Crossings

A collection of 24 collaborative projects in the city collectively named 'Crossings'. Each event has been created and delivered by groups of 3 or 4 students in the MArch and has been formulated with four key elements, agenda, collaborator, production and mastercraft. In short each project was required to have an agenda to be developed alongside an external collaborator which has an output manifest in the city.

<< Agenda >> Idea, Exploration, Connection, Study, Analysis, Space, Examination, Enquiry ...?
<< Collaborator >> Architect, Artist, Bricklayer, Charity, Client, Contractor, Organisation, Society ...
?<< Production >> Exhibition, Installation, Symposium, Workshop, Procession, Protest, Legislation ...?
<< Mastercraft >> Skill, Drawing, Modelling, Fabrication, Building, Curating, Communicating ...? ?

The project and supplementary film explored how space is negotiated and developed in the city through a series of installations, workshops and exhibitions. Students have been working with collaborators such as The National Football Museum, EON, FC United, Moston Miners Club, New Charter Housing Trust, The Imperial War Museum North, RIBA Northwest, Soup Collective, MAD LAB, i-architect, Victoria Baths, Austin: Smith-Lord, Save Preston Bus Station, Gate 81, Detroit Art Corps, Lisa Raynes, Buddleia Commissions, Loop Systems, Creative Manchester, CityCo, Tatton Park and Manchester Confidential.
