Project Description

The Miners Welfare Center

To re-create the meaning of Cwtch as a space which can be for more than an individual. A Cwtch, our catalyst, the community’s way to interconnect the generations through the sharing of stories, of skills, of time together and experiencing our community programmes together.

A Cwtch should be a space that supports and nurtures and that is what we aim to create. One allows the space to become grounded and provide a sense of safety [1]. A place to sing of your past and reconstruct these memories within a space that responds to this purpose [2].

Hi, my name is Prity and I'm a recent part 1 graduate of the Welsh School of Architecture. My work surrounds the concept of identity and through intensive research through literature and morphometric analysis, I have discovered culture as a means to cultivate liveability within a city.
