engage with the activity and also to hand on the paper toy leaflets as a means of promoting the Town Hall. The tetrisceptional model will also be displayed to allow the public to interact with.

The discussions have been ongoing however subject to the availability of the Central Library.
