My Last Year University Project at Northumbria (Part 1 Architecture Undergrad).
Smith's Docks embodies a multifaceted approach to household item restoration, providing North Shields residents with a spectrum of choices. Whether individuals opt to personally deliver damaged items, avail of home collection via electric vans, or engage in hands-on repair learning, the repair hub accommodates diverse preferences. In a bid to bolster employment prospects in a region grappling with low job opportunities, the hub introduces skill-building avenues in craftsman- ship and repair disciplines. Envisioned as a catalyst for a circular economy, this endeavour not only champions environmental preservation but also imparts sustainable technology access, fostering inclusivity, vocational opportunities, and a platform for charitable contributions.
