Charly Earnshaw

Charly has recently completed her Part 1 at the University of Nottingham. As part of the ‘Forgotten Places’ unit, she became interested in the revival and transformation of previously neglected spaces. Her thesis investigated the decline of the traditional, retail focussed, highstreet and strove to create a new alternative. Identifying COVID as a catalyst in this decline and studying its wider effects on 

society – her thesis set out a new environment to fill these previously neglected spaces and bring together a wide spectrum of uses and users, in particular, catering for an increasing demand for adult education and retraining. 

Since graduating in 2021, Charly has worked at AHMM where she has been able to continue to work with retrofit projects, working on a mixed-use office scheme. She will continue to work there alongside her studies at LSA.
