“Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.” – Frank Zappa
A historic and preserved site like the Royal Spa repurposed and reused
The NFA Studio asks questions of, and challenges the status quo of architecture through speculative design, Making (Future) History.
Communitage is an idiom between the words heritage, and community and it stands for “a new form of heritage founded with and for the community”.
The “Communitage” project suggests a change and an evolution, of the English Heritage Institution, in many terms. Repurposing the existing, reusing the space and developing a new form of “preserving” are some of the key aspects that the design tries to achieve, updating and changing future history.
