This year’s Level 6 Major Project is located in Temple Works, the Grade I listed building in Holbeck, a large urban area South-West of Leeds city centre, currently undergoing a major regeneration. The scale of the building, and its unusual structural configuration, present a unique set of spatial and technical challenges, but also exceptional opportunities. Opened in 1840, Temple Works, thought to be one of the largest rooms in the world, was an impressive piece of civil engineering conceived as an open-plan space covered by sixty-six flat domes, each with a conical skylight and supported by hollow cast-iron columns. Used for less than 50 years as a flax factory, it has subsequently hosted multiple occupancies, which, together with lack of maintenance, led to its deterioration. Temple Works is presently being restored, having been chosen as the site for the British Library North. Within these parameters, students have been encouraged to problematise the role of heritage strategies in urban imagination and production; speculate on new and alternative uses for existing industrial structures; and critically engage with the politics of culture-led regeneration. Substantial individual research projects, together with rigorous design investigation, allowed students to grapple with these issues from a theoretical as well as practical perspective. In parallel, students were asked to examine and question standardised conceptions of space and time through adopting alternative approaches to the design of interiors. Informed by their selfnegotiated research topic and critical analysis of the allocated site, students have defined a range of interior programmes that subsequently led onto the formulation of self-generated design briefs. Asked to focus on a social agenda, they have come up with unexpected and unprecedented programs that can not only repurpose Temple Works, but also create radically transformed and inclusive interiors for the present Leeds.
