What is SPUD?
SPUD stands for Space, Placemaking and Urban Design and is the name of a new network of architectural youth groups across southern Hampshire. From Autumn 2009 groups are running in Eastleigh, Portsmouth and Southampton, each consisting of 12 young people aged 14-19 years old who are passionate about the built environment and interested in helping influence the future of their towns and cities. Each group has a specific design project (below) and will work with an architectural practice, Planning Aid and their local authority to develop concept designs for their chosen areas.
The programme will run initially for 12 months with the students gaining a range of new skills and experience, and where possible accreditation to take back to their schools and colleges. The groups are open to any motivated young people living in Eastleigh, Portsmouth or Southampton.
This website will be the place to find out more about the programme as it develops – with the student group creating all the content on the site. Check back often to see how things develop and take a look at what is happening in the other areas too and add your own opinions to the blog!
The PROJECT
The Portsmouth SPUD group launched in February 2010. 10 students from across Portsmouth have joined the group and are all working on ideas to regenerate the area around Tipner to the North of the City. Keep an eye on the blog below to see how the students ideas develop.
