Shan Erh Yang is a Taiwan-born art student, currently at the Royal College of Art in White City, studying Interior Design, and an "admirer of English culture and scenery...a lot of my projects have focused on redesigning elements in the UK".

Re-imagining Shepherd's Bush Green
Shan Erh Yang's current project involves re-imagining and re-building Shepherd's Bush Green, but wants input from local residents: "as part of this project, I really want to design a concept for this area that takes into consideration the views and opinions of local residents".

Questions for local residents:
  1. Should the children's playground to be rebuilt? (there are already two functioning playgrounds)
  2. Should Shepherd's Bush Green have new routes for cycling?
  3. Is there anything cultural about the space that you would to see maintained and not replaced?
  4. Is there any part of the space that is being re-designed that you would like see be preserved?
  5. Should Shepherd's Bush Green have new flowerbeds?

  1. What would really help would be a dedicated park supervisor; a "Parkie" (as they used to be called) to keep an eye on the place and stop the locals from treating it so badly. The problem with the Green is not the Green itself, it is the people who abuse it.
