Pilot Project of LEGWORK proposal
The multistory car parks in the centre of Slough provide a generous 10m2 of parking space for every resident but most of these existing car parks aren’t used to their full capacity. Could the currently unoccupied space be used temporarily? The available space offers the opportunity to introduce individuality, creativity and greenery into the mono-functional town centre of Slough currently dominated by cars and chain shops.
The top three
floors of the Council owned multi-story car park “Hatfield”
located
60m off the High Street are currently unused and the space could be adjusted with little
means to house exhibitions, film screenings, performances, markets, or
could contain temporary artist studios and business starter units.

Workshop with Slough Young People Centre; architecture students Unit F, University of East London
During a workshop in January 06 the idea of reusing car parking spaces was tested with a group from the Slough Young People Centre and architecture students from the University of East London. One deck of the mostly unused multi-storey car park “Hatfield” in the centre of Slough was temporarily transformed into a workshop, exhibition and performance space.
