The brief
Olivia Marshall's thesis reworks a town-centre site in Shrewsbury that lost its purpose after public functions moved away and retail declined.
The proposal reimagines a Victorian department store with offices for start-ups, flexible retail, housing and community-focused public space. It is shaped by the town's social and physical context and the creative identity of the Original Shrewsbury movement.
