Research concerning the future of Chatham Intra led by the
School of Architecture Design and Planning, University of Kent
In association with Medway Council and Historic England
Following on from her Foundation degree in Art & Design, Charlotte studied architecture at the University of Manchester before spending two years working abroad in Fiji and Australia. She is now in the final year of her Masters degree at Kent. Aside from architecture, Charlotte loves surfing and travelling, dog walks on the beach and drinking tea. She also enjoys playing violin in her spare time and performing in orchestras with other musicians.
The Chapel of Broken Things stores and catalogues broken and discarded household items which would have otherwise been fly tipped or sent to landfill. Workshop spaces allow people to create ‘new’ composite furniture pieces collaging these old, unwanted household items together. The architecture of the centre reflects this circular economy concept by using demolished building materials from Chatham Intra. The design also reinstates an original Wesleyan chapel that sits at the back of the site, creating a landmark to draw people down Intra’s High Street.
