The Corroded Collective is a vibrant community dedicated to the arts and sculptures. It is divided into three distinct spaces, each contributing to the collective’s dynamic environment. The Collective features a dining space, a metal sculpture workshop, and gallery spaces located within  tower that offers stunning views over Liverpool.  The Corroded Collective is formed by adapting and preserving two existing structures. This preservation ensures that the murals and the artistic flare of the Fabric District remains intact, adding to the district’s colourful and artistic ambience.

This image showcases the corroded collective dining hall, offering casual dining for the community. It features a mezzanine, large ceiling lights for natural light, and a variety of food choices.

In this series of images, you follow the journey from the new pedestrianised entrance into the dining hall, where my semester 1 building is also visible. The second image highlights the workspace, with the mezzanine walkway providing views down into the workshop and studio spaces above. Moving into the central core, you see the hub of activity through the tower, with entrances to galleries, teaching spaces, and the central core all accessible from this central walkway. Finally, the collaborative space inside the tower offers areas for communal work and socialisation.
