Brighton Grove’s Edible Pavilion and Community Garden

July 31st, 2011
A project you may have missed but will be sure to visit at the Brighton Grove Allotment Society Show on 7th August 2011 is the
Edible Pavillion.

The project was part of the ongoing work throughout Manchester Allotments with Christopher Jaume and Thomas Petch from Manchester School of Architecture’s Projects Unit

Photobucket

The designs were based upon a drawing competition run at the adjacent St James C of E Primary School, where the school children drew their dream image of the growing site.

The Edible Pavilion was located on this site, and born out of a desire to prototype cheap, sustainable building techniques, as part of our aims for the Manchester Architecture and Design Festival.

Christopher and Thomas have worked together over 2 years to develop innovative projects based upon small scale urban agriculture with the support of AMAS.
