Department stores, once palaces of delight and theatres of modernity, are now empty remnants of splendor, marked by boarded-up windows and cold interiors.
Just as warehouses were reinvented 50 years ago, there’s a growing hope for repurposing department stores into vibrant communal spaces, indicating a return to local life.
The 25,000 Davidson prize has been awarded to a proposal to transform an old Debenhams into a center of communal life, showcasing innovative architecture.
The revival project at Bobby's highlights the enduring community connections fostered in department stores, emphasizing their historical significance and the nostalgia they evoke.
