Brighton Hippodrome
“Host buildings are wrappers of different kinds, manifested as physical construction into which new life is introduced. Their ability to sustain a new use depends on many specific and individual factors: their condition, their potential to sustain additional load, their spatial fit with the demands of new use, their memory, their placement in context.”1
Considering the Hippodrome a host building, new functions and spaces are introduced based on contemporary behaviours and activities.

Fashion Community House
The proposal aims to engage people with fashion and the left Grade II Hippodrome. People can chase the trend or create their own or reuse and repair clothes making most of their wardrobes.
The building will aim to encourage people in choosing or creating their own fabric and designing it with the aid of tailors. It also provides an opportunity for fashion designers in the area to be seen and exposed. The project aims to provide products to the local fashion shops in the Lanes to support its economy. It aids in marketing purposes for all visitors of the buildings whether bloggers, designers, writers, or models.
The building is not socially divided, on the contrary it will provide a possibility for various age groups and careers and classes to share the space whether in designing, learning a skill, or knitting for the aim of socializing and meeting people. It will be a great choice for people who would like to choose sewing as a path in rehabilitation process from various mental health issues.
