Plan

The extent of demolition would extend from the north corner of the Leeds & Holbeck building society to the south edge of the House of Fraser Dept. Store.

Dealing with two 4 storey blank walls as a "built canyon" will include planting and parasite oriel windows punching through from the respective neighbouring buildings, providing them with additional usable and interesting floor space.

Sketches

Early ideas shown here hint at how the Market re-housing would take place in a form suspended above the opened New Market Arcade.

Primarily, the aim of the reconiguration of lower Briggate would be to create a vista and pedestrian flow through what is currently "blocked" by a dark, univiting space.

An unobstructed and appealing route with collective points of interest punctuating the flow centred by a fluid square, a heart space, allowing for pausing, or resting.
