The Florence Institute: Conceptual Ideas
The Florence Institute: Conceptual Ideas
Located on Mill Street in Toxteth, Liverpool, this historic but neglected building stands as a memorial of the work of Sir Bernard Hall a former Mayer of Liverpool and local business man. He originally built it in memory of his daughter who tragically died at a young age. It was designed as a place of recreation and soon became an institute for boys. It served the young working and unemployed in the Conceptual area.
Ideas

My design will be influenced by the concept of free flowing ribbon design and unravelling spirals. These effects will enable the space to flow without any limits.
