It should be redeveloped for high quality housing. This will respond to a critical need in South Liverpool. Housing use will enable the beneficial use of the listed building and redevelopment of City Campus (LJMU) the remainder of the site provides an opportunity to deliver high quality apartment development alongside large family housing, including 4 and 5 bedroom properties with gardens. The IM Marsh Campus comprises various university buildings, that range in age and quality, and three sports pitches. The buildings on the Site will be surplus to academic requirements, following the planned transfer of faculties to the Copperas Hill site in the City Centre. The buildings are relatively low quality both visually and physically, apart from two historic buildings. The previously developed land on the Site represents c.50% of the total Site area. The remaining Site area comprises sports pitches which LJMU are currently developing a strategy to relocate near to the City Centre Campus. These planned improvements are part of LJMU’s wider vision to deliver a walkable campus within Liverpool City Centre.

It assesses the impact of Russian technological Modernism, especially Constructivism, in the United States, chiefly in New York where it was disseminated, mimicked, and redefined. It is based on the paradox that Americans travelling to Europe and Russia on cultural pilgrimages to escape America were greeted with ‘Amerikanismus’ and ‘Amerikanizm’, where America represented the vanguard of technological modernity.
