Situated in the Fabric District, The Brickworks serves as both a generative hub and an educational institution. The original Red Brick City is constantly evolving, with projects across the area continuously rebuilding and intervening with existing structures. Amidst this architectural activity in Liverpool, bricks frequently become waste products due to demolitions and general site clearance. The Brickworks encourages construction sites to recycle their brick waste, providing a designated area and opportunity for this process.
Liverpool faces a gap in educational opportunities for individuals who have finished school but are not engaged in work or university. The concept of recycling bricks can be adopted by these individuals at The Brickworks, where they can learn the trade both practically and theoretically. This facility aims to connect individuals with the trade, offering them a deeper understanding of the process and opening up pathways to apprenticeships and employment. By doing so, it encourages the local community to engage more closely with the architecture of their city while contributing to sustainable building practices.
