240val_NEW VALLANCE

New Vallance is a project partnership with Vallance Community Sports Association (VSCA). This project demonstrates Football as Architecture: more than a game. More than a club, it provides for a small East London community that embraces football as an impetus to transformation. ‘Premiership cities’ like London can learn from apparently ‘lower league cities’ like Bangkok: AP Thailand and CJ Worx worked wonders by creating space. As Pirlo would do.

240val_FOOTBALL AS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

From this photo from our recent client meeting just off über-fashionable Redchurch Street in Shoreditch, it is obvious that Vallance FC needs new training, education and community facilities. Asides from offering state-of-the-art football coaching, other community activities will produce, in the words of Barça, mes que un club or ‘more than a club’. Vallance FC participated in the recent Bangladeshi Football Awards where there were more cups than Chelsea’s had titles (though with two that’s not difficult). mes-q-2 www.blablablarchitecture.com141106_meetingIMG_0917
