Abstract

Abstract The Grange Pavilion project began in 2012 when residents of Grangetown, Cardiff began to consider what they might do to act as a catalyst for the redevelopment of a former Bowls Pavilion vacated following funding cuts under austerity budgets. In a context of then Prime Minister David Cameron’s Big Society speech, the Localism Act 2011, and the launch of Cardiff Council’s Stepping Up Toolkit encouraging community groups to form and take over council services and assets, residents understood the task of activating a civic space as something which might become an “all-consuming project.” This paper reflects on eight years (to date) of gathering, valuing, and preparing for the intended and unintended consequences of taking on a small civic space, and critically considers the role of architectural education and practice within a Community Asset Transfer.

行动中的集合:一个公民空间的激活

摘要Grange Pavilion项目始于2012年，当时加的夫Grangetown的居民开始考虑他们可以做些什么来促进在紧缩预算下削减资金后腾空的前Bowls Pavilion的重建。在时任首相戴维·卡梅伦的“大社会”演讲、2011年《地方主义法案》以及加的夫议会“加强工具包”的推出，鼓励社区团体组建并接管议会服务和资产的背景下，居民们将激活公民空间的任务理解为一个可能成为“全消费项目”的任务。“本文回顾了八年来（迄今为止）收集、评估和准备小型公民空间的预期和意外后果，并批判性地考虑了建筑教育和实践在社区资产转让中的作用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
