Lead ArchitectKyungwon Ryu

The dockyard church in Sheerness, Kent, had been ruined since 2001, enduring a series of fires that rendered it redundant and structurally unstable. I interpreted the relationship of the existing building and the scaffolding structure as a harmonious relationship, with the old and the new supporting each other To reinforce this connection, the church will become a makerspace. A place where various professions will work together in order to promote the local economy. Boat yards that build traditional boats as commemoration of what the dockyard had existed for , are placed alongside makers.
