Trust at the Poet’s Corner

This thesis explores inclusive practices between transit populations and existing communities in order to create trust within a community afflicted by the ever-changing landscape of Cardiff engendered by the construction of Purpose Built Student Accommodations (PBSAs). 

It endeavours to do so through the creation of spaces that can foster trust between these two populations. Through the expansion and amelioration of the existing gardens. Through exchanging objects. Through making. Through an interactive non-traditional form of theatre, the promenade theatre.
