We Are The Trampled: A study into Rough Sleeping on Cardiff City Centre Streets

[billygibsonarchitecture]

Homelessness in it’s most entrenched forms is a recurring issue in many of our city centres across the UK. This research paper will provide an insight into the personal experiences of the rough sleeping community on Cardiff’s city centre streets, and the useful-ness of the city’s existing urban fabric upon the homeless communities there, through psychological, social, philosophical and physical means. This paper identifies the vital nature of a person understanding their whole perception of ‘self’ through a series of component parts. The components: Memory, Loneliness, Interaction, Surveillance and Comfort, shall hope to construct an embodied understanding of a rough sleeper in the city. Through this extraction, the research explores each of these elemental interrogations through the medium of narrative, photography, and diagram, whereby participants will weave narratives on the everyday through a rough sleepers’s situation within the urban fabric of Cardiff’s City Centre.
