사용연한이 넘어 폐기되는 지하철은 이제 런던, 도심지 내에
새로운 문화, 예술을 위한 공용공간으로 재사용된다.
어반 보이드, 문화공간이 상대적으로 빈약한
빈곤, 낙후지역 내에 문화와 예술공간을 충진 확대하는
이번 프로젝트는 특히 청소년들에게 보다 많은
문화활동의 기회를 부여함으로써
도시문화를 재생하는 역활까지 수행하게 된다.
이러한 접점공간의 확대는 도시를 풍부하게 활력있게 변화시킨다.

Called the Village Underground, the striking development is situated in
Shoreditch, the heart of London's artistic community, and will be
unveiled in the summer. The ROCKWOOL Group's company in the UK, ROCKWOOL
Ltd., is among the participants in this unique scheme.
Village Underground aims to help disadvantaged young people develop
skills that can be transferred into the work place. It is surrounded by
some of the most deprived areas in the UK and will provide access to
arts and cultural facilities for the local community and for visitors.
Inspiring work spaces
Several London Underground train carriages are being converted into
eye catching high specification studios, creating inspiring work spaces
for future creative talent. The complex also has a rooftop garden
complete with an outdoor cinema, fully equipped fi lm and photography
studios and a venue for live music performances.
Tom Foxcroft, Project Manager at the Village Underground Project
comments: "This is a really exciting project that will give the local
community and visitors to the area a very special place to develop their
creative talents. The ROCKWOOL donation of insulation is of major
benefit to the project, not least because it ensures the carriages
provide a comfortable place for the artists to work, but also because it
will significantly minimise our carbon footprint. We have carefully
specified construction products to ensure the Village Underground
project is as sustainable a development as possible and ROCKWOOL
insulation life cycle assessments easily met our strict environmental
criteria. The Village Underground cultural centre has already been rated
as East London's most exciting new art space and has been host to
fashion-shows, music video shoots and numerous performances."
As Village Underground is designed to be an example of
environmentally friendly construction adhering to the strictest
environmental standards, the energy efficiency provided by ROCKWOOL
insulation is paramount for this most unusual development.
