code: creative, aims to revitalise the once abandoned power station through the constant production of renewed creative energy. Derived from the study into todays push towards “STEM” education (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) identified that the lack in Arts education is ‘schooling’ people out of creative thinking and the problem-solving associated with such skills.

 

My proposal elevates the notion of creativity to an important significance, using vaulted ceilings & detailed codes, as a motif for a precious, preserved environment. The visitor is the heart of the project, whose creative experience is activated from entry to exit. Although creative engagement is intrinsic to learning spaces, it is absent within a typical performance watching or dining situation. These two typologies traditionally limits visitors to the role of receivers where they either sit passively in their seat viewing a performance or choose an item off a menu and then wait for it to appear in front of them. My proposal explores how the interior environments of these typologies can be re-thought to have greater impact on the visitors creative engagement.
